Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 377 Confessions are lenient (please recommend, ask for a monthly pass!)
When Liang Xiao entered Weiyang Palace, he met several former colleagues who he knew and was stopped by them.

"Haha, Liang Xiao!" A Lang Guan opened his arms and stopped Liang Xiao. "Good boy, black and strong, the beef and mutton from the Western Regions really nourish people."

"Hey, good horse, good horse." Another Lang Guan stroked Mingzhu's mane, loving it. "Ah Xiao, are there good horses everywhere in the Western Regions? Your horse is really good. It is taller than the horse Li Shuyun brought back last time. It looks like a real thousand-mile horse."

Han Yan stepped forward, and with a smile drove the officials away with the whip in her hand. "Get out of the way, Your Majesty is waiting for Captain Liang, who has returned from thousands of miles away, to reply. What are you idlers doing to join in the fun, get out of the way."

Only then did the Lang officials know that Liang Xiao was no longer the Weiyang Lang like them, but a captain riding.Hastily retreated to the side, smiling embarrassingly, the atmosphere was a little awkward, a little more polite, a little less intimacy.

Seeing Liang Xiao, his eyes flashed, he laughed, and cupped his hands. "Brothers, a certain king is destined to be alive, so I can't delay. I'll talk to you brothers after I've done my job. One counts as one, and you can choose the place. Let's drink and compare arrows. Let's see if you have been lazy in the past two years. How are you doing?" ?”

"Haha, that's great." Seeing that Liang Xiao wasn't proud of his status and was still as straightforward as before, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.

After bidding farewell to Lang Guan, Liang Xiao followed Mei Gao and Han Yan to the greenhouse hall. The emperor stood at the gate of the hall, and Da Xing ordered Wang Hui to stand aside, welcoming them with smiles.Liang Xiao caught up with two steps and bowed down.

"Message from the Western Regions, Captain Qi, Chen Xiao pays homage to His Majesty."

"Come on, come on." Full of joy, the Son of Heaven descended a step, stretched out his hand to caress Liang Xiao, looked him up and down, and nodded in satisfaction. "Well, it's darker, stronger, and more stable. It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip to the Western Regions."

Liang Xiao smiled awkwardly. "Although I have some minor merits, I am young and ignorant, and I have made many mistakes. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Sin?" The emperor's eyes flashed, he was very surprised. "What did you do wrong that you want to plead guilty? Let's hear it."

"The minister has too many crimes. It is difficult to record one or two of the bamboos in Nanshan. Your Majesty should let the minister enter the palace and report in detail. The weather is cold. If His Majesty is frozen, the minister will have another crime."

Seeing Liang Xiao's exaggerated words, the Son of Heaven couldn't help laughing out loud, and teased, "It's because you are afraid of the cold, but why you said it so nicely."

Liang Xiao became more and more sincere. "Your Majesty, I have even climbed the snow-capped mountains that have not melted for thousands of years, how can I be afraid of the cold in Chang'an? I really think about Your Majesty."

The emperor laughed, turned and walked towards the hall. "Come in and tell me about your crimes one by one. I want to see if the bamboo from Nanshan is enough."

"Wei!" Liang Xiao bowed in response, while winking at Mei Gao.Mei Gao smiled wryly, and stretched out his hand to signal Liang Xiao to go in quickly.He was a little confused, since Liang Xiao was so knowledgeable and pleaded guilty to the emperor as soon as they met, why did he spare a horse and insist on offending Han Yan.

Could it be that he wants to compete with Han Yan for favor?This difficulty is not small.Although he is talented and highly valued by the emperor, Han Yan is the emperor's playmate since he was a child. How many times.

When Liang Xiao entered the hall, the emperor had already sat down in front of the case, and Wang Hui sat aside.Opposite Wang Hui, the emperor ordered a brocade seat to be set up.Liang Xiao stepped forward and sat down on the mat, but his buttocks didn't touch his heels. It didn't look like sitting, but kneeling.

