Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 784

"I heard that you are going to Dai Kingdom. As an elder, I naturally have to come and see you."

Zhao Tuo said with a smile.

Liu Bo lowered his head, but dared not answer.

Regarding Liu Chang's life experience, in fact, many officials have already had a clear guess in their hearts. Even if His Majesty's biological mother is not Zhao Tuo's daughter, she is definitely a close relative, because the appearance of the elder is very similar to his "uncles". Similar, plus this body, it doesn't look like it belongs to the old Liu's family. The old Liu's family doesn't have such a big man. There are quite a few old Zhao's who are sure. Their family has produced many strong generals. Of course, their family In the future, there will be a victorious general full of courage.

However, no one dared to say this clearly, not even Liu Chang's heirs dared to talk about it, only this old man, who was not afraid of trouble, talked about it all day long, and dared to say it in front of Empress Lu .

Of course, Zhao Tuo's status in the Han Dynasty is also extraordinary. He is the first foreign king who surrendered to the Han Dynasty and came to meet the emperor in person. The temple has nothing to do with him. To vent his anger, he was killed. If he was killed, it would have a great impact on the big man, so he had to pretend that he hadn't seen this person.And Liu Chang's children didn't dare to be rude to this man who called himself the emperor's father. Simply put, they didn't admit it, but they didn't deny it either.

"You are going to the Dai Kingdom, and I have nothing to give you now. When you arrive in the Dai Kingdom, there will be people from your own tribe to offer gifts on my behalf."

"The king of Nanyue doesn't have to be like this."

"What's the matter, we're all a family, you're welcome!"

Han Anguo said with a smile: "The king of Nanyue is right. All the princes in the world are ministers of your Majesty, and they should be a family. This is the prince's position. I have never heard of a prince who can offer gifts to him. Usually, the emperor rewards him. It is really inappropriate for the king to offer his subordinates as an offering."

Zhao Tuo was taken aback for a moment, and looked at this unattractive young man.

Han Anguo said again: "Your Majesty has always been known for being brave and brave. The sword on your waist is said to be a treasure that has been followed by His Majesty for decades. He has fought south and north and made illustrious military exploits. Why don't Your Majesty present it with a sword? My Majesty There is also a sword here, which was a gift from His Majesty, and after witnessing many things with His Majesty, although it is not as good as His Majesty's sword, it is also the most beloved thing, wouldn't it be better to give swords to each other?"

Liu Bo frowned, then nodded and looked at Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo laughed, "It's not impossible, it's just that my saber is really unbearable, and I'm afraid that Daiwang will suffer."

Liu Bo hurriedly replied: "I dare not, it is my honor to get your saber."

Zhao Tuo let out a long sigh and said, "That's fine, I'll exchange swords with you today!"

He untied the saber and handed it to Liu Bo, and Liu Bo did the same. He got up and thanked Zhao Tuo. Zhao Tuo talked about his past experiences in various places and his youth when he was young. Everyone listened very seriously.

"In the beginning, I relied on this sharp blade. When I was as old as you, one day, I was suddenly summoned by the general. After I went, I found that the people present were all people who had made achievements in the first place. I'm old, I'm not afraid of him, I despise everyone, then a soldier came, surrounded by a person, do you know who it is? It's the Emperor Qin, he asked us to compete, to know our strength, I will fight with this sword They defeated six people in a row, and those six people are all masters, at worst, they can beat fifty like him!"

Zhao Tuo pointed at Ju Mong beside him, and everyone burst into laughter.

"Later, I started to protect the emperor with me. I said it was the emperor's personal soldier, but in fact, it was in the corridor. No one could approach him with a weapon. He was very cautious. He was probably like today's doctors. I envy me very much, but I think that kind of life is very boring. Later, when it was time to conquer Baiyue, I took the initiative to ask for a general and became a lieutenant general. With a group of capable fighters, naked to the waist, they fought bloody battles with the Baiyue people in the mountains and forests, and they ran all over the mountains and plains with hundreds of people chasing them."

Zhao Tuo's story was so legendary that everyone was fascinated by it.

