Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 669 Suspicion
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red.He jumped up and threw all the courtiers on the court.

Everyone was at a loss.Dou Ying lowered her head, thought for a while, sighed softly, stood up, and went straight out of the hall.The rest of the people were even more at a loss. They didn't know what happened. After talking well, why did the emperor suddenly get angry?They didn't want to leave or stay, so they had to sit and finally focused their eyes on the faces of Zhufu Yan, Yan An and others.

Cao Shiqiang laughed and said: "My lord, Lord Yan, do you have any news about Mr. Xu? Your Majesty intends to send troops. Mr. Xu is from Yan. He is familiar with the situation in the frontier and has made meritorious service with the champion. I also hope to invite him to be the supervisor of the army." .”

Seeing that everyone ignored him, Tian Fu couldn't help feeling annoyed.He smirked and said: "Pingyanghou, you have collected so much information, do you still need Xu Le to guide you? Xu Le has made great contributions in the Western Regions and is highly valued by the champion. I am afraid he may not be willing to return to Chang'an. Hehe, Western Regions Well, there are beautiful jade, beauties, and good wine and good horses, people who go there are happy to return, not to mention the expedition to Mobei."

Cao Shi's heart shuddered, he laughed twice, but didn't answer Tian Fu's words.He had already heard what Tian Fu meant, the Son of Heaven suspected that Liang Xiao was unwilling to return to Chang'an and wanted to become king in the Western Regions.If this is the case, then this matter may be a bit troublesome.Looking at the imperial court, among the current generals who are in the limelight, who dares to say that they are sure to defeat Liang Xiao?
It can be said that the entire Western Region was settled by Liang Xiao alone. Dawan, Daxia, and Yueshi were all Liang Xiao's allies. If it were someone else who went to the Western Regions, no one would be able to respond to everyone.

No wonder the emperor was so angry.

However, this is a bit superficial, right?As soon as Liang Xiao's letter of victory arrived, the emperor suspected that he had a heart of disobedience. Was it because the emperor was always worried like this, or was someone trying to sow discord in the emperor's ear?

Cao Shi couldn't help but glanced at Tian Fu, his face darkened.He stood up, bowed his hands to Prime Minister Han Anguo and others, and walked away.

After a while, Li Guang also left.

After a while, Wei Qing also left.

Not long after, most of the people in the hall left, and the rest were even more embarrassed.Prime Minister Han Anguo shook his head, heaved a long sigh, and got up to leave the table.He left the hall, took two steps, and stopped again.He thought for a moment, then turned around suddenly, and rushed to the apse with strides.

The emperor was getting angry in the back hall, and the waiters in the hall held their breath, and no one even dared to cough.Han Anguo walked to the gate of the main hall and reported loudly.When the Son of Heaven heard Han Anguo's voice, he immediately suppressed his anger, and there was a dead silence in the hall.After a while, the emperor came over, the flush on his face hadn't faded, but his expression basically returned to normal.

He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Han Gong, I was in a hurry just now, and Han Gong won't blame me, right?"

Han Anguo bowed slightly. "Your Majesty, there are three urgencies in people. You can't force it. It's better to leave in a hurry than to be disrespectful. However, Your Majesty is the head of a country, so you must take care of your health and don't be careless."

Tianzi blinked. "Han Gong, although I am the emperor, I am actually just an ordinary person, no different from other people."

Han Anguo shook his head. "Your Majesty said that I do not agree with you. I am the commander of the army, and dare to compare with military affairs. There are five virtues in generals, wisdom, courage, benevolence, wisdom and trustworthiness. Courage comes after wisdom. That is to say, a general must not lose his mind and cannot be angry. And to promote a teacher, you can’t fight out of anger, otherwise you will be taken advantage of by the enemy. Generals also need to be brave, but this courage is not the courage of a man, but a sense of responsibility, especially in the face of danger.

The emperor took a deep breath and nodded slowly.He beckoned to signal Han Anguo to enter the hall, and ordered someone to give him a seat.Han Anguo took his seat, the emperor walked back and forth for a few steps, then stopped suddenly, staring at Han Anguo with burning eyes.

"Han Gong, do you know that Liang Xiao's family is not in Yuzhang?"

"Not in Yuzhang?" Han Anguo was taken aback.The last time Liang Xiao was demoted from Beijing, all his family members left, and when he returned to Chang'an, he was the only one.When he went to the Western Regions, the emperor was worried that he would lose control and hesitated all the time. It was not until Liu Ling returned to Chang'an and became a hostage that the emperor let him go at ease, while the others were still in Yuzhang.

If Liang Xiao's family members were not in Yuzhang, the situation would be completely different.

"Then where are they and when did they leave Yuzhang?"

