Thousand-year-old family: its rise began with Shang Yang’s reforms

Chapter 247 Are you sure you want to fight the Chen family?
Liu Bang's expression was gloomy, and he was sitting in Changle Palace with an uncertain expression.

This memorial was drafted by him under his command, and it was in line with his inner thoughts.

It's just that he's a little unsure.

Do you really want to do this?

What he was hesitating about was not whether to issue the edict, but whether to really add "Chen".

This is not a good thing for Chen.

It’s normal for the Liu family to be crowned king, so can you, the Chen family, be crowned king? And can he stand side by side with Liu?

This is Chen's roasting on the fire.

but.
Liu Bang gave a faint laugh at the end and whispered: "That's all."

He picked up the pen in his hand and crossed out the sentence "Guandu Chen Family" in the memorial. Liu Bang's eyes were a little more tender, and he sighed softly: "The world."

The first choice is "Huang Lao's School".

Yes.

"Then I hope you won't disappoint me."

"It's just like the cockroaches in the ground."

"In the past, there was an agreement between King Zhaoxiang and the Chen family. Can there be an agreement between me and the Chen family today?"

Chen Ye looked at the words on the silk in Chen Bi's hand outside the peach blossom garden, and he was also dumbfounded.

Chen Bi's mouth curved, and he put the silk in his hand on the table, with an inexplicable smile flashing across his face: "A political fight with the Chen family?"

There was actually a hint of laughter in his eyes.

When the moonlight fell on the cheek of the man behind, a young man with a handsome but gloomy face was revealed. His expression remained unchanged, and his whole person was slightly gloomy.

"Perhaps when the day comes when the Han Dynasty is about to perish, the Chen family may be able to help the Han Dynasty as well as the Qin State?"

In the third year of the Qin Dynasty, the Huang-Lao theory promulgated by the emperor became even more biased.

Even the ministers in the court, including the prime minister, began to favor Huang Lao's "rule by inaction" approach.

"Is it?"

After the war in the world, although it did not suffer too much damage due to the Qin State, it still needed to recuperate.

After arriving in Chang'an City this time, Kong Yun originally planned to meet the emperor directly, then promote Confucianism, and see if he could fool the emperor into accepting Confucianism as orthodox, but he failed.

The "Huang-Lao School", which had been suppressed by Confucianism, Legalism, Mo and Chen, finally raised its head again in the early Han Dynasty, stood on top of many theories, and won the favor of the emperor.

"Since the time of King Qin Huiwen, a group of people have gathered together and have been fighting against the Chen family, and even caused the Chen family to suffer a lot of losses several times."

"We are familiar with each other when we fight against Mr. Chen!"

They want to make their ancestors "saints". Only in this way can their "Confucianism" embark on the only path.

Liu Bang's mouth was filled with some thoughts and a smile.

Yes.

The quiet light covers the quiet Chang'an City like a curtain, and the shadows in the darkness flow slowly.

And in the peach blossom garden

"Disgusting."

There was a bit of arrogance on Kong Yun's face. If he hadn't come to Chang'an City this time to make his ancestors famous and fulfill their ancestors' wishes, how could he get together with this group of people?
Although the Kong family at this time did not have the supremacy of later generations, it had slowly begun to develop its own power in secret.

In a quiet corner, two figures were walking around randomly. The person in front led the people behind and said with a smile: "Although the Chen family is powerful, we are not afraid of them."

In the second year of the Qin Dynasty, when the emperor had just unified the world, he promulgated the "Three Policies for Peace of the People" in order to recuperate and recuperate, including policies such as releasing corvees, releasing soldiers to return home, and releasing people who had become slaves due to war and famine to return home.

There was a mention of "Kong Yun" recorded on the silk. This Kong Yun seemed to have joined some kind of "alliance to attack Chen" and intended to use various means to overthrow the Chen family in the court.

At this time, Chen Bi was sitting in Anju Palace, looking at the silk in his hand with an incomprehensible expression.

Chen Bi pressed his forehead and said, "It's been so many years, why haven't these people given up yet?"

It records some changes in the court during these days, and also records some of "Kong Yun's" every move after arriving in Chang'an City, including some extremely hidden things.

He put down his pen again.

