Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 821
After Dou Guangguo came to Chang'an, he quickly became the favorite of Liu Chang.

Dou Guangguo's experience was quite tragic. When his family suffered a disaster, he was only a little over four years old. He separated from his family and became a slave. She didn't meet her elder sister until she was 20 years old, but Dou Yifang didn't recognize her younger brother for a long time, she was quite cautious towards him and kept questioning him.

On the other hand, Dou Guangguo accurately stated his life experience with his eldest sister when he was young. You must know that it was all before the age of four, and he could remember it so clearly, even more clearly than Dou Yifang.

Hearing this, Dou Yifang burst into tears immediately, hugging him tightly, unwilling to let go, and everyone on the left and right also cried into a ball.

Knowing this, Liu Heng was also very surprised. On the one hand, he felt that it was not easy for his wife's family to be reunited. On the other hand, he also felt that this kid was really smart.

Liu Heng was worried that these two people had been at the bottom for too long, would develop bad habits, and hurt his reputation, so he specially found someone to teach them.

And Liu Heng also needs help around him because of things like Kaihai. Liu Heng doesn't like people from wealthy families. He strengthened his training, and wanted to use them as his right and left hands, and invited many masters to train them, filling their houses with books.

Dou Guangguo's growth has also become astonishing. He is already smart, and with those painful experiences when he was young, he is much calmer than his peers, and his character has been tempered very well.

I don't seek any wealth, and I am not in a hurry to show myself. I just stayed at home honestly and accumulated more than [-] years.

During this long period of time, he was almost completely transparent, either studying hard at home, or visiting sage teachers everywhere, unlike some foreign relatives who showed off their identities and ran around, and his behavior made Wu Guo not even know that there was something wrong with him. The existence of such a foreign relative.

After so many years of accumulation, Dou Guangguo has completely transformed, and even wrote to Liu Heng, giving some suggestions on opening the sea.

Liu Heng was also taken aback, because Dou Guangguo had been silent for so long that Liu Heng gave up the idea of ​​training him to be his right-hand man.

Liu Heng was surprised to find that his relative could really give him a lot of good advice, and he was even more experienced than other advisers, so he often called him over and asked him to advise him, and Dou Guangguo did not disappoint Liu Heng. With high hopes, he made three strategies for Liu Heng.

The first strategy is about opening the sea. Dou Guangguo asked Liu Heng to send troops to capture this important fulcrum of the maritime commercial road. The port is built here. These strongholds are used to strengthen Wu's control over the sea and create wealth.

The second policy is about county schools. After Dou Guangguo went to the county schools many times, he gave suggestions and asked Liu Heng to classify the students, give special protection to those children with excellent grades and poor families, and the local government will bear the burden of their education. After they finish their studies, they have to go to a relatively poor place in Wu to serve as officials.

The third strategy is about officials. Dou Guangguo proposed that before officials be promoted, they should be evaluated in combination with folk reputation and political performance, and should not be judged solely by political performance.

Liu Heng readily accepted these three strategies, and told his left and right many times that this son had the qualifications of a state minister.

Later, she really wanted to ask him to be a minister, but Mrs. Dou refused for him.

Liu Chang likes this guy very much. Dou Guangguo is a very humble person. He doesn't have the bad temper like Zhou Chang and others. He never contradicts Liu Chang. Even to ordinary people, he is polite and flexible. Since he was with Liu Chang, Liu Chang didn't use his brain very much, and his knowledge was very good, he even looked like a fuchubo, being able to translate for himself, his character and ability were excellent.

Liu Chang sat in Houde Hall, Dou Guangguo and Lu Lu stood on the left and right respectively.

For this guy who came suddenly and won the favor of the emperor, Lu Lu was still a little unconvinced.

With a straight face, he didn't hide his dissatisfaction.

Obviously I came first!
Liu Chang lazily flipped through the memorials in front of him. There was no big difference between these memorials. share it.

If it was in the past, Lu Lu would definitely have ridiculed Liu Changyi and Er, but at this moment, probably feeling the pressure, Lu Lu took the lead and said: "Your Majesty is wise! Under His Majesty's governance, various places have developed rapidly and achieved a lot. Your Majesty is worthy of One emperor through the ages, no one can match!!"

Liu Chang laughed loudly, and then looked at Dou Guangguo again.

Dou Guangguo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's kindness is naturally needless to say, but these ministers really despise Your Majesty."

Liu Chang was taken aback, "Why did you say that?"

"Your Majesty is a wise king, and a wise king can listen to advice. I think these people's memorials only talk about their achievements and achievements, but they don't talk about the problems and setbacks they encountered. This is obviously a contempt. Your Majesty, I feel that if I write a letter outright, I will encounter difficulties from Your Majesty. When I was in Wu, a wise man came to give me a lecture. He said that there is no scholar in the world who can surpass Your Majesty. He said that Your Majesty has always done things. It is to think about its disadvantages first, and then implement it after being sure to solve the disadvantages. Now these people deliberately conceal the disadvantages and only let His Majesty see the benefits. If something happens, people in the world will think it is His Majesty. Is it wrong?"

