Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 825
"Mr. Wen, this is just a matter of your words."

"It's not against the law. The north has been calling merchants to help mine, it's just a difference. You know what kind of person I am. If I can contribute to the temple, I must do my best. Why!"

Zheng Ji's face was full of smiles, and with his outstanding appearance, it made people feel good about him.

He took Wei Wenjun's hand very kindly, his eyes were full of kindness and kindness.

According to the traditional moral concept of the Han Dynasty, after marrying a widow, she has the right to custody of each other's children. The law of the Han Dynasty stipulates that when the two parties are married, both parties have the right to custody of each other's children, unless they are separated, otherwise , even if the widow dies, the person who marries him will have to bring up the other party's children. The law of the Han Dynasty prohibits the behavior of abandoning children and babies. This is not a legal constraint, but a moral constraint.

Han people are not afraid of violating the law, but they are afraid of being criticized morally. The big man regards morality as the highest standard. A person who violates the law may not be despised by others, but a person without morality will definitely not survive. Rejected by the clan, so looking around, unless it is a young and inexperienced dude, even those big wealthy families rarely jump out directly to bully others and ruin their reputation.

If Zheng Ji dared not to regard Wei Wenjun as his son, then he would suffer a lot of criticism, and no one would accept him in the future.

The same reasoning is that Wei Wenjun also has an obligation to Zheng Ji. He must respect this stepfather and listen to him. Disobedience and unfilial piety can be punished with the death penalty at the highest level. If it is based on morality, in the moral society of the big man, if you bear the reputation of unfilial piety, it will be difficult, and even beggars will look down on you.

Wei Wenjun said seriously: "Father doesn't know something. I am just a servant who raises horses for the prince. I have no status. I can't speak in front of the prince. I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle."

Zheng Ji said again: "Why are you humble? The crown prince loves you very much. He always keeps you by his side and teaches you personally. Now he can still do something for your three younger sisters. This matter, for you What is it? Are you unable to help, or are you unwilling to help?"

Wei Wenjun replied calmly: "It is impossible to help each other. This is a state matter. How can we talk about personal relationships?"

"That's right, that's right!"

Zheng Ji laughed, then patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Since I can't help you, then I won't look for you anymore, stay at the prince's side and serve him well, you must maintain this kind of thinking and become a useful person. Xiancai, do you understand?"

Wei Wenjun was taken aback, and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Father, for your understanding."

"Look at what you said, my child is so promising, how can I not understand? If you encounter any problems, just come to me, I will regard you as your son, and you should regard me as your father!"

As Zheng Ji said, another new dress was brought and handed to Wei Wenjun.

"I made someone do it for you, take it!"

"Thank you dad!"

"Since you care so much about your three younger sisters, take good care of them, and come to visit your mother more often in the future, as well as me. This is your home, understand?"

After Zheng Ji ordered a few more words, Wei Wenjun turned around and left the inner room. After he left, the smile on Zheng Ji's face disappeared immediately, and it was rather cold.

The servant at the side couldn't help but said: "Patriarch, you really dote on him, seeing how you look at him, he doesn't seem to regard you as a father, but he even wants to take the three younger sisters back. Will he be wronged at home? This is an unfilial behavior!! He should be punished!"

Zheng Ji sneered, "I thought that if I accepted her, I would be able to take advantage of the power of the prince, but I never thought that there would be no benefits at all, but more and more targets and embarrassments. However, I can't do business at a loss, this guy He is quite favored by the prince. As long as I don't separate from his mother, he will be my son. When he makes great achievements, I can get rich too. Go and tell that stupid woman not to keep targeting others, don't want to Delay my big business!"

The servant hurriedly lowered his head, "Wei."

When Wei Wenjun walked out of the inner room, he didn't go to the backyard to disturb his mother, and walked straight towards the gate.

As soon as he reached the door, Wei Wenjun suddenly heard a sound of breaking through the air behind him.

