Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 551
Liang Xiao didn't hold Chen Ping in the highest esteem, but he didn't think that Chen Ping's extinction was due to Taoism's advocacy of conspiracy.In fact, this is just a very deceptive statement. The real reason is that the increasingly centralized imperial power cannot tolerate the existence of military power groups.

Of course, Confucian scholars who have mastered the right to write history but have to hide it for their venerables can only say so.

Chen Zhang is nearly forty years old, and his boyhood is the process of the military group from its peak to its decline.On the one hand, he will be nostalgic for the power he once had, and on the other hand, he will also have a sadness of being unable to return to heaven.If not, he would not have had an affair with a maid in the Marquis of Pingyang and married her as his wife.

Chen Zhang's mood is the portrayal of the children of countless military meritorious groups.There seems to be only the last path before them, which is the path of the Chen family: marry into the royal family, become a foreign relative, and use the imperial power to maintain their own interests.In effect, this is tantamount to throwing up your hands in surrender.

The core of Huang-Lao's way is to rule by doing nothing. One of the purposes of promoting Huang-Lao's way in the early Han Dynasty was to ensure that the imperial power and military groups lived in peace, and that the well water would not violate the river water.Now the emperor does not want to do nothing, but to do a lot, and the military group will be a tragedy.The founding heroes of the older generation have passed away one after another, and the remaining young people can only do nothing.

However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although these down-and-out nobles are in decline, their overall strength should not be underestimated.Right now, the emperor can only suppress them, and does not give them the opportunity to be promoted to rank, but he cannot forcibly deprive them of it.Wait another 20 years, the emperor's imperial power will be stable, and they will not be so comfortable.The most famous one was that more than 100 people were deprived of their titles in one go on the grounds that the content of sour gold was insufficient.

Chen Zhang does not have a title, but his feelings should not be much different.Historically, he has been seeking to restore the country, but has never been successful, even when the Wei family was in full swing.

Liang Xiao looked at Chen Zhang, thinking about those records in history, and suddenly felt an indescribable strange feeling.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Chen Zhang asked fearfully after being watched by Liang Xiao.He felt that there was something wrong with Liang Xiao's eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person.He asked himself that he had already given Liang Xiao enough face, which should be enough to redeem the mistakes of the slaves, why did Liang Xiao still look at him like this?

"Oh, it's nothing." Liang Xiao withdrew his mind, raised his cup, and stood in front of him to cover up his gaffe.After the two drank a glass of wine, Liang Xiao asked again: "Chen Jun is also a celebrity in Chang'an, hasn't he been to Changmen Garden?"

Chen Zhang smiled wryly and shook his head. "What kind of a famous person am I? I can't do it, I can't do it. I'm not confused. I'm still a small official with a thousand stones. I don't know when I will be able to make it. How can I be qualified to go to the rally in Nagato Garden. Even Master Dong voted I recommended myself, and went to Wei Qihou's residence to give lectures a few times, and only then did I receive the invitation."

Liang Xiao's heart skipped a beat.He talked a lot with Liu Ling yesterday, but most of them were about water control, but he didn't bother to ask Dou Ying.

"Wei Qihou's door is also difficult to enter?"

"Comparatively speaking, it's better." Chen Zhang tilted his mouth. "Although Wei Qihou is beautiful, he is old after all. If the door is difficult to enter, no one will be willing to go."

Liang Xiao smiled.It turned out that Dou Ying was so miserable that even Chen Zhang didn't take him seriously.

The two talked for a while, Wei Shaoer prepared a banquet, Liang Xiao and Chen Zhang chattered, and finally, in front of Chen Zhang and his wife, confirmed the news of accepting apprentices on behalf of the teacher, and then left the Chen residence .

Wei Shao'er was so grateful that he sent him out in person, and told Huo Qubing to stay by Liang Xiao's side for more time, so he reluctantly bid farewell.Back home, Chen Zhang looked at the broken gate and let out a long sigh.Wei Shao'er felt uneasy, and quickly said: "I have invited someone to repair it, and it will be repaired soon."

Chen Zhang waved his hand. "Forget it, those dogs who don't have eyes actually offended this upstart. Fortunately, Qu Bing is his junior brother, and no one was killed. He was killed from the mountain of corpses and blood. If he tried to kill, there was no one." A few lives are unstoppable. Boy, I see that he likes Qu Bing very much, you can tell Qu Bing to be smart and don't let this opportunity go."

Seeing that Chen Zhang's tone was gentle and not as vicious as usual, Wei Shao'er felt relieved and agreed repeatedly.

Chen Zhang thought for a while, then said: "How about this, you pack some luggage for Qu Bing and let him live in Liang Mansion."

"Why?" Wei Shao'er was puzzled.After she got married with Chen Zhang, she had never had a child, only Huo Qubing had a child.She was reluctant to let him leave her and live in Liang's house.

