Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 584 Sharp Weapon
Li Guangda was victorious, the last stone in the emperor's heart fell to the ground.The strategic arrangement is correct, and the battle is progressing smoothly. The rest depends on the luck of the soldiers on the front line. It cannot be controlled by manpower. He can only wait patiently.

The emperor finally had the mood to pay attention to the challenge of King Huainan. He not only paid attention to the public opinion on the street every day, but also studied the formula with the people around him.It has to be said that this is a very smart person. He understood the laws of the movement of celestial bodies after a little effort, and he can skillfully perform calculations and deduction. He is no worse than those Confucian scholars who have assisted Sima Tan for a long time. Xiao felt ashamed.

The only one who can compete with the emperor in computing power is Sang Hongyang.

The emperor was quite proud of this, but Liang Xiao was the happiest.The Son of Heaven was willing to go further and further down the pragmatic road. When the clan and nobles also got into the trap, it would not be so easy for them to turn back.

In order to make the emperor happier for a while, he is willing to suffer a little bit.At the same time, he traveled between the Huainan Palace and the palace, fanning the wind and igniting the fire, warming up the debate.Knowing that the emperor not only did not object, but would come to the scene in person, Huainan King Liu An was also very excited, his fighting spirit was high, and he was no weaker than the soldiers of the Western Expedition.

Liang Xiao had seen this situation in Dou Ying before, and now he saw it in Liu An again, so he was very pleased.

One is the leader of the heroes, and the other is the leader of the clan. The influence of these two people is not trivial.When the two join forces, even the emperor has to be afraid of three points.If you count the Mesozoic like Cao Shi, who was in his prime, the troika should be able to form a check and balance on the emperor, so that he wouldn't be like a wild horse who can do whatever he wants and kill whoever he wants.

It's a pity that Cao Shi's life was short in history, and Wei Qing, who replaced him as Princess Yang Xinchang's bed warmer, was too honest to shoulder this heavy responsibility.Liang Xiao had to find someone else.Fortunately, now that Wei Zifu had given birth to two daughters in a row, he has fallen out of favor, and the possibility of Wei Qing becoming a foreign relative is not very high. It doesn't matter whether he is honest or not.

Liang Xiao was rarely quiet, sitting in the gazebo in the backyard, analyzing the next situation.

The emperor was right, he was playing a big game of chess.But it is impossible for the emperor to know how big the chess he is playing is.Limited by vision, the Son of Heaven is most concerned about whether his own throne can be secured, and whether he can make contributions while securing the throne.In this regard, Liang Xiao did not conflict with the emperor, he just made the best use of the situation and led the emperor to the direction he wanted.

Generally speaking, even without Liang Xiao, even if the river is plagued by troubles, the big man is still on his way to the top, but he can't go too far.After exhausting its vitality prematurely, it fell into an endless loop of repetition.Liang Xiao's current efforts are to guide history on the right track before entering the turning point, so that the tragedy will not repeat itself.

Once the internal relationship is straightened out and a healthy and benign power structure is formed, the big man can go further.

So far, things are going pretty well.Liang Xiao reckoned that in a few years, he would be able to go out again and lead the big men to expand the territory and conquer the Quartet.Perhaps, in this life, he even has the opportunity to go to the other side of the world and weigh the strength of the Roman Empire.

To fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside. This sentence has been misunderstood by future generations for too long, but it proves itself correct time and time again.

"Bo Ming, what are you thinking again?" Dou Ying walked in with big strides, her steps were steady and her voice was loud.

Liang Xiao hurriedly got up to greet him. "Mr. Dou, why are you willing to come back from Lantian?"

"I heard that the King of Huainan is going to attack the Taishi Ling, why don't I come back and have a look?" Dou Ying said with a smile, "I heard that the Son of Heaven will come to listen to the sermon in person, why are you sitting here? Could it be that the King of Huainan didn't send you an invitation? "

"I'm going to the Huainan Prince's Mansion. What invitation do I need? I don't want to go. There are many people with mixed opinions, and most of them have evil intentions. They don't care about academics. It doesn't make much sense to hear it."

"You can't blame others." Dou Ying sat down opposite Liang Xiao, waved her hand, and signaled her followers to back down. "It was Emperor Xiaojing who broke the rules first, so that others would think they could take advantage of it."

"You mean about the enthronement of the Son of Heaven?"

Dou Ying nodded.There are no outsiders here, and he doesn't go around in circles with Liang Xiao. "Establishing a lineage is based on elders but not virtue. If Prince Li hadn't been abolished at the beginning, how could so many troubles have happened later, and Zhou Yafu even died because of it. The separation of morality from the military class began at that time."

