Zhuge Hui sighed: "Your Majesty also heard what Xuan Wei said just now. Liang Xiao tried to fight against the enemy's hundred cavalry single-handedly..."
"Marquis Lanling is indeed a little reckless!" Yang Ling and others sighed.
Duan Yunyi and Duan Yunxiu were speechless, and the two sisters looked worried.
In contrast, the discovery of a large iron mine did not make Zhugehui happy.
"First, let's wait for him to return to Beijing..." Duan Yunxiu hesitated.
Bashu, the residence of Gongsun family.
Gongsun Wuji knelt on the mace and read the military book.
Zhuo Mingfeng walked in from outside with a look of joy on his face.
"Wuji, there is great news, guess what!"
Gongsun Wuji put down the military book and said excitedly: "My third sister took my little sister back to Bashu??"
Zhuo Mingfeng frowned: "I asked you to guess, but I didn't ask you to make a wish. If you guess again, if you can't guess that Yu Mei and I are engaged on the first day of the first lunar month, keep guessing!"
"It's just an engagement, not a marriage ceremony. I'll make you happy." Gongsun Wuji said sarcastically.
"But Yu Mei and I can be husband and wife. When your third sister and younger sister come back, it won't be too late for us to hold a make-up wedding." Zhuo Mingfeng looked calm.
Gongsun Wuji looked depressed: "Then the question is, what should I do so that my third sister can bring my little sister back?"
Zhuo Mingfeng curled his lips and said, "When you sleep at night, raise your pillow higher."
Gongsun Wuji resisted the urge to kick Zhuo Mingfeng, and gritted his teeth and said: "I have to inform them both about the engagement as soon as possible. Maybe there is a chance to trick the little girl over!"
Several letters from home were sent from Bashu to the capital.
At Lanling Bookstore, a large number of books were published one after another and delivered to the Dachu families who ordered them.
Surplus books were shipped across the country specifically to impact the family book industry.
Everyone in the Duanmu family gathered at home, extremely depressed.
The salt merchants they controlled were effectively wiped out by the Great Zhou Law, and selling illegal salt was a serious crime.
The pastry shop was occupied by Dingguo Houfu and was unable to fight back.
The Duanmu family supported the Gongyang family's wine business in the capital, but it was also slowly and fatally suppressed by Liang Xiao, with profits close to zero.
Now, the empress has specially issued an edict, telling the world that the price of Liang Xiao's books should not exceed 200 liters, which will benefit the country and the people and will be tax-free.
On the surface, this edict announced tax exemption, but in fact it told the people of the Zhou Dynasty that future books would only require 200 Chinese characters.
This is a proper dismantling of their family's book business, ensuring that before Liang Xiao's books arrive, they will not be allowed to continue selling high-priced books, so that Liang Xiao can make a profit.
"Should we consider starting a new business?" Duanmu Yuncheng said with a grim smile.
Everyone in the Duanmu family nodded slightly, but they were unable to do anything.
The Tuoba family was suddenly convicted and forced to donate four million taels of silver. At present, other companies do not dare to act rashly for fear of suffering disaster.
"As long as the thief Liang Xiao is still in the capital, we have no possibility of getting rid of him!" Duanmu Yunqing clenched his fists with an angry look on his face.
Liang Xiao once had his fiancée stolen from him and was the biggest loser.
Nowadays, Liang Xiao is rising to the top, calling the shots in the capital, how majestic and majestic he is!
On the other hand, the two brothers felt quite ruined, so they still had to thank Liang Xiao.
The talented and beautiful people in the capital don't care about their "Double Dragon" of the Duanmu family.
Some people privately called them "Double Insects". The couple he and Nangong Ning had become the laughing stock of the people in the capital!
Once upon a time, he even had the fantasy that in the future he could become the Prince Consort of the Great Zhou Dynasty, or even the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his name would go down in history.
Now everything is in vain.
"The Jibei Rangers are already on their way to intercept Liang Xiao. If everything goes well, they may be able to kill him!" Duanmu Cao had a stern face from beginning to end, with a sinister look in his eyes.
Because of Liang Xiao and Duan Yunyi, the Duanmu family almost cut off all profit-making industries, especially the salt industry.
After setting off from the capital for a month and a half, Liang Xiao's motorcade finally returned to the capital without any danger, breaking the Duanmu family's illusions.
