Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 386 Sang Hongyang

The emperor also had some headaches.

He was first poured cold water by Liang Xiao, and his ambition was almost in vain. After being reminded by Liang Xiao, he found a good way to cut the fat of the Huns and benefit himself at the expense of others. He wished Liang Xiao could go to Hetian Fen immediately. , Han Anguo and others debated to reach an agreement to reject the Huns as soon as possible, and sent troops to crusade and occupy Henan and Hexi.

However, he was hit again.What if Liang Xiao disrespected the court and was kicked out by Yu Shi?Not only can his purpose not be achieved, but he may also become a laughing stock.Veterans would use Liang Xiao as an excuse to accuse them of being young and reckless.

He was very annoyed, but Liang Xiao couldn't be blamed for it.Liang Xiao was born in a reckless family and behaved vulgarly. It was simply unrealistic for him to be proficient in those red tapes.Compared with those noble children, this has always been the shortcoming of common people.Not only Liang Xiao, Wei Qing, Gongsun Ao, Yan Zhu and others are no exception.

Etiquette is not something that can be learned by being smart. It must be taught and practiced frequently.

But the Son of Heaven desperately hoped to put Liang Xiao's suggestion on the agenda.He really didn't want to bear it any longer, the Huns envoys lived in Chang'an for several months, and urged him almost every day.Now he just wants to reject the Huns quickly, and then give them a head-on blow.

The emperor thought of a compromise. "How about this, you discuss it with Mei Gao and Yan Zhu first, and then let them debate with the ministers, and you watch and practice the ceremony, so as not to be caught by the censor."

"Wei." Liang Xiao agreed.

Immediately, the Son of Heaven called Mei Gao, Yan Zhu, Wuqiu Shouwang and other courtiers, and Wei Qing, Han Yan and others also listened.They are all close ministers of the emperor, so there is no need to be too rigid about etiquette.In the greenhouse hall, in front of the emperor, Liang Xiao repeated his suggestion.

Mei Gao and the others felt that it was reasonable. Compared with simply refusing to make a marriage, Liang Xiao's method is obviously more operable.More importantly, Liang Xiao had just returned from the Western Regions.He defeated the Huns twice with less, and he has enough confidence to make this suggestion.Prior to this, when facing veterans such as Han Anguo, the biggest weakness of Yan Zhu and others was that they had no actual combat experience and lacked confidence. When it came to specific questions, it was difficult for them to give a strong answer.

Liang Xiao was different, he had actual combat experience, and liked to speak with data, and the suggestions he put forward were more practical.

Even though Yan Zhu and Han Yan were quite critical of Liang Xiao, they couldn't help nodding their heads in agreement when they heard Liang Xiao's suggestions.They all knew that the Son of Heaven's greatest hope now was to refuse the marriage and go to war with the Huns, and Liang Xiao's suggestion was exactly what he wanted.No matter how big the conflict is, it would not be a rational choice to turn against Liang Xiao at this moment.

Unless they can catch Liang Xiao's flaws, which is almost impossible, Liang Xiao didn't leave them any chance.

Yan Zhu was very regretful, and Han Yan was very depressed.

Still, the agenda is going pretty well.Liang Xiao provided the main idea of ​​the proposal, Yan Zhu and others modified it, and quickly discussed a plan.Compared with those general ideas, this plan is well-founded, at least it seems to be so.

Finally, Liang Xiao emphasized again.

"Gentlemen, I have to remind you once again that people die in war. If you refuse to make peace and go to war with the Huns, what you want to start is not one or two battles, but a life-and-death battle. It may take ten or 20 years , or even 30 or 40 years. Therefore, everyone must be cautious, cautious, and more cautious, and never have a fluke mentality. Self-destructing the future is a small matter, and wronging the king and the country is a big matter, remember to remember.”

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, momentarily awe-inspiring, but at the same time full of pride.

All the people here are smart people. They know very well that once they refuse to marry each other, a life-and-death battle will start between Han and Xiong, which is much more serious than the seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu.Back then, Emperor Xiaojing followed Chao Cuo's advice and cut down the vassals hastily without sufficient preparation. As a result, the seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu raised troops, and Emperor Xiaojing could only kill Chao Cuo to apologize.If they are not fully prepared, once the situation is unfavorable, they may become scapegoats like Chao Cuo.

Of course, from another perspective, what they are now advising the emperor is a big event.Once successful, you will be promoted to a noble, and wealth can be expected.The reason why they left their hometowns and came to Chang'an was not for the sake of wealth.Now that the opportunity is in front of us, who wants to be an outsider?

The emperor was very satisfied.

Compared with Yan Zhu and the others, Liang Xiao has no education and doesn't know much about etiquette, but his height is obviously different.Prior to this, the emperor had organized the courtiers around him to discuss many times, and no one had ever considered this as a 30- or 40-year event like Liang Xiao.At most, they talk about marriage as a family, and war as a battle. In comparison, their vision is obviously not at the same level.

It can be seen that knowledge is not only in books, some people are geniuses even if they don't read books.

With such a wizard to help him, what is the Huns doing?
The emperor was delighted and clapped his hands. "Okay, everyone has worked hard, let's take a break for a while, and discuss it after lunch."

Everyone suddenly realized that it was past noon and their stomachs were hungry.Hearing that it is useful to enjoy the imperial meal, everyone smiles.

