Chapter 569

"Your Majesty!! Please cook Chao Cuo!!"

At the very beginning of the court meeting, a minister angrily went up and demanded that Chao Cuo be cooked to death. Liu Chang, who had just sat down listlessly, suddenly woke up and had no sleepiness at all. Was this court meeting so exciting? ?

As a born jovial person, Liu Chang was full of curiosity, "What did Chao Cuo do to you, to the point of being cooked to death?"

"This guy started business first, causing chaos in the world, putting the cart before the horse, and issuing orders for assessment, so that the soldiers herd pigs, which is really rude, defrauding money, greedy and vicious, disrespecting veterans, bullying colleagues, disregarding the people, chasing fame, flattering flatter"

The more the old minister talked, the more excited he was. When he talked about Chao Cuo's crimes, he talked more and more. Liu Chang couldn't remember it. He just stopped, and then pointed at Chao Cuo among the ministers. Cursed: "You should cook and kill this person, as a warning to others!!"

The officials thought it was right, and nodded their heads in agreement: "Your Majesty, if this thief is not eliminated, the big man will be in trouble!!"

"After this beast got his ambition, he became arrogant and domineering, killed innocent people indiscriminately, tortured them in private, and even flouted the temple's laws and regulations. The crime is heinous!!"

"Your Majesty, this person is still confusing right and wrong, is ignorant, alienates the clan, has vicious intentions, and persecutes the loyal and good people in the court. Even Qu Nihou and Huaiyinhou are insulted by this person, how audacious!!"

"Your Majesty! Chao Cuo disrespected the king's law, repeatedly violated the law, beat up the soldiers who came to arrest him, and even threatened to become a court lieutenant!!"

The ministers talked in a hurry, and the court meeting suddenly turned into a criticism meeting. The impeachment of the people continued one after another. As the party involved, Chao Cuo stood in the ranks of the ministers. There was no trace of fear.

He sneered disdainfully. The more these people abused him, the happier he seemed to be. He looked at them triumphantly, facing their anger.

Several old officials were completely irritated by his appearance. If it wasn't for the court council not allowing swords, they might have assassinated Chao Cuo. Seeing them start to roll up their sleeves, Chao Cuo still didn't panic, just looked at Zhang Cuo calmly. Shi Zhi reminded: "These people are going to beat their colleagues in the court, you are a court captain, don't you care?"

Zhang Shizhi didn't hesitate, he stood in front of Chao Cuo, frowned, and looked sternly at those old officials who wanted to approach Chao Cuo.

Seeing the stubborn Zhang Shizhi stand up for him, Chao Cuo was naturally very moved, and just meditated; fight, fight, it is best to die together! !

In the early Han Dynasty, it was not uncommon for ministers to fight during court meetings, especially during the period of Emperor Gao. Some even fought against Emperor Gao in a hurry, such as a certain Marquis of Wuyang. Of course, this also happened in Liu Chang's era. Once Zhou Chang He had a fight with Zhang Buyi, no, to be precise, it was Zhou Chang who beat Zhang Buyi.

Liu Chang doesn't care about these things, he likes watching people fight the most, especially women fighting on the street, he can watch for several hours without moving, of course fighting during the court meeting is also one of his hobbies, but well, look Looking at Ji Bu who frowned frequently, Liu Chang knew that this fight was impossible.

Among the three princes, Zhang Buyi went to the riverside, Han Xin did not participate in court discussions, Zhang Cang only cared about government affairs and did not participate in such matters, but Ji Bu was still here.

"enough!!"

When Ji Bu yelled at him, all the officials fell silent.

Chao Cuo grinned, and spoke silently to the veterans around him. Although there was no sound, the words on his lips were very clear.

"Old dog."

"I'll kill you traitor!!"

Chao Cuo's provocation completely aroused the anger of the officials. In these years, Chao Cuo has indeed offended too many people. He is a minister who has experienced the founding of the country. Although his status is not as good as those of Chehou, he is still a big man who has experienced the founding of the country.

How could this brat like Chao Cuo be allowed to ride on their heads and do his best.

