Dou Ying suddenly felt a little hot in her face, and was ashamed of the timidity he had just now. He lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and when he raised his head again, his eyes became extremely firm and even a little excited.

"Is Liang Boming asking you to say that?"

Mei Gao nodded without hesitation.

Dou Ying let out a sigh and nodded slowly. "Since he looks down on me so much, I have no choice but to ask. Let me tell you what your open conspiracy is."

"Here." Mei Gao bowed again, then leaned against Dou Ying and talked happily. "Actually, Liang Boming had no disgust towards Master Dong. He agreed with his intentions, but opposed his methods. The destiny was too mysterious, and using destiny to explain human affairs is probably beyond the reach."

Dou Ying's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he wanted to speak but stopped. He wanted to refute a few words, but when he thought of Dong Zhongshu's embarrassment just now, he thought he should not get involved in this issue. The methods of these young people were very rough and even a little rude, but it has to be said that this method was very effective. Faced with Mei Gao's questioning, Dong Zhongshu had almost no power to resist and could only retreat.

"What about your plan?"

"Start from the truth."

“How to start from the truth?”

"Economic." Mei Gao spit out two words and added two more words. "Maintain the world, use economics."

Dou Ying flashed his mind and pondered: "It's useful to manage the world? It sounds like this has indeed been put into practice. But how can we start?"

"On Qin."

Dou Ying gradually understood Mei Gao's meaning and couldn't help but turn his mouth aside. "Learn from the past and discuss the present, and use the traces of the destruction of Qin to discuss the politics of the present?"

"The king is indeed an old minister with rich experience in politics." Mei Gao laughed and flattered a few words without expressing his voice. Dou Ying was conceited and now he was in a downturn and has almost no resistance to this kind of flattery. "Taking history as a guide is the most common method used by scholars. Qin has been destroyed for only seventy or eighty years, and there are many historical records. Many people have personally experienced the tyranny of the late Qin Dynasty. It is always easier to study Qin affairs than to study the third generation."

Dou Ying nodded repeatedly. Mei Gao was right, whether it was Confucianism or Taoism. The most common method used to describe the present is the most common method. It is always said that the Three Dynasties are a common problem for scholars. The Three Dynasties are far away, and no one can tell what they look like. Therefore, there is no conclusion on the whole story of everyone's own performance. However, the demise of the Qin Dynasty is a matter of immediate effect. Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, a discussion of the demise of the Qin Dynasty has been launched. Started by Lu Jia, followed by Jia Yi, and Chao Cuo to summarize, and the results are remarkable.

"The story of the demise of Qin has been discussed many times. If you mention this topic, are there any articles to do?"

"Of course there is article to do." Mei Gao smiled and said, "Just like the astrological signs, countless sages have observed the sky for thousands of years. Once a thousand miles of eyes appeared, did he discover a new world?"

Dou Ying became excited. "What you are talking about is the economy?"

Mei Gao didn't say anything, but just raised his thumb and shook it in front of Dou Ying. Dou Ying laughed loudly, stroked his beard with one hand and held the desk with the other, and tapped his fingers gently on the desk. It started very slowly. The sound was a little stagnant, and gradually, the knocking sound became lighter and lighter, as if a light dancer was dancing with the drum sound.

"Yes, this is indeed a clairvoyance. When it comes to Qin affairs, all the wise men often focus on morality and destiny, but rarely look at it from the economy. Even if there is something involved, it is still talked in general. If specific data can be listed and detailed arguments are discussed, new discoveries may be made." Dou Ying glanced at Mei Gao and laughed. "Does Liang Boming still plan to set a fixed pattern?"

"Liang Xiao had calculated a calculation before. He said that if he had all his financial resources, he would not last more than ten years in a row." The emperor closed the account book and patted it. His strength was very light. He seemed to be afraid of being broken. "Now it seems that he is still a little optimistic. He did not estimate the losses caused by the disaster."

Tian Feng felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. He was the prime minister and nominally controlled the civil affairs of the world, but now he was left with only obedience. Liang Xiao was far away in Lushan and had no official position, but the emperor never forgets a word from him many years ago. This was simply humiliating him in person.

"Your Majesty. Liang Xiao is just a martial artist. He is his duty to fight on the battlefield. But how can he be clear about the economy and people's livelihood?"

The emperor glanced at Tian Feng and refused to comment. "Prime Minister, tell me, if the princes and kings are taken back, can we relieve the pressure a little?"

"Your Majesty is ready to agree to the request of King Huainan?"

"Yes, Shandong is where the grain tax is located, but most of it was taken into account by the princes and kings. The court could receive nothing except some gold. If they were moved to remote places and their fiefdoms were taken back, they could also relieve the pressure."

"With that being said, can the princes be willing? People are happy and peaceful. Who is willing to leave the long-running feudal state, go to remote and cold places, overcome all obstacles, and join the barbarians?" Tian Fu shook his head repeatedly. "In my opinion, the King of Huainan is just acting, and it is impossible to take it seriously."

The emperor sighed and felt it was reasonable. Even if the King of Huainan was true, other royal families might not want to do so. He stood up, walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and hesitated. He knew that this battle must be fought, otherwise the Western Regions would be lost. But seeing these numbers, he knew that this battle must be cautious and he could not afford to lose.

