Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 445 The Storm Comes Back

Liu Ling's speech was not only presented to Princess Guantao, but almost everyone who listened to the speech that day, including the emperor, had a copy.

The emperor was very entangled with this speech.

In all fairness, this survey has great significance. *********, the purpose of re-parenting is to strengthen the relationship and continue the future of the family. No one wants to give birth to unhealthy children.As the emperor, he doesn't want so many couples among his people to be infertile or of low quality.As a father, he didn't want himself to be a stupid son either.

Now it seems that it may be a good thing not to give birth to a queen, but the real disaster is to give birth to a fool.

However, the emperor faintly felt that this matter was not as beautiful as it seemed.Although there is no evidence that Liu Ling was entrusted by the queen to do this, in fact, she really created a problem for him.If Wei Zifu gave birth to a prince, will Empress Chen abdicate?

Huainan Wang is not willing to give up, and wants to fight Princess Guantao?Not to mention whether Liu Ling has such thoughts, at least Princess Guantao does.Wei Qihou Dou Ying suddenly became active, which made the emperor feel some crisis.

Did Liang Xiao play any role in it?The emperor's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his face changed slightly.

At this moment, Zhu Maichen walked in quickly, holding a memorial in his hand. "Your Majesty, the champion Hou Liangxiao wrote a letter."

The Son of Heaven blinked at Zhu Maichen, and thought to himself, what a genius, as soon as he thinks of him, his memorial will arrive.

"What did he say?" the emperor asked after receiving the memorial.

"He impeached Jiangdu prince Liu Jian for being unfilial, sending envoys improperly, and humiliating the heroic spirit of Jiangdu king."

The emperor blinked, opened the memorial and read it again, then snorted. "Is he avenging his own personal revenge?"

Zhu Maichen didn't say a word, but he was very happy in his heart.Of course he felt that Liang Xiao was avenging his personal revenge, but the emperor didn't ask, he couldn't take the initiative to say it, at most he could only mention it intentionally or unintentionally.Although he has not been in the Ministry of Servant for a long time, from Yan Zhu's mouth, he already has a certain understanding of the emperor's character, and knows when to say something and when not to say anything.

Besides, after reading books for so many years, the word sycophant is definitely not the evaluation he hopes to get.

"You Wu Chu people, do you all hold grudges like this?"

Zhu Maichen froze for a moment, a little embarrassed.He thought nervously.What does the word "Tianzi" mean?Do you want to blame Liang Xiao, or do you want to say something?
See Zhu Maichen speechless.The emperor smiled, and gently put Liang Xiao's memorial on the case. "Feng Ji provoked Liang Xiao because of his bad luck. You can't blame others. Liu Jian is indeed Meng Lang. How can the servants of his wife's family take on this important task? Zhu Maichen, you go to Jiangdu."

"Wei!" Zhu Maichen responded, and then asked again: "Your Majesty, how should Liang Xiao deal with Feng Ji's embarrassment?"

"I know he's unhappy." The Son of Heaven snorted, "If it's just a little temper, forget it. If you don't know how to advance and retreat, I'm afraid it won't be of much use, at least you have to be neat and orderly."

Zhu Maichen half understood, but he didn't dare to ask any more, so he withdrew.

The emperor was alone in the hall, thought for a while, then suddenly laughed and shook his head. "After all, he is a martial artist, even he is so rough in treating Qi."

-

Zhu Maichen went down the hall, found Yan Zhu, told the story, and asked sincerely: "Yan Jun, is there anything wrong with my response? Why does the emperor have such a weird expression and let me go to Jiangdu instead?"

Yan Zhu glanced at Zhu Maichen with a smile.In front of Zhu Maichen, he has a respect that he can't enjoy in front of others.

"Sit down and talk."

"Here." Zhu Maichen sat down opposite, crossed his hands, and looked at Yan Zhu respectfully.Although he is a few years older than Yan Zhu, according to the rules, he is supported by Yan Zhu and should be treated with courtesy.

