Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 548 When did you write Huainanzi?

Chapter 548 When did you write Huainanzi?

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Lu Lu followed Liu Chang blankly. Since His Majesty went to the pier, he has become a little absent-minded and looks a little dull. Is that monkey that can sail a boat so shocking?

"It's okay, I just didn't think of it."

Liu Chang shook his head. He always thought that the fourth brother was the most stable among the brothers, but he never thought that when the other brothers were just rectifying the army and intimidating the territory, the fourth brother's army had already moved at the fastest speed. He touched Chang'an at a very fast speed, General Zhou Shengzhi of the Louchuan Army was moved by what he said, and set off towards Chang'an in the name of the Louchuan Army. Not only did he not attract anyone's attention, he even used the warships of the Louchuan Army to transport his soldiers

The fourth brother is a person who doesn't move at all, it's amazing when he moves.

Fortunately, he is still sensible, otherwise, tonight, the northern army led by Zhou Yafu will fight against the Wu army who suddenly attacked, and restore the chaos of the kings.

Liu Chang thought a lot, and the most important thing was of course guilt. For the first time, he understood the importance of himself to the big man. If such a huge empire lacks the backbone that can suppress everyone, it will fall apart in a moment. This is his What I have never thought about before is that the current situation of Dahan is unstable. Behind the seemingly prosperous situation, there are many contradictions. There are too many flaws in the current system.

Many parties lack the key to check and balance each other. The current situation is very similar to that of the first emperor. When the emperor was still in power, he could use his prestige to suppress everyone. No matter whether it was the old nobles or the new forces, no one dared to move. , but once the powerful emperor is gone and the successor can't replace the old emperor, then the problem will be big.

However, Liu Chang is not worried at the moment. Liu An is not like Hu Hai, and since he has noticed this problem, he will definitely start to solve it.

Liu Chang originally thought that the problem of the princes and kings would be resolved quickly through the Tweeting Order, but in these years, because of Liu Chang's militarism, the great Han took the princes and kings as the forerunner and expanded everywhere, causing the power of the princes to increase sharply. There is an absolute disadvantage to the temple, but if they unite, it will be a big trouble. From this point of view, it is not unreasonable for Chao Cuo to cry every day to cut down the feudal clan.

In the hands of Liu Chang, the vassal states are sharp swords, conquering everywhere, opening up territories for the great Han, paying huge amounts of taxes every year, and effectively governing those remote areas for the great Han, but if Liu Chang is gone, this sharp sword will be destroyed at any time. There is a possibility of cutting to the temple.

Liu Chang stroked his chin, his mind was full of problems that should be solved now.

Liu Chang was supposed to return to the palace, but for some reason, when he realized it, he appeared in front of Chen Ping's mansion.

"Huh? How did you bring me here?"

Lu Lu turned around, "Didn't you say you want to relax and think of a way?"

"Your Majesty usually comes here to relax and think of ways in the outer city."

Liu Chang was very displeased, "What are you talking about! I have always done it myself, why did I ever need to ask others for advice?"

"Then shall we go back to the palace?"

"No, it's already here, so let's pay a visit to Qu Nihou."

What Liu Chang said was always different from what he himself did. Lu Lu was also used to this, and he didn't have any intention of complaining at all. Liu Chang jumped out of the carriage and asked people to knock on the door. He waited outside the door with.

Soon, some retainers opened the door, and when they saw the emperor, they hurriedly saluted and shouted for the people in the mansion to come and greet him.

There was no one in Chenhou's family who didn't know the emperor, and they were all old acquaintances.

Liu Chang swaggered into the mansion, looked around, seemed to be searching for something, Chen Ping, who was sitting in the courtyard, said, "Don't look, the poultry in the courtyard is gone."

Liu Chang laughed, and sat in front of Chen Ping with a smile, "Why don't you keep a few, I'm so embarrassed to come here empty-handed."