"To learn archery in Qubing, of course it's best to follow Liang Xiao. Besides, he lives in Liang's house, and you and I have reasons to visit Liang's house often. After we get to know each other well, Liang Xiao will tell His Majesty in the future, Maybe I can still be an official, and the conditions of my family will be better. Don’t you think so?”

After hearing this, Wei Shaoer felt that it made sense, and nodded repeatedly.She called Huo Qubing, told Chen Zhang's suggestion, Huo Qubing did not doubt that he was there, and she couldn't ask for more.Wei Shao'er immediately packed some luggage for him, and he and Chen Zhang personally sent him to Liang's house.

-

Liang Xiao didn't go home directly, he went to Wei Qihou's mansion.

Dou Ying was studying at home and was very surprised to see Liang Xiao visit. "Why didn't you return to Oasis Palace?"

"Your Majesty has ordered me to rest at home for two days." Liang Xiao squeezed his eyes and patted his knee again. "It just so happened that my legs were ill again and I couldn't walk. I was happy to live in Chang'an for two days."

Dou Ying glanced at Liang Xiao and couldn't help laughing.He welcomed Liang Xiao to the hall, and said earnestly: "Bo Ming, it's okay to have a temper, but it should be done in moderation. It's not a good thing if we leave for too long."

Liang Xiao half-jokingly said: "Is this Wei Qihou's reading experience?"

Dou Ying laughed, and pushed the brochure on the case aside. "There is no such thing in the book, this is my experience. Back then, I lived in seclusion in Lantian and studied..." He sighed and did not continue.

Liang Xiao knew it well, so he didn't mention it again. "I heard that Mrs. Dong has come to your place more frequently recently?"

"Well, Your Majesty has gone to Ganquan Palace. There are few errands in the palace. He often comes to visit me. He reads a lot, and I still need to ask him for some intellectual matters."

"When a big river bursts, it should be dredged rather than blocked. Is it his suggestion?"

Dou Ying raised her head and looked at Liang Xiao in surprise. "What's the matter with you? Your leg disease relapsed. Instead of recuperating at home, you came to trouble Mrs. Dong."

Liang Xiao frowned and changed the topic. "Wei Qihou, when you discuss learning with Master Dong, have you ever wondered why the emperor, while admiring the relationship between heaven and man, built a large-scale construction project in Ganquan Palace, and at the same time abandoned Master Dong in Chang'an?"

Dou Ying was silent.From the moment he saw Liang Xiao, he guessed Liang Xiao's intention.Why didn't the Son of Heaven let Liang Xiao go to Ganquan Palace immediately to return to his life, probably because he didn't want him to talk.Liang Xiao's coming to him also showed that it was impossible for him to just shut up.

"What are you going to do?"

"I hope Master Dong will visit the garden for another three years and find a way to break the connection between heaven and man. Otherwise, I will never end with him."

Dou Ying cocked her mouth slightly jokingly. "Why didn't you finish with him?"

Liang Xiao squinted his eyes, a little unscrupulous, and a little murderous, which made Dou Ying's heart tighten, and he felt a little uneasy for no reason. "Doesn't he like to talk about disasters and surprises, and like to ask for rain? I said that the flood that caused the river to burst was the result of his begging for rain."

Dou Ying turned pale with shock. "You are fooling around, who will believe you?"

"I'm fooling around. However, the flood in Shandong will not calm down for a long time. Once there is a civil uprising, the imperial court will need a scapegoat."

Dou Ying gasped, stared at Liang Xiao, and did not speak for a long time.He could say that Liang Xiao was joking, but if Liang Xiao wasn't joking, then Dong Zhongshu would be in big trouble.In an instant, he thought of a word: blame yourself.

"Bo Ming, you can't do this." Dou Ying came back to his senses and said repeatedly: "Although Dong Zhongshu is a little pedantic, he is a seed for reading, and his disciples are all over the world. If you falsely accuse him, you will provoke public outrage."

"His bullshit theory of what should be avoided and not blocked has already angered the public." Liang Xiao snorted: "Wei Qihou has lived in Chang'an for a long time, and he can't hear the wailing of the people in Shandong. I came back from the south of the Yangtze River, but I saw their miserable situation Dr. Han and Cao Junhou are also vividly remembered, and will report to the emperor soon. I remind him now to give him a chance to correct. He should thank me."

Dou Ying frowned upon hearing this.He stood up, turned around twice, and stood still in front of Liang Xiao. "I'm going to tell Dong Zhongshu about this matter, don't be impulsive. He has worked hard for decades before he has developed such a knowledge of the relationship between heaven and man. It is really not easy to slap himself in the face in a short time. You Give him time."

"I can give him time, but I'm afraid others won't give him time." Liang Xiao chuckled. "Since Wei Qihou is interceding, I will let him go for a few days. However, just because I don't make trouble for him doesn't mean others won't make trouble for him. Let him take care of himself."

