Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 441 Li Guangfeng Marquis
Liang Xiao only stayed at home for two days, then hurriedly set off to Youbeiping.

Before leaving, he sent someone to send a letter to Liu Ling, asking her to arrange for someone to investigate and count one thing: the birth status of double-dear couples.

Liu Ling was extremely intelligent, and after a little thought, he understood what Liang Xiao meant.There are many people around her who have heavy relatives, and it is not uncommon for the children born to be abnormal, but they just didn't think about it.After all, whether it is infertility or dementia, it is not uncommon to see non-big relatives in families, and many children die before reaching adulthood. Who would have thought of the impact of heavy relatives.

But Liu Ling believed in Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao is good at discovering hidden truths from seemingly ordinary things, which has been proven many times.

The only thing Liu Ling didn't understand was that Liang Xiao asked her to arrange this matter in person, not to let Princess Guantao and Mrs. Dou participate, and not even let them know about it, nor accept their sponsorship.Liu Ling didn't care about the issue of funds. With the two businesses of double-faced brocade and colored glaze in hand, she made a lot of money every day and had a lot of money, so she didn't care about the money at all.However, doing so obviously meant to challenge the emperor.

This is not in line with Liang Xiao's usual style, even the Huainan Palace has not been so direct.After all, what they are facing is the emperor, not ordinary people.

What's wrong with Liang Xiao?
Liu Ling thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to follow Liang Xiao's request.She found a dozen or so little princes, young masters, and noble ladies who had nothing to do and kept clamoring to play with her, arranged tasks, made clear requirements, and visited some important figures in person.

Chang'an is a land of wealth and honor. There are countless princes and rich families. Out of the idea of ​​safeguarding vested interests, heavy relatives are the most popular among them, which is far more important than ordinary people.Of course, it also caused a lot more trouble than ordinary people.

Liu Ling has a very realistic need to investigate and study this issue. No one wants to be born with dementia, and no one wants to get married but not have an heir.Therefore, this research has received the full support of countless people.Even though Liu Ling deliberately kept a low profile, he still became a hot topic of conversation among the dignitaries in Chang'an.

However, Chang'an has been relatively lively recently, and this somewhat playful survey conducted by a group of powerful children did not quickly attract the emperor's attention.It was the end of the year, all the counties were planning, the kings came to the court, and countless foreigners poured into Chang'an. The emperor asked about politics every day, and he was so busy that he hit the back of his head. go out.

At the same time, the northern Xinjiang soldiers represented by Li Guang returned to the court and brought back nearly a thousand Hun captives. Among them were extraordinary Hun nobles, and there were more than a dozen small tribal kings alone.They were imprisoned outside the north gate of Weiyang Palace, which attracted a large number of Chang'an people to watch, and became the most talked about topic before and after dinner, bar none.Compared with Liu Ling's research, this issue has a stronger mass base and wider spread.

After several court discussions, the emperor issued an imperial edict to reward the soldiers who went to the expedition.

Li Guang surrendered King Xiutu by force, beheaded King Loufan in battle, accumulatively surrendered and beheaded more than [-] levels, and was granted the title of Marquis of Ji, [-] households in Shiyi, and [-] gold.

Han Anguo beheaded more than [-] levels successively, and was granted the title of Marquis of An, with [-] households in the city and a thousand gold.

Cheng Buzhi beheaded [-] ranks successively, granted the title of Marquis of Qu in Yang, granted [-] households in Shiyi, and bestowed a thousand pieces of gold.

In addition to the three chief generals, Liang Xiao, Wei Qing, Li Xi and other generals also received awards respectively.Among them, Liang Xiao and Wei Qing received the heaviest rewards.Liang Xiaoyi sealed [-] households, a total of [-] households, and bestowed thousands of gold.Wei Qing was granted the title of Marquis of Changping, with [-] households in Shiyi, and was bestowed with a thousand pieces of gold.

In addition, Li Gan, Gongsun Rongnu, Gongsun Ao, Zhang Cigong, Su Jian and others were also conferred marquises due to military merits, ranging from hundreds to thousands of households, and the largest number was Guanneihou.Their military exploits were not enough to confer titles to Marquises, and some were even reluctant to be Marquises of Guan Nei. However, the Son of Heaven won the first battle, and out of encouragement for his military exploits, they also gave them excellent rewards.

For a time, the morale of Chang'an City was high, and the hearts of the people were restless.Inspired by former friends who returned from meritorious service, countless rangers decided to join the army, hoping to change their destiny with martial arts and courage.

When Liang Xiao was not in Beijing, Li Guang was the most admired role model for rangers.Li Guang's father and son were made Marquis on the same day, and the Son of Heaven granted him a house next door to Liang Xiao's house.Moving to a new home naturally requires a big banquet and guests. The Li family is crowded with guests almost every day, and the congratulatory gifts received are piled up like mountains and countless.

Some people are proud, others are frustrated, Wei Qihou Dou Ying is one of them.

Speaking of it, Dou Ying is also a rare talent, both civil and military, able to lead the army in combat, and able to study for learning.During the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, he served as a general and together with Taiwei Zhou Yafu led the army to fight against Wu and Chu.Later, he served as the prince's Taifu, assisted the prince Liu Rong, and was honored and favored.

However, most talented people have a temper, and so does Dou Ying.He even lost the opportunity to be the head of the hundred officials-the prime minister.For today's emperor, he can be regarded as dedicated to his duties, and he has fought hard with Queen Mother Dou several times.When the Son of Heaven came to the throne, he and Tian Fu recommended Confucian scholars and implemented changes, but they were demoted together.

