Dou Ying was both a little excited and a little confused. He couldn't figure out what the princess was talking about.

The princess explained the intention. Liu Ling, the lord of Huainan, was doing a research study, and if she found something, she was bound to hold a party to announce the results, just like the lectures she often held. She hoped that Dou Ying would come forward to discuss with Liu Ling and hold this lecture at Dou's house.

After listening to what the princess of the pavilion Tao meant, Dou Ying understood. To put it bluntly, it is to reinvigorate his fame while wooing Liu Ling and Liang Xiao. Nowadays, the lectures held by Huainan Mansion have become a well-known gathering in Chang'an, and the scholars are flocking to it, and it is difficult to find one, and it is said that even the Son of Heaven has served privately.

Princess Tao once invited Liu Ling to give a lecture, which attracted a large number of guests. If he follows suit, he will also have the opportunity to become the focus of attention of the scholars again, and maybe he can also attract some customers to enrich his strength.

However, Dou Ying did not agree. "The lord is good friends with Liu Ling, why don't you invite her to give a lecture in your mansion?"

The chief princess smiled. Of course she had this idea, but Liu Ling rejected it. She couldn't figure out Liu Ling's intentions, so she had to use a roundabout plan and ask Dou Ying to come forward. Liu Ling's investigation was obviously related to the queen's request, but Liu Ling refused to cooperate with their mother and daughter, which made her somewhat uneasy.

Liu Ling's love for Liang Xiao is a well-known story in Chang'an Road. If nothing else, as soon as Liang Xiao returns to Chang'an, he will go to Huainan to ask for relatives. Liang Xiao, like Wei Qihou, is both handsome among his peers, and I think you have more common topics. The Son of Heaven suppressed Liang Xiao, Liang Xiao was young, and it was inevitable that he would be impulsive. It would be good if Wei Qihou had more enlightenment. This is also to serve the imperial court. You say, don't you? ”

Dou Ying smiled without saying a word, nodding frequently.

——

After the princess Tao left, Dou Ying made a plan and took the initiative to visit Liu Ling in Huainan Mansion.

Hearing that Dou Ying was visiting, Liu Ling was very surprised. She greeted Dou Ying in person and was very polite, but after hearing about Dou Ying's intention, Liu Ling politely refused Dou Ying's request.

Dou Ying's face was a little unbearable. He personally came to the door to worship one of the juniors. Willing to cooperate, Liu Ling actually didn't agree? It stands to reason that let alone Liu Ling, even the King of Huainan has to give him a few thin noodles.

"Does Lord Weng think that Dou Yingren is soft-spoken and inadequate?"

Liu Ling hurriedly shook his head. Wei Qihou said seriously. As far as I know, Wei Qihou studied Confucianism, don't you know that a gentleman is not a party? We are in the rivers and lakes, and I want to do my best to build the size, hoping to benefit the people. If mixed with other ideas. On the contrary, it will give people a handle and be self-defeating. ”

Although Dou Ying is arrogant. But people are old and fine. Liu Ling's words, he understood as soon as he heard them, and immediately turned his anger into joy. "Lord Weng is smart, and he really lives up to his reputation, but I was reckless. Lord, I don't know what I can do? ”

"There's so much you can do." Liu Ling said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Wei Qihou won't be able to look down on these last skills." Although I am not proficient in learning, I also know that Fan Chi wants to learn the garden, and Confucius denounces him as a villain. If Wei Qihou is not afraid of criticism, why not study and study the crop garden? ”

"Crop Garden?" Dou Ying frowned slightly, and was puzzled for a while. He is an old aristocrat, but Liu Ling asked him to learn such a despicable thing as a crop garden?

"Yes, although the crop is a small skill, it is about people's livelihood. As the saying goes, the king takes the people as the sky, and the people take food as the sky. One meal at a time, never separated from the crops. A soup and a drink, never leave the garden. How can you look down on them with humility? ”

Dou Ying will be skeptical.

