Father Han Gaozu

Zheng Qi stood in front of the door, looked at the carriages parked around, and frowned.

In front of you is the Prince's Mansion.

Because of Ji An's recommendation, Zheng Qi finally has the qualification to come here to participate in academic exchanges.

This academic exchange held in the Prince's Mansion is very famous even in Chang'an. In the past, Liu An used this method of gathering to select his own guests. All the invitees were basically from the Huang-Lao School. The best talent.

Talented people from all over the world gather here to exchange knowledge with each other. After Liu An, the Huang-Lao School has changed from its previous decadence, the quality of its students has greatly increased, and its original strength has been restored again.

After Huang Lao and the great sages passed away one by one, Huang Lao had a period of incomplete life, and Confucianism rushed to catch up.

But all this changed as Liu An grew up.

With the crown prince around, Mr. Huang is invincible, not only because of his status, but also because of his knowledge. His knowledge is a booster for Mr. Huang, which makes Mr. Huang, who is showing an old posture, burst out again. A whole new energy.

Liu An finally followed his own ideas and turned Huang Lao into what he wanted.

The three generations of the Liu family have different attitudes towards academic thought.

Liu Bang can use whichever is easy to use.

Whichever Liu Chang is easy to use is mine.

Liu An is to make it the best.

Liu An poured his own governance concepts and ideas into the Huang-Lao School, and turned this school into what he wanted. This is much more difficult than what the Elder and Bangzi did.

Liu Chang often despises and disdains Liu An's behavior because he can't do this.

Of course, these three methods are different from person to person, and each has its advantages and disadvantages. If Liu An and Liu Chang are forced to jump around repeatedly, it may be a bad thing.

In any case, the changes of Huang Lao are true. Their thinking is more and more closely related to the current era. They are extremely tolerant of new things and have the courage to innovate. They are more suitable for governing the country than Confucianism.

Zheng Qi stood at the door, and from time to time someone passed by him and walked into the Prince's Mansion.

Zheng Qi's age made them curious, but they didn't think too much about it. It wasn't that there were people of this age who would be Liu An's disciples in the past. After all, they were all talents in the world, and geniuses were common.

Zheng Qi is different from them, he came here on foot, not because he doesn't have a carriage at home, but because he disdains to ride in it, although the carriage is very luxurious, compared with the carriages of these big shots, it is not inferior in the slightest, but the carriage like that Has an invisible label, powerful.

Because of this background, Zheng Qi doesn't know how many times he has experienced humiliation.

Now that I have come to this strange place, will things be different here?

Here, can we see her again?

Zheng Qi took a deep breath, stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was a thin man. Zheng Qi hurriedly greeted him, and then explained his purpose of coming.

The man immediately hesitated, asked Zheng Qi to wait here, and then went in to report.

Wei Wenjun is busy arranging this party. He is not the leader of the party, but he is the person in charge of the party, from parking the carriages of the people to meals and drinks, the place of debate and the seats under their buttocks. Wait, Wei Wenjun is in charge, that is to say, to guarantee their "logistics". After Liu An left, this person became the "manager" in the Prince's Mansion. Let him be the comprador, to put it more appropriately, just like Lu Lu next to Liu Chang.

"Oh? Ji Gong's letter?"

Wei Wenjun took the letter, glanced at it, and was even more surprised.

"Zheng Qi??"

The thin doorman said seriously: "In the past, when these talented people came, His Highness personally agreed, but this Zheng Qi. He doesn't have much reputation, but Ji Gong wrote a letter recommending him. Tell him to go back and talk about it when His Highness comes down?"

Wei Wenjun shook his head, "Neglecting talents is an insult to the prince's reputation."

"Your Highness has always loved the virtuous. You don't know this Zheng Qi, but I know him. He is experienced and practical, and understands the principles of doing things. He is by no means a mediocre person. He is exactly what His Highness needs. Although His Highness is not here, we can't either. If you have neglected him, you can invite him in. Don't be negligent."

"it is good."

The man hurried back, and soon Zheng Qi was invited to the mansion.

