Chapter 465

Liang Xiao was stunned for a while, before he said with some anxiety: "Your Majesty, inner sage and outer king...do you mean this too?"

"Almost." The emperor was immersed in his own comprehension, and was fascinated for a while, so he didn't notice Liang Xiao's expression.Han Yan kept staring at Liang Xiao, seeing Liang Xiao's embarrassment, she immediately made up the knife with a smile. "It seems that your comprehension is not enough, who said you can draw inferences from one instance?"

Liang Xiao laughed and said, "I'm ashamed, I really didn't think of this. The realm of the inner sage and the outer king is too high for me to think about. I am a layman who only cares about daily necessities."

"Rice, rice, oil, salt?" The emperor cast a contemptuous glance at Liang Xiao. "You have [-] households in the city, and you still pay attention to daily necessities like ordinary people?"

"Three thousand and eight hundred households in the food town is quite a lot, but it can't be wasted." Liang Xiao said confidently. "Can you be willful if you have money? Your Majesty only knows that I have a food town of [-] households, but he doesn't know that I also have times when money is tight. For example, everyone thinks that it is a blessing for me to marry the Lord of Huainan, but they don't know I was so sad about this. If it’s just embarrassing myself, then that’s fine. But if it’s embarrassing His Majesty, how can I deserve it?”

The emperor is baffled. "Whether you lose face or not, what does it have to do with me?"

"Your Majesty, think about it." Liang Xiao successfully brought the topic back, and continued to settle accounts with his fingers. "As far as the current situation is concerned, Chen is one of the young generals who have been promoted the fastest. In just a few years, not only did he rise from a commoner to the sky, he became an official, he was named a champion, and His Majesty even married the minister. Looking around the world, who doesn't know that Chen Received great grace from His Majesty?"

"So you know too?" The emperor curled his lips, pleased with himself, and his eyes became much gentler.

"I'm nervous because I know it. Originally, according to my intention, I can keep it simple, have a few banquets, invite a few old friends, and do it quietly. But what will others think? If I get married, I will If you plan carefully, you will inevitably fall into poverty, but those dandies who are lying on their ancestral property for eating, drinking and having fun can spend their way willfully, who will take military meritorious service as a way to make progress in the future?"

The emperor was stunned, thinking that what Liang Xiao said made some sense.

Seeing the change in the emperor's face, Han Yan became impatient, and deliberately teased in a relaxed tone: "You can't say that, Weiqing only has [-] households, so it's still doing well. Who made your heart so high that you want to marry Huainan Wengzhu?"

Liang Xiao asked back: "Then what do you think, is it better for the warriors who have done meritorious service for the country to marry the nobles of the clan, or for those dudes to marry the beautiful girls of heaven?"

"Of course..." Han Yan said halfway, suddenly alerted, and immediately closed her mouth.He looked at Liang Xiao, and Liang Xiao also looked at him, the two stared at each other like fighting cocks, they were speechless for a while, but their eyebrows danced, their eyes met, and there were lightning flashes and thunder.

The emperor heard clearly.He clapped his hands and let out a long sigh.After hearing this sigh, Han Yan's heart suddenly turned cold, and she regretted it too late.

Needless to say, the emperor knew that Liang Xiao had accidentally hit the emperor's heart again.Why did the Son of Heaven support Liu Ling's research results on the impact of heavy relatives on fertility?On the one hand, heavy family relationship does affect the quality of household registration, on the other hand, heavy family relationship is an important way for the powerful to communicate with each other.If the propaganda about the dangers of heavy relatives is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there are scruples among the powerful, it will also help the court to disintegrate their power.

From the perspective of the imperial court, of course they do not want the rich and powerful to marry each other and become one.If the princess and the Lord Weng are like Liu Ling, marrying Liang Xiao, a newly promoted military class who was born as a commoner, not only can more people join the army and fight for the court, but also take the opportunity to dispel the intricate power of the powerful and influence the court. Great advantage.

Liang Xiao was the example he set up with all his efforts, and he also promised Liang Xiao to be the officiant. If Liang Xiao's wedding was poorly organized, wouldn't he be ashamed too?

"This money can't be saved." The emperor said: "The dowry gift of [-] gold is too much, and it is not suitable for the gift, so you can do it according to [-] gold."

Liang Xiao flatly refused. "I don't have that much money."

The emperor glared at Liang Xiao. "Don't cry poorly in front of me. I know you can't afford so much money now, but you have invited so many guests, can you not accept gifts? Although a few thousand gold is not a small number, it will not trouble you."

Liang Xiao stiffened his neck. "But I still have to live. I can't drink porridge every day after marrying Mrs. Weng home."

The emperor waved his hand impatiently. "You go back first and just wait to collect the money." He thought for a while, and then said with contempt on his face: "It's a pity that you said just now that you want to take care of the court's face, but now you forgot. Look at your philistine face , do you want me to give you the money now to rest assured?"

Liang Xiao grinned and cupped his hands again and again, saying that he didn't dare, and left contentedly.This trip was not in vain, this one in front of me is a master who likes to show off, this shot must not be less, and it must have a lot of money.Earn it, earn it.

Seeing Liang Xiao walking briskly out of the hall, Han Yan was dumbfounded, her face turned red and pale.Is there any mistake, this can also take advantage, and the autumn wind hits the emperor?It's a good thing that this guy didn't study, he can talk so much without studying, if he reads a few more sentences, will there be a chance for others to live?

