The emperor was so amused and laughed.●⌒,. As smart as him, how could he not see what the Huainan King Liu An was planning? He just wanted to take the opportunity to sell a few Miliyans and make a fortune. At the same time, he also hinted that Miliyans could not be given away for nothing, and he had to spend money to buy them.

The little family is angry! While the emperor secretly despises him, he can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The King of Huainan sold the clairvoyance to the kings at a high price, which is better than giving him as a gift to others and colluding with the kings.

"Go and have a look and make a decision." The emperor leaned back without saying a word.

Sima Tan received the order and went downstairs. The King of Huainan ordered people to push Qianliyan to the window and face the distant Nanshan, asking Sima Tan to see himself. He couldn't see the stars in broad daylight, so he had to use Nanshan as his target. Weiyang Palace is on the Dragon Shouyuan, and Sima Tan often looks at Nanshan when he is free, so the comparison is very convenient.

Sima Tan looked at it for a while and was envious. Although he didn't want to put this emotion on his face, his ability to hide his skills was not enough, and many people still saw the clues. Seeing this, others could not suppress their curiosity and went up to watch in groups of three or three. Compared to their long-standing reputation as the name of Miliga, they also heard about the refraction of light, but it was the first time to try Miliga, which was even more surprised than Sima Tan. Seeing the magnification of the landscape in the distance with their own eyes, it was as if they were in front of them, and they could not hide their mood at all. They were amazed.

Liu An was surprisingly patient. After the people who wanted to watch it, they started the real lecture. He first analyzed the differences between the two star maps and pointed out that the star map published by Sima Tan was not accurate enough. It was like a huge rock falling into the water, and the hall was suddenly in an uproar.

The emperor frowned and subconsciously clenched his fists. This situation was something he had not expected. If Liang Xiao had not given him the bottom in advance, he would have almost jumped up. If there was something wrong with the star map of Sima's argument, would the next calculation still make sense?

Not only did the emperor think so, but the princes and kings with ulterior motives were even more happy. Just as the emperor used the introduction of a fixed pattern to prove that the way of heaven is normal and that the river troubles had nothing to do with the government, the princes and kings believed that Liu An's words were also a way to cut off the firewood from the bottom of the pot and hit the key points. If this is true, the emperor's actions not only lost their meaning, but also slapped himself. It was like a lie being exposed in person, and his face was ruined.

Let’s talk further, what fate can such a person have? If he abandons his destiny, he will naturally abandon him. Next, regarding the throne, someone will inevitably make trouble.

For a moment, many people quietly turned their attention to Liu De.

Although Liu De was weak, he was an extremely smart person. When he heard the words of the King of Huainan and felt those malicious gazes, his face turned pale, sweating profusely, and his hands and feet were numb. He secretly glanced at the emperor, and the emperor was just here to see it, with a smile on his lips, and the meaning was inconspicuous. When Liu De saw it, his eyes were dizzy and he fainted.

The emperor quickly got up and reached out to measure Liu De's nose. Seeing that although he was breathing fast, he had no worries about his life, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Liu De fainting, the kings were even more happy. While pretending to be concerned, they whispered and watched the emperor's behavior coldly. The emperor's heart was pounding and he wanted to leave, but he still sat down calmly and ordered someone to send Liu De back to his residence and summon the imperial physician to treat him. He looked confident and listened attentively.

Seeing that the emperor was orderly and as stable as Mount Tai, the kings did not dare to be arrogant and took their seats again.

The emperor looked around quietly, looked at the kings' expressions in his eyes, and leaned back. "Shigong, what do you think?"

Sima Tan said while wiping his sweat, "Your Majesty, if this is the case, the fixed pattern of those stars may be consistent."

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly. Sima Tan answered the question that was not questionable, but he completely relieved. If it was true as Sima Tan said, the result should be similar to what Liang Xiao said. The King of Huainan's rebuttal will only prove the accuracy of the fixed pattern, rather than overturning the fixed pattern. Thinking of the reactions of the kings, he couldn't help but sneer. These people did not understand the situation at all, and in the end they were just empty-hearted joy.

The emperor was very calm and listened with great interest.

Sure enough, the King of Huainan immediately deduced it based on the new data. The specific questions were relatively complicated, and many people actually didn't understand and didn't care, but they all understood the result: Sima's conclusion was inaccurate and there was room for discussion. In contrast, the King of Huainan, who had a new clairvoyance, had more confidence in speaking.

Finally, King Huainan said a very confident sentence: Although I dare not say that I have mastered the way of heaven, I believe that I am more qualified than Sima Tan in expressing the way of heaven.