Liang Xiao looked at Dou Ying in surprise.He and Dou Ying are very familiar, but not to the point where they have nothing to hide. Dou Ying came today, and said such a big thing when they met, and bluntly accused Emperor Jing. Is it because he is too courageous, or is he carried away?
"Mr. Dou, what you said today may be a bit taboo."

"What's wrong with the taboo?" Dou Ying didn't think so. "I'm originally a native. If I dare not even say a word of justice, what face do I have to tell myself? Don't forget, I was also Prince Li's young assistant."

Liang Xiao was helpless. "Okay, Mr. Dou is so proud, I'm not polite, what is the purpose of you coming to see me today?"

"I want to renew the contract."

"Contract?"

"That's right, the White Horse Treaty made by Emperor Gao has been completely destroyed. Now that today's people are going all over the world and advocating military merit, it is conceivable that there will be another group of military meritorious princes in a short time. Scholars discuss politics, just talking about it. If these warriors If we are separated from the imperial court, it is possible to cause major incidents. At the least, we will lose the general, and at the worst, there will be a rebellion. At that time, the conqueror will become a rebellious minister, how far can we go?"

Liang Xiao was stunned.What Dou Ying thought was exactly what he wanted to do, but before he said anything, Dou Ying took the initiative to bring it up.Is it because her intentions are too obvious, or is Dou Ying too radical?
"What contract do you want to make with His Majesty, to bring up the white horse contract again?"

"I'm afraid this is unlikely." Dou Ying shook her head. "Although I have some ideas, I couldn't find a suitable charter for a while, so I came to you to discuss."

Liang Xiao twisted his fingers and thought for a long time.Knowing that Dou Ying has this idea, he is of course happy, and finally has like-minded people.But he knew better, although Dou Ying is not young, but he is a real Han Chinese, he still has a chivalrous spirit, and sometimes he is unavoidably impulsive.In this kind of thing, at this time, it seems that it is better to be cautious.

"Since you haven't thought about it yet, why not wait until you think about it?"

Dou Ying was a little disappointed and didn't say anything more.He invited Liang Xiao to attend a lecture at the Huainan Palace again, but Liang Xiao refused to go, so Dou Ying did not refuse and left.Looking at Dou Ying's hurried back, Liang Xiao smiled and shook his head.

This lovely old man.Even when he was old, he was still so busy, and he didn't mean to enjoy his old age at all.

When Dou Ying arrived at the Huainan Palace, the Huainan Palace was crowded with people and there were no empty seats.

The VIP seats on the second floor are almost all from the clan.When the kings came to court, many people held their breath and waited for someone to take the lead to challenge the court. King Huainan, as an uncle with a history of participating in the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, was the first to stand up to challenge Sima Tan's theory of the way of heaven. It is undoubtedly a move that is easy to make people associate with.

Some people came to see the jokes, and some came to learn from the scriptures.

After Sima Tan's Theory of Heaven was promulgated, there were many people who wanted to refute him, but unfortunately, many capable and wise people were found, and after careful study of Sima Tan's articles, there was no flaw at all.In the end, they attributed it to clairvoyance. Without clairvoyance, they would not be able to see the stars that Sima talked about, and they had no way of verifying them.

Who can guarantee that Sima Tan didn't fabricate such a thing according to the emperor's instructions?There are not only such things, but many.They are too familiar with this set of methods from the clan.

In their view, Liu An should be the most dissatisfied person - if he didn't feel the fear of the emperor, he would take the initiative to ask for the relocation?At the same time, he is the one who is most qualified to initiate a challenge. He also has the clairvoyance that Sima Tan uses.As long as he took out the star map and exposed Sima Tan's lies, the emperor's intentions would be self-defeating.

The kings sat in their compartments, quietly waiting for the lecture to begin.

The lecture hall was empty, and King Huainan hadn't come out yet.He is Uncle Wang, so he is naturally qualified to put on airs before these clans.Considering that he wants to stand up for everyone today, he doesn't care about it.

Just as everyone was expecting, there was a sound of Qingdao shouting outside the door, and the emperor came.

The kings got up quickly and lined up to meet him.With a smile on his face, the Son of Heaven walked quickly towards the chief in the middle, and stopped in front of Hejian King Liu De. "Brother Wang, I heard that you have been ill recently, are you feeling better?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. This is an old ailment, and it's not a problem." Liu De replied respectfully with a smile.

"Come, let's sit together." The emperor held Liu De's hand, showing affection. "I'm very happy to hear that Brother Wang compiled books in Hejian. Among the clan, if anyone's knowledge can rival Uncle Wang in Huainan, it must be Brother Wang."

