Huainan Palace.n, the crown prince Liu Qian walked into Liu An's study quickly.He paused at the door, took two breaths, rubbed his face again, and made himself appear calmer, before he raised his hand and knocked on the door."
Come in."
Liu An's voice came out, calm as usual, and he couldn't hear anything abnormal.Liu Qian listened, but he was even more unhappy.He took off his shoes, pushed the door open, and walked in.It was warm in the room and the heat was blowing in the face.Liu An was wearing plain clothes, sitting in front of the bookcase, and was writing in a hurry."
Father, I'm writing an article again" "Give a book to the Son of Heaven." ”"Return the book" Liu Qian was startled, and hurriedly reached out to hold Liu An's hand."
Father, the last time I wrote the book, I have already cut two counties, don't you have to force the Son of Heaven to continue to cut the domain" "Who said that those two counties were cut off" Liu An's sparse eyebrows were raised, and he looked at Liu Qian unhappily."
Well, that's for my sister, I can't count as a cut.But the Son of Heaven issued an edict to reward his sister, shouldn't he choose another food town, but choose two counties in Huainan Kingdom" Liu An put down his smile, rubbed his hands for a while, and sighed softly."
You still don't understand what the Son of Heaven means."
Liu Qian's face twitched.From Liu An's tone, he heard a faint disappointment again.Although he was used to it, he still couldn't control his emotions when he heard such words."
First of all, the Son of Heaven did not say that my book was wrong.On the contrary, he also asked Yan Zhu to write me a reply, thanking me for my concern for the affairs of the imperial court. ”Liu An took out Yan Zhu's reply and pushed it in front of Liu Qian.Liu Qian didn't answer, he already knew the content in advance.Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to Liu An in a hurry.It is not said in the edict.But the Son of Heaven did not adopt Liu An's letter at all.The meaning is already clear.What I don't understand is not him Liu Qian, but his father Liu An."
Father, I heard that the Son of Heaven has great confidence in Liang Xiao and tries his best to defend it.Father said that Liang Xiao is not, how can the Son of Heaven be satisfied Besides, my sister has a deep relationship with Liang Xiao, what will my sister think if you do this" Liu An snorted.Very upset."
I hope she doesn't think about it.The disparity between the high and the low is simply impossible.Even if he is lucky enough to be crowned a marquis with military merits, then when I only have such a daughter, I can't be delayed by him. ”"My father has good intentions, but my sister may not be greedy.Since Liang Xiao's trip to the Western Regions has been nine deaths, why not let him fend for himself" Liu An crooked his mouth, laughed, and shook his head meaningfully."
Qian'er, this is the intention of the father.You want to.Now I'm saying that Liang Xiao is not, and the Son of Heaven can force his resignation.Ignore it.When Liang Xiao dies and laughs for the world, can he still say that I am not right, and now he cuts me two counties, and he will have to pay me back four counties in the future. ”Liu Qian was stunned and thoughtful."
The dispute between me and the Son of Heaven is not a personal grudge, but a dispute between Confucianism and Taoism.The Son of Heaven is ambitious, and he wants to replace Taoism with Confucianism, and he will be happy with his achievements, which will inevitably ruin this hard-won good situation in the future.Now that the Empress Dowager is still alive, he is ready to move, and once the Empress Dowager dies in the future, who else will be able to check and balance him" Liu An said, pointing to his nose."
It's just your father, the king and me.I just want to let the princes of the world know that the way of Huang Lao is a good way to govern the country, and young people can't do good things with just one heart. ”Liu Qian was surprised and delighted, stroking his palms and laughing."
Father, you are really far-sighted.In this way, all the princes in the world know that their father and king are incomparably wise, and naturally only their father and king are looking forward, and everyone expects it" Liu An raised his hand and interrupted Liu Qian's words.Father and son looked at each other and smiled.Liu Ling rubbed his hands, put down his pen, and crooked his mouth proudly.She stood up, barefoot, and walked on the warm floor.The soles of the feet stepped on the soft seats, tickling, as if someone was gently scratching.Liu Ling couldn't help but smile, tilted his head, and looked at the manuscript he had just copied.The manuscript is not long, only a few hundred words, with two pictures, but it is the brainchild of Liu Ling and those guests who are responsible for making clairvoyance.In order to figure out this truth, they checked all the ancient books collected by Huainan Palace, but did not find the answer, and finally Deng Guobin meditated and thought hard for more than half a month, and decided to design the plan himself.Don't look at this manuscript is very simple, but it is the Tao hidden in the clairvoyance.If you grasp this way, you can not only create clairvoyance, but also a magnifying glass that can observe small things.In fact, clairvoyance is made on the basis of a magnifying glass.Liu Ling dedicated the first clairvoyance to the Son of Heaven, but she wanted to show this manuscript to another person."
It's a pity that you're not in Chang'an."
