Liang Xiao saw the excitement in the emperor's eyes and felt secretly happy. △↗,.

No matter how well you conceal it, the Yellow River breach is always a thorn in your heart. Whether it is the vague destiny or the real interests, it is destined that you must take it seriously. Controlling the river is an easy fulcrum, and it is the best choice for you to eat even if you know it is bait.

The emperor said more. Liang Xiao admitted that he didn't know, which made him remove a lot of vigilance. Liang Xiao proposed to gather the strength of Chen Dou's children and Dong Zhongshu, work together to work together to cure the rivers, and let him see the dual interests of real profit and reputation. The distance between him and Liang Xiao suddenly got closer. The two of them gathered around the bonfire, eating wild boar meat, and drinking fruit wine. You said, I said, and you chatted happily.

Late at night, a wild boar was eaten half and almost drunk. The emperor stood up with a burp, patted his round belly, his face full of oil. "I ate happily today, drank happily, and chatted even more happily. However, the government affairs were not over, so I can't continue chatting with you anymore."

"I'll escort Your Majesty back to the palace."

"You have your tent set up, why do you have to accompany me back to the palace? I have a man next to me and I am in the forbidden garden, so there will be no danger."

"The son of a thousand gold can't sit in the hall, let alone Your Majesty is the lord of the world. The forbidden garden is vast, not only are there wild animals, but there may also be hiding traitors. If you shock Your Majesty, how can I bear this responsibility? I'd better escort Your Majesty back to the palace in person."

The emperor did not refuse. "Okay, during the war, General Li's position as a doctor. It is really not safe to have no one like you around him. Although the men and officials are loyal and brave, they do not have the courage and craftsmanship of you."

Liang Xiao smiled, and asked Tu Niuer and others to clean up, while accompanying the emperor to the road. "Your Majesty, these men and women are all uncommon warriors, but they have few opportunities to go on the battlefield and have not gone through the test of life and death. If you really have the chance to go on the battlefield, it is unlikely that a few Wei Qings will be produced, and a few Li Shuyun will be produced, but Qin Ge is very normal."

"Is that true, what do you think of Qin Ge?"

"He was training troops in Yuzhang, and the Great Xing ordered Wang Hui and Guan Fu, the prefect of Yuzhang, praised him very much. Before I came, Guan Fu asked me to advise His Majesty and asked His Majesty to send him to Yuzhang to assist in the military affairs."

"Huanfu is training troops?"

"Guanfu is worried that the South Cross Country will not be in a state of decline, so he takes advantage of the troubles of the Central Plains and prepares for the future and strengthens his vigilance."

The emperor let out a sigh and nodded gently. He was indeed very worried about something happening in Nanyue now. Guan Fu was trained in Yuzhang and was more relieved. As long as Nanyue did not cause any major trouble, I believe Guan Fu could stop it and not affect the major things the court is doing now.

"Although Guan Fu is strong and fierce, he is loyal and brave."

"That's right. But he is not a good person, he bullies men and women, and he has not done anything to rampant in the countryside. When it is time to punish him, His Majesty still has to punish him. When I was in Yingchuan, I heard a nursery rhyme saying, "The Yingshui is clear, the Guan family is peaceful; the Yingshui is turbid, the Guan family is in a turbid, and the public is very angry."

The emperor laughed. "Are you afraid that Guan Fu will fight you when he hears your words?"

"I love him too, and I don't want him to really get to that point, to make His Majesty embarrassed and to make Guan's queen."

The two of them came to the road, and Qin Ge and others were waiting. When they saw the emperor coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to meet him. The emperor took the reins of the horse and turned over the horse. Liang Xiao also got on the two horses. The two walked side by side, joking softly while walking towards Ganquan Palace.

Qin Ge and others looked at each other, and shook their heads at the same time. This scene has been unseen for many years. In a trance, they seemed to see the young emperor who was suppressed by the Empress Dowager, doing nothing, and could only go out to hunt and enjoy the night.

Wei Qihou Mansion.

Dou Ying sat in the hall with a smile on his face. People kept coming over to say hello to him, including relatives and friends who had been in contact with him and old friends who had not been in contact for a long time. He greeted him with a smile, but he never stood up and just greeted him.

After so many years of ups and downs, he has recognized the appearance of these people. Today's enthusiasm is not due to respect for him, but fear of his influence. No matter how cold he is, as long as he can still get the emperor's respect, these people will not leave him. No matter how enthusiastic he treats each other, as long as the emperor neglects him, they will abandon him like a bad person.

So, there is no need for him to be too enthusiastic.

