As soon as he heard Dou Ying's words, Liang Xiao knew what Dou Ying wanted to say

Dou Ying has been in a very frustrated recently.

People cannot bear loneliness, especially those who have been glorious. After all, it is just a state that a few people can reach, and most people will have a serious sense of loss. The higher the position they have reached, the more serious the sense of loss.

Dou Ying, who was once the prime minister, undoubtedly felt very disappointed. Moreover, he was not a person who was willing to be lonely, so it was obviously unrealistic to make him live a life willingly. Liang Xiao heard from Liu Ling that Dou Ying had taken the initiative to ask for cooperation, but she refused.

Liu Ling was unwilling to cooperate with Dou Ying. On the one hand, the research project was too sensitive and could easily be linked to Queen Chen. On the other hand, Dou Ying's identity was too special. Working with him might arouse the emperor's alertness.

The Empress Dowager, who spanned the three eras of Wen, Jing and Wu for more than 40 years, was a representative of the relatives of the Dou family. The Dou family was very powerful. The word Dou was gently described in history books, and was often ignored by future generations. In fact, as for the present, even if the Wang family and Tian family rose rapidly due to the support of the Empress Dowager, the power of the Dou family should not be underestimated.

The conflict between Dou Ying and Tian Fen is actually a fierce confrontation between two generations of foreign relatives.

If the historical records are correct, Dou Ying still has a killer move. Otherwise, he would not be so confident. Although Dou Ying was arrogant, after all, he had been an official in the court for more than 30 years, it was impossible not to know how unwise it was to fight with the family of the empress dowager of the dynasty, and it was even more impossible not to know what the consequences of forgery of the edict were.

In Liang Xiao's plan, Dou Ying was an important part. He knew that Dou Ying's prestige among all Dou Dou was unmatched, and even in the mind of the emperor, Dou Ying also had a very important position. It was only because of the suppression of the Queen Mother that he could not let go of Dou Ying.

However, letting Dou Ying, as the representative of the wilderness, check and balance the relatives of the Wang family headed by Tian Fen, is the only choice for the emperor. If not, when the unemployed Dou Ying clashes fiercely with Tian Fen, who is the prime minister, why should the emperor be so embarrassed?

Liang Xiao also wanted to take advantage of Dou Ying's reputation, but he could not join forces with Dou Ying, otherwise he would definitely backfire.

"Wei Qihou is so serious. I dare not take it." Liang Xiao pretended not to understand, with a look of admiration on his face. "What is Wei Qihou busy with recently?"

Dou Ying smiled and turned around and took out a bamboo slip from the table. "These are some words I wrote, so please check it out."

Liang Xiao was a big knight. Dou Ying was both literary and martial. He was not qualified to evaluate what he wrote. He took it respectfully. He took it respectfully. He saw the words behind the first bamboo slip and was stunned for a moment.

"Addition to the Battle of Henan?"

"These are some of my opinions on the Battle of Henan. Liang Junhou is a witness to the war. Can you give me some suggestions?"

Liang Xiao sent the bamboo slips back and chuckled softly: "Marquis Wei Qi came to be a general and a prime minister. He is a famous minister in my dynasty. He is knowledgeable and experienced. I don't think even the emperor will take a look at your opinion. How dare you argue? But..."

"But what?"

"The Battle of Henan has ended, and the court has also made a detailed analysis. Even if Wei Qihou's opinion is in every word, it may not be eye-catching." Liang Xiao blinked his eyes and looked at Dou Ying with a look of loss on his face, and then said: "Wei Qihou wants to make a shocking argument, so he may have to put in some more effort."

Dou Ying stroked his beard and pondered for a long time. He spent a lot of effort to write this analysis article on the Battle of Henan, in order to attract the attention of the court and the public, and remind the emperor of him, an old minister who was a general and a prime minister. He asked Liang Xiao to see it because Liang Xiao was not only an eyewitness, but also a favorite minister in front of the emperor. If Liang Xiao was satisfied, this article would be easier to spread to the emperor.

However, Liang Xiao didn't even look at it and refused directly.

However, Liang Xiao's words reminded him at once. To be an opinion leader, you must not follow the crowd and have unique features.

How can I have a unique feature? Dou Ying couldn't find the direction for a while.

"June, how should I put in my effort?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "Wei Qihou is a senior, and he is well-educated in Confucianism and Taoism. How dare I show off in front of you? However, the boy has some suspicious views and dares to ask Wei Qihou for advice, and ask Wei Qihou not to laugh."

Dou Ying was overjoyed. Liang Xiao said humbly, but it was definitely a good plan to solve his current predicament. "Your Majesty doesn't have to be humble, it's okay to just say it."

"The boy has never read any books, but he has a little understanding of the Tao. In my opinion, the Tao has its authenticity. If you don't distinguish it, you will inevitably be confused by words."

Dou Ying nodded repeatedly. "Yes, there are too many people showing off these days."

"So, how can we distinguish between true and false? It's actually very simple..." Liang Xiao raised a finger. "Practice."

"practice?"

"Yes, practice is the only criterion for testing the way." Liang Xiao grinned. He felt accomplished when he could say such pretentious words in front of an old noble like Dou Ying. "For example, you can explain the technique of hardness and softness in a few words, or you can quote the classics, and you can say thousands of words in the final analysis, but in the final analysis, you still have to use a made sword to speak, don't you?"

