"Uh..." Liang Xiao was very depressed. I said so well, why did I punish me? Although it was not about sweeping the courtyard, it was changed to holding a halberd, which means leading troops to protect him. In short, it was still uncomfortable.

Liang Xiao wanted to refuse, but when he saw the emperor's expression, he swallowed the words back. Although he didn't catch a cold about Jinkou Yuyan, it was not a good habit to confront his boss in person. If you have any questions, let's talk about them privately.

The emperor kept looking at Liang Xiao's face. Seeing that Liang Xiao looked dissatisfied, as if he had something to say, he still didn't say it, and he was relieved. He turned his head and said to Dong Zhongshu with a kind look: "Dong Gong, Liang Xiao is loyal and brave, and he is a little wise. However, the young man was in charge of the army and never had the opportunity to study. If he was rude, he would like to ask Dong Gong to forgive him. I want to keep Dong Gong in Beijing for three months and teach this son to cultivate materials for the country. I wonder what Mr. Dong was thinking?"

Dong Zhongshu was so ashamed that he was robbed by Liang Xiao, and was angry and was about to leave with his full name. After hearing the emperor's words, he turned anger into joy. Although he didn't like Liang Xiao, the emperor asked Liang Xiao to hold a halberd for him and admitted in disguise that his theory was correct. He also said that he would be kept in Beijing for three months, and it must be more useful in three months, so he was naturally just right.

Isn’t the countermeasures just to get back to the government? Now that I have achieved my wish, I still care about the details.

Dong Zhongshu was satisfied. "Vei."

"Liang Xiao, you should read and read." The emperor said again: "The Master said: If you don't learn "The Book of Songs", you can't speak; if you don't learn "The Book of Rites", you can't establish yourself. If you want to be a minister, how can you not read and read."

Liang Xiao had no choice but to bow to answer his order.

"Mei Gao, take him to the Jiaofang Hall and apologize to the eldest princess and the queen." The emperor stared at Liang Xiao majesticly. "It has only been a few days since you returned to the capital. You first offended the prime minister, and now you have offended the eldest princess and the queen. You are rude to Gong Dong. You have committed all those who can and cannot be punished. If you don't study, how can you do it? Just reflect on yourself. Otherwise, your achievements in the Western Regions will not be enough to compensate."

Liang Xiao was very depressed. It was you who spoofed Tian Fu, but he was also dependent on me.

Although he was unhappy, Liang Xiao followed Mei Gao out of the hall and walked along the north-south avenue to the Jiaofang Hall. The Xuanshi Hall and the Jiaofang Hall were four or five hundred steps apart, and the two of them walked again, and it was time to walk. Seeing that Liang Xiao was in a bad mood, Mei Gao couldn't help laughing.

"A Xiao. The emperor favors you so partially, what else are you not satisfied with?"

"Preferring to me? I didn't see it." Liang Xiao said: "I obviously don't like Dong Zhongshu's theory of doing things behind closed doors, but he even asked me to hold a stern for him. Is this still favoring me?"

"Dong Zhongshu is a great scholar of the times, with disciples all over the government and the country. If he had no real talent and knowledge, so many people would have liked him as his teacher?" Mei Gao said with a smile: "Do you know how many people have been under his disciple for a few years, but they can't even see him? The emperor asked you to hold a halberd for him, which is not only a sign of respect for him, but also a chance to listen to you in person. With such a teacher, who dares to underestimate you in the future?"

Liang Xiao understood. These days, he was still connected. Dong Zhongshu had many disciples. Learning from Dong Zhongshu was like adding a large number of friends out of thin air. From now on, there will be brothers and brothers to receive him wherever he goes. The emperor was very determined and asked him to plating the gild, but he had other ideas.

"But I can't talk to him to go together. If you take him as your teacher, how can you argue with him in the future?"

"Only by knowing yourself and your enemy, you can never be defeated in a hundred battles." Mei Gao smiled. "Have you bear it. After three months of holding a halberd and changing it to the position of a minister, you will make a lot of money. You didn't see how ugly Yan Zhu's face was just now."

"Secretary?" Liang Xiao savored it, as if he had some meaning.

"What kind of minister can be called a minister?" Mei Gao asked back: "One general and minister of the country can be called a minister. The emperor has high expectations for you, so don't let the emperor down."

Liang Xiao didn't say anything, and secretly raised his middle finger in his heart. Generals and prime ministers? None of the prime ministers in the Wu Emperor's dynasty can end well. I pretended to be crazy and didn't want to be prime minister. The emperor's intentions are probably destined to be disappointed.

The two of them chatted all the way to the Jiaofang Hall, and a waiter went to the hall to report. Mei Gao whispered to Liang Xiao: "I will meet the eldest princess and the queen later. Don't talk. Whatever I say, you just agree, and you can guarantee that you are fine."

Liang Xiao glanced at Mei Gao and nodded with a smile. He was more knowledgeable than Mei Gao in major matters, but in these details, he was really inferior to Mei Gao. They became a friend and Mei Gao got a mission to the Qiang to explore Heyuan. He became an alliance in the future. I believe Mei Gao would not cheat him.

Master Dou and the Queen were worried in the hall. When they heard that the emperor ordered Mei Gao to bring Liang Xiao to apologize, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the emperor still remembered their goodness and cared for their face. The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, feeling relieved. The Queen gave Master Dou a wink and said, "Let them come in."

