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

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

The one who blocked Liang Xiao's way was a young man named Dong Yan. He was nominally the follower of Dou Taizhu, but in fact he was Dou Taizhu's little lover. It was hard for later generations to imagine how open the relationship between men and women in the Han Dynasty was. Dou Taizhu's husband Chen Wu was still alive, so Dou Taizhu kept Dong Yan openly. He didn't hear any criticism from the people, and Chen Wu himself said nothing.

Some people may say that this is because Guantao is noble, and Chen Wu can only pinch his nose, but it is not. If you want to say noble, who can be more noble than the emperor? When Liu Bang was still alive, Shen Shi was trusted by the queen Lu Zhi and had close contacts, and he didn't see Liu Bang say anything.

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

"Mr. Dong, I'm still in a hurry to go back to work as a commissioner. The master has something to do. Why don't you go to see me after I finish handing over the commissioner? "

Dong Yan felt a little embarrassed. "June, the Tailor has no other intentions. He just wanted to express his gratitude and did not need to waste too much time on June."

Liang Xiao laughed. "I understand the Tailor's meaning, and I did not deliberately avoid suspicion. However, it is indeed inconvenient to stay in the business. When I have to hand in my job and go to the mansion to apologize, I will definitely satisfy the Tailor and will never make things difficult for Mr. Dong."

Seeing Liang Xiao insisting, Dong Yan did not dare to force him, so he had to respond. Liang Xiao took two steps, suddenly stopped the horse and signaled Dong Yan to come over. Dong Yan did not dare to be negligent and rushed over.

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

Dong Yan was very embarrassed. "Yes, I wonder what the Lord and Hou had to give?"

"I dare not take the order, I just want to ask Dong Junyi." Liang Xiao ordered someone to lift Liang Yu's car curtain and reveal Liang Yu's pretty face. "This is my sister. I want to give her a few pairs of jewelry, but I haven't chosen the right one. Can Dong Jun help me see what kind of beads are more suitable for her?"

Dong Yan's heart moved and understood what Liang Xiao meant. This was asking for bribes. He looked at Liang Yu and praised him. "Junhou, Ling Mei is simply a national color. Ordinary jewelry is indeed difficult to highlight her beauty. Please let me allow me to choose some beads for her hand to prevent her from losing her beauty."

Liang Xiao laughed. Even if Liang Yu is not a national character, he is considered a first-class beauty. However, he asked Dong Yan to give Liang Yu a bead ornament, but he did not want to ask for bribes. With his financial resources, he could still afford a few pairs of jewelry. He wanted to use Princess Guantao's mouth to promote Liang Yu's reputation and start his plan.

He has already thought about this plan all the way and now it is time to start implementing it.

After saying goodbye to Dong Yan, Liang Xiao and others rushed to Chang'an City.

Dong Yan returned to Changmen Garden and reported to Princess Guantao. When she heard that Liang Xiao refused to attend the meeting, Princess Guantao was still a little angry. When Dong Yan said that Liang Xiao asked him to wear beads for his sister Liang Yu, she turned angry and happy.

She was not afraid of Liang Xiao asking for bribes, but was afraid that Liang Xiao would not accept gifts and kept a distance from her.

However, out of the sensitivity of a woman, Princess Guantao was still not at ease. Liang Xiao suddenly had an extra sister. And he was so beautiful, what did he want to do? Could it be that he was stimulated by Wei Qing's sudden rise and wanted to send a beautiful woman to the palace? It was already troublesome to have a Wei Zifu. If there was another one, wouldn't the queen be even more out of favor?

In the past, she had expected the queen to give birth to a child, but now the possibility of losing her child is becoming increasingly slim. Princess Guantao has to be careful. However, since Liang Xiao took the initiative to ask for bribes, it should not be unfavorable to Queen Chen.

Princess Guantao thought about it again and again and decided to pick a few good jewelry for Liang Xiao to send it to him. She would clarify Liang Xiao’s real intention as soon as possible.

After entering the Bacheng Gate, Liang Xiao followed the street and headed straight to Weiyang Palace. This street was more than ten miles long, with the area of ​​Changle Palace in the north and south. There were countless roads flying in the air. 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 would summon him.

Liang Xiao could refuse the others as official duties, but the Empress Dowager summoned him. This reason was not easy to use. Liang Xiao immediately stopped and asked Tu Niuer and others to wait outside the palace gate, and entered the palace to pay homage to the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother was accompanied by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, watching the cockfighting table. The two roosters were fighting in the field, their feathers scattered, blood splattered, and the battle was fierce. The audience was so nervous that they shouted loudly, the sound of the orioles, the sound of the swallows, screamed and laughed, and they mixed together.

Liang Xiao passed through the crowd and came to the Queen Mother and bowed to the emperor.

"Champion Hou, Cavalry Commander, Chen Xiao, pay homage to Empress Dowager Yu'an."

The Queen Mother smiled and slowly took her eyes off the cockfighting, glanced at Liang Xiao, and pointed to the cockfighting in the field. "Liang Xiao, you are a famous young hero in Chang'an. You have great military achievements and have killed the Huns to fear. I'm afraid that such a cockfighting will not be able to catch your eyes, right?"