The emperor took Liu De to the seat together.Liu De didn't dare to refuse, so he took his seat.When the kings saw each other, they looked at each other with disdain.Liu De is the second son of Emperor Xiaojing, born to the same mother as Prince Li Liu Rong.Concubine Li gave birth to three sons. The eldest son Liu Rong was established as the crown prince, but was later abolished and died in prison. The youngest son Liu Yan died three years after he became king. Germany.

Liu De was ranked second among the brothers. Logically speaking, after Liu Rong was abolished, he was the most qualified to inherit the throne.Liu De knew that he had a special status. He had been putting his tail between his tails all these years, devoted himself to compiling books, and didn't express any opinions, for fear of getting into trouble.The kings didn't respect him very much. As for the Son of Heaven, he probably feared him more than respected him. Now he was just showing off to others.

Downstairs, Dou Ying looked at the emperor and Liu De chatting and laughing happily, suddenly her heart moved, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

There was a crisp sound on the lecture hall, Liu An lifted the curtain and appeared in front of everyone.He first bowed in the direction of the emperor, and was a little surprised to see Liu De sitting side by side with the emperor.But then he coughed and began to preach.

"Everyone, the imperial court recently issued a star chart written by Sima Tan, Taishi Ling, with a set formula, and it was a good talk for a while. It is said that because of this manuscript, which is less than a thousand words, Tai Shiling has not left the cabinet for two years. I can't help but think of Master Dong."

Everyone laughed knowingly, and turned their eyes to Dong Zhongshu in the crowd.Dong Zhongshu rolled his eyes and cursed twice with a bitter smile.

"Tai Shiling devotes himself to learning, and An admires it very much. However, learning is learning, and there is no room for sloppy, especially university questions involving the way of heaven." Liu An put away his smile, showing a bit of murderousness. "Tai Shiling's argument is based on the celestial phenomena observed by clairvoyance. People without clairvoyance cannot see those celestial bodies and stars. Even if they want to refute it, I'm afraid it's impossible to say it. It's not fair to say so."

There was laughter from the crowd.

Taishi Ling Sima Tan stood behind the emperor with a sullen face, without saying a word.The emperor was calm and composed, without changing his face.He knew the purpose of King Huainan, so naturally he didn't have to worry.He has only one thing to care about now, to see who has the best dance.

"Fortunately, although clairvoyance is precious, it is not unique to the palace. I also have one in Huainan." Liu An smiled complacently: "Not only can Tai Shiling not be unique in its beauty, but I am afraid that he can't even occupy the top spot. To put it bluntly, the clairvoyance I newly built in Huainan is clearer than Tai Shiling's, and I can see more stars. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the star phenomenon I observed recently."

Liu An waved his hand, and two young servants came forward carrying a wooden case.There was a stack of printed astrology charts on the wooden case, and the servants picked up the astrology charts and distributed them to everyone one by one.Everyone was curious, took it one after another, and watched it carefully.Although many people couldn't understand which stars those black dots were, it was always a joy to get a gift as soon as the lecture started.

Touching the new paper, smelling the fragrance of ink, looking at the star map, everyone whispered to each other.

The emperor and kings upstairs also got a star map, which is even more exquisite than the ordinary audience below.The Son of Heaven handed the star map to Tai Shiling and said in a low voice, "How?"

Sima Tan leaned over and took a closer look. "It seems to be slightly different from what I saw, with a few more stars."

"So, the clairvoyance of the Huainan Palace is better than the one in the palace?"

Sima Tan nodded repeatedly. "Your Majesty, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. If you want to maintain an advantage, the development of clairvoyance is very important."

The emperor grinned, a little embarrassed.The clairvoyance for observing celestial phenomena is nothing more than a clairvoyance, and generals in the army have a greater demand for clairvoyance.Although the examination room and Shangfang have been developing it, so far, they haven't come up with a real qualified product.As the scale of the conquest became larger and larger, the clairvoyance that King Huainan had offered before was no longer enough.Next, I am afraid I will have to spend money to buy it from Huainan.

It's all money.

At this time, Liu An said loudly: "Science is a public tool in the world, and it cannot be monopolized by one person. An dare not hide it, but dare to share it with people who are interested in learning, learn from each other, and ponder each other. This is a sample. If you are interested, you may wish Try it first. Tai Shiling, are you interested in coming first?"

As he said that, Liu An waved his hand, and someone lifted up a huge wooden frame, lifted the brocade covering it, and revealed a clairvoyance inlaid with gold and jade.Sima Tan was stunned when he saw it, his heart was beating like a drum, and his eyes were shining.He deals with clairvoyance every day, so he naturally knows that this clairvoyance is bigger and longer than the one in Tianlu Pavilion, and it can see more stars.

"This is a rare sharp weapon, Your Majesty!" Sima Tan murmured.
