Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 447 Old Love
Liu Fei was buried in a magnificent manner, and his posthumous title was Lie.

Those who have contributed to the peace of the people are said to be strong.For Liu Fei, his posthumous posthumous title of Lie meant that the imperial court recognized his military exploits.

The emperor's mind was too deep, Liang Xiao didn't dare to guess randomly.In his opinion, the emperor's acknowledgment of Liu Fei's military exploits may have another meaning.

Many people disagree with Cheng Bushi and Han Anguo's feuding.According to the military merit system, their number of beheadings is not enough, especially Cheng Bushi, whose losses are relatively large, and the number of beheadings is seriously insufficient.

However, the emperor accepted some of Liang Xiao's suggestions, and decided that Cheng Bushi's persistence had a decisive impact on the entire battle situation, so he sealed Qianhu Hou as a sign of comfort.In order to avoid criticism, it is very important to praise Liu Fei's military exploits.According to the military merit system, Liu Fei was defeated and he himself died in battle, so how can there be any military merits to speak of?But his blatant counterattack delayed Zuo Xianwang's department and bought time for Han Anguo and Wei Qing's reinforcements, so he made a contribution.

This is just Liang Xiao's own guess, whether the emperor thinks so, he is not sure.

Liang Xiao himself was very grateful to Liu Fei, so he participated in the whole process of Liu Fei's funeral, until he was sent to the tomb of Dayun Mountain.

After finishing the business, the rivalry between Liang Xiao and Liu Jian was staged again.

Liu Fei is safe in the ground, but Liu Jian is even more out of his mind.So far, the emperor has not issued an imperial edict allowing him to succeed to the throne.According to common sense, the court should decide the ownership of the throne at the moment of learning that Liu Fei died in battle.But the strange thing is that so far, the imperial court has not issued an edict.Liu Jian can only be buried as a prince.

Liu Jian believed that Liang Xiao was obstructing this incident.He remembered what happened back then, he didn't give up after driving Feng Ji to death, and insisted on killing him.

Sure enough, not long after the funeral, Liang Xiao put forward a proposal in front of Zhu Maichen, the emissary of the emperor, and Dong Zhongshu, the prime minister of Jiangdu: Take back the emperor's banner that Emperor Xiaojingwen bestowed to Lie Wang back then, or put the emperor's banner in Jiangdu's ancestral temple. In a word, it cannot be left to Liu Jian.

Neither Zhu Maichen nor Dong Zhongshu dared to express their opinions casually.

This issue is very sensitive. The Son of Heaven banner was awarded to Liu Fei by Emperor Xiaojing for his achievements in defeating Wu, and it was given to Liu Fei himself, not to Jiangdu.Now that Liu Fei has been buried in the ground, it is reasonable for Liang Xiao to suggest that the emperor's banner should be withdrawn.Besides, they also knew that although Liu Jian did not have Liu Fei's martial arts, in terms of daring, he was better than blue.If Liu Jian were to leave the banner of the Son of Heaven to inherit it, there would be no guarantee that this guy would cause trouble one day because of it.

The emperor's banner seems to be glorious, but it is actually a very tricky thing.But whoever was given the banner of the Son of Heaven will end up with no good end.Liu Fei's death in battle is still a good death, and Liu Wucai, who was also awarded the emperor's banner for his achievements in breaking Wu and Chu, is sadly devastated.In all fairness, Liang Xiao's suggestion that the imperial court withdraw the Son of Heaven's banner is not only not revenge, but a protection.

At least that's what it looks like on the surface.

But Liu Jian obviously didn't think so, he thought it was Liang Xiao attacking him, and withdrawing the emperor's banner was not only ignoring Liu Fei's military achievements, but also slapping him in the face.If he couldn't even keep the honor that his late father bought with his life, what face would he have to succeed to the throne?

Liu Jian sent his cronies to persuade Zhu Maichen and Dong Zhongshu to oppose Liang Xiao's proposal.At the same time, he also sent someone to contact Liang Xiao to test the possibility of reconciliation.

