Chapter 424: The Prestige of the Prime Minister(1/2)

"Shuzi!"

Liu Chang threw the article written by Liu An on the ground, looking very unhappy.

Liu An was a little shocked. His father's requirements were so high?

He also worked hard on this article, using various simple allusions to convey various moral thoughts, such as filial piety, amity, trust, loyalty, etc. according to his father's requirements. Liu An felt that he had written the essence, so he

Now if you take it to Zhidu, you can publish it directly without any modifications.

But even articles of this level were not taken seriously by Liu Chang.

Looking at his angry father, Liu An explained helplessly: "Father, you don't understand, right? Let me explain it to you..."

"fart!"

"Who asked you to write such an article? Did I ask you to come here to learn? If I need such a thing, why don't I just let Fu Qiubo and Lu Jia come? Is your article still good?

Can you pass them?"

"That's hard to say... If it's about Taoism, I won't be afraid of Duke Fuqiu..."

Liu An made a point according to the rules, but facing his father's darkened face, he still knew enough not to continue.

"That's why I want to get involved. Fu Qiubo and the others want to use the Analects for enlightenment, and Wang Sheng and the others say to use the Tao Te Ching... Is this something that can be used to enlighten children? I just learned Chinese characters.

It’s just nonsense to learn such difficult knowledge.”

"People like Zhou Chang and Lu Jia also treat this matter as learning. These literati just don't understand simple and easy-to-use principles!"

Liu An understood, and he asked suspiciously: "Father, do you think it's too complicated? But this is already very simple and rough..."

"What's so simple? Why do you use so many obscure allusions?"

"Let me tell you, write after you listen!"

"only."

Liu Chang hesitated for a moment and said: "We are going to write dozens of anecdotes in the form of stories so that children can happily learn them instead of memorizing these allusions. These allusions can be taught later...

.I am a man who governs the country with filial piety, so for this first story, let’s choose a story about filial piety!”

"For this first article, why not let the birds feed you back?"

"Ah? Father, did you say that the crow feeds back? But this is just a folk rumor, with no factual basis. My son once..."

"What's important is whether there is a basis for it? What's important is whether you can experience filial piety!"

Liu An had no choice but to nod and coo in a low voice.

"Let's write...just write about a certain bird. When it was young, the big bird often came to feed it. When the big bird got old and couldn't fly, it began to feed its parents...Write it happily. Okay, hurry up.

Write! Don’t be too cumbersome, the simpler the better!”

Liu An started writing and wrote four or five articles in a row. Liu Chang was not satisfied and always thought it was too complicated. Until the sixth article, Liu Chang read it carefully for a long time and asked Liu Bo to be called over and handed it over.

He came to see it. For Liu Bo, who had just received enlightenment, the story was quite good. He read it carefully and could only understand a few new words, but he could probably understand the meaning.

Liu Chang then nodded with satisfaction, OK, let’s write it at this level!

Liu An originally wanted to include a few real events, such as Ji Bu during the dynasty, who could be used as a model of trust, and himself, who could also be used as a model of filial piety.

However, Liu Chang still used animals as the main theme because of simplicity.

It was busy in the evening, and the arrival of Fan Qing and Yong'e interrupted the important event between father and son. By this time, Liu An was already dizzy, and his mind was full of chickens, ducks, and puppies.

Liu An never dreamed that one day he would actually write something like this. The simple and crude way of preaching was outrageous.

You could at least ask me to use an allusion, but if it doesn’t work, you could ask me to polish it a little bit!

What are these?

Liu An only felt that he had suffered a kind of humiliation. I treat Huang Lao, and you asked me to write this??

Queen Cao was not in the palace. Cao Cheng's wife gave birth to another child for him, and Queen Cao went to see her daughter.

Fan Qing and Yong E were a little curious when they saw various papers piled around the father and son.

It's rare that the father and son can live in harmony without actually getting into a fight.

Today, Cao Shu is not at home, so these guys in the palace have completely let themselves go.

"An?? What are you doing??"

Fan Qing smiled and sat next to Liu Chang, curiously looking at the papers on the ground.

Liu Chang said proudly: "Anke and I have done a great thing. These are all enlightenment materials, and they were created by the joint efforts of our father and son!"