"Where did you go? It's not clear yet, but the time of departure is relatively certain, before Lord Weng came to Beijing."

Han Anguo gasped.Before Liu Ling came to Beijing, that is to say, before Liang Xiao went out to fight, he transferred his family away.This is premeditated.

Seeing Han Anguo's astonished expression, the Son of Heaven sighed: "Mr. Han, do you know why I am so angry? To tell you the truth, I was surprised when I just received the news. The court has always trusted Liang Xiao, But he did this, which is really chilling. Wei Qihou has always been close to Liang Xiao, so it is impossible for him not to know the news. Not only has he been hiding it all the time, but now he is still making excuses for Liang Xiao. He would even rather go to the Western Regions than stay. In Chang'an, I... I really..."

The emperor shook his head again and again, extremely disappointed, and gritted his teeth with hatred.

Han Anguo's shirt was wet with sweat, he thought for a moment, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, but his eyes turned cold.

Han Anguo saw it clearly, and couldn't help shrinking his heart.He collected himself and asked, "Has Your Majesty ever asked Wei Qihou face to face?"

The emperor was silent, and after a while, he shook his head.

"Since I haven't asked, how can I be sure that he must know? I and Liang Xiao also fought side by side. Liang Xiao has always been respectful to me, and he can be regarded as half teacher and half friend. But if it wasn't for what His Majesty said, I wouldn't know about it. thing."

The emperor stared at Han Anguo for a while, his eyes were cold.In order to excuse Dou Ying, Han Anguo thought he had a close relationship with Liang Xiao, so he wasn't afraid that he would be furious and punish him as well?

Han Anguo raised his head, met the emperor's angry gaze, and remained silent.

After a long time, the emperor let out a sigh of relief. "Han Gong is chivalrous, don't let Wei Qihou."

"I dare not be a minister." Han Anguo also breathed a sigh of relief. "When it comes to the name of a hero, Wei Qihou is the first, followed by the champion, and the others are just mediocre."

The emperor's eyes flashed, and he pondered for a moment. "Who said that?"

"That's what Chang'an rangers say."

"Really?" The corner of Tianzi's mouth was slightly raised, which was meaningful. "No wonder Wei Qihou didn't hesitate to defend Liang Xiao. It turns out that heroes cherish heroes."

"Your Majesty doesn't want to know why the rangers who have always been unwilling to convince others would say that?"

The Son of Heaven pondered for a moment, seeing that Han Anguo had no intention of giving up, he could only ask, "Why?"

"I heard that when Liang Xiao was in Chang'an, he once said a standard for being a chivalrous man. He said that a chivalrous man is divided into big and small. He promises a thousand pieces of gold, and his righteousness is worthless. He is just a small chivalrous man. He can only be a chivalrous man if he serves the country and the people." .”

"For the country and the people, is the hero?"

"That's right, you have the world in your heart, you are willing to contribute your talents to the world, and you don't hesitate to sacrifice when necessary. This is the real hero. Your Majesty, Wei Qihou was His Majesty back then, and he did not hesitate to offend the Empress Dowager. , working wholeheartedly for river control, calling out for the disaster-stricken people in Shandong, and not hesitating to have a quarrel with the Queen Mother, such a person is not comparable to those rangers who do small benevolence and small righteousness, so they are called heroes."

Tianzi blinked, took a breath, and let it out slowly, with a slightly slower color.Thinking about it carefully, although Dou Ying sometimes doesn't know how to advance or retreat, he has never made a mistake in big right and wrong in his life, and he is indeed worthy of the word "hero".

Han Anguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt his back was cold and covered in cold sweat.

-

Han Anguo walked into Dou Ying's study, looking at the bookshelves piled up all around, Han Anguo couldn't help laughing.

"Junhou is now the most knowledgeable person in Chang'an City. If I don't enter this study, I don't think there is anything wrong with me. Once I enter this study, I immediately feel that I am too vulgar. I must ask for a few good books to nourish me. "

Dou Ying laughed and stretched out her hand to pull Han Anguo to the bookshelf. "You can take whichever one you like. Anyway, I'm leaving Chang'an, and I won't need these books."

Han Anguo picked up a book, flipped through two pages, and said seemingly inadvertently, "Your Majesty really intends to travel? Where do you want to go?"

"Western Region."

Han Anguo put down the book, raised his finger, and plucked the brow. "So, Liang Boming really doesn't plan to come back?"

"Does he dare to come back?" Dou Ying pouted. "As soon as the battle was over, someone went forward to slander the emperor. When he returned to Chang'an, I don't know how many people would take credit for him. I was afraid that he would be confused, so I rushed to the Western Regions to remind him. He is so young, there is no If you need to be in a hurry to return the fallen leaves to their roots, walk outside more often so that no one will miss you, that would be great."