Liu Ling didn't talk much, just persuaded to drink. Dou Ying stayed for a while and got up to say goodbye.

Liu Ling sent Dou Ying away, returned to the room, sat for a while, wrote a long letter in his hand, sent his henchmen to Liang Xiao, and personally rushed to Liang's house to explain to Liang Yuan. Although Liu Ling has not yet passed the door, Liang Yuan has already treated her as a daughter-in-law, and she agreed to Liu Ling's reminder.

——

Liang Xiao received a letter from Liu Ling in Pingyuan County.

Just two days ago, he received an edict from the imperial court and learned the result of the reward. At this moment, referring to Liu Ling's handwritten letter, he was even more clear about the thoughts of the Son of Heaven, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He knew that the mind of the Son of Heaven was backed by 2,000 years of historical experience. Liu Ling's ability to refuse Dou Ying's olive branch is really smart.

The Chen family and the Dou family want to form an alliance with them, which is simply too stupid to be stupid. A group of frustrated people get together, what else can they do but complain? Everyone does their own thing, and if something happens, they will not implicate each other, forming a joint force, but it is enough to affect the government and the opposition, which is the real royal road.

Lao Tzu He De how can he marry such a virtuous helper in the show of wisdom, and she chased after her.

Seeing Liu Ling's suggestion that Dou Ying learn the crop garden, Liang Xiao remembered the seeds he had brought back from the Western Regions. In the past two years, I have been busy fighting, and I don't have the heart to go to Zhang Luo. Now that you are going to be free, you can consider planting some radishes and watermelons, these things are all fresh, and they can be enjoyed by the royal relatives and ordinary people, which is definitely in short supply.

I don't know if those seeds will be bad after two or three years, and it is very necessary for Dongfang Shuo to send another batch back.

Hehe, if you don't let me fight and make meritorious contributions, it's not bad for me to be a fruit wholesaler. Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun were the grandsons of Zhuo Wang, and I sold melons and Hanling, which is also a historical story.

With Liu Ling presiding over housework in Chang'an, Liang Xiao was completely relieved. He put his mind on official business.

Liang Xiao met an old acquaintance: Feng Ji, a doorman of the Hu family.

The first time he saw Liang Xiao, Feng Ji's face changed, and his scalp was numb.

Liu Fei died in battle, Liu Jian ascended the throne, Hu Chengguang became the queen, the Hu family rose and became the well-deserved first hero of Jiangdu Country, and he also rose to prominence and became the middle doctor of Jiangdu Kingdom. This time, on the order of Liu Jian, he came to greet Liu Fei's coffin, and there will inevitably be a reward after he returns. He never expected that the envoy sent by the imperial court to escort Liu Fei's coffin was actually Liang Xiao.

After a few years, the young man who was almost shot to death by him has now become a famous champion in the world, what kind of doctor is he in a kingdom? From the fact that the imperial court arranged the champion county near Jiangdu Kingdom, we can know how much favor the Son of Heaven has for Liang Xiao, even if Liang Xiao finds a reason to kill him casually, I am afraid that no one can avenge him.

Feng Ji regretted it too much, he knew that this was the case, so he wouldn't come.

Looking at Feng Ji's trembling appearance, Liang Xiao knew what Feng Ji was afraid of. Although Confucianism has not yet been exalted, but it is not uncommon for the eyes to be repaid, Han Xin's release of Tu'er, Han Anguo's release of the jailer and other stories are good stories of repaying grievances with virtue, but Li Guang's killing of Baling Captain is the choice of the vast majority of Han people. Li Dare went to the trouble of the general Wei Qing, and Huo Quzhi blatantly shot Li Kang, all of which were normal reactions to this mentality.

It is normal for Feng Ji to be nervous, but it is not normal if he is not nervous.

However, Liang Xiao is not Li Guang, he will not kill Feng Ji inexplicably and give people a handle, especially when the Son of Heaven is already afraid of him.

