When Liang Xiao entered the Weiyang Palace, he met several old colleagues he knew and stopped him.

"Haha, Liang Xiao!" A man opened his arms and stopped Liang Xiao. "Good boy, dark and strong. The beef and mutton from the Western Regions are really nourishing."

"Hey, good horse, good horse." Another man touched Mingzhu's mane and couldn't let it go. "A Xiao, are there good horses everywhere in the Western Regions? You are so good, taller than the horse brought back by Li Shuyun last time. At first glance, you are a real thousand-mile horse."

Han Yan walked forward and smiled and drove away the men with the whip in his hand. "Go away, Your Majesty is waiting for the return of thousands of miles to reply. You idiots join in the fun, let me go away."

The men and women realized that Liang Xiao was no longer Weiyoung Lang like them, but a cavalry captain. They quickly retreated aside and smiled embarrassedly. The atmosphere was a bit awkward, with a little more politeness and less intimateness.

When Liang Xiao saw this, his eyes flashed, he laughed, and bowed. "Brothers, a certain king is here, so you can't delay it. After the deal, I will talk to you again. There is one thing to calculate and the other, and you can choose the place. Let's drink and compare arrows. Let's see if you have been lazy in the past two years. How about it?"

"Haha, that's great." Seeing that Liang Xiao was not proud of himself as he was, he was still as happy as before, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.

After saying goodbye to the Langguan, Liang Xiao followed Mei Gao and Han Yan to the greenhouse hall. The emperor stood at the entrance of the hall. Daxing ordered Wang Hui to stand aside and greet him with a smile. Liang Xiao rushed forward and bowed down.

"The envoy of the Western Regions, the cavalry commander, I roar to pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Come on, come on." The emperor was filled with joy and descended a step further. He reached out to stroke Liang Xiao, looked up and down, and nodded with satisfaction. "Well, it's dark, strong, and more calm. It seems that you have gained a lot in this trip to the Western Regions."

Liang Xiao smiled awkwardly. "Although I have made some achievements, I am young and ignorant and have made many mistakes. Please give up your crime."

"Suppose the guilt?" The emperor's eyes flashed, and he was surprised. "What mistake did you make? You want to apologize? Tell me."

"I have been guilty of too many crimes. I will be able to write one or two pieces of bamboo in the south mountain. Your Majesty should let me go to the hall to report in detail. The weather is cold. If you freeze your Majesty, I will have another crime."

Seeing Liang Xiao saying exaggeratedly, the emperor couldn't help laughing out loud and teased, "You are afraid of the cold, but you just said it so nicely."

Liang Xiao became more and more sincere. "Your Majesty, I have climbed the snow-capped mountains that have not been transformed for thousands of years. How could I be afraid of the coldness of Chang'an? I am really thinking about your Majesty."

The emperor laughed and turned around and walked towards the hall. "Come in and tell me about your crimes one by one. I want to see if the bamboo in the South Mountain is enough."

"Now!" Liang Xiao bowed and replied. At the same time, he squeezed his eyes to Mei Gao. Mei Gao smiled silently and reached out to signal Liang Xiao to go in quickly. He was a little confused. Since Liang Xiao was so knowledgeable and tactful, he apologized to the emperor as soon as he met. Why was he stingy with a horse and insisted on offending Han Yan?

Could it be that he would compete for favor with Han Yan? This is quite difficult. Although he is talented and highly valued by the emperor, Han Yan is the emperor's playmate since childhood. The relationship between the two is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people. If it were not for the emperor's favor, with Han Yan's arrogance, I don't know how many times he has died.

Liang Xiao entered the hall, and the emperor had already sat down in front of the desk, and Wang Hui sat aside. Opposite Wang Hui, the emperor ordered people to set up a brocade mat. Liang Xiao stepped forward and sat on the mat, but his butt did not touch his heel. It didn't look like he was sitting, but kneeling.

The emperor grinned. "Don't be so reserved. It's not too late to apologize if I finish hearing your sins."

"Your Majesty. Me..." Liang Xiao grinned in embarrassment. "I can't sit still."

"Can't sit down?" The emperor was stunned and looked at Wang Hui. "What does it mean to be unable to sit down?"

Wang Hui's eyes rolled, and immediately understood, bowed and chuckled, "Your Majesty doesn't know that the Hu people in the Western Regions are vulgar and rude. They don't sit on the ground like us Han people, but sit down with their feet hanging down. Liang Xiao has been in the Western Regions for more than two years and fights side by side with the Hu people, so he naturally has to follow the customs. Moreover, he has been fighting for the past two years. I'm afraid that like the Huns, these legs are more suitable for horseback and not for seating."

The emperor suddenly realized. "Liang Xiao, but that's the case?"

Liang Xiao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise and knowledgeable. I am very knowledgeable. I have no knowledge at first, but now I am more like a barbarian. This... is really rude."

The emperor nodded and said generously: "It's not your fault. In the battle on the battlefield, life and death are only between the front lines, and we really don't care too much. However, now that you are back, you should pay attention to what you should pay attention to. Otherwise, I can't protect you even if I write to the Censor."

Liang Xiao quickly thanked him, sat down properly, and talked about his journey to the Western Regions. He did everything in detail, almost telling all the stories one by one. Even the matter of Princess Luo Xuli of Dayuan was revealed, only the matter in the temple was not mentioned.

He said so in detail that the emperor was surprised. The ministers had never responded to him in detail as Liang Xiao. However, on the one hand, Liang Xiao said it interestingly, and on the other hand, he also knew that Liang Xiao had little reading and rough etiquette, and did not know how the monarch and minister should deal with it, so he did not blame him.

