I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 309: Picking a Character for Liu Ruyi
It was quite quiet in the living room.

The mellow and fragrant agarwood floats leisurely from the incense burner in the corner, which is refreshing and refreshing.

Neither of the two people sitting across from each other made a sound.

Chen Luo couldn't help but think about a question at this time.

If we compare the monarchs of China for thousands of years with each other, can we select the most perfect template?
Countless candidates passed through his mind, but he felt that they all had their own merits.

After all, wise kings in each era have their own advantages. What's more, different eras have different productivity and surrounding situations. Looking at just a few data will be biased.

However, I can still choose the right candidate by only looking at it from a few angles.

When it comes to the most suitable monarch to conquer the world, Li Shimin, who is top-notch in his ability to rule, accept advice, and govern, is undoubtedly the strongest model.

His decisive character is a plus.

If he were born in other troubled times, the probability of winning the world would be equally high.

When it comes to the monarch who is most suitable for foreign expansion, Chen Luo feels that Liu Che and Zhu Di have their own advantages, and they are good at different aspects.

Liu Che's ability to "draw cards" is outstanding. He has two of the three top generals in the entire Han Dynasty, and he can maximize the national power in the rear, even if the means used are a bit excessive, but if he doesn't do this, how can he support it? A large-scale national war.

Zhu Di went into battle personally, from Jingnan to the Five Northern Expeditions. Emperors like him who personally went into battle to fight against the enemy were not unique in history. It was also quite rare. But if it were other emperors, they would have completely cut off the enemy. Mongolian luck is not that easy.

However, these two people have one thing in common, and that is their extremely strong ambition to expand their territories.

Even if those enemies choose to escape or give in after being defeated, they will not give up there, but choose to continue attacking and completely eat away at the enemy's foothold.

As their enemy, there is only one end.

That is death.

As for the monarch who is most suitable for maintaining the throne, Chen Luo previously felt that both the Song and Ming dynasties had the masters of Zhongxing. Although they were a little arrogant externally, they managed the country well.

It wasn't until I saw Liu Heng's actions with my own eyes that I realized that his strength and reputation were seriously mismatched.

What is the real "Lord of the Keeper"?

You must know that this was still Liu Heng's weak power in the early stage, and many old officials in the court restricted his performance.

If he had succeeded to the throne legitimately from the beginning, he might have been able to save a few years and do more things he wanted to do.

Before Liu Heng, countless monarchs had used the posthumous title "Wen", but it truly fit the monarch perfectly and even gained brilliance because of the user. He was No. 1.

Sitting in front of him was Liu Ruyi. Under his guidance over the years, his character and abilities had greatly improved. He was now more stable and caring about the people than when he was young.

But compared to Liu Heng, that's far behind.

However, Liu Ruyi does not covet the throne at all now. He only has admiration for the current Liu Heng.

You must know that he knows very well that his and Liu Heng's identities have been swapped. It is estimated that he is still struggling for time, waiting for the batch of heroes sent to report illness or die of old age.

Liu Ruyi drank the tea in front of her, broke the silence and said: "Prime Minister, there are still two ten days until I reach the age of crown."

"Huh?" Chen Luo turned his head and responded with a smile, "Yes, time flies so fast. When you first came to Daidi, you were not even as high as my chest. I didn't expect you to grow so big in the blink of an eye. My beard and hair are also a lot whiter.”

11 years passed in a blink of an eye.

I have also reached the age where I know my destiny.

In these years, he basically stayed in Daiguo for more than ten months a year, and the number of times he returned to Yangxia was very few.

Therefore, Chen Luo was actually quite surprised by the changes in his sons.

When Chen Zhi grew up to ten years old, he wrote a letter to ask for his permission, and then set off for the Chu region to study martial arts with Xiang Yu.

After all, he was his son. When Xiang Yu taught him martial arts, he obviously had no secrets.

So when the "three-year appointment" came, Chen Zhi was in the period of physical growth. Not to mention his stature, his arms and waist and abdomen were getting stronger. In addition, he was learning kung fu from Xiang Yu and was practicing well.So after Xiang Qi fought with him dozens of times, he was defeated due to lack of physical strength.

It's just that in the more than a year since he arrived in Yingdu, he and Xiang Qi had already met each other and laughed away their grudges. The small grudges between the two of them as children had long been wiped out. Instead, they didn't know each other, and their relationship quickly warmed up. .

