Chapter 247

Huainan Prince's Mansion.

Prince Liu Qian quickly walked into Liu An's study. He paused at the door, took a few breaths, rubbed his face again, making himself look calmer, and then raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Come in." Liu An's voice came out, calm as usual, and there was no abnormality. Liu Qian heard it, but he was even more unhappy. He took off his shoes, pushed the door and walked in. The room was very warm and the heat came to his face. Liu An was wearing a plain single dress, sitting in front of the desk, writing quickly.

"Father, are you writing an article?"

"Letter to the Emperor."

"Is it still written to me?" Liu Qian was startled and hurriedly reached out and held Liu An's hand. "Father, the last time I wrote to me, I have been cut off two counties, but you are not willing to give up? Do you have to force the emperor to continue to cut off the vassal states?"

"Who said those two counties were cut off?" Liu An raised his sparse eyebrows and looked at Liu Qian unhappily.

"Uh...well, that's the one who gave it to my sister, and it can't be considered a cut. But the emperor issued an edict to reward my sister. Shouldn't we choose another fief and have to choose two counties in Huainan?"

Liu An put down his smile, rubbed his hands for a while, and sighed softly. "You still don't understand what the emperor means."

Liu Qian's face twitched. From Liu An's tone, he heard a faint disappointment again. Although he was used to it, he still couldn't control his emotions when he heard such words.

"First of all, the emperor did not say that my letter was wrong. On the contrary, he asked Yan Zhu to write a reply to me, thanking me for my concern for the great affairs of the court."

Liu An took out Yan Zhu's reply letter and pushed it to Liu Qian. Liu Qian did not answer it, and he had already known the content in advance. Otherwise, he would not have come to find Liu An in a hurry. The edict did not say it. But the emperor did not accept Liu An's letter at all. The meaning was already very clear. The one who didn't understand was not him, Liu Qian, but his father Liu An.

"Father, I heard that the emperor is very confident in Liang Xiao and strives to protect him. The father said that Liang Xiao is not, how can the emperor be satisfied? Besides, my sister has a deep relationship with Liang Xiao. If you do this... what will my sister think?"

Liu An snorted. He was very unhappy. "I hope she doesn't think about it. The huge difference between high and low is impossible. Even if he is lucky and can be named a marquis for military merits, what time will he have to wait? I only have such a daughter, so I can't be delayed by him."

"The father is very kind, but the sister may not be greedy. Since Liang Xiao's journey to the Western Regions is a life-threatening death, why not let him die?"

Liu An tilted his mouth, laughed, and shook his head meaningfully. "Qian'er, this is what I mean by my father. Think about it. Now I say that Liang Xiao is not right. The emperor can force his words and ignore it. When Liang Xiao dies and laughs for the world, can he still say that I am wrong? Now that he has cut off two counties, he will have to return them to four counties in the future."

Liu Qian was stunned and thoughtful.

"My dispute with the emperor is not a personal grudge, but a struggle between Confucianism and Taoism. The emperor is ambitious and wants to replace Taoism with Confucianism and be very happy with merit. In the future, it will inevitably ruin this hard-won good situation. Now that the Empress Dowager is still there, he is ready to move. Once the Empress Dowager dies in the future, who can check and balance him?"

Liu An said, pointing to his nose. "Only your father, I am. I want the princes in the world to know that Huang Lao's way is a good strategy for governing the country. Young people can't do good things with just one blood."

Liu Qian was surprised and happy, and smiled with his hands. "Father, you are really far-sighted. In this way, all the princes in the world know that the father is unparalleled in wisdom, so naturally they only follow the father and the horse leader, and everyone hopes to return..."

Liu An raised his hand and interrupted Liu Qian's words. The father and son looked at each other and smiled.

Liu Ling rubbed his hands, put down his pen, and tilted his mouth proudly. She stood up, walked barefoot on the warm floor. Her feet were stepping on the soft seat, itchy, as if someone was tickling gently.

Liu Ling held back his laughter, tilted his head, and looked at the manuscript he had just copied.

The manuscript is not long, only a few hundred words, and two pictures are accompanied by two pictures, but it is the result of Liu Ling and the guests responsible for creating clairvoyance for several months. In order to figure out this truth, they searched all the ancient books collected by the Prince of Huainan Palace, but they did not find the answer. In the end, Deng Guobin meditated for half a month and decided to design the plan himself. After repeated experiments and repeated efforts, he spent countless manpower and material resources, and finally summarized the truth.

Although this manuscript is very simple, it is the Tao contained in Qianli's eyes. By grasping this Tao, you can not only create a clairvoyance, but also create a magnifying glass that can observe small things. In fact, a clairvoyance is made based on a magnifying glass.

Liu Ling presented the first clairvoyance to the emperor, but she wanted to show this manuscript to another person.

