Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 670
The imperial court can prevent someone from becoming an official, but it never has the power to force someone to become an official.A rascal like Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, could only sigh and laugh at himself when he failed to invite Shangshan Sihao, and there was no reason to force him to be an official.

Not only can he resign, but it is also very convenient. Liang Xiao doesn't even need to go back to Chang'an, as long as he leaves his seal, he can leave at any time.His lieutenants or officials will report the situation to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to make arrangements.Before the successor is in place, the relevant affairs are handled by the deputy general or officials.In the current situation, of course it is handed over to Xu Le.

That's right, Dahan's resignation is so capricious that he doesn't even need to write a resignation letter.

But in this way, the court will be in great trouble.Without Liang Xiao, will Xu Le be able to stabilize the situation in the Western Regions, not to mention, where will the court's face be put?Four hundred knights conquered the west and pacified the legendary general of the Western Regions, but he resigned and retired in a blink of an eye. What's the matter?It must be that the court suspected Liang Xiao and killed the donkey, forcing Liang Xiao to retire at a young age.

Although this is true, the impact can be too bad.If the court is so cold, who will serve the court in the future.

When he heard Han Anguo's reply, the emperor's mood changed drastically.Before, he was worried that Liang Xiao would occupy the Western Regions, and he would not lose his tail. Now that he learned that Liang Xiao might abandon his official position and go back to seclusion, he was worried about his reputation again.Liang Xiao pacified the Western Regions, and he was about to spare his hands to send troops to the grasslands. If something like this happened, morale would be greatly affected.

Thinking that Cao Shi has not entered the palace until now, the emperor felt very uncomfortable.

"Han Gong, what should I do?"

Before coming to see the emperor, Han Anguo had repeatedly weighed the pros and cons. Seeing the emperor's question now, he immediately said: "What kind of action does your Majesty think the champion will take most? Is it to become a king on his own, or to go into seclusion?"

The emperor's eyes flickered, and he thought for a while, unable to make a decision.

Han Anguo asked again: "Your Majesty, do you want the champion Hou Xianyun to travel leisurely with wild cranes, or do you want him to return to Chang'an to assist His Majesty?"

The emperor smiled without hesitation: "Of course I want him to return to Chang'an." Maybe because he felt that what he said was too direct, he explained: "When the country is employing people, Liang Xiao has a big picture in mind, and he is always at the left and right, so he can make up for it." My fault. After several years of experience, I can also help Han Gong, just like in Henan."

Han Anguo nodded repeatedly. "What Your Majesty said is true. Liang Xiao is tall and good at fighting. If he is a minister, he can assist His Majesty to make the pilgrimage. If he is a savage, he will inevitably be confused by others and become a hidden danger to the country. But..." Han Anguo suddenly stopped, as if Looking at the emperor with a smile.The Son of Heaven felt guilty when he saw him, so he gave a forced laugh twice, and Han Anguo said again: "Liang Xiao is vulgar and seldom polite, and he has offended His Majesty a lot, and now he is in a place of suspicion, so I am afraid he will not dare to come back." .”

"Don't dare to come back?" The emperor savored Han Anguo's words, and gradually understood what Han Anguo meant, and a burst of anger surged in his heart.Of course he understood what Han Anguo was talking about, it was nothing more than the progress of Zhang Tang's case.

Zhang Tangguan has been in Tingwei Prison for nearly two years, but the emperor rejected the opinions of Tingwei Temple in the two autumn judgments.Dou Ying published newspapers to let scholars from all over the world discuss the pros and cons of the rule of law in order to use public opinion to liquidate the Legalists.Not only did Zhang Tang die, but he also had to die clearly, and he couldn't just die.In Dou Ying's words, let all court officials act like Zhang Shizhi and act according to the law.

But the emperor didn't want that.The reason why Zhang Shizhi became the opponent of Dou Ying's propaganda was because he refused to follow the emperor's will.If all the Tingwei judged the case according to the law like Zhang Shizhi, who would take the emperor seriously in the future.

What is a law?The words of the emperor in the previous dynasty are laws, and the words of the emperor in this dynasty are orders. The law of Legalism is originally the law of the king.

This is the reason why the emperor has been dragging this matter.Zhang Tang's death is not a pity, but this practice cannot be opened, otherwise he will become a puppet.

After dragging on for two years, I'm afraid it will be decided now.The Son of Heaven looked at Han Anguo who bent over and cupped his hands, feeling a burst of sadness in his heart.Dou Ying, a veteran minister who has always been loyal to the court, wants to limit the monarchy, and Han Anguo, the prime minister who is the head of hundreds of officials, also wants to limit the monarchy. They colluded with Liang Xiao internally and externally, and wanted to force the court to submit.

"I'll think about it again." The emperor waved his hands and walked away.