The corners of Chen Ping's mouth twitched, "Every time your Majesty comes here, you will grab one or two and give it to me. This last one is also given to me by Your Majesty. If you eat it together, there is nothing left. If the grandson wants to eat some meat, he has to buy it from outside."

"By the way, what about that vertical stick?"

"He is sleeping."

"Oh"

Liu Chang nodded and sat quietly. Chen Ping seemed to be admiring the sky. There were many strange herbs in front of him. It looks quite free and easy, like a fairy.

"When did you find Marquis Ruyin?"

Liu Chang asked suddenly.

"Why did I go to him, maybe he came to me."

"Hahaha, Marquis Ruyin and the others have never been on good terms with you. Unless you deliberately get close, he will never take the initiative to come to you."

"On the day before His Majesty came back, I sent someone to his mansion and invited him to come and talk in detail."

Liu Chang was amazed. Sure enough, his speculation was correct. Xia Houying was sent by Chen Ping to watch over Han Xin. On the one hand, it was to protect Han Xin from being persecuted by outsiders, and on the other hand, it was to prevent Han Xin from rebelling. In the end, Xia Houying was even asked to visit Zhang Xiang to carry out this matter in the name of Zhang Xiang. If something happened in the end, it would be Zhang Xiang's fault and had nothing to do with him.

"I understand more and more why my father always takes you with me wherever he goes, even if he goes to battle, he always wants to accompany you."

Chen Ping did not speak, and asked calmly: "Your Majesty came to find me, not just for this matter?"

In this matter, Chen Ping really does not have to worry. There is nothing wrong with what he did. Even if outsiders find out, no one can blame him. In fact, this counselor is a loyal minister. When Chan and Lu took control of the temple and were about to change the surname of Tianxia, ​​this counselor took the initiative to put down his arrogance and made friends with Zhou Bo, Xia Houying, Guan Ying and others who were always keen to slander him, and then designed to take Tianxia back. I just retired and returned home.

These people are actually loyal ministers. They are loyal to the Liu family. Although the act of killing the second brother's heir is too cruel, Liu Chang can still understand their thoughts. Under that situation, they dare not leave any more Hidden danger.

"I came here to complain to Father Zhong."

"Father Zhong, with this disease, the big man almost died. After thinking about it, it's all the fault of Father and Prime Minister Xiao!"

"The system they set up has too many hidden dangers. Once something happens to the emperor, the world will be in chaos. After the death of my father, it is because of me that the world can be stable. But there may not be another person like me in thousands of years. I'm dead, what should I do in this world?"

Chen Ping really did not expect that Emperor Gao and Marquis Feng had passed away for so many years, yet they could still be blamed by the emperor.

You really can't see the reason for yourself at all!

Chen Ping reminded: "Your Majesty has done a lot of things over the years. The number of officials in the central government departments has continued to increase, and their functions and powers have overlapped. There is no clear distinction. The princes are in the hands of Your Majesty. It is flourishing day by day, the princes and kings are expanding their territories, they are arrogant, the generals in the army are arrogant and domineering, and the ministers of the court and China are fighting with each other, all because of His Majesty's connivance and disdain."

"Then how to solve these problems?"

"On the one hand, it is to check and balance the forces in the court, to share power, and not to make one family dominate. At the same time, to improve the inheritance system and power structure of the temple, and to strengthen the power of the prince. Facing the situation in the world, the power of the prince It is too weak and should be strengthened reasonably."

"For the vassal states, your Majesty can take the method of strengthening the power of the princes and weakening the power of the princes and kings. Although the rotation of the previous states has effectively avoided the situation that the vassal states are independent, it can greatly weaken the phase. Your Majesty must strengthen the princes appropriately. The power of the ministers of the country, as a means of restricting the princes and kings."

Chen Ping had a lot of ideas, and while drinking tea, he explained them to Liu Chang seriously.

In fact, many veterans have the same idea. They followed Emperor Gao to build this world. No one wants to see this world collapse. After Liu Chang became seriously ill, these people were the first to think of ways to come. Save the big man.

When Liu Chang came out of Chen Ping's mansion, the sun had not yet set.