Liu An shook his head hastily, "No, no, this is all my father's credit."

Liu Chang said displeasedly: "How can I still take the credit from my own children? Don't worry! I will never covet your credit!"

"No, no, Father, everyone in the world knows that you are proficient in mathematics, but they don't know about your talent in writing articles. If I come forward, I'm afraid they will think that this is my credit, and my son is just ghostwriting for you.

That’s all, I beg my father, please don’t tell others that this is what I wrote!”

Liu An earnestly bowed to Liu Chang.

Seeing the child being so sensible, Liu Chang felt a little touched.

My son has finally grown up and knows how to think about his father.

Liu Chang looked at Fan Qing and Yong E and asked curiously: "By the way, why haven't I seen you all day? With such a heavy snowstorm, where have you been?"

"We went to the servant to borrow a horse to ride on!"

"Hahaha, I won!"

Fan Qing said proudly, and Yong'e glanced at her and said, "That's not because I am ill..."

Everyone here explained very well what "Cao Shu is not at home today" means.

While she was out, the group did a lot of "fighting" things, and they were still looking very proud at this moment.

Liu Chang grinned and said: "Why go outside to compete in riding skills? We can go directly to the inner room..."

"Ahem."

Fan Qing gestured to Liu An, and Liu Chang just stopped talking and happily picked up the paper in front of him, "Come on, take a look! This is what Liu An wrote!"

Liu An was shocked and failed to dissuade him, so he stood up in a hurry.

"Father, I'm going to see my eldest mother first..."

Liu An fled here quickly.

Fan Qing and Yong E, on the other hand, were seriously appreciating Liu An's article.

"Wow, he writes so well!"

"The pony crossing the river is the best written one!"

"No, this crow's feedback is the best!"

In the Houde Hall, several people started a heated discussion.

Liu An stayed at Changle Palace that day and couldn't sleep the whole night.

The next day, as soon as he got up and went out, he met Lu Lu who came to take him to Houde Hall.

Looking at Lu Lu with a smile on his face, Liu An cleared his throat and hurriedly put on a smile, "Father Zhong, my father and I have agreed to go to him in the evening... I will go to class first so as not to be delayed.

Studies..."

It's a pity that the only good thing about the unreliable father Zhong in front of him is that he listens to Liu Chang's words.

Lu Lu hurriedly stopped Liu An who was about to leave, and said with a smile: "Prince, don't worry, your majesty has already asked for leave for you from Wang Gong and Sima Gong. You don't have to worry... They all know that you want to write for your majesty."

I was very happy with the textbook, and said that it would allow you to write with peace of mind, without having to worry about your studies, and even asked for an original text to read..."

Liu An's face gradually became desperate.

"But I'm just a ghostwriter..."

"Your Highness doesn't know that because of your filial piety, His Majesty has told the minister about this matter and said that he will never take the credit from His Highness."

Liu An appeared in front of Liu Chang with a dull expression. At this moment, he had lost all his fighting spirit to resist.

It was completely reduced to a pen in Liu Chang's hands.

Whatever Liu Chang says, he writes. All kinds of articles that Liu An thinks are absurd, funny, stupid and crude are constantly taking shape in his hands. For a quasi-big man who studies the nature of the universe all day long, it is very difficult to write such articles.

Articles are simply a kind of torture for the soul. Historically, Liu An's knowledge, strictly speaking, belongs to the category of philosophers and thinkers. Of course, he can also be regarded as a litterateur, but literature is just an auxiliary tool.

After writing a lot of fairy tales and bedtime stories, Liu An was finally relieved.

In total, he wrote more than thirty articles for Liu Chang. These articles were fabricated by Liu Chang and written by Liu An.

It's a powerful alliance between the two sides, although Liu An doesn't think so.

Soon, Zhou Chang appeared in the Hall of Houde. Looking at the thick paper in Liu Chang's hand, although he didn't believe that His Majesty could write anything good, he still decided to watch it carefully and followed Zhou Chang.

There are also Lu Jia and a large group of scholars responsible for compiling teaching materials. These people are either ministers or everyone. They gathered this time to see how your majesty's teaching materials are. If they don't work, they will compile their own textbooks.

I gave that letter to Your Majesty for reading.
To be continued...