"Why did the Son of Heaven send Liang Xiao to Jiangdu?" Yan Zhu said with a smile, "Don't he know that Liang Xiao and Liu Jian have a feud?"

Zhu Maichen was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized. "Is this the emperor deliberately giving him a chance to vent his grievances?"

"Liang Xiao is a martial artist. He doesn't read much and has a simple mind. If he feels uncomfortable, he can't deal with it. He can only go straight. If the emperor wants to support Wei Qing, he will naturally belittle Liang Xiao. If he is not given a chance to vent, in case Liang Xiao What should Xiao do if he is spoiling in Chang'an?"

"Not bad, not bad." Zhu Maichen took the topic and said with a smile: "If it's someone else, then that's fine. Liang Xiao is a young hero who is highly valued by the emperor. He suddenly turned his face and felt embarrassed."

"That's right. Brother Zhu, you can infer other things from one fact. This is the strength of a scholar."

"Thank you Yan Jun for your reminder." Zhu Maichen bowed to the end. "I see."

"Don't have a direct conflict with Liang Xiao. If you do many wrongdoings, you will kill yourself. It doesn't matter if you let him be proud. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. The emperor is right. We Wu Chu people hold grudges like this. Why don't we take revenge if we have grudges?" Standing in the world?"

Zhu Maichen nodded knowingly.

-

At the end of January, Liang Xiao rushed to Jiangdu.

Prince Liu Jian and Prime Minister Dong Zhongshu went to the border to welcome them.

Liu Jian looked haggard, like an eggplant beaten by frost.After the news of Feng Ji's death by Liang Xiao came back, Liu Jian became very manic for a while, yelling and wanting to fight Liang Xiao to the end.If Dong Zhongshu, the prime minister of the state, hadn't stopped him, he might have written to the emperor.A few days later, Zhu Maichen, the envoy of the Son of Heaven, arrived and severely condemned Liu Jian for employing people improperly and suspected of being unfilial. Only then did Liu Jian realize that his situation was not good.

The Son of Heaven is obviously pulling the wrong frame.Liang Xiao killed his envoy. The emperor didn't say a word about Liang Xiao, and didn't even investigate. He directly accepted Liang Xiao's opinion. Isn't this a bias or something?
Liu Jian was wronged.When had he ever been angry like this, let alone Liang Xiao was once his subject.While suppressing his anger and preparing for Liu Fei's funeral, he sent people to Beijing to ask Gaihou Wangxin to come forward and write a letter to the emperor to impeach Liang Xiao.

Before that, he could only endure.

This feeling is very uncomfortable, and he can only bear it.Today's Liang Xiao is no longer the knight-errant he was back then. He is the champion of the [-] households in the city, the favorite of the emperor, and a talent admired by the former king Liu Fei during his lifetime.When dealing with Liang Xiao at this time, it is easy to give others a handle.If he were to be charged with unfilial piety, it would be hard to say whether he would be able to succeed Jiangdu King.

The current strategy is to keep the throne first.

Liu Jian hated Liang Xiao deeply, but Liang Xiao had no time to talk to him.After explaining the official duties, Liang Xiao took time to find Dong Zhongshu.

Dong Zhongshu is concentrating on Liu Fei's funeral.The Han people regard death as life, and death is a very important etiquette among all rituals. Dong Zhongshu is a great Confucian, and he wholeheartedly wants to promote Confucianism to become the political thought of the empire. Naturally, people should not think that he is not knowledgeable enough, and his etiquette is not comprehensive.For Liang Xiao's visit, he was very surprised and somewhat relieved.

The emperor once asked Liang Xiao to hold a halberd for him, which was an honor he liked to talk about.

"I'm here today because I have something to talk to Mr. Dong about." Liang Xiao was not polite and got straight to the point. "King Jiangdu sacrificed his life for the country, and the imperial court will definitely give honor and favor to comfort the heroic spirit of Jiangdu King. Dong Gong is the prime minister of the country and has the responsibility of assisting the government. I don't know if Dong Gong has a plan to stabilize the country?"