In fact, Chen Ping hadn't finished speaking, but Liu Chang didn't want to disturb him anymore. Chen Ping's body seemed to be getting weaker and weaker. With the knowledge in his dream, Liu Chang felt that it was probably similar to a tension headache. Migraine, anyway, is a similar symptom. Unfortunately, this kind of disease is still difficult to treat in this era. Even Liu Chang is a little helpless. He can't make medicines, and he can't diagnose Chen Ping.

What's more, at Chen Ping's age, when the imperial physicians were making medicine, they dared not give him too strong medicinal materials, for fear that something would happen to him.

Liu Chang didn't want to cause his headaches again.

When he returned to Houde Hall, Cao Shu was waiting for him.

"Your Majesty's illness is still not fully recovered, where did this go?!"

Cao Shu frowned and helped Liu Chang change his clothes. Cao Shu's performance in this crisis was not very good, but there was no way to do it. No one can do the best at the beginning. As the harem ruler , the gap between Cao Shu and the queen mother is still very large. Although she has the title of virtuous queen, she is not like the queen mother who has experienced so many storms and fought against so many masters. .

Liu Chang didn't blame him for concealing the news of his accident. How should I put it, there are advantages and disadvantages. To be able to make a decision is already considered very courageous.

"Ann is not in a good mood recently, a little depressed"

"I know, I've already told him, so don't worry."

The two were chatting when someone rushed in.

"Father!!"

The person who came was Bo, and if you want to say that you still need these scorpions, you will forget about it quickly. They probably forgot about Liu Chang’s illness before. Living the life of the past, without even realizing how dangerous the original situation was.

Liu Bo threw himself into Liu Chang's arms, holding a piece of paper in his hand, his face flushed with excitement.

"Father, someone wrote me a letter!"

"Oh? Write a letter, who wrote it to you?"

"It's my Prime Minister!"

This is the first time Liu Bo has received a letter, and it is still such a formal letter. Although his personality is relatively reserved, he is also very excited. He can't help showing off to his father. Liu Chang took the letter curiously, read it, This is a letter from Liu Buhui from Daiguo to Liu Bo. In the letter, he reported the changes in Daiguo's army in the near future, explained the reason, and then admitted his mistake and acted without the king's order. .

Liu Chang sneered and scolded: "Liu will not harm this guy, he has become a captain, and he still can't get rid of his pettiness!"

Cao Shu asked in surprise, "That guard you used to?"

"That's right, he wrote a letter specifically to plead guilty to Bo, but it was actually for me to read. I won't punish him. Why do you think he should be so afraid?"

Liu Chang handed the letter to Bo, and said earnestly, "Reply to him later, and tell him not to obey the orders of other princes in the future, otherwise his head will be beheaded!"

Cao Shu shouted displeasedly: "Your Majesty!!"

"Ahem, okay, don't add the last sentence."

Liu Chang rubbed Liu Bo's head, and asked with a smile, "How is your studies recently?"

"It's not very good. Those classmates of mine don't have any intention of studying. They always come to me while shouting to punish the rebels. The teacher specially arranged a few classmates to protect me and not allow others to approach."

Liu Chang said with emotion: "It seems that I have to find time to go to Taixue."

"Your Majesty hasn't fully recovered yet, so let's rest for a few days. The situation in various places is improving. Your Majesty doesn't need to be so anxious."

"I know I know."

That night, Liu Chang held a family banquet. Except for Liu Ying, who was unable to come due to physical reasons, everyone else was present, including the Queen Mother. This was also a celebration of Liu Chang's recovery. , Liu Ci and Liu Liang sat next to her, enjoying themselves, Liu Chang sat with Liu An and Liu Bo, and Cao Shu and Fan Qing sat opposite.

"Mother, I want to eat meat!!"

"Okay, okay, eat meat."

"Auntie, last night Auntie beat me up again. I said I would tell Auntie, but she said she was not afraid of you!"