Wei Wenjun turned around suddenly, and saw the wooden stick sticking to his body, falling hard in front of him, and hitting the ground heavily.

Wei Wenjun didn't even blink his eyes, and looked behind him calmly.

It was a child who was about the same age as Wei Wenjun, whose appearance was about [-]% similar to that of Zheng Ji, with a stout figure, holding a wooden stick, and glaring at Wei Wenjun viciously. There were three or four helpers behind him, directly surrounding Wei Wenjun .

Wei Wenjun was not afraid at all, looked at the child in front of him, and probably knew his identity in his heart.

"Brother, why do you want to do this?"

Although he didn't know the age of the other party, Wei Wenjun still called him his elder brother.

Zheng Bian was furious, and cursed: "Which one is your brother?!"

"You son of a servant, dare to call me brother?"

Wei Wenjun asked: "Then what advice do you have?"

"Heh, advice? It's you who tortured my mother who shed tears all day long. Today I must teach you a lesson!!"

Zheng Bian yelled, swung his stick and hit Wei Wenjun. Wei Wenjun took a step back and easily dodged his stick.

"I won't come here again in the future, just stop here."

"Bah, if I don't break your leg today, my surname will not be Zheng! Give it to me!!!"

Several helpers started at the same time, relying on his thin body, Wei Wenjun dodged back and forth in the crowd, but he didn't get hit.Although Wei Wenjun has no experience in beating people, he has sufficient experience in beating. In these years, he has been beaten back and forth by Liu Chang, Lei Bei, Zhao Tuo and others. His ability to dodge is first-rate, and these people Compared with those who were going to beat him up, his attack was simply incomparable.

Seeing several people attacking at the same time, but none of them could touch this guy, Zheng Bian got anxious at that time, and scolded: "You bastard, how can you be as smooth as your mother?!"

"Boom."

This time, Wei Wenjun didn't move, he grasped the wooden stick that was thrown head-on, his eyes were a little cold, and he stared firmly at Zheng Bian's eyes.

"Don't humiliate my grandmother."

Seeing that he stopped hiding, Zheng Bian was overjoyed and shouted, "So what if you're humiliated, you prostitute!"

"Bang~~~"

Zheng Bian only felt that his whole body flew out, and when his eyes were dark, he didn't know anything.

The helpers around were stunned, and roared again and rushed forward. Wei Wenjun dodged the wooden stick and was swung into the air by him. When he touched them, the helpers all fell to the ground, motionless.The rest of the servants came late and yelled loudly. Soon, more people came and surrounded the place. Just when Wei Wenjun was ready to die, there was another boy People come out.

This person was seven to eight points similar to Zheng Bian, walked up to his younger brother, checked his condition, and then ordered: "Take him back."

The servants hurriedly picked up Zheng Bian and left here.

Zheng Qi looked at Wei Wenjun in front of him, was silent for a moment, and then said: "This matter is wrong, you have to blame yourself, no one will be held accountable, my brother is stubborn, I will discipline him more in the future, you Let's go."

Wei Wenjun dropped the wooden stick in his hand, "Thank you, brother."

Zheng Qi's face suddenly became a little sad, "Don't call me elder brother. Ever since father met your mother, he never paid attention to my mother. Father is away all year round and never does anything. Everything is done by me. My mother came to take care of it, but now my mother has a bad reputation of being intolerant. My father beat my mother because of your mother's affairs. As a son, I dare not say anything to my father. I wash my face with tears every day, my younger brother has also been holding back his anger all the time. How can there be any reason in the world to treat a poor wife like this?"

Wei Wenjun didn't know what to say.

"I won't make things difficult for you, but I will never accept your family either."

Zheng Qi said, took his younger brother, turned and left here.

At this moment, in front of Liu An's mansion.

Liu Zhi fiddled with the nondescript clothes on his body, he had never worn such a fancy dress, "Brother, why do we have to dress like this?"