Liang Xiao followed Mei Gao into the hall, walked to the queen's seat, and bowed to bow. The queen straightened up and bowed to repay the gift, without the queen's airs at all. Although Mei Gao was mentally prepared, she was still a little surprised after seeing this scene. However, when the queen came back from Changle Palace, she wanted to see what Liang Xiao was. He roughly understood the queen's meaning.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the eldest princess, I will take Liang Xiao to apologize according to Your Majesty's order. Liang Xiao first arrived in the palace and was not familiar with the etiquette. He bumped into Your Highness and asked Your Highness to remember his first offense and forgive him. Your Majesty said that if you cannot satisfy Your Highness and Your Highness, you will be punished with your achievements in the Western Regions."

Mei Gao turned around and winked Liang Xiao, and said sternly: "Liang Xiao, why don't you apologize to Your Highness and Your Highness the Princess?"

Although Princess Guantao has been arrogant for a long time, she is not a stupid person. From the oral order conveyed by Mei Gao, she knew that she had no choice but to use Liang Xiao. At best, the emperor did not reward Liang Xiao for his achievements. It would be impossible to do something bad for Liang Xiao. Besides, even if he did not reward this time, it would be very simple for the emperor to find other reasons to reward Liang Xiao. They offended Liang Xiao for nothing and indirectly wiped out the emperor's face, so that his life would be even more difficult.

Princess Guantao was depressed, but had to squeeze out a smile on her face. "Your Majesty misunderstood. It was not that Liang Jun bumped into me, but that I was not able to control my subordinates, which caused the attendants to mess around in the palace. Fortunately, Liang Jun was wise and taught them a lesson on my behalf, so as not to collide with His Majesty. I was discussing with the Queen to apologize to His Majesty, but I didn't expect you to come first."

Mei Gao smiled slightly: "The eldest princess is very wise, and Your Majesty will be very happy. Since that's the case, we will say goodbye."

The queen stood up again. "I heard that Liang Jun returned from the Western Regions. I wanted to hear Liang Jun talk about the customs and customs of foreign countries. However, Your Majesty is busy with government affairs and cannot leave you, so I will not leave you to speak. Today's feelings will be left to thank you."

Liang Xiao nodded and followed Mei Gao out of the hall and returned to Xuanshi Hall. He was a little confused. Didn’t he say that the empress and her daughter were arrogant and unlawful, and had a low emotional intelligence? Why did she see each other very well when she saw her today, at least she was very sensible in the current affairs, not as singular as the legendary ones.

"Princess Guantao and Queen... have always been so humble?"

Mei Gao was stunned for a moment and laughed silently. "How could these noble relatives be humble people? The Empress Dowager is good at Huang Lao, and the children of the Dou family have to study me. They also know the principle of keeping things simple. Now that the Empress Dowager has passed away, the Empress has no son, and Wei Qihou is idle at home. They have no support in and outside the palace. If they are not humble, wouldn't they be boring?"

Liang Xiao nodded secretly. This may explain why the Empress Dowager passed away for so many years, and Chen Ajiao was still able to hold the position of queen without a son. Of course, for the emperor's husband of Emperor Wu of Han, humbleness and knowledge can only survive and cannot solve the fundamental problem. Just now, after a quick glance, although the queen is still young, she is a few years older than the emperor. It takes a few years for her youth to fade away, and the emperor probably won't have such a temper.

This is a capital tragedy.

Liang Xiao inexplicably felt a little sympathetic. Now that the emperor is so kind to him, who knows if he will be so heartless in the future? If you think about it carefully, this is probably a high probability.

When he returned to Xuanshi Hall, Dong Zhongshu had already left, and the emperor was in a good mood. After hearing Mei Gao's return, the emperor seemed to be prepared and said nothing, but just smiled faintly.

"Liang Xiao, you will have a rest tomorrow, right?"

Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment and nodded repeatedly. He entered the palace for a few days and it was time to rest tomorrow.

"The kings came to pay tribute recently, and Chang'an is full of people. Don't run around, stay at home and accompany your family, so as not to cause trouble again."

Liang Xiao was puzzled, but he didn't ask too much and nodded in agreement.

"If nothing happens, you can leave now. Your horse is fast, and you still have time to rush home for dinner."

Liang Xiao glanced at the sky and was about to agree, but suddenly remembered the agreement with Sima Qian and hurriedly said, "I should leave tomorrow morning. I have a small agreement with Sima Qian, the son of the Grand Historian, and I will go to the appointment tonight."

"Sima Qian?" The emperor also had a deep impression of Sima Qian. "What agreement do you have?"

Liang Xiao told the story again. The emperor became very excited and said with a smile: "Are you ready to attack Dong Zhongshu's unification after you attack Dong Zhongshu's great unification? Are you ready to attack his celestial beings?"

Liang Xiao laughed in silence. "Your Majesty, I don't like those theories at all, and I'm not interested in targeting him. I just think Sima Qian has a lofty ambitions and may have the opportunity to add a grand event to this dynasty, so I'm willing to discuss it with him."

"You are so angry." The emperor curled his lips, disagreed. "Is it really different this day?"

"Your Majesty, please come." Liang Xiao led the emperor to the outside of the hall. "Can your Majesty see the people in Tianlu Pavilion?"

The emperor looked up and shook his head. Tianlu Pavilion was thousands of steps away, and he could only have one outline, and it was impossible to see the person inside.

"Then Your Majesty thinks there are people in Tianlu Pavilion?"

"Of course there are people." The emperor said, then he realized something, turned around and said to Guo Sheren, "Come on the cliff."

Guo Sheren trotted away, and after a while he took Qianliyan. The emperor took it, put it on his eyes, looked at Tianlu Pavilion for a while, raised his eyebrows, then raised Qianliyan again and pointed it at the sky.

After a while, the emperor put down his eyes, turned his head to look at Liang Xiao, and laughed silently.

"Okay, go home and have a rest. Remember, don't go out tomorrow." —
