The emperor was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red. He waved his sleeves and threw the ministers into the court.

Everyone was at a loss. Dou Ying lowered his head, thought for a while, sighed, stood up, and left the hall. The rest of the people were even more confused, not knowing what had happened, and the conversation was well done, why did the emperor suddenly get angry? They were not leaving, not staying, and had to sit down, and finally focused their eyes on the faces of the Lord Yan, Yan An and others.

Cao Shiqiang smiled and said, "Master, Lord, Jun Yan, are there any news about Jun Xu? Your Majesty intends to send troops. Jun Xu is from Yan, familiar with the situation in the border areas, and has made contributions to the battle with the champion Hou. I also hope to invite him to be the military supervisor."

Tian Fu couldn't help but feel angry when he saw everyone ignoring him. He smirked and said, "Marquis Pingyang, you have collected so much information. Do you still need Xu Le to lead you? Xu Le made contributions in the Western Regions and was highly valued by the Marquis of Champions. He is probably not willing to go back to Chang'an. Hehe, the Western Regions are so good, with beautiful jade, beauties, and good wine and horses. Those who go there are so happy that they are going back, let alone expeditions to the north of the desert."

Cao Shi felt a stern and laughed twice, not following Tian Fu's words. He had already heard Tian Fu's meaning. The emperor suspected that Liang Xiao was unwilling to return to Chang'an to report his life and wanted to be king in the Western Regions. If this is the case, then this matter would be a little troublesome. Looking at the court, among the generals who are now in the limelight, who dares to say that he is confident of defeating Liang Xiao?

The entire Western Regions can be said to be settled by Liang Xiao alone. Dayuan, Daxia, Yuezhi are all Liang Xiao's allies. Dongfang Shuo, Li Danghu, Li Shuyun, and Guo Wu are all marquises who were named after Liang Xiao's battle. If someone else goes to the Western Regions, who can respond to one call?

No wonder the emperor is so angry.

However, this is a bit confusing? As soon as Liang Xiao's letter of victory arrived, the emperor suspected that he was unjust. Is it because the emperor was always worried, or is it that someone was sowing trouble in the emperor's ears?

Cao Shi couldn't help but look at Tian Fu, his face slightly darkened. He stood up, bowed to Prime Minister Han Anguo and others, and left.

After a while, Li Guang also left.

After a while, Wei Qing also left.

Not long after, most of the people in the hall left, and the rest became even more embarrassed. Prime Minister Han Anguo shook his head, sighed a long time, and got up and left the seat. He left the hall, took two steps, and stopped again. He thought for a moment, then suddenly turned around and rushed to the back hall with great strides.

The emperor was angry in the back hall, and the people who were serving in the hall held their breath, and there was no one who dared to cough. Han Anguo walked to the gate of the hall and called in loudly. When the emperor heard Han Anguo's voice, he immediately stopped his anger and the hall was silent. After a moment, the emperor came over, and the flush on his face had not faded, but his expression had basically returned to normal.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Duke Han, I was so anxious just now that I was leaving in a hurry. Mr. Han wouldn't blame me, right?"

Han Anguo bowed slightly. "Your Majesty, you have three urgent needs, you can't force it. It's better to leave in a hurry than to lose your respect. However, Your Majesty is the head of a country, so you must take care of your health and never be careless."

The emperor blinked. "Duke Han, although I am the emperor, I am actually just an ordinary person and there is no difference from others."

Han Anguo shook his head. "Your Majesty said, I dare not agree with what you said. I am a person who commands the army and dares to compare things in the army. Generals have five virtues, such as wisdom, courage, benevolence, wise, trustworthy, and courage is after wisdom. That is to say, those who are generals should not miss plans, should not provoke troops in anger, and should not fight in anger, otherwise they must be taken advantage of by the enemy. Generals must also be brave, but this courage is not the courage of ordinary men, but responsible, especially when facing danger, they will not be confused and can still remain calm."

The emperor took a deep breath and nodded slowly. He waved his hand and signaled Han Anguo to enter the hall, and ordered someone to give him a seat. Han Anguo took his seat, and the emperor paced back and forth a few steps, suddenly stopped, staring at Han Anguo with a burning gaze.

"Duke Han, do you know that Liang Xiao's family is not in Yuzhang?"

"Isn't there in Yuzhang?" Han Anguo was shocked. Liang Xiao was demoted from Beijing last time, and all his family left. Later, he was the only one who returned to Chang'an. When he went to the Western Regions, the emperor was worried that he would lose control and hesitate. It was not until Liu Ling returned to Chang'an and became a hostage that the emperor let him leave with confidence, while the others were still in Yuzhang.

