Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 567 Not Like His Father
"Duke Chao!!!"

Although Liu An didn't dare to approach Ting Wei, his family members could come, Ju Meng and Zhang Fu couldn't come, they would easily cause accidents, but Feng Tang and Mao Chang didn't care.

Feng Tang is old and highly respected. Although Zhang Shizhi is a little unfriendly to people, he is not to the extent of embarrassing the old man. As for Mao Chang, he has never committed any crime in his life and has a very good reputation. Zhang Shizhi The first is to catch him to gain fame, but I'm afraid he won't be able to.

He also has an uncle who is a great Confucian in Taixue. Zhang Shizhi still respects these old masters, especially those who can have an impact on today's jurisprudence, the revision and improvement of the laws of the world today. It must be passed by Ting Wei, but many drafting ideas of the law still need these everyone to take action.

In fact, not only Legalism, but Confucianism and other schools of thought have their own special interpretations of the law, especially Huang Lao. The severe punishment of the Confucianism is lighter, for example, the enlightenment of Confucianism is heavier, which is very balanced.

Zhang Shizhi loves these classics about the law. In the eyes of hundreds of schools, the law is not bound to legalism. Any school of thought has its own understanding of the law. Some people think that the law is to punish criminals, while others Some people think it is to educate criminals, some people think it is to restrain the people, and some people think it is to restrain the community.

Although Liu An is very talented and learned, but because of his special status, he became fat in Zhang Shizhi's eyes. He used it to strengthen the law and warned everyone to obey the law. what about you?

Feng Tang and Mao Chang specially came to welcome Chao Cuo. Chao Cuo looked very bad-faced. He didn't want to leave Ting Wei at the moment. The prince publicized everywhere that he drafted the assessment system according to his own ideas, but that system, Chao Cuo felt horrified when he heard that, is this thing in his own name? ?

Then my reputation in this life is ruined, what else am I going to do? ?

But the young Mao Chang didn't realize this. He greeted Chao Cuo with a smile, and greeted Chao Cuo, "Mr. Chao, we were sent by His Highness to welcome you. If it wasn't for you this time, His Highness would not The method is so successful, during your time in prison, His Highness has already started the assessment, and you will soon get a large number of outstanding talents!!"

The corner of Chao Cuo's mouth twitched, his expression inexplicably sad and indignant.

The father and son are really one more than the other, one is to take away his good policies and put his name on it, His Majesty has taken away many of his policies and implemented them in his own name, of course, Chao Cuo is It doesn't matter, as long as it can be used, anyway, my enemies know who made it, and they dare not underestimate their own.

But His Royal Highness's release of his own bad policy on his own head is really a bit too much, even more than His Majesty, His Majesty would not do such a thing! !
This is using yourself as a scapegoat, and it is humiliating your own reputation! !

The more Chao Cuo thought about it, the more sad and indignant he became, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He pursed his lips, looked at the smiling Mao Chang, and remained silent.

After all, Feng Tang had experience, and he could tell at a glance that Chao Cuo's expression was not quite right, so he asked Mao Chang to drive for them, but he invited him into the car and sat next to him.

"Mr. Chao, I don't think these policies seem to be written by you."

Hearing a sentence suddenly, Chao Cuo hurriedly turned his head and stared at Feng Tang, "This is clearly His Highness's own idea!! Most of these policies are based on strange plans. In the whole big man, only two people acted on strange plans. One is Qu Nihou, and the other is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Although Qu Nihou doesn't like me, there is no need to frame me like this. Besides, he is still busy with business and poisoning. He is still seriously ill. How could he participate in the assessment? This is what His Highness thinks. It has nothing to do with me at all!!"

Feng Tang was taken aback, and asked suspiciously: "Didn't you let those scumbags spread the word?"

"It's been passed on. But they're just passing it on indiscriminately!"

"I said Yang Zhu, they said it was raising pigs, I said strong talent, they said it was robbing money, I said they were in the same room, they said it was the same room!! This group of improper people, don't let me meet them again!!"