"I know I know."

-

Liang Xiao had a long chat with Dou Ying, and had dinner at Dou's house before returning home.

As soon as he entered the door, Huo Qubing greeted him, and said affectionately: "Senior brother, you are back."

Liang Xiao was very surprised. "Why are you here? What's the matter?"

Huo Qubing scratched his head in embarrassment, and was about to answer when Liu Ling came out from the inner courtyard. "Your time at home is limited. In order to let him practice archery as soon as possible, he will live at home from today on."

Although Liang Xiao was puzzled, he didn't ask again.He came to Huo Qubing's room, looked around, and saw that Liu Ling had arranged it properly. Not only was the room clean and all the utensils were new, but he also arranged for a ten-year-old boy to accompany Huo Qubing, so he let him go. heart.

Liang Xiao sat down beside the bed and called Huo Qubing to him. "Tell me, whose idea is this?"

Huo Qubing blinked his eyes. "It's probably not my mother. However, I also hope to get closer to my brother."

"Qubing, once you're here, you'll be at ease. When you come here, you have to learn not only archery, but also other things. You are very talented, even if you don't learn, you are better than ordinary people. However, if you want to become a real I still have to learn a little more. Once I have a solid foundation, I can fly higher and go farther in the future. Do you understand?"

Huo Qubing seemed to understand but didn't understand, he didn't quite understand Liang Xiao's words.

"Okay, you can rest first, you can practice by yourself at night, don't be too late. I will call you tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, brother." Huo Qubing bowed and sent Liang Xiao out.It wasn't until Liang Xiao entered the inner court that he looked away, closed the door, looked at the various utensils in the room, and exhaled lightly.He took out the bamboo bow Liang Xiao used, and practiced the bow-opening pose in the room.

Liang Xiao went back to the backyard, sat in his old lady's room for a while, chatted for a while, and then returned to his own room.Liu Ling had already finished washing and was coaxing the child, while Liang Yu was also sitting aside talking, seeing Liang Xiao come in, Liang Yu stood up.

"Brother."

"Sit for a while." Liang Xiao waved his hand, signaling Liang Yu not to leave in a hurry.Liang Yu glanced at Liu Ling with some embarrassment.Liu Ling said with a smile: "If I tell you to sit, you can sit and watch what I do. It's as if I want to drive you away."

Liang Yu also laughed. "Brother just came back, I don't want to disturb you."

"Look at what you said, am I that anxious?" Liu Ling blushed, stretched out his hand to gently pinch Liang Yu's cheek.Liang Yu lowered his head in embarrassment, covered his mouth and smiled twice.Liang Xiao was a little speechless, so he changed the subject and said, "Wen Ji, I wanted to find you tomorrow, but since you're here, let me tell you by the way."

"what's up?"

"Meigao was sent as an envoy to Xiqiang and brought back a lot of books. I told him and asked him to lend me a copy. In addition, Yan An also collected a lot of materials in South Vietnam, and I also want to copy a copy. This is a After much deliberation, I am afraid that only you can do the big task. You may have to work hard during this time."

Liang Yu's eyes brightened, and he said with a smile: "There is such a good thing, even if my elder brother doesn't let me do it, I also ask to do it. I can know the world's affairs without leaving home. What a wonderful thing it is!" .”

"One more thing." Liang Xiao sat down, remained silent for a while, then turned to Liu Ling and said, "I want Wenji to teach Huo Qubing how to read, what do you think?"

Liu Ling had expected it a long time ago and was not surprised at all. "With Wen Ji's knowledge, teaching him to read and write is definitely enough. I'm afraid Huo Qubing is too noisy and will disturb Wen Ji's tranquility."

Liang Yu said: "No, I really like Huo Qubing. Seeing him reminds me of my childhood."

"Why don't we let them go to Maoling and bring Ping'an there too. She and Xiao Fugui from the Tu family are already six years old, so it's time for them to be enlightened. Let Wen Ji be the teacher, first teach them how to read, and wait Find the right gentleman, and it will be easier to get started if you have the foundation.”

Liang Xiao frowned. "Is it too early?"

"It's not too early." Liu Ling said: "I started to read when I was three years old. Ping'an is a bit like me when I was young, very clever, but my temper is wild, and I have been taken by my mother all the time. I am a little spoiled. If I don't After adjusting, no one will be able to restrain her in the future."

"My daughter is wild?" Liang Xiao was confused.In his impression, Xiao Ping'an has always been an obedient and lovable girl, can Kazuno get along with her? "I didn't see it."

"This is where she is most brilliant." Liu Ling suppressed a smile. "Don't you think she's a little too well-behaved in front of you? With a father like you and a mother like the moon, shouldn't she be such a well-behaved child? If you don't believe me, you might as well ask Wen Ji and see what kind of girl you are. What did the girls do?"