In the crowd, Chen Zhan walked in. As soon as he stepped into the hall, Chen Zhan showed a warm smile and bowed to him. "Mr. Dou, I came here uninvited, please forgive me."

"It's okay, everyone comes here is a guest." Dou Ying raised his eyebrows slightly. Chen Zhang was from the Wei family. When he suddenly came here, he was probably not just here to join in the enthusiasm, but probably a test sent by Princess Yang Xin. However, such things cannot be put on his face, so he still gave Chen Zhang a smile.

Chen Zhang took the seat and said a few gossips, gradually bringing the topic to the point. He came to ask for a meeting today, hoping to buy ten new books in hardcover. When Chen Dou's children's You Ji was released, it immediately became a hot item. Not only did men like to read it, but women in the boudoir love to read it even more. This book is not only easy to read, but can increase your experience when you read it, but it is also novel in binding. It is a rare to plaything. When women meet, they use this book as a reading material. If they have not read it, they feel a bit out of date.

After competing for the existence or not, the competition between them quickly became whether they own a simple or hardcover book. Lady people are not short of money. In order to fill in the storefront, they are willing to spend more than twice as much money to buy a hardcover book. However, the number of hardcover books is limited and they were quickly collected. Now only Dou Ying has a hardcover book in her hand.

"You want to buy ten copies?" Dou Ying was very curious.

"Mr. Dou doesn't know that the book you compiled is not only a masterpiece that everyone is rushing to read, but also the best gift for collecting and giving to others. It is both valuable and not vulgar, but it is very popular. I guess it will increase value soon, so I want to buy a few more, collect some, and give to others. Hahaha..."

Dou Ying smiled. "The hardcover books are printed too few, and I only have four or five left on my hand. I'm afraid I can't get you as you wish. However, you don't have to worry. I have sent someone to Huainan to ask the King of Huainan to prepare another thousand pieces. This time there are many hardcover books, so you will definitely meet your requirements first."

"That's great." Chen Zhan thanked a few words and mentioned another topic. "I heard that the court praised Dou Gong's actions very much and had already booked the next book. Is there any such thing?"

When Dou Ying heard this, he knew that the real content was coming. After reading the new book he submitted, the emperor praised him very much and asked him to adjust the next travel content to the river bank, cooperate with the history of the changes of the river compiled by Dong Zhongshu, and inspect the geography and hydrology on both sides of the river to prepare for the cure of river disasters.

As soon as the news came out, the wealthy families in Chang'an were moved. River troubles are a major event, and it is not only practical but also political. The emperor gave Dou Ying such a heavy task, which is more symbolic than worshipping Dou Ying as a minister. Who wouldn't want to get a share of the pie? For a moment, they were divided into two factions, one came to practice with Dou Ying and wanted to make a name for it. The other faction was unwilling to let Dou Ying be good at beauty, so he urgently recruited people and prepared to compete with Dou Ying for merit.

Dou Ying couldn't figure out what Chen Zhan's purpose was, but he had discussed this with Liang Xiao before and was prepared for it. No matter which faction Chen Zhan was, he would not refuse.

The most urgent task at the moment is to let everyone take action, and prove their value while helping the court solve practical problems, and strive for opportunities to talk to the emperor. The more people can unite, the greater their strength, and the less the emperor dares to act willfully.

"This is indeed the case. Why, Chen Jun wants to do his best?"

"If Mr. Dou doesn't give up, he will do his best."

"Of course, that's great." Dou Ying smiled even happier. "However, traveling is not just a blip. It requires a lot of practical work. It is not only hard, but also a bit boring, and even dangerous. You must be mentally prepared."

Chen Zhanggong bowed. "Just asking for advice."

Dou Ying waved his hand and signaled the person to take a manuscript and spread it on the table. "Look, this is a mountain near Panyu, Nanyue. It seems simple, but there are only two or three small hills and several rivers. However, whether the direction of these hills is accurate, which one is higher or lower, and what the river water is moving must be carefully measured. It cannot be drawn with a glance at it or you can easily draw it."

Chen Zhang leaned closer and looked through it carefully. He had also seen this picture. As Dou Ying said, he thought it was just a schematic diagram, but he didn't expect there were so many things to pay attention to.

"The people's sentiment needs to be inquired from many ways to prove the reality and reality. Geography requires on-site exploration and repeated measurements. This time, it is to prepare for river management, and it is even more careless." Dou Ying put away the book and revealed a piece of information inadvertently. "I heard that Your Majesty intends to build an Imperial College to recruit talents from all over the world. Those with excellent academic performance can become doctors, and those with strong strength can enter the officialdom, which will be one of the ways to enter the officialdom in the future."

