When Li Guang won a great victory, the last stone in the emperor's heart fell to the ground. The strategic arrangement was correct and the war was progressing smoothly. The rest depends on the luck of the soldiers on the front line. It is not controlled by human forces, so he can only wait patiently.

The emperor finally felt in the mood to pay attention to the challenge of King Huainan. He not only paid attention to the public opinion on the street every day, but also studied the fixed pattern with the people around him. It has to be said that this is a very smart person. He only put some effort into understanding the laws of the movement of celestial bodies and was able to perform calculations and deductions proficiently. He was no worse than those Confucian scholars who helped Sima Tan for a long time. Even Liang Xiao felt inferior to Liang Xiao.

The only one who can compete with the emperor in terms of calculation ability is Sang Hongyang.

The emperor was quite content with this, but the happiest thing was Liang Xiao. The emperor was willing to accept it and went further and further on the pragmatic road. When the royal family and nobles also entered the country, it would not be so easy for them to turn back.

In order to make the emperor happy for a while, he was willing to suffer a little. At the same time, he went between the Huainan Prince's Mansion and the Imperial Palace, fanning and igniting the fire to warm up the debate. When he learned that the emperor not only did not object, but would also be present in person, Huainan King Liu An was also very excited, with a high fighting spirit, no weaker than the soldiers of the Western Expedition.

Liang Xiao had seen this situation in Dou Ying, and now he saw it in Liu An again, and he felt very relieved.

One is the leader of the heroes and the other is the leader of the royal family. The influence of these two people is extraordinary. The two join forces, and even the emperor cannot help but be afraid of three points. If we include the Middle Zodiac, which is in its prime, the three chariots should be able to form a check and balance the emperor so that he will not do whatever he wants like a wild horse that has broken away from his reins and kill whoever he wants.

Unfortunately, Cao Shi's life in history was short, and Wei Qing, who replaced him to warm the bed for Princess Yang Xin, was too honest and could not bear the heavy responsibility. Liang Xiao had to find someone else. Fortunately, Wei Zifu has lost favor now that he has given birth to two daughters in a row, and it is unlikely that Wei Qing will become a relative of the foreign country. It is no longer important that he is honest or not.

Liang Xiao was rarely quiet and sat in the pavilion in the backyard, analyzing the next situation.

The emperor was right. He was playing a big game. However, the emperor could not think about how big the chess he played. Due to his vision, the emperor is most concerned about whether he can sit firmly on his own throne and whether he can make achievements while sitting firmly on the throne. In this regard, Liang Xiao and the emperor did not have any conflicts. He just took advantage of the situation and led the emperor in the direction he hoped.

Overall, even without Liang Xiao and even with the plague of rivers, the man was still reaching the peak, but he couldn't go too far. After exhausting his vitality too early, he fell into a repeated cycle of viciousness. Liang Xiao's current efforts are to guide history on the right track before entering the turning point so that the tragedy will not happen again.

Once the internal relationship is straightened out and a healthy and benign power pattern is formed, the great man can go further.

As of now, the progress is still going smoothly. Liang Xiao estimated that in a few years, he could go out again, lead the great Han athletes to expand their territory and conquer all directions. Perhaps, in this life, he even had the opportunity to go to the other end of the world and consider the strength of the Roman Empire.

To fight against foreign countries, one must first settle the homeland. This sentence has been misunderstood by future generations for too long, but it has proved itself correct again and again.

"Bo Ming, what are you thinking?" Dou Ying walked in with great strides, his feet steady and his voice loud.

Liang Xiao quickly stood up to greet him. "Mr. Dou, why are you willing to come back from Lantian?"

"I heard that the King of Huainan is going to attack the Grand Historian. How could I not come back and see it?" Dou Ying smiled and said, "I heard that the emperor is going to come and listen to the sermon. Why are you sitting here? Could it be that the King of Huainan has not sent you an invitation?"

"I want to go to the Huainan Prince's Mansion, what other invitations do I need? I don't want to go there. There are many people and most of them are ulterior motives. I don't care about academics, so I don't have any interest in listening to it."

"It's not someone else's fault." Dou Ying sat down opposite Liang Xiao, waved his hand, and signaled his followers to retreat. "It was Emperor Xiaojing who broke the rules first, making others feel that there was an opportunity."

"You mean the emperor ascended the throne?"

Dou Ying nodded. There were no outsiders here, and he did not circle around Liang Xiao. "If I had not deposed Prince Li, how could there have been so many things later? Zhou Yafu was also killed because of this. The military meritorious class was separated from one another from that time."

Liang Xiao looked at Dou Ying in surprise. He and Dou Ying were very familiar with each other, but they were not as familiar as they were not as taboo. Dou Ying came today and said such a big deal as soon as he met. He bluntly accused Emperor Jing. Is he so brave or forgetful?