"It's a pity that you are not in Chang'an." Liu Ling sighed regretfully and carefully put the manuscript away. She decided that she would not let anyone see the manuscript before that person saw it. "Do you dare to be self-righteous?" Liu Ling snorted softly, then sighed again. "The New Year is here again, and I don't know when you will be back, but I'm so anxious."

Liang Xiao stood in front of the tent with a smile, and Alpha and the other two were holding a tray, with piles of gold coins placed in the tray.

"According to the customs of our Han people, tomorrow is the new year, and today is New Year's Eve. We have to gather together to have New Year's Eve dinner and stay up to the New Year. The younger generations should wish the elders a New Year's Eve, and the elders should give them red envelopes. I dare not consider myself to be your elders, but I hope we can get together like a family, have a happy New Year's Eve dinner and stay up to the New Year's Eve dinner together."

The knights who arrived after receiving the order suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. It was almost dinner, and Liang Xiao suddenly summoned them. They thought there was an urgent task, and it turned out to be the New Year of the Han people.

"Sir, you speak Greek better." Paris smiled.

"Thank you for the praise," Liang Xiao said with a smile. With four Amazon maids helping him correct his accent at any time, his Greek language has indeed improved rapidly. "You speak Chinese well, and you will have to drink an extra glass of wine later."

"Okay, okay." Paris was very happy. He turned around and patted the mad dog Alexander on the shoulder. "Look, is it useful for me to say that learning Chinese."

Alexander shook his shoulders and pushed Paris's hand away. Paris didn't mind, and looked at Liang Xiao with a smile.

Liang Xiao said some auspicious words, then walked up to everyone, said "Happy New Year", and put a golden scarf in their hands. The weight of a gold coin is equivalent to two Wuzhu coins, and the value is equivalent to about three or four hundred coins, which is not small or too much. The only difference is that this gold coin is not a gold coin circulating on the market.

On one side of the gold coin is carved with the image of the legendary king Alexander, who was proud of the Greeks, jumping on the horse and whip. On the other side is carved with the word "Shou" in the seal script, surrounded by the four spirits that the Han people like to watch.

This gold coin combines Greek and Chinese culture and is a commemorative coin designed by Liang Xiao himself.

As a former great empire, Greece had lost its country, and these Greek remnants had no branches to rely on. Liang Xiao wanted to gather them together and collect them as used. However, the integration of the two cultures is a long-term thing, and it cannot be accomplished overnight and just a few words.

He actively learned Greek and encouraged these Greeks to learn Chinese. Now he took advantage of the opportunity of the Han people in the New Year to distribute customized Ansheng Money, and seized all opportunities to make these Greeks familiar with Chinese culture and accept Chinese, and at the same time he could also appreciate his respect for Greek civilization.

This effect is very good. After getting Yansheng Money, not only did the Han people like Tu Niuer feel it was fresh, but the Greeks couldn't put it down. Many people kissed Alexander's relief, and tears flowed, and a few even cried out. For a moment, the thoughts of the homeland surged into their hearts, and some heroes were short of breath and their children were in love.

Liang Xiao comforted him kindly. He had greeted the Yuezhi officials who were accompanying him along the way and held a banquet. To celebrate, he invited these officials to attend the meeting. In addition to each of them, he presented a gift and a piece of silk.

The Yuezhi officials were overjoyed and smiled. Looking at the Greeks with red eyes, they also comforted them. Unconsciously, they also thought of their own refugee status. They were in a complicated mood and had a mixed taste. They became closer to Liang Xiao and others invisibly.

After giving away the money, Liang Xiao announced that the banquet began. The Han people, Greeks and Yuezhi people gathered together, raised their wine glasses filled with wine to wish the Han people a New Year. Everyone spoke half-baked Chinese language, and exchanged cups and cups, and were in high spirits. They raised their hands and danced, sang, and sang in a good mood.

In order to make everyone happy, Liang Xiao showed his true nature as a rich man. Not only did he say hello to the Yuezhi people in advance, he bought a lot of wine and meat, but he also found Kabuki from the nearby cities to cheer up. Most of the knights under his command were young and young, practicing riding and shooting every day, and their hormones soared. They needed to vent their yin and yang to be harmonious.

For a moment, the spring was strong on the cold grassland.

Liang Xiao knew that the wine was not good, and he would easily make a fool of himself when he got drunk, so he kept restrained himself, unless he had to take a sip of his composure. Despite this, he still drank high in the face of nearly two hundred enthusiastic knights. After insisting on settling up the Yuezhi officials, he couldn't hold on. He lay on the shoulders of Alpha, Beta, or Xiya, and returned to the tent shakingly, fell head-on on the bed, and slept in the dark and snoring loudly.

In the middle of the night, Liang Xiao woke up habitually and was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

The tent was in a mess, his body was erect. He was pillowing on Alpha's waist, Beta was pillowing on his legs, and Shia curled up in his arms, sleeping soundly. The three Amazon female warriors were all in disheveled clothes, with lazy expressions, and dizzy faces
