Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 449 The Big Plan (Rewards and Updates)

In mid-March, Liang Xiao returned to Chang'an.

After passing Lantian, walking northwest along Bashui, Liang Xiao was stopped near Changmen Garden in the east of the city.

The one who blocked Liang Xiao's way was a pretty young man named Dong Yan.In name, he is Taizhu Dou's entourage, but in fact he is Taizhu Dou's little lover.To say that the relationship between men and women in the Han Dynasty was open, it is hard for future generations to imagine.Taizhu Dou's husband, Chen Wu, was still alive, so Taizhu Dou took care of Dong Yan openly, and he didn't hear any criticism from the people, and Chen Wu himself didn't say anything.

Some people may say that it is because Guantao is so noble that Chen Wu can only pinch his nose, but this is not the case.In terms of dignity, who can be more noble than the emperor?When Liu Bang was still alive, Shen Shiqi was trusted by Queen Lu Zhi, and he had close contacts, and Liu Bang didn't say anything.

Liang Xiao had heard about Dong Yan for a long time, and immediately understood who wanted to see him.

"Dong Jun, I'm still in a hurry to go back to make an appointment. The Grand Master has something to do, why don't you go see me after I finish my assignment, how about it?"

Dong Yan was a little embarrassed. "Your Majesty, the Grand Master doesn't have any other intentions. I just want to express my gratitude, and I don't need to waste too much time for you."

Liang Xiao laughed out loud. "I understand what the Grand Master means, and I didn't intend to avoid suspicion. However, it is indeed inconvenient to stay because of official duties. After I hand in the errand, I will go to the mansion to plead guilty. I must satisfy the Grand Master, and I will never embarrass Dong Jun."

Seeing Liang Xiao's insistence, Dong Yan didn't dare to force it, so he complied.Liang Xiao took two steps, then suddenly reined in his horse, signaling Dong Yan to come over.Dong Yan didn't dare to neglect, and hurried over.

"Dong Jun, I remember your family sells beads?"

Dong Yan was very embarrassed. "Yes, I don't know what orders the lord has?"

"I don't dare to obey the order, I just want to ask Dong Jun a few words." Liang Xiao ordered someone to lift the curtain of Liang Yu's car, revealing Liang Yu's pretty face. "This is my adopted sister. I want to match her with several pairs of jewelry, but I haven't found the right one. Can Dong Jun help me to see what kind of bead jewelry is more suitable for her?"

Dong Yan's heart moved, and he understood what Liang Xiao meant.This is extortion.He sized up Liang Yu and was full of praise. "Your Majesty, Lingmei is simply a national beauty. Ordinary jewels are indeed difficult to set off her beauty. Please allow me to choose and match some bead ornaments for her for a few days, so as not to spoil her beauty."

Liang Xiao laughed out loud.Even if Liang Yu is not a national beauty, she can be regarded as a first-class beauty.However, he asked Dong Yan to match Liang Yu with bead ornaments, but he didn't want to ask for bribes.With his financial resources, a few pairs of jewelry are still affordable.He wanted to use Princess Tao's mouth to publicize Liang Yu's reputation and start his plan.

He has been thinking about this plan all the way, and now it's time to start implementing it.

After bidding farewell to Dong Yan, Liang Xiao and others rushed to Chang'an City.

Dong Yan returned to Changmen Garden and reported to Princess Guantao.Hearing that Liang Xiao refused to go to the meeting, Princess Guantao was still a little annoyed, and then she heard Dong Yan said that Liang Xiao asked him to make bead ornaments for his younger sister Liang Yu, and then she turned her anger into joy.

She was not afraid that Liang Xiao would ask for bribes, but she was afraid that Liang Xiao would not accept the gift, so she kept a distance from her.

However, due to the sensitivity of women, Princess Guantao is still not at ease.Liang Xiao suddenly has an extra sister, and she is so beautiful, what does he want to do?Could it be that he was stimulated by Wei Qing's sudden appearance and wanted to send a beautiful woman into the palace?Having one Wei Zifu is enough trouble, if there is another one, won't the queen fall out of favor even more?

In the past, she still expected the queen to have a child, but now the possibility of losing a child is getting slimmer, so Princess Guantao has to be careful.However, since Liang Xiao took the initiative to ask for bribes, it should not be disadvantageous to Empress Chen.

After much deliberation, Princess Guantao decided to personally pick out some good jewelry and send them to Liang Xiao, so as to find out Liang Xiao's real intention as soon as possible.

After entering Bacheng Gate, Liang Xiao went straight to Weiyang Palace along the street.This street is more than ten miles long, and the north and south are within the range of Changle Palace. There are countless complex roads flying across the sky.Liang Xiao and his party quickly attracted the attention of the people in the palace.Halfway through, an eunuch came out of the palace and informed Liang Xiao that the Queen Mother had summoned him.

For other people, Liang Xiao could evade it because of his official business, but the Queen Mother summoned him, and this reason was not good.Liang Xiao stopped immediately and asked Tu Niu'er and others to wait outside the palace gate, before entering the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

Accompanied by a group of court ladies and eunuchs, the Queen Mother is watching cockfights on the cockfighting platform.Two roosters were fighting in the arena, their feathers were scattered, blood was splashed, the battle was horrific, and the audience was also screaming nervously, screaming, screaming and laughing.

Liang Xiao walked through the crowd and came to the Queen Mother and bowed in salute.

"Champion Hou, Captain Qi, Chen Xiao, pay respects to Empress Dowager Yu'an."

With a smile on her back, Mrs. Wang slowly turned her eyes away from the fighting cocks, glanced at Liang Xiao, and pointed to the fighting cocks in the arena. "Liang Xiao, you are a well-known young hero in Chang'an. You made great achievements in battle and killed the Huns. I'm afraid such things as cockfights don't come into your eyes, do you?"