Many people seem to understand the previous deduction, but understand this sentence. Or, they think they understand this sentence, so they are naturally very excited. They all attribute Liu An's confidence to the new clairvoyance. With the new clairvoyance, they can see more stars and have more say in the issue of heaven. Maybe they will find evidence that is unfavorable to the emperor at any time.

I should have a clairvoyance, and the latest one.

Not only do the kings with different thoughts think so, but even those who do not have such thoughts think that clairvoyance is a good thing. If you don’t want to harm others, at least you can’t be harmed by others. If you don’t have any say in the way of heaven, wouldn’t you be slaughtered?

The lecture ended in an uproar, and Liu An personally sent the emperor out. The emperor and Liu An walked side by side, speaking calmly. "Uncle Wang's knowledge is getting more and more sophisticated, which is gratifying."

"Your Majesty is too rewarded. I am relatively idle and don't have to care about so much government affairs. I have time. In addition, there are many fellow people in the palace who inspire each other, so I often have new knowledge. Although the Grand Historian is devoted to learning, his affairs are complicated and he thinks alone, so naturally he is not as easy as he can achieve results."

The emperor nodded repeatedly. The King of Huainan said this truthful words and also made him feel much more at ease.

"In fact, learning is sometimes similar to marching and fighting." Liu An was a little proud when talking about learning. "Unless some special situations require genius ingenuity, most of the time there are still many people and more advantages. For example, in the Battle of Hexi, although the victory is frequent, I still feel that it is not a perfect solution. Especially Li Guang's army, with tens of thousands of cavalry going to fight, the risk is too great. If the two fight each other, the strong will win. Therefore, those who can use all their strength will be strong, so that the high emperor won the world. He will show off his courage and defeat him. This is why Xiang Yu lost the world."

The emperor couldn't help laughing. "What Uncle Wang said is reasonable, this is indeed a matter of great difficulty throughout the ages. There are 3,000 visitors from the Prince of Huainan Mansion, and they are so powerful that they may not find a rival in the world. Uncle Wang, do you feel very lonely?"

After being choked by the emperor, Liu An knew that he had made up his words and was embarrassed, and could not express his high opinions.

The emperor laughed and bowed to say goodbye.

However, the kings did not leave. They surrounded Liu An, who was more scheming and asked questions on the grounds of discussing knowledge. If they were more straightforward, they simply asked how much a Mid-Liang cost. I planned to buy two of them home to play with them.

Liu An was overjoyed and explained one by one.

Dou Ying did not stay much, so he quickly left Huainan residence and came to Hejian residence to visit Hejian King Liu De.

Liu De was awake, but his health was not good. When he learned that Dou Ying was visiting, he struggled to sit up and greet him at the door. Dou Ying walked in quickly, rushed forward, supported Liu De, and smiled and said, "The king is in good health, so there is no need to be too polite."

Liu De smiled weakly and said, "Move and stillness with courtesy, and gentlemen are cautious in solitude. This is the lesson of the saint, so how can I be an exception?"

Dou Ying smiled and helped Liu De to lie on the couch. He pulled the seat over and sat on the couch. "Among all the kings, the King's Confucianism is the most profound. However, I feel that the King's knowledge is still above bamboo and silk, and has not reached the point of inconsistency."

Liu De was shocked, sat up quickly and struggled to stay. Dou Ying reached out to hold him down. Liu De was in panic. "The little king was dull, even though he was vigilant day and night, he still couldn't bear it. Now the disaster fell from the sky. Please give me some advice on the situation of being taught in front of Dou Gong."

Liu De was the second son of Emperor Xiaojing. When his elder brother Liu Rong was the crown prince, Dou Ying was one of the masters and was responsible for teaching Liu Rong's way of governing, mainly Confucianism. Liu De had listened to some and had a bit of teacher-student friendship with Dou Ying, which was why this was said. In his opinion, Dou Ying came to see him at the first time, which was of course for the same reason.

Dou Ying smiled. "It's not your fault."

"Wait" Liu De breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled bitterly, "If I can get this from Mr. Dou, I will have a glimmer of hope."

"I'm afraid this may not be." Dou Ying rubbed the edge of the couch and glanced at Liu De again. "It's not that the punishment for being punished without guilt has happened. Now the court officer Zhang Tang is accustomed to playing with the words of the decrees and words, which is even more sinister than Zhidu back then. If you fall into his hands, you may not end up better than the King of Linjiang."

Liu De's face had just recovered a little and changed a lot again, without a trace of blood. His brother deposed the prince, and the King of Linjiang Liu Rong was a sword hanging in his heart. Most of his uneasiness and panic over the years came from now on. He was scared by Dou Ying, and he almost fainted again.

