The emperor frowned, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but there was nothing, and followed Gongsun Hong towards the inner door.

On the earthen wall next to Shangguanlili door, a wooden board was nailed, and an article catalog was posted on it. There were only five articles. There were two columns behind each article: one column is like, indicating support; the other column is whether, indicating disapproval.

A half-year-old man stood beside the wooden board. When he saw the emperor coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile. "This man is handsome and talented. If he writes an article, he will definitely be on the list. If he doesn't come to a newspaper to read it?" While taking out five rolls of paper from the bamboo basket slung on his body.

The emperor found it interesting. "Are you waiting here to sell newspapers?"

"Yes, I am Shangguanli's newspaper boy. Not only sells newspapers, but also is responsible for reporting daily statistics."

"It's so hard."

"It's not hard, I have ten dollars a day, I can earn three hundred dollars a month, and I can buy a new dress." The newspaper boy shook his head repeatedly. "Mr., this job can not only make money, but also read. I don't know how many people are rushing to do it. I took a lot of effort to grab it. I borrowed it, borrow it."

The newspaper boy smiled embarrassedly and walked towards the two young men. The two young men were fine. They threw out two money, bought two latest newspapers, and walked away while reading. After a while, the newspaper boy sold four or five newspapers. Seeing that the emperor had not left, he turned over and continued to sell them.

While inquiring about the situation, the emperor asked King Wuqiu Shou to take out his change and buy five newspapers. Each newspaper was an independent article, with long and short, only three or five hundred words short, and thousands of words long. The emperor read it very quickly, almost ten lines at a glance, and without walking a mile distance, he finished all five articles.

He raised his eyebrows and suddenly laughed. "You guys, don't you want to earn pocket money?"

Yan An immediately understood. "Your Majesty means we should write some articles too?"

"Isn't it possible?" Emperor Tian pointed to the script in his hand. "These articles are very crude and have no insight worth reading. If you take action, you will definitely be on the list. At that time, you will be ranked in the third place and let Wei Qihou give you bonuses."

Yan An and others understood and headed again and again.

The emperor laughed when he thought of his complacentness.▲▲▲▲▲,m.→.≦

Liang Xiao walked into Wei Qihou's mansion. When he passed by the front yard, he saw people coming and going, including scholars in Confucian clothes, strong men with swords and swords. They all walked in a hurry and looked like they were marching across the world. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and felt secretly happy.

After entering the Zhongting and entering the hall, Dou Ying waved and said, "Come on."

Liang Xiao came to the hall and before he could take the seat, he complained: "What's the matter? Isn't sponsorship enough? Don't ask me for writing articles."

"Today it's about the article." Dou Ying took a few manuscripts. Liang Xiao took the manuscript and immediately realized the difficulties faced by Tu Ying. These articles were all written by people around the emperor, including Xu Le, Zhufu Yan, Yan An and others.

Liang Xiao thought about it and put down the manuscript. "What's the problem?"

"They all support Confucianism. Confucianism is powerful and has already suppressed the Legalists, and Huang Lao can't breathe. If the articles of a few people are added, this is not a discussion of Confucianism, but a one-man show of Confucianism. Although I admire Confucianism, I don't want to see this situation."

"So, you plan to use your power to suppress these manuscripts and prevent them from showing up?"

Dou Ying stroked his beard and had nothing to say. He did have such an idea, but he felt it was not appropriate, so he did not implement it directly. After the last prison disaster, he gradually liked to discuss everything with Liang Xiao. Although Liang Xiao had stated that he was average in his knowledge from the beginning and did not participate in specific work, he still sent someone to invite Liang Xiao.

"Do you think there is great power in your hands, or the emperor's hands?"

"I know that the emperor has great power, but because of this, I cannot give up. He is also using his power? Although the author's name will not appear on the ranking list, the newspaper is clearly clear. Who doesn't know that they are the counselors around the emperor, and who doesn't know that their opinions are the emperor's opinions? If the top three are all them, wouldn't this newspaper become the emperor's words?"

Looking at the worried Dou Ying, Liang Xiao suddenly laughed. Obviously, whether consciously or unconsciously, Dou Ying has used the newspaper as a channel for the public to speak out. It is precisely because of this that he is unwilling to be seized by the emperor. Otherwise, Dou Ying's idea is enough to prove that it is very appropriate to let Dou Ying take over this matter.

Although he is a Confucian scholar, he is not a Confucian scholar who obeys orders, but a Confucian scholar who insists on it.