The emperor grinned happily. "Don't be so restrained, after I finish hearing your crimes, it's not too late for you to apologize."

"Your Majesty, I..." Liang Xiao grinned in embarrassment. "I can't sit down."

"Can't sit down?" The emperor was startled, and glanced at Wang Hui. "What do you mean you can't sit down?"

Wang Hui rolled his eyes and immediately understood. He bowed and saluted, and said with a soft smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know. The barbarians in the Western Regions are rude and rude. They don't sit on the ground like us Han people, but sit with their feet down. Liang Xiao went to the Western Regions for two days. He is more than a year old, fighting side by side with the Hu people, so he naturally has to do as the Romans do. Besides, he has been fighting for the past two years, so he is probably the same as the Huns, his legs are more suitable for a horseback, not for a seat."

The emperor suddenly realized. "Liang Xiao, is that so?"

Liang Xiao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is a wise man, Da Xing Ling is well-informed and well-informed, to the point. I didn't have much knowledge at first, but now I look more like a barbarian. This... is really rude."

The Son of Heaven nodded, and said generously: "It's not your fault. On the battlefield, life and death are only on the line, so I really don't care too much. However, now that you have returned, you should pay attention. Otherwise, , Shi Yushishu, I can't protect you either."

Liang Xiao hurriedly expressed his thanks, sat down in a decent manner, and talked about the experience of his mission to the Western Regions.He went into every detail, and told almost everything that happened, even the Dawan Princess Luo Xuli's affairs, except for the incident in the temple.

He spoke in such detail that even the emperor was amazed.The subject's reinstatement has never been as detailed as Liang Xiao's.However, firstly, what Liang Xiao said was interesting, and secondly, he also knew that Liang Xiao didn't read much, and his etiquette was rough.

More than two hours later, after Liang Xiao finished speaking, he fell on the ground, kowtowed to apologize, and let his calves relax.During this half day, he has changed his posture many times. "The minister is crazy and ignorant, and he is disrespectful as a minister. Please forgive me."

The emperor turned to Wang Hui. "Da Xing Ling, in your opinion, what crimes does Liang Xiao have?"

Wang Hui was also shocked when he heard it.Liang Xiao not only got a high-quality Dawan horse, but also got the Dawan Princess. He is quite courageous, not to mention that he agreed to make profits for those businessmen without the emperor's permission.If you really want to talk about it, any one of them is enough for him.

"Your Majesty, Liang Xiao has committed at least three crimes: one is accepting huge sums of money from barbarians;

The emperor withdrew his gaze, looked at Liang Xiao, and cocked his mouth. "Can you plead guilty?"

Liang Xiao fell down on the ground, feeling very aggrieved in his heart, but he had to give in softly. "I feel that Da Xing Ling has the heart of an elder, and treats me extremely leniently. How dare you deny it."

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched, and he said with a chuckle: "What do you mean, do you mean that if I ask you about other crimes, it will not be kind enough?"

"I dare not."

"You still know the severity." The emperor nodded slightly. "Get up. Although there are a lot of problems, but you have to act in a hurry, otherwise, how can you have the current situation, how can you make Yueshi and Dawan submit to my big man one after another? Speaking of it, you still have merit."

Mei Gao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Liang Xiao's pretending to be crazy and foolish was actually approved by the emperor, and he passed a test.He sneaked a glance at Han Yan, but seeing that Han Yan remained calm and her expression was normal, he couldn't help raising his heart that had just been let go.

Liang Xiao got up and sat down again.As soon as his butt touched his heel, Liang Xiao suddenly let out an "Ai yo" and fell to the ground, stroking his calf with his hands, showing pain on his face.

The emperor was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

Liang Xiao's face twisted. "Forgive me, Your Majesty. I have not sat on my knees for a long time, and I have lost feeling in my calf."

