surnamed Wang

Chapter 55
Liu Jianbai, as one of the earliest courtiers of the dynasty, has served as a cabinet scholar since the ancestor emperor, and assisted the emperor who was not yet stable in handling government affairs. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he turned to assist the new emperor. , there is only one son under his knees, named Liu Luming.

Mr. Liu Ge entered the officialdom at the age of 20, and after five years of hard work, he became the third-rank general envoy. He only got married at the age of 25. His wife is seven years younger than him. It is said that old couples and young wives should be closer However, the country had just changed hands and was in urgent need of rectification. At that time, Liu Jianbo was quite appreciated by the Taizu Emperor Wang Mu, so he was transferred to Jiangnan and became the chief envoy of the second rank.

Jiangnan has been an important place for trade since ancient times, and the local people are hardworking and intelligent. Not only the grain output is impressive, but also a large number of cash crops are planted. The annual tax alone accounts for a quarter of the national treasury revenue at that time. The old emperor transferred him to Going here shows the trust and respect for him.

Since Liu Jianbai was young, he had the potential to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He was naturally grateful for the old emperor's favor. He left his newly married wife and went to Jiangnan, thousands of miles away, to work for another five years.

In the past five years, relying on his ingenuity, he not only doubled the tax revenue in Jiangnan, but also made the people in Jiangnan richer than those in the capital. Compared with other officials, his political achievements can be described as brilliant.

The old emperor cherished his talents and couldn't bear the separation of Liu Jianbo and his wife. Moreover, it is far more useful for such a capable official to stay in the capital than to stay in the south of the Yangtze River to do business, so he was transferred back to the capital with another order, and his official position was changed from the original second rank cloth The political envoy jumped up and became a top-notch cabinet scholar. Such an extraordinary promotion is one of the few in the entire history of the Central Plains.

Liu Jianbai returned to Beijing to become a cabinet scholar, not only did he not take the opportunity to get closer to his wife, to have a baby, but he seemed to have forgotten that he still had a wife, and stayed in the palace all day to help the emperor draft edicts and handle government affairs.

Three years later, the prince seized the heir, and the killing was terrific. Liu Jianbai, a loyal and pedantic man, did not accept any solicitation from any party, but just did his job honestly and dutifully. It took a long time for the crown prince to settle down.

At that time, Liu Jianbo had just passed his thirties and became the prince's teacher, responsible for teaching the prince to handle government affairs.

Two years later, the crown prince came to the throne, and Liu Jianbo's status as a teacher naturally rose accordingly. He became the emperor's teacher at a young age. The old emperor had only been in power for ten years and left in a hurry. The domestic situation was still unstable, and the frontiers were often invaded. Well, the new emperor can't support it alone, Liu Jianbo, the emperor's teacher, naturally set an example and helped the emperor support the country, and this support lasted for another five years.

It wasn't until later that he couldn't bear it anymore and fell seriously ill, and was forced to stay at home to recuperate by the emperor's decree. Then he remembered that he had worked hard for most of his life, but he still had no children. At this time, he was nearly four years old. ten.

Although Mrs. Liu complained about his indifferent behavior, as a young lady from a wealthy family, she would not say much.She had long thought of having a child, but there was no farmer in He Liangtian, so it was useless to say anything, so this time, while Liu Jianbo was recuperating, she told him about it seriously.

Liu Jianbai also felt that this matter should not be delayed any longer, so he planned to wait for his illness to recover, and then the two of them would do some serious business.

But after many years of hard work, it is not so easy to recover. The disease lasted for half a year. After finally recovering from the disease, the husband and wife also worked together for half a year.But I don't know whether it was affected by the illness for half a year, or the two of them were really old, and the stomach just didn't feel the slightest movement, so the two of them panicked. They tried all kinds of folk remedies and tonics one by one, but there was still no change.

Liu Jianbai directly asked for a one-year leave, which was the first time since the founding of the dynasty, and he was hiding at home and working hard to give birth to a child.So in the end, he simply gave up. He felt that the time might not have come, so he went back to continue to be his old Liu Ge. Of course, the husband and wife should still be busy when they come back at night. The opportunity is waiting for two years.

Finally, on this day two years later, Mrs. Liu vomited badly. She thought she had eaten a bad stomach, so she asked the doctor to check, and the pulse No. [-] turned out to be Xi pulse. Guanshi Liu hurried to the palace to find Mr. Liu Ge to convey the good news.

At that time, Liu Jianbai was dealing with some paperwork. The butler trotted all the way to the Hall of Martial Arts, and shouted before entering the door: "Master, madam is happy!"

After this shout, all the academicians in the hall listened attentively, and congratulated each other, Liu Jianbai also blushed, and hurriedly returned the gift and left.

When Liu Jianbai walked away, there was a burst of laughter in the room. The thoughts of these colleagues were the same as that of Wang Bingquan: Liu Ge is getting stronger when he is old, and he is getting stronger when he is old.

Mr. Liu Ge, who is a scholar of the cabinet and also a teacher of the prince, is notoriously strict with these phoenixes and grandchildren. If he is not happy, he will serve him with his hands. When the princess sees him, he is obedient and does not say anything. Frightened, why?Because the princesses have golden branches and jade leaves, at most they are hand-to-hand, while the princes are not so particular, they just smoke their buttocks.

Mr. Liu Ge, who just became a father in his 40s, loves his son very much, and dotes on this hard-won son.Even the princes and princesses in the palace are much more relaxed.

The emperor saw that the princes who had been successful in their studies went downhill, so he had no choice but to dismiss the emperor's teacher who had taught him tactfully.Liu Ge was getting old, and the country was gradually becoming stable and prosperous, so he was happy to be leisurely, and went home to teach his son after finishing the cabinet work every day.

Liu Luming can be said to have pinned Liu Jianbai's deep expectations. Liu Jianbai hopes that his son will study hard like himself, and in the future he will take the imperial examination and become an official in the court to take over his position.

But the reality is always cruel. In terms of reading, his son can be said to have no roots at all. A poem that other children can memorize by heart in an hour, came to Liu Luming, and he memorized it for three days. Didn't recite everything.

You can say that a stupid bird can fly first, but Liu Luming reincarnated late. He procrastinates in everything he does, and he is very curious. Every time he memorizes half of the memorization, he is attracted by the voice outside, and then sneaks out. , I didn’t go home until evening, and every time I went home, I must be disheartened.

When asked what he was doing, his answer always made Liu Jianbai so angry that he almost lost his breath. One day he went to a blacksmith's shop, another went to a carpenter's shop tomorrow, or a porcelain factory. The most outrageous time was Seeing someone going out for a funeral, they followed the procession for the whole afternoon. They saw him working hard, and rewarded him with a few pennies...so angry that Liu Jianbai, who never spanked his son, slapped him on the buttocks, and strictly ordered him not to steal run out.

But Liu Luming didn't remember to eat or beat, and he agreed with tearful eyes the day before, and sneaked out again the next day.Mr. Liu also lost his temper completely. As for this one son, he was not willing to be beaten, so he simply let him go, and he didn't expect him to be an official in the court. Some.

Unexpectedly, Liu Luming was a restless master, so he didn't go out later, and started hustle and bustle at home again.He specially found a room as a workshop, and he jingled in it all day long, and almost burned the house several times, but this time he was bumped into by Wang Quanquan.