After more than two hours, Liang Xiao finished speaking, he leaned on the ground, kowtowed and apologized for his guilt, and relaxed his calves. During this half day, he had changed his posture many times. "I am crazy and ignorant, and I have lost my body. I would like to ask Your Majesty to surrender my crime."

The emperor turned to Wang Hui. "The Great Promise Order, according to you, what crimes are Liang Xiao guilty?"

Wang Hui was also frightened. Liang Xiao not only got a top-notch Dayuan horse, but also got the Dayuan princess. He was so brave, not to mention that he agreed to make profits for those merchants without the permission of the emperor. If he really wanted to discuss it, any one would be enough for him.

"Your Majesty, Liang Xiao committed at least three crimes: one was to receive a lot of money from the Hu people; two was to use superior good horses; three were to communicate with the vassal states."

The emperor withdrew his gaze, looked at Liang Xiao, and tilted his mouth. "Do you admit your guilt?"

Liang Xiao couldn't get up, feeling very aggrieved, but he had to give in. "I feel that Daxing Order has the heart of an elder, and he is already extremely generous to me, so how dare I not admit it?"

The emperor raised the corner of his mouth and laughed: "What do you mean? Do you mean that if I ask you about other culprits, I will not be kind enough?"

"I dare not."

"You still know the importance of it." The emperor said, "Get up. Although there are many problems, I am eager to follow the power. If I don't do this, how can I have the situation today? How can I make Yuezhi and Dayuan surrender to my great man one after another? Speaking of which, you still have made contributions."

Mei Gao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Liang Xiao's behavior was actually recognized by the emperor and passed the hurdle. He secretly glanced at Han Yan, but saw that Han Yan was silent. His face was as normal, and his heart that had just been relieved couldn't help but raise it again.

Liang Xiao stood up and sat back. When his butt touched his heel, Liang Xiao suddenly said "oh" and fell to the ground, stroking his hands with his calves, showing pain on his face.

The emperor was surprised: "What's wrong?"

Liang Xiao's face was twisted. "Your Majesty forgives your crime. I haven't kneeled down for a long time, and my calf has lost consciousness."

The emperor was about to speak, but Wang Hui also said, "Your Majesty, he has been talking for too long, and my legs are a little uncontrollable." After hearing this, the emperor realized that Liang Xiao had been talking for too long, and his own legs could not stand it.

"Haha. Come on, sit on the desk and feel more comfortable." The emperor said. He leaned against the imperial desk first, tilted his body, and released his legs. Liang Xiao and Wang Hui looked at each other, and followed suit and sat on the imperial desk. Wang Hui was quite proud. Being able to sit in such a casual posture in front of the emperor means that the emperor is in a good mood now. He, the person who recommended Liang Xiao to serve as an envoy, is also a meritorious minister.

Mei Gao breathed a sigh of relief again. However, Han Yan sucked the corners of her eyes, revealing a little uneasiness.

The emperor supported his elbow on the table and thoughtfully. "So, the messenger who came to Chang'an with you was not just from Dayuan."

"Your Majesty said very much. When I met Li Shuyun and Li was in power, I heard that Your Majesty transferred General Li to the prefect of Longxi, so I was smart and thought Hexi could be defeated. So I gathered the countries on the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and asked them to send envoys and hostages to Chang'an. When I arrived in Hexi, I met the Xiaoyuezhi people, and I realized that Hexi was still in the hands of the Huns. I had no choice but to send them back. I was at a loss and insulted the prestige of the country. I asked Your Majesty to punish him."

"This is not your fault." The emperor wanted to speak but stopped, and his eyes were full of regret. "General Li... did send troops to Hexi, but the old ministers in the court thought that he had privately invested knights, which violated the court's laws and regulations, and provoked war without authorization, destroying the marriage, which was more than merit, so..."

Liang Xiao didn't say a word. Now he doesn't need to say anything else.

The reason why he explained the story in such a detail was that he had to appear sincere and not allow others to have the chance to slander him. The second was that he wanted to be unfair for Li Guang. His combat function in the Western Regions could not be counted, and it is hard to say now. Li Guang's military achievements in conquering the Xiu Tu team were real. If Li Guang could not be rehabilitated, then it would be difficult for him to be a marquis to be a marquis and the credits of the famous general Li Guang could be erased at will. What is Liang Xiao?

Moreover, as Li Guang's former subordinate, if he did not speak for Li Guang, he would inevitably be despised by his colleagues in the future. Many of the Langguan officials in and outside the palace were fans of Li Guang, and every word he said now may be heard by Weiyang Langs in the future.

Liang Xiao cannot sit idly by and watch both public and private.

However, it is not too direct to the unfairness of Li Guang. The emperor is a person with good face. If he feels suspicious of persecution, even if he succeeds this time, he will leave grudges in the future. The best way is to let the emperor taste the benefits and take the initiative to correct his mistakes.

What is the emperor most eager for now? Of course, it is to unite the Western Regions and cut off the right arm of the Huns. Envoys from many countries in the Western Regions came to court, but they had to turn back because of the court's decision. All the countries came to court and became a country. The emperor didn't know how much regret it.

The emperor did not say anything again. After a change of tone, he mentioned the unresolved marriage.

"Liang Xiao, what do you think of marriage?"

Liang Xiao was silent for a moment. "Your Majesty, I want to tell the story of Aruikan, the Wusun clan."

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised. Wang Hui coughed: "Liang Xiao, Your Majesty asks, you will answer directly, why bother to talk about him?"

Liang Xiao bowed and bowed. "The Great Enforcement Order, the so-called stones from other mountains, may be attacked by jade. The Aruikan I mentioned was actually a marriage of marriage. However, there are subtle differences between the Huns and the marriage of our dynasty."

The emperor waved his hand and interrupted Wang Hui. "Let's listen, let's see how the Huns married."—
