A big tree attracts wind, Liang Xiao understands this principle.≠≤∈⊥.╇.

He has always wanted to be too arrogant. He practiced archery hard and wanted to become an official with military merits. On the one hand, it was because military merits were the only way to satisfy my mother's title of marquis, and on the other hand, it was because the army was the best place to hide the identity of a time traveler. There were so many rough men in the army, even if he said some strange words, he would not attract people's attention. At most, he was smart. Scholars were different. They were likely to show some unique clues from his way of thinking.

However, the emperor now wants to set him as a model.

He could understand the emperor's good intentions. If he wanted to expel the Huns and expand his territory, he had to have a large number of soldiers and the people had the intention to join the army. However, the military merits used to reward military merits have become useless and could not play such a role at all. In order to once again arouse the people's enthusiasm for joining the army, he wanted to set a model of gaining success with military merits.

However, Liang Xiao himself knew that no matter how hard the emperor tried, he could not let his military merit titles take on such a mission again. Because at this time the military merit titles were no longer the military merit titles established by the Qin Dynasty. No matter how hard it worked, it was difficult for ordinary people to reach the peak of their lives by accumulating military merits, and there were only a handful of people like him who were named marquis through military merits.

After the fanaticism, people realized that he would become the target of public criticism. Before that, he, a typical example, had to cooperate with the emperor's performance without fail. Not to mention that he must be before every battle, at least he would participate in most wars, and he would not be able to retreat. The battlefield was dangerous, and Liuya did not care whether he was a typical example or a time traveler. Who knew when, which Liuya would kill him.

Today's glory is likely to be redeemed with his life.∧?⊥≠≠≦.com

But Liang Xiao didn't want to do this at all. In fact, after being named a marquis, he already wanted to retire. He had no worries about food, no worries about clothing, money and leisure, mellow wine and beautiful women, and a car and BMW. How wonderful is this life? Why bother to work hard again? Then endure the pain and hardships that struggle between life and death?

Seeing Liang Xiao’s eyes complicated, Mei Gao was a little gloating. “Did you remember my teachings?”

Liang Xiao rolled his eyes, raised his head, and left with a pretentious manner.

Mei Gao sighed with sympathy.

——

As Mei Gao said, for several days, the Liang family had a lot of guests, and they knew and didn’t know each other. Every day, people came to congratulate each other, and gifts filled several rooms in the backyard. At the beginning, Liang Xiao and his son were still excited to count them, but later, they were no longer interested in watching, leaving only a growing number.

Liang Xiao quickly gained five thousand gold in his family. Now, he no longer worrys about how to support those people. He is worried about how many times he will die before he can pay off these debts - of course, it is not the one who gave the gift, but the emperor.

Five days later, Liang Xiao accompanied my mother to Chang'an to thank her for her.

At the gate of Weiyang Palace, Liang Xiao was congratulated by his former colleagues.≦.╊. The men surrounded him, talking and looking enthusiastic. The moon was the first to get close to the water. They knew that Li Danghu and Li Shuyun were both granted marquis, and almost all the men who traveled west were rewarded. In their opinion, joining the army and making meritorious titles was a shortcut. Those who once went on a mission to Dongou with Liang Xiao, but in the end failed to travel west were full of regret.

After talking to his colleagues for a while, he agreed to invite them to drink, and Liang Xiao took my mother into the palace.

The emperor soon met them.

The emperor was in a good mood. After comforting Mama Liang, he asked someone to take her to pay homage to the Queen Mother and Queen Chen. However, Liang Xiao was left behind.

"When I entered the palace, did you feel that the officials were different?"

Liang Xiao nodded, but said, "I am afraid they will be disappointed in the future."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and laughed. "It seems that you have not been scattered by wealth and honor. Be prepared for danger in times of peace, which is good."

Liang Xiao smiled bitterly. "Your Majesty has a solution?"

"Not yet, but I have thought of this question. We have been discussing these issues these days when you are collecting money." The emperor changed his subject. "Master Dong came a few times. He said that "Gongyang Chunqiu" says: In a peaceful era, you should govern the barbarians. Make the world as far and wide as the world is as big as the same. What do you think?"

Liang Xiao thought about it...╋┭.┼c┯o┿m "Is he willing to support His Majesty's conquest?"

The emperor smiled and nodded. "Yes. He changed a little after being robbed by you. I was worried that he would be as pedantic as those old masters."

Liang Xiao curled his lips, extremely disdainful. Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help laughing. "Why, do you still don't like him?"

"Your Majesty, I think that his thoughts have changed so rashly, just like his inexplicable persistence, are not the behavior that a true scholar should have. If his previous theories were really thoughtful, they would not be easily changed. If his previous theories were not mature, it would be meaningless to stick to them. How could such a fickle person have real knowledge?"

"Liang Xiao, you are too cynical." The emperor put away his smile and criticized: "The Master's way is just loyalty and forgiveness. After all, Master Dong is an elder. Don't you think it's too much?"

