Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 477 Destiny
Just as Liang Xiao stepped on the stairs, the voice of the Son of Heaven came from above his head.

"Why did you come?"

Liang Xiao raised his head and saw the emperor's frown and gloomy eyes. He hastily cupped his hands and said, "I left the house a long time ago. I met a scholar who came to recommend me, so I was delayed for a while."

"Because of a scholar?" Han Yan laughed. "Liang Junhou, what scholar is more important than His Majesty?"

Liang Xiao glanced at Han Yan and smiled on the surface. "Scholars are of course not as important as His Majesty, but I am afraid that this will damage His Majesty's reputation. Your Majesty is thirsty for talents. As His Majesty's close minister, how can I neglect them? Although I can't do it like Duke Zhou, at least I must maintain superficial etiquette. "

Han Yan was speechless.The emperor glanced at him and smiled. "I told you not to quarrel with him, you just don't believe it, how about it?" He turned around and said to Liang Xiao, "Don't be so talkative, hurry up, and when you have time, tell me about the wise men you have recruited."

"I didn't keep him, but gave him ten gold and let him go."

"Didn't stay?" The Son of Heaven frowned, said nothing more, walked up to Taishi Ling Sima Tan, and beckoned. "Come here and have a look."

Liang Xiao went upstairs and looked around, only to find that Dou Ying was there, and little Sima Qian was standing in the corner, his eyes sparkling with excitement.Sima Tan's face was flushed, as if he was drunk.After being driven away by the emperor, he went around to the other side.Looking at it like that, I can't wait to drive the emperor away.

In the middle of the room, there is a giant clairvoyance that is six feet long and more than one foot in diameter.

Seeing this clairvoyance, Liang Xiao was a little excited. He was happier than he himself was named a Marquis and earned ten thousand gold.Clairvoyance and microscope are two powerful tools to open up human horizons. Modern science originated from the telescope in the hands of Galileo and the microscope in the hands of Hooke.

However, the telescope in Galileo's hand is nothing compared to the clairvoyance in front of him.

Liang Xiao suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked to the front of the case.

There are two star maps on the case.Even if Liang Xiao knew a little about astronomy, he could tell that there were many more stars marked on one of the star maps.

Liang Xiao looked at it for a long time, with a dazed expression on his face. "Look at what?"

"I..." Sima Tan said impatiently. As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that he had been rude, and quickly glanced at the emperor.The Son of Heaven nodded.Sima Tan then continued: "I have observed many stars with clairvoyance, many stars that I have never seen before. These, these, all of them."

Sima Tan pointed at the star map, spitting flying all over the place, some splashed on the star map, he hastily wiped it with his ink-stained sleeve.

"So what?" Liang Xiao was ecstatic in his heart, but his face was even more confused. "The stars are all in the sky, what difference does it make if you can't see them?"

"Of course there is a difference!" Sima Tan seemed to have been greatly insulted, his eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: "This shows that all astronomical records are incomplete, and we are all the frogs at the bottom of the well. "

"What happened to the frog at the bottom of the well?" Liang Xiao couldn't help but laugh. "Who is omniscient and omnipotent from birth? Does a person's vision always expand step by step. Before I went to the Western Regions, who knew what the Western Regions looked like?"

Everyone looked at each other, speechless for a while.Before Liang Xiao came, they had discussed this for a long time. Although no one dared to break the paper, they all knew that once these newly discovered stars were announced, the entire astrology theory would be affected, and those who rely on astrology to push The theory of Yan Tianming will also collapse.

Finally, this will involve the issue of whether the Mandate of Heaven is established or not.

You know, this is the most troublesome thing for the emperor right now.

No one expected that Liang Xiao looked indifferent.I don't know if he has little knowledge, didn't realize the seriousness of this problem at all, or really didn't take it seriously.

However, the example Liang Xiao gave dissipated a lot of their uneasiness.

Before Liang Xiao went to the Western Regions, the Han people—at least the imperial court—had very limited understanding of the Western Regions.Now that they know about the Western Regions, they realize that the size of the world is far beyond their imagination, and it is at least twice as big as they originally thought.But so what?Chang'an had a lot of precious jade and fine wine from the Western Regions, but it didn't have any adverse effects on the big man.

So what if more stars are discovered, these stars did not just appear today, they have always been in the sky, but we have not seen it.

"But..." Sima Tan became a little anxious.For him, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Some people have watched the stars for a lifetime, but they can't find a few new stars. In the past few months, he has almost doubled the number of stars, and he can definitely be remembered in history.

"I know, Tai Shiling is going to become famous." Liang Xiao smiled and said, "However, this is the first step. There is still a big difference between seeing that star and really understanding that star. Just as seeing Mount Hua and climbing Mount Hua are two different things, Tai Shiling still has a long way to go."

Sima Tan was stunned for a moment, but agreed with Liang Xiao's opinion and nodded.

The emperor calmed down and walked to the window.Dou Ying smiled secretly, signaling Liang Xiao to follow quickly.

Liang Xiao walked to the side of the emperor and stood quietly.

The emperor tilted his head slightly. "Bo Ming, do you really think it doesn't matter?"

Liang Xiao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have never believed in the theory of the induction between heaven and man."

"But... the subjects of the world believe a lot."

"Three people make a tiger, and more people believe it does not mean it is correct."