Lu Lu's face turned red and he farted. Has His Majesty ever thought about the disadvantages of doing things?He has always only looked at the benefits!

But Liu Chang suddenly realized, "What you said is very reasonable, I am such a person, how dare these ministers despise me so much?"

Dou Guangguo hurriedly said: "You can't blame the ministers for this. The main reason is your majesty's majesty. People in the world respect you very much and dare not offend you in the slightest. According to my opinion, your majesty might as well reward a few ministers who have spoken out. If I find out what you have done, I will definitely know how broad-minded you are, and I will never make such a mistake again."

Liu Daxie said, "Okay, I will do as you said!"

"Lu, you are in charge of the reward."

Lu Lu said unhappily: "Why don't you let Dou Guangguo reward you?"

Liu Chang nodded again, "What you said makes sense, so how about it, Dou Guangguo, you are in charge of drawing up the list of rewards, and the money will be paid by Lu."

Liu Chang checked for a while, and couldn't help yawning, leaving the two favorites behind, and went back to the inner room to rest.

Standing outside the inner room, Dou Guangguo paid homage to Lu Lu and said: "I was recommended by the queen mother, and now I am serving by your majesty's side. I cannot repay the kindness of the queen mother. I want to visit you several times. It's just me. My status is humble, so I am timid. I never thought that I would be able to work with you. It is really an honor for me. I am new here, and I don’t know much about the rules of the court. I hope you can spare some time to teach me."

Lu Lu's complexion immediately improved a lot, and he said, "I don't think I need to teach you. Your Majesty loves you very much, and I wish I could take you with me when I go to the toilet."

Dou Guangguo said with a wry smile again: "Your Majesty is very polite to me. This is because he treats me as an outsider. How can it be compared to you? Your Majesty treats you as if you are your own brother. You will not do anything. It's really enviable to keep it from you. I hope His Majesty will not be so polite to me, but can be as casual as you are to you. It's just that you have served His Majesty for decades, I'm afraid I won't have this chance. "

Only then did Lu Lu laugh, "Actually, His Majesty is a very casual person. Don't worry, he will show his original form in a while."

"Mr. Lu, His Majesty has often asked me about the water thief recently. What do you think? Can you go to your mansion and discuss it in detail?"

"That's it. Good, good."

This was the first time someone came to him to discuss a major matter, and Lu Lu was also inexplicably strange, but he still pulled Dou Guangguo away with a smile.

"Good boy!"

Liu An looked at the little guy in his arms, his eyes full of approval.

Liu Zhi was finally brought to Liu An's place, and he wanted to officially become Liu Qian's playmate, and he wanted to learn together for enlightenment in the future.

When Liu An saw this guy, he thought he was a little too young, but after questioning him, he was taken aback. This kid is really precocious.

This appearance is completely like a little adult, with outstanding logical ability, unlike a child, Liu Qian is a little older than him, and he doesn't seem to be as outstanding as him.

Sitting aside, Liu Qian also looked at the younger brother curiously, blinking his eyes.

"From now on, you can play with your elder brother. Don't worry, no one will dare to bully you here. By the way, if a guy with a dark face and a dark heart who claims to be your second father says to take you to play, Just burst into tears and don’t follow me out, understand?”

Liu Zhi nodded his head half-understood.

Liu An patted his head and let the two little guys go out.

The two walked out of the inner room. Liu Qian looked at Liu Zhi in front of him curiously, and reached out to touch his face, "Are you my brother?"

"Yes, brother, my name is Pig."

"Your head is so big, but your body is so small?"

"My grandmother said that a child with a big head will be very smart."

Liu Qian quickly touched his head and asked, "Is my head big?"

"Big!"

"That's good!"

Liu Qian grinned, patted his chest, and said seriously: "In the future, I will protect you. In fact, this place is very fun. There are many Zhongfu in the mansion. These people like us very much. Jiao, they just feed them. By the way, there are three people who need special attention. We have a second father named Liu Ci, who is the best person with the dark face that my father said just now. My father doesn't like him. , He took us to various places to play, and taught me to use a sword. We also have an aunt, who is also very nice, but she likes to pinch your face. Your head is so big, she will definitely pinch you hard, you have to remember."

"There is another person named Wei Wenjun, and we have to be careful of him. He only listens to my father. He is very serious and will arrest us. But I heard from my mother that he is very pitiful, and his mother doesn't want him anymore."

Liu Zhi listened patiently, and then took out the toy, "Shall we play together?"

"it is good!!"

The two little guys quickly started playing in the mansion, running around, even if they fell down, they didn't cry or make trouble, they were quite happy.

Standing in the courtyard, Wei Wenjun couldn't help but chuckled as he watched the two little guys enjoying themselves.

"Mr. Wen!"

Suddenly someone patted his shoulder heavily, and Wei Wenjun hurriedly turned around to salute.

"Meet Her Majesty the Princess."

Liu Jing quickly grew to be a head taller than Wei Wenjun. At this moment, she was dressed like a man, looking majestic and imposing, and even wore a long sword on her waist.