In this regard, whether it is the ideas adhered to by the Chen family, the ideas adhered to by Confucianism, or even the ideas of Legalism, they are no longer the first choice of a dynasty and emperor.

The moon slowly floated into the sky, escaping a little light.

The man patted his chest and said very confidently: "Don't worry."

Liu Bang didn't want that day to appear, but he also wanted to have that day to appear.

Anju Gongfu
Outside the street, pedestrians were walking in a hurry, as if they were on some important mission.

"Why, a dynasty has passed, and this so-called "Alliance to Attack Chen" has not been disbanded yet?"

"Mr. Chen is quite professional in this regard."

This is something Kong Yun cannot tolerate.

To put it simply, the attack on Chen Zhimeng and Kong Yun was intended to fight against the Chen family.

but.
Kong Yun sneered. What he couldn't tolerate even more was the Chen family's power in the world and the situation where they were almost "covering the sky with one hand" in the court. Kong Yun was not worried even if he was temporarily oppressed by Mr. Huang.

After all, wars and famines will eventually pass, and when the world gradually enters a peaceful and prosperous era, the emperor will naturally no longer choose the so-called "Huang Lao's School". This is the inevitable choice of the times.

But Chen is different.
If Chen is not defeated at this time, then he will reach his peak in the future.
Confucius and Confucianism no longer have a foothold!

In the shadows, the door creaked, and the two walked in sideways. At this time, several people were already sitting in the courtyard waiting.

Compared with the tension on the "Attack Chen Alliance" side, the Anju Gongfu side was much more relaxed.

Chen Bi did not take the so-called "Alliance to Attack Chen" and Kong Yun seriously. Of course, he was not "underestimating the enemy". He had made all preparations, as long as the so-called "Alliance to Attack Chen" and Kong Yun took action. , and immediately suppressed it with thunderous means.

Tactically despise the enemy and strategically value the enemy.

This is what the ancestor of the Chen family once said. It is said that it was said by a great sage. The family heads and descendants of the Chen family in the past generations regard it as a golden rule.

No matter how weak and out-of-mind the opponent is, Chen will do his best.

In the palace of Mrs. Bo Ji
Liu Heng walked in cautiously, cleaned up the dust on his body, and then looked himself up and down. He found nothing wrong, so he walked in.

At this time, Mrs. Bo Ji was sitting in the hall waiting for his return.

"Mother, I'm back."

Liu Heng's voice was a little gentle. He looked at his mother sitting there and walked a little faster.

Mrs. Bo Ji smiled and pointed to the snacks in front of her: "Are you hungry?"

"Try it first. This is a snack given by your Majesty, Genfu. It seems to be a recipe treasured by the Chen family."

Liu Heng sat in front of Bo Ji and smiled. He picked up the snacks on the plate and ate them while sharing with his mother what he saw and heard today, including what Chen Bi taught today.

Bo Ji stretched out her hand and touched the top of Liu Heng's hair: "Heng'er, you and I don't want any great wealth, we just want peace." She sighed: "That position is really too dangerous."

"It's not something you and I can plot."

"Whether it's Liu Ruyi, who is favored by His Majesty, or Liu Ying, the eldest son, behind them is someone we, mother and son, cannot afford to offend."

A trace of inexplicable sadness flashed across Bo Ji's expression.

"This is the sorrow in the palace."

"Heng'er, do you resent your mother?"

Liu Heng raised his head, looked at his mother, and chuckled: "Mother, what are you talking about? How can your son resent you?"

He just held Bo Ji's hand: "What my son wants in his life is nothing more than peace."

Liu Heng said this, but there was a faint sigh in his heart.

There was some inexplicable sadness in his heart.

Liu Heng's character was born with a bit of benevolence. Of course, he had no intention of seeking that position, but sometimes he wanted to compete for the top spot in the world.

In his heart, he vaguely felt that whether Liu Ying ascended the throne or Liu Ruyi ascended the throne, it would not be a good thing for the capital of Guizhou in the world.

But at this time, the green bud in Liu Heng's heart had not yet grown, and it was not as strong as the emotion he felt for his mother, so he still wanted to stay silently, and according to what his mother said, wait until Liu Bang expressed his love for their mother and son. The person lost interest, and then left here with his mother and went to his own feudal country.

This is all Liu Heng's thoughts.