When he came to the Prince's Mansion for the first time, Zheng Qi didn't panic. He just looked around patiently. The debate hadn't started yet. Everyone gathered in twos and threes, talking about knowledge. Zheng Qi didn't know many people. He was just curious. Looking around, finally, in the crowd, Zheng Qi saw the only acquaintance.

Zheng Qi paused, walked quickly to Wei Wenjun's side, looked around, and then asked:

"Where's the princess?"

Wei Wenjun smiled, "Aren't you in the mansion, are you disappointed?"

Zheng Qi shook his head, and Wei Wenjun immediately said: "I heard what you said in Taixue from Mr. Su. It's not bad, but many Confucian scholars who said it were speechless and walked away with their faces covered. I appreciate it very much."

Zheng Qi stretched out a finger.

"Then we are now one win and one loss, right? Count me as one win?"

Wei Wenjun laughed, "That's hard to say."

The communication started soon, and everyone did their work separately. Zheng Qi also sat in the position they set for himself, with all kinds of melons and fruits in front of him. People on both sides nodded their heads gently to salute. Get up and get ready to study hard.

And the main person in charge of this exchange is the Su Fei who went to Taixue back then.

This person has a great reputation among the crowd. Seeing him coming, everyone stood up and saluted. Zheng Qi hurriedly stood up and saluted, but Su Fei smiled. The whole person was very casual. We exchanged pleasantries.

"Grand Su showed great power in Taixue a few days ago, hahaha, we all admire him very much!"

Everyone was talking.

Su Fei shook his head, pointed to Wei Wenjun in the distance with a smile, and said, "It must be this little guy who came to find us immediately after receiving the letter from the Ministry of Industry and Engineering, and asked us to come forward to help. I was still worried that it would be inappropriate to act rashly without the crown prince's order, but this kid said it was expedient, and went directly to the mistress. We dare not refuse anymore. Now it seems that this kid is right. It will be too late if the crown prince orders to do something again!"

Everyone laughed and looked in Wei Wenjun's direction. Wei Wenjun just smiled shyly and saluted everyone.

Zheng Qi was very surprised, so it turned out that Hachiko was dispatched because of this guy?
He looked at Wei Wenjun, but saw Wei Wenjun secretly stretched out a finger.

Zheng Qi laughed.

Let's just say it's a tie.

And this academic exchange did not disappoint Zheng Qi. All the sages gathered, and everyone expressed their own ideas. Zheng Qi found that Huang Lao was no longer on the same level as Confucianism. The ideas of these people were very different. Novelty, many of which I have never heard of. They seem to have been opened the door to a new world by the prince. The things they talked about, such as opening the sea to resettle the people, the conflicts in governing the country after business prosperity, currency innovation, Zheng Qi had never heard of it before.

They have already walked in front of Confucianism, looking at the future of the great man more clearly.

Thinking about the Confucianism that is still struggling with filial piety, Zheng Qi feels a little confused.

Why is the gap so large?
These people have already begun to look to the future and make plans for the future of the great man. When will Confucianism wake up?

At this time, Zheng Qi inevitably thought of Dong Zhongshu again.

Does that guy know what's going on these days?Does he have the ability to change?Can he be the prince's opponent?

Zheng Qi was fascinated by what he heard, and even the matter of the princess was forgotten. Regardless of other people's eyes, he asked for a pen and paper, and began to write and record seriously.

And his attitude has been recognized by the boss.

Before Su Fei left, he said happily that he could come to him for anything he didn't understand in the future.

Zheng Qi returned with a full load.

But this joy did not last long.

When I got home, the joy dissipated without a trace.

In the inner room, Mrs. Yang was yelling insults at Mrs. Wei, her eyes were red, her hand was almost stabbing the other's face, and her saliva was splashing everywhere. Zheng Bian stood aside, but dared not say anything.

Aunt Wei was still holding the child in her arms, and the child was so frightened that he cried loudly at this moment.

Aunt Wei's face was pale, facing his wife, she really didn't dare to speak back.