Han Anguo sighed.He originally thought that Dou Ying didn't know these things, so he dared to intercede for Dou Ying in front of the emperor. Now that he heard what Dou Ying meant, he should have known it a long time ago, and he did it on purpose.

How can this be advised?
Seeing that Han Anguo was in a dilemma, Dou Ying couldn't help laughing. "Changru, I know why you are here. After thinking about it, you are the only one in the imperial court who has such qualifications and courage. Others either dare not or cannot. Speaking of which, once Liang Boming leaves, Chang'an is too deserted."

Han Anguo's eyes flashed, but he nodded without saying a word.In terms of courage, Dou Ying and Liang Xiao, the old and the young, are indeed rare outliers. Needless to say, Dou Ying was a stern minister when he was the first emperor. Although Liang Xiao is young, he is even worse.Seeking battle in front of the emperor has become a legend.After he left Chang'an, he couldn't find another young man like him.

There are only slaves like Wei Qing who are able to command troops in battle but dare not speak loudly in front of the emperor.

"It's not uncommon for someone to slander, but it's really surprising that the emperor has such an idea." Dou Ying sighed: "Generals who command troops outside are most afraid of enmity between the monarch and his ministers. Throughout the ages, good generals often end badly. Is it true? Do good generals have disobedience? Many times they are forced out. You know what kind of temper Liang Boming has. Once such news reaches his ears, there is no guarantee that he will not react violently."

Han Anguo nodded.He thought for a moment, and then said: "Do you think he will have a different heart?"

Dou Ying glared at Han Anguo, her face darkened. "Even if you think so, he can only have a different heart even if he doesn't have a different heart."

Han Anguo blushed a lot, and repeatedly bowed his hands in apology.

Dou Ying calmed down a little, and said: "Whether you have a different intention or not depends first on whether you have such an idea. If Liang Boming was greedy for fame and status, he would not have come to Chang'an back then. His master Huan Yuan was the former Ministry of Wu State. He went to Wu State Wouldn't it be convenient? If he wants to be rich, he doesn't need to come to Chang'an, wouldn't it be better to go to Huainan to be the son-in-law? With the ability of Huainan Prince Liu Qian, why is he struggling so much?"

Han Anguo nodded in agreement, but did not speak.

"In addition to whether he has such an idea, it depends on whether he has such strength. Yes, Liang Xiao can now become king in the Western Regions, but that's all. It is delusional if he wants to seize more territories. Li Will the household support him? The four counties in Hexi, even if Guo Wenbin, the prefect of Dunhuang, will support him, will the prefects of the other three counties support him? The 36 countries in the Western Regions sound like a lot, but in fact, his strength is limited, and it is impossible for him to organize a threat The expedition to the Great Han. At best, it is nothing more than the Hexi and the Western Regions he captured. If this is the case, what else can he gain besides the false name of a king?"

Han Anguo nodded again.Liang Xiao is indeed not the kind of person who seeks misfortune for the sake of fame. It is possible for him to be powerful in the Western Regions, but it is not very possible for him to become king. The emperor's worries are really superfluous.

"Does the Lord know where Liang Boming's family has gone?"

"Liang Boming's family? The Lord is in Chang'an, and the others are in Yuzhang."

Han Anguo stared at Dou Ying for a long time before shaking his head. "No, except that Lord Weng is still in Chang'an, his family is not in Yuzhang. The emperor got the news that his family left Yuzhang long before he left for the expedition, and his whereabouts are unknown."

Dou Ying was stunned, and after a while he gave a wry smile, and said, "I understand, these two people don't trust each other. The emperor is afraid that Liang Boming's tail will not fall off, and Liang Boming is also afraid that the emperor will hide his bow, so the emperor will not come to Chang'an. Let Liang Boming go out to fight, Liang Boming also made a move first, and sent his family away, leaving only the Lord Weng in Chang'an. Oh, no..."

Dou Ying suddenly slapped her head. "No, no, Liang Boming didn't want to go to war at the beginning, he didn't even want to raise two thousand stones, the Lord's coming to Chang'an, I'm afraid it was the Lord's plan, not his original intention."

"Then what is his original intention?"

"Hmph..." Dou Ying sneered: "Is that why you can't tell? He is planning to go into hiding. Originally, he wanted to hide in Mount Lu, but he couldn't get it. He also wanted to hide in the court, but he couldn't get it. Now, he can only do it." Hidden in the Western Regions." He glanced at Han Anguo. "Believe it or not, within a few months, his resignation memorial will be sent to Chang'an. Hehe, I'll see how the court will deal with it then."

Han Anguo suddenly realized, and couldn't help laughing or crying.