"Wang Sun, you will go to the Shaofu later and give Liang Xiao a daughter."

"Your Majesty, isn't this appropriate?" Han Yan still didn't give up, and struggled: "Could it be that in the future, if the princes get married, your Majesty will reward them?"

The emperor turned his head and looked at Han Yan. "If they can establish themselves with military exploits like Liang Xiao, and they can marry the Lord Weng home, I would rather spend this thousand gold. Wang Sun, are you tempted?"

Han Yan gave a wry smile, didn't dare to say any more, turned around and left.

The emperor thought for a while, then turned and went to Jiaofangdian.

Empress Chen greeted her with a smile.The emperor entered the palace and explained his intention.

Empress Chen raised her eyebrows lightly. "One thousand gold?"

The emperor was a little displeased. "With the strength of the Chen family, this daughter shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Empress Chen blinked, covered her mouth and laughed. "Your Majesty misunderstood. I was thinking, maybe there can be more, and it's not a simple reward, but a more appropriate way can be used to avoid gossip."

The emperor is interested. "What do you think."

"Your Majesty, my two elder brothers have been doing research on iron smelting, but they don't understand it. They may have been deceived. They spent countless money and gained nothing. Last time, Your Majesty reminded Liang Xiao Maybe they know, let them ask for advice. I think, maybe we can spend money to buy it, just like Liu Ling bought his family's double-faced brocade."

Hearing this, the Son of Heaven felt like waking up from a dream. He clapped his hands and shouted, "This is a good solution. It solves his problem and doesn't leave anyone with a reason to talk about it. This is a deal. I wish you what you want. Who can make irresponsible remarks?"

"So, His Majesty also thinks it's feasible?"

"It's doable, it's doable." The Son of Heaven was full of childlike innocence, rubbing his hands together and said, "Liang Xiao wants money, and I can't take advantage of him, I have to ask him to come up with something in exchange. Don't you think so?"

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that he will call you a philistine?"

"He dares?" The emperor stared, and then laughed happily. "It's really embarrassing for us, one monarch and one minister, to plot against each other. However, the prosperity of the world is all for profit. The world is full of hustle and bustle, all for profit. As long as it is beneficial to the world, I am not afraid of people saying it. By the way, your research The art of smelting iron, have you ever thought about what to do in the future?"

"I haven't done it yet, I've thought about it." Empress Chen got up and got behind the emperor, bent down, hugged the emperor, and leaned closer to the emperor and said: "Soldiers, the most important weapon of the country, how can you give it to others lightly? Mother He said that if Tianxing is successfully developed, he is willing to donate it to the imperial court to help His Majesty conquer all directions."

The emperor held Queen Chen's hand, pulled her to him, and held her in his arms. "Auntie, or you?"

"It's what she meant and what I meant, is there a difference?"

"There is a difference." The emperor was in a good mood, and joked: "If my aunt means it, I will naturally thank her. Thanking her is nothing more than food and rewards. If you mean it, I will naturally thank you. Thank you, You have to use another method.”

As he said that, he stretched his hand in from Empress Chen's skirt and stroked it lightly.

Empress Chen's face also turned red, her eyes moistened, and her breathing became short of breath.She pressed the emperor's hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, is this how you thank me? You and I are husband and wife, and this Zhou Gong's gift is a matter of duty. How can we do it as a reward?"

"That's right, since they are husband and wife, there should be no distinction between each other." The emperor laughed, picked up Empress Chen, and walked towards the inner hall.Empress Chen was so shy that she put her arms around the emperor's neck, her sly eyes swept over the faces of a pair of young and beautiful court ladies beside her.The palace lady understood, blushed, and followed in lightly.

The emperor put Empress Chen on the couch, and saw two maids kneeling beside him. After a little thought, he understood Empress Chen's intentions.He squinted at Empress Chen. "A-Jiao, you've invited reinforcements, you've set up your position, and you're just waiting for me?"

Empress Chen was already prepared, she giggled and said: "Your Majesty is mighty, I was afraid that I would not be able to resist, so I asked them to help me. Your Majesty, they are my distant cousins. Although they are twin sisters, they have very different temperaments. Your Majesty, don't admit your mistake."

"Twin sisters?" The emperor was a little upset at first, but when he heard that they were twin sisters, he immediately became angry.He bent down, raised his sister Hua's chin, looked carefully for a moment, and praised: "Sure enough, they are evenly matched. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that there are such similar people in the world."

"Your Majesty, they are still virgins. They have not been exposed to rain and dew. Please take pity on them." Empress Chen said to her sister Hua again: "What are you doing kneeling stupidly and not serving Your Majesty? Be at ease and serve carefully."

"Here." The sister Hua responded, got up and walked to the emperor's side, and said crisply: "Please take off your clothes, Your Majesty."

The emperor looked left and right, and couldn't help laughing out loud. "Interesting, interesting, Gillian, you have bothered."

"As long as His Majesty is satisfied, no matter how much I have spent, it will be worth it." Empress Chen dragged the emperor to the couch, leaned on him, and said with a charming smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to give a double thank you today?" present?"

The emperor hugged Empress Chen, turned over and pressed her on the couch, and laughed loudly: "Two copies are not enough, three are enough."