Liang Xiao rolled his eyes, and tentatively said: "Queen Mother, I was also a naughty young man when I was a young minister, and he did a lot of stealing."

"Hehehe..." The Queen Mother laughed. "That's right, it's hard to tell. I thought you were a gentleman since you were a child, but I didn't expect you to be naughty sometimes. Yes, there are times when people are young and frivolous. Just change it. You Don’t you think so? If Zheng had brought you to justice back then, I’m afraid I’d lose a great man today.”

Liang Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he understood what the Queen Mother meant, and he quickly smiled and said, "The Queen Mother praises me so much, but I dare not be a minister. When Zheng Jun was Prime Minister, he taught me a lot, and I have today, thanks to Zheng Jun's love and care."

"Yes, sometimes, you can't be too strict in life." The Queen Mother said something. "Some things, the past is also the past, what do you think?"

"How dare I disobey the Queen Mother's teachings."

"Very good." The Queen Mother laughed. "You are a generalist. His Majesty has already sent Yan Zhuo to investigate Jiangdu's affairs, so you don't have to worry about it anymore, and focus on the big things. Your Majesty has a lot to do every day, and you need the assistance of someone like you."

The Empress Dowager gave both kindness and power, Liang Xiao could not understand why.Originally, he didn't want to entangle with Liu Jian for the time being. Since the Queen Mother came forward to mediate, he was happy to give the Queen Mother a face.Generally speaking, the Queen Mother had a good impression of him. Among his [-] households, [-] households were rewarded by the Queen Mother.

Yan Zhu went to Jiangdu?This was a surprise.What the emperor was thinking, he didn't even hear the wind.However, Zhu Maichen and Yan Zhu went to Jiangdu one after another. Isn't there no one around the emperor that day?Haha what a godsend.

Liang Xiao left Yongle Palace, told Tu Niuer and others to go home first, and rushed to Weiyang Palace to meet him.He entered the palace through the East Sima Gate and went straight to Chengming Palace.The emperor was busy, when he heard that Liang Xiao was back, he ordered him to come to see him immediately.After a few words of noise, the emperor went straight to the topic.

"How about Jiangdu?"

"King Lie has been buried in peace, and the funeral is going well."

"I know that." The emperor waved his hand. "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Liang Xiao pondered for a moment. "I just came out of Changle Palace."

"Changle Palace?" The emperor understood as soon as he heard it, and his face was a little unhappy. "What did the Queen Mother tell you?"

"The Empress Dowager said that His Majesty has already made arrangements for Jiangdu's matter, and asked the minister to assist His Majesty with all his heart."

"Hmph!" The emperor sneered twice, then glanced at Liang Xiao again. "You won't let it go, will you?"

Liang Xiao bared his teeth, showing hesitation.The emperor sneered and remained silent, staring at Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, the enmity between the minister and the prince of Jiangdu was only out of momentary righteous indignation, not because I had any unresolvable enmity with him. Now the minister has rescued the people who were taken away by Liu Jian back then. I also don't want to make any more trouble, lest someone say that the minister is avenging private revenge and misses the business."

"The person kidnapped by Liu Jian?" The emperor was curious. "What's going on here, please tell me in detail."

Liang Xiao put on a very reluctant look, and refused to speak.The more he was like this, the more curious the emperor became, and finally even resorted to intimidating tactics.Liang Xiao did enough of the drama to tell the whole story.He specifically mentioned that Liang Yu was originally planning to dedicate it to Lie Wang Liu Fei, but instead he briefly brought up Liu Jian's murder of Liang Fu.

For Liang Yu, Liang Fu is very important.But to the Son of Heaven, this was nothing at all. On the contrary, it was Liu Jian who forcibly took away his father and concubine was more likely to irritate him.This is no longer a matter of lust, it is unfilial, and when it rises to a political height, it is disloyalty.

For princes and kings, killing a few people is not a big problem, licentiousness and shamelessness can be tolerated, but disloyalty and filial piety are fatal.

What Liu Jian did has obviously touched the bottom line of the emperor, which is much more serious than killing people.

The emperor thought for a moment, changed the subject on his own initiative, and raised his eyebrows. "You haven't been in Beijing in the past few months, you have missed a lot of fun."

Liang Xiao smiled slightly. "Your Majesty, I have also heard about it. However, I have never been short of excitement."

The emperor laughed. "That's true. Wherever you go, there will be excitement. How are you going to play this time?"

"Uh..." Liang Xiao deliberately paused, and waited until the emperor couldn't hold back, before he said: "I want to go to Huainan to ask for a marriage, and then hold a lively wedding."

"This is indeed a good idea." The emperor looked at Liang Xiao with a half-smile, and there was a bit of indescribable meaning in his tone. "One is the youngest feudal lord of the great man, and the other is the most talented lord in the clan. You are a perfect match. I don't know how many people you have to envy."

"I just want to make them envious." Liang Xiao pretended not to hear the uneasiness in the emperor's tone. "The minister has the guts to ask His Majesty to officiate the marriage."

"Me?" The emperor was angry and funny. "There is no precedent for this."

"It doesn't matter whether there is a precedent. Your Majesty will carry on the past and forge ahead. There are no precedents for many things to be done. Your Majesty, I want to ask Your Majesty to officiate the marriage because I am afraid that I will not be able to do so without your Majesty's support. I am planning a plan. Once this plan is proposed I'm afraid that Huainan King not only refuses to marry Lord Weng to me, but may even turn against me, and even..." Liang Xiao shuddered, showing a look of panic. "The subject will be criticized by thousands of people, and his body will be bruised."

The emperor is amazing. "What plan will have such serious consequences?"
