Chapter 318 Promotion

"Look at your promising prospect." Liang Xiao glanced at Dongfang Shuo contemptuously. "Tell me quickly, why am I in danger? Let me tell you a reason, there are all beautiful women and wine. If you can't tell the truth, don't talk about beauty, you can't even smell the fragrance."

"really?"

"Of course it's true."

"Then I ask you, what do you think of the Greek electoral system?"

"Election system?" Liang Xiao blinked. "I think it's pretty good."

"It's good?" Dongfang Shuo sneered: "Then do you want to say that the emperor of my great Han should not be inherited by his father and son, but should be recommended to each other. Not only does the Liu clan member have a share, but even the princes of different surnames have a chance?"

"Uh" Liang Xiao no matter how stupid he was, he understood Dongfang Shuo's meaning.

Chinese people like to extend the association the most, and his attitude towards the electoral system is indeed reminiscent of this problem. He also knows that since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, several generations of emperors have implemented the method of strengthening the centralization of strong, weak branches, and strengthening centralization. First, they eliminated kings of different surnames, and now they eliminated kings of the same surname, which are both the same purpose.

When the imperial power is unified, I am the world, which originated from Qin Shihuang and became Emperor Wu of Han. The conflict between the King of Huainan and the court is not so much a conflict between Huang and Lao and Confucianism, but a conflict between decentralization and dictatorship. At this time, when he advocated the electoral system, what would others think? In connection with his exchanges with Liu Ling, he was just a fool and would think that he was for the King of Huainan.

"Don't tell me, you didn't expect this." Dongfang Shuo stared at Liang Xiao's eyes and lowered his voice. "Tell me, what exactly do you think?"

Liang Xiao's eyes flashed. He looked at Dongfang Shuo, but he stopped talking.

To be honest, although he was not as serious as Dongfang Shuo thought, he did have such ideas. Otherwise, he would not have wanted to fool Dongfang Shuo to the Western Regions. But specifically, he really didn't want to act so quickly. He felt that he did not have enough strength, so he just made some preparations. Unexpectedly, a little wind just blowing caused a big wave, and directly blowing Dongfang Shuo to the Western Regions.

"The emperor is not happy?"

"What do you think?" Dongfang Shuo asked back.

Liang Xiao turned his eyes and turned to look at the knights on both sides of the carriage, and suddenly laughed. "Since you know that the emperor is unhappy, you have come here for a distance of thousands of miles? What's going on with these knights? Could it be that they came to capture me back to Chang'an for trial, right?"

"If this is the case, then things will be simple." Dongfang Shuo sighed: "Liang Xiao, don't you understand what kind of person the Emperor of Heaven is? The longer he endured, the more ruthless he would take revenge. There was Zhou Bo in Emperor Wen's dynasty and Zhou Yafu in Emperor Jing's dynasty. Do you want to follow their father and son? Liang Xiao, it doesn't matter if you want to be a minister of bones, but you can't drag me down."

Liang Xiao glanced at Dongfang Shuo contemptuously. "Look at your unpromising look. You won't escape, right?"

"It's almost the same." Dongfang Shuo said frankly: "I can't stand by death and have to go there at least. If you don't listen to my advice and have to seek death, then I can do it, so I have to break up with you and have nothing to do with each other in the future."

"Really or not?" Liang Xiao looked at Dongfang Shuo up and down. "Then are you planning to look back immediately now, or do you follow me to Dayuan first?"

Dongfang Shuo looked at Alpha and the four of them who were close outside the window, grinned, and the seriousness and solemnity that had just passed away, revealing the face that Liang Xiao was most familiar with. "Since you are here, of course you have to go to Dayuan first."

"This is almost the same." Liang Xiao patted Dongfang Shuo's shoulder hard and squeezed his eyes. "Do you understand the book I brought to you?"

"What kind of books do I can't understand? Give me half a year to let me learn the words of the Western Yi first." Dongfang Shuo looked arrogant. "Come on, I'll test you too." As he said that, he took out a brocade box from the carriage, took out a cliff eyes and a silk book from it. "There is a question here, which is related to this cliff eyes, and it depends on whether you can write a fixed pattern."

Liang Xiao glanced at the wrinkled silk book, looked at Dongfang Shuo again, and suddenly laughed. If he couldn't solve such a simple optical refraction, it would be too sorry to the junior high school physics teacher. However, for people of this era, this question is too profound. Without trigonometric functions, it is impossible to get accurate results. As far as he knows, trigonometric string numbers have not been invented.

Dongfang Shuo was a little guilty and said calmly: "Why are you laughing at? Are you afraid that you can't solve it? I'm embarrassed to show your eyes?"

Liang Xiao shrugged, took Qianliyan, looked at him, picked it up, and aimed at the battlefield that had entered the end in the distance. A slightly green and slightly distorted image appeared in front of him, barely able to see the figure clearly. Despite this, this surprised him very much. Needless to say, this should be Liu Ling's masterpiece. The disciples of Huainan Prince's Mansion were really smart to be able to make Qianliyan in such a short time.

Liang Xiao sighed softly, looking lonely with a look of master. "I'm afraid no one can understand it if I solve it. It's snowy and the song is so beautiful."

