Chapter 134: Nine Clans Elimination?
Liang Xiao stared at the portrait of the ancestor, and his heart was turbulent.
If you add a little wrinkles to the portrait of the ancestor, and add a little gray hair, the demeanor will be a little more vicissitudes...... That's more like the old man!
Looking at Gaozu and Shizu again, as well as the empress sisters in front of them, how can they be half similar?
Duan Yunyi and Duan Yunsleeve, eyebrows, eyes, and nose bridge are similar to Shizu, and they are also quite similar to the old man......
"Is this ancestor's biological father ......?"
Liang Xiao almost suffocated.
This bad old man faked his death and retired, and he swore not to mention his relationship with him outside, and even more swore allegiance to the royal family...... Liang Xiao seemed to understand.
It's not good, this is the big sin of the "Nine Clans Elimination", and his apprentice will not escape death!
But another question soon popped up in Liang Xiao's heart.
He was brought up by an old man, and he knew the old man's temperament very well.
It is undeniable that the old man is as brazen as he is on weekdays, but he is a martial saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and according to historical records, his person is highly respected and upright, how can he do such a thing as cuckolding Gaozu?
The old man loves to drink, but the wine is excellent, as long as he is drunk, he will fall asleep, and when he is not drunk, his mind is quite clear, and the possibility of drunken disorder is ruled out first.
The ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is said to have been born to Empress Chen.
That Great Zhou Gaozu is very in love with his original partner, Queen Chen.
The old man talked to him the most on weekdays, all he said was nostalgia for Gaozu, but he didn't have any guilt, and he never mentioned Empress Chen to him, it didn't look like Gaozu was green.
Empress Chen and the old man are also not related by blood.
Because the old man's surname is Liang, he is the clan brother of Liang Xiao's grandfather, and the blood relationship is slightly farther away than his cousins, but he is also a fellow clan who grew up under the same roof.
Before the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Liang family suffered a catastrophe, leaving only the old man and Liang Xiao's grandfather to follow the Great Zhou Gaozu to fight in the south and the north, respectively, achieving the prestige of the Great Zhou Wusheng and the Marquis of Lanling.
A portrait made Liang Xiao realize that this matter was quite unusual and that there might be something else hidden.
If Sejo is really the son of an old man...... Aren't these two sisters still distant relatives who have been so lost with themselves?
Taking care of his two granddaughters is even more deserved?
"Xiao'er, you memorized it for me. After going to the capital, if the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion is disrespectful to you, you will immediately divorce Nangong Ning, understand no! β
Liang Xiao's mind came alive, and he suddenly remembered that before he went down the mountain, the old man specially told him this three times, and because he was confused and asked why, he kicked his ass.
Now it seems that this bad old man is very bad, but he does love him deeply......
It's just that the current situation is unknown, and Liang Xiao knows that he really can't rashly mention the old man's name.
Maybe the empress and Prime Minister Zhuge have already guessed it, and they have to deal with it according to the situation.
"Brother Xiao?"
Duan Yunsleeve's call pulled Liang Xiao's thoughts back, and he looked at the sisters in front of him again, with mixed feelings.
"Alas, there's really no way to take this bad old man, who made me his heir." Someone is not in the slightest aware of his shamelessness.
The empress, who was originally solemn, suddenly found that Liang Xiao's eyes became different from usual, and she gradually became a little uncomfortable being stared at by him.
"Liang Aiqing?"
Liang Xiao realized that he might have lost his temper, and smiled apologetically: "I was suddenly invited to visit the Taimiao, and the minister was really flattered. β
Duan Yunyi told him several times that he didn't have to bow and kneel to her in private, which made him feel good.
"Since you are here, you also worship the emperor and the ancestors." Duan Yunyi urged.
Liang Xiao turned over and bowed, with a solemn expression.
Duan Yunyi saw it in his eyes, and his heart was mixed.
Facing Liang Xiao's gaze just now, the majesty she had finally regained was almost gone.
Zhuge Hui also said that Liang Xiao praised her in private......