Even the little princess stopped making trouble. She was sitting aside with snacks at the moment, eating snacks and listening.

"Well, I have done a lot of things in my life, but the only regret is that I have been away from my hometown for a long time. I am sorry for my wife and daughter. Bo, when you go back this time, can you do me a favor?"

"Please order."

"Help me to sacrifice the spirits of ancestors and wives and daughters in the clan, okay?"

Just as Liu Bo was about to agree, Han Anguo said again, "Your Majesty, why is it so troublesome? How about this, when your Majesty departs, wouldn't it be good for you to go with him?"

"I'm old, how can I move in time?"

Ju Mong said with some displeasure: "Why are you always like this? He's getting old, so what if he can do you a favor?"

Han Anguo ignored him, he could beat you from Jumong to a pig's head, tell me you are old? ?

Han Anguo looked at Zhao Tuo and said with a smile: "In this case, please rest assured, my king. When my king returns to the country of Dai, he will definitely visit all the meritorious officials and relatives, and perform sacrifices on their behalf, so that the ancestors can receive the gift."

Zhao Tuo didn't speak any more, just stared at Han Anguo for a few more times, then closed his eyes, but Liu Ye asked his second brother to take him to play.

Liu Bo left behind many retainers, and he led his younger sister and Zhao Tuo out of the mansion.

As soon as they were sent away, Zhu Meng couldn't help but said: "Anguo, I know you love me, but the Nanyue King corrected me a lot and taught me a lot. He is also very old, you shouldn't Targeting him so well, he came to visit the king out of good intentions, but you offended him severely, why is that? You must be magnanimous!"

Han Anguo couldn't bear it anymore, "You guy, do you think I'm venting my anger on you? Why did the king of Nanyue suddenly come to visit the king and give him gifts?"

"Why?"

"Zhending Zhao, Zhending Zhao, let me ask which country you really belong to now?"

"Of course it is Daiguo"

"When Dai Wang arrived in Dai State, Zhending Zhao sent a large number of gifts to the king. What do you think the local government will think? This Nanyue king purely wants to use the king to give power to his clan, and wants the clan to use the name of the king to give himself Putting on a tiger skin, in this way, which of the local officials would dare to provoke them?? So I didn’t let him offer a gift, and he said to go to worship. As soon as the king arrived in Dai Kingdom, he first went to see Zhending Zhao and sacrificed to his ancestors , isn’t it still the same? The king of Nanyue has deep thoughts, and he is definitely not as reckless and straightforward as he seems!”

Ju Mong was stunned, and looked blankly at Han Anguo in front of him, "Really??"

"Your Majesty didn't notice it at first, but after I reminded you, you already understood it in your heart, so you kept your mouth shut. The King of Nanyue didn't say much. Why can't you see through it?"

"me."

Zhu Meng looked at him blankly, and shouted: "Why is this Chang'an person so sinister?!"

Han Anguo raised his head, "I told you a long time ago, Chang'an is a place where talented people from all over the world gather, and no one should underestimate it."

"I don't dare to compete with others anymore. I heard that the king is going to take you to meet his teachers, so you have to be careful."

"It doesn't matter. Although there are many sages in Chang'an, they don't have many local people. Most of them are educated and reasonable. Presumably this place is too learned, and it won't be as chaotic as the local place. After all, it is under the feet of the emperor. Who dares to mess around?"

"Bold and rotten! Did you know your mistakes?!"

"I never knew I was wrong!"

"How dare you speak hard?!"

"Boom~~"

"Now you know your mistake?!"

In Houde Hall, Liu Changzheng was riding on a Confucian scholar, grabbed his head with his hand, and smashed it towards the ground.

Lu Lu's heart trembled when he heard this, and he reminded: "Your Majesty, forget it, if you beat him like this again, I'm afraid you will be beaten to death by him."

Liu Chang grabbed his head again and asked, "Have you ever realized your mistake?"

"I'm not at fault! It's His Majesty's fault!"