The more Mrs. Yang spoke, the angrier she became, "You still have the nerve to ask me? Where did you say he went? Don't you know in your heart? He went to find someone like you! I can't control him, and I can't control him." I can't stand you, I don't care about anyone! Get out of here!"

She raised her hand angrily, and was about to hit her. At that moment, Zheng Qi stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

"Mother."

"It doesn't have to be."

Mrs. Yang's eyes widened and she was so angry that she couldn't speak. Zheng Qi calmly turned his head and looked at Aunt Wei, then lowered his head to look at the child in her arms.

The child stopped crying at the moment, and looked at his brother curiously.

Zheng Qi stretched out his hand.

Wei Wei was so frightened that she was about to back away immediately, but Zheng Qi didn't hurt the half-brother, but just put it in front of him. Xiaoqing stretched out her chubby hand and held his brother's hand curiously. , giggled.

Looking at his younger brother who looked similar to himself, Zheng Qi looked at Aunt Wei again.

"You'd better go back and wait with peace of mind. My father went out for a drink and will be back in a few days. My mother is also having a hard time these days, so don't be offended."

Wei Wei nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly left here with the child in her arms.

"Brother?? What's wrong with you??"

Zheng Bian's eyes widened, and he couldn't understand his brother's behavior.

Madam Yang couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes, "I worked so hard to raise you up, even you are so beautiful."

Zheng Qi turned around and gently wiped away the tears from Aunt's face. When his hands touched those obvious wounds, Zheng Qi's eyes became sharper.

"Aunt, it's not her fault, why bother with her."

"you"

"This is all Father's fault!!!"

Zheng Qi's voice was loud, and there was no trace of fear on his face, "How can there be such a father in the world! Such a beloved man?!"

"Nothing, ruining the clan's reputation, humiliating your own wretched wife, deceiving others everywhere!! I am ashamed of this person!!"

Mrs. Yang was stunned, she stretched out her hand and blocked his mouth.

She was terrified and cursed: "Shut up! What are you talking about! Are you crazy?!"

"Why should I put up with him like this? It's not for you! I'm afraid that you will be branded as unfilial! I never bothered with him! Do you know what kind of crime is disobedience? You will be dragged out and beheaded!! !"

"No matter how bad he is, he is still your father! I can scold him, but you are not allowed!!"

Mrs. Yang reprimanded loudly.

Zheng Qi struggled out, his eyes full of tenacity, "If you can be filial, you will be filial! I have been raised by my grandmother since I was a child, has he ever taken care of us for a day? The money in the family is left by the elder father. Ever made a fortune? He wandered outside all day, and when he came back, he would beat his mother! In the past, he lied to the woman in order to curry favor with the prince, but now? Seeing that he could not get benefits, he was either insulted or beaten. , Has he hugged him once?!"

"How many times have my brother and I been beaten by him since we were young?"

"My brother was so smart when he was young! Ever since he was hit on the head by my father, until now, I don't even know how to write my own name!"

"Back then, the money my father gave me to apprenticeship was stolen by him!"

"Should I be filial to such a person?"

Zheng Qi's voice became louder and louder, and the faces of the servants outside changed, and they left one after another, not wanting to hear more.

Mrs. Yang was furious, "Shut up, shut up."

"I'm not afraid of taking on any crime of disobedience, I just ask my mother to leave home with him. If it's because of me that my mother must continue to suffer from these things, then I would rather be executed today!!!"

Mrs. Yang was stunned and could no longer speak.

"but you"

Zheng Qi gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I don't believe it, this big man is unreasonable and I will die, and I won't let him bully my mother again!!"

"Who bullied your mother?"

Suddenly there was a questioning from outside, and she saw a drunken person walking into the house, Madam Yang's face changed drastically, and she was about to push Zheng Qi out of here immediately.The person who walked in was Zheng Ji. At this moment, he staggered to the upper seat, sat down, raised his head, and looked at the few people in front of him.

"What are you doing standing there? Prepare me some soup! Stupid woman!!"

Zheng Ji scolded.

Mrs. Yang turned around and was about to leave, but Zheng Qi grabbed her.

