Although Liu An had differences in ideas with the emperor, they had not broken up so far. The emperor respected Liu An as a uncle Wang and admired his talent. Liu An also acted like an elder who was tempted by inducing himself. As soon as the new book came out, he rushed to the emperor. Even if he gave advice, he was courteous and honest and never blushed.

Today, Liu An took the initiative to help, and the emperor was even happier. The two spoke intimately, and the people next to him felt comfortable watching.

Liu An mentioned Liu Ling's hard work in improving Liu Li. He complained that Liu Ling was bewitched and wasted a lot of money on Liu Li. Now he realized that he was too scholarly. He compiled a book worth hundreds of thousands of words, but the money spent was many times as much as that of developing a Qianliyan, but his effect was not as real as a Qianliyan. He decided to change his mind and add investment in the research of Taoism, and strive to develop more practical things like Qianliyan to help His Majesty.

The emperor was very satisfied. After more than a month of development of the examination room, he was regretting it. Liu An was willing to invest, which was equivalent to giving him a step. Why don’t he do it? He heard Liu An complaining, and he comforted him a few words.

Liu An also said that he now has a willingness to compare the books in the Huainan Palace and the palace, and compare them with each other, and to make a proofreading of ancient books. Since the imperial court eliminated the rules of writing, more and more ancient books have appeared. It is difficult for scholars to distinguish the authenticity of the truth and falsehood. They have all been determined to forge them, and even deliberately forge them, placing the names of the ancients. He is willing to use his life to proofread books and leave some credible classics for the world, so as not to be mistaken.

The emperor pondered for a long time, but did not agree immediately. He knew that Liu An was referring to something. The so-called deliberate forgery and the devilish words of the ancients were probably referring to Dong Zhongshu. However, he could not refuse. First, Liu An's reasons were very legitimate, and second, Liu An had just given him a thousand eyes, so he could not help but give Liu An face.

Besides, with Liu An's profound academic cultivation and the rich collection of books in the Huainan Prince's Mansion, even if the emperor does not agree, he can do it himself.

The emperor said vaguely and studied it again, and then changed the topic. He talked about Huangbai's art with Liu An. Liu An once offered a letter to the emperor and specifically talked about Huangbai's art. The two of them had a common language in this regard.

After talking for a long time, he saw Liu An away. The emperor looked at the box full of Qianli's eyes and was overjoyed. ┝═┝0..

"You said. Should I agree to the King of Huainan to proofread the book?"

Yan Zhu and King Qiu Shou expressed their opinions, some agreed, and some opposed it, and they could not argue. Liang Xiao didn't say anything, picked up the Climate Eyes and tried them one by one. These Climate Eyes should be improved products, which are much better than the Climate Eyes in his hands. Although the image still has some deformations, the outline can basically be seen clearly.

"Liang Xiao, what do you think?"

Liang Xiao put down his eyes and bowed to salute. "Your Majesty. I think things are good, but they should not be implemented at the moment."

The emperor was very surprised. In his opinion, Liang Xiao was so close to the Master of Huainan, and he should support the King of Huainan. "Why?"

"Proofreading books does help distinguish the authenticity and to look at the sound of the truth. However, what the ancients said was only a reference after all, and real knowledge still needs to be derived from reality. For example, the minister..."

"Haha..." The emperor couldn't help laughing, turned around and said, "I want to use his archery art as an analogy again."

Yan Zhu also smiled and said, "Your Majesty. Liang Junhou is a martial artist, and his ability to make achievements is his ability to make achievements, so he naturally has to mention it."

Everyone laughed. Liang Xiao didn't care, and continued, "I think the key to practicing archery is to persevere. If you observe but don't practice, and only have good writing, even if you can memorize all the archery skills of the ancients, what can you do?"

The emperor was slightly shivering. He understood what Liang Xiao meant. Although Tao is important, skills are even more indispensable. To solve practical problems, you must focus your energy on it. Proofreading books is a major event. It also consumes a lot of resources. When the war against the Huns is about to begin, it is indeed not advisable to spend too much energy on these matters.

If the King of Huainan is willing to do it, then let him do it. The court can ask him to check books, but he cannot preside over it with great fanfare.

"How is your recent progress in your knowledge?"

"I practice shooting skills day and night, so how can I have time to study?" Liang Xiao scratched his head. "Please give me another three or five years to defeat the main force of the Huns, open up the Western Regions, and be granted the title of Marquis of Wanhu, and come back to study. At that time, I had not yet established and I still have a lot of time to study."

"You..." The emperor shook his head helplessly. "Okay, I'll give you another three to five years. I hope that by then, you won't find any other reason to shirk. If you don't study, you will be a martial artist after all, and you will be a heavy and hard-earned person, and it will be difficult to take on a great responsibility."

Liang Xiao was overjoyed and quickly agreed. "Yes!"

——

Although the emperor did not agree with Liu An's proposal to proofread the book, Liu An was still very energetic. He proposed to the kings, asking the kings to devote themselves to their knowledge and do something within their ability to share the worries of the court. The purpose of the court's enfeoffment of the kings was to share the worries of the court and guard the royal family. Those who were on the border could provide soldiers and weapons, and those who were not on the border could do something. If they were not helped, it would be good to donate some money and food.

The kings responded differently. Some volunteered and were willing to lead the warriors to join the army to kill the enemy, such as Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu; some donated money and materials, such as Liu De, the king of Hejian; but more of them pretended to be deaf and dumb and said nothing.