Liu Ci ate the meat, and angrily told Empress Lu what had happened to him. Empress Lu looked at him with a smile and complained, and rubbed his head from time to time. The youngest would always be the most favored. Liu Liang and Liu Ci Ci is enjoying this treatment now, and when they get older, this treatment will have to be given to their younger sister.

"Why did your mother beat you up?"

"I spit in Wang Sheng's face."

Empress Lu patted his head lightly, "This child, how can you call your teacher a student? If you want to call him a prince, how can you spit at him?"

"It was he who scolded my father first, and said a lot of words, which I didn't understand, and then called my father a villain. I wanted to beat him, but I couldn't beat him, and then I spit."

"The prince doesn't seem to be able to scold people, does he?"

Empress Lu was a little surprised, and Liu Liang, who was on the side, said honestly: "Mother, the teacher said that my father put himself in danger and gave up the body of a gentleman to save my life. , It’s a disaster for millions of idiots, this is not a gentleman’s trip, and then the fourth brother said that the teacher scolded my father for not being a gentleman, but a villain, so I went up to beat him.”

There are rules in the family education of the big Han. Generally speaking, it is the parents who are responsible for correcting and reprimanding, while the elder parents are responsible for pampering. Han people generally do not respect parents who show too much love for their children, because the atmosphere at that time was Be strict with children. As for grandchildren, there are no requirements. It is his parents' job to educate him to be a man. I have already educated his parents, so why should I continue to educate him?

Therefore, the old man's love for his grandson's generation is quite high, which later became the mainstream of Chinese-style families and lasted for a long time.

Yong'e also had a headache at the moment, telling her troubles to her two sisters.

"Liang is well-behaved and sensible, that's the gift. Lawless, beat and scold, but can't change, cause trouble everywhere"

Fan Qing expressed her opinion, "The boss was also very naughty at first, but my mother beat me all day, didn't I change it in the end? I still didn't beat enough!"

Cao Shu said seriously: "Ci is not a villain who bullies the weak, and the method of educating children depends on the method. He has an active personality and doesn't like rules, but he is still very filial. When something happens to His Majesty, how long does he cry? Pay attention to the method, since he doesn't like reading, don't force him, let him do more things he likes, let him practice martial arts, tell him more about the principles of life, don't just beat and scold him"

Mama Cao, who has rich experience in teaching children, has a lot of skills in this field.

As for Liu Chang, he was bragging to Liu An at the moment.

"Do you still remember what I told you that we live on a sphere? Let me tell you in detail, we live on a sphere, and because of gravity, we won't fall down. So what is gravity?"

"Also, the sun and the moon are both spherical. The moon revolves around our earth, and the earth revolves around the sun. At the same time, the earth also rotates. This is day and night. There are also reasons for the four seasons”

"Actually, there are many planets outside of us, do you know that?"

Liu Chang drank some wine, his face flushed, and he pulled Liu An to start talking. Liu An was dumbfounded, and his father was destroying his world view every day.

"Speaking of mechanics, apart from the gravitational force, there is also the fact that all objects always remain at rest or move in a straight line at a uniform speed when there is no force or the resultant force is zero."

"This is Liu Chang's first law, you know it?"

"And Liu Chang's second law."

Liu Chang mixed everything he knew together, narrating to his heart's content, without following common sense, one moment was astronomy, another moment was physics, and the next moment he jumped to chemistry, what oxygen, Liu Chang's periodic table of elements, then In the end, even in terms of literature and philosophy, Liu Chang casually uttered a few lines of Yuefu poems, which are more complete and excellent than the Yuefu poems that have just started, Liu An was so shocked that he was speechless .

Liu An was scratching his head in anxiety, with countless questions in his mind.

"What are you in a hurry for? The knowledge I have here is enough for you to learn for a lifetime. With this knowledge as a foundation, the various systems of the big man can be perfected. By the way, your book will also be written even better. You When will you write Huainanzi?"

"Ah? Father, what Huainanzi???"

Liu An asked again, but Liu Chang was already drunk and unconscious.