Liu Qian stood aside, also wearing a children's costume, and said seriously: "My Zhong father said, when you see a beautiful woman, you should dress appropriately and speak politely, so that people know your talent and learning and behave like a gentleman. "

He said, and helped Liu Zhi straighten his clothes again, "I used to wear this fancy dress, don't get it dirty, I like dressing like this the most, isn't it very similar to Dafu?"

Liu Zhi recalled it for a while, then nodded quickly, "It's really similar!!"

"But brother, why do you want the beauty to know your talents? What does beauty mean?"

Liu Qian scratched his head, "I don't know, Father Zhong didn't say anything, but he's right, Father Zhong is the smartest person in Chang'an!"

"Then shall we stand here and wait for them to come?"

"How long will we have to wait? Let's play in the courtyard first, and wait until they come!"

While the two Shuzi were playing in the courtyard, Wei Wenjun took his younger sisters back to the Prince's Mansion. Wei Wenjun has three younger sisters, the eldest sister is Wei Junru. Very introverted and timid, not very talkative, the second sister is Wei Shaoer, lively and active, not very stable, and the third sister is Wei Zifu, who is somewhat similar to her elder brother, gentle and kind.

At this moment, the three younger sisters were sitting beside their elder brother, their faces full of joy.

Wei Shaoer couldn't help but said: "I can finally go back, I've had enough of that place, if I stay any longer, I'll poke Zheng Bian's eyes out sooner or later!"

Wei Wenjun reminded: "Second sister, don't say such words."

"Brother, you don't know how bad those people are to us, they always try to bully us in different ways. I miss the time in the Prince's Mansion very much, and my mother didn't allow us to go back."

"Oh, mother also has her own difficulties. Okay, don't talk about it anymore. Later, I will take you to meet the prince and princess. You can come back because of their kindness. I want to thank them. I understand. ?"

"Know it!"

When Wei Wenjun arrived at the Prince's Mansion with his three younger sisters, he hurried to the inner room to thank the Prince and Princess.

Liu An was unmoved, but Ti Ying loved them very much, probably because of what happened to them, Ti Ying also felt a little sympathetic.

"Get up, get up, don't have to."

Tiying greeted them to come to her side, and then said with a smile: "From now on, I will treat this place as my home, and don't let your brother worry."

Wei Wenjun paid homage to Liu An again, "Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness, for your great kindness, it will be difficult to repay you in this life."

Liu An waved his hand casually, "No need to be like this, Father asked me to handle this matter. If you want to thank you, please go thank Your Majesty."

"His Majesty??"

Wei Wenjun was a little surprised.

Liu An said with a straight face, very displeased: "I don't know who told Father about you."

Wei Wenjun suddenly understood, and saluted the prince again, and was about to say something when he saw two little dolls barging in.

They were still complaining to each other, "It's all your fault, you played too much, and they didn't even notice when they came in."

The two walked all the way in front of the three girls, and saw that both of them were dressed in fancy clothes, and Liu An was stunned. Liu Qian's eyes turned back and forth among the three people in front of him, skipping age. Wei Junru, who was too big, landed on Wei Shaoer's body, and said with a smile: "I am Liu Qian, who was named the King of Xia, and my father is the Emperor of Han. He is a dignified man, full of wheels, and has seen beauties!"

Liu Zhi also imitated the example. He looked at the younger Wei Zifu, "I am Liu Zhi, who was named the King of Xia. My father is the Emperor of Han. He is an uncle. He is full of wheels and has seen beauties."

At that moment, Tiying laughed so hard that she rolled forward and backward.

Liu An's face was extremely dark, and his eyes almost burst into flames.

"Leibei!! Prepare the carriage!!"

Liu An left here aggressively.

The two little guys found playmates and chatted together. Liu Qian looked at Wei Shao'er curiously and asked about his family affairs, while Liu Zhi was bragging about his own affairs openly, so that Wei Zifu came to listen.