Of course, this does not mean that he will let Feng Ji go. Feng Ji almost killed him back then, and he has always kept this hatred in his heart. But he knew better that Feng Jian was just a dog, and the real villain was Liu Jian. If you want to take revenge, you must first kill Liu Jian, Feng Jian is not worth his consideration at all.

"Doctor Feng?" Liang Xiao touched the jade sword on his waist and smiled slightly. "Don't come unharmed?"

Feng Ji's legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a plop. "Liang Junhou, the villain is guilty, the villain is guilty."

"Guilty?" Liang Xiao crooked his mouth and said casually: "What are your crimes?" ”

"The villain has eyes but no beads, and he shouldn't have been against the prince back then."

"Back then?" Liang Xiao thought about it seriously. "If you don't tell me about it back then, I can't even remember it. But then again, I should thank you. If you hadn't embarrassed me, I wouldn't have gone to Chang'an, and naturally I wouldn't be where I am today. ”

Feng Ji trembled all over his body and didn't dare to reply.

"So, I should thank you." Liang Xiao waved his hand, and Tu Niu'er understood, and let people hold two large wine urns. "Doctor Feng, this is my thank you, and I ask Doctor Feng not to be suspicious."

"How dare you, how dare you." Feng Jiqiang smiled: "Thank you for the wine." ”

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows. "If the doctor doesn't dislike it, then I'll rest assured. Dr. Feng, please drink freely. ”

Feng Ji was shocked. He looked at the two wine urns and stammered, "Prince, this ...... This ......"

"Could it be that there is wine but no meat, and the doctor can't swallow it?" Liang Xiao slapped his forehead. "By the way, when the Marquis of Wuyang broke into the king's tent, he once used a sword to cut raw meat and drink it, which is a good story. Today, Dr. Feng might as well follow the example of the sages and show his style. It's just that there is nothing here, so it's better to replace it with Dr. Feng's horse. Doctor Feng is outstanding in riding and shooting, how can such a horse be worthy of Doctor Feng. Don't worry, doctor, I'll send you a good horse later, how about it? ”

Liang Xiao said, hooking his fingers. Pang Shuo strode forward, picked up the iron knife, and slashed it down.

Feng Ji's mount didn't even have time to hiss, so it was cut into two pieces with a knife, and blood splattered. Pang Shuo swung his knife like the wind, cut off the head and tail, threw a bloody horse front leg in front of Feng Ji, and shouted: "Eat!" ”

Feng Ji's face was colorless. Fan Hao eats pork legs, a pork leg is at most seven or eight catties of meat if the bones are removed, but a horse leg is at least twenty or thirty catties, how can he eat it? Coupled with those two urns of wine, if you really want him to pour it, he will die of swelling if he is not drunk to death.

Liang Xiao is asking for his life. In the face of life and death, Feng Ji had to muster up his courage and said with a forced smile: "The prince is bad. Of course, I don't dare to compare with the Marquis of Wuyang, and the Marquis claims to be a member, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”

"Thank you Dr. Feng for your concern. But it doesn't matter, what I learned is King Xiang's Art of War, and you are not the first and will not be the last person who regards me as a disciple of King Xiang. Just say, do you eat or don't eat? ”

Liang Xiao drooped his eyelids, looked at his hands, and said lightly. Tu Niu'er and the others were not polite at all, Pang Shuo even carried a bloody iron knife and forced it in front of Feng Ji, and the horse blood slid down the iron knife and dripped on Feng Ji's face, with a fishy smell.

Feng Ji's face changed, and cold sweat was dripping.

Liang Xiao suddenly smiled. "You don't have to worry, I don't have a time limit for you, it doesn't matter if it's three days, five days, as long as you finish eating all this wine and meat. If you're bold enough to write off the grievances between us, what do you think? ”

Feng Ji hesitated for a moment. "Really?"

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase."

Feng Ji gritted his teeth and was ruthless. "Good! I just eat. ”——