Immediately, several ministers rushed up, Zhang Shizhi stood in front of Chao Cuo, and fought with them. Perhaps there was also a dispute among the ministers, and it became a chaotic battle during the court meeting, and Ji Bu was furious. , Immediately ordered to arrest all participants.

Liu Chang was in the top position, and he was stopped by Ji Bu just after reading the beginning, which was a bit disappointing.

Ji Bu came out and looked at the officials seriously, "How decent!! How can you be so nonsense in front of the emperor?! How can there be such ministers in the world? Are you trying to make the emperor look bad?!"

Lu Tazhi, who had suffered an unreasonable disaster, rubbed his left eye, and said in a low voice, "You want your Majesty to look bad? Your Majesty laughed so hard just now, I clearly saw him clapping his hands and applauding."

Ji Bu didn't seem to hear his complaint, and said angrily, "Where is Ting Wei?!"

Zhang Shizhi looked at the soldiers guarding him with some embarrassment, "The minister is here."

Ji Bu glanced at him, and asked angrily, "Where is Chao Lang?!"

Gong Yangshou, who was then Chaolang and in charge of supervising temple etiquette, also raised his head under the escort of the soldiers, "The minister is here."

Ji Bu's face became even darker, he stopped summoning others, and directly ordered: "Take them all down and lock them up!!"

Lu Tazhi couldn't bear it any longer, and hurriedly said, "Censor! I'm wronged. I didn't do anything. I just pulled the minister away and got punched."

"You stay!"

Soon, more than half of the court ministers were missing, and Chao Cuo was of course taken away.

The court meeting went smoothly, because of the lack of ministers, everything discussed by Liu Chang passed quickly, but after everyone left, Ji Bu didn't leave, he pulled Lu Jia and stayed in the hall.

"Your Majesty! What happened today cannot happen again!!"

Ji Bu frowned, "Starting today, I will arrange for people to hold swords in the temple, and those who make trouble will be cut off!!"

Liu Chang nodded, and said indifferently: "You are the censor, you can decide for yourself."

Ji Bu said again: "There is Chao Cuo, Your Majesty, although Chao Cuo is talented, but his character is too bad, he must be punished. This person makes enemies everywhere and disrupts the temple. He must be severely punished!!"

Lu Jia echoed, "It's really hurtful for this person to stay in the temple. He just stands there and doesn't say anything, which makes people very angry."

Liu Changshen took it for granted that Chao Cuo was definitely the second worst person he had ever seen in his life. Just standing there made people want to beat him up. He obviously didn't say anything, just watching His expression instantly became angry.

As for the first one who deserves the most beating, of course it is Liu Ci, that inappropriate thing.

And this guy did make enemies everywhere, and he made himself a lonely minister.

You said that you are not a high-ranking Marquis of Feng, you are not even Jiuqing, what kind of lone minister are you doing?

Liu Chang said thoughtfully: "This guy really should be disciplined, he dared to offend those two people, if I don't care anymore, this guy would dare to demolish the ancestral temple!!"

Although Chao Cuo in history did not demolish the ancestral temple, he chiseled the wall of the Gaohuang Temple and made Shen Tujia mad.

In the end, the princes raised their troops for the reason that "Zhu Chao is wrong, and the Qing emperor is on his side."

He was suddenly pulled out by the emperor and cut in half. No one in the court felt wronged or wronged him, and they all clapped their hands and applauded him. He almost went to the street to cheer, which shows how good this person is in handling interpersonal relationships on weekdays.

This man is a great talent, but not easy to use.

When he proposed to the emperor to cut down the vassal, he actually thought that the princes would rebel, and even thought about how to put down their rebellion, but he didn't expect that once the princes rebelled, he would be pulled out to sacrifice the flag.

"Don't worry, I will discipline him well."

Liu Chang'an comforted the two ministers, and then let them leave. Lu Tazhi just came up at this moment, rubbed his injured eyes, and cursed: "These old dogs, if they knew I would not come to the court, Ya Fufei asked me to come, saying that I could learn something.”

"I didn't do anything, and someone stole a punch from me, which hit me right in the eye socket. Look at me, I'm swollen. I'll never come to court again, so I'm going to practice my northern army! "

Looking at his swollen eye sockets, Liu Chang couldn't help laughing.