"Mr. Dou, what you said today is a bit taboo."

"What's wrong with a taboo?" Dou Ying disagreed. "I was a man of the state. If I didn't even dare to say something fair, I would have any face to say to myself? Don't forget that I was once the young tutor of Prince Li."

Liang Xiao was helpless. "Okay, Mr. Dou is generous, I'm not polite. Why are you here to come to me today?"

"I want to make a new covenant."

"Create a covenant?"

"Yes, the White Horse Agreement of Emperor Gao has been completely destroyed. For example, today I am conquering everywhere and advocating military merits. It is conceivable that in no time, another group of military meritorious servants will appear. The scholars discuss politics, just say it. If these warriors are disloyal from the court, they may cause major trouble. At the least, the losses will be reduced, and at worst, the rebellion will occur. At that time, the conquering will become the rebel ministers. How far can we go?"

Liang Xiao was shocked. Dou Ying was thinking exactly what he wanted to do, but before he could say it, Dou Ying took the initiative to mention it. Is his intention too obvious, or is Dou Ying too radical?

"What kind of covenant do you want to make with His Majesty and reiterate the covenant of White Horse?"

"This is probably unlikely." Dou Ying shook her head. "Although I have some ideas, I can't find a suitable charter for a while, so I came to discuss it with you."

Liang Xiao twisted his fingers and pondered for a long time. Of course he was happy to learn that Dou Ying had this idea, and finally there were like-minded people. But he knew better that although Dou Ying was not young, he was a real Han man and still had chivalrous spirit, and sometimes he was impulsive. It seems that it is better to be cautious in this kind of thing at this time.

"Since I haven't thought about it yet, why not wait until I think about it?"

Dou Ying was a little disappointed and said nothing. He invited Liang Xiao to Huainan Prince's Mansion to attend the lecture again. Liang Xiao refused, so Dou Ying did not refuse and left. Looking at Dou Ying's hurried back, Liang Xiao shook his head with a smile.

This cute old man is still so popular at such a young age and has no intention of enjoying his old age.

When Dou Ying arrived at the Huainan Prince's Mansion, the Huainan Prince's Mansion was crowded with people and full of seats.

The VIP seat on the second floor was almost all the royal families. When the kings came to the court, many of them were full of anger, waiting for someone to lead the challenge to the court. As the uncle of Wang, King Huainan had a criminal record of participating in the rebellion of the seven countries. The first to stand up to challenge Sima Tan's theory of the way of heaven was undoubtedly an action that could easily make people think of.

Some people came to see the jokes, and some people came to seek scriptures.

After Sima Tan's theory of Heaven was promulgated, many people wanted to refute him, but unfortunately, they found many capable and wise men. After carefully studying Sima Tan's article, they could not find any flaws. In the end, they attributed the reasons for the clairvoyance. Without clairvoyance, they could not see the stars Sima Tan said, and they could not verify them. They were not determined by Sima Tan's.

Who can guarantee that Sima Tan did not fabricate such a thing according to the emperor's instructions? Not only do such things, but also many. They who came from the royal family are so familiar with this set of methods.

In their opinion, Liu An should be the most dissatisfied person. If he hadn't felt the fear of the emperor, would he take the initiative to ask for the relocation of the vassal? At the same time, he was the one who had the most conditions to challenge. Sima Tan used a clairvoyance, and he had it. As long as he took out the star map and exposed Sima Tan's lies, the emperor's intention would naturally be defeated without conquering it.

The kings sat in their compartments, quietly waiting for the beginning of the lecture.

The lecture was empty, and the King of Huainan had not yet come out. He was Uncle Wang, so he was naturally qualified to put on airs before these royal families. For the sake of his determination to stand up for everyone today, he would not care about it.

Just as everyone was looking forward to it, the sound of Qing Dao shouting came from outside the door, and the emperor was here.

The kings quickly stood up and lined up to greet him. The emperor smiled and quickly walked towards the chief in the middle. In front of King Liu De of Hejian, he stopped. "Brother Wang, I heard that you are sick recently, are you getting better?"

"Thank you for your care. This is an old illness, and it's not a problem." Liu De smiled slightly and replied respectfully.

"Come on, sit together." The emperor held Liu De's hand and looked very intimate. "I was very happy to hear that Brother Wang was editing books in Hejian. Among the royal family, if anyone's knowledge can compete with Uncle Wang in Huainan, it is Brother Wang."