Chao Cuo gritted his teeth, he couldn't even imagine what this policy, which was passed down by word of mouth, would turn into in the end.

Mao Chang was stunned, but Feng Tang said thoughtfully: "However, His Highness has explained all these. He believes that raising pigs is to weed out the rich and powerful, robbing money is to weed out big businessmen, and being in the same room is to make them sincere. Cooperation, and also arranged various arrangements, even Lu Gong was amazed."

Chao Cuo was taken aback, touched his chin and pondered for a moment, "If you say so, then it's okay, it won't be too bad."

Feng Tang's eyes lit up, he hurriedly looked at Chao Cuo, and said very seriously: "Mr. Chao, there is one thing, I wonder if I can ask you to help me?"

"I don't know you well, how can I help you?"

There is no tradition of respecting the elderly in Chao Cuo's place, and ordinary etiquette is meaningless to him, and his attitude is very indifferent.

Feng Tang was not angry, he continued: "When you see His Highness the Crown Prince, you will admit that these are all proposed by you, is that okay?"

"No! I always say one thing. If I played it, I will never shirk it. I didn't do it, and I will never take credit for it. If His Highness did it unintentionally, then I will definitely let him know!"

Feng Tang let out a long sigh, and said slowly: "Previously, His Majesty was seriously ill, and the Crown Prince was ordered in danger, but because of his young age and lack of experience, His Highness did not do very well. This is a great blow to His Highness."

"In the days that followed, I could clearly feel that His Highness was restrained. He has read many books. He has read more books than the old man has read in his life. He knows everything. But he was very afraid, afraid that he would make another mistake and fail His Majesty once again."

"But he was eager to prove himself in front of His Majesty. His Majesty's talent is enough to make anyone fearful. The more His Majesty is anxious to prove himself, the more he is afraid of making mistakes. He clearly knows what to do, but he dare not do it. .”

"His Royal Highness used his own way to understand the message this time, and came up with a very good method, but he is not confident enough. You are a capable person. He trusts you, gets confidence from you, and then uses his own ideas. come to formulate policy."

"I hope you can admit that this is your own idea, and tell the prince the truth when the matter is a big success. At that time, the prince will understand that he himself can come up with a policy that is not weaker than yours. You will understand how much potential is hidden in his body."

"Everyone in the world marvels at his talent and learning, thinking that he will be the next sage of Huang Lao. It is a pity that this sage is currently in serious self-doubt, and he has not been able to go one step ahead. If this time, he can let him Thoroughly open the knot, his knowledge, his ability, will be as people say."

"In the clan, a sage is about to appear."

Listening to Feng Tang's words, Mao Chang couldn't help but said: "Your Highness hasn't gone out for a long time, and his friends are still messing around, but His Highness locks himself up all day, reading, thinking about countermeasures, Brainstorming to do something really big."

"Duke Chao, Your Highness is the future heir of the great man. If you are wronged now, you can let the man have a more outstanding heir, then why don't you do so?"

Chao Cuo frowned and pondered for a long time.

Feng Tang's expression was no longer serious, and he said with a smile: "If you agree to this matter, I will definitely find a chance in the future, and use this crutch to hit Zhang Shizhi hard on the head!"

"And Shen Tujia!"

"it is good!"

"Then I agree."

Chao Cuo said reluctantly, but Feng Tang still smiled. When Chao Cuo hesitated, Feng Tang knew that he agreed, and what he said later was just to give this lonely young man a step down, after all , Chao Cuo will not help others.

When they came to the prince's mansion, Liu An came out to greet them in person. The prince's attitude still changed a lot. He personally helped Chao Cuo get off the car. After Feng Tang's words, Chao Cuo suddenly discovered many things that he had never seen before. Noticed.