Before Dou Ying could speak, Chen Xi could no longer bear it and took the initiative to endorse Liang Xiao. "That's right, saying a thousand and saying ten thousand is worse than a good sword." As he said that, he took the new sword and pulled it out all at once, but found that it was only half. Then he remembered that the new sword was cut into two pieces by Liang Xiao, and his face turned red and he was extremely embarrassed.

"What's going on?" Princess Guantao was shocked. She knew very well how sharp this new sword was, otherwise she wouldn't have asked brother Chen Xu to invite Liang Xiao.

"Although this sword cannot be called the most good, it is enough to show that the two Chen Jun's efforts are right. In time, they will be able to make a famous sword that is as sharp as mud." Liang Xiao took the half of the sword from Chen Xiang and gently placed it in front of Dou Ying. "If Wei Qihou helps His Majesty, he will win the battle and win the attack. Even if he only talks, he will be able to look down on the world. What is the point of the three strategies of heaven and man?"

Dou Ying's brows moved, thinking. Liang Xiao compared Dong Zhongshu's three strategies of heaven and man to show him the direction. The three strategies of heaven and man were very famous in later generations, but now they are still just a countermeasure. No one can say whether they can be implemented. The opinions Liang Xiao gave him were real. How can he provide tangible help to the emperor? Why worry about losing his reputation?

There are two common habits when doing academic research: one is to recite the ancients, as Liang Xiao said, citing scriptures and writing in a thousand words. The other is that it is easy to talk big, although the words are beautiful, there is no practical content. Liang Xiao suggested that he look forward and pay attention to practical issues. This is undoubtedly a unique way and unique insight.

Dou Ying was a smart man. He quickly understood what Liang Xiao meant. He was happy in his heart, bowed and bowed to the end. "Thank you, marquis."

Liang Xiao quickly returned the gift. Dou Ying was a senior, so he didn't dare to accept such a big gift. "Mr. Wei Qi, you are so killing a boy."

"I heard the truth in the morning and died in the evening. Even though the infant is old and old, he will be ashamed of himself. The king should receive this ceremony."

The old and the young were humble several times. When Princess Guantao saw it, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, don't be humble to each other. One is a senior hero and the other is a young hero. It's a blessing to appreciate each other. If you have anything to say, just drink and talk."

Princess Guantao held a banquet to entertain Liang Xiao and Dou Ying, and the Chen brothers accompanied them. At the table, they chatted around from all over the world, but Liang Xiao refused Dou Ying's request for alliance. He said that gentlemen are not a party, but are harmonious but different, there is too much to do, and there is no need for everyone to squeeze in one field. They should show their strengths, bloom all kinds of flowers, and work together for the court.

Dou Ying understood it and never mentioned the word "alliance".

After seeing Liang Xiao away, Dou Ying did not leave immediately. He discussed with Princess Guantao again.

It is true that he is the leader of Zhu Dou, but the one who has the most hope of maintaining wealth now is Princess Guantao. As long as Empress Chen is in power for one day, the Chen family will not have any problems. If the sisters can give birth to a prince, the Chen family's status will be stronger.

At this time, Dou Ying certainly could not leave Princess Tao of Guanyu and do his own thing.

Princess Guantao also wanted to use Dou Ying's reputation. She asked the Chen Xu brothers to study iron smelting techniques. At first, it was just a cover to let the emperor see that the Chen family had the intention to serve the court. Now the Chen Xu brothers have created a sharper sword and have seen hope of success. She realized that the Chen family could not only gain a false reputation, but also gain unimaginable real benefits.

This can completely turn into an industry with abundant wealth.

After all, she is a woman, greedy for money, but she can't make money. She has to listen to Dou Ying's opinion on how to manage it.

The two of them took their own needs and naturally formed an alliance.

Chen Xu made a suggestion in time: The Chen family and Dou family have many children who do nothing all day long and cause trouble. It is better to choose some people to go out and travel to increase their knowledge. How did Liang Xiao’s iron smelting technique come from? It was heard from the Western Regions. He can get so much gains by himself. Our Chen family and Dou family have hundreds of children. Can’t we do better than him?

Princess Guantao was very satisfied. She felt that Chen Xu had grown up so old and said such insightful words for the first time.

Dou Ying also thought it made sense. For the sake of the interests of the Wang family and the Tian family, it is inevitable that the Queen Mother Wang suppressed Dou. Since the career of the government is difficult, it may be a good choice to let these boys go out for a trip. They are rich and leisurely, and young and energetic. If they don’t go out to make trouble, they will only cause trouble in Chang'an.

"I'll talk about this." Dou Ying said: "However, you can't get up early without any profit. To let those kids go out willingly, you may need to show up and be a role model."

Chen Xu, Chen Xiong couldn't ask for it, so he agreed immediately.

Seeing that Dou Ying was going to take his two incompetent sons as role models, Princess Guantao was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. These two people were so old that they had never given her a face like today.

"White Qihou, can they... do it?"

"What did Liang Xiao say? Practice is the only standard for proving the way. They bought the technique of softness and hardness with a lot of money to create a sharper sword. What a unique vision? The Chen and Dou family have countless young men. Who can surpass them? No need to have many people, and there are a few people who can be as promising as them. Who dares to underestimate our Chen family and Dou family?"

Princess Guantao laughed with relief. ——