"If you just realize that these people's views are the emperor's wind understanding, and the people in the world keep silent and even shout long live, then it will be useless even if you jump around."

"What should I do? Print as usual?"

"Of course, I have to seal it. Since it is a public discussion, no matter whether it is a person in the palace or not, he has the right to make his own voice." Liang Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Just like Cuju, is it because the emperor is about to end up, and you will not be able to do this stadium? It is not your Dou Gong's nature."

Dou Ying laughed, and although he soon returned to contemplation, he felt a little more relaxed. Liang Xiao stood up, waved his hand, and left.

As Dou Ying expected, Xu Le and others' articles dominated the entire ranking list as soon as they were published. There were no articles that could threaten their rankings for several consecutive days. Almost the entire capital was circulating their articles, and those Confucian scholars who had already made a red face for rankings no longer had the intention of fighting. Pearls and jade were ahead, and compared with these articles, their self-righteous masterpieces were not worth mentioning at all.

Although there were still articles published one after another, there were fewer discussions, which forced Dou Ying to think of another way and arranged to print some excellent works from travel notes to fill the page to avoid a cold situation. Several articles examining the water and soil along the river were sandwiched in these articles, and they were not too hot.

The atmosphere in Chang'an City was a bit depressing, and many people were hesitating whether it was a wise decision to discuss with the people around the emperor. Dou Ying was anxious and discussed it with Liang Xiao several times, but Liang Xiao avoided it.

The emperor learned that he was in a great mood and was quite content.

A few more days passed in a flash. Cao Shi, Li Guang led his troops back to Chang'an, and Chang'an City fell into a state of excitement. Countless people spontaneously organized themselves and rushed outside the city to greet the triumphant soldiers.

Liang Xiao, who had been "restoring" at home, also got up and went out of the city to greet him.

The emperor valued this expedition very much and set up a grand ceremony to worship the temple. For more than 70 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the ritual system has not been established, and even if there is a customized etiquette system, it is not very strict. The emperor has always lacked confidence. He took this opportunity to hold a grand ceremony and ordered all the princes and kings in Beijing to dispatch to meet the soldiers on the expedition in Changling (Liu Bangling) and hold a prisoner offering ceremony to shock the princes and kings, saying that he had completed the order of his ancestors and was the most suitable successor.

Although the princes were not very convinced, they could only swallow their anger when they saw the Han soldiers with neat military appearance.

In fact, they also knew that in terms of force, the court must have the absolute advantage. Even Yan State, located in the border counties, could not produce cavalry that could compete with the Gan court. The real horse breeding land was in the hands of the court, and the top horse breeds from the Western Regions were also controlled by the court. Except for the occasional reward of one or two horses, the princes and kings could not get the stallions they needed.

Watching the majestic cavalry team slowly passing by, the war horses were tall and strong, the knights were brave, the princes held their breath, the emperor was dancing with his eyebrows and spirit, and he wished he could also step on the horse and join these warriors who had returned from their merits.

Cao Shi, Li Guang, Wei Qing, Wang Hui and others went to the palace and bowed to the emperor.

Two thousand Huns and Qiang captives were taken over and a square formation was arranged under the steps.

With a command, the sword and axe cut off the captive's heads, and placed the bloody heads in a copper plate, held by scholars, neatly placed in front of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang and Empress Gao Lu Zhi. Although the bloody smell was breathtaking, the princes and proprietors of the vassal state looked pale, while the Han dynasty headed by the emperor was full of energy and very excited.

The emperor knelt three times before the spirit and kowtowed nine times, praying silently.

Afterwards, the emperor announced the reward for the soldiers who went to war. As soon as the edict was issued, the atmosphere reached the highest level. The 10,000 soldiers who participated in the prisoner offering ceremony shouted long live the mountain, the cheers were shaking, and the crowd was excited.

After the reward, the emperor gave a great gift and the king and his ministers were happy. Even ordinary people could get a piece of pie. The emperor set up a flowing table outside Changling, and any people who came to watch the ceremony could receive a portion of wine and food. At the same time, all the people in Chang'an County gave wine and meat, and the whole city was carnival for three days.

In the middle of the night, the emperor was still unwilling to finish his wish and took Liang Xiao and other close ministers to take a walk by the Jing River. The emperor specially called Liang Xiao to his side and raised his eyebrows: "Are you happy?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "There are wise kings, wise men, friends, wine and meat, and naturally enjoy it. I wish this happiness is not long."

"What's my achievements?"

"There are ancient people in front and those who come later."