Just as the Son of Heaven was about to speak, Wang Hui also said: "Your Majesty, he has been talking for too long, and I can't help my legs." After hearing this, the Son of Heaven realized that Liang Xiao had talked for too long, and his own legs were also broken. Some can't take it anymore.

"Haha. Come, come, sit against the case, more comfortable." The emperor said, leaning on the case first, leaning on his body, and releasing his legs.Liang Xiao and Wang Hui glanced at each other, followed suit, and sat leaning against the case.Wang Hui was quite proud, being able to sit in such a casual posture in front of the Son of Heaven showed that the Son of Heaven was in a good mood, and he, the person who recommended Liang Xiao as an envoy, was also a meritorious minister.

Mei Gao breathed a sigh of relief again.Han Yan twitched the corners of her eyes, showing a little anxiety.
The emperor propped his elbows on the case, thoughtful. "So, the envoy who came to Chang'an with you is not only from Dawan."

"What your majesty said is true. When I met Li Shuyun and Li Danghu, I heard that your majesty transferred General Li to be the prefect of Longxi, so I thought I was smart, thinking that Hexi could be broken, so I gathered the countries at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and asked them to send envoys and hostages. , and rushed to Chang'an together. When we arrived at Hexi, we met the Xiaoyue clan, and only then did we know that Hexi was still in the hands of the Huns. As a last resort, we had to send them back. Your Majesty begs you to punish me for your misbehavior, which has insulted the prestige of the country."

"It's not your fault." The Son of Heaven hesitated to speak, with regret in his eyes. "General Li...it is true that he sent troops to Hexi, but the veterans in the court think that he privately recruited knights, violated the court's laws, and provoked war without authorization, destroying the marriage, which is more meritorious, so..."

Liang Xiao remained silent.There is no need for him to say anything now.

The reason why he explained the story in such detail is to appear sincere and prevent others from having the opportunity to slander him.The second is to complain about Li Guang.His military achievements in the Western Regions cannot be counted, and it is hard to say now, but Li Guang's military achievements in conquering the Xiutu Department are real.If Li Guang can't be rehabilitated, then it will be very difficult for him to become a Marquis - the famous general Li Guang's achievements can be obliterated at will, so what is he, Liang Xiao?
Moreover, as Li Guang's former subordinate, if he did not speak for Li Guang, he would be despised by his colleagues in the future.Many officials in the palace and outside the palace are fans of Li Guang, and every word he says now may reach the ears of Weiyang Lang in the future.

Be it public or private, Liang Xiao can't sit idly by.

However, to complain about Li Guangming, one should not be too direct.The Son of Heaven is a person with a good face. If he feels that he is being forced, even if he succeeds this time, he will leave a grudge in the future.The best way is to let the emperor himself taste the pros and cons, and take the initiative to correct mistakes.

What does the emperor desire most now?Of course, it is to unite with the Western Regions and cut off the right arm of the Huns.The envoys from many countries in the Western Regions came to court, and they had already walked halfway, but they had to turn back because of the decision of the court. The visit of all countries became the visit of one country, and the emperor did not know how much he regretted it.

Sure enough, the Son of Heaven didn't say anything more, but changed the subject and mentioned the unresolved marriage.

"Liang Xiao, what's your opinion on getting married?"

Liang Xiao was silent for a moment. "Your Majesty, I want to tell you the story of Wusun Yan's Arukan."

The emperor frowned slightly, a little surprised.Wang Hui coughed: "Liang Xiao, if His Majesty inquires, you can answer directly, why bother talking about him."

Liang Xiao bowed and bowed. "Da Xingling, the so-called stones from other mountains may attack jade. The Arukan mentioned by the minister is actually a marriage. However, there is a subtle difference between the marriage of the Huns and the marriage of our dynasty."

The emperor waved his hand and interrupted Wang Hui. "Let's hear it, let's see how the Huns got married."
