Chang'an Imperial City.
Liu Heng went to Weiyang Palace to accompany the Queen Mother Zhang Yan for dinner. The two were chatting casually when Zhang Yan suddenly asked: "Emperor, have you sent Dong Ahou to Shandong again?"
Liu Heng replied with some emotion: "A Jing really couldn't sit still and had to do something. Maybe his uncle's influence was too great and he wanted to prove himself.
A Jing and his son were like brothers, and they were also running for his son's world. He begged his son, but his son really couldn't refuse, so he had to let him go. "
Zhang Yan said with a hint of reminder: "Emperor, look at the giant trees above Longling. They are used to make palace pillars. If they are used as firewood, they are overkill and underused.
If you look at those shrubs and thorns, they are short and hard, and they are used for firewood. If they are made into pillars, they cannot support the building.
This is what the sage said about making the best use of things and making the best use of people.
Dong'a Hou Jing was a talented man, but the emperor kept using him in evil ways, which was not a good thing for him, nor a good thing for the big man.
He may want to contribute to your world, but in fact there is no need. There are countless people in the world who can be used in this regard.
He was already extremely wealthy and prosperous.
The sage said that the benefits of a gentleman can be cut off after five lifetimes. He was only in his second lifetime, so he could still enjoy the benefits of King Luo Wen. He did not need to spend his life to gain a future like other ministers.
Now you have been traveling all the time, traveling and traveling, eating and sleeping in the open air. If something happens along the way, you will regret it too late.
You should treat King Luo Wen's only heir well, and it would be better to leave him in Chang'an City. "
Liu Heng was stunned when he heard this. This was the first time he heard someone say this. He thought for a moment and said, "The mother is right. This is the son's negligence."
After leaving Weiyang Palace, Liu Heng directly ordered Luo Jing to return.
Luo Jing didn't care. Over the years when he traveled to Shandong, he often encountered such things, and Liu Heng basically had to rush him several times.
After a long journey, Luo Jing returned to Chang'an City again. He first went back to his mansion to wash up and tidy up his appearance, and then went directly to the palace.
"The general has met the king!"
The captain of the Imperial Army who was responsible for protecting Liu Heng's safety came to greet Luo Jing personally, "Your Majesty, please hurry up. Your Majesty misses you so much when you go to Shandong. He often asks you when you will come back. How can we know?" Woolen cloth?"
When Luo Jing heard this, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, General."
The two hurriedly walked into the palace. As soon as Luo Jing entered the hall, he saw Liu Hengzheng pacing anxiously, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty."
Liu Heng came over and looked at Luo Jing carefully. When he saw that his handsome face was indeed full of fatigue, he sighed: "I didn't notice that A Jing was so tired. This is my fault, A Jing." , from now on, please stay in Chang'an City, stay with me, and don't go to Shandong again."
Luo Jing had no idea what happened to cause such a big change in the emperor. Although he had doubts, he still nodded and said: "I obey your Majesty."
Liu Heng laughed heartily and said: "Ajing, I plan to open a school in Chang'an City similar to the Luo Kingdom School in the past, specifically to train talents for my great Han Dynasty. You will serve as the sacrificial wine."
As soon as the academy was mentioned, Luo Jing's eyes immediately lit up and he asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any plans for this academy?"
Liu Heng pondered: "With more and more counties and counties under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the population of the world increasing, the number of officials in the imperial court is insufficient. A large number of officials are directly promoted from Shandong and other places. Students from hundreds of schools came.
Ah Jing, you know that these students are mixed, and many of them are not loyal enough to the court.
The main purpose of my establishment of the Academy is to train higher-level officials for the imperial court. If we add counties in the future, we can directly dispatch officials from the imperial court to take over.
Moreover, it can also replace the officials in various counties and counties. In my opinion, it will be beneficial without any harm. "
Luo Jing agreed: "In the past, the Luo State established a school, and scholars from all over the world came to give lectures in the school, and sages such as Laozi and Confucius became saints in the school.
When it was most prosperous, all the wise men in the world came from the Luo Kingdom Academy. Within three generations, there was no such grand occasion.
The three dynasties had established official schools, but most of them were confused with sacrifices and so on. Now that His Majesty has established the official schools of the Han Dynasty, I believe that as long as we focus on teaching and truly achieve the goal of selecting talents for the country, this is the most useful thing for the Han Dynasty. "
Liu Heng patted Luo Jing's shoulder and said with a smile: "This is no small matter. Luo's family has a long history and has experience in this area. When you go back, think carefully about it, write down a charter, and give it to me. We will talk more about it later." Let’s discuss it and make sure it is perfect so that all the talented people in the world can enter the palace.”