The emperor was stunned for a moment. "There are ancient people in front and those in the back? From what you mean, it seems that I have some masterpieces today?"

"Your Majesty misunderstood. Fifty thousand soldiers went to war, expel the Huns, set off Hexi, fought for three thousand miles, and beheaded nearly 100,000. Such achievements will be a grand event today. Who dares His Majesty to write a masterpiece?"

Emperor. "I understand. What you mean is that although my achievements are still there, there is room for improvement, right?"

"Your Majesty's wiseness."

"That's right, I thought so when I was in front of Emperor Gao and Gao Hou. Although this expedition was a great victory, it was a pity that I failed to kill Shanyu. But you also know that this expedition was already reluctant to succeed. Although it was the effort of the soldiers, it was also a blessing. If the river was not clear, can we continue to fight? "

"I was also a little worried, but after hearing His Majesty's words, I was not worried."

“Why?”

"Your Majesty is not yet in his thirty years, right?"

“It’s still two years away.”

"Your Majesty think that if you have been managing the river for thirty years, can you complete the task?"

The emperor thought about it. "At the time of Yao, there was a flood in the world, and it only took twenty-two years for Gun and Yu and his son. Now it is just a break from Shandong, so it takes thirty years. In my opinion, even if ten years fail, twenty years is enough."

"Well, even twenty years later, your Majesty is not yet fifty years old. In his prime, his country is rich and the people are strong. Especially the Huns, who dares not accept it? At that time, the south will be in the South China Sea and the north will be in the Xuanming. All of them belong to the Han Dynasty. All countries are wearing clothes and crowns and plaques, which is called full of fun."

The emperor glanced at Liang Xiao and laughed. He pointed at Liang Xiao and said to the ministers around him: "He has drunk too much, he has drunk too much, and he has started talking drunk."

The ministers agreed and laughed, but no one Liang Xiao talked drunk and said in a lingering manner: "Your Majesty, the king is wise and the ministers are wise, this scene is expected."

"Your Majesty, the champion Hou is extremely proud, what we say is exactly what we want to say but dare not speak."

"Your Majesty, I think what the Champion Marquis said is very much. How can you do such a supreme glory without Your Majesty? I am stupid and I wish to follow Your Majesty's tail and conquer the world."

"Don't you all." Huo Qubing suddenly shouted. "Twenty years later, you are all old, just watch us make contributions."

The emperor and the ministers were stunned and looked at Huo Qubing at the same time. Seeing this, Wei Qing hurriedly rushed forward, reached out to cover Huo Qubing's mouth, and scolded: "Wuzhi'er, what about Hu Ba's saying?"

"Does go." The emperor pushed Wei Qing away, pulled Huo Qubing to his side, and glared at Wei Qing. "Why threaten, is he wrong? Twenty years later, can you still fight? Can you still fight?"

Wei Qing smiled bitterly. "Your Majesty, I'm not the minister. Even General Li Guang is only sixty years later, and he is much younger than Lian Poke. Why can't he fight? He is disrespectful here and offends all the generals in one sentence. Shouldn't he be beaten?"

The emperor rolled his eyes. "Uh... Although there are more people offending, it is rare to have such a heroic spirit. I believe you won't care too much. General Li, are you?"

Li Guang has been following behind. This time he made great contributions to the expedition, and he added three thousand households to the town. Li Jiao and Li Gan officially named Marquis, one family and four Marquis. He was satisfied and did not have the mood to fight with Huo Qubing. After hearing the emperor's words, he smiled slightly. "Your Majesty said very much. Huo Langjun is rare. Like his senior brother, he is a first-class young hero. Young people are terrifying. I want to cherish my time and take the credit you can rob. When he becomes an adult, let him conquer thousands of miles away. Listen to the west of the Western Regions, what is the king of ten thousand kings, and wait for him to clean up."

"King of Kings?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and showed a bit of hostility, just like a street gangster saw another gangster. "Who is so angry that he is not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue?"

"Your Majesty, the world is so great that there are all kinds of wonders. Not only are there ugly people who claim to be the king of all kings, but also call themselves the arrow god, which is simply shameless. If I hadn't been my destiny, I would have wanted to rush to the Western Regions and shoot this man with one arrow."

Liang Xiao's heart moved. "General Li, do you know what that person is called?"

"I don't know very well. It is the ugliness of Hunxie's tribe. I got a hard bow from somewhere, so I lost myself and called myself the arrow god. I led my troops to attack the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains repeatedly, which was very abominable."-
