Chapter 632
Dou Ying responded, "If it wasn't for that, they wouldn't have gone to the Western Regions together."

The emperor frowned slightly.Dou Ying answered too quickly, and her voice was a little excited, obviously she came prepared, with a breath of masculinity, a masculinity that makes people dare not take it lightly.

An old man, still as frivolous as a young man.The emperor secretly shook his head, but decided not to confront Dou Ying head-on.This is a major matter related to the court's century-old plan, and he doesn't want to quarrel with Dou Ying without fully considering it.

"It's a big deal, it's better not to rush to conclusions."

Dou Ying asked: "Then can this article still be published?"

The emperor was a little anxious, and asked back: "Can you say it?"

"I thought it would be possible, but I don't know what your Majesty wants."

The emperor lowered his face. "Since you think you can send it, why bother to ask me? If I think it can't be sent, what about you?"

Dou Ying took it easy. "If your majesty thinks it can be done, then it would be great. If your majesty thinks it can't be done, I want to hear your majesty's opinion and see if there is any reason that I didn't think of, so as not to be negligent and miss your majesty's important matter."

The emperor understood that Dou Ying had come to discuss with him in advance.He was a little anxious, turned around twice, and wanted to speak a few times, but when the words came to his lips, he felt unable to speak.Of course he has his own considerations, but these considerations are not on the table.He could even imagine that when he gave a reason, Dou Ying would have several reasons to refute it, and maybe he would use the previous emperors as examples, so that he could not object.

Dou Ying is not Zhang Tang, he will not follow his will, he is here today to prepare for battle.

The emperor suddenly thought of Liang Xiao.More than half a year ago, Liang Xiao was here, and decided to fight to the death, resolutely not to enter the Tingwei Mansion.

"Hehe, I understand." The emperor suddenly laughed, gritted his teeth. "Liang Xiao's like-minded people are not only Dongfang Shuo, but also you, Wei Qihou, right?"

"That's right, I also have the same goals as Liang Xiao." After Dou Ying finished speaking, she got up from the table and fell to the ground again. "I am more willing to be like-minded with Your Majesty. Your Majesty is the head of state, the ministers are the confidants, and Liang Xiao and others are minions. What can't be done in the world? I am nearly 30 years old, and I dare not expect to live another [-] years. But if the heavens have mercy, I hope I can see with my own eyes that the sea is feasting and the river is clear, and the four sides are peaceful, my great man will be powerful for thousands of miles, and the world will be unified."

The emperor looked at Dou Ying coldly, feeling that these words were harsh.The person who used to say this was Liang Xiao, he thought it was normal, but now Dou Ying also said it, but he was a little annoyed for no reason, no matter how he heard it, he felt that it was a bait, a bait to lure him into submission every step of the way.

"I think so too. But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. We'd better be more realistic. If you think you can post it, then go ahead. I can't stop you anyway." After speaking, the emperor got up and walked away. , never looked at Dou Ying again.

Dou Ying stood up calmly, sent the emperor off respectfully, and said in a loud voice, "I obey the order."

The Son of Heaven heard it in his ears, and a surge of anger filled his chest, like a stone stuck in his chest, he had to vent it, but he couldn't.When he left the hall, he looked around in a daze, but he didn't know where he was going.Usually when he was upset, he would either go to the Jiaofang Palace to look for Queen Chen, or Mrs. Wang or other concubines, but today he didn't want to look for anyone.Empress Chen and Dou Ying corresponded internally and externally, and would definitely help Dou Ying to excuse herself.Mrs. Wang is not knowledgeable, and thinking about Liang Xiao's love, she will definitely help Liang Xiao speak.

It's useless to find them.

The emperor thought for a while, and suddenly his heart moved, and he decided to face the strongest opponent and go to Liu Ling.He turned around and called Wuqiu Shouwang and others, let them accompany him, left the palace, walked a few steps, and went straight to the Champion Marquis's mansion, without being notified, went straight to the lobby, and then ordered someone to tell Liu Ling see you.

Knowing that the Son of Heaven was coming, Liu Ling did not panic. First, he sent someone to deliver some melons and fruits, a glass of fine wine, and after dressing himself up, accompanied by Liang Yu, he came unhurriedly to the front of the hall. Glancing at the untouched melons and fruits on the table, he smiled before saying anything.

"Your Majesty has something on his mind."

The emperor rolled his eyes, pretending to be cheerful. "What can I do? It's because I have nothing to do, so I came to chat with my sister."

"If your Majesty is fine, why would you ignore such delicious wine and food? People only forget to eat when they are in a bad mood."

The Son of Heaven was about to refute, but Liu Ling smiled again: "But there is another kind of person, the more unhappy they are, the more they can eat and drink, and even overeat. Fortunately, Your Majesty is not, otherwise it would be a pity."