If Liang Xiao’s family was not in Yuzhang, the situation would be completely different.

"Then where were they and when did they leave Yuzhang?"

"I don't know where I went, but the time I left was quite certain, just before the Lord Weng came to Beijing."

Han Anguo took a breath of air. Before Liu Ling came to Beijing, that is, before Liang Xiao went to war, he transferred his family away. This was a premeditation.

Seeing Han Anguo's shocked look, the emperor sighed: "Han Gong knows why I'm so angry, right? To be honest, I was also surprised when I received this news just now. The court always trusted Liang Xiao very much, but he did this, which was really heartbreaking. Wei Qihou has always been close to Liang Xiao, so he could not know this news. Not only has he kept it hidden but now he is also exonerating Liang Xiao, and he would even rather go to the Western Regions than stay in Chang'an. I... I am really..."

The emperor shook his head repeatedly, extremely disappointed and gritted his teeth with hatred.

Han Anguo was sweating heavily, and he thought quickly for a moment and leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, will there be any misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, but his eyes became cold.

Han Anguo could see clearly, and his heart couldn't help but shrink. He calmed down and asked, "Have you ever asked Wei Qihou in person?"

The emperor remained silent. After a moment, he shook his head.

"Since I haven't asked, how can I be sure that he must know? I and Liang Xiao also had the friendship of fighting side by side. Liang Xiao has always been respectful to me, and he is half a teacher and half a friend, but if it were not for Your Majesty's words, I would not know about this."

The emperor stared at Han Anguo for a long time, his eyes cold. In order to excuse Dou Ying, Han Anguo believed that he had a close relationship with Liang Xiao, so he was not afraid of being angry. Was he punished him at the same time?

Han Anguo raised his head, faced the angry gaze of the emperor, without saying a word.

After a long time, the emperor let out a breath. "Han Gong is chivalrous and will not let Wei Qihou."

"I dare not take it." Han Anguo also breathed a sigh of relief. "In terms of reputation, Wei Qihou is the first to be the Marquis of Wei, followed by the Marquis of Champions, and everyone else is just Er'er."

The emperor's eyes flashed and he pondered for a moment. "Who said this?"

"Chang'an Rangers said so."

"Is that?" The emperor raised the corner of his mouth slightly, meaningful. "No wonder Wei Qihou did not hesitate to defend Liang Xiao. It turned out that he was a hero who cherished the hero."

"Don't your Majesty want to know why the Rangers, who have always refused to convince others, say that?"

The emperor pondered for a moment, and saw that Han Anguo had no intention of giving up, so he had to ask: "Why?"

"I heard that when Liang Xiao was in Chang'an, he once said a standard for being a hero. He said that heroes can be divided into big and big, one promise is a thousand gold, and one righteousness is just a little hero. Only for the country and the people can one be a hero."

"For the country and the people, is the hero?"

"That's right, I have the world in my heart and am willing to contribute my talents to the people of the world. If necessary, I will sacrifice my life. This is the real hero. Your Majesty, Wei Qihou was the position of Your Majesty, and he did not hesitate to offend the Empress Dowager. He has been working hard for the management of the river for many years, calling for the disaster-stricken people in Shandong, and having trouble with the Empress Dowager. Such people are not comparable to those who are good at benevolence and righteousness, so they are called heroes."

The emperor blinked his eyes, took a breath, and slowly vomited it out, the color was slightly slower. When he thought about it carefully, although Dou Ying sometimes didn't know how to advance or retreat, he never made any mistakes in his life in his life, and he really deserved the word "hero".

Han Anguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he felt a chill on his back, full of cold sweat.

Han Anguo walked into Dou Ying's study and looked at the bookshelf filled with books around him. Han Anguo couldn't help but smile.

"Junhou is now the most knowledgeable person in Chang'an City. If I don't enter this study, I don't think I have any problems. Once I enter this study, I immediately feel that I am too vulgar and must ask for a few good books to nourish me."

Dou Ying laughed and reached out to pull Han Anguo to the bookshelf. "If you like, take whatever you want, take it casually. Anyway, I'm leaving Chang'an, so these books won't be used."

Han Anguo picked up a book, turned over two pages, and said inadvertently: "Junhou really plans to go out for a trip? Where do you want to go?"

"Western Regions."

Han Anguo put down the book, raised his fingers, and clenched his eyebrows. "So, Liang Boming really doesn't plan to come back?"