Chen Zhang's eyes rolled and immediately remembered the news.

After talking for a long time, Chen Zhan left Wei Qihou's Mansion with two hardcover books. He did not go home directly, but turned to Princess Yangxin's Mansion. After seeing Princess Yangxin, he presented two hardcover books and told Princess Yangxin the news he had inquired about.

Princess Yang Xin was skeptical. She also had eyes and ears in Chang'an, but she did not receive similar news. She didn't know if it was because her news was not very well-informed or if Dou Ying was lying to others.

Chen Zhang took on the role of a strategist in a timely manner. In his opinion, even if Dou Ying had an exaggerated meaning, this matter should be basically true. The river disaster is one of the most important things that the emperor is concerned about at the moment. The emperor has limited energy and cannot implement it personally. Arrangement of Dou Ying to do it and mobilize more people's strength should be a choice worth considering. Now when Cao Hou of Pingyang, Wei Qing, the Hou of Changping, went to war and made contributions, but Chen Dou had no foundation in the army. It was natural for them to make contributions in governing the river.

Princess Yang Xin felt it was reasonable and dared not neglect her. She didn't have to worry about anything, but the pressure on her mother was quite high. Although Tian Fu's position as prime minister was still there, she could not manage the government. Who knew that one day would be overtaken by Han Anguo? The top priority is that the Wang and Tian families must also take action and cannot wait for death.

Princess Yang Xin immediately entered the palace and told the Queen Mother the news. The Queen Mother also felt it was reasonable and immediately summoned Chen Zhang into the palace and appointed him as the Changle Shao Mansion. He also ordered him to stand up and recruit wise men to get a share of the matter of governing the country.

For a time, the nobles and relatives in Chang'an City fought openly and secretly, recruiting talents one after another. Some wrote books and some conducted on-site inspections and made suggestions.

Suddenly, the scholars who came from all over the country found that they had become popular and no longer had to worry about food, accommodation and other things.

Shiqu Pavilion.

Master Dong looked at Yu's clear manuscript and let out a long sigh, holding his beard and showing a gratifying smile.

With the help of fifty disciples, he spent two months retrieving the classics collected in the palace. Not only did he search for the records of governing the country in all dynasties, but he also found a lot of information related to the economy of the Qin Dynasty, which was enough to supplement his previous articles.

At first he was a little worried, fearing that the data did not match his previous conclusions. After testing them one by one, he was delighted to find that most of the data were consistent with his analysis, and even if there were minor errors, it was easy to adjust.

After this incident, he finally understood what Liang Xiao said: As long as the facts are discussed, there will be no big errors. Only lies need to be compensated with more lies. Facts are facts. Information will not overturn the facts, but will only further prove the facts.

Now, he can not only start writing the history of the changes in the Dahe River, but also further revise the political gains and losses of the Qin Dynasty written before. Dou Ying gave him a one-year deadline. With the help of these fifty disciples, he can complete the writing within half a year.

The next step is probably to start writing that big book, right? Dong Zhongshu is full of confidence.

"Master Dong, Master Dong." The Grand Historian Sima Tan suddenly broke in, his hair was scattered, his face was exhausted, but his eyes were lit and he was excited.

"Shi Gong, what happened?" Dong Zhongshu was shocked and quickly stood up to support Sima Tan. He knew that Sima Tan had been lying on astronomy in recent months, and refused to leave the clairvoyance when eating and sleeping. Everyone in the pavilion said that he was going crazy. Seeing Sima Tan's appearance, how could Dong Zhongshu not panic?

"Do you have any people who are good at arithmetic here?" Sima Tan looked around. "I want to find a few people to help check it. I'm afraid there will be problems with my calculations alone."

“What’s the problem?”

"Uh, I can't say, I can't say." Sima Tan shook his head repeatedly. "Your Majesty has an edict, and I can't say it before the final form comes out." He looked around, and couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. He leaned into Dong Zhongshu's ear and said, "Master, I have calculated the calculation rules of the sun, moon, and stars. I understand the way of heaven. Haha, from now on, I can start a sect and establish a sect and make a single statement."

Dong Zhongshu was shocked. While asking someone to go to find someone who is good at calculating to help, he stared at Sima Tan without blinking. Sima Tan suddenly realized it and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty has an imperial edict, you can't say it, you can't say it. Hehe, it's amazing. It turns out that the way of heaven can also be calculated, it's really amazing."—