"This is a special situation. The main reason is that in this assessment, that cunning Lizi An wanted to prevent the children of the rich and powerful from participating, but deliberately threw the charge on Chao Cuo. This aroused everyone's anger."

"They are actually probing. They are very afraid. After this assessment system is preserved in the future, it will be applied to various places. It will become a trend in the future to curb the powerful and promote poor families. This is not in line with their interests. That's why they suddenly attacked Chao Cuo. .”

"An, Shuzi, has some of my talents. I know that such things have to be thrown to others, but well, I already have Guohou... and Qu Nihou. This Chao Cuo can be used by him. .”

"In the future, if the big man wants to develop rapidly, it is necessary to promote the humble family. We can't let the rich and powerful monopolize the official title, that will cause big problems."

Liu Chang didn't hide anything from people like Lu Tazhi. They grew up together and were like brothers. Liu Chang had absolute trust in them. He didn't feel anything wrong, and even nodded.

"That's right, these idiots, relying on the merits of their fathers and grandparents, are domineering, and they want their children to continue to enjoy it. If they want to enjoy it, why don't they make meritorious deeds?"

"After I came back, these people also came to me as a whole. They all had evil intentions. They wanted me to recruit some of their relatives to serve in the Northern Army, and some even wanted them to serve as my own soldiers. Do you think I don't know their thoughts??"

"These people are crazy about officials and nobles. They regard the Northern Army as a gold-plated place. I treat this kind of people as my own soldiers. Don't I think I'm slow to die? I asked the soldiers to drive them out!!"

Liu Chang suddenly realized, he pointed to Lu Tazhi's eye sockets, and said, "No wonder it is like this."

Only then did Lu Tazhi understand, and he scolded angrily: "If anyone dares to ask me to do something, I will hang him up and beat him!!"

"Forget it, you should go back to the Northern Army. You have to be careful of these people. These old things are not simple. They seem to be reckless, but they are still very scheming. Look, Ji Bu and Lu Jia were forced out this time." , I can't ignore Ji Bu, they just want to force Chao Cuo away, maybe even kill Chao Cuo."

Liu Chang squinted his eyes, and seemed to know all about these things.

"You go back, the Northern Army will practice more, if they continue to test, then help them gild."

Lu Tazhi bid farewell to this place.

Liu Chang immediately sent Lu Lu to escort Chao Cuo here. When Liu Chang drove Chao Cuo out of the temple, he was actually protecting him, because Chao Cuo always danced on the bottom line of those powerful people. Liu Jing, Liu Jing has offended so many people and is still alive.

Because he is also the founding minister, he has the same experience as them, even better, he can handle it, but Chao Cuo is still young, the same age as their son and grandson, where is their opponent, even in terms of policy, He has very, very outstanding talents, but in terms of intrigue, he is a younger brother.

But this time, Liu Chang could no longer drive Chao Cuo out of the temple, because many of the temple's policies now need this guy to help him implement them. Without him, many of Liu Chang's ideas would become empty talk and could not be carried out.

The soldiers escorted Chao Cuo into the Hall of Houde. Liu Chang asked the soldiers to let him go, leaving only Chao Cuo, and the others left.

Chao Cuo's expression changed, from grief and indignation just now to joy, he grinned and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, these people can't sit still in a hurry."

"Restructuring from the assessment is indeed correct. It just hits their famous family. In the future, the rich and powerful will no longer be able to control the official rank. As long as there are enough officials and schools, as long as the court lieutenant is still a stubborn donkey like Zhang Shizhi , then the bottom will have a chance to stand out. The top and bottom will not be fixed."

Liu Chang pursed his lips, "You should think about yourself, you have seen the anger of the ministers today, and now they are no longer at loggerheads with you, maybe one day, the assassins will come to kill you."

"Hahaha, Your Majesty's embroidered clothes are with me all day long, so why are you afraid of assassins? These people are old and are not my opponents at all. Don't worry, Your Majesty. Just today, I took advantage of them to fight When it was time, I punched the crowd hard!!"

Chao Cuo gestured, and said happily: "Not only did they not hurt me, but they suffered a disadvantage. Your Majesty only needs to deal with Ji Yushi well, and I will handle the rest by myself!"