When Luo Jing heard this, he immediately wanted to return to his mansion to conceive the establishment of the academy, but unexpectedly Liu Heng pulled him back and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Jing, I still have a big matter to discuss with you.
You were crowned last year, but now you haven't even decided on a marriage.
I have already written to Zhaocheng to ask Duke Zhao for his opinion on this matter. Duke Zhao wrote back and said that I can choose a wife for you, as long as you agree and report to Zhaocheng, he will not interfere. "
Luo Jing is the third-generation legitimate son of the Luo family. Whether his children are legitimate sons or concubines, they will not have the stigmata. Moreover, the Dong'a lineage is the regent of the Han Dynasty and has a special status, so Luo Ling gave Luo Jing a great deal of influence. space.
As long as the candidate is finally reported to Zhaocheng, generally speaking, he will not interfere.
Luo Jing didn't expect this to be the case. Children of the Luo family have the right to love freely, but they are usually chosen directly by the family.
Now Luo Ling has handed over this power to Liu Heng, which makes Luo Jing a little shy. The key is that he has not thought about getting married yet and has no idea in this regard.
But Liu Heng seemed to see what he was thinking and said directly: "Ajing, if you don't get married, I will always be worried about you. What should I do if there is no one to take care of you?
Besides, I'm already married and even have children, but you have such a big mansion and are all alone. How can I accept this? "
Luo Jing has no time to think about how long Liu Heng has been thinking about this matter. After all, Liu Heng has already signed a letter with Luo Ling, which means that he must have been preparing for a long time, and he is not even sure who he will marry. .
So he asked directly: "Your Majesty, which noble family have you chosen for your marriage?"
When Liu Heng saw Luo Jing, he let go and said proudly: "Which one? Hundreds of them!"
?
Seeing the unprecedented confused expression on Luo Jing's face, Liu Heng laughed loudly and said: "My cousin is so elegant and elegant, how can I choose him?
I asked the Queen Mother to select for you the ladies from dozens of families in Chang'an City, all of whom are beautiful, talented and knowledgeable women. I also selected the ladies from hundreds of wealthy families in Shandong.
It is completely based on my criteria for selecting a concubine. I must choose a woman for A Jing who can best prosper the family and can harmonize with A Jing. "
Luo Jing was already in a semi-sluggish state. He looked at his cousin and felt for the first time that the emperor had such an unattractive side.
It is an unprecedented event for a minister to select his wife based on the criteria for selecting a concubine.
Liu Heng was very satisfied with Luo Jing's current status. He had been planning this for a long time. Ever since Luo Jing was crowned, he had written to Luo Ling asking about it because he knew that Luo Jing's next generation would not have a saint. If there are traces, Luo Shi will not control it so strictly.
And since he is the emperor after all, Luo will still give him this face, and the marriage of a legitimate son will not affect the overall situation.
After getting Luo Ling's consent, Liu Heng went to the Queen Mother and the Queen to start selecting suitable girls for Luo Jing. The Queen vaguely revealed the palace's attitude at the banquet in the harem, that is, all the noble girls of the right age in the entire Chang'an City, this year Most people are not allowed to talk about marriage, and those who want to get married are not allowed. This is the attitude of the royal family.
There was news in the aristocratic circles that the emperor wanted to choose concubines to fill the harem. After all, the only man of suitable age in the royal family was the emperor himself.
And the emperor really should have more concubines, after all, there are too few close relatives of the royal family.
Emperor Gao had only one legitimate son, Emperor Xiaohui, and Emperor Xiaohui had only one son, the current emperor.
The current emperor shoulders the important responsibility of extending the royal family. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, the issue of imperial succession will turn the entire Han Dynasty into chaos.
It's just that these powerful people never dreamed that Liu Heng would make such a big fuss because of Luo Jing's marriage.
Liu Heng said with excitement on his face: "Ajing, I have two plans. One is to choose one as my wife, and the other is to marry her sisters as concubines.
The other is not to marry you a wife, but to directly make the noble girls of various families your concubines.
If you don't have a wife, then your concubine is your wife. If a bowl of water is flat, those people must not be able to say anything. If they are still dissatisfied, let them come to me and I will scold you. "
?
This is the countless times Luo Jing has shown this expression today.
Something is very wrong with the emperor today. How could he be so outrageous?
Luo Jing couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, you must be joking, right?"
Liu Heng said categorically: "My younger brother Jing is the most talented man in the Han Dynasty. A talented man matches a beautiful woman. That's how it is. Just listen to me!"
