Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 598

Chapter 598

In the man-ruled society of the Han Dynasty, the role that a minister can play is very amazing.

In a county and county, if Zhidu came to be the sheriff, in a short period of time, he could make the place open at night and not pick up things on the road. This is only a level that he can reach after a few months of taking office. When a qualified sheriff comes, the state of the bottom is basically horrible.

The state of the various places when Xiao He was the Prime Minister was completely different from that of Zhang Cang when he was the Prime Minister.

The same is true for Chao Cuo, who has already exerted a huge influence on the big man just after he became the Sangong.

His all-out attack directly changed the wind direction of the big man. Officials who were unwilling to defy the law were all adjusting their policies, for fear of being caught by Chao Cuo.

At the end of the day's court meeting, the ministers watched San Gong leave, and then slowly surrounded Lu Jia, wearing shoes in a calm manner, and their faces were not very good-looking.Lu Jia's face was also quite ugly, his left and right assistants were all caught by Chao Cuo's excuses, and even himself was punished, and his salary was reduced by three hundred.

The patience of the ministers towards Chao Cuo seemed to have reached a certain limit.

This guy is really inappropriate. Liu Jing looks so kind compared to him. This is definitely the worst Sangong in the history of the big man. He almost stares at everyone. No matter what your origin or title is, he will To deal with it, there is almost no difference between his own people and outsiders in his eyes. He even arrests Zhang Buyi, even if in the eyes of the officials, Zhang Buyi and him should be in the same group, Liu Jing is still just Zhang Shizhi just wanted to make things difficult for the royal relatives and relatives when arresting big merchants and powerful people, but this one, he doesn't care about your identity at all.

He dismissed many people, and more and more people went to Longxi for labor.

None of the officials in the Qin State were as ruthless as him. In line with the principle of "turning small things into big ones, and abandoning the market for big things", Chao Cuo was stunned to make people panic in the temple and make them uneasy.

"Lu Gong, you can't pamper him like this anymore. He's addicted to arresting people, and if this continues, we'll all be together in Longxi."

A minister stood in front of Lu Jia, lowered his head and put on his shoes, and said calmly.

"Don't worry. I've got an idea."

"Let's be patient for a while longer, let this guy continue to be arrogant, sooner or later he will suffer."

As Lu Jia said, he put on his shoes and strode away.

Chao Cuo is basically in charge of the court meetings during this period. His Majesty has been very busy recently. It is said that Shang Fang has created a brand new colored glaze. His Majesty ordered them to install this thing in the palace. Use it to experiment and see if it is good or bad. Only after it is harmless can it be used by the people of the world.That's what he said, but what he thinks in his heart, of course the officials are also very clear, what harm can this thing do? ?Obviously, I want to use it as a decoration for myself first! !

Zhang Cang is also very busy. It is said that Shang Fang used the glass to create a new thing that can see far away, and even alarmed the Taiwei. Zhang Xiang wanted this thing to check astronomy, and the Taiwei wanted to use it to see the enemy. , His Majesty also spends all day together, His Majesty is different from them, His Majesty mainly wants to use this thing to peek at the beauties on the road.

Zhang Buyi is also very busy recently, always coming and going in and out of Shangfang, but he is always mysterious, and the officials don't know what he is busy with.

The affairs of the temple fell directly into the hands of this lunatic Chao Cuo, which was undoubtedly a catastrophe for the officials.

At this moment, sitting in the resplendent Imperial Palace, Chao Cuo proudly looked at the people in front of him.

The people in Yushifu were basically replaced by Chao Cuo. He hired a lot of new people. You can know the virtues of these people Chao Cuo hired. Let’s say that his current confidant is also Chao Cuo. He was specially selected by Chao Cuo. His name was Zhao Yu, and he was from Youfufeng County. He was famous when he was young. After talking for a few hours, he was overjoyed and thought that he had real talent, so he was directly promoted to the position of Zhongcheng, and he soared into the sky.