Wei Wenjun frowned and took a deep breath.

Ti Ying joked with a smile: "Have you ever heard how the prince feels about you?"

Wei Wenjun suddenly realized.

When the prince came to the military school in a hurry, a certain king of Xia was not here. Knowing that he was in Houde Hall, the prince drove there again.

When Liu An broke into the Hall of Houde, he saw Liu Ci kneeling beside his father, listening to what his father said.

Liu An rushed to his side in a few steps, grabbed the back of his neck, and lifted him up.

Liu Liang's eyes were full of panic, and he hurriedly shouted: "Brother! It's me! It's me! I'm Liang!!"

Liu An looked again, and it was indeed Liu Liang. He left him helplessly, and muttered, "It's not good to look like someone, it must be such a face."

"Why, do you have a problem with this face?"

Liu Chang asked.

Liu An looked at the face that was very similar to the twins, so he didn't have much to say. He sat on the side bitterly and complained: "Father, I can't ignore this gift, my child has been misled by him. , not only moved, even the pig was taken astray. Let him continue to stay in Chang'an, and within three years, all the Han clan in the future will become like him."

Liu Chang motioned him to sit for a while, then looked at Liu Liang again.

"There have been many disasters in the Northland in recent days. As a prince, you want to appease people's hearts. I either ask you to go to the country and reward the disaster relief ministers including Ji Gong, or I ask you to help them. To appease the local people, Ji Bu will be able to handle a lot of things better with you as a vassal king in the area. You don't have to interfere with anything, just listen to Ji Bu's arrangements, and you can do whatever he asks you to do. Do you understand? ?”

Liu Liang nodded again, "I see."

"Well, go ahead and get ready."

After Liu Liang left, Liu An asked suspiciously: "Father is going to send Liang to Beidi for disaster relief?"

"Ji Bu is still busy there, let Liang go to visit Ji Bu, and also help to appease the local people."

Liu Chang explained a few words, and then said: "Tell me, why did you come to me?"

Of course, Liu Chang didn't think that his eldest son would come to him because of Liu Ci's affairs. That Shuzi was disobedient, just beat him up, there was no need to make a special trip to break into Houde Hall.

"Father, it's about the Taiwei going south."

"Why, do you also think the Taiwei will go to the south to seek rebellion?"

"Of course not. Those ministers in the court are just separating the monarch and his ministers, Father don't need to care about it."

Liu An said seriously: "Father, the Taiwei went to the southern country on this trip, and he didn't have any cronies around him. The people in the south were frightened of him. I thought, why don't you let me go with him? Wei's distrust, on the one hand, I can help the Taiwei to solve many things. With me, things will be much easier. In addition, I can also go to see the affairs of the navy and the sea. The purpose is overseas, but I have never been there. The other is my disciples. I want to take this opportunity to cultivate some talented people who can be used by the navy in the future.”

"Oh, it's fine if you want to go to the south, but you can't stay too long."

"Father, I have one more thing, I don't know if I should say it."

"Just say what you want."

"Father, in the past, you gathered some shipbuilders to develop ships like chariots and boats, but the shipbuilding in Chang'an was done behind closed doors. Why don't you entrust the shipbuilders in Chang'an to me and take them to the south. There are many differences in the south. The ships of Shendu, Funan and other places also have their own characteristics."

"If we can open the shipbuilding office of the temple in the south, and gather shipwrights from all over the world, including shipwrights from Shendu and other places, and carry out research and development there, we may be able to achieve greater results. After cars and boats, there will be very few ships in the Han Dynasty. There is no development, but the ships of Nanyue and Wu have been improving all the time. I think the manufacturing capacity of the temple should not be weaker than that of the local. I want to set up a shipyard for the temple in Langya County, specially designed and built for the temple. Research and develop all kinds of new ships."
