Because he is the half-brother of the Duke of Chongqing and is quite talented, he directly received a doctorate position in the Imperial Academy. It's just about managing classics and occasionally giving a few lessons to the students of the Imperial College.
Duan is a good place with high status and few things to do. If he hadn't had a brother with a dukedom and a sister-in-law with a title of princess, and only relied on Liu Qi's little talent, At his age, it is difficult to sit in such a high position.
After all, Liu Qi is only in his mid-thirties now. He is the old son of the previous Duke of Chongqing, and he is more than ten years older than the current Duke of Chongqing, Liu Xuanyi.
Because Liu Qi’s brother Liu Xuanyi, Duke of Chongqing, and Princess Nanping are currently working as an interviewer in Lihong (now Nanchang, Jiangxi), Liu Xuanyi’s eldest son Liu Tong and his youngest son Liu Chao born to Princess Nanping He was left in the Duke's Mansion in Chang'an City, under the care of Liu Qi.
Princess Nanping remarried Liu Xuanyi halfway, so she inevitably spoiled the only son beside her.
Also because of Princess Nanping's pampering, Liu Chao was somewhat arrogant and domineering at a young age, and he looked like a libertine.
On the other hand, Liu Tong, the eldest son of Liu Xuanyi's original wife, looked like a handsome gentleman. No one would respectfully address him as "the prince" when he saw him.
Therefore, it became more and more obvious that Liu Chao was annoying.
With this comparison, it makes people feel that Liu Tong is the heir apparent.
However, even if Liu Xuanyi doesn't like his youngest son Liu Chao very much, this is his and Princess Nanping's son after all. For the sake of Liu Chao's future, Liu Xuanyi sent the fifteen-year-old Liu Chao back to Chang'an three years ago and handed it over to Liu Qi took care of it.
Liu Qi followed Liu Xuanyi's request and arranged for Liu Chao to study in the Imperial College.
If that's the case, it's actually not bad.
I don’t know whether it was fate or the vagaries of the world. As soon as Liu Chao entered the Imperial College, he received a lot of attention because of his identity and his father and brother Liu Tong.
It's not really a big deal at all. If Liu Chao ignores it, after a while, everyone won't treat him as some after-dinner gossip.
Chang'an is so big, and the Imperial College is not small. There are many new things to talk about every day, and no one will just focus on the affairs of one person and one family.
But, the main blame is that Princess Nanping dotes on Liu Chao too much. The servants who accompany Liu Chao are all Princess Nanping's people. They are very arrogant and think that they are the princess. Although Chao is not the prince, he is still the son of the princess, and his status is also noble.
In this way, these servants did not directly address the rumors about Liu Chao in the Imperial College, but actually encouraged Liu Chao and Liu Tong to become hostile.
Of course, Liu Tong naturally did not accept the move. Not only did he not accept the move, he also advised Liu Chao sincerely: "Although you and I have different mothers and did not grow up together when we were young, we are the same after all. Brothers with the same father.
Don’t listen to what outsiders say. The most important thing is that we brothers have a good relationship and run the family well.”
The good words sounded in Liu Qi's ears because Liu Chao looked down on him and looked down on him as a person.
Therefore, Liu Chao, who did not study hard in the Imperial College, still looked for opportunities to cause trouble for Liu Tong.
Once, twice, three times or five times, Liu Tong tolerated it, but as time passed, Liu Tong became a little bored.
So what if Liu Chao is the son of a princess?
He is the son of his first wife, and he has long been invited to be named the eldest son of the Duke of Chongqing. In the future, the title of Duke of Chongqing will be his, so he is naturally somewhat arrogant.
Don't you feel tired of facing Liu Chao's repeated provocations?
So Liu Tong discussed with his second uncle Liu Qi that he would leave the Imperial College and study abroad for two years before returning to Chang'an and separate from Liu Chao. In this way, the brothers' feud with each other would not happen. It happened, which is a good thing for the Liu family.
Liu Qi wrote to ask Liu Xuanyi what he meant. After getting permission, he agreed to Liu Tong's request and arranged for his servants to send Liu Tong on a study tour in Chang'an.
In this way, we lived in peace for another three years.
Three years later, just when Li Sanniang and the bad guy were almost ready to experiment with the cowpox vaccination, Liu Tong returned from his study tour in the Western Regions. Although Li Sanniang had been busy establishing a maternity hall after being given the official position, she did not forget to promote the cowpox issue.
Mr. Bu pushed the bad guy slowly to the front desk step by step. One of his great achievements from dark to bright was to take the report written by Li Sanniang and spend several years looking for sick cows with acne. Little by little, I followed what Li Sanniang said to test the feasibility of cowpox.
Expanding from the death row prisoners to the bad guys themselves, only after enough experimental samples were obtained, did they join forces with Li Sanniang to explain the matter to Emperor Wu and the Imperial Medical Office.
Therefore, the time when Liu Tong returned from his study tour in the Western Regions was the peak of the Imperial Medical Office's promotion of cowpox vaccination in Chang'an.
Li Sanniang was the first person to be vaccinated with cowpox on her arm by the official of the Imperial Medical Office in full view of the public at the imperial meeting.
With the first person to eat crabs, the courageous Lang Guan in the Imperial Medical Office also stepped forward.
Therefore, the cowpox vaccination was slowly promoted from top to bottom.
From the Imperial Medical Office to Emperor Wu to the officials and their families, it slowly expanded to the entire city of Chang'an.
Even with a lot of preparations, there are still so many people in Chang'an City who volunteer to be vaccinated. In this way, in the Li family, except for the younger Kogoro and Ko Liuro, Everyone else was vaccinated with cowpox.
This is a good thing. It is not a life-threatening disease caused by smallpox. It can directly prevent this disease. It is naturally a good thing.
But no matter how useful things are, if they are in the hands of evil-minded people, they will become tools for evil.
Liu Chao spent his leisurely and happy days in the Imperial College without being compared with his eldest brother Liu Tong. On the first day Liu Tong came back, he felt extremely stressed and uncomfortable. Went directly to Pingkangfang for fun.
As for Liu Qi, over the past few years, he has long been tired of worrying about disciplining Liu Chao.
Now, as long as Liu Chao is not dead or disabled, he is impatient to take care of Liu Chao's affairs.
Therefore, no one cared about Liu Chao's absence from the family dinner and went directly to Ping Kangfang.
In the flower building, Liu Chao was very drunk while holding a jug and pouring wine directly into his mouth. He watched the dancers move on the stage, his ears were filled with the sound of silk and bamboo, and his heart was still very irritable.
"Hey, why are Liu Lang here drinking to drown his sorrows?"
In the Imperial College, he and Liu Chao had the same smell, and they always played polo, gambled, and went to flower houses together. Another prodigal, Wang Jiasanlang, also walked up drunkenly, sat down next to Liu Chao and said these opening remarks.
Liu Chao was in a bad mood and didn't want to pay attention to Wang Sanlang's words, and just drank by himself.
Seeing this, Wang Sanlang wanted to talk to Liu Chao even more.
Wang Sanlang hugged Liu Chao vigorously, and whispered to Liu Chao with his head touching: "Hey, even if you don't tell me, I know if your eldest son is back, and you are so upset that you are drinking to drown your sorrows. Ah.”
“Get out of here, don’t bother me!”
Liu Chao pushed Wang Sanlang away, his worries, which had finally been numbed by drinking, were now suppressed. Wang Sanlang mentioned it directly, and the anger in his heart really couldn't be suppressed at all.
"Haha, haha, I really got it right."
After Wang Sanlang was pushed away, he was not angry at all. He pulled Liu Chao to bite his ear again.