The emperor came here full of resentment, and wanted to have a debate with Liu Ling, but was thrown off by Liu Ling's thoughtless jokes, and he couldn't help but follow Liu Ling's topic.

"How do you know I'm not? Maybe I'm that kind of person too. The reason why I didn't eat is because I'm not in a bad mood."

"If Your Majesty is that kind of person, then the person standing in front of me now cannot be a wise and powerful emperor, but a fat and stupid pig." Liu Ling raised his eyebrows, with a smile that was not a smile. "Your Majesty may not be willing to be that kind of person."

The emperor was speechless.After a few words, he was brought into the pit by Liu Ling.He shook his head, sat down, picked up a piece of melon, and was about to throw it into his mouth, but he hesitated. "Should I eat it, or shouldn't I?"

"Of course you can eat it, as long as you eat it in moderation."

The emperor rolled his eyes, threw the melon into his mouth, and chewed it slowly. "Sister's words are getting sharper and sharper, just like Liang Boming's arrows, it's impossible to guard against."

"I have nothing to do every day, and a few women bicker with each other, and I have practiced it." Liu Ling said casually: "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, and he is busy with government affairs. He is doing practical things, so naturally he has no time to hone his lips and kisses."

"Is my sister free?"

"I'm a woman, so if I'm idle, I'll be idle. It's nothing."

When the emperor heard it, his heart moved, and there was something in Liu Ling's words. "What if you were a man?"

"If a man is in the situation I am in, there are only two situations: one is to eat and drink too much, and then marry dozens of concubines, and have dozens or hundreds of children; the other is to make trouble for nothing, and find something to do by himself. Those who have the heart to do learning, those who are not motivated will rob the house."

The emperor wanted to laugh, but he didn't laugh out loud.

Liu Ling said that there are two kinds of situations. Zhongshan King Liu Sheng is the former one. He has children when he has nothing to do all day long. Now he has more than [-] sons.Liu Pengzu, king of Zhao, was the latter type of person. It is said that he played as a robber in Fengguo and robbed houses.However, these two types of people are at most losing the dignity of the royal family, there is no danger, and they are not really self-motivated. The ones who are really self-motivated are those who want to usurp the throne and want to grab his throne.

For example, King Huainan.

Compared with the threat of the clan, Liang Xiao and Dou Ying are really nothing.At most they want to set up some rules and regulations to protect themselves.

The emperor chewed the melon and fruit, thoughtful, and forgot to speak for a while.Liu Ling winked, and Liang Yu stepped forward to drink.The Son of Heaven picked up the wine glass, drank it slowly, and drank two glasses in a row, only to notice that the person who served the wine was a tall and beautiful woman, but she had a strange face, as if she had never seen it before.

"The newly bought concubine Ji?" The emperor cocked his mouth.He often encounters such things, the most common one is his sister, Princess Yang Nobunaga, every time he goes to her house, he can always see a few new faces, as long as he likes, he will send them to the car immediately.

"No." Liu Ling shook his head. "This is my husband's adopted sister, my sister-in-law, the emperor must have heard of it."

The emperor thought about it. "Liang Yu, the one whose family members were killed by Jiangdu King Liu Xu?"

"Exactly." Liu Ling said, "Wen Ji, you have always wanted to thank His Majesty in person, and now you finally have the chance."

Liang Yu smiled faintly, put down the jug, and saluted the emperor without thanking him.Seeing this, Liu Ling couldn't help frowning and said, "Wen Ji, what's wrong with you, you're being rude in front of His Majesty. Your Majesty is the Lord of Ten Thousand Chengs, but he's not as talkative as your elder brother."

Before Liang Yu could speak, the emperor was not happy.There is one aspect of Liang Yu's beauty, and what attracts the emperor more is her temperament.Even in front of the emperor, she is as elegant as an orchid in an empty valley. She is a little indifferent and calm, not at all like those women. When they hear that he is the emperor, they will be too enthusiastic portion, or be too nervous to know what to do.

The emperor fell in love with him at the first sight, and when he saw Liu Ling scolding Liang Yu, he couldn't help but excuse Liang Yu, and at the same time clean himself up.

"Sister, I say this as if I am a tyrant who likes to kill people."

"Your Majesty, what did you say? Your Majesty was impolite. I blamed her a few words, but it was wrong?"

"Your Majesty is the truth, but how can you talk about being rude? I think she has a certain amount of advances and retreats, she is generous, and she is very polite."

Liu Ling secretly smiled in his heart, the Son of Heaven is indeed a lustful person, he raised his hand as soon as he saw a beauty, pretending to be a modest gentleman, and refused to show any viciousness.In the final analysis, what is the difference between him and ordinary men, he is not as calm as Liang Xiao.If the Son of Heaven was in Liang Xiao's original situation, would he be able to refuse her invitation?Thinking of Liang Xiao, Liu Ling suddenly felt an indescribable pride.

