After seeing Liu Ling away, Liang Xiao returned to the house and came straight to find Huan Yuan.

Every time after a war, Liang Xiao had to review the gains and losses. On the battlefield, the opponent he discussed was sometimes Li Guang, Li Xi and others, sometimes Xie Guanglong, Alexander and others. When he returned home, he only had one opponent: Master Huan Yuan.

Huan Yuan was not famous, but Huan Yuan's strategic and tactical qualities were outstanding. At this point, as far as Liang Xiao knew, it was rare in the world. Emperor Wu of Han was famous in later generations as a strategist with outstanding overall perspective, but now he has not reached that level.

Liang Xiao carefully talked about the war, and while talking, he painted the grassland and explained the terrain near Henan.

Huan Yuan hugged his legs, listened quietly, and asked from time to time.

The master and apprentice said something, and I said something, looking at each other from time to time, showing a knowing smile.

"Cheng Wuzhi has made merits, but it is difficult to reward." Huan Yuan finally sighed softly: "No matter what, his beheading level is limited. Even if the court favors him, it may only be symbolic. After all, there is a successful method, and no one can easily break it. Once this example is opened, the evaluation of military achievements will be the emperor's one-man rule. I think even Cheng Wuzhi would not want to see this scene."

Liang Xiao nodded. He also had this feeling. The military merit system that judges merit by beheading is like the college entrance examination system that determines victory or defeat by scores. There are many problems and countless criticisms, but so far, you really can't find a better alternative.

"You are grateful to Cheng Buzhi, so you can thank him privately. If he hadn't dragged the Youxian King, you would not have succeeded."

"Well, I understand." Liang Xiao responded. He had already asked Cheng Bushi's subordinates, knowing that the reason why the Youxian King was late in the middle of the night was entirely due to Cheng Bushi's risk attack. If it weren't for this, he would not only not have the chance to burn the second camp, but also be surrounded by the 20,000 army led by the Youxian King, and the consequences were unpredictable.

"That... Master, the emperor may have guessed the origin of that military strategy." Liang Xiao said in detail. "I think it is my honor to be able to inherit King Xiang's military strategy and martial arts. There is no need to hide it. If someone asks you again, you might as well speak out."

Huan Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Liang Xiao for a moment. "Is the emperor embarrassed you?"

"Without King Xiang's military strategy, he would make things difficult for me. This is just giving him an excuse." Liang Xiao smiled frankly and said, "Since that's the case, we might as well take this opportunity to untie the knot so that no one would always talk about this matter. Even if he doesn't give me a free seal this time, my fief of one thousand eight hundred households is enough. I dare to marry Liu Ling, but I dare not admit King Xiang's military strategy?"

Huan Yuan was silent for a moment and smiled. "Okay! Since you have said this to this point, I won't stop you. If you know Xiang Wangquan, you should be pleased to have a descendant like you."

"Master, do you and Uncle Zhongli have any relatives? I will go back to Jiangdu this time and bring them to Chang'an."

Huan Yuan was silent for a long time, his eyes full of sadness. "No more, no more. I am alone, and he is alone."

"Master, why are there not one?" Liang Xiao bowed to the ground and bowed. "Master, you still have me and Niu'er."

Huan Yuan laughed, tears flashing in his eyes.

Outside the house, Zhong Liqi covered his face and tears flowed.

Liang Xiao came to Mama Liang's house. Mama Liang and Li Rongqing were talking. Mama Liang looked serious and Li Rongqing's eyes were red. Alpa stood aside and saw Liang Xiao coming in and handed a look.

Liang Xiao understood and pretended not to know, and went forward to salute.

"Sit." Seeing his son, Mama Liang was in a good mood. Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Rongqing, go and prepare, and wait for A Xiao to bed later."

"Here." Li Rongqing responded, blushed, and stood up and left.

Liang Xiao smiled and said nothing. He knew that although I didn't help Li Rongqing, he liked Li Rongqing the most and always protected her. In contrast, if the moon had not been pregnant one after another, he would have been called a maid. In the eyes of the Han people, Hu Nu was a natural slave.

"My mother, there is something I want to ask you."

"What's up?"

"Do you still remember what you said to me when you came to the palace to meet the queen last time and came back?"

Mama Liang thought for a while. "Remember. Didn't you disagree at that time? Why did you ask this again now?"

"Mother, the queen has asked me to deal with this matter sooner or later. Mother, think about it again. With your experience, the emperor..." Liang Xiao hesitated for a moment, subconsciously lowered his voice. "Do you have the appearance of many sons?"

Mama Liang was stunned for a moment, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes. "A Xiao, what do you mean?"

Liang Xiao smiled. The reason why he asked this question was because he read a similar spoof article in his previous life. The article said that it was not the queen who was infertile, but the emperor. The emperor's sons were actually not his biological sons, so the concubines who gave birth to children for him died in an accident in the end. The six sons and five died early, and most of the daughters ended up not good.

Of course, Liang Xiao would not believe such legends easily, but at this moment, if he wants to solve the mystery of the queen's infertility, he cannot let go of a clue. Sometimes, the seemingly unreliable theories may be the truth. Who can tell the truth about the matter in the palace?