This person is his father-in-law Hu Ying.

Hu Ying spent a lot of effort to find Lizheng Wang Fengshi in Qingyunli, and asked him to mediate.After receiving Hu Ying's heavy gift, Wang Fengshi first found Tu Niu'er, and then Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao reluctantly agreed to give Wang Fengshi a face, and accepted Hu Ying's invitation to have a banquet at Hu's mansion.

Hu Ying was overjoyed, and after making a fuss about it, he came to invite him personally.Liang Xiao took his entourage and came to Hu's house, all the way majestic.Originally, he only brought a dozen knights with him, but this time he asked Tu Niuer to temporarily recruit hundreds of knights, all of whom were from the Southwest Gang who played together back then.

In a few years, he was named Marquis with his military exploits. Liang Xiao, who was not outstanding back then, is now a well-deserved idol of the rangers in Guangling City.He does not forget his old feelings, and of course the rangers have to show face.With an order, more than a hundred people flocked to protect Liang Xiao and rushed to Hu's house for a banquet.

Hu Ying couldn't laugh or cry when he saw hundreds of fierce and vicious knight-errants, but he could only hold his nose and bear it.Today is not what it used to be, Liang Xiao can come here just to save face, how can he pay so much attention.Spend money to buy peace.

Hu Ying arranged for people to hurry up to replenish food and drink, and at the same time went out to greet him in person.

Liang Xiao got off his horse, and pointed helplessly at the ranger beside him. "They are all good friends from back then. It's rare to come back for a trip. We get together less and leave more, so we have no choice but to bring them to your residence together."

"Welcome, welcome." Hu Ying smirked. "I have admired your great names for a long time, but I have no chance to meet them. If it weren't for the princes, how would I have such an honor. Please, please!"

Liang Xiao was also polite, and walked in the door first.It was very difficult for him to get into the Hu family before, but now he has a different status and is a distinguished guest wherever he goes.

Tu Niu'er and others followed in together, pushing the members of the Hu family aside, making it clear that they didn't trust the Hu family, as if the Hu family was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.Hu Ying didn't dare to say anything, he invited Liang Xiao to the hall and asked his family members to come out to meet him.

Looking at the young and old of the Hu family in Luo Bai's hall, especially the white-haired Hu Ying and his wife, Liang Xiao's face softened slightly.Although Hu Lai died under the sword of Li Rongqing, it was designed by him alone. Moreover, Li Rongqing is also his concubine now, so Hu Lai died at his hands.It is not easy for Hu Ying to bow his head even though the white-haired man gave away the black-haired man's revenge.He can't do too much, at least he has to show a little bit of guts in his performance.

Liang Xiao got up and helped Hu Ying and his wife up.

"Hu Weng, let's forget about the unhappiness back then. The Liang family and the Hu family have settled their grievances from now on, how about it?"

Hu Ying nodded repeatedly.So what?Liu Jian didn't dare to act recklessly, so what can the Hu family do with Liang Xiao?
"Thank you, Lord, for your tolerance."

Hu Ying repelled the crowd and said again: "Your Majesty, please enter the inner hall to speak."

Liang Xiao looked at Hu Ying suspiciously. "Is there anything that can't be said here?"

"I learned that the Lord Junhou is coming, and the little girl is back. I have a few words, I want to have an interview with the Lord, and I ask the Lord to give me a chance."

Liang Xiao blinked.Hu Chengguang?He couldn't even remember the man. "Isn't this... inappropriate for etiquette?"

"Please give me a chance." Hu Ying kowtowed repeatedly.

Liang Xiao pondered for a while, then reluctantly nodded, got up and followed Hu Ying to the inner hall.Hu Chengguang was dressed in commoner clothes, without any makeup or pearl hairpins, and knelt at the bottom of the steps.Seeing Liang Xiao coming in, she prostrated herself on the ground. "Hu Chengguang, the daughter of the people, pay my respects to the champion."

Liang Xiao stopped, Hu Ying retreated quietly, and closed the door behind him.Liang Xiao looked back and thought it was very funny. "For the sake of the throne, Liu Jian really doesn't even want a bit of dignity. How dare you let a majestic princess like you come to beg me?"

"There is only one imperial edict between the crown princess and the guilty woman." Hu Chengguang raised his head, his plain face turned to the sky. "I beg you to be merciful, please, for the sake of the love of the day, give the prince a way of life, and give the concubine a way of life."

Liang Xiao bypassed Hu Chengguang, came to the hall and sat down.

Hu Chengguang got up, went to the hall, and took a seat on the mat opposite Liang Xiao, maintaining a kneeling posture.

Liang Xiao tidied up his clothes slowly. "One thing, I want to make it clear in advance that the grievances between me and the prince have nothing to do with you. lest someone make irresponsible remarks in the future and affect your reputation."

Hu Chengguang nodded repeatedly. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

"I'm not saying polite words." Liang Xiao was expressionless and very serious. "Since you came to mediate, you must know why he was against me back then. This knot can't be solved, and this matter can't be finished."

Hu Chengguang was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that Liang Xiao was not being polite. "Dare to ask your lord, what is it?"

"Is there a Handan man named Liang E in the crown prince's womb?"

Hu Chengguang thought about it. "There is indeed a concubine named Liang Mo who is good at singing and dancing. Why, is she old with the lord?"

"Although her surname is Liang, she has nothing to do with me. She just stayed at my house for a few days. However, her father, Liang Fu, originally planned to dedicate her to King Lie. He killed Liang Fu, and then chased me to kill him in order to silence him."

Hu Chengguang suddenly realized, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Seeing Hu Chengguang's expression, Liang Xiao wondered, "So you don't know about this matter?"

"I don't know. However, I know what the prince is like. Since the prince said so, he must be right."

"Well, my request is very simple. Whether to go or stay is up to Liang Mo himself, and the crown prince must not hinder him. The crown prince must give an explanation for Liang Fu's death."

"Okay!" Hu Chengguang agreed. "Within three days, I will let Liang Mo leave Jiangdu Kingdom, and give her a generous Cheng Yi. Junhou, what else do you want?"

"I have no other requirements." Liang Xiao stood up, flicked his sleeves, and got up to leave.He took two steps, then turned back to look at Hu Chengguang. "You just said about the love of the day, then I will read it based on the love of the day and make a suggestion."

A blush flashed across Hu Chengguang's face. "Your Majesty, please tell me."

"Take care of Liu Jian, don't let him continue to mess around. Otherwise, even if I let him go this time, he will play himself to death. It doesn't matter if he dies, but your Hu family has invested so much in him. Don’t you want to be unlucky? Tianzibanqi, to him, I’m afraid it’s not an honor, but a curse. That’s all I have to say, you can do it yourself.”

After finishing speaking, Liang Xiao turned around and left, throwing Hu Chengguang onto the hall alone.

Hu Chengguang was both lucky and disappointed.Back then, Liang Xiao had longed for her so much, but now he dismisses her and abandons her like a shoe.

Liang Xiao went out, and Hu Ying was standing outside the door, in a daze, when he heard footsteps, he couldn't help being stunned. "Your Majesty, are you done talking?"

"En." Liang Xiao nodded, without any hesitation, he quickly walked out of the inner hall, came to the atrium, and chatted and laughed with the rangers.The rangers were a little surprised.They didn't know what Liang Xiao was doing when he entered the inner hall of Hu's house, and he came out in such a short time?

Tu Niu'er knew the inside story, so he came up to meet him and was about to speak.Liang Xiao laughed softly: "Don't worry, this is just the beginning, it's not over yet."

Tu Niu'er heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.He knew that with Liang Xiao's words, Feng Ji's fate would soon befall Liu Jian.