And this person is basically a small Chao Cuo.

He is very honest and lives in a very simple house.

He was extremely arrogant, offended his boss many times, had no relationship with anyone, and offended almost everyone who could.

He enforced the law harshly and never knew what mercy was.

Most of the people Chao Cuo promoted were people of this type. Chao Cuo used them to form a brand new Yushifu. Flying dog jumps, those dandies did not dare to come out, the Wuding building was empty, and almost no one dared to pass on the fifth floor, they found out all the impeachments suppressed by Ji Bu in the past, and carried out the second After the first impeachment, Yushifu's notoriety suddenly reached its peak.

At this moment, Chao Cuo looked at the memorial in front of him, and couldn't help asking: "How is it? Have they recruited?"

"Recruited, and testified against many people."

"Very good, the people who testified against them will also be arrested for interrogation! There is no need to meet with Tingwei regularly! If Tingwei comes to interrogate, then he must be guilty, and those who will interrogate in the future will also be arrested and interrogated!"

"only!!"

Zhao Yu bowed his head and said yes, then asked again: "Mr. Chao, these are the people of Zhang Zuoxiang, should we?"

"What are you afraid of?! So what about Zhang Buyi? He is a Sangong, and I am also a Sangong!!"

As Chao Cuo was speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Of course, the people in Taiwei's Mansion should not move."

"Others! Don't bother with their identities!!"

"It's best to find evidence of their collusion with the king. Remember, the king is the one we should deal with!"

"only!!"

In Zhang Cang's mansion, Liu Chang was holding the binoculars made by Shang Fang, looking at the distance stupidly. Zhang Cang sat on the side, and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, have you played enough? I want more."

Han Xin was also here, looking at Liu Chang who dared not get down to business, he snorted in dissatisfaction.

Only then did Liu Chang put down the binoculars, and sat down proudly, "This is my masterpiece. With this thing, you can watch the stars at night and the widow during the day."

Zhang Cang said solemnly with a straight face, "Is the minister such a slutty person?!"

"That's right, you usually shoot directly, why would you sneak a look at it?"

"The world was in chaos before, and there were many orphans and widows who could not make ends meet. As the prime minister, I raised them myself, brought up their children, and took care of them as my own. Fame! However, for the sake of the righteousness of the world, why should I cherish this pure name?!"

Liu Chang looked at Zhang Cang with some admiration, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Teacher, I really admire you. I won't accept anything but your serious nonsense. When do you think I will reach your level? "

If he hadn't been very clear about the teacher's character, Liu Chang would have almost believed it.

However, it is true that Zhang Cang said that he has raised many orphans, but that is definitely not his real purpose! !

Zhang Cang stroked his beard and said solemnly: "With the world in mind, you can naturally achieve such a state of mind."

Han Xin couldn't stand it anymore.

Zhang Cang's level of governing the country is indeed very high. After he became the prime minister of the country, the big man basically ran with his legs running wildly. The grain production increased year by year. , the agriculture is booming, the handicraft industry is expanding rapidly, county schools are spread all over the country, medical clinics appear in every corner of the Han Dynasty, most of the officials are wise, capable ministers come out frequently, and the style of writing is prosperous. He can do almost everything a prime minister can do. , even overfulfilled.

Today, while Zhang Cang is compiling the calendar, he is still working on many things, such as the canals in many places, the Chidao connecting Yan, and the canal connecting the south.

Except for his weakness in the temple, this person is basically no different from Xiao He in terms of ability, but Han Xin still looks down on him. Although his ability is good, compared with Xiao He's personal virtue, it is simply a dog.

Han Xin didn't like such a person with a lack of personal morality. He felt that such a person was not a real hero.

Zhang Cang is not close to Han Xin either, and the relationship between the two parties is still in a state of non-communication.

Probably because he noticed that Han Xin was a little unhappy, Liu Chang did not continue to say more, and handed the telescope to Han Xin. Han Xin held the telescope, first weighed it, then stood at the door to try its function, and then threw it on the ground. After trying the firmness, Liu Chang looked a little distressed.

