Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 402 Bo Ming
Although Liu An and the emperor have differences in philosophy, so far, there has been no tearing up between them.The emperor respected Liu An as Uncle Wang and appreciated his talent and learning. Liu An also behaved like a persuasive elder. As soon as the new book came out, he rushed to send it to the emperor.

Today Liu An took the initiative to help, and the emperor was even happier. The two talked affectionately, and the people next to him looked at it comfortably.

Liu An mentioned Liu Ling's hard work in improving Liuli, and complained that Liu Ling was bewitched by others and wasted a lot of money on Liuli, but now he realized that he was too bookish.A book of hundreds of thousands of words was compiled, and the money spent was many times that of developing clairvoyance, but the effect was not as real as clairvoyance.He decided to change his mind, invest in Taoism research, and strive to develop more practical things like clairvoyance to help His Majesty.

The emperor was very satisfied.I don't know how much money was wasted in the research and development of the laboratory for more than a month, and he is regretting it.Liu An's willingness to invest is equivalent to giving him a step down, so why not do it.Hearing Liu An's complaints, he even tried to comfort him a few words.

Liu An also said that he now has a desire to combine the collections of the Huainan Prince's Mansion and the palace, compare them with each other, and make a screening of the ancient books handed down from generation to generation.Since the imperial court abolished the book law, more and more ancient books have appeared. It is difficult for scholars to distinguish the authenticity.He is willing to spend the rest of his life proofreading books and leaving some credible classics for the world so that they will not be misunderstood.

The emperor pondered for a long time, but did not immediately agree.He knew that Liu An was referring to something. The so-called deliberate forgery, using the name of the ancients to confuse people, was probably referring to Dong Zhongshu.However, he couldn't refuse.Firstly, Liu An's reason was very legitimate, and secondly, Liu An just gave him clairvoyance, so he had to give Liu An some face.

Besides, with Liu An's deep academic accomplishment and the rich collection of books in the Huainan Palace, even if the emperor doesn't agree, he can do it himself.

The Son of Heaven mumbled to study again, then changed the subject, and talked to Liu An about the art of yellow and white.Liu An once presented a book to the Son of Heaven, specifically talking about the art of yellow and white.The two have a common language in this regard.

After talking for a long time, Liu An was sent away. The emperor looked at the box full of clairvoyance and was very happy.

"Do you think I should agree to the request of Huainan Wang's school secretary?"

Yan Zhu and King Wuqiu Shou each expressed their views, some were in favor of it, some were against it, and there was no dispute.Liang Xiao remained silent, picked up his clairvoyance, and tested them one by one.These clairvoyances should be improved products, and the imaging effect of the clairvoyance in his hands is much better.Although there is still some distortion in the image, the outline can basically be seen clearly.

"Liang Xiao, what do you think?"

Liang Xiao put down his clairvoyance, and bowed his hands in salute. "Your Majesty, I think it's a good thing, but it's not appropriate to implement it right now."

The emperor was surprised.In his opinion, Liang Xiao and the Lord Huainan were so close, he should support the King of Huainan. "Why?"

"School books are indeed helpful to distinguish the authenticity from the false, and to set the sight straight. However, what the ancients said is only a reference after all. The real knowledge still needs to proceed from reality. For example, the minister..."

"Haha..." Tianzi couldn't help laughing, turned around to Yan Zhu and the others and said, "I want to use his archery skills as a metaphor again."

Yan Zhu also smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Liang Junhou is a warrior, and archery is his ability to make achievements, so naturally he must often mention it."

Everyone laughed.Liang Xiao didn't care, and continued, "I believe that the key to practicing archery lies in perseverance. If you observe but don't practice, and you only know how to write well, even if you can memorize all the archery skills of the ancients, so what?"

The emperor nodded slightly.He understood what Liang Xiao meant.Dao is important, but art is even more indispensable.To solve practical problems, you have to focus on the real thing.Schooling is a major event, and it also consumes a lot of resources. When the war against Hungary is about to begin, it is indeed not appropriate to spend too much energy on these matters.

If the King of Huainan is willing to do it, let him do it. The court can ask him to check the books, but he can't preside over it with great fanfare.

"How has your knowledge progressed recently?"

"I practice archery day and night, so I don't have time to study." Liang Xiao scratched his head. "Your Majesty, please give me another three to five years. After defeating the main force of the Xiongnu, opening up the Western Regions, enfeoffing ten thousand households, and then returning to study. At that time, the minister has not yet been established, and there is still a lot of time for learning."

"You..." The emperor shook his head helplessly. "Well, I will give you another three to five years. I hope that by then, you will not find other reasons to shirk. If you don't study, you will be a martial artist after all. He is rough and poorly literate, and it is difficult to take on a big responsibility."

Liang Xiao was overjoyed and quickly agreed. "only!"

-

Although the emperor did not agree with Liu An's proposal to make a school book, Liu An was still full of energy.He issued a proposal to the kings, asking them to devote themselves to learning and do something within their ability to share the worries of the court.The purpose of the court's enfeoffment of the kings is to share the worries of the court and defend the royal family.Those who are around can provide soldiers and weapons, and those who are not around can also do something. No matter how bad it is, it is good to donate some money and food.

The kings reacted differently.Some volunteered to lead warriors and join the army to kill the enemy, such as Jiangdu King Liu Fei; there were also those who donated money and materials, such as Hejian King Liu De;

However, the emperor was very satisfied with Liu An's attitude, and his favorability soared.He issued an edict to reward Zengyi and a few sticks, which was extraordinarily gracious.Liu An was in the limelight for a while, and Huainan Mansion was full of guests, enough to compete with Guangchuan Mansion.