Liang Xiao sighed secretly and had to shut up. It doesn’t matter whether the reason Dong Zhongshu said is right or not. What is important is that his reason is consistent with the emperor’s appetite. Hasting refutation will only backfire.

"By the way, the Taishi Ling got Qianliyan and was extremely happy. He wished to re-create the star map. However, Qianliyan's vision was somewhat deformed and the enlargement was limited. Can we improve it?"

Liang Xiao's heart moved. "Your Majesty, why not discuss with the Master Huainan? She knew the clairvoyance, and she might be able to solve this problem."

"Why do you need to find the Master Huainan? Can't you? The question that Master Huainan cannot solve, it was you who solved it.?≥v≤≥≡≡net?.╈╊.╃c╊o┭m"

"Your Majesty, I didn't solve that question, which was the inspiration that Dongfang Shuo got from Western books. Besides, solving the problem is not exactly the same as being a clairvoyant. In this regard, I'm afraid no one has more experience than the Master of Huainan."

The emperor was very disappointed. He was silent for a moment and shook his head. "Then let the examination room try it."

Liang Xiao was very strange. "Your Majesty, it's just a few words. Why do you have to make the examination room work hard to study?"

The emperor asked back: "The war is imminent, and I need more clairvoyances. Do you have to ask Huainan for it? Shouldn't such a powerful weapon be in your own hands?"

Liang Xiao was speechless. The emperor's considerations made sense. This key technology could not be controlled by others, especially the hostile King Huainan.

"You are familiar with Western Yi characters. If you have time, please read more books to see if there are any related records in it. Since Liuli was originally made by Western Yi, there should be some clues in it." The emperor thought for a while and said, "I summon the Yuezhi, and the protons of Dayuan will study with you. Yuezhi protons Batu praised you very much, and you should be able to cooperate."

Liang Xiao sighed secretly. This specific technique is really not my strength.

——

After thanking me, Liang Xiao took me back and went home together. Along the way, Liang Xiao remained silent. Liang Xiao asked several times, but she shook her head and said nothing. Liang Xiao was a little anxious, afraid that I would be angry in the palace again, and good things would turn into bad things. He asked repeatedly, but Liang Qiao couldn't stand it, and then said, "I don't look like a person who can't give birth, how could he have no children?"

Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and laughed "sneer". "Mother, when did you see a good look? The queen has no son, it is not her problem. Is it the emperor's problem? If the emperor has a problem, how can Wei Zifu have a daughter?"

"Apart from Wei Zifu, there are so many women in the palace, why didn't anyone have any of them?"

Liang Xiao was speechless and suddenly felt a little strange.

Seeing Liang Xiao’s expression strange, Mama Liang comforted her, “Okay, don’t think about it anymore. Just as you said, I don’t know how anxious the queen is. The queen has no son, and Princess Guantao is in so much trouble. She must have hired countless famous doctors and scholars. They didn’t see the problem, so what can I see.”

"My mother, don't bring such a scary thing." Liang Xiao patted his chest exaggeratedly. My mother's words really scared him. "You can't say anything to anyone. The things in the palace are not just a joke."

"You still need your reminder?" Liang Mama glared at Liang Xiao disdainfully, and reached out to give Liang Xiao a back of his head. "Your mother..." As she said that, she suddenly felt something was wrong and closed her mouth again.

Liang Xiao suddenly remembered what Princess Guantao said to him that day, and tentatively said: "Mother, do you... really have an sister in the Liang Palace?"

Mama Liang snorted vaguely, suddenly turned her head, reached out to lift the curtain, her eyes shrank, and she pulled Liang Xiao again. Liang Xiao leaned over and took a look. They had already arrived at the Bimen Bridge, and there was a carriage parked under the willow tree beside the bridge. The carriage was very simple, with no signs, and it looked like an ordinary family came out for an outing.

However, the driver who drove the car looked very familiar, and was clearly Deng Guobin, a disciple of the Huainan Prince's Mansion.

"Honor Master Huainan?" Liang Xiao suddenly felt his heartbeat like a deer hitting, and his face was a little hot.

Mama Liang glanced at him sideways, smiling. "Are you going to see her?"

Liang Xiao swallowed. Liu Ling was so low-key that he could justify it if he pretended not to see it. But when he saw it clearly, he knew that Liu Ling might be thinking about him. Isn’t it too much to pretend to be deaf and dumb?

"My mother, what do you think?"

Mama Liang looked outside the car and said quietly: "Xiao'er, you have grown up and it's time to make your own decision."

Liang Xiao licked his lips, looked outside again, gritted his teeth, and patted the wall of the car. The coachman whistled, grabbed the horse, stopped the car, Liang Xiao pushed open the car door, looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, he jumped down and strode towards Liu Ling's carriage.

When Deng Guobin saw him, he laughed silently, pointed to the back, and raised his whip. Liang Xiao walked behind the car and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door when the car door opened, revealing a half of his face facing the sky, which was happy and angry.

"Mr. Liang Jun, are you safe?"