But the results were quite different.Tian Fu has not lost his honor and favor, and still has enough influence on the government, but he has completely sunk, and the emperor seems to have forgotten him.He originally thought that the emperor was afraid of the Dou family because of the empress dowager's relationship, so it was inconvenient to use him.When the empress dowager passes away and the threat from the Dou family disappears, he will return to the court and once again show his grand ambitions.

Now he realized that he really thought too much.

The empress dowager passed away, and Tian Fu became the prime minister, so he continued to be idle.

The Son of Heaven sent troops to fight back against the Xiongnu. Li Guang, Cheng Bushi, and even Han Anguo, the general of the Liang Kingdom, all led the army.

Now, Li Guang and others are enshrined as marquises, they are famous all over the world, and there are many guests, but no one thinks of him, Dou Ying.

Dou Ying was very disappointed and angry because of this.He thanked the guests behind closed doors, and neither followed the crowd to congratulate Li Guang and others' residences, nor did he see any guests.Of course, he doesn't have any guests now, and it doesn't make any difference whether the door is closed or not.

Until Princess Guantao came to the door.

Dou Ying was surprised by Princess Guantao's visit.Because of his opposition to King Liang's succession to the throne, he had a very unpleasant quarrel with the Empress Dowager, and he also had some relationship with the eldest princess.He has been at home for so many years, and Princess Guantao has never visited his door.With a sudden visit, Dou Ying was a little confused about the situation.

The first thing he thought of was sympathy.Obviously, after the death of the Empress Dowager, Princess Guantao was also very disappointed.The moment Dou Ying thought of this, she refused in her heart.He didn't even want to receive Princess Tao, but under the persuasion of his old wife, he reluctantly came out to welcome guests.

Princess Guantao entered the hall, took a look at Dou Ying, and smiled lightly: "Wei Qihou closed the door to thank guests, is it because he is old, weak and lacks energy?"

Dou Ying remained silent, too lazy to speak.

Princess Guantao is very clear about Dou Ying's temper, and she is not angry.She said slowly: "Wei Qihou can take good care of his body. At your age, there are not many people who are enshrined with military merit. Today is the world of young people, and the world of common people."

Dou Ying snorted, her face turned pale.These few words of Princess Guantao can be said to have touched his heart.He is a nobleman, but he is different from the nobles of those heirs. His marquis was earned by himself through military exploits.This is one of the reasons for his pride.In terms of blood, he is qualified to be proud, and in terms of ability, he is not inferior to others.

"I heard that Li Guang sealed [-] households?"

"Well, but he is not the most, Liang Xiao closed [-] households." Princess Guantao glanced at Dou Ying. "Seeing Liang Xiao, will Wei Qihou think of the past?"

The smile on Dou Ying's face increased a bit.He thought of the time when he first entered the official career, and his eyes revealed the reminiscence of the past years.

"How can I compare with him. When I was named Marquis with military merits, I was already in my prime."

"It's a difference in luck. Li Guang can be named a Marquis today with his military merits, but Emperor Xiaowen once said that if he was born in the time of Emperor Gao, he would be a Marquis of ten thousand households. If you are about the same age as Liang Xiao today, your military merits may not be weaker than him. Among your peers, you are the best."

"Hehehe..." Dou Ying finally laughed out loud.He stroked his beard and glanced at Princess Guantao. "The grand lord came to the door today, isn't it just to make me happy?"

"How dare you." Princess Guantao smiled sweetly. "There are a few things that I can't figure out. After sorting out the people I know well, I feel that only Wei Qihou can explain this to me, so I took the liberty to visit. Wei Qihou, your threshold is too high, it's not easy to get in."

Dou Ying smiled awkwardly and went straight to the point. "How can you be so virtuous? How dare you solve the confusion for the Grand Master. I don't know what is wrong with the Grand Master?"

"Does Wei Qihou know the result of the recent feudal marquis?"

Dou Ying nodded, her face was a little ugly.Of course he knew the result of being a Marquis, otherwise he wouldn't be so disappointed.

"Three armies attacked, Li Guang got [-] households alone, Han Anguo and Cheng Bushi only had [-] households, why?"

"What's so hard to understand, Li Guang has a lot of work, so naturally he has a lot of food." Dou Ying blurted out, and then felt that it was too hasty.He thought for a while, thoughtfully. "Li Guang has a lot of cavalry, so he has more merit. Han Anguo and Cheng Bushi are mainly infantry, so they have less merit. To deal with the Huns, of course cavalry is effective."

"So, Wei Qing, as a lieutenant general, is superior to Cheng Bushi and Han Anguo, and it's also because of his cavalry?"

Dou Ying hesitated. "probably."

"But I still don't quite understand. They are both lieutenant generals. Liang Xiao only led three thousand horses, and Wei Qing led ten thousand horses. The number of beheadings of the two is almost the same. Why Liang Xiao only sealed two thousand households, but Wei Qing was able to seal one A thousand or eight hundred households?"

Dou Ying suddenly realized.He laughed and said, "I'm afraid the grand lord is not fighting for Liang Xiao, but because he feels that the Chen family has no one and is being compared to the Wei family, right?"

"There is no one in the Chen family, but there are people in the Dou family." Princess Guantao rolled her eyes and smiled. "Wei Qihou, you are the pillar of the Dou family now, are you willing to see the Dou family leaderless and being trampled underfoot?"

Dou Ying let out a long sigh: "So what if you want to, so what if you don't want to, what else can I do besides lying idle and looking at the mountains?"

Princess Guantao smiled and said: "Who said that if you are not in the court, you can't have influence? Don't you know that the sage does not do anything and teaches without words. With Wei Qihou's influence, there is no need to go into battle shirtless, just wave your hand , can change the trend in Chang'an."