It seems that the prince hasn't gone out to make trouble for a long time, and he hasn't committed any crimes for a long time. His eye sockets are slightly swollen, and his expression is a little tired. He desperately wants to be recognized, but because of the failure last time, he has no confidence in his ability. With self-denial.

Chao Cuo said calmly: "Your Highness can easily understand my words and make a policy, which is very good. However, I have been imprisoned in Ting Wei for so long, but His Highness has never thought of rescue. Could it be that I will take away my Your Highness's work?"

Liu An hastily explained: "That's not the case. It's really that Zhang Shizhi is too difficult to deal with. I really dare not approach Ting Wei."

"Your Highness is the crown prince, why are you afraid of Zhang Shizhi? If you want to kill him, can anyone stop you?"

Chao Cuo was very angry, he didn't understand, why couldn't this prince learn from his father?When His Majesty was at the age of the crown prince, he had already led his men and horses to attack the Huns, not to mention the Tingwei, even the Huns Shanyu couldn't stop him, and he chased him all over the place.

How could such an arrogant and domineering person give birth to such a good child? ?You have to follow the rules in everything. Can you still be a good emperor if you can follow the rules?
Liu An smiled wryly, "If I were the Son of Heaven, I would not have to be afraid, but now I am only the Crown Prince, and he is deeply loved by my father."

"Is there no way, Your Highness, to deal with him?"

"Yes, but I can't do that. Zhang Shizhi doesn't have any personal enmity with me. He just wants to strengthen the authority of the law through me for the sake of the law. I know the importance of the law. This is fundamental. , Now it’s only a matter of suffering a few losses, but the law can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and I’m willing to do that.”

Chao Cuo narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Liu An invited him into the hall and asked for advice humbly, but the strange thing was that no matter how Liu An asked, Chao Cuo was unwilling to answer him, but just put on a very angry look and asked rhetorically.

"I have already done the test questions for the assessment, but I don't know if the level is too high. I have collected difficult cases from all over the world. I am afraid that they are young and have no ability to answer them. Do you think this is appropriate?"

"What? Do you still need to ask me about such a simple thing? Didn't I say everything? The formulation of the assessment should be based on the overall situation!"

Liu An thought for a moment, and replied thoughtfully: "You mean, let me ignore these test questions and candidates, but focus on the impact and effect of policies on the Han Temple?? You are right, this kind of Things can be done by officials, what I need to do is the overall big thing."

Chao Cuo didn't answer, but kept asking back, but Liu An "understood" Chao Cuo's thoughts one after another, which made Liu An admire Chao Cuo.

Feng Tang sat on the side, looking at the domineering Chao Cuo, the more he looked at him, the more pleasing he was.

This young man is not bad.

Inside the Hall of Houde, Liu Chang was chomping on meat, his hands were oily, and his whole body was also oily. It had reached the point where Empress Lu would have to be beaten when he saw it. He looked very cruel eating meat. Grabbing the meat with one hand, he tore it open and swallowed it, like a hungry wolf.

Compared with him, Xiongnu Shanyu was considered well-bred, and Fuyu savages were all gentle and refined compared to him.

Standing in front of Liu Chang, Liu Zhang was telling in detail what happened in the near future.

Liu Zhang, who masters embroidered clothes, is extremely low-key in Chang'an on weekdays, but in recent years, the strength of embroidered clothes behind the scenes has increased to an unprecedented level. Embroidered clothes have contact points in various places, and the main contact point is called Wudinglou .

They have secret personnel all over the place. These people will not reveal their embroidered identities. There are spies who wear beautiful embroidered clothes, and there are also these spies who mix in all walks of life. Embroidered clothes have successfully expanded their influence to Yan, South Vietnam, In Bashu and other places, only Xiting, Beiting, and some areas such as Dian Kingdom are not enough for embroidery.

In the rest of the place, Xiuyi watches over everything.

"Chao Cuo passed the news to the crown prince through those dudes. The crown prince prepared a letter and informed Lu Jia."

"Chao Cuo's suggestion???"