Liu Jing's appearance is very father-like, outstanding in appearance, he is no longer the fat baby in the past, but this dress is a bit nondescript in this era.

When the two little guys who were playing saw her, Liu Qian covered his face in horror and shouted, "Auntie is here!"

The two little guys turned and ran.

Liu Jie laughed and shouted, "Auntie is going to eat people with these two bastards?!"

She looked at Wei Wenjun, "I sent someone to pick you up yesterday, why didn't you come?"

"Your Highness, I have something at home."

As Wei Wenjun spoke, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Liu Jie was a little unhappy, "It's just a remarriage, why is that? Could it be that after your father passed away, your mother can't remarry? You have to be a widow for the rest of your life? To fulfill the Confucian saying? It's not easy to be a child, even if you don't support her, you shouldn't make things difficult for her."

Wei Wenjun explained: "Your Highness does not know. I am very happy that my mother remarried. There is someone who can take care of my mother. Why should I be sad if my mother can live a happier life? It's just the person my mother is looking for. It's not a good match, I'm afraid she will be bullied."

Liu Jie nodded, "So that's the case, I think, if you don't want your mother to be wronged, then you should improve yourself and make contributions. If you are strong enough, who would dare to bully your mother? What's the use of being sad here?"

"Your Highness is right."

"I think, you might as well get married with me directly. In this way, no one will dare to bully your mother."

Wei Wenjun was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't scare me like this. I am a family slave."

"Okay, look at how scared you are. My eldest father was born as a pavilion chief, and my grandfather was born as a bully. What are you afraid of? Heroes don't ask where they come from!"

Seeing that Wei Wenjun dared not answer, Liu Jing asked again: "How is your mother's situation?"

Zheng Ji has settled down in Chang'an since marrying Mrs. Wei.

Zheng Ji's family did not object to the marriage at all.

Even made the wedding a big fanfare.

Only Zheng Ji's original wife was extremely opposed. Zheng Ji had two sons with his original wife, Mrs. Yang. Zheng Ji even had the idea of ​​​​separating the family from her, but because Mrs. Yang was related to the Cao family, he dared not do so. .Mrs. Yang's anger is also understandable. After all, my beloved left his relatives, so he didn't want to come back, and he has a concubine, who can bear it?But under the adult's persuasion, she had no choice but to accept it.

The whole family moved to live in Chang'an, and Zheng Ji doted on Mrs. Wei very much, and they were entangled with each other all day long.

However, Mrs. Yang didn't treat her very well, and often thought of ways to embarrass her.

Wei Wei was very worried at first, but now, Wei Wei is pregnant, which makes Wei Wei a lot more at ease. When the child is born, she must have some status in the mansion, and others will not dare to embarrass her, right?
I wish it was a boy.

Wei Wei endured a lot of hardships for her children at the beginning. After her life became stable, she naturally had the idea of ​​pursuing happiness. Zheng Ji, who is outstanding in appearance and can speak well, is the one who can give her happiness in her eyes.

The two snuggled together, Zheng Ji stroked Wei Wei's abdomen with a smile, Wei Wei's face was full of happiness.

Zheng Ji said calmly: "I heard that many mines have been set up in the north, and the temple is planning to turn a city into an iron city. When Zhao Guo first mined, he found a lot of merchants. You said we Can the family also go to the north to participate in this matter?"

Wei Wei hugged her beloved, and said indifferently: "It's probably possible, I don't know much about these things."

"Oh, you don't know, life is not easy at home now, you are also pregnant, rich people are being attacked everywhere, we are always scared, if we can do something in the north, life will be much better, When you have time, you might as well go to the Prince's Mansion and ask the Crown Princess if you can help me with this matter?"

Aunt Wei had a bitter face, "My beloved, I'm afraid it won't work."

Zheng Ji's face turned cold, and he quickly returned to his original appearance. He gently stroked Mrs. Wei's face, and said worriedly: "I also want you and the child to have a good life. If this continues, the family The money is exhausted, what can I do in the future? What about the child?"

Wei Wei said helplessly: "I don't know my beloved. Neither the prince nor the princess is willing to let me marry you. In order to marry you, I have already offended them. If I ask them now, I still have the face." , they will never agree."

Zheng Ji slowly let go of her abdomen, his face became a little indifferent.

Originally, I thought that by recruiting the people around the princess, the family would become stronger, but it has been a long time, and there is no benefit at all, and even people always target me.

Zheng Ji was silent for a moment, and then said: "Wen Jun hasn't been here for a long time, why not let him live here? I miss him too."

"Mr. Wen is very busy. He is in various places all day. Don't worry. I will let him come to see you in a few days. He still has some misunderstandings about you. I will enlighten him. But my child is quite impatient, so I'm afraid After he arrives, he will have a conflict with his wife, and it will not be good at that time."

Zheng Ji smiled hurriedly and said: "It's okay, I will tell her not to let her trouble you again. Don't worry."

Wei Wei gently stroked her abdomen, "Have you thought about the child's name?"

"Of course I've thought about it, call Guang."

"Guang? It doesn't sound very good."

"Why don't you call me Qing?"

"green?"

"Okay, okay, then I will be called Qing."