The emperor hesitated to speak, his expression tangled.Liang Xiao knew what he was worried about.The so-called concern leads to chaos. In terms of the legitimacy of the regime, the emperors of the Han Dynasty were not confident enough.Fooling the people, fooling the people, and even being fooled in the end, are all troubles caused by the legitimacy of this regime.

"Your Majesty, is it the sky or the earth?"

The emperor was stunned, and looked at Liang Xiao sullenly.Liang Xiao was very calm.The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and he said slowly: "Naturally, the sky is big."

Liang Xiao laughed softly: "Since the sky is bigger than the earth, and the earth is still unknown, why is it surprising that the sky is unknown?"

The emperor was silent for a moment, then laughed silently. "I don't think the sky is big or the earth is big, but you have a big heart. No matter what happens, it seems to be nothing in front of you."

"That's because the sky is falling, and His Majesty is supporting it." Liang Xiao said with a smile, "You can enjoy the shade by leaning against a big tree. With Your Majesty, this big tree is here, so why should I be afraid?"

The emperor glared at Liang Xiao, and was about to reprimand him, but he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing Dou Ying and the others, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and laughed cooperatively.

The emperor laughed for a while, and then said: "In your opinion, don't you have to write out the formula so that you can really understand it?"

Liang Xiao nodded without thinking. "I feel that if Tai Shiling can really use formulas to determine the law of the appearance and disappearance of these stars, it will be much more than an empty talk about the induction between heaven and man."

"I knew you would say that." The emperor laughed loudly: "Master Dong is really unlucky, and somehow provoked you." He walked up to Sima Tan. "You heard it too. Liang Xiao said that you have to write down the formula before you can truly discover something. Before that, don't say it easily."

Sima Tan's expression changed slightly, he gritted his teeth, with a look of determination. "Wei! I would like to obey the holy orders."

"Hmph, even so, you still have merit." The emperor thought for a while, then turned around and said, "From now on, increase your rank by a thousand stones, and raise a son to be a man."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sima Tan was overjoyed, saluted deeply, then quickly pulled Sima Qian to him, and reprimanded him, "Zhuzi, don't thank you yet."

Only then did Sima Qian come to his senses, and quickly saluted.From now on, he is the official Lang Guan in the palace.

Liang Xiao watched from the side, feeling awe-inspiring.The emperor's method was really clever, he used both kindness and power, and he settled Sima Tan without making a fuss.Sima Tan couldn't announce this discovery without writing out the formula, so the court would have plenty of time to consider it.

However, with my BUG, ​​if you want to keep concealing it, it may not be so easy.

After leaving Tianlu Pavilion, Liang Xiao and others followed the emperor to Chengming Hall.Liang Xiao came here on horseback, he was not used to riding in a carriage.Dou Ying greeted him and got into his car.Although Liang Xiao was reluctant, he couldn't save Dou Ying's face, so he had to sit on it.

Dou Ying said: "Bo Ming, you are still able to speak well, a few words will solve your Majesty's knot."

Liang Xiao shook his head. "Wei Qihou has been praised. I don't know much about astronomy and astrology, and I don't believe it very much, so I dare to speak out. The emperor makes his own decision, so I can't speak for it. If there is any difference between you and me, probably It’s just that I’m a relatively simple person, and I don’t have any scheming.”

Dou Ying tilted her head, glanced at Liang Xiao, smiled without saying a word, apparently disagreeing with Liang Xiao's self-evaluation.

"By the way, why did the emperor call us into the palace? Isn't it just for this trivial matter?"

"Small matter? Your heart is really big, is this considered a small matter?" Dou Ying shook her head. "Perhaps, to you, this may be a small matter. Besides this small matter, there is another big matter. Nanyue is not safe. His Majesty intends to use troops against Nanyue. He summoned me to wait for a plan. It's a big deal."

Liang Xiao smiled.The plan of the Southern Expedition was initiated by Dou Ying, and the emperor called him into the palace to plan this matter. Even if he was not given the opportunity to go to the battlefield in person, he is still a meritorious minister.In his old age, the martyrs are full of ambition.Dou Ying, a martyr, has been idle for too long, and can't wait to show off her abilities.

"Wei Qihou, the Southern Expedition is not a trivial matter. It can only be successful, but not defeated. If there is a mistake, you and I will be condemned by thousands of people."

Dou Ying was somewhat disapproving. "If you want to make extraordinary achievements, you must treat extraordinary people. Why, are you afraid?"

Liang Xiao blinked and talked about him from left to right. "Wei Qihou, how many years have you not participated in this kind of temple?"

Dou Ying narrowed her eyes. "Why, do you think I'm old and not what I used to be?"

Liang Xiao grinned and showed a few smirks. He didn't answer Dou Ying's question, but just patted Che Shi. "Wei Qihou, if you offend me later, you can't rely on your seniority to oppress me with your seniority."

Dou Ying laughed. "Little Zhuzi, it seems that you don't see me, Dou Ying, at all. I need to use my seniority to suppress you? It's reasonable to say that I don't care about people when discussing things. I still have this kind of tolerance."

"Of course that would be great." Liang Xiao smiled even wider and rubbed his hands pretending to be excited. "The last time I had a discussion with Dong Gong, it wasn't fun. This time, I was a little excited to fight against a senior like Wei Qihou."
