The court could not allow someone to become an official, but it never had the power to force someone to become an official. A scoundrel, such as Liu Bang, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, had no choice but to sigh and ridicule himself. There was no reason to force him to tie him up to be an official.

Not only can he resign, but it is also very convenient. Liang Xiao does not even need to go back to Chang'an. As long as he keeps the seal, he can leave at any time. His deputy general or official subordinate will report the situation to the court and ask the court to make arrangements. Before the successor is in place, the deputy general or official subordinate will handle the relevant affairs. In the current situation, of course, it is handed over to Xu Le.

That's right, the big man is so willful when he resigns, and he doesn't even have to write a letter of resignation.

But in this way, the court was in trouble. Without Liang Xiao, let alone whether Xu Le could stabilize the situation in the Western Regions, where would the court face be put? Four hundred cavalry expeditions to the west, pacified the legendary generals of the Western Regions, and resigned in a blink of an eye and retired. What's going on? It must be that the court was suspicious of Liang Xiao, who took off the grind and killed the donkey, forcing Liang Xiao to retreat at a young age.

Although this is a fact, the impact is too bad. If the court is so cold and weak, who will still serve the court in the future?

When he heard Han Anguo's reply, the emperor's mood changed a big reversal. He had been worried that Liang Xiao would occupy the Western Regions and would not lose his head. Now that he learned that Liang Xiao might abandon his official position and retire, he was worried about gaining his reputation again. Liang Xiao pacified the Western Regions and was about to free up his hands to send troops to the grassland. If this happens, his morale will inevitably be greatly affected.

The emperor felt very uncomfortable when he thought that Cao Shi had not entered the palace until now.

"Han Gong, what should I do?"

Before coming to see the emperor, Han Anguo had repeatedly weighed the pros and cons. When he saw the emperor ask, he immediately said: "What kind of measures does the champion Hou think the most likely measure is to take? Should he become the king of his own or avoid retirement?"

The emperor's eyes flashed, and after thinking for a while, it was difficult to make a decision.

Han Anguo asked again: "Your Majesty hopes that the champion Hou Xianyun and Yehe will travel leisurely on the Baji, or do you hope that he will return to Chang'an to assist Your Majesty?"

The emperor smiled without thinking: "Of course I hope he will return to Chang'an." Perhaps he felt that he was too direct, he explained: "When the country is employed, Liang Xiao has a big picture, and he is always on the left and right, which can make up for my shortcomings. After years of experience, he can also help Han Gong with his strength, just like in Henan."

Han Anguo nodded repeatedly. "Your Majesty said very much. Liang Xiao is very talented and good at fighting. If he is a minister, he can assist Your Majesty and lead to the Holy Dynasty. If he is a savage, he will inevitably be confused by others and become a hidden danger to the country. However..." Han Anguo suddenly stopped and looked at the emperor with a smile. The emperor was guilty of being seen by him and smiled twice. Han Anguo said again: "Liang Xiao is vulgar and has little politeness. He offended His Majesty. At this moment, he is in a suspicious place. I am afraid he will not dare to come back."

"Don't dare to come back?" The emperor savored Han Anguo's words, gradually understood what Han Anguo meant, and a burst of anger surged in his heart. Of course, he understood what Han Anguo was talking about, it was nothing more than the progress of the Zhang Tang case.

Zhang Tang was imprisoned in Tingwei Prison for nearly two years, but in the two autumn decisions, the emperor rejected the opinion of Tingwei Temple. Dou Ying printed newspapers and asked scholars all over the world to discuss the pros and cons of the rule of law, but nothing more than using the public opinion to liquidate the Legalists. Zhang Tang not only wanted to die, but also died clearly and could not die. In Dou Ying's words, all Tingwei should act in accordance with the law like Zhang Shizhi.

But the emperor did not want this. The reason why Zhang Shizhi became a confrontation with Dou Yingxuan was because he refused to obey the emperor's intention. If all the court officers decided the case according to the law and orders like Zhang Shizhi, who would take the emperor seriously in the future?

What is a law? What the emperor of the previous dynasty said was a law, and what the emperor of the original dynasty said was a law. The law of the Legalists was originally the law of the king.

This is why the emperor has been dragging this matter and can't do it. Zhang Tang is not willing to die, but this routine cannot be made, otherwise he will become a puppet.

After two years of delay, I am afraid that I will find out now. The emperor looked at Han Anguo who was bent over and bowed, and a burst of sadness surged in his heart. Dou Ying, an old minister who had always been loyal to the court, wanted to limit the power of the monarch, and Han Anguo, the prime minister, the head of all officials, also wanted to limit the power of the monarch. They colluded with Liang Xiao inside and outside, and wanted to force the monarch to submit, but their hearts could be punished.

"I think about it again." The emperor waved his hand and left with his sleeves.

Liang Yu stood at the door, looking at Liu Ling who was writing at the desk, with a little hesitant look on his eyes.

