"Can't you eat less wine?"

Cao Shu frowned and signaled the soldiers to help the drunk Liu Chang in. Liu Chang was big, so it took the elder's effort to get him into the palace. Liu Chang lay on the couch until he

Hum, Cao Shu shook her head helplessly and asked the soldiers to leave. She personally helped Liu Chang change his clothes and wiped his face with a towel. By the time Liu Chang fell asleep, Cao Shu was already out of breath.

Fan Qing rushed in quickly, "Sister!!"

Seeing the sleeping Liu Chang, Fan Qing was stunned for a moment, then frowned and cursed angrily: "This guy went to Wuding Tower again?"

"I heard that the Taiwei's son is here. He is hosting a banquet for his business."

Fan Qing muttered, "What serious business can he have... It's just a dirty business."

Among Liu Chang's three wives, Fan Qing was the only one who was the least polite to him. Because Fan Qing grew up with him since childhood, she only called him "Chang" and never called him "Your Majesty" until now.

Nowadays, she still dares to scold Chang and pinch him. Of course, Chang has finally stopped fighting back, but he often quarrels and gets into trouble. Fan Qing is not afraid of Liu Chang. If anything happens, she will complain to her aunt.

, my aunt is still very useful, always standing by her side and reprimanding Liu Chang.

"Why did you come to my place urgently?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, Shi ran away."

"What?!"

Cao Shu was shocked and asked hurriedly: "How could he run away? When did he run away? Did he send someone to catch him?"

"Sister, don't worry. This kid broke into the palace gate and ran a short distance when he was caught by the soldiers... His mother was beating him."

Cao Shu shook her head, her expression became even more sad. It was really not easy for her. She had to take care of so many children, and none of them were obedient. "I understand. I will go over to visit later. You should go back now and stop me."

Don't break the child!"

"Okay!"

Fan Qing left here with a smile.

Cao Shu ordered the attendants here to feed Liu Chang some hot soup later. When she was about to go out, she was stopped by Liu An who appeared out of nowhere.

"Mom!!"

"Keep your voice down! What happened?"

Liu An looked a little nervous, looked around and asked, "Isn't father here?"

"Your father is asleep. If you have anything to say, please tell me! I have something urgent to do."

Liu An then complained: "Mom, Lu Jia rejected my assessment several times and refused to pass. He is a headstrong person who only believes in what he knows and is completely unwilling to trust me. I

No matter what you say, it's useless. I can't tell my father... Can you take the time to say a few words to my father? Lu Jia doesn't take hard and soft words. I really can't convince him... When you tell my father,

Don’t say that I asked you to say it, just say that you are curious..."

"Shuzi, Mr. Lu is a well-known scholar in the country and a famous minister in the court. How can you be rude to him? Besides, since he said no, he must have his reasons..."

"Mom, he refuses because his knowledge is different from mine. Please tell my father..."

Liu An was very anxious. Although Lu Jia agreed to let him participate, he always objected to his proposal, which was just to select some county officials. The old man made it like selecting three officials. He and the sages worked out it several times.

All the contents of the assessment were rejected by this old man, and he even threatened that there was no one in his team of talented people. You must know that Liu An himself is the most outstanding disciple of Huang Lao's new generation, and the other talented people are also all

The sages who were carefully selected by Liu Chang and came from Imperial College were all elites of Huang Lao. How could they be so humiliated by this guy?

But, this old man really has something. You can't talk him out, you can't beat him. He was a lobbyist, and just by opening his mouth, Liu An and the others were speechless and covered their faces.

Go, this old man's martial arts skills are also surprisingly high. Liu An's Meng was furious when he saw this old man humiliating the prince, so he decided to imitate Emperor Gao and give the old man a hard blow, but he just drew his sword.

When he came, the old man hit him with a scabbard on his head, and Ju Meng was carried to the hospital on the spot. If the other party hadn't

The sword was unsheathed, and now Liu An and the others were ready to eat.

Liu An was in trouble. His knowledge, which he was usually proud of, was vulnerable to this old man.

As Xunzi's favorite disciple, he was a ruthless person in Confucianism, Legalism, and Huang Lao. Fuqiu Bo admitted that he was the one with the highest knowledge of Confucian classics among Xunzi's current disciples. Although Liu An was also a ruthless person, he was young after all.

It is still too difficult for people of Fuqiubo and Lu Jia's level to confront each other.

Liu An has read a lot of books, but the other person has read more, and his knowledge blind spots are touched upon when he opens his mouth.

How can one of these incompetent old scholars be better at fighting than the other?

Not long ago, Lu Jia, Fu Qiu Bo, Gong Yang Shou and others entangled a large group of Confucians for an outing outside the city to discuss knowledge. When they came back, they brought back a large number of prey, including wild boars and bears, and that

A wild boar was stabbed to death with a spear, and it is said that it also encountered a tiger, but because the tiger was pregnant, these great scholars kindly let it go...

When Liu An heard about this, the first thing he thought of was that his father was not good at employing people. If he had known earlier, he should have sent these people to Longxi to exchange knowledge. Why would he need his father to lead his own troops? Those so-called giants of Longxi

Kou, if he met these great scholars, he would be surrendered on the spot.

