When the minister on the scene saw Liang Xiao's words, he couldn't help but fall silent.

Duanmu Yuncheng and Duanmu Yunqing's father, Duanmu Cao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, glanced at each other with his brother Duanmu Jie, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and their eyes were full of anger.

Yesterday, they had already learned about the matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and at this time, Duan Yunyi took out Liang Xiao's ink treasure to show it, and its intention was self-evident.

Duan Yunyi, who was on the dragon chair, looked down at the ministers, saw everyone's reactions, and couldn't help but be disappointed in his heart.

"The right prime minister was ordered to hold a tasting banquet and returned with a full load. I am a scholar who worries about the country and the people, and the spirit still exists, and I know that the barbarians are jackals, and they cannot be reconciled, and I am very relieved! What do you think, how is this poem written? ”

The ministers replied one after another: "Every word is exquisite, it is wonderful!" ”

Duan Yunyi stared at the two brothers Duanmu Jie and Duanmu Cao again, and asked, "Why didn't the two Duanmu Qing families say a word?" ”

Duanmu Cao stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, the ministers always believe that the barbarians only need to be gentle, and they should not act rashly, the disaster of moving the capital seventeen years ago, the destruction of life, is vivid!" If my Great Zhou is cut off from a friendly passage with the barbarians because of this, I am afraid that I will ......"

"Duanmu Qing's family is wrong, the disaster of moving the capital back then, the root cause of it, is precisely because of the tiger breeding, the Beihu people purchased my Dazhou iron tools and grain, to develop and grow, take advantage of the weakness. The north is empty, and it is the military department that is derelict in its duties! After Duan Yunyi finished speaking, he stared at Nangong Lei, the secretary of the military department.

Nangong Lei Khan rained down and tried his best to justify.

"The ministers have done their best, but the front-line combat is not effective, and the Marquis of Lanling has self-respect and does not listen to the dispatch! Now Liang Xiao, the son of the Marquis of Lanling, is talking about the main battle again, and the devil confuses the public! ”

Duan Yunyi said impatiently: "This set of rhetoric, the emperor and I have heard it countless times. I discussed with Prime Minister You and others that we should completely cut off the trade channels with Beihu, strictly prohibit the smuggling of Beihu, and implement it today! ”

More than half of the ministers trembled.

It wasn't until the people led by Zhuge Hui called for Shengming that they knelt down and praised.

Duan Yunyi returned to the imperial study, and his sister Duan Yunsleeve had been waiting here for a long time.

"Officialdom is far more sinister than shopping malls, but time is running out, sister, you bring Liang Xiao to see me as soon as possible, and we will train him to become a pillar of Da Zhou as soon as possible." Well, there's also the Great Zhou Horse. ”

Duan Yunsleeve originally looked happy, but when he heard the last sentence, his face turned red again, and he glanced at Duan Yunyi with resentment.

Duanmu Cao returned home, with a gloomy face, and recounted the events of the late dynasty to his two sons.

Duanmu Yuncheng said angrily: "You didn't even give me Duanmu family face, and showed Liang Xiao's poems in public? This faint king's good days are coming to an end! When Beihu enters the Central Plains, my Duanmu family is still the pillar of the imperial court, and their sisters are destined to be slaves and maids! ”

On this day, Liang Xiao began to arrange workshop workers to make new products from white sugar.

One hundred workers were very busy, and their families also took the initiative to clean Liang Xiao's workshop and residence.

The treatment that Liang Xiao gave them had already made them decide to swear allegiance to this boss.

But Liang Xiao was not in a hurry to recruit displaced people.

He was waiting for the next batch of five thousand taels of sugar cane.

The Dingguo Marquis Mansion promised to cooperate with him, but he didn't know how far it could be implemented.

The quantity of this batch of sugar cane will determine how many workers his sugar mill will need in the future.

As for the homeless, there is never a shortage of people in Dazhou......

