"So your name is Dongfang Shuo, what a good name!"
The meeting between Zhang Xuezhou and Sima Xiangru was not a happy encounter between old acquaintances. Sima Xiangru was blind and completely regarded Zhang Xuezhou as an admired fan.
What Sima Xiangru didn't expect was that this fan had some skills and actually passed the palace examination and got into Liang Yuan.
"It has always been women who admire Wen Qing, but I didn't expect men to do the same." The woman next to Sima Xiangru covered her mouth and laughed.
"There is no distinction between men and women in piano skills. Men can admire me, and it is normal for women to admire me," Sima Xiangru explained after coughing several times.
"But there are many women who admire you, and many women want to be your concubines!"
"Wenjun, this kind of thing is normal. Besides, I have never accepted a concubine until now. You should be able to rest assured about my character!"
Sima Xiangru had a smile on his face, and he patiently explained to the woman next to him when he frequently returned gifts to Zhang Xuezhou.
"This is the lowly Zhuo Wenjun," Sima Xiangru said.
"I have admired you all for a long time, Wenjun," Zhang Xuezhou said, "If Mr. Xiangru doesn't mind, I would like to be under your skirt."
"Being under the skirt, what do you mean? Don't you admire me?" Sima Xiangru frowned.
"Yes, I admire you, but I also admire everyone, Wenjun," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"You can't be so ridiculous. You should know that there are differences between men and women. You are openly invading the relationship between husband and wife." Sima Xiangru said displeased: "I am very concerned about this!"
"This kind of thing is actually normal," Zhuo Wenjun said with a smile.
"It's not normal. It's a wolfish ambition to spy on a man's wife and daughter. This is an evil deed," Sima Xiangru retorted.
"Where's the spying husband?"
Zhuo Wenjun asked, which made Sima Xiangru speechless.
He obviously had double standards in dealing with this matter.
"Sima Xiangru was actually embarrassed!"
Guests in Liang Garden can step on stones and other objects to watch the interviews of guest officials in Prince Liang's Mansion, and Prince Liang's Mansion can also see guests in Liang Garden.
The King of Liang looked lifeless and morbid. He was holding a cylindrical magic weapon and looking at the Liang Garden separated by a wall. A rare smile appeared on his face.
"He is indeed a wonderful man. Take me to see the traces of that magic!"
King Liang hooked his little finger, and two attendants quickly stepped forward and helped King Liang get down from his seat.
When a soft sedan chair was carried over, King Liang was also carried up.
Amidst the creaking sound of the sedan being carried, King Liang rested his head on the side of the sedan, as if he was asleep.
"'I love King Liang'"
The Fossil Technique is not a great ability, but using the Fossil Technique in reverse to turn stone into dust is an incredible ability.
If ever there was a prison that needed breaking out, this is the rare talent.
King Liang was woken up by someone and looked at the four characters on the marble. The first thing that came to his mind was how to use this kind of person to unleash his talents, and then he looked at the content of the four characters.
He read.
"Brother also said this back then!"
His eyes were blank, and then he looked at the few people following closely behind him.
"King Liang, King Jichuan, King Jidong, King Shanyang, King Jiyin!"
King Liang read another sentence, which caused several people behind King Liang to kneel down.
"I don't dare!" Everyone shouted in unison.
"Brother loves me. Before I die, he has already made the five of you kings and fiefs," Wang Liang said.
"Father, why is the court's decree like this?" someone asked.
"Because brother loves me and has made plans for everything for me." King Liang said with a dead look on his face: "Brother has done everything so well that I can't say it's good, but why do I feel that something is wrong!"
The friendship of holding hands many times still exists, and King Liang even got the guarantee of Emperor Jing's oath.
Therefore, King Liang followed Emperor Jing wholeheartedly.
"I'm obviously capable of becoming an emperor. I'm obviously blessed by heaven. I shouldn't be like this. My brother said that I am the only one who can help the Han Kingdom. My mother also..."
In a low murmur, King Liang looked at the four words on the ground and thought a lot.
But the more he thought about it, the less he understood.