That supreme position was too far, too far for him.

Sigh.

The mother and son sit in the deep palace, relying on each other.

Changle Palace
The embroidered messengers in the audience were reporting on the situation they had learned, while Liu Bang, who was sitting behind the desk, had a flash of interest in his eyes.

"Oh?"

"Did they really say that?"

The embroidered messenger nodded slightly.

Only then did Liu Bang chuckle: "Bo Ji and Heng'er are just too careful."

He looked at the people next to him and asked: "Do you think Heng'er has talent? Just like the King of Chu in the past, he kept a low profile and bided his time? Or does he really want to hide his talent?"

"Is there really anyone in the world who is not interested in this position beneath me?"

Liu Bang didn't believe it, so he wanted to give it a try.

So, he said lightly: "To pass on my will, the king's excellent academic performance was praised by the young master, so I gave him three bolts of silk and a hundred gold. Bo Ji taught his children well, and gave him a bunch of dendrobium from the East China Sea."

Liu Bang's reward for Liu Heng and Bo Ji soon spread throughout the palace. Whether it was Lu Fei, Mrs. Qi Ji, or Mrs. Zhao Ji who had been paying attention to the Imperial College, they all showed a cruel look in the secret.

An idea came to them at the same time.

I actually forgot about this one!

Lu Pheasant was not very angry this time. She just sneered and gave a few casual instructions.

However, just these casual instructions were enough for Bo Ji, who was weak in the palace and whose mother's family had no power.

What's more, it's not just one person who gives such "casual instructions"?

Zhao Ji and Qi Ji gave the same instructions.

These three women reached a strange consensus at this time, that is, they should first press down the "Bo Ji" and "Dai Wang" who showed their heads!

Not against them, but against the first person to step forward.

In the palace of Mrs. Qi Ji.

Qi Ji even began to teach Liu Ruyi how to win Chen Bi's love. She even looked at Liu Ruyi and cursed: "Why can the acting king be praised by Mr. Chen, but you can't?"

"Have you seen your father's attitude?"

"To be praised by Chen is to be loved by your father."

She stepped forward with some sadness, touched Liu Ruyi and said, "Ruyi, do you know?"

"The emperor's favor is always temporary. He can favor you today and favor others tomorrow."

"This is not something you and I, mother and son, can decide."

How could Qi Ji not know that she had nothing but Liu Bang's favor?

But is there anything she can do?
She didn't.

Neither Liu Bang nor Lu Pheasant would allow her mother clan to develop their own power, and the court would not allow anyone to divide this piece of cake again, so she could only hold on to this straw, even if it was this straw. Straw is like running water.

Liu Ruyi stood there, looking into her mother's eyes with equally complicated emotions.

He clenched his fists: "Mother, don't worry."

"I will definitely be praised by my husband tomorrow!"

Zhao Ji palace
Liu Chang lowered his head, which was completely different from the arrogant and arrogant look outside. He said with some discomfort: "Mother, I suspect that sir has seen what I am thinking."

He said little by little: "Mr. Today, you look at me a little strangely."

Zhao Ji chuckled: "Don't worry."

On the contrary, she is the most relaxed one among the four.

Lu Pheasant was worried that Liu Ruyi would dethrone him from the crown prince's position. Qi Ji and Liu Ruyi were afraid that they would lose the emperor's favor and lose everything and be killed by Lu Pheasant. Dai Wang and Bo Ji were walking on thin ice trying to survive in this world.

Only Zhao Ji is different from Liu Chang.

They are not worried about this because Zhao Ji's mother clan is slightly powerful, but not very powerful.

And Liu Chang was not very popular with Liu Bang, so he would not be targeted by Lu Pheasant.

They are the two happiest people.

At court the next day.

Chen Bi, who was standing there with his eyes closed and concentrating, clearly felt something was wrong. The wind direction in the court seemed to have changed.

It wasn't until someone came out and said something that Chen Bi opened his eyes.

I saw the censor from the censor station standing up with a firm look on his face. The person he wanted to join today was a certain disciple of the Chen family.

Not a mainstay.

But it is a real "Chen Party".

They are going to launch a "political struggle" against Chen.

"Your Majesty, I want to report to Cao Lezheng that he is violating the law and providing food relief for his own selfish reasons!"