Liang Xiao turned his eyes and said tentatively: "The Queen Mother, Chen Weishi was also a naughty boy, and he did a lot of stealing things."

"Hahaha..." The Queen Mother laughed. "Yes, I can't tell it very much. I thought you were a well-educated and polite person since childhood. I didn't expect that there were also bad times. Yes, no one was young and frivolous, just change it. Do you think? If Zheng brought you to justice at the time, today I would probably have lost one talent in my life."

Liang Xiao's heart moved, and understood the Queen Mother's meaning, and hurriedly said, "The Queen Mother is a mischievous praise, but I dare not be accused of it. When Zheng was the prime minister, he had many teachings. When my ministers are today, I rely on Zheng's care for him."

"Yes, sometimes, you can't be too strict with yourself." The Queen Mother said something. "Some things will pass by, so how are you okay?"

"How dare I not follow the teachings of the Queen Mother?"

"Very good." The Queen Mother Wang laughed. "You are a general person. In Jiangdu affairs, Your Majesty has sent Yan Assistant to investigate. You don't have to worry anymore. You should focus on major issues. Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of things and needs talent assistance like you."

The Queen Mother gave both kindness and power, how could Liang Xiao not understand? Originally, he didn't want to bother 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. In general, the Queen Mother had a good impression of him. Among his fiefs of 3,800 households, 800 were rewarded by the Queen Mother.

Yan Zhu went to Jiangdu? This was an accident. What the emperor was thinking was not even a sound. However, Zhu Maichen and Yan Zhu went to Jiangdu one after another. Wouldn't there be no one around the emperor? Haha, it was a god-given opportunity.

Liang Xiao left Yongle Palace and asked Tu Niuer and others to go home first, and then he rushed to Weiyang Palace to see the car. He entered the palace from the East Sima Gate and went straight to Chengming Palace. The emperor was busy. When he heard that Liang Xiao was back, he immediately ordered him to come in. After a few noises, the emperor went straight to the point.

"What's going on in Jiangdu?"

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

"I know this." The emperor waved his hand. "What else do 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, his face was a little unfavorable. "What did the Empress Dowager say to you."

"The Empress Dowager said that Your Majesty has made arrangements for Jiangdu affairs, so that I can help Your Majesty with all my heart."

"Hmph!" The emperor sneered twice, then glanced at Liang Xiao again. "You won't give up, right?"

Liang Xiao grinned his teeth, showing a hesitation look on his face. The emperor sneered and stared at Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, I have made enemies with the Prince of Jiangdu just out of a moment of righteous indignation, not because I have any indelible grudges with him. Now I have rescued the person who was abducted by Liu Jian, so I don't want to cause trouble again, so as not to say that I am taking personal revenge and making the matter misleading."

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

Liang Xiao looked very reluctant, and Zhizhi refused to say it. The more he did this, the more curious the emperor became, and finally used a trick of intimidation. Liang Xiao did his best to show off the whole story. He specifically mentioned that Liang Yu was originally planning to present it to King Lie Liu Fei, but instead mentioned Liu Jian's murder of Liang Jian killing Liang Feng.

For Liang Yu, Liang Feng is very important. But for the emperor, this is nothing at all. On the contrary, the fact that Liu Jian took his father and wife was more likely to stimulate him. This is no longer a matter of lust, it is unfilial, and it is escalation to the political level, which is disloyal.

For princes and kings, killing a few people is not a big problem. It is also tolerant and shameless, but it is fatal to be unfaithful and unfilial.

Liu Jian's actions obviously have touched the emperor's bottom line, which is much more serious than killing people.

The emperor thought for a moment, changed the topic actively, and raised his eyebrows. "You have missed a lot of excitement if you haven't been in Beijing these few months."

Liang Xiao smiled slightly. "Your Majesty, I have heard of some. However, I have never lacked liveliness."

The emperor laughed. "That's true. Wherever you go, it will be lively. How do you plan to play this time?"

"Uh..." Liang Xiao deliberately paused for a moment, and when the emperor couldn't help it, he said: "I want to go to Huainan to propose marriage and then hold a lively wedding."

"This is indeed a good idea." The emperor looked at Liang Xiao with a slight smile, with an indescribable tone. "One is the youngest marquis of the Han Dynasty, and the other is the most talented master in the royal family. You are really born a couple, and I don't know how many people you want to envy."

"I just want them to envy you." Liang Xiao pretended not to hear the uneasy in the emperor's tone. "I dared to ask Your Majesty to marry you."

"Me?" The emperor was both angry and funny. "This is no precedent."

"It doesn't matter whether there is a precedent. Your Majesty continues the past and has no precedent for many things you have to do. Your Majesty, I want to ask Your Majesty to marry because without His Majesty's support, I may not be able to do what I want. I am planning a plan. Once this plan is proposed, I am afraid that the King of Huainan will not only refuse to marry the Lord of the Man, but may also turn against me, even..." Liang Xiao shivered and showed a look of horror. "I will be the subject of thousands of people, and my body is incomplete."

The emperor is very surprised. "What plan will the consequences be so serious?"——