Zheng Ji drooped his head, waited for a moment, raised his head, but saw Mrs. Yang didn't move, became furious, and cursed: "What are you doing in a daze!"

"You."

Zheng Ji rushed over staggeringly, Zheng Qi had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and with a sudden push, Zheng Ji was pushed down and sat back in his original position.

Zheng Ji was stunned, and looked at Zheng Qi in disbelief.

"You dare to fight me?! You dare to beat me?! You dare to disobey. You."

"I dare not fight with you, but you don't want to fight with my mother."

Zheng Ji finally came to his senses, he rushed forward again, but grabbed Zheng Qi's neck.

"Do you want to die?!"

"Do you still dare to touch me?!"

"Boom~~"

Hearing a muffled sound, Zheng Ji fell to the ground, but it wasn't Zheng Qi who shot, but Zheng Bian who was beside him. He was like a mad wolf, grinning with four teeth, and kicked Zheng Ji's leg with one kick. Ji Ming was so drunk, how could he stand it, he was kicked over by him, and he roared loudly: "Let go of my brother!!!"

Zheng Ji was stunned. He sat on the ground and looked at the two sons in front of him.

"Reverse! All reversed! I will sue you for disobedience! I will sue you!!"

"Crack~~~"

A slap hit Zheng Ji's face violently, and Zheng Ji's nose was bleeding rapidly.

This time it was Mrs. Yang, who stared at him angrily, trembling with anger.

"Sue disobedience, right?! Okay, you go to sue, and I will go to Pingyang Hou Mansion after you sue, I will sue you for adultery, I will sue you for treason, I will sue you for Zangjia, you fish and meat people, if you steal, I will be ruined , I’ll kill you first too!!”

"Do you dare to move my son to see?!"

"I insist on taking all of you with the surname Zheng to be buried together!!!"

Mrs. Yang almost broke her voice, her voice was extremely loud.

Zheng Ji stared at them blankly, without saying a word.

"go!"

Mrs. Yang pulled her two sons and left here without looking back.

"Crazy. You're all crazy, these people are crazy."

Zheng Ji slowly got up from the ground and shouted outside: "Come here!"

Immediately, a housekeeper came in, lowered his head and helped Zheng Ji up.

"They are all crazy, dare to provoke Naigong. They are all crazy!"

As Zheng Ji said, the housekeeper just let out a long and helpless sigh.

Zheng Ji sat in his seat and took a deep breath.

"Take me to Concubine Wei!"

The butler didn't dare to say anything more, supported Zheng Ji and walked towards Aunt Wei, but when they came to the side room, it was empty and there was no one there, Zheng Ji widened his eyes, " where is the guy??"

The steward hurriedly called someone to ask.

A servant came and said in a panic: "Patriarch, she took the child and left just now. She said she was going to see other children and spend some time with them."

Zheng Ji yelled: "This bitch!! Still not forgetting the old love??"

"These people! They are all a bunch of idiots! They all deserve to be killed!"

He couldn't bear it anymore at this moment, and said angrily: "Prepare the car!! I want to go to the county government! Go to the county government!!"

The old butler said solemnly with a straight face: "Patriarch, when the old patriarch was still there, our Zheng family also established a family based on morality and had a very good reputation. The old patriarch often helped the people around him and subsidized those poor students for free. You guys, never exploit the common people, oppress the people from the same township, no matter who it is, they only talk about our Zheng family as a good family, but now? We have become a powerful family!!"

"What are you going to do in the county government? Are you willing to give up if you have to destroy the entire Zheng family?!"

Zheng Ji widened his eyes and looked at the old housekeeper, "You old dog"

The old butler suddenly let go of his hand, and Zheng Ji fell to the ground again.

The old housekeeper looked at him sadly, "I have repaid the old master's kindness to me for a long time, but your behavior is really disgusting, and I will not stay anymore."

He turned and left here, while several servants looked at each other and followed.

In such a large mansion, Zheng Ji was the only one left, and his heart-piercing roar was heard.

"Come here! Come here!!"

It's a pity that there was no answer in the entire mansion.

There is only one bereaved dog, barking helplessly.