The Confucian scholar under Liu Chang's body scolded very hard at this moment: "The Kanyu family is just miscellaneous learning, which is useless to the country. Your Majesty always indulges in these trails and abandons the fundamentals. That Shangfang every year How much money will it cost the big man? If your Majesty uses this money to fund the Taixue, I don’t know how many talents can be cultivated. Now the temple has to spend energy to support a geomancer. This kind of school that can judge Fengshui can also get the temple. Do you pay as much attention to it as you do? This is not something that a wise king can do!"

Liu Chang was out of breath, and pressed his head hard to the ground again.

"You guy, how dare you instigate your fellow disciples to oppose the temple's government orders, and dare to scold me on my head, saying that I am playing with things and losing my mind? You don't understand the principles of governing a country? You want to bring Confucian scholars to eliminate many miscellaneous learnings?"

"good, very good!"

Liu Chang let him go, stood up, looked at Lu Lu who was standing in front of him, and Lu Lu hurriedly persuaded him, "Your Majesty, these are just rotten words, don't do that."

"But how much have these rotten words ruined me? For the sake of his master and ancestors, I have never made things difficult for him. These people are getting more and more excessive. They dare to publicly criticize the temple's decree, write a letter against it, and dare to I talked nonsense in the newspaper and scolded me!"

Zhao Wan slowly got up and looked at Liu Chang firmly, "Your Majesty! This is a small way! Miscellaneous learning is not worth mentioning! I hope Your Majesty will stop playing around and focus on the world's affairs! Don't be fooled by these people! The minister speaks from the bottom of his heart!!"

Liu Chang looked at him and suddenly grinned.

With the development of Confucianism, many societies have emerged in Taixue. The so-called societies are established by Taixue students and teachers who have the same aspirations. Everyone gathers together to communicate and promote each other's studies. It’s nothing, but this Confucianism has fluctuated greatly in the near future. With Dong Zhongshu’s war against hundreds of schools, many Confucianists have become his followers, but their ideas are more radical than Dong Zhongshu’s. Dong Zhongshu claims to stay behind. The branches of hundreds of schools are carried by the big Confucian tree, but the group of Confucian scholars headed by Zhao Wan think that they should be completely eliminated.

They think that things like ink, agriculture, and geomancy are not worth mentioning at all. Only the principles of sages are the most important. Those craftsmen and technologies are even considered by them as means to confuse the king, and they demand to oppose these things. thing.

Everyone didn't feel anything, but Liu Chang was very angry.

Because the development of Confucianism that Liu Chang will see in the future is really different from the current Confucianism. It can be said that the current Confucianism is still a very advanced school, while Huang Lao is conservative. But in the future, this advanced school that values ​​technological development , but gradually became a school that opposes science and technology, only recognizes those dead truths, and constantly explores some boring words. Liu Chang has always been curious about how this change came about. Until now, Liu Chang finally knows its source.

Is this how the co-authorship came about?In order to wipe out the advantages of the other hundred schools over Confucianism, oppose what they are good at, and regard all these things as bad, should not be close to, should not be valued?
When Liu Chang learned that these people had made many comments on Shangfang, Mohism, and Kanyu, Liu Chang was furious, and immediately ordered Zhao Wan to be arrested in his palace, and he was beaten up.

But this Zhao Wan is still stubborn, no matter how much she is beaten, she still feels that she is right.

Lu Lu just felt a headache. At present, there are all kinds of words in Taixue, and more exaggerated remarks than this can be heard often, but I don't know why His Majesty is only so angry at these remarks.

Liu Chang suddenly raised this person with one hand and asked, "Where is the residence of their association?"

"West of town"

"You send someone now."

Liu Chang grabbed this person and left Houde Hall swaggeringly.

Even though he offended the emperor so much, Zhao Wan still firmly believed that he was not at fault. He was thrown into the car by Liu Chang, and then he ran all the way. When Zhao Wan was shaken dizzily, Liu Chang took him Tossed out of the car.

Zhao Wan looked around, but saw several of her classmates and followers.