"Teacher, please drop it lightly, this thing is not as strong as mine"

Han Xin asked: "Can it be produced on a large scale?"

"Of course. Although the cost is a bit expensive, but with glass, no problem, I can ask Lu to sell glass. After I install glass in the palace, the officials will definitely follow suit. I want to sell the glass to them at a high price, and then We have money to make telescopes. Teacher, in fact, I can’t wait to decorate the palace with glass, not to satisfy my own selfish desires! I am not greedy for enjoyment. I just want to play a role in publicity and sell more to the rich and powerful. Some glass, in exchange for wealth to make telescopes, but people in the world always misunderstand me, cause controversy, and damage my name, for the sake of the righteousness of the world, so what if I am wronged a little?!"

Liu Chang frowned, what he said was righteous Lingran.

Zhang Cang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help shouting: "Okay, seventy percent!"

Han Xin ignored the two bastards, just lowered his head and fumbled for the telescope, muttering: "This thing is good, it can play a big role. Unfortunately, it can't be used at night."

"Teacher, this is the role of Shangfang. As long as you can support Shangfang in the temple, even with a few compliments, they will definitely be able to make you a night-use telescope in the future!"

Han Xin sneered, didn't say anything, got up and left with the binoculars, as if he didn't want to stay for a moment.

Zhang Cang stretched out his hand, wanting to say something, but he could only watch Han Xin leave.

After Han Xin left, Zhang Cang breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but said, "The Taiwei is here, which makes people feel a lot of pressure. You should have a telescope there, right?"

"Yes, I will send another one later."

Zhang Cang looked at the door, and then said: "Recently, Chao Cuo has gone too far. Chao Cuo has an unruly personality. If you want to use him, you have to control him more. Let him do whatever he wants. big problem."

"But after he took office, the administration of officials in various places has improved a lot, at least no more grievances from the people have been heard."

"Of course he will get better if he catches it like this. However, blindly and strictly enforcing the law may lead to bad results."

"You'd better send someone to keep an eye on him so that he can't mess around. Zhang Buyi is a good candidate."

"Well I know"

Liu Chang answered vaguely, and Zhang Cang was also a little helpless. This disciple of his family was always eager for quick success and didn't like trouble. Now Chao Cuo's quick way of chopping up messes fits Liu Chang's characteristics. It's a pity, this The temple is not a mess, and it is easy to cut out big problems with such a one-size-fits-all approach.

Zhang Cang didn't seem to care much about the affairs of the temple, but in fact, he was well aware of all kinds of things.

"Teacher, you don't have to worry. Chao Cuo won't cause any serious problems. I'm already fully prepared."

Liu Chang squinted his eyes, looking a bit sinister.

"His Royal Highness!! Do you really care?!"

"The Mo family is so popular that all the scholars of the Taixue have gone to vote for them now!"

"The Mo family has accepted more than 300 disciples in a few days!"

Wang Gao stood impatiently in front of Liu An, wandering back and forth, his whole body was extremely angry.

Since the last time the Mo family made a big splash in Taixue, the momentum of the Mo family in Taixue has surpassed Mr. Huang. After all, the shock that those 20 or more Hous brought to everyone is still very big. It became overcrowded, and the Mohist scriptures became the most popular reading material in Taixue. You can hear the words of Mohists who have no king and no father everywhere. Confucianism is very angry, and Huang Lao is even more angry. A show of provocation!

The Mohists have snatched away so many disciples, except for some schools that have no disciples, the other schools are very anxious.

When Wang Gao rushed to the door and wanted to discuss this matter with the prince, the prince seemed very casual and didn't care about this matter at all.

Liu An looked at Wang Gao's impatience with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, don't worry, sit down first and have tea with me."

"Still eating tea?? If we don't think about it, we will have to eat dirt behind the Mo family!"

"Hahaha, not really."