"Well, since Your Majesty said that she was not rude, then I don't care about her etiquette. But Your Majesty killed Liu Xu and avenged her for killing her father. She should show some gratitude to His Majesty."

The emperor nodded. "That's true, Liang Wenji, tell me, why?"

Liang Yu took his time. "Your Majesty killed Liu Xu because Liu Xu broke the law. Your Majesty abides by the law and judges crimes impartially. It is not for my own selfishness. Why should I thank Your Majesty for revenge. I salute Your Majesty to respect Your Majesty's ability to abide by the law. The teacher's heart is for his own use, and he should be named a holy king."

"Holy King?" The emperor felt relieved, and his brows that were originally frowning were also relaxed. "I dare not take it seriously. As you said, I only did what I should do. How can I call myself a holy king?"

"Your Majesty, a sage is also a human being, but he can only conquer himself. Lao Tzu said that those who conquer others are powerful, and those who conquer themselves are strong. Confucius said that at seventy, one should follow one's heart and do not exceed the rules. Your Majesty will be established at the end of the year. Sanctification is also to be expected.”

Liu Ling pouted, disapproving. "Follow your heart and don't overstep the rules. It's easy to say but hard to do. It's easy for a while and hard for a lifetime. Isn't it a lie to say that a saint comes out in 500 years? You say that your majesty is a wise king, and I have no objection. To say that he can become a holy king is simply flattery."

"That's not what I said." Liang Yu said. "I just heard my elder brother say it, and I wrote it down for a while."

Liu Ling choked, showing a bit of embarrassment.

When the emperor saw it, he felt proud and couldn't help laughing. "Okay, okay, I am indeed not a sage. Otherwise, if your husband and wife have a disagreement, I would be a guilty person. Sister, it seems that Liang Boming didn't say everything to you."

Liu Ling became a little angry from embarrassment. "He just said it casually, how can he take it seriously. If he really thinks that His Majesty can become a holy king, how could he only tell Wenji but not me?"

"That's not sure." The emperor shook his head, squinting at Liu Ling triumphantly. "Even if I can't become a holy king, I can't live up to the expectations of Bo Ming brothers and sisters. I have to do something. Sister, if the two of you must make a mistake, I still hope you are wrong."

Liu Ling narrowed his eyes. "I don't know who the two people His Majesty mentioned are?"

The emperor laughed, but didn't answer, most of the resentment that came when he came unconsciously dissipated.

After more than ten days of debate and confrontation, Liang Xiao finally persuaded the Great Xia's monarch and ministers. Great Xia King Demetri accepted Milan's suggestion, decided to make peace with the Yuejiu clan, and entrusted Milan to handle the corresponding matters.

Immediately, Milan reorganized the army and prepared to go north with Liang Xiao to the Yuezhi to negotiate with the Queen of the Yuezhi.He was about to bring all the elite infantry, about ten thousand in total, but was stopped by Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao said that it is hundreds of miles from the border of Daxia to Jianshi City, the capital of the Yuezhi King, and more than 3000 miles to Wusun. Qingqi would take a month to walk. If you bring infantry, you will not be able to walk in three months. However, the amount of food and grass consumed along the way is also staggering, whether it is brought by oneself or raised along the way is a big problem.If all the elites are taken away, and the border is empty, it will be troublesome if the Yuezhi people turn their backs and attack Daxia secretly.

Liang Xiao suggested to travel in hardcover and with only [-] heavy armored cavalry, while the infantry stayed at the border to strengthen security.Other cavalry and infantry can be recruited from Yuezhi and Dawan. Only heavy armored cavalry is not available in other countries, so just bring them.

Mi Lan was in the middle of her arms, and agreed without hesitation.He did not go in person, but sent his eldest son Doros to accompany Liang Xiao.Doros is nearly thirty years old, and he is in his prime. He has commanded the heavy cavalry to fight with his father for several years, and he is quite conceited.However, after communicating with Liang Xiao, he thought he was not as proficient in riding and fighting as Liang Xiao, so he volunteered to go out with Liang Xiao to gain experience.

Liang Xiao led Doros and five hundred heavy armored cavalry, hurried all the way, and came to Jianshi City again.

Knowing that Liang Xiao formed an alliance with Da Xia and brought five hundred heavy armored cavalry, the Queen of Da Xia and all the officials were shocked.Facing the reality, the Queen didn't have the courage to fight Liang Xiao, and she didn't want her son Batu to die in battle, so she had to order Ajina and Vesuti to lead [-] cavalry each to help.

Liang Xiao agreed with Wei Suti to ask him to cross the Congling Ridge and join forces with Tie Huali and Batu to threaten the south of Wusun, while he himself took Ajina and Doros to Dawan.