"Do he dare to come back?" Dou Ying curled his lips. "As soon as the battle was over, someone slandered in front of the emperor. When he returned to Chang'an, I don't know how many people would make contributions to him. I was afraid that he would be confused, so I rushed to the Western Regions to remind him. He was so young, there was no need to rush to return to his roots. Let's go outside for more walks to avoid anyone thinking about it. How great."

Han Anguo sighed. He thought Dou Ying was not clear about these things, so he dared to plead for Dou Ying in front of the emperor. Now, after hearing Dou Ying's meaning, he should have known it for a long time, and he did it on purpose.

How can I persuade you?

Seeing Han Anguo in a dilemma, Dou Ying couldn't help laughing. "Changru, I know your purpose. After thinking about it, you are the only one in the court with such qualifications and courage. Others either dare not or cannot. Speaking of which, when Liang Boming left, Chang'an is too deserted."

Han Anguo's eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything, but nodded. In terms of courage, Dou Ying and Liang Xiao, the old and young, are indeed rare aliens. Needless to say, Dou Ying was a minister of bones when he was the late emperor. Although Liang Xiao was young, he was even better than that. It has become a legend to seek war in front of the emperor. After he left Chang'an, he could never find such a young man again.

There are only slaves like Wei Qing who can command troops but dare not speak loudly in front of the emperor.

"It's not unusual for some people to slander. The emperor has such an idea, but it's really surprising." Dou Ying sighed: "Generals who are commanding troops outside are most afraid of being jealous of the king and minister. Throughout history, good generals often fail to have a good end. Could it be that good generals have the intention of being unjust? Many times they are forced out. You know what Liang Boming's temper is. Once such news reaches his ears, it's hard to guarantee that he will not react too aggressively."

Han Anguo nodded. He thought for a moment and then said, "Does Junhou think he will have any strange intentions?"

Dou Ying glared at Han Anguo and lowered his face. "Even if you think so, even if he doesn't have any strange intentions, he can only have strange intentions."

Han Anguo blushed and bowed his hands to accompany him.

Dou Ying looked slightly slower and said, "Whether you have a different intention, first of all, depends on whether you have such an idea. If Liang Boming was greedy for fame and status, he would not have come to Chang'an back then. His master Huan Yuan was an old subordinate of the Wu Kingdom. Wouldn't it be convenient for him to go to Wu Kingdom? If he seeks wealth, he would not have to come to Chang'an. Wouldn't it be better to go to Huainan to be a prince's son-in-law? With the ability of Liu Qian, the prince of Huainan, was he so difficult?"

Han Anguo nodded and agreed, but did not say anything.

"In addition to having such an idea, it depends on whether he has such strength. Yes, Liang Xiao can now be king in the Western Regions, but that's all. If he wants to seize more territory, he is delusional. Will Li Danghu support him? Even if Dunhuang prefect Guo Wenbin will support him, will the prefects of the other three counties support him? The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions sound like a lot, but their strength is limited, so he can't organize an expedition that can threaten the Han Dynasty. At best, it is just the Hexi and the Western Regions he seized. If so, what else can he get except for the false reputation of a king?"

Han Anguo nodded again. Liang Xiao was indeed not the kind of person who brought disaster for the sake of fame. It was possible for him to act as a blessing in the Western Regions, but it was impossible for him to become king. The emperor's worries were redundant.

"Does Junhou know where Liang Boming's family go?"

"Liang Boming's family? The master of the past is in Chang'an, and the others are in Yuzhang."

Han Anguo stared at Dou Ying for a long time before shook his head. "No, except for the fact that the old man was still in Chang'an, his family was not in Yuzhang. The emperor received the news that his family had left Yuzhang long before he went to war and disappeared."

Dou Ying was stunned and smiled bitterly for a while and said, "I understand. No one of these two people trusted each other. The emperor was afraid that Liang Boming would lose his tail, and Liang Boming was also afraid that the emperor would hide all the bows. So the emperor refused to let Liang Boming go to war. Liang Boming also took the chess first and sent his family away, leaving the emperor alone in Chang'an. Oh, no..."

Dou Ying suddenly slapped his head. "No, no, Liang Boming refused to go to war at the beginning, and he was even unwilling to rise to two thousand stones. It is probably the plan of the Lord Weng to come to Chang'an, and it was not his original intention."

"What is his intention?"

"Hmph..." Dou Ying sneered: "I can't see it now? He is planning to retire. He originally wanted to hide in Mount Lu, but it was impossible to hide in the court, but it was also impossible to hide in the Western Regions." He glanced at Han Anguo. "If you believe it or not, it will take a few months for his resignation to be sent to Chang'an. Hehe, I see what the court will do about it at that time."

Han Anguo suddenly realized and couldn't help but laugh and cry—