"You should read this article first. I wrote it recently."

Liu An asked someone to take out a few pieces of paper and put them in front of him. Wang Gao sat down suspiciously, picked up the paper in front of him, and looked down at it.

The grief and indignation on Wang Gao's face froze in an instant, he stared blankly at the content in his hand, and read it several times.

"This is."

"This is my Huang Lao's theory of basic science and applied science."

"I named it "Science"."

"This science is the Gexue of the past. Science is a statement formulated by my father."

"I, Mr. Huang, was the first to discover the subject of science. The Mohist school was just separated from us, and it is still ours in essence. Why do you worry about the Mohist school coming up with new theories?"

Liu An said with a smile.

"Instead of arguing with them, it's better to help them improve their knowledge. After all, it's our own stuff. We should do a favor."

Wang Gao was dumbfounded, good guy, you copied really fast!

As soon as he finished speaking, you copied it and incorporated it into Huang Lao's ideological system.

Suddenly, Wang Gao felt that those Mohists were not so hateful anymore.

"This knowledge is actually not bad"

"Of course, the prince doesn't have to think of ways to hinder the Mo family. Instead, he wants to help the Mo family more and let them produce more good things. Only in this way can I, Mr. Huang, go further. What do you think?"

Wang Gao laughed lightly, "Your Highness is right! This Chen Tao is a sage, and he can actually carry forward my Huang Lao's academics to this extent!"

Seeing Wang Gao being so upbeat, Liu An couldn't help laughing, and then he said seriously: "My lord, I want to write a book, and this is just one of the contents. The book I want to write will be the Huang-Lao school of thought." The general chapter covers everything, and summarizes the essence and connotation of all schools of thought. Once this book comes out, it will completely make Huang Lao the country of the Han Dynasty, and all schools of thought will become my Huang Lao’s help. The better their knowledge, I Please go back and tell those people, let them not compete with any school of thought, and go all out to help them develop their own knowledge."

Wang Gao was a little excited, and hurriedly asked: "Have you decided on the name for this book?"

""The Great Han Honglie""

"Brother, what the Mohists said is quite right. The principles of the world must be applied to the world. Only such principles can be considered useful. Why can't we learn from them?"

Hu Wusheng frowned, and said with some seriousness: "Zhong Shu, you have gone astray. In learning, you don't mean to say who is good, so you just copy it directly. You want to go out of your own way to learn the essence of my Gongyang school. , even if you study for a lifetime, you may not be able to study it thoroughly, so why should you stare at other people's achievements?"

"The role of knowledge is practice. Good knowledge can be better practiced. If it can't be used for practice, why should I spend my whole life studying the theory of rams?!"

Dong Zhongshu said seriously: "Today's Mohism lacks political opinions, we can absorb their useful knowledge, make them a part of Confucianism, absorb them thoroughly, and make them a part of us"

"Zhongshu!!"

Hu Wusheng was a little angry, and he said displeasedly: "Have you read so many books on weekdays and haven't learned the most important truths? Mohism's knowledge of no king and no father is opposite to Confucianism. How can you absorb it?" Woolen cloth?"

"Isn't our current knowledge born after the sages borrowed from many schools of thought? Why can the sages learn from it, but we can't?"

"Then wait until you reach the height of the sages, and then think about it!"

After Hu Wusheng finished speaking angrily, he turned and left here.

The young Dong Zhongshu frowned and fell into deep thought again. Liu Ci couldn't understand what they were arguing at all, and just looked at them curiously.

Dong Zhongshu suddenly looked at him, "One day, I will prove that I am right!"

"Hai accepts all rivers. Confucianism can only become the most prominent knowledge in the world if it annexes all the schools, uses it for the king, and works hard for the world!!!"

Dong Zhongshu grabbed Liu Ci's hand suddenly, and said seriously: "One day, I will definitely swallow them all!!"

Liu Ci was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head and screamed:

"Help!! Dong Zhongshu is going to eat people!!!"