The emperor pulled Liu De into the seat together. Liu De did not dare to refuse, so he had to enter the seat. When the kings saw each other, they looked at each other and showed some disdain. Liu De was the second son of Emperor Xiaojing, and was born to the same mother as Prince Li Liu Rong. Concubine Li gave birth to three sons, and the eldest son Liu Rong was made the crown prince, and later deposed and died in prison. The youngest son Liu Yan died three years after being appointed as the king. In fact, it was also scared to death. The rest was Liu De.

Liu De ranked second among his brothers. Logically speaking, after Liu Rong was deposed, he was the one who was most qualified to inherit the throne. Liu De knew that his identity was special. He had been working as a man with his tail between his tail and he had been working on books over the years, and he did not express any opinions, for fear of causing trouble. The kings did not respect him very much. As for the emperor, he was probably more afraid than respect him. Now he was just showing off his appearance.

Downstairs, Dou Ying watched the emperor chat and Liu De and suddenly felt aroused, and the corners of her mouth were tilted.

There was a crisp sound on the lecture, and Liu An opened the curtain and appeared in front of everyone. He bowed to the emperor first, and was also a little surprised to see Liu De and the emperor sitting side by side. However, he immediately coughed and began to preach.

"Everyone, the imperial court recently issued a chart of astrology written by Sima Tan, the Grand Historian, and it was equipped with a fixed pattern, which was once popular. It is said that for this manuscript of less than a thousand words, Taishi Ling has not been married for two years, which reminds me of Master Dong."

Everyone laughed knowingly and turned their eyes to Dong Zhongshu in the crowd. Dong Zhongshu rolled his eyes and laughed and scolded twice with hatred.

"The Grand Historian devoted himself to learning, and An admired him very much. However, knowledge is knowledge, and he cannot tolerate any carelessness, especially the great knowledge involving the way of heaven." Liu An put away his smile and showed a bit of murderous aura. "The Grand Historian relied on to establish a celestial phenomenon observed by the Qianliyan. People without the Qianliyan cannot see the celestial bodies and stars, and even if they want to refute, they may not be able to start. In this way, it is not fair enough."

There was a laughter in the crowd.

The Grand Historian Sima Tan stood behind the emperor with a tense face, without saying a word. The emperor was calm and composed, and his face remained unchanged. He knew the purpose of the King of Huainan, so he naturally didn't have to worry. He only had one thing to care about now, to see who jumped the most.

"Fortunately, although the Qianli Eye is valuable, it is not unique to the palace. I also have one in Huainan." Liu An laughed proudly: "The Grand Historian is not only not good at the beauty, but I am afraid that even this head cannot be occupied. I can say without being humble that the newly created Qianli Eye in Huainan is clearer than the Grand Historian, and I can see more stars. Everyone, this is the astrological sign I have observed recently."

Liu An waved his hand, and two young servants carried a wooden table forward. There was a stack of printed astrological images on the wooden table. The servants picked up the astrological images and distributed them to everyone one by one. Everyone was curious and took them one by one and took them carefully. Although many people couldn't understand which star the black spots were, it was always a happy thing to get a gift when they started.

Touching the new paper, smelling the ink fragrance, and looking at the star map, everyone whispering and whispering.

The emperor and the kings above also obtained a star map, which was even more exquisite than the ones in the hands of ordinary audiences below. The emperor handed the star map to the Taishi Ling and whispered: "How?"

Sima Tan came over and took a closer look. "It seems to be a little different from the celestial phenomena I saw, with a few more stars."

"So, the clairvoyance of the Huainan Prince's Mansion is better than that of the palace?"

Sima Tan nodded repeatedly. "Your Majesty, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. If you want to maintain your advantages, the development of clairvoyance is very important."

The emperor grinned and felt a little embarrassed. It would be fine if the clairvoyance who observed the astronomical phenomena, but the generals in the army had a greater demand for clairvoyance. Although Shangfang had been developing the studio, he had not yet produced any truly qualified products. As the scale of the conquest became larger and larger, the clairvoyance that the King of Huainan had offered before was no longer enough. Next, I am afraid that I would have to buy it from Huainan.

This is all money.

At this time, Liu An said loudly: "Academics is a public instrument in the world, and cannot be monopolized by one person. He dares not hide his own personal information, and dares to share it with the people who are interested in learning in the world, discuss with each other, and ponder each other. This is a sample. If you are interested, you might as well try it first. Taishi Ling, are you interested in coming first?"

As he said that, Liu An waved his hand, and someone raised a huge wooden frame, lifted the brocade on it, revealing a Qianliyan with gold and jade inlaid. Sima Tan was stunned at first sight, his heart beat like a drum, and his eyes were lit. He dealt with Qianliyan every day, so he naturally knew that this Qianliyan was bigger and longer than the one in Tianlu Pavilion, and he could see more stars.

"This is a rare weapon for a thousand gold, Your Majesty!" Sima Tan murmured-