"Come in, why are you standing at the door?" Liu Ling said without raising his head.

Liang Yu sighed lightly, stepped into the house, stood behind Liu Ling, his eyes crossed Liu Ling's shoulder, glanced at what Liu Ling wrote, and laughed softly, "Sister-in-law is missing brother, are you writing a letter?"

"Yes, after a year of separation, he has returned without a letter from his family. I always have to write a letter from his family, otherwise wouldn't it be a good family?" Liu Ling put down his pen and said hatefully: "He is naturally at ease. Not only is he accompanied by the princess Dayuan and his son, I heard that there is also a vain of Aliusu, who has left fragrance everywhere, and how can he remember Chang'an?"

Liang Yu's eyes moved slightly. "Since my sister-in-law's words, brother doesn't want to come back?"

Liu Ling glanced at Liang Yu and laughed "Puchi". "You asked for the Emperor, right?"

"The emperor wants to ask, and I want to ask too."

"You are honest." Liu Ling spread his arms and leaned on the back of the chair. His eyes crossed the carved window edges and looked at the wintersweets emitting faint fragrance in the courtyard, with a smile on his lips. "Then let me ask you, one is a prisoner of Chang'an who has a fief of ten thousand households, but he has no choice but to protect himself, and the other is a king of barbarians who compete with heroes in the world. Which one are you willing to choose?"

Liang Yu was shocked. "Brother wants to be king?"

"There are so many kings in the world, what's there to make a fuss about?" Liu Ling looked disdainfully. "Wen Ji, you can't just limit your attention to the great man like those snails in the well, right? Those barbarians can be called kings, why can't your brother be called kings?"

Liang Yu smiled awkwardly. "Is this what brother meant?"

"It's what I mean." Liu Ling stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples. "I'm worried that your brother is confused for a while, so he wants to write a letter to tell him not to come back. A good man is determined to be in all directions. Where can he go with his ability? He has to go back to Chang'an?"

"But...what should I do my sister-in-law?"

"As long as my son can break up the soil and divide the cemetery in the future, and be a free and easy prince, what's there to worry about?" Liu Ling raised his eyebrows lightly and smiled. "Wen Ji, I'll suffer for your brother. Will you forget me and treat my children badly?"

Liang Yu shook his head helplessly. "Sister-in-law, your decision... is nothing weak than a man. How can you use yourself as a sacrifice?"

"You don't have children, so you won't have such thoughts. When you have children, you won't feel strange." Liu Ling paused, and the smile on his face dissipated, and there was a little helplessness. "What can I do if I don't think so? You think your brother will be free when he comes back to Chang'an. Since they are all unfree, why bother him? Zhuangzi said: It's better to forget each other in the world than to support each other. This Chang'an City is a big cage, which makes people breathless. Not only do I don't want your brother to come back, but if possible, I want to leave. Even if I go back to Lushan, it's more comfortable than here."

Liang Xiao lowered his head. She deeply felt the same way for Liu Ling. If you think about it carefully, it was the best time in Lushan. You were free and didn’t have to worry about saying the wrong words, you didn’t have to worry about taking the wrong path, or you didn’t have to worry about suffering from an unexpected disaster because of someone’s slander.

Although Chang'an is good, it is not my hometown.

"Sister-in-law, if you can leave, you can take me with you."

Liu Ling glanced at Liang Yu for a moment and laughed out loud again. Liang Yu's face turned slightly red, but he did not retreat at all. She took Liu Ling's hand and patted her gently. "Sister-in-law, I mean it. I have lived in Chang'an for a long time, and it is really meaningless."

Liu Ling thought for a while. "Okay, if you can ask the emperor to issue a clear edict and let us get out of seclusion, I will take you away."

Liang Yu's eyes lit up. "Take it serious?"

"This can still lie to you." Liu Ling patted Liang Yu's hand. "I'll take you to find your brother. I heard that when you left Longxi, it was the territory of barbarians. Those barbarians had never read any books, and they didn't know any saint rituals, but they were very wild. Your brother was used to wildness and refused to come back."

Liang Yu's face was red and his ears were red, and he was embarrassed to stick out his tongue.

Liang Xiao kicked the war horse lightly and slowly advanced with the galloping cavalry.

Hannibal sat in front of him, dancing with excitement and screaming. His saliva flowed out with the ups and downs of the war horse, wetting Liang Xiao's hand. Liang Xiao curled his lips and said to Luo Xuli who was moving in unison, "You gave birth to a saliva baby."

Luo Xuli smiled and said, "That's right, let his father."

"Nonsense, I didn't drool when I was a child, I must be with Mom. I heard that your chin was rotten when you were a child."

"Nonsense, I'll strangle you to death." Luo Xuli jumped up, jumped behind Liang Xiao's back, hugged Liang Xiao's waist with both hands, and burst into laughter. The crisp laughter like a bell attracted the attention of many knights. Many knights raised the spears and swords in their hands to pay tribute to them.