Liu Chang dropped the meat in his hand, took the letter, and looked it over carefully. After reading it for a while, Liu Chang shook his head disdainfully, "No, no, this is not Chao Cuo's style, your people said No, this is not Chao Cuo's suggestion."

Liu Zhang was taken aback, and said firmly: "Anyway, those dandies told the prince, if it wasn't Chao Cuo, then it was those dandies."

"Haha, how many children are you talking about? Can they have such a brain??"

Liu Chang shook his head, "This style is definitely not Chao Cuo's."

"Whose else could it be?"

"If no one can come up with, it must be Chen Ping's!!"

Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment, before he said: "But for the past few days, Marquis Chen has been traveling by car with Marquis Huaiyin, hunting, drinking, and has never come into contact with those dudes."

"What?? The two of them went out to play and didn't call me?? Such an important matter, why didn't you say it earlier?!"

Liu Chang suddenly felt that the meat in front of him had no fragrance.

Liu Zhang hurriedly said: "I told Father Zhong earlier, it was Father Zhong who said that there is no need to pay attention to the Marquis of Huaiyin."

Liu Chang was a little angry, he stood up, and scolded: "These two old men, they don't do their jobs properly, and they don't do so many things while they are poisoned. Instead, they go outing and hunting, and drink and eat meat. How decent are they? I am a big man! Hou, are they all so obsessed with wealth?!"

"When a man is alive, he wants to do great things, how can he be so addicted to enjoyment!!"

Liu Zhang glanced at the wine and meat in front of Zhongfu, and said falteringly; "But they have already made great achievements."

"Fart! Can their actions be greater than mine? At my age, they are all diligent and diligent. One of them is only sixty years old, and the other is only half a century old. How can they go out and play?"

"Forget it, you go out, don't stare at Chao Cuo, send more people to watch Hexi and Jiaodong, these two sticklers are the least reassuring."

"only!!"

After Liu Zhang was sent away, Lu Lu just walked in. Although Liu Zhang said that Lu Lu did not need to avoid him, every time Liu Zhang came in, Lu Lu would still wait outside, mainly because of his special status. , easy to embarrass, such as when Liu Zhang reported the situation of the Lu family.
"Lu, what kind of Baicheng king, hasn't he reached the big man yet?"

"Your Majesty, the distance between the two countries is extremely far away, not to mention that he has to take Pingyanghou with him and take a long way to come. I'm afraid he will have to wait for a long time."

Liu Chang looked at the bones in front of him, and sighed, "It's been so long, it's a pity, these bones are very good."

As we all know, the elder master has always used bones to conduct diplomacy with outsiders. When meeting, he will perform a unique skill for the other party, breaking a big bone with his bare hands. The general foreign king basically kneels when he sees this unique skill. If he can break a cow's bone with his bare hands, he can naturally break their bones.

Liu Chang asked people to take the bone away, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and made it a little clean, before he said: "Lu, you can accompany me to Shangfang later, there are some good things, I am going to let you In charge of sales, I have thought of a lot of industries for you, and your bank has started to make profits, right?"

"I still have a lot of money-making businesses here. We all have to try one by one. If you want to start a business, you still have to go to the temple to drive other big merchants, otherwise they don't know what to do at all. You see, all the merchants are starting now. If you are in the textile business, you can only earn a little money with this thing. I have no vision."

"I will lead you to earn a lot of money!!"

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you earn money or not, it's the money you borrowed from me when you drank in Dongshi the day before yesterday."

"Oh, now that you said that, I remembered that Mrs. Fan wrote a letter to me, saying that his place is rich in materials and manpower, but the construction is a bit slow, and that I asked you if I could lend him some money. For construction, you give him [-] million yuan, and after the completion, you will be named Prime Minister, how about it?"

"."

ps: I rented a nice house, although it is not big, but it is very clean. I will see if I can buy a house nearby in the future. Since then, I am a Tianjin native and the time difference is finally the same as yours. It can be updated stably.