This is their mansion in the west of the city. Everyone often gathers here to discuss knowledge, and all the members of the association are here. They are still watched by soldiers, and there are students from other schools in the distance who are surprised. Looking around here, there are not many people, Zhao Wan raised her head again, without the slightest fear on her face.

Liu Chang sneered and looked at the people in front of him, "Is it you people who gathered to insult me?"

"I dare not insult His Majesty, I just don't want miscellaneous knowledge to confuse the king!"

Zhao Wan answered the call again.

At this moment, a person came out from among the students, this person was Shen Pei, Shen Pei's face was full of bitterness, he glanced at his disciple, and then saluted Liu Chang.

"Your Majesty, my lax discipline caused my disciple to make such a big mistake, but please spare his life for his young age. I am willing to suffer on his behalf!"

Liu Chang sneered, "Now is not the time to engage in a master-student relationship!"

Liu Chang ignored him and continued to wait. Shen Pei didn't know what he was waiting for. After a long time, he saw a group of people coming up. Lu Lu led them to the front. The person who came was Shangfang Mansion. Chen Tao, and many other Mohists.

Seeing these people, Zhao Wan felt full of confidence.

What does His Majesty mean, is he going to have a debate with the Mohists in public?How do these craftsmen of the Mohist know anything?It's just to create some sensational things to confuse the king!Today, these traitors must be smashed in the face in front of everyone! !

Concern appeared on Shen Pei's face, and he looked at the emperor again, "Your Majesty, we have already"

"Mr. Shen. You are still standing here and talking because of your master. Please don't say any more, otherwise, take care of your life!!"

Liu Chang threatened, then looked at the people around, and said loudly: "There are these traitors, dare to gather together to oppose the temple's decree, attack the Mohist family and Kanyu, and insult me! The crime is heinous! Since they feel that the Shangfang Mansion is nothing Useful, then today I will let them compare to see who is more powerful!!"

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Wan immediately raised her head, "Your Majesty! I am willing to debate with Shang Fang!!"

Liu Chang laughed, very kindly.

"Very good. Next, I will give you the proposition for the debate"

Chen Tao stood not far away, with a dazed look on his face. He didn't know what His Majesty was going to do when he suddenly called him here. He felt a headache even more when he thought of what His Majesty asked him to prepare.

Liu Chang pointed to the mansion where they formed an association in front of him, and said, "Destroy this mansion!!"

Zhao Wan was taken aback, "What?"

"I let you act now, destroy this mansion, and make this mansion no longer exist!!"

Zhao Wan was stunned. What kind of proposition is this? I'm not here because I didn't see it?He frowned, but Liu Chang didn't explain further, "My words are already very simple, destroying this mansion, can it be done?"

Zhao Wan hesitated, and looked at the Confucian scholars, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Liu Chang looked at Chen Tao and grinned, "Since you think Shang Fang is useless, let Shang Fang teach you, Chen Tao, destroy this mansion!!"

Chen Tao didn't talk nonsense, he directly led the craftsmen forward, just when everyone thought they were going to smash the mansion with their tools, they began to place black gunpowder in the mansion, and then started to set up fuses.

"Stay far away, farther away! Far away!!"

Chen Tao directed the crowd. Among the crowd, those who knew what it was had already retreated far away, while those who didn't know were still watching curiously.

"Boom~~~~~~"

With a sound like thunder, the walls of the mansion began to collapse, and with a few more violent roars, the ground shook, and the mansion began to shatter in the blink of an eye, disintegrating bit by bit. There was one ruin left, which was really blown up.
Those Confucian scholars stared at this scene dumbfounded, and Zhao Wan was even more unconvinced, "That counts."

"This is Shang Fang's ability. In the future, whoever dares to question Shang Fang and this technology, I will tie gunpowder to him and let him experience Shang Fang's power for himself. You look down on Shang Fang, but what Shang Fang can do, you guys Can you do it? You can be a fart! The most useless people in the world are you people who think highly of themselves and point fingers all day long, and you have the face to say that you are still incompetent?! Chen Tao, go ask them, if Whoever thinks Shang Fang is not enough, let him try Shang Fang's power with gunpowder!"