Liang Yu stood at the door, looking at Liu Ling who was writing at his desk, with some hesitation in his eyes.

"Come in, what are you doing standing at the door?" Liu Ling said without raising his head.

Liang Yu sighed softly, stepped into the room, stood behind Liu Ling, glanced over Liu Ling's shoulder, glanced at what Liu Ling had written, and said with a soft smile: "Sister-in-law is missing brother, writing a letter from home?"

"Yeah, after a year of separation, he didn't come back with a family letter. I always have to write a family letter, otherwise I won't be born." Liu Ling put down his pen and said bitterly: "He is naturally at ease, not only with Princess Dawan, mother and child Stay with me, I heard that there is a widow from Aleusu who keeps incense everywhere, how can I still remember Chang'an."

Liang Yu's eyes moved slightly. "According to sister-in-law, brother doesn't want to come back?"

Liu Ling glanced at Liang Yu, and laughed out loud. "Are you asking for the emperor?"

"The emperor wants to ask, and I want to ask too."

"You're honest." Liu Ling spread his arms, leaned on the back of the chair, looked over the carved window edge, and looked at the fragrant wintersweet in the courtyard, with a smile on his mouth. "Then let me ask you, one is a prisoner in Chang'an who lives in a city with thousands of households but cannot help himself, and the other is a barbarian king who rides thousands of horses and fights against the heroes of the world. Which one would you choose?"

Liang Yu was taken aback. "Brother wants to be king?"

"There are so many kings in the world, what's the fuss?" Liu Ling dismissed it. "Wen Ji, you won't be like those snails at the bottom of the well who only focus on big men, right? Those barbarians can be kings, why can't your elder brother be kings?"

Liang Yu laughed awkwardly. "Is this what brother means?"

"It's what I meant." Liu Ling stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples. "I'm worried that your elder brother will be confused for a while, so I want to write a letter to tell him not to come back. A good man has ambitions everywhere, so he can't go anywhere with his ability, so he has to go back to Chang'an?"

"But... what about my sister-in-law?"

"As long as my son can split the soil and become a prince at ease in the future, I have nothing to worry about." Liu Ling raised his brows lightly, with a smile on his lips. "Wen Ji, I suffered because of your elder brother. Will your elder brother forget me and treat my child badly?"

Liang Yu shook his head helplessly. "Sister-in-law, your decision... is not weaker than a man's. How can you sacrifice yourself."

"You don't have children, so you won't have such thoughts. When you have children, you won't find it strange." Liu Ling paused, the smile on his face disappeared, and he felt a little more helpless. "What can I do if I don't think so? You think that when your elder brother comes back to Chang'an, I will be free. Since he is not free, why bother to drag him. Zhuang Ziyun: It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to be in love with each other. This Chang'an city It's just a big cage, making people breathless. Not only do I not want your elder brother to come back, but if possible, I also want to leave, even if I go back to Mount Lu, it will be more comfortable than being here."

Liang Xiao lowered his head.She deeply sympathized with Liu Ling's words.Thinking about it carefully, the time in Mount Lushan was the best, free and easy, without worrying about saying the wrong thing, going the wrong way, or getting into misfortune because of someone's slander.

Although Chang'an is good, it is not my hometown.

"Sister-in-law, if you can go, you can take me with you."

Liu Ling squinted at Liang Yu for a moment, then laughed again.Liang Yu blushed slightly, but did not flinch.She took Liu Ling's hand and patted it lightly. "Sister-in-law, I'm serious. I've lived in Chang'an for a long time, so it's really not interesting."

Liu Ling thought about it. "Okay, if you can ask the emperor to issue a clear edict to let us leave the customs, I will take you away."

Liang Yu's eyes lit up. "really?"

"It can still lie to you." Liu Ling patted Liang Yu's hand. "I'll take you to find your elder brother. I heard that after leaving Longxi, it is the land of barbarians. Those barbarians have never read any books, let alone know the rituals of saints, but they are very barbaric. Your brother is a barbarian. I'm used to it, and I won't come back."

Liang Yu blushed and stuck out the tip of his tongue in embarrassment.

-

Liang Xiao kicked the horse lightly, and followed the galloping cavalry slowly forward.

Hannibal sat in front of him, dancing and screaming with excitement.The saliva flowed out following the ups and downs of the horse, wet Liang Xiao's hand.Liang Xiao curled his lips, and said to Luo Xuli who was walking side by side, "You gave birth to a slobbering baby."

Luo Xuli smiled coquettishly: "That's right, follow his father."

"Nonsense, I didn't drool when I was young. I must have followed my mother. I heard that your jaw was rotten when you were young."

"Nonsense, I'll strangle you to death—" Luo Xuli jumped up, jumped behind Liang Xiao, hugged Liang Xiao's waist with both hands, and giggled loudly. Her crisp, bell-like laughter attracted many knights. Many knights raised their spears and swords in salute to them.