When Chen Zhi was 15 years old, Liu Le sent a letter and solemnly discussed with him the engagement between Zhi'er and Xiang Qi.

Both Chen Zhi and Xiang Qi are in love with each other. Is there anything else I can say?
So in the 22nd year of Han Dynasty, Chen Luo and Xiang Yu officially became in-laws.

Obviously, Xiang Yu was quite satisfied with his son-in-law. He often praised Chen Luo in his letters, "You are [-]% as brave as me and have learned [-]% of my martial arts."

This evaluation is quite high, and it is equivalent to announcing that the whole big man can defeat Chen Zhi head-on, but I am afraid it can only be done with one hand.

Compared to his elder brother, Chen Lu is somewhat less famous.

Of course, Chen Luo's concern for his youngest son has not diminished.

Compared with Zhier, who is praised by everyone, Chen Lu's talent is revealed in inadvertent places.

Among the Mohist disciples, Chen Lu did not know when he became the most famous among the younger generation.

At first, Chen Luo thought this had something to do with him. After all, as a being who was nominally close to the Mohist giant, it was very easy for Chen Lu to take advantage of his father's influence.

However, when he went to find out more about it, he found that Chen Lu did it entirely by relying on his own strength.

From the 20th year of the Han Dynasty to the 25th year of the Han Dynasty, the Mohists contributed 190 improvement plans in agricultural tools, 73 of which were proposed by Chen Lu, more than one-third.

This is only the improvement of agricultural tools.

You must know that Mohism currently has 23 main research directions, and Chen Lu has made achievements in sixteen directions.

With such amazing talent and beauty, Chen Luo even had doubts.

Is there someone who wants to use his youngest son as a pawn to publish these results through him, thereby taking control of his lifeline? When Chen Lu takes control of the Mo family in the future, that person will naturally become the mastermind behind the scenes.

For this reason, he specifically asked Liu Ruyi for leave in his free time and secretly returned to Yangxia.

When Chen Luo saw Chen Lu wearing gray cloth clothes with a lot of strange tools beside him, walking back and forth among piles of wood and iron stones, he completely believed that those improvement suggestions were put forward by Lu Er.

I saw ingenuity in him.

You must know that a craftsman with ingenuity will never allow his creations to be interfered with by others, let alone his reputation be tarnished.What's more, many disciples of the Mo family have said that Chen Lu has surpassed many old Qin Mo in forging techniques, and is even better than the younger generation.

Although Chen Lu is not very old, basically all the younger generation disciples of the Mo family respectfully call him senior brother.

And what makes Chen Luo most happy is that his second son does not just imitate his predecessors, but also blazes his own path.

Without your own innovation ability, you will only be a good craftsman until your death, and you will never be able to bear the title of master.

Chen Lu began to improve his previous craftsmanship when he was still young, and it was obvious that he had broken out of the mold.

For this youngest son, he has nothing to worry about. If there are no accidents in the future, he will choose to hand over the Mo family to Chen Lu and let him control this powerful and secretive force.

Chen Luo was not worried about Lu Er's future development, but instead worried about his marriage.

Chen Lu spent every day in his workshop, dealing with wood and tools all day long. Not to mention contacting women, the scope of his interactions with people was limited to relatives and Mohist disciples.

In future generations, this will not just be a regular glue guy who stays at home all day long, assembles a Gundam model, puts it on his shelf, and then starts working on the next model.

However, what surprised Chen Luo was that Liu Le mentioned in the letter sent in the 22nd year of the Han Dynasty that Han Xuan, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Huaiyin, fell in love with Chen Lu and asked her father to come and propose marriage.

This almost shocked me.

According to the report of the Mohist caravan from Chu, Chen Lu's communication skills have not improved over the years, but have become more and more "homely". In addition to the outings arranged by the Mohist family for publicity activities, he did not even bother to leave the gate of the Hou Mansion.

The first thought that came to Chen Luo's mind was that Han Xin proposed this marriage proposal and wanted to marry his daughter into his family.

So he revised a letter and sent it to Huaiyin to persuade Han Xin.

I am married to Xiang Yu, but brother Han, there is no need for you to be jealous. Not all of my sons are as good as me. Lu'er's temperament is not that good. I'm afraid that I will wrong Xuan'er when the time comes.