Dong Zhongshu knew that Liang Xiao and Liu Jian were at odds, and he also knew Liang Xiao's reason for coming, so he deliberately said: "What is the meaning of this, Your Majesty?"

"Dong Gong, I won't beat around the bush with you. Let's just say it directly. I don't think Liu Jian's talents are enough to be king. If he succeeds, it will only shame the king of Jiangdu. At that time, Dong Gong may also have to bear the blame."

Dong Zhongshu didn't say a word.He knows all about Liu Jian's virtues.Although Liang Xiao had the intention of avenging public and private revenge, but in terms of his heart, what he said was reasonable.

"Then what does the prince mean?"

"The body of King Jiangdu has returned to Jiangdu safely, and my mission is over. Dong Gong and Zhu Maichen are responsible for the rest. I shouldn't have interrupted. The reason why I don't avoid suspicion is because I have some karma with Dong Gong." I don’t want to see Dong Gong I’s name ruined by him.”

Dong Zhongshu smiled.He understood what Liang Xiao meant.Liang Xiao wanted to use his hand to take revenge on Liu Jian and use him as a swordsman. Does he look so stupid?
"Thank you for your concern. Zhong Shu was entrusted by His Majesty to be Jiangdu. Although he has little virtue and talent, he should encourage himself. Master said: There is no distinction between education. Ordinary people can't give up lightly, let alone the prince of Jiangdu has an heir. The truth? Zhongshu dare not follow orders."

"Since Mr. Dong said so, then I have nothing to say." Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, with a half-smile.Dong Zhongshu didn't know how big a deal he was involved in, and he didn't object to being tied up with a scum like Liu Jian.He didn't come to Dong Zhongshu to mess with Liu Jian. That kind of scum doesn't need to be messed with, and sooner or later he will kill himself.

He came to Dong Zhongshu for more important matters.Huang Lao's struggle with Confucianism is not over yet, now that Dong Zhongshu has shown his flaws, how can he let him go so easily.

"Mr. Dong, my mother returned home to visit relatives. After hearing about your political achievements, she was full of praise. When I came back this time, I also heard many people praise Dong Gong's governance. It is really gratifying. Dong Gong is a great Confucian. , as an official, you are a good official, and you will be the mainstay of the court in the future."

Dong Zhongshu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.He stroked his beard and said a few words modestly. "How dare you, how dare you, the Lord has won the prize."

"However, I also heard some bad opinions. Some people complained about Dong Gong's begging for rain. Dong Gong should also be more careful."

Dong Zhongshu was already prepared.When Liang Yu went back to his hometown to visit his relatives, he once arranged for someone to receive them. He was the one who presided over the construction of the Qianqiu Pavilion in the former residence of the Liang family. "The sage set up ghosts and gods to teach the people, and praying for rain is also closely related to people's livelihood. How can such a big event be controlled by those witches? Your lord, you must not be fooled by those people."

Liang Xiao was unmoved. "Dong Gong, is this begging for rain... really effective?"

Dong Zhongshu didn't think about it. "Heaven and man are one, sincerity leads to spirit." Just kidding, this is one of the foundations of the knowledge he created, how can it be easily discredited.

"How many times have you prayed for rain and how many times have you succeeded?"

Dong Zhongshu's eyes flashed, and he hesitated. "Ask once, succeed once."

Liang Xiao nodded. "If that's the case, then I will make a name for Dong Gong and play the role of emperor. But if..." He glanced at Dong Zhongshu, and smiled silently, very sinisterly. "This crime of deceiving the emperor is not a joke. Should Mr. Dong think it over again?"

Dong Zhongshu's complexion changed drastically, and the back of his neck felt cold.He knew that Liang Xiao's visit today was not kind, and the Confucianism and Taoism disputes were about to be torn apart again.
