Zhuge Yun, who was pursing his lips and smirking, heard the call, and suddenly froze, and his eyes were misty.

"Xiao, Brother Xiao......"

Liang Xiao then walked in front of her and sat down.

Looking at Yiren again, dignified and demure, with teary eyes, looking at himself infatuatedly, there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes.

"When did you return to Beijing, why didn't you tell us earlier?" Liang Xiao was a little ashamed.

In Duan Yunchou's family letter, there was no mention of Zhuge Yun's return.

Zhuge Yun lowered his head and snorted: "I'm afraid of disturbing Brother Xiao, and then, I want to surprise Brother Xiao......"

Liang Xiao was stunned, and then laughed.

This girl has become a court lady.

Zhuge Yun's heart was like a deer at the moment.

After she came back, she learned that Duan Yunchong was already pregnant with Liang Xiao's child.

Such a fearless second sister made her shocked and couldn't help admiring.

Fortunately, they are righteous sisters......

However, Mu Qinxue and Duan Yunsleeve were both sending charcoal in the snow when Liang Xiao was at the end of his life, and he didn't give Liang Xiao much help.

"I heard Yun Sleeve say that the latest edition of the "Chronicles of the Great Zhou" is the one you are responsible for revising and annotating." Liang Xiao exclaimed.

He just flipped through the new edition of the poems in the West Palace Palace, and also included his poems, including the relatively new "Compassion for Nong", which is quite well annotated, easy to understand at the same time, it should also be quite interesting for people to learn and memorize.

Zhuge Yun's beautiful eyes lit up, and she said softly: "It's not as good as Brother Xiao's mainstay." ”

Liang Xiao said: "Humility as always. ”

Zhuge Yunqiao's face was slightly red, and her heart was sweet.

She had already quietly asked her grandfather if she could marry Liang Xiao.

But she hopes that she can make meritorious contributions to the people of the country, so as not to insult him.

The two reunited after a long absence, and discussed Liang Xiao's latest poems in the courtyard, such as "Shu Jian".

At this time, Zhuge Hui was in the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, looking at the information sent from all over the country, and his brows were tightly locked.

"Some state and county officials have colluded with local wealthy families to ban newspapers from entering the local area, presumably because they are afraid of the propaganda effect of newspapers. Even if His Majesty promulgates the edict to the world, it may not be able to make all the people understand the contents. ”

Zhuge Cheng nodded and said: "There are still many people in states and counties who are kept in the dark, but I am afraid that those families will pull the root of the people's hardship on him and try their best to discredit him." ”

Zhuge Hui bowed slightly, his eyes burning.

He has been in the country for 40 years and is well versed in the darkness of officialdom.

What Zhuge Cheng said is quite light.

But the imperial court could not control every corner of the country.

Now Zhuge Hui can understand more and more why Liang Xiao advocated that the capital should instruct the expansion of the army, and then the capital where the Son of Heaven is located will supervise the distribution of military salaries in various places.

The first step is to ensure that the military is sufficient, and that the army is not instigated by local officials, and then these troops can serve as a deterrent to the local wealthy clans.

It is not uncommon for the imperial power to not be lower than the county, and most places below the county level still need to rely on local clan autonomy.

This is also the reason why Duan Yunyi is not in a hurry to promote the national policies of spreading the land into the mu and paying the grain in one body.

If you want to hurry, these policies will offend the interests of too many people, and you must first ensure the stability of the regime, and the emperor must first firmly control the national army.

If Liang Xiao wants to break through Beihu and even enter the desert, it will take a certain amount of time, and by then, the armies from all over the country should also be recruited and trained, and it will be a matter of course.

But in practice, I'm afraid it's still difficult.

"Great achievements, great achievements, those families are afraid and will not sit idly by and watch him continue to make contributions. When the rumors of the fall of the Tuoba clan have passed, their offensive will return. Zhuge Cheng said worriedly.

Higashino Hongji has already gone to the capital to take up his post.

Liang Xiao once told Higashino Hongji that if nothing else, he would be a Tobe squire.

But the unexpected happened.

Duan Yunyi consulted with a group of old ministers, and after asking Liang Xiao again, he appointed Dongye Hongji as the head of the household.

This is one level higher than Tobe Shilang, and the purpose is precisely so that the Dongye clan can assist Liang Xiao and Zhuge Hui as soon as possible and suppress the family.

Dongye Hongji was flattered, symbolically resigned, and finally took office, swore to take Zhuge Hui as an example, bowed to death, and even took the initiative to apply for Xuanwei guardianship and report daily.

Higashino Hongji's reasoning was well received by Duan Yunyi and the old ministers, and his son and some of the people were also assigned to serve as officials in various parts of the capital, doing their best.

But it's still not enough, after the Dongye clan was suppressed by the Duanmu family, its vitality was greatly damaged, and the difference between the background and the great family was not a little bit worse, and it was difficult to grow quickly in a year or two.

"There is a long way to go, Liang Xiao." Zhuge Hui also sighed.

But at this moment, Liang Xiaokai returned to Beijing with good news, and the grandfather and grandson couldn't bear to let him worry about these things.

Liang Xiao took Zhuge Yun to the West Palace Villa.

In the courtyard, Zhuge Yun sat around Xiahou Qingyi and Diana, you look at me, I look at her, each with their own thoughts.

How do you feel that the two opposite sides have thoughts about him?

This was the idea that came to the minds of the three girls at the same time.

Fortunately, Zhuge Yun and Diana are both more talkative, Xiahou Qingyi is quiet and peaceful, and instead of writing, he will not reveal his thoughts, and the three of them quickly chatted together.

Only the empress Duan Yunyi sat alone in the imperial study, gloomy and sad.

"Humph! The hateful Aiqing ......"

The resentment in Duan Yunyi's eyes couldn't be hidden.

Why, he is so popular with the girls!

In the room, Duan Yunsleeve leaned on Liang Xiao's arms, smiling happily.

Diana, as the newly promoted rich woman of Da Zhou, will support his career.

Zhuge Yun can share Liang Xiao's worries in literature.

Even Xiahou Qingyi is trying to protect Jiang Fuxue.

The sisters worked spontaneously and loved him.

"Brother Xiao is the only seedling of the Lanling Marquis Mansion, but he wants to ......"

Duan Yun's sleeves were staggered, and his face was red.

She knew that Liang Xiao felt sorry for her and didn't want to always let her bear the risk of childbirth.

This is what Liang Xiao vaguely revealed when chatting with her.

She wanted to say that she wanted to have more children with Liang Xiao, but she was afraid that he would feel sorry for her.

That's right, let the sisters work harder, anyway, this villain is getting bad and boundless......

In the afternoon, Duan Yunyi sent off those ministers of the family who advised Liang Xiao to ascend to the top before returning to the West Palace Annex.

Looking at the three girls who saluted him, the resentment in Duan Yunyi's eyes became a little more serious.

Everyone followed her in to visit Duan Yunchong.

Duan Yunsleeve glanced at Liang Xiao and said, "Sister, tomorrow is the day to go to the National Temple to pray, I can't go, can you take Brother Xiao and the four of them there?" ”

Duan Yunyi understood, nodded and said, "It's okay......"

Bashu, a paradise.

An old man in a lily robe sat by the river, fishing alone.

He had gray hair, but he was tall and energetic, and he watched the fish of the river.

The eyes are like torches, and the heroic spirit between the eyebrows is fully displayed, as if telling the courage of the year.

He was whispering a thought.

"That shameless stinky boy...... Hmm, my baby Xiao'er, have you withdrawn from the marriage of the Nangong family and married my two granddaughters? ”
