Chapter 7 Thinking of Guarding the Emperor's Treat
Chapter 7 Thoughts on guarding the emperor’s treat ()
Liu Yan's words surprised Liu Zhang. In previous readings, it was said that the emperor was very wary of the clan. Why did the clan in the Han Dynasty seem to have so much power? This is why Liu Zhang didn't understand! The system of prefectures and states in the Han Dynasty was actually a feudal system. However, the Han Dynasty's clan system was actually a feudal system.
The dynasty entrusted all the prefectures and states to the clan members instead of meritorious officials. This led to the oath that non-Liu family members could not be granted the title of king, and non-contributors could not be granted the title of marquis.
In Liu Bang's view, his own relatives are always more reliable than outsiders! It's a pity that Liu Bang forgot that people's greed is infinite. After becoming the king, all the clan members of the Han Dynasty wanted to go further. With the same ancestor and the same bloodline, why should you be born?
I will be the emperor and prince when I come down. I can only kowtow to others as a king and a marquis? Ji Yu whispered: "Dad, this is Luoyang, the capital of the country. Although we are clan members of the Han Dynasty, we can't go too far! In case of offending
It would be bad if you kill any powerful person!"
Liu Yan laughed loudly and said: "There is only one powerful person today, and that is Cao Jie! As long as you don't offend Cao Jie, others can offend you! As for the Cao family members, you only need to report the identity and identity of the Han family members.
Your father and my reputation can probably turn a fight into friendship! Of course, if I meet someone who doesn't look at me, I'll beat him up. At worst, I'll pull this old face off and apologize to Cao Jie! In short, don't suffer!"
If Dou Wu was still alive, Liu Yan would never warn his son like this, because Dou Wu held great power. Even if he died, his power could still be transferred to his son, and he might usurp the throne. The Han clan clan still held great power.
Cao Jie is not very valuable in the eyes of the general. Cao Jie is a eunuch, and even if he has a fake son, he cannot inherit his career. Cao Jie became a eunuch himself, and he never wanted the outstanding young people in his clan to also become eunuchs, and those
If a stupid person gets into the palace, he might be in trouble! As for finding another eunuch to succeed him, it has nothing to do with his clan. People are bound to die, and in order to ensure that the clan survives after death, Cao Jie
He would try his best to win over capable people and clan members. In Liu Yan's view, he was worthy of being wined over and valued by Cao Jie. Thinking of this, Liu Yan was a little proud!
Liu Zhang looked at Liu Yan with a black line. He was indeed a prince of the late Han Dynasty. Although he was dressed as a scholar, he was prone to violence. However, Liu Zhang looked at his little arms and legs and said, "Dad, I'm the only one who won't get beaten."
That’s great, but you still expect to beat someone up?”
"Well, this is a problem!" Liu Yan then remembered that his youngest son was only five years old this year, but he was a little immature. He was still a child after all. Liu Yan thought for a while and said: "I will find some guards for you first, and then
I personally teach you the Six Arts of a Gentleman. Although my swordsmanship cannot be used for fighting on the battlefield, it is more than enough for self-protection. With your status, you don’t need to go into battle to kill the enemy, you only need to guard against someone secretly causing harm!"
Even though Liu Yan was a scribe, the scribes of the Han Dynasty were no better than the scribes of the Song and Ming dynasties. They were gentlemen who were skilled in all six arts. What's more, they were also good at swordsmanship. Being mounted as a general and dismounted as a prime minister were what the scribes of the Han Dynasty most yearned for.
, and Liu Yan also has good swordsmanship. Of course, Liu Yan's swordsmanship can be used against ordinary people, but against real generals and warriors, it is courting death! However, Liu Zhang looks down on his father's martial arts. After all, troubled times are coming.
, it’s important to be more powerful. If you can train to the level of Lu Bu, Liu Zhang will never object!
"Dad!" Liu Zhang couldn't help but be touched when he saw Liu Yan standing at the gate of the city and thinking about his son's safety. However, others' instructions made him very unhappy. He pulled Liu Yan and said: "Dad, these
Question, should we go home and study it?"
Liu Yan came back to his senses and saw everyone around him looking at him like a country bumpkin. He suddenly blushed. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Well! Let's talk about it when we get home!"
"Hey! Luoyang! I, Liu Zhang, and Liu Jiyu are here!" Liu Zhang shouted like a child and rushed into Luoyang City, even though he was a child! Luoyang is a big city and there are many pedestrians on the road. Ji Yu's shout
It made many people despise him. However, when everyone looked back, they saw that the person who made the sound was a young child. Whether they were traffickers or lackeys or rich bureaucrats in rich clothes, they all smiled.
"Is this Mr. Zongzheng here?" I have to say that Cao Jie's arrangements were very thoughtful. There was already a small yellow gate waiting for Liu Yan at the city gate. In Luoyang, every inch of land is precious, and even though Liu Yan is the prefect,
But the family is not rich. It is not easy to buy a house in Luoyang City! However, Liu Yan does not need to worry about it now. Cao Jie has prepared the house and is in the Dongshi near the palace.
China has paid attention to symmetry since ancient times, so the city is also divided into east and west. The first position is the one facing south, the left is top, the right is bottom, and the last one is south and north. According to the ranking, the east side of the city is the East Market.
They are all places where ministers and important ministers live, and the west of the city, which is the West Market, is where the common people live! Generally, the Minister of Punishment is also in the West Market, probably to scare the monkeys!
After entering the city, Liu Yan separated from his family. He wanted to go to the palace to thank him, but Liu Zhang and others, led by Xiao Huangmen, came to the other courtyard where Cao Jie sent him. Not to mention, Cao Jie was quite good at life.
The house given to him was very spacious, and it seemed even bigger than the house Liu Yan bought in Nanyang. You must know that in the capital, it is different from other places, and at what level you live in a spacious house. Although Liu Yan is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, as long as he is not
Living in a palace of the same size as the emperor would be fine, but with the housing prices in Luoyang, Liu Yan couldn't really afford such a big house. However, this house belonged to the imperial court of Cao Jie
It was given in name, but Liu Yan didn't need to be too grateful, because after Liu Yan's death, the house would be taken back by the court.
Moving to a new home is hectic, especially for such a big house. Although Ji Yu does not need to do these tasks, he needs to watch from the side and tell the servants how to arrange them. Of course, this is because Liu Zhang is still young, so it is useless
He is a familiar domestic slave, otherwise he wouldn’t have to worry about these things as someone would help him handle them properly.
After being busy for a long time, Liu Zhang looked at the time and saw that it was already afternoon. Although most people in the Han Dynasty only ate two meals, Liu Zhang retained the modern habit of eating three meals a day. Sometimes he even ate five meals, including late night snacks.
And afternoon tea. If I go to school, I wonder if he will provide recess meals!
Just when Liu Zhang found his mother and asked if it was time to start dinner, a servant came in with a small yellow door. Xiao Huangmen said to Mrs. Liu Yan: "Mrs. Zongzheng, your majesty has a decree to invite Mrs. Zongzheng and several young masters to come in."
Let’s go to the palace for a family banquet!” Ji Yu’s mother listened to the message from Xiao Huangmen and quickly took out some silver to reward him, and then asked Ji Yu and his three brothers to dress up and enter the palace for the banquet!