In short, he wrote a lot, mainly to persuade Han Xin not to interfere too much in the marriage of his younger generation. This would be detrimental to their development and could easily lead to marital tragedy. By then, both Han Xin's daughter and his own son would become victims.

Han Xin's reply was simple.

This was purely his daughter Han Xuan's own idea, and he had no involvement.

Liu Lena sent a new letter, telling him that Chen Lu had agreed.

It wasn't until their official wedding that Chen Luo understood the cause and effect.

He had originally asked Han Xin to escort Liu Le and his two sons to Yangxia. Chen Lu and Han Xuan were accompanying him on the way. His son relied on his ingenuity to carve wooden flowers, wooden phoenixes, and wooden rabbits for Han Xuan...

There is even a wooden portrait of Han Xuan as a child, which is so lifelike.

At the wedding, she showed two entire small wooden boxes, which made Chen Luo stunned.

It turns out that his son actually attracted people with his skills?

After Chen Lu and Han Xuan got married, Chen Luo had nothing to worry about in Yangxia.

After all, the wives of his two sons are virtuous and virtuous, and each has a clear goal in life. Is there anything else he needs to worry about?
Therefore, he stayed in Daidi and spent more thought on this Daiwang.

At this time, Liu Ruyi suddenly said: "When I grow up to be crowned, can the Prime Minister choose my calligraphy for me?"

He made this request after careful consideration.

After Qi Ji passed away, Chen Luo became the only elder he recognized.

No matter which aspect, I gave myself enough care.

In fact, deep down in Liu Ruyi's heart, he takes Chen Luo as an example and learns from Chen Luo in everything.

Hearing his words, Chen Luo was startled for a moment, and then a warmth surged in his heart.

You must know that in the pre-Qin period, choosing characters was not popular, even though many nobles did not have their own characters.

On the contrary, in the past ten years after the founding of the Han Dynasty, the trend of choosing Chinese characters has become popular. Most of the children of the Chehou family will choose another first name when they grow up. Even ordinary merchants, in order to be arty, will also choose a second character. will do so.

After you have your own "word", it would be impolite for outsiders to call you by your first name.

But not everyone can give this "word" to them. Only an elder or a person of high moral standing can be qualified.

Among Chen Luo's two sons, Chen Zhi had already reached the crown. He named him "Zhengqu", which originated from "Zhengqu means straightness, and joining together means benevolence" in "Zuo Zhuan".

Chen Lu is still a little behind in age, but he has also prepared a character for him, and when the time comes, he will call him "Ruoyu".

Although there is no current allusion of "great courage is like cowardice, great wisdom is like foolishness", Chen Luo can still give a corresponding explanation. There is a saying in "Tao Te Ching", "Brightness is like humiliation, generosity has no corners, great tools are easy to achieve, and elephants are invisible. Great sound and sound."

Then if we say that great wisdom is like foolishness, it still seems like that.

But this actually expresses Chen Luo's expectations.

After all, this youngest son surprised me once in a major relationship matter. I didn't expect that he would actually start "laying out" at the age of six to win the heart of his future partner.

In the future of his life, Chen Luo, an old father, naturally hopes that he can keep it up and has far-reaching considerations. Outsiders think that he behaves clumsily, but he is actually already on the fifth floor.

Liu Ruyi's request reminded Chen Luo of some past events.

When Daze Township rose up in rebellion and led the army to attack Chen County, he named himself "Jiang Ning". It can be said that he had racked his brains for fear that something would go wrong.

Unexpectedly, Chen Sheng ran over and wanted Chen Luo to help him pick up the words.

At that time, I honestly chose to re-enact history and give the other party a name as she. If it were changed now, I might have to do some tricks.

After all, Chen Luo used to be a complete novice in the field of word picking. Now, even if he doesn't have deep research, he can't make a joke. At least the words he gave his two sons are decent.

Therefore, when Liu Ruyi asked me to choose a word, even if there was no reference in history, I would not show any cowardice.

What's more, Liu Ruyi made this request, which proves that he must have carefully considered before choosing to let himself choose the words for him, and he had to use the words he had left for most of his life.

This shows that what he has spent all these years teaching is not a white-eyed wolf.

So Chen Luo took a deep breath, and under Liu Ruyi's expectant gaze, he nodded with a smile and said, "Of course it's okay."