"It shouldn't be." Liang Mama recalled carefully. "Although I am not a minister, the emperor's atrium is full, full of energy and full of spirit, not like a person with little blessing. What I have to worry about is that there are too many women in the palace, and his excessive indulgence will affect his offspring. Men are cows, women are land, only cows that are exhausted and not plowed. The emperor is also a human, not a god."

Liang Xiao thought about it and felt it was reasonable. He asked again: "Has my mother ever heard someone say that getting married seriously will affect the child?"

Mama Liang pondered for a while and felt enlightened. "Although I have never heard of such a truth, I have indeed seen many relatives who are dependent on them. Although I have never heard of them, there are several children who have dementia. Why, this... has an impact?"

Liang Xiao had an idea in his mind. He knew that the possibility of fetal malformations in marriage between close relatives is greater than that of ordinary people. He was not sure whether it would lead to infertility, but it didn't matter. He could ask Liu Ling to arrange someone to conduct a survey. The Han Dynasty emphasized relatives, which is commonly known as the relatives, the number of aunts and aunts was countless, and there were many nobles in Chang'an. These families had more marriages with each other and had enough samples. It was not difficult to find the truth as long as they took some time.

If it is confirmed that Empress Chen’s infertility is not the problem of Empress Chen, then the emperor will depose the queen, then he has to consider it.

Of course, the premise is to keep Queen Chen away from the witch. She was eventually deposed, and the witchcraft played a greater role.

Before returning to her room, Liang Xiao went to see the moon again. Yue Liang was pregnant and had already shown her conceit and was inconvenient. She did not show up during the Liang family dinner. At this moment, she was very excited to see Liang Xiao, holding Liang Xiao's arm and muttering.

"How are you doing lately?"

"Apart from not being able to ride a horse, everything is fine." Yueliang said with a smile: "I am so happy with them with me, as if I were back to the grassland."

Liang Xiao looked at Beta and Xiya. Because of the shadow left by the sacrifice of Sigma, this time he went on a war, he did not take their three sisters, but stayed at home. Alpha was very considerate in dealing with people and was kept by my mother to serve him. Beta and Xiya became the maid of the moon. They were about the same age and were both Hu people in the eyes of Han people. They had common language and were easy to get along with.

"Don't worry about riding a horse. When I come back from Jiangdu, I will take you to ride. Then I will find you a good horse in Dayuan, and it's called Yueliang, okay?"

"Really?" The moon's eyes lit up, and they shone like stars.

"When did I lied to you?" Liang Xiao pinched Yueliang's little face.

"That's great." Yueliang jumped up, hugged Liang Xiao, and kissed her hard. Although she was pregnant, she still jumped out of her agility.

After talking to Yueliang and others for a while, Liang Xiao returned to his room. Li Rongqing was already waiting. Liang Xiao looked at her and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was trying to do something about other people, but he forgot that there was another person in his family who was looking forward to the child and going crazy.

Li Rongqing came up, loosened Liang Xiao's clothes, brought him wash water, and served Liang Xiao to wash. She was busy and was obviously nervous. Liang Xiao felt a little reluctant when he saw him. When Li Rongqing got into the quilt, he stretched out his arm, hugged Li Rongqing in his arms, and talked about family matters.

"Rongqing, did you go back to Jiangdu smoothly?"

"Uh..." Li Rongqing was stunned for a moment, relaxed his tense body a little, and a smile appeared on his face. "It went smoothly, so smoothly. The old neighbors in Qingyun were so enthusiastic. Do you know that our courtyard has become a community, and there is a pavilion built on Qianqiu, which was also a ceremony hosted by the Prime Minister Dong Zhongshu himself."

"Dong Zhongshu?" Liang Xiao then remembered that Dong Zhongshu is now the prime minister of Jiangdu. He suddenly thought of a question: The emperor asked me to escort Liu Fei's coffin back to Jiangdu, probably not just because I had some friendship with Liu Fei? Did he want to send me to Dong Zhongshu again for education?

Liang Xiao rolled his eyes and asked again: "How is Dong Zhongshu's voice in Jiangdu?"

"He..." Li Rongqing laughed, as if she had thought of something particularly cola. "It's okay to say anything else, the witches and gods don't have a good impression of him. Grandma Chu also specially brought two chickens to beg her mother, wanting you to make a statement in front of the emperor and transfer Dong Zhongshu away."

Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing out loud. Grandma Chu, he still had the impression that it was the old witch who treated him. He brought a chicken to thank Grandma Chu, but now Grandma Chu brought two chickens to beg me. I must have a sense of accomplishment, right? In ordinary families, a chicken is a great gift, let alone two chickens.

"Why is Dong Zhongshu intruding them?"

Li Rongqing smiled with a smile on her face. "Dong Zhongshu would ask for rain, rob their jobs, and cut off their financial path."

"Dong Zhongshu... ask for rain?" Liang Xiao was stunned for a while and suddenly realized. He remembered that this great scholar who made great contributions to Confucianism could not only teach, but also ask for rain. His masterpiece "Spring and Autumn Dew" includes two articles "Seeking for Rain" and "Stop Rain", which records the rain-seeking order he issued when he was the prime minister of Jiangdu. --