Can Cao Shi do it? Can Mei Gao do it? Wei Qing can fight, but he can't support it alone. It would be great if Liang Xiao was there too. With him and Wei Qing's cooperation, the winning rate of this battle would be greatly improved. The emperor recalled the cooperation between the two of them in Zhangpu not long ago and couldn't help but sigh softly. If Liang Xiao was as gentle and obedient as Wei Qing, how great it would be.

The emperor raised his head and looked at Huo Qubing, who was already sleeping against the desk beside him, and secretly prayed. Xiao Qubing, you should grow up quickly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." King Wuqiu Shou walked in quickly, his face full of joy. "Your Majesty, you are so happy, so happy."

The emperor was surprised: "What's the matter?"

"The Grand Secretary Zheng sent news at that time, and the breakup was blocked."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic, and stepped in front of King Wuqiu Shou a few steps, snatched the document from him, and while looking, he said anxiously: "When did you receive the news?"

"I just received it. Before I could get them into the file, I came to Your Majesty to report the good news first."

"Okay! OK!" The emperor nodded repeatedly and said to Tian Fu loudly: "Prime Minister, it seems that you are still foresighted. Although the sacrifice of the gods was still worth it. Isn't this a block? Where is Li Xianweng, please come here, I want to thank him, I want to thank him heavily."

Tian Fu was overjoyed and quickly turned around and left the hall and sent someone to invite Li Xianweng. The breakup was finally blocked. He made contributions to recommending people, and the emperor would definitely have a heavy reward. The accusations and criticisms he had received over the past few days finally came to a tranquility.

After reading Zheng's report at that time, the emperor was so excited that he could not suppress himself. This incident had tortured him for too long, like a big stone pressing on his heart, making it difficult for him to take steps and suddenly resolved. He couldn't react and always wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

After a while, he thought of what to do. "Summon Dong Zhongshu into the palace, I want to see what else he can say."

King Wuqiu Shou stood still.

The emperor frowned. "Why haven't you gone yet?"

King Wuqiu Shou smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, Dong Zhongshu has taken leave to return to Chang'an. Not only has he left, but Wei Qihou Dou Ying also left together."

The emperor was stunned. During this period, he was busy preparing for the Western Expedition and had never cared about these two old men. He also intended to neglect them for a while. He didn't know at all about their request for leave and returning to Chang'an. Of course, one was a senior doctor and the other was a senior doctor. If he asked for leave, there was no need to notify him, and the doctor's order could be approved.

But what happened to these two people walking together?

"What are they doing when they go back to Chang'an?"

"I don't know. Otherwise, I will ask the doctor to come and ask him?"

The emperor waved his hand. The doctor Li Guang was a warrior, so he would not care about what Dong Zhongshu and the others did. It would be useless to ask.

The emperor was very disappointed. It was a pity that he missed such a good opportunity. It would be great if he could see Dong Zhongshu's expression in person. What would he have? The emperor wanted someone to recall Dong Zhongshu immediately, but he gave up. After all, he was the emperor and could not be too frivolous, otherwise he would be taught a lesson by the pedantic old master again.

Chiyang Post.

Dong Zhongshu and Dou Ying sat opposite you, sighed, I sighed, look at me, I looked at you, but I didn't know what to say, so I could only look at each other and smile bitterly. They just heard the news that the river was breached, and the flood in Shandong was solved before the summer arrived. Of course, this is a good thing, but for Dong Zhongshu, it is even more bad news.

It’s not that he didn’t want the break to be blocked, but that the solution was inconsistent with what he hoped. The emperor did not reform any bad policies, nor did he dispel the idea of ​​sending troops to conquer, but instead sacrificed the gods. What does this mean? It means that the gods accepted the sacrifices of the emperor, and it also means that Dong Zhongshu’s accusations were unfounded and he spoke nonsense. What would he say in the future? Can the emperor listen to him?

"Teacher, it seems that the response of heaven and man... is indeed not very reasonable." Dou Ying touched his nose and secretly glanced at Dong Zhongshu.

"Uh... cough!" Dong Zhongshu coughed twice, speechless. Although he knew that Dou Ying had no malicious intentions, the theory he had studied carefully for many years was gone, and his face was always not good-looking.

When Dou Ying came to him and hoped that he would complete new academic topics together, he was not willing to do so. If Dou Ying had not been for having a great face and could not have given up, he would not have appeared here at all. But now, he is glad that he did not stay in Ganquan Palace, otherwise he would have been ridiculed by many people.

"What kind of economic and livelihood principles can be effective?" Dong Zhongshu retorted half-true. "Lu Jia and others are in front of me, and the meaning of the topic has been completed. I don't think I can come up with any new ideas. It's just a waste of time."

"Hehe, don't say that." Dou Ying shook his head. "Think about it, have the several fixed patterns proposed by Liang Boming been overthrown? None of them have been overthrown. Although they are some tips, they are step by step. Your ideas are indeed grand, but they can't be defeated with one click. Shouldn't you reflect on it? Since your method cannot be done, try his method, what's wrong?" -