After bathing and changing clothes, Liang Xiao put on the official uniform he had given to him and entered the palace to meet the emperor.
"Brother Xiao~"
In the imperial study room, Duan Yunxiu blushed, holding Liang Xiao's arm and sitting with him.
Duan Yunyi looked at the two of them with a look of relief.
Only Zhuge Hui looked complicated and hesitated to speak.
After Liang Xiao's report was over, Zhuge Hui couldn't help but said: "Liang Xiao, I heard that you were single-handed and wanted to fight the enemy with at least a hundred cavalry?"
Liang Xiao nodded with a smile and said: "Prime Minister, don't be nervous. I know how much I weigh. Even if they all have the level of Yanyun's Eighteen Riders, they still can't keep me."
Zhuge Hui said angrily: "Every man stumbles and a horse stumbles! You are familiar with military books and proficient in martial arts. How can you not understand the dangers of the battlefield? Moreover, you promised me that you will never let His Majesty and His Highness be wronged!" "
"Ah?" The two sisters looked at the old man and the young man together.
Liang Xiao said calmly: "This time I am really worried that they will approach the convoy and harm Qin Xue and the third lady of the Gongsun family. Otherwise, we can defend in place. I just went to observe the situation first. I have good eyes and can see far. "
Zhuge Hui became even more displeased: "If you die young, what will your highness and the others do?"
they?
When Duan Yunyi heard this, his heart was in chaos.
She knew who else Zhuge Hui was referring to.
"I will be careful next time, Prime Minister, don't be angry." Liang Xiao immediately promised, patting his chest.
"I don't want to be noisy all the time. I just want to remind you one last time that you are bound to the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty and cannot take risks easily." Zhuge Hui said seriously.
Liang Xiao nodded repeatedly and kept repeating "Be sure to pay attention", sighing in his heart.
This old prime minister doesn't even care about his grandson that much.
Zhuge Hui nodded, but he was still unhappy.
The two sisters couldn't help laughing when they saw it.
After Liang Xiao returned, Zhuge Hui sighed: "Your Majesty! If he listens to the advice for a while, there is no guarantee that he will not lead the troops to charge into the battle in the future. The old minister is not just worried now, he is simply afraid. But I can't bear to always hit him. Full of passion, lest he go to the battlefield and hesitate, which would be counterproductive!"
"Then what does the Prime Minister think should be done..." Duan Yunyi sighed.
Zhuge Hui said earnestly: "Maybe my idea is utilitarian, but it is urgent to continue the royal family, and the Liang family cannot have no heirs. You know, Liang Xiao's father died in the war at a young age. Fortunately, there is still a posthumous son like Liang Xiao!" Taking advantage of Tuoba's conviction and the meritorious service of Liang Xiao and Yan Yun's Eighteenth Cavalry, Your Majesty should have a good chat with His Highness. I will retire..."
After the two sisters watched Zhuge Hui leave, they looked at each other in silence.
Looking at his sister who was already blushing with embarrassment, Duan Yunyi's eyes were full of love and his heart softened.
Now she is the only close relative I have!
After a long time, Duan Yunyi said quietly: "The Prime Minister is right, the royal family and the Lanling Marquis Mansion must not exclude the queen. My sister has issued an edict to grant a marriage to you and Qin Xue. You can marry him together... From now on, he will He is the only consort in the Zhou Dynasty."
Duan Yunxiu was embarrassed and happy, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Sister, what should you do?"
Duan Yunyi was stunned: "What does this have to do with sister!"
"Where's my sister's marriage certificate?" Duan Yunxiu asked.
"Burn!" Duan Yunyi said with a guilty conscience.
"Does the man in the engagement have a marriage certificate?" Duan Yunxiu asked tentatively.
Duan Yunyi could only bite the bullet and said: "Of course not! My father asked my sister to make her own decision on this matter. You don't have to worry, the engagement has been cancelled..."
Duan Yunxiu seemed to have made up his mind and said: "That's great~ Sister, why don't you issue an edict to recruit Brother Xiao as the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty? We sisters, plus Sister Qinxue and Xiaoyun, let's marry him together!"
The room was eerily quiet.
Even Feiyun, the commander of Xuanwei, was petrified on the spot.