Liang Xiao turned his head and was about to kiss Luo Xuli, but he saw a dozen horses approaching in the distance, including a camel with a tall figure sitting on its back.He narrowed his eyes, a little unsure. "That's... Dongfang Shuo?"

Luo Xuli also turned her head and couldn't help sticking out her tongue. "You said it was the giant sage?"

"En." Liang Xiao reined in his mount, sent Luo Xuli to her own mount, turned the horse's head, and greeted her.

Not long after, Dongfang Shuo and his party came to Liang Xiao.Dongfang Shuo rushed over, reined in the camel's reins, and leaned over to look at the little Hannibal in front of Liang Xiao. "Is this the little prince?"

Luo Xuli hurried forward, cupped her hands and said, "I met Mr. Dongfang."

Dongfang Shuo glanced at Luo Xuli and nodded repeatedly. "Princess, is there another princess as beautiful as you in the Dawan Palace? It's okay to be older, I don't mind."

Luo Xuli was extremely embarrassed, but Dongfang Shuo laughed out loud. Little Hannibal waved his fist angrily, screaming.

"This little prince is interesting." Dongfang Shuo nodded appreciatively, leaned forward and pinched Hannibal's little face. "Ordinary children are too scared to speak when they see me, but he still dares to shake his fist at me. He must be a brave person in the future. Liang Boming, if only you could be like him."

"Fart you, he is my son, only he is like me, how can I be like him." Liang Xiao cursed with a smile, and handed Hannibal into Luo Xuli's hands. "Tell me, why did you come here instead of staying in the mountains in winter and drinking with Wusun Yanshi?"

"I originally wanted to stay in the mountains, but I was worried that you would be confused, so I ventured out of the mountains. I want to remind you a few words."

"Remind me what?" Liang Xiao avoided Dongfang Shuo's gaze, took the rein of the horse and wrapped it around his wrist.

"It's time for you to go to Greece." Dongfang Shuo cut to the chase.

"I'm going to Greece, where are you going?"

"I'm in charge of the overall situation here." Dongfang Shuo held out his hand. "Give me all your seals, including Champion Hou's."

"what?"

"Why do you ask so many questions?" Dongfang Shuo rolled his eyes. "You go to Greece to relax, and leave the rest to me. If it goes well, I can earn a prince for you. If it doesn't go well, you can only earn it yourself."

"Wang Jue?" Liang Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.He knew that Dongfang Shuo's arrival would be no small matter, but he didn't expect that the moment he opened his mouth, it would be such a big event as being crowned king.It is not a trivial matter to have a different surname as a king.Since the death of King Jing of Changsha, there have been no kings with different surnames in the Han Dynasty.

"The sage moves according to the time, not just for a moment. If there is no one now, it doesn't mean there won't be one in the future. Don't forget, the Han Dynasty has been in power for 70 years, and the time without a king with a different surname is only 20 years. Is there anything impossible?" Dongfang Shuo waved disapprovingly. waved. "After this award, there are at least five Marquises in the Western Regions. You, the Champion Marquis, only have a little more food cities, and there is nothing special about it. How can you rule the Western Regions? It is much more convenient to have a prince."

"Just for convenience?"

"Of course, the name is not right, the words are not right." Dongfang Shuo crossed his hips, looking high-spirited. "Of course, in fact, I still think about myself. If you don't become king, my prime minister is also a fake. How can I be your family order for a lifetime?"

Liang Xiao thought about it. "Have you thought it all over? If that's the case, why don't you send someone to deliver a letter, and you have to come here yourself?"

"Of course there are more important things." Dongfang Shuo looked around, bent down, and leaned on the hump. "How much territory do you want? Do you want to include Hexi?"

Liang Xiao glanced at Dongfang Shuo and thought for a long time. "Don't let Hexi go. If you have to, you can also give up the Western Regions, so as not to tear everyone apart. There are thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to the west of Congling, with trillions of people, enough for us to gallop, so why bother to tear ourselves apart with the emperor."

"That's fine." Dongfang Shuo agreed without hesitation. "You can go at ease. It will be for three years. After three years, I will either give you a prince, or prepare a hundred thousand troops for you. Please take it yourself. Princess, you see that I have made so much effort, should I Introduce a beautiful sister to me? It’s really not good, the elders are fine too. Hey, who is this? Amazon female warrior? Sure enough, heroic, that’s all, that’s all.”

Dongfang Shuo jumped off the camel and greeted the matriarch who had just arrived, smiling all over his face and cupping his hands repeatedly.

"Dongfang Shuo, you must have heard my name..."

Liang Xiao, Tu Niu'er and the others turned their faces in unison.Liang Xiao whispered to Luo Xuli who was stunned on the spot: "Princess, to tell you the truth, I actually don't know him very well."