Everything was just because he died in front.
Emperor Jing could still endure it, but he couldn't.
Under normal circumstances, he would have died two years ago, but he relied on his skills to survive until now.
But the Nine Turns Aiki Technique cannot guarantee that he will never die.
King Liang was drowsy and thoughtful, thinking about many things. When he looked in the direction of Chang'an City, he couldn't help but have a little delusion in his heart.
"With the luck of an emperor and the longevity of the Yellow Emperor, if my brother gives way to me at this time, I will definitely be able to extend my life for twenty years. But I can't bear it after my brother gives way!"
To perform the duties of an emperor as a vassal king, the skills used by King Liang undoubtedly exceeded his own scope.
"If I want to take a peek at the opportunity of the Han Dynasty, it seems that I can take a peek after I take office. At that time, I..."
King Liang fell into drowsy thinking, but the more he thought about it, the more confused his mind became.
"Brother treats me very well, but why does this kindness make me what I am today?"
King Liang couldn't figure it out.
He touched himself and began to show his old appearance, and pointed at Liang Yuan.
"Bring that Dongfang Shuo here!"
Drowsy and confused to the point of lack of thinking, King Liang wanted to refresh himself.
But now he is no longer the same person as before, and behaviors such as hanging his head from the beam are no longer suitable for him.
Sima Xiangru's music was very beautiful, but after listening to it over and over again, it was like the useless elixirs he had taken, and the music had nothing new to the King of Liang.
He really needs someone who can make him laugh at the moment, which can refresh him as much as possible and allow him to think clearly about some issues.
The guest minister recruited by the officials today is obviously interesting. King Liang hopes that the guest can show some ability to refresh himself, even if it is just a mouth.
Compared with an official who abides by his superiority and submissiveness, a guest who lacks restraint and speaks freely may bring a bit of freshness to him.
He waved his hand, and everyone responded.
The soft sedan was carried into the palace, and when King Liang lay on the golden throne again, his eyes narrowed slightly at Zhang Xuezhou, who had choked Sima Xiangru before.
"You still won't kneel down when you see the king!"
When the attendant's reminder came, Zhang Xuezhou danced his sleeves and bowed to Prince Liang.
"What kind of gift is this?" King Liang asked.
"I heard that when a sage meets a wise king, he behaves like a gentleman. This allows the sage not to succumb to the power of the king and to talk to the king in a normal way!"
Zhang Xuezhou thought about the tolerance of King Liang towards Liang Yuanke, and Zhuo Wenjun's low-key hint of goodwill, which made Zhang Xuezhou focus on good things to say.
He compared himself to sages, but he also put King Liang in the position of a sage king.
This obviously made King Liang very satisfied. He hooked his little finger and asked the attendant to step down.
"Gongsun Gui said you love me," King Liang asked.
"Who in the Liang Kingdom doesn't love the king?" Zhang Xuezhou replied.
He pointed at the attendant who just told him to kneel down, and then asked.
"Do you love the king?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"Your Majesty..."
"You don't love me?" Zhang Xuezhou said in surprise.
"I love it, I love the king, I love the king very much!"
The attendant kept a straight face and expressed his loyalty repeatedly.
Although this kind of question is embarrassing, if he dares to say that he doesn't love her today, the position will not be his tomorrow.
If bad luck makes King Liang unhappy, it is not impossible for him to lose his head.
Accordingly, he responded repeatedly after Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"Father, we love you!"
"Your Majesty, we love you too!"
When King Liang glanced slightly, all his sons and officials suddenly shouted in unison.
"Funny, ridiculous!"
King Liang sighed in his heart.
It is normal for people like Zhang Xuezhou to say such things. After all, the other party is a guest who pleases the king of Liang. However, when the sons spoke to the officials, it was just a statement.
King Liang didn't like this kind of coping attitude very much, and he didn't like the cautious and fearful attitude of these people even more.
"Don't worry, I won't drag you with me when I die!"
King Liang spoke calmly.
After he said this, an idea came to his mind, and he seemed to have figured out something.