However, the emperor was very satisfied with Liu An's attitude, and his favorability rose sharply. He issued an edict to reward Zengyi and gave him a few sticks, which was particularly favored. Liu An was in the limelight for a while, and the guests in Huainan residence were full of guests, which was enough to compete with Guangchuan residence.

A battle without gunpowder began.

From the beginning, Dong Zhongshu was at a disadvantage. In terms of identity, he was not as noble as Liu An. In terms of strength, he was just a scholar, and he could not compare with the powerful King of Huainan. In terms of the knowledge he was best at, he had no advantage at all, at most he was equal.

However, what made Dong Zhongshu feel glad that although Liu An was very famous, he was abnormal in governing the country and kept silent. On the contrary, he talked about some specific and minor issues such as arithmetic, museums, and even measuring the height of a building.

When Dong Zhongshu heard this, he was very dissatisfied, but he couldn't resist the rich and willful King of Huainan, and the hospitality was in place, and the wine and food were served openly. Even some Dong Zhongshu's disciples could not stand the temptation. In the name of inquiring about the news, they went to Huainan residence for several meetings and a slaughtering ceremony.

For a moment, Dong Zhongshu felt very cold.

Fortunately, the emperor did not give up on him and often summoned him to the palace to discuss matters. He talked for half a day. He also often rewarded some money, accepted his recommendation, and summoned a few of his disciples to the palace to be men. The career was expected, but Dong Zhongshu was finally defeated.

——

Three months passed in a flash, and the emperor issued an edict to appoint Dong Zhongshu as the prime minister of Jiangdu and immediately took office.

Liang Xiao also got rid of the chore of standing guard and returned to the palace to counsel the military.

Liang Xiao's family was in Maoling, and it was inconvenient to get along. In order to allow Liang Xiao to enter the palace at any time, the emperor gave a house, opposite the north gate of Weiyang Palace. Liang Xiao moved the whole family over and gave the original house to Tu Tian and his wife. Liang Mama was busy for a few more days and cleaned up the house. The house was too big and there were not enough staff, so Mamama bought some more slaves.

Moving into a new home was inevitable, and I received another gift.

Taking this opportunity, Mama Liang gave Liang Xiao a gift, indicating that Liang Xiao had officially become an adult, and his master Huan Yuan took the name Bo Ming.

According to Liang Xiao's original intention, the name Xiao is already very popular. It is not good to use the word "Ming" as the word "Ming". It is better to use a low-key character to hedge it, such as Zimo and others. However, his opinion was rejected by Liang Mama and Huan Yuan. They said that if a real man is alive, he must be famous and silent. If he really wants to silent, he might as well be a hermit in the mountains. Not only should he make a sound, but he should also make a sound, and his voice will shake the world. This is enough.

The character "Bo" represents both the eldest generation and the "Bo". Liang Xiao is the only son, and ranking is meaningless. Therefore, Liang Xiao thinks that Huan Yuan gave him this character on the one hand, which is a manifestation of his ambition, and on the other hand, it may also take the opportunity to miss the overlord Xiang Yu. No matter what, he is also a disciple of Xiang Yu.

One is my mother and the other is the master. Liang Xiao dared not refute it and had to admit it.

When he returned to the palace, Liang Xiao told the emperor about the words taking. After thinking for a long time, he thought Bo Ming was good. He said, "You are a young man and a martial artist, and you are a little scholarly. You are not as loud as Bo Ming." If you don't, you will make a big splash. It's just in line with the current situation and is a good omen."

The emperor also thought it was good, so Liang Xiao had to accept his fate. From then on, his surname was Liang and his courtesy name was Boming.

——

As time goes by, spring passes and summer arrives, the temperature in Chang'an is rising continuously, and the atmosphere in the palace becomes more and more tense.

Although the Han army was as hidden as possible, the Huns still heard the news. The military minister Shanyu also received the news that the Han Dynasty refused to marry, and was furious and disturbed the border many times. However, it was summer, the horse was not fat, and the combat effectiveness of the Huns was greatly reduced. The demonstration was more than the actual threat, and they were driven out by the Han army one after another.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the emperor simply tore off his disguise and officially announced a counterattack against the Huns.

The war machine started to re-enlist and transport troops across the country. Under the deliberate propaganda of the emperor, after several months of fermentation, the effect brought by Liang Xiao's example had a great impact. The rangers in Chang'an were greatly inspired and joined the army. Rangers from other places also rushed to the capital, especially in the Jianghuai area. King Liu Fei of Jiangdu sent nearly 10,000 swordsmen and heroes alone.

When the emperor learned that there were so many gossips in Jiangdu State, the emperor was both surprised and happy. What was surprised was that Liu Fei was so strong that he was happy that although Liu Fei was rough and fierce, he only wanted to fight, but he had no scheming and actually took the initiative to hand over these strengths.

After repeated discussions with Liang Xiao and others, the emperor approved Liu Fei's request and ordered him to arrive in Chang'an and go to the expedition with the Censor Han Anguo. After receiving the edict, Liu Fei led more than a hundred personal guards and rode day and night. It took only seven days to arrive in Chang'an.

At the end of July, Liang Xiao received an order and rushed to Longxi to serve as Li Guang, assisting Li Guang in pre-war preparations.