"Dou...Dou Gong, save me, save me." Liu De slid down from the couch, knelt in front of Dou Ying, tears flowing.

Dou Ying raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was secretly proud. He helped Liu De up and comforted him kindly. "King, this is just my guess. Now it is not as good as before, so you don't have to be nervous. However, the feeling of being trembling and walking on thin ice is really not good."

Liu De was frightened by Dou Ying and was already weak. He didn't bother to say anything, but just nodded repeatedly.

"King, have you ever thought about why this happened?" Dou Ying said: "The King and Your Majesty are both descendants of Emperor Xiaojing, and they are vassal kings. Why are they as prisoners who are about to die and are in panic all day long?"

Liu De stared at Dou Ying helplessly, and cold sweat condensed into his hips and slid down from his forehead. Although he had just been forty years, his skin on his face was already loose, his hair and beard were half white, which was almost the same as Dou Ying.

"It is certainly abominable for grammatical officials, but they are just hawks and dogs. I'm afraid it's not them, but the emperor, who really disturbs the king?"

Liu De's eyes were as if they were copper bells, and he moved back two steps. "Dou...Dou Gong, what do you mean?"

"I have nothing else to mean, I just want to pity the king and want to help the king to get rid of this endless worries and enjoy wealth and honor with peace of mind."

"If... how can you..."

Dou Ying smiled. "Duke Jing of Qi asked about politics."

Liu De was proficient in Confucianism, so he naturally knew where these words came from and what they mean. The king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, and the son. It sounds very simple, but not many can be done. However, if both the king and the minister can treat each other with courtesy, he would not have to be so nervous.

"Dou Gong, what you mean is..."

"The great king is proficient in Confucianism, so why not write to Your Majesty to write to His Majesty to cultivate etiquette. If the king treats his ministers with etiquette, and the ministers obey the king and also use etiquette. If he does not go beyond the rules and moves and stills, then why should he be afraid of it? In this way, the king will be at ease and not be afraid of rumors and slander. The emperor is dedicated to the government, the king and his ministers are united, and the brothers are friendly, wouldn't it be good?"

Dou Ying talked happily, and was eloquent.

Dou Ying left with great enthusiasm, Liu De's face turned gray and his eyes were desperate. He locked himself in the room, pondered for a long time, then picked up his pen, wrote a memorial with a careful word and sent someone to the palace.

After the messenger was sent, Liu De changed into a court suit, bowed to the direction of Weiyang Palace and then bowed to him, drew out his sword, and buried his sword and committed suicide.

Blood flowed, and Liu Depu fell to the ground, his eyes gradually became empty and calm. Without vitality, he no longer had fear.

Dou Ying returned home and sat alone in the study, recalling the experience he had just discussed with Liu De, and the more he thought about it, the more proud he became.

He felt that he had done a great thing that benefited the country and the people. Compared to Liang Xiao, Liu De was obviously the one who was most suitable to make suggestions. He was the emperor's brother and a scholar with a profound Confucianism. It was very appropriate for him to suggest that the emperor admired etiquette. Especially now that the emperor was worried that the kings would have different intentions, Liu De made suggestions and regarded himself as a minister, which would undoubtedly suppress the kings' ambitions.

If we talk about the qualifications to inherit the throne, who can compare with Liu De? If Liu De always abides by the etiquette of his ministers, what ambitions do others have?

The more Dou Ying thought about it, the more reasonable he felt. He couldn't help but feel the joy in his heart and planned to go to Liang Xiao for a chat. But it was getting late, so he stopped and decided to go again tomorrow morning.

In excitement, Dou Ying tossed and turned, and fell asleep in the middle of the night. In his dream, he met Emperor Xiaojing. Emperor Xiaojing looked at him with a smile and praised: "Prince, you are worthy of being a minister of the country, and I did not see you wrong."

Dou Ying hurriedly bowed and waited for him to raise his head. He was about to say something, but he found that Emperor Xiaojing looked fierce and swung his long sword and came towards him. Dou Ying was caught off guard, with blood in front of him and a burst of noise in his ears.

Dou Ying woke up from the dream and sat up, sweating soaked her heavy clothes.

At this moment, a noise came from outside. Then, the door was pushed open and a little slave rushed in. "June, someone from the palace sent an edict, and immediately went to the court to sue the King of Hejian for suicide."

Dou Ying was shocked and a buzzing voice in his mind: "Hajian King committed suicide?"

"That's right, shortly after Junhou left Hejian's residence, King Hejian committed suicide." King Wuqiu Shou walked in, pressed the long sword around his waist, and looked at Dou Ying coldly. "Please go to Tingwei's Mansion to explain the story clearly."—