A battle without gunpowder began.

From the very beginning, Dong Zhongshu was at a disadvantage.In terms of status, he is not as noble as Liu An.In terms of strength, he is just a scholar, how can he compare with the mighty Huainan King.When it comes to the knowledge he is best at, he has no advantage at all, at most he is on par.

However, what made Dong Zhongshu feel lucky was that although Liu An was very powerful, he was uncharacteristically silent in his way of governing the country.On the contrary, he talked about some specific and trivial knowledge, such as arithmetic, natural history, and even such trivial problems as measuring the height of a building.

Dong Zhongshu didn't take it seriously when he heard it, but he couldn't stand that Huainan King was rich and self-willed, the hospitality was in place, and the food and wine were openly served. Even some of Dong Zhongshu's disciples couldn't resist the temptation, so they went to Huainan Mansion several times in the name of inquiring about news Yes, Da Da Ya Ji.

For a while, Dong Zhongshu felt left out.

Fortunately, the emperor did not give up on him, and often called him into the palace to discuss matters, and the talks lasted for a long time.He also often rewarded some money, accepted his recommendation, and called several of his disciples into the palace as Lang.Dong Zhongshu's official career is promising, but Dong Zhongshu has not suffered a complete defeat.

-

Three months passed in a flash, and the emperor issued an edict to worship Dong Zhongshu as Jiangdu Prime Minister and take office immediately.

Because of this, Liang Xiao got rid of the drudgery of standing guard and returned to the palace to serve as a military counselor.

Liang Xiao's family is in Maoling, so it's inconvenient to come and go.In order to allow Liang Xiao to enter the palace at any time, the emperor rewarded a mansion, which is opposite the north gate of Weiyang Palace.Liang Xiao moved the whole family here, and the original house was given to Tu Tian and his wife.Liang Yu was busy for a few more days and cleaned up the house.The house was getting bigger and the manpower was insufficient, so Liang Wei bought some slaves.

Moving to a new house will inevitably cause a lot of excitement, and another gift will be accepted.

Taking this opportunity, Liang Mi gave Liang Xiao a supplementary crown ceremony, indicating that Liang Xiao had officially come of age, and his master Huan Yuan took the name Bo Ming.

According to Liang Xiao's original intention, the name "Xiao" is enough to make publicity, and it's not good to use "Ming" as the character. It's better to choose a lower-key word to offset it, such as Zimo or something.However, his opinion was overruled by Liang Yu and Huan Yuan.They say that if a man is alive, he must be famous far and wide, so why not keep silent? If you really want to keep silent, it is better to go to the mountains and become a hermit.Not only must it sing, but it must also be a blockbuster, and the sound will shake the world. This is enough.

The word "Bo" not only represents the elder of the line, but also means "Ba".Liang Xiao is the only son, ranking is meaningless.So Liang Xiao felt that Huan Yuan's choice of this word for him was an expression of ambition on the one hand, and on the other hand, it might be an opportunity to miss the Overlord Xiang Yu.In any case, he can be regarded as Xiang Yu's reincarnation disciple.

One is the old lady, the other is the master, Liang Xiao didn't dare to refute, so he had to admit it.

Back in the palace, Liang Xiao told the emperor about the selection of characters, the emperor deliberated for a long time, and thought that Bo Ming was good.He said, you are just a young man, and you are also a warrior. You use Mo as a character, and you are somewhat bookish, not as loud as Bo Ming.If you don't sing, you're done. It's a blockbuster. It fits the current situation and is a good sign.

The emperor also thought it was good, so Liang Xiao had no choice but to accept his fate. From then on, his surname was Liang Xiao, and his courtesy name was Boming.

-

As time passed, spring passed and summer arrived, the temperature in Chang'an continued to rise, and the atmosphere in the palace became more and more tense.

Although the mobilization of the Han army had been concealed as much as possible, the Huns still heard the wind.The military minister Shan Yu also received the news that the Han Dynasty refused to make a marriage. He was furious and sent troops to harass the border many times.However, it was summer, and the horses were not fat enough, and the fighting power of the Huns was greatly reduced. The elements of demonstrations were more than actual threats, and they were driven out by the Han army one after another.

Taking this opportunity, the emperor simply tore off the disguise and officially announced to fight back against the Huns.

The war machine was activated, recruiting soldiers and transferring food and grass across the country.Under the emperor's deliberate propaganda, after several months of fermentation, the effect brought by Liang Xiao's example has already had a great impact, and the rangers in Chang'an were greatly encouraged, and they all enlisted in the army.Rangers from other places also rushed to the capital, especially in the Jianghuai area. Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, sent nearly ten thousand swordsmen and warriors alone.

Knowing that there are so many rangers in Jiangdu, the emperor was both surprised and delighted.Surprised that Liu Fei's strength is so strong, happy that although Liu Fei is rough and fierce, he only wants to fight, but has no intentions, and unexpectedly surrendered these powers on his own initiative.

After repeated discussions with Liang Xiao and others, the emperor approved Liu Fei's request to join the expedition, and ordered him to rush to Chang'an to go to the expedition with the imperial historian Han Anguo.After receiving the edict, Liu Fei led more than a hundred guards to ride day and night, and arrived in Chang'an in only seven days.

At the end of July, Liang Xiao received an order to rush to Longxi, as Li Guangxi's general, to assist Li Guang in pre-war preparations.