Liang Xiao was still a little worried at first. In his impression, enjoying the royal meal sounds very prestigious, but it is actually a very painful thing.After he started eating, he realized that it wasn't that scary.Maybe it's because the emperor is young, or maybe it's because the emperor and his ministers don't have that much status in this era, the emperor is very easy-going, not only doesn't put on airs, but also takes the initiative to find someone to drink.Seeing that Liang Xiao was not good at drinking, he even encouraged other people to drink Liang Xiao, and he actually drank several glasses of Liang Xiao.

After drinking for three rounds, the emperor danced lightly, dancing and singing, and he sang the "Tianma Song" just composed.

"Taiyi tribute, under the heavenly horse, covered in red sweat and dripping ocher, galloping with Xi for thousands of miles, now Anpi Xilong is a friend."

Yan Zhu and Han Yan danced one after another, joined the dance circle, and sang loudly.For a while, the atmosphere was warm, and the monarch and his ministers rejoiced together.

After lunch, they continued their discussion.The more you think about it, the more things you have to consider. Gradually, everyone has differences. Some are optimistic and some are pessimistic.To put it bluntly, rolling up your sleeves and rolling your arms is a full-scale martial arts exercise.

Looking at the group of people who were older than 2000 and younger than [-], their faces were flushed. Looking at the excited and mischievous emperor, Liang Xiao couldn't help but smile.This is really full of vigor, who would have thought that among these yelling young people there would be an emperor through the ages, there would be Wei Huo twin stars across the desert, and there would be a traveler from after [-]?
The number of romantic figures is all in the present.

-

In the middle of the discussion, Liang Xiao was annoyed by their quarrel, so he ran outside the hall alone to breathe.Weiyang Palace is a large building complex, built on a Longshou Mountain, condescending, overlooking Chang'an City.The palace is divided into several smaller buildings, and the greenhouse hall is subordinate to the front hall.Standing on the steps of the gate of the hall, the front hall is to the south, the Jiaofang hall is to the north, and the Fufu Que, which is as high as [-] feet, can be seen to the east, which is very spectacular.

Liang Xiao was watching intently when a young man came out from the hall, holding a glass of water in his hand.

"Liang Jun, drink some water."

Liang Xiao took the water and bowed to pay tribute.Judging by his attire, he has been serving the emperor just now, so he should be a close servant similar to Han Yan and Yan Zhu.It's just that Liang Xiao entered the palace for the first time and didn't know him.Seeing that he is tall and thin, he is not very strong, and he does not look like a military official.

"Dare to ask what is your step?"

"Luoyang Sang Hongyang entered the palace at the thirteenth. Fortunately, His Majesty did not give up and was chosen as the guard."

Liang Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Sang Hongyang again.This is a genius, not only a good hand in financial management, but also one of the few witnesses in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.There were many famous ministers of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but there are really few people like Sang Hongyang who have been with Emperor Wu of the Han and served Emperor Wu of the Han all his life, and have not been killed by Emperor Wu of the Han in the end.

"It turned out to be Mr. Sang, I have admired you for a long time, I have admired you for a long time."

Sang Hongyang showed a bit of embarrassment and hesitated for a moment. "Liang Jun, can I...can I ask you a question?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "Are you asking me a question? Is it about archery, or about the Western Regions?"

"Neither." Sang Hongyang shook his head. "It's about clairvoyance."

Liang Xiao laughed.He understood that this question raised by Liu Ling probably stumped many people. As a genius who is good at calculation, Sang Hongyang must have been placed high hopes by the emperor.However, Sang Hongyang's outstanding calculation ability does not mean that his mathematical ability is high.Sang Hongyang couldn't solve this kind of problem that even Dongfang Shuo couldn't solve.

"I've heard Dongfang Shuo mention this question." Liang Xiao said with a smile, "It's really difficult."

Sang Hongyang was taken aback. "Dongfang Shuo solved it?"

"Yes."

Sang Hongyang showed some regret and sighed softly. "Dongfang Shuo is a genius, I can't match him."

"Mr. Sang has nothing to regret. Dongfang Shuo was able to solve this problem because he was inspired by the ancient books of Xiyi. You haven't seen those ancient books, so it's hard to think of them."

"What kind of classics can Xiyi have, which is more profound than my big man's knowledge?" Han Yan came out, opened her arms, let out a sigh of relief, and pretended to breathe, just to hear it. "Liang Jun, can you also explain to me?"

Liang Xiao frowned, and said casually: "Although Xiyi dare not say that I am more civilized than me, there are some wise men, and their knowledge is quite different from other schools of thought. It may be difficult to understand. Sang Jun is good at arithmetic. , quick thinking, not a big problem. Although Wang Sun is good at arching horses, he has never heard of any advantages in arithmetic. I'm afraid I can't solve your confusion."

Han Yan laughed twice. "It turns out that in Mr. Liang's heart, I am a vulgar and uneducated man. Mr. Liang, although I am not sensitive, I have studied for many years. I am afraid that I know some knowledge, but Mr. Sang may not know it."

Liang Xiao grinned. "In this case, let's test it. If Wang Sun has half of Sang Jun's arithmetic ability, I will explain Wang Sun's doubts, how about it?"

"Half?" Han Yan's eyes became sharper, and she quacked with a smile: "How can this arithmetic ability be multiplied?"

"It's very simple. I will ask you an arithmetic problem, and you will start to calculate it at the same time, so as to measure wisdom and foolishness by the length of time. How?"