Liang Xiao turned around and was about to kiss Luo Xuli, but he saw more than a dozen riders coming in the distance, including a camel, and a tall figure was sitting on his hunchback. He narrowed his eyes, a little uncertain. "Is that... Dongfang Shuo?"

Luo Xuli also turned her head and couldn't help but stick out her tongue. "You think it's that giant sage?"

"Yes." Liang Xiao tied his mount and sent Luo Xuli to her own mount, turned his head and met him.

Not long after, Dongfang Shuo and his party came to Liang Xiao. Dongfang Shuo rushed over, tied the reins of the camel, and leaned over to look at the little Hannibal in front of Liang Xiao. "Is this the little prince?"

Luo Xuli urged him to step forward and bowed, "I have met Mr. Dongfang."

Dongfang Shuo glanced at Luo Xuli and nodded repeatedly. "Princess, is there any princess as beautiful as you in the Dayuan Palace? It's okay to be older, I don't mind."

Luo Xuli was embarrassed, but Dongfang Shuo laughed loudly. Little Hannibal waved his small fist angrily and screamed.

"This little prince is interesting." Dongfang Shuo nodded in admiration, leaned over and pinched Hannibal's little face. "Ordinary children are so scared that they dare not speak when they see me. He dares to wave his fists at me. In the future, he will definitely be a brave man. Liang Boming, it would be great if you could be like him."

"Don't you fart, he is my son. Only he is like me, but I am not like him." Liang Xiao cursed with a smile and handed Hannibal to Luo Xuli. "Tell me, I don't stay in the mountains in the middle of winter and drink with Wusun Yan. Why did you come here?"

"I originally wanted to stay in the mountains, but I was worried that you would be confused, so I took the risk of coming out and wanted to remind you a few words."

"What do you want to remind me?" Liang Xiao avoided Dongfang Shuo's gaze, held the reins of the horse, and wrapped them around his wrist.

"You should go to Greece." Dongfang Shuo made it straight to the point.

"I'm going to Greece, where are you?"

"I'm here to take charge of the overall situation." Dongfang Shuo stretched out his hand. "Give me all your seals, including the champion Hou's."

"what?"

"What are you doing for so many questions?" Dongfang Shuo squeezed his eyes. "You go to Greece to relax and leave the rest to me. If it goes well, I can earn a title for you. If it doesn't go well, you can only earn it yourself."

"King Jue?" Liang Xiao couldn't laugh or cry. He knew that Dongfang Shuo would definitely be fine, but he didn't expect that he would be a big deal like being a king when he opened his mouth. It was not a small deal to be a king in a different surname. Since the death of King Jing of Changsha, there has been no king in a different surname in a big Han Dynasty.

"The saint acts because of the times, and does not restrict it for a while. If there is no now, it does not mean that there will be no future. Don't forget that the Han Dynasty has been established for seventy years, and there is only twenty years without a king of a different surname. What is impossible?" Dongfang Shuo waved his hand disapprovingly. "This time, there are at least five marquises in the Western Regions. You, the champion marquis, only have a little more fief and nothing special. How can you rule the Western Regions? It is much more convenient to have a monarch."

"Just for convenience?"

"Of course, the reputation is not right, the words are not right." Dongfang Shuo put his waist on his waist and was full of energy. "Of course, I am still thinking about myself. If you don't become king, I, as the prime minister, will I be a fake. Will you give you a lifetime order?"

Liang Xiao thought for a while. "You have thought about it all? Since that's the case, why don't you send someone to send a letter and have to come here in person?"

"Of course there are more important things." Dongfang Shuo looked around, leaned down, and leaned on the hump. "How big is the territory do you want? Should you include Hexi?"

Liang Xiao glanced at Dongfang Shuo and thought for a long time. "I don't want it in Hexi. If I had no choice, the Western Regions can also give up, so as not to break up. There are still thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to the west of the Palacioles and trillions of people, which is enough for us to gallop, so why bother to break up with the emperor?"

"Okay." Dongfang Shuo agreed immediately. "Don't worry, it takes three years. Three years later, I will either give you a prince or prepare a 100,000 army for you, please take it yourself. Princess, you see that I have made such a great effort. Should I introduce a beautiful sister to me? If it really doesn't work, the elders can do it too. Hey, who is this? Is it an Amazon female warrior? As expected, this is the only one, that is it."

Dongfang Shuo jumped off the camel and greeted the female matriarch who had just arrived, smiling and bowing his hands.

"In the Xia Dongfang Shuo, I believe you must have heard of my name..."

Liang Xiao, Tu Niuer and others turned their faces at the same time. Liang Xiao whispered to Luo Xuli who was stunned on the spot: "Princess, I'm not sure about it. I'm actually not very familiar with him."—