Dongfang Shuo's face twitched, showing a look of unwillingness. "Did you mention these in the books of the Western sages?"

Liang Xiao laughed twice, not saying anything. "Why don't you go and see it yourself? Brother Man Qian, you have come from Qi and have seen the real sea. Why did you feel at ease to be a frog in the well when you arrived in Chang'an? Since you are here, take a look. There are not only beautiful women and wine, but also wisdom that you have never seen before."

Dongfang Shuo smiled, but he stopped talking.

Liang Xiao got out of the carriage and met Li Danghu and others. Among the fifty officials, half were his colleagues in the Weiyang Lang Office, and most of the other half had met. The remaining more than one hundred knights were Li Guang's personal guards, most of whom were from Longyou, and all were strong and brave young knights.

What surprised Liang Xiao the most was Tu Hu. Tu Hu was Zheng's confidant at that time. When he came to the Western Regions, he could only come out of the orders of Zheng at that time. This made Liang Xiao very grateful to Zheng at that time. When he left Guangling, he owed Zheng at that time. Later, he settled his family in Maoling, and Zheng at that time helped. Now when he arrived in the Western Regions, Zheng sent the most reliable people around him to help. This kind of kindness is more important than Mount Tai.

Dongfang Shuo and Tu Hu had a personal relationship, but Li Danghu was both public and private. He first announced the emperor's edict. Because Liang Xiao made contributions to the Western Regions, the Yuezhi prince Batu and the good horses contributed by Dayuan arrived in Chang'an. The Han Dynasty's Shengwei arrived west of the Pamir Mountains for the first time. The emperor appointed Liang Xiao as the cavalry commander, with a rank of 2,000 stones, and officially made an official mission to be the envoy of the Western Regions.

Li Danghu handed over the silver official seal and the blue ribbon to Liang Xiao. When the handover was handed over, he came to Liang Xiao and smiled and said, "A Xiao, you are now rising to the top. Apart from the noble family's children, you are the first to be able to take 2,000 stones at such a young age."

Liang Xiao was a little excited when he took over the seal. Although he was still a long way from being a general and a marquis, at his age, it was not easy to be able to become a 2,000-stone. Normally, being a man is just the first step to enter the career of the officialdom, and many people never take the second step in their lifetime. Li Dang's father's favor was the man. In the past four or five years, he still has no hope of promotion.

Of course, he, the cavalry captain, did not fall from the sky. If he hadn't taken the risk of making great contributions, just relying on his qualifications, I don't know which year of the Monkey and Horse Month would have to wait for.

"The Western Regions are vast and there are many opportunities. With your abilities, it is easy to get promoted." Liang Xiao tucked the ribbon around his waist and greeted the officials with a smile. The officials returned the favor one by one and had a warm conversation.

Li Shuyun is the most active. He is now a cavalry general of Qianshi. Along the way, he is like a leader of a man who is as good as Li. When he returns to Liang Xiao, he is highly valued.

A group of young people gathered together to talk about the future. The Qiang people of Yuezhi also killed all the Huns. Ma Qi and others gathered over and were very happy to see so many heroic young men of the Han family. In his opinion, Liang Xiao could play such a great role alone, and two hundred people came. What kind of enemies would be invincible?

Ma Qi held a banquet to greet Li Danghu and others, and sat on the ground next to Ruoshui, drinking and talking.

After three rounds of wine, Liang Xiao and Maqi discussed. The war in Hexi came to an end. The Huns were about to come back soon. They would stop when they were ready and transport the spoils back to their nests in Nanshan. If possible, Maqi could send people to occupy the oasis in Ruoshui and confront the Huns. However, considering the disparity in strength between the two sides, it would be best not to have too high expectations.

March agreed. He gained a lot after fighting for half a month. The results of the Huns' hard work for a year have become his spoils. In addition to the plundered population, his strength has increased greatly and it will take some time to digest it.

"Sir, when will I come again?" said Maqi, "This Hexi was originally the homeland of my Yuezhi people, but now it is occupied by the Huns. I am unwilling to accept it."

"Don't worry, the days to retake Hexi will not be too long. However, before this, we have another important thing to do. Prince Aliusu of Yuezhi fought against the Wusun people, restrained the main force of Wusun and created opportunities for the Dusun. The Dusun should also rush to him to help him, so as not to suffer heavy losses."

Maqi hesitated for a long time and refused to give Liang Xiao an accurate answer. He had no deep impression of Aliusu. After the Yuezhi Wangting moved westward, he was the strongest leader of the tribe here. If the prince Aliusu came back, wouldn't he have to give up his current interests?

Liang Xiao couldn't help but sigh in secret.

The Yuezhi Wangting was too far away and had no appeal to these little Yuezhi people. If Aliusu wanted to gather all the Yuezhi people together, there would be no better way except for force. He originally had a chance. If he did not attack Chigu City, but came to Hexi with him. Now, it is hard to say whether he is still alive. Even if he is alive, whether he can return to Hexi depends on whether Maqi and others agree.

Liang Xiao had no choice but to propose to Maqi, converting the spoils he deserved into war horses and supplies, and letting him and the Puli people go back to save Aliusu.

This time, March was very happy and agreed immediately.

To be continued.