Liu Chang looked at him blankly, and even Chao Cuo was stared at a little nervously.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's okay, stay away from the Northern Army camp in the future."

"Why is this?"

"Because I'm a person who tends to slip up when I'm drinking. Anyway, it's not bad for you to stay away from the Northern Army camp."

"Ci, don't run around!"

"I know!!"

"Don't fight with people!"

"Second brother, I will definitely listen to you, so stop talking!"

"Don't spit on others, don't take off your pants on the road, don't"

Liu Bo chattered to Liu Ci with worry on his face. Today, Yong'e taught him an almost impossible task. When he went to Taixue, he took his younger brother with him. Leaving the palace, isn't this letting the tiger go back to the mountain?

Yong'e also has her own opinion. This son is incompetent, ignorant, and wants to go out to play all day long, and she is afraid that he will sneak out. In the end, she chooses to let Liu Bo take the child to Taixue, hoping that Liu Ci can feel too much. The atmosphere in the school, as long as there is a little thought to study, Yong'e is satisfied.

Yong'e thought well, but Liu Bo suffered.

Liu Bo's face turned dark when he saw this guy's attire. This guy was wearing a wooden armor, carrying a bow and arrow, and got into his special small chariot. How could this be going to the Imperial Academy? Go to the battlefield! !

After finally helping him change his clothes, he still looked eager to try.

Liu Bo was worried, and held his younger brother's hand firmly, walking all the way towards Taixue. Along the way, he kept admonishing his younger brother. Liu Ci couldn't help but want to curse several times, but he was It was the first time to go out, and I was afraid that my brother would not take him with me in the future, so I could only endure it.

After finally arriving outside Taixue, the two princes came to welcome Liu Bo.

Aqi and Jiapaluo, these two mortal enemies who are like water and fire, came to greet them together helplessly. Liu Bo greeted them, and Liu Ci looked at them curiously. Because of the problem of speech ability, Aqi smiled Hehe chatted with Liu Bo, but Japallo just watched them chatting anxiously.

He has been working hard to learn Yayan, but he only knows a little bit of spoken language after learning it. He noticed the doll beside him, which looked somewhat similar to Liu Bo, which made his eyes light up, and he immediately hugged the child.

"Xiao Wang? Xiao Wang?"

He asked in bad polite words, but Liu Ci, who was about to spit in his face, stopped his behavior when he heard it, and asked curiously, "You don't know how to speak polite words?"

"No, just a little bit."

"Haha, that's great. Do you want to learn? I can teach you. I'm good at speaking. I can say it when I'm two years old. I'll teach you!"

Gapallo also understood a small part, and said with a smile: "Learn, learn."

"Okay, listen, hello, it's greetings, greetings in elegant words, to your mother. Follow me, to your mother! The tone should be more fierce, this is greetings in elegant words, do you know? When you arrive at someone, just greet them like this.”

"Crack~~"

Liu Bo patted him on the head, hurriedly picked him up from Japalo's arms, and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, my younger brother has been naughty since childhood, so I'm really sorry."

"Oh? This one too?"

"This is my fourth brother, called Ci."

"I am the third child!"

Liu Ci cried out reluctantly.

Liu Bo glared at him, but Ah Qi just praised against his will: "It's really cute, and I think it will be a wise king!"

"Haha, you are a person who can speak human language, that's right, I will be a virtuous king in the future!!"

Just when Liu Bo was helpless, Zhou Sheng also came here reluctantly, followed by a few sages, who reluctantly sent Zhou Sheng here, and when they saw Liu Bo, they also rushed to pay respects. At this time, Liu Ci also jumped down, looked at the older child in front of him, and looked at him.

"Who are you?"

"Father, Xiting Guo Taiwei Xiahouzao! I am Xiahouci!"

"Heh, my father, Emperor Liu Chang, I am Liu Ci. How can you be called Ci? You have to change your name today!!"

"You're younger than me, you obviously stole my name! Let me tell you, my father is eight feet tall!"

"Oh, only eight feet? My father is ten feet tall!!"

"My father can eat a sheep for a meal!"

"My father can eat a cow in one meal, and my father's appetite is the biggest meal for a big man!!"

"You're talking nonsense!! My father is the idiot!!"