Duan Yunsleeve on the side looked at Liang Xiao deeply, and a little shyness appeared on his pretty face.
The moment Liang Xiao entered the Taimiao, he was already destined to be the Great Zhou concubine appointed by the imperial sister.
When she and Liang Xiao first met, they felt that this teenager was extraordinary, and he always gave herself an inexplicable sense of security and trust.
The two sisters faced the civil and military officials, and they felt a sense of suffocation that they were powerless to return to the sky.
After Liang Xiao appeared, this feeling of suffocation disappeared without a trace.
After knowing each other for a long time, she has become more and more fond of Liang Xiao in her heart, but considering that he is her sister's one-way fiancΓ©, even if her imperial sister proposes that she and Mu Qinxue be married, she has never dared to face this favor.
It wasn't until Liang Xiao made a generous statement in the Prime Minister's Mansion and mentioned in public that he wanted to give her the poem to serve the country and Mingzhi, at that moment, in fact, she even thought about the name of the child in the future......
This guy is sometimes a little cheeky, but that's fun!
The three people in the temple have their own hearts.
After Liang Xiao got up, Duan Yunsleeve could no longer suppress his admiration, and said affectionately: "With someone like Brother Xiao, there is hope for Da Zhou~"
"Not bad." Duan Yunyi said.
Liang Xiao said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the peaceful and prosperous world cannot be achieved by one person, and it is inseparable from the unity of the subjects of the Great Zhou, and the ministers dare not be proud of their achievements." I hope that Your Majesty can treat the soldiers well, reasonably improve their treatment and status, and let them be proud to join the army in the future. After the opening of the Chen's Bookstore, the threshold for all the people in the world to study was greatly reduced, and the imperial examination could effectively break the status quo of the family's monopoly on official positions in the future. β
Duan Yunyi nodded, smiled with relief, and saw that Liang Xiao saw that he was temporarily distracted, and his heart was in turmoil, and he hurriedly said: "Gu Pingxiu is full of praise for your method of training Yanyun's eighteen horsemen, and the prime minister also approves of it, I have the heart to select two hundred elites from the good family of Yulin Junliang in the capital, and give you a small test, so that you can prove yourself, when you are ready, let Xuanwei report to me." β
After Liang Xiao thanked him, Duan Yunyi looked at the portraits of Gaozu and Shizu again, as if talking to himself.
"As you said, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the foundation was unstable, and it was all up to a few old ministers to maintain stability. Liang Aiqing, what is the future of Da Zhou in your eyes? β
Liang Xiao said solemnly: "Naturally, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, the army and the people are united, and the people no longer have to worry about needing Yizi to eat one day." If you want to fight for the prosperity of Qingping, you must fight outside and inside, and there will be a war with foreign races, and those warlords have to guard against it. Your Majesty must not be careless about the improvement of the salt administration's revenue. β
"I hope you can also guard against arrogance and rashness, after all, you promise to walk with me on this road, let the emperor see, the Great Zhou is prosperous, and the expulsion of Hu Lu is just around the corner......"
After Duan Yunyi agreed, he felt a lot of emotion.
She originally wanted to use the topic to remind Liang Xiao to guard against arrogance and rashness, but she didn't expect that it was Liang Xiao who reminded her first.
He didn't seem to be burdened by the sudden fame, status, and wealth, and acted as steadyly as ever.
In addition to being relieved, Duan Yunyi asked in a rare soft voice, "Then do you have any other suggestions for me?" It doesn't hurt to be straight. β
Liang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty should smile often, it is good for your body." β
What he cares about is his health?
Duan Yunyi was speechless for a moment, pursed his lips slightly, and said, "As long as the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are getting better and better, I will naturally smile and open my mouth......"
Liang Xiao bowed slightly, and couldn't help but have a little more respect for the empress in front of him.
It is rare for the kings of the Great Three Dynasties to be able to put the people first.
After the worship ended, Duan Yunyi was about to leave Liang Xiao to eat in the palace, but Xuanwei came to report urgently.
"Lord, the third lady of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Yue, on behalf of the generalissimo of Bashu, is here!"