Apart from anything else, among these Confucian scholars, even the old man who is over sixty years old and can still kill wild boars with a spear, it is a pity to let him become a great Confucian scholar. He should be sent directly to Xiting Kingdom to become a Taiwei!!!

There is actually an academic dispute between Liu An and Lu Jia. Liu An is the direct descendant of Huang Lao, while Lu Jia represents the recent rise of Confucianism. Although the old man has studied all kinds of knowledge, he is still a Confucian master in essence.

The Confucian leader of the generation is of course our elder...actually it is Jia Yi. Although the elder's knowledge is indeed very remarkable, he once debated hundreds of schools with Fuqiu Bo, leaving the hundreds of schools speechless and killing each other, but Jia Yi's knowledge

Still relatively high...

But speaking of the current situation, Mr. Huang is somewhat unable to defeat Confucianism... The main reason why Mr. Huang cannot defeat Confucianism is that Gai Gong is too old and unable to stand up.

Liu An's face was filled with grievances, and he looked at his mother pitifully. Although Cao Shu was very strict with him, she could not see the expression on her son's face. She sighed, "Okay, okay, I will tell your father a few words. You

Get out of the way. If you don’t get out of the way, you will lose one of your brothers..."

"ah???"

When Cao Shu hurriedly arrived at the other hall, Liu Ci was already crying and howling after being beaten. When he saw Cao Shu coming, he cried and shouted: "Mom! Why did you come here?!"

Yong'e's face was full of grief and anger, holding a wooden stick, beating and cursing, while Liu Liang on the side was trembling with fear and eating his hands nervously.

"alright!"

Cao Shu scolded, and Yong'e finally stopped her hand, and then looked at Cao Shu aggrievedly, with tears in her eyes, "Sister, you don't know, this guy really scared me to death... He just..."

"I understand! What problem can spanking solve? How many times have I told you that you can't always spank your children..."

Cao Shu said and carefully picked up Liu Ci. Liu Ci began to cry and complain, "She won't listen to you. As soon as you leave, she will beat me again... I want to go to my own vassal state."

, I will return to Dai Kingdom tomorrow to become the king!! "

"You too!! Who asked you to run away? Why are we so worried?"

Cao Shu also scolded him a few words, and Liu Ci immediately stopped making trouble and stopped crying, just lowering his head.

"This time, I have to tell your father!"

"Ah?! Mom, don't do it!!"

"If you dare to run the first time, you will definitely run the second time. I have to tell your father!"

"Mom, I will never run away again. Seriously, I swear on the honor of my elder brother!!"

Cao Shu looked at the dolls in front of her and felt tired.

At this moment, Liu Chang, who was drinking hot soup, looked around and shouted in a daze: "Shu!! Shu!! Where is my underwear?"

………

During this period of time, it was not only Cao's mother who suffered the most in Chang'an City, but also Chao Cuo.

Chao Cuo is not afraid of any punishment, someone like him

A person will not regret even if he is cut in half, but there are two things he hates the most. The first thing is that the princes and kings are strong, and the second thing is that someone delays him from doing business, and now, it is obvious that he belongs to the second thing.

For Chao Cuo, who pursues excessive efficiency, inviting him to the court from time to time and not letting him do things is simply more uncomfortable than killing him.

"Zhang Shizhi!! What grudge do I have against you?! You want to target me like this again and again?!"

Chao Cuo was looked at by the two soldiers, but he still roared angrily, almost spitting on Zhang Shizhi's face opposite him, but Zhang Shizhi stood still and did not pay attention to the angry Chao Cuo at all.

, he asked calmly: "When you were regulating the river, you once reported that you wanted to relocate 23,460 people, but after the temple gave permission, you secretly added 2,100 people? Is it true?"

"

"What big deal is this? I did it, I pulled those people out and buried them alive!! What do you want?!"

Chao Cuo felt extremely sad and angry.

Zhang Shizhi said solemnly: "The temple must provide relief and subsidies to the migrating people. If you move more people, these people will not get relief. What is the difference between this and burying them alive?! Two thousand one hundred

This person is kicked out by you privately without any protection. This is a very serious crime on your part. You must tell the truth truthfully, otherwise, you will only die!! "

"Stop pretending here. Go and find out. If one of those relocated dies, you can chop off my head now! If not, let Nai Gong out! Nai Gong has important matters!!"

"Don't worry, we have sent people to investigate. If someone dies because of you, you will be treated as murder."

Chao Cuo gritted his teeth and asked in a cold voice: "I always thought you were an upright person, but I didn't expect that you would flatter others to murder virtuous ministers? Are you determined to be a hawk for Qu Ni and Huai Yin?!"

"I'm not someone's eagle dog. I just received the impeachment. It's about you harming the people. Since someone is impeaching you, I must take care of it!"

"You idiot!! This is someone using you to target me!!"

"You are already at fault, so how can you say you are being targeted?! I just act according to the law."

Chao Cuo opened his mouth several times and wanted to curse, but he held back. It was useless to this guy. In the whole temple, Chao Cuo and Zhang Shizhi were probably the same iron-headed boys with unrepentant characters.