In the evening, Zhuge Hui's grandson, Zhuge Cheng, came to visit Liang Xiao and sent him a roster of the imperial court, which also roughly recorded the relationship between officials.

Zhuge Cheng sighed: "My grandfather knows that you have no intention of being an official for the time being, but you still need to know about the affairs of the government and the opposition, so as not to offend too many ministers in the future and affect your business." ”

Liang Xiao put away the roster and wanted to entertain Zhuge Cheng, but Zhuge Cheng politely refused.

After sending Zhuge Cheng away, Liang Xiao praised Jiang Fuxue: "The Zhuge family style is very strict, which is admirable. ”

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhuge Yun was giving a, and Grandpa Zhuge Hui and other elders were sitting on the side, listening with relish.

After Zhuge Yun stopped, Zhuge Hui asked, "Xiao Yun, your flute sound today is different from usual...... Do you have something on your mind? ”

Zhuge Yun hesitated for a moment before he muttered, "Does Grandpa think Liang Xiao is very good?" ”

Zhuge Hui was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Then you have lived in Jiangnan for a long time, how do you think he is better than those talents in Jiangnan?" ”

Zhuge Yun hesitated and said: "There were also many well-known talents in Jiangnan who attended the meeting yesterday, such as Qin Baili. But I can see that grandpa's evaluation of Liang Xiao must be above them! I also think Liang Xiao is very good, right? ”

Zhuge Hui nodded and said, "This son has a promising future." Aren't you, have a crush on him? ”

"Ahhh Not at all! Someone has already taken a fancy to him, and I just think he's really good......"

Looking at his granddaughter who was suddenly embarrassed, Zhuge Hui felt helpless.

The children of the later generation are long, and he actually doesn't want to interfere.

But considering that the current situation of the Great Zhou is in danger, he is optimistic that Liang Xiao will become the emperor of the Great Zhou, and even almost broke the princess's heart for this.

It is better to make Liang Xiao the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty than to one day the empress to the north as a vassal, or even to become the concubine of the kings of Beihu or the Great Chu Emperor in humiliation.

Since ancient times, beauties love young people, Zhuge Yun's good impression of Liang Xiao, how can he not see it?

Thankfully, it's just a good feeling now.

Extinguish this Nizi's good impression of Liang Xiao? I really can't bear it!

Zhuge Cheng, who was only present, was stunned, and said excitedly: "Grandpa, I also think that Liang Xiao is a very good person, maybe he can really tie the knot with Xiao Yun in the future......"

"Big brother, you're talking again!!" Zhuge Yun slapped Zhuge Cheng's arm in shame, and the elders on the scene smiled.

Zhuge Hui saw it in his eyes, thinking of Mu Qinxue and Duan Yunsleeve, and suddenly one head and two big.

Why did this girl come from Jiangnan to the capital in a good manner......

At night, Liang Xiao's house ushered in several uninvited guests.

"Mrs. Mu?"

Seeing Mrs. Mu standing in front of Mu Qinxue and Mu Lingxiao, Liang Xiao looked surprised.

She used to be quite disgusted with herself, and she didn't want to have too much intersection with her daughter.

"Liang Xiao, I'm here to apologize to you, I really didn't expect that you just didn't meet you, and you have the heart to serve the country......"

Mrs. Mu said, and bowed to Liang Xiao with a look of shame.

Liang Xiao was taken aback and hurriedly invited the three of them into the mansion.

"Mrs. Mu loves her daughter very much, of course I can understand it, I don't have to blame myself."

Mu Lingxiao and Mu Qinxue sat on Mrs. Mu's left and right, each with their own concerns.

At this time, Mu Qinxue smiled on the surface, and her heart was already happy.

After her wife learned about Liang Xiao's performance at the banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she completely changed her opinion of Liang Xiao, although she did not express her support for the old man's decision to match, but also expressed her respect for her daughter's own choice, and asked to visit Liang Xiao once.

After all, his wife is also from a civilian family.