Liu Ling sighed regretfully and carefully put away the manuscript.She decided that she wouldn't let anyone see the manuscript until that person saw it."
Let's see if you dare to be self-righteous."
Liu Ling snorted softly, and then sighed again."
It's New Year's again, and I don't know when you'll be back, but I'm really anxious."
Liang Xiao stood in front of the tent with a smile, and the four Alpha were each holding a tray, and there were stacks of gold coins in the tray."
According to our Han customs, tomorrow is the new year, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family should get together, eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and keep the New Year.The younger generation should pay New Year's greetings to the elders, and the elders should give the younger generations red envelopes.I don't dare to claim to be your elders, but I hope that we can get together as a family, have a happy Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and celebrate the New Year together. ”The knights who came after receiving the order suddenly realized that they were all relieved.It was almost dinner, Liang Xiao suddenly summoned them, they thought they had an urgent task, it turned out to be the New Year of the Han people."
Your Excellency, my lord, speaks better Greek."
Paris laughed."
Thanks for the compliment."
Liang Xiao said with a grin.With four Amazonian maidservants on hand to correct his accent, his Greek has indeed improved rapidly."
Your Chinese dialect is also good, you should drink more wine later.""
Yes, yes."
Paris was overjoyed.He turned and patted Alexander the mad dog on the shoulder."
Look, I said it's useful to learn Chinese."
Alexander shook his shoulders and pulled Paris's hand away.Paris didn't mind either, and looked at Liang Xiao with a grin.Liang Xiao said some auspicious words, then walked up to everyone, said "Happy New Year", and put a golden scarf in their hands.The weight of a gold coin is equivalent to two five-baht coins, and the value is equivalent to about three or four hundred coins, which is not too little, nor too much.The only difference is that this coin is not a gold coin in circulation.On one side of the gold coin is carved in relief the image of the legendary king Alexander on a prancing horse and whipping up the whip of the Greeks, and on the other side is engraved a seal script with the character "Shou", surrounded by the four spirits that the Han people like to see.This gold coin combines Greek and Han cultures, and is a commemorative coin designed by Liang Xiao himself.Greece, as a once great empire, has fallen into the country, and these remnants of Greek descent have no branches to rely on, and Liang Xiao wants to gather them together and collect them for his own use.But the integration of the two cultures is a long-term thing, and it cannot be completed overnight with a few words.He himself actively studied Greek, and also encouraged these Greeks to learn Chinese, and now he is taking advantage of the opportunity of the Han New Year to distribute customized money, which is also to seize every opportunity to make these Greeks familiar with Chinese culture, accept Chinese language, and at the same time can experience his respect for Greek civilization.This works very well.When I got the money, not only the Han people such as Tuniuer felt fresh, but the Greeks also couldn't put it down, and many people kissed Alexander's relief, tears rippled, and a few people even cried.For a while, the thoughts of the homeland came to my heart, and it was inevitable that some heroes were short of breath and their children were long.Liang Xiao said kind words to comfort.He had already greeted the Yueshi officials who accompanied him along the way and set up a banquet.To celebrate, he invited the officials to the meeting, and in addition to each of them a gold coin, he presented a large gift and a silk.The Yue's official was overjoyed and smiled.Looking at these Greeks with red eyes, they also spoke comfortingly.Unconsciously, I also thought of my homeless identity, my mood was complicated, and I got a little closer to Liang Xiao and others.After sending out the money, Liang Xiao announced the start of the banquet.Han Chinese, Greeks and Yueshi people gathered together to raise glasses full of wine to wish the Han Chinese New Year.Everyone spoke half-baked Chinese, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and was interested together, raising their hands and dancing, raising their feet, or singing loudly, or singing in a low voice, and they were happy.In order to make everyone happy, Liang Xiao showed his true colors as a local tyrant.Not only did he greet the people of the Tsukishi in advance, but he also bought a large amount of wine and meat, and he also brought in Kabuki from the nearby city to help the fun.Most of these knights under his command are young teenagers, practicing riding and archery every day, and their hormones are soaring, and they need to be let vent in order to harmonize yin and yang.For a time, the cold and windy grassland was full of spring.Liang Xiao knew that the wine was not good, and it was easy to look foreign when he got drunk, so he kept restraining himself, unless he had to, just took a small sip of reserve.Despite this, in the face of nearly two hundred enthusiastic knights, he still drank high.After insisting on settling the Yue's officials, he couldn't hold it anymore, and lay on the shoulders of Alpha or Beta, or Thea, staggered back to the tent, fell headlong on the bed, and slept darkly, snoring loudly.In the middle of the night, Liang Xiao habitually woke up and couldn't help but be startled when he saw the scene in front of him.The big tent was a mess, the jade body was horizontal, he was pillowed on Alpha's waist, Beta was pillowed on his lap, Xia curled up in his arms, and slept soundly:
