Chapter 471: Trap (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )

Lushan is not among the five mountains, but in terms of name, Lushan is not worse than the five mountains at all, and can even be compared with the Yellow Mountain, which is known as "the return of the five mountains does not look at the mountain". Some people say that Lushan is likely to be the mountain with the highest appearance rate in the poetry of the ancients. Whether it is Li Bai's "flying down 3,000 feet" or Su Shi's "I don't know the true face of Lushan", they are all familiar sentences.

Lushan is not only able to see it, it is simply a fairyland on earth. Two thousand years later, Lushan is a summer resort for national leaders.

Now, it's mine?

After experiencing a lot of unhappiness, Liang Xiao felt for the first time that it was actually good to leave the capital. In Chang'an, he, a 2,000-stone middle doctor, is inconspicuous, but here, he is a close confidant of the Son of Heaven from the capital, and even the Taishou has to bow down and obey orders and be careful to flatter.

Liang Xiao agreed, and the boat sailed straight to Lushan.

――

As soon as he climbed Mount Lu, Liang Xiao was very satisfied. At the foot of the mountain is a hot August furnace day, but the mountain is as cool as autumn, not only the heat is completely gone, but even a thin coat is put on to be comfortable. The cool breeze is blowing, the air is fresh, and the birds are chirping in the lush forest, and when you look up, you can't find the birds.

"The location is very good, if you can build a fine house in the mountains, and then study and practice martial arts, it is also a pleasure to live this life."

Seeing that Liang Xiao was satisfied, Xiahouding finally breathed a sigh of relief. "The prince laughed, you are in the prime of spring and autumn, and it is a good time to serve the imperial court, how can you go into hiding? It's just a temporary rest, recuperate, and it won't be long before His Majesty's edict arrives, and the prince and marquis will gallop on the battlefield. ”

Liang Xiao laughed. Thousands of clothes, no sycophants, this Xiahou must really be able to speak. Quietly slapped the sycophants.

"Prince. This place is called Bailuling. It is the southern foot of the mountain, only a few miles away from the shipyard. The mountain ridge to the south, did the prince see it? What do you think it looks like? ”

Liang Xiao looked at Xiahou Ding's hand, and saw a mountain ridge standing towering in the distance, flanked by two slightly slower mountains, still much higher than the side, looking like wild geese.

"Hong Yan? Eagle? ”

"It's Jin Feng." Xiahou Ding said with a smile: "Yuzhang belongs to the land of Chu, and the phoenix is the favorite divine beast of the Chu people. The golden phoenix is the best among the phoenixes. This ridge is named after the golden phoenix, but the true god has never been seen. Now that the prince is here, Jin Fengling can be regarded as worthy of the name. ”

Liang Xiao glanced at Xiahou Ding. "Xiahou Mansion, I don't dare to accept what you say. The sage uses the phoenix as a metaphor, I am just a martial artist, if I dare to compare with the sage. If this spreads to Chang'an, I don't know how many people will sue me for my black state. Liang Xiao said, glancing at Han Shuo intentionally or unintentionally. Han said that his heart was weak and turned his head. Pretend not to know.

Xiahou Ding laughed, looking hearty. "The prince knows only one thing. I don't know the second, Rong is showing off. The sage used the phoenix as a metaphor, but it was just a Confucian who put gold on his face. In Chudi, the phoenix is like fire, it is a divine beast that inherits the light of the sun, and when it falls in the world, it is a hero who assists Mingjun, and is good at shooting. The prince is from Chang'an, under the edict of the Son of Heaven, supervising the construction of warships, and is famous for archery, isn't it more in line with the metaphor of the phoenix than Confucius? ”

Liang Xiao rolled his eyes, speechless for a while.

"Moreover, Kong Qiu has never met the master in his life, so he has the sigh of 'the phoenix bird does not come'. Now that Mingjun is alive, the phoenixes are singing together, which is the prosperous weather. ”

Although Liang Xiao doesn't like Xiahouding very much, he has to say that this thing can really be a sycophant. said that he was praising him, but in fact, he was filming the sycophants of the Son of Heaven. Even if Han Shuo passed these words back, the Son of Heaven would not find his fault, and maybe he would be happy.

"Having said that, so-and-so still doesn't dare to be." Liang Xiao stood on the hillside, crossed his waist, and looked down at Peng Lize in the distance. "However, I intend to emulate the saints, and teach without class. The scenery here is good, deep and quiet, and the traffic is very convenient, which is suitable for teaching. I want to build a fine house here, and plough and read, I don't know what the king thinks? ”

"That's great." Xiahou Ding didn't think twice and applauded loudly. "Then I will choose a site for the prince nearby, send someone to build a fine house, and then arrange the hundred hectares of fertile land here. In this way, the prince and the marquis can build and give lectures at the same time, and they can avoid being disturbed by the laity. ”

Liang Xiao also thinks this suggestion is good. He consulted Huan Yuan's meaning. Where does Huan Yuan have any opinions, seeing this Chu Shan Chu Shui, he is already drunk, so he naturally agrees.

Seeing that Liang Xiao agreed, Xiahou Ding acted resolutely and immediately arranged it.

――

Accompanied by Xiahou Ding, Liang Xiao came to Yuzhang Shipyard.

Yuzhang Shipyard is on the west bank of Penglize, as Xiahouding said, it is very close to Bailuling and Jinfengling, that is, it is a little far away from Yuzhang County to govern Nanchang.

As soon as he entered the shipyard, Liang Xiao chuckled in his heart, and the good mood brought by Lushan disappeared without a trace in an instant.

This is the largest shipyard in Dahan in front of you?

Low, dilapidated houses, dark-faced, taciturn workers, and neat rows of ships in the dockyard, but the number is really limited, and there will be no more than ten at full capacity. It would be more accurate to say that it is a shipyard than a ruin.

"Xiahou Mansion, you didn't go to the wrong place, right?"

Xia Houding shook his head affirmatively. "Prince, how could I be wrong. That's right, this is the Yuzhang Shipyard. ”

"Yuzhang Shipyard is the largest shipyard in my dynasty, just such a few people, so many ships?" Liang Xiao couldn't laugh or cry. "Fu Jun, before I came, I had read the files, don't take me for a fool."

"How dare you, how dare you." Xiahou Ding was frightened into a fine sweat and shook his head again and again. He asked Lou Chuancheng to call and asked Lou Chuancheng to report the specific project to Liang Xiao. Lou Chuancheng was a sixty-year-old man, thin and dry, walking in a hurry, and he had to breathe for a long time before he had the strength to speak.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Liang Xiao was stupid, he couldn't understand it at all.

"Liang Junhou, he is a local, and he has never been far away in his life." Xiahouding said apologetically.

Liang Xiao smiled. No matter how sluggish he is, he can see the problem here. He waved his hand, got up and grabbed Xiahouding's shoulders, and dragged Xiahouding aside. "Xiahou Fujun, I am a martial artist and like to go straight. You won't have to beat around the bush. Say, who told you to stumble upon me? ”

Xiahou Ding looked dazed. "Liang Junhou, what are you talking about, why can't I understand?"

Liang Xiao let go of Xiahou Ding, tilted his head, and looked at his hands. "Xiahou Fujun, there was a big case recently, do you know?"

Xia Houding blinked. "I don't know which big case Liang Junhou is talking about."

"It's the case of Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, who is being investigated by the imperial court." Liang Xiao squinted at Xiahouding. "Don't tell me you don't know, although this case has not yet been announced, but the dignitaries in Chang'an are clear."

The fine sweat on Xiahou Ding's forehead turned into beads of sweat the size of beans. He knew about this big case, and he also knew what Liang Xiao meant. The main reason for Liu Jian's bad luck in Jiangdu is the champion Hou in front of him. Compared with Liu Jian, which green onion does he Xiahou count?

Liang Xiao put away his smile and said word by word: "Who is it?" ”

Xiahou Ding bit his lip and said nothing.

"Okay, since the prince is loyal and unwilling to betray the noble man behind him, I won't embarrass you. The fine house in Bailuling doesn't have to worry about the mansion, and I will pay all the money in full. As for the prince, you can wait for the edict of the Son of Heaven with peace of mind. During this time, you can arrange for someone to go to Beijing to ask for help, and maybe you will have time to stop my impeachment papers. ”

After speaking, Liang Xiao turned around and left.

Xiahou was in a hurry, hurried two steps, rushed to Liang Xiao, knelt down with a "plop", and kowtowed again and again. "Liang Junhou, Liang Junhou, please raise your noble hand and spare a certain life."

"I will spare you, the Son of Heaven will not spare me." Liang Xiao laughed sadly. "The construction of the building ship was to prepare for the conquest of South Vietnam. If it cannot be completed on time, the Son of Heaven will be wrathed, and my head will not be guaranteed. Fu Jun, I wonder if the big man behind you can intercede for me? ”

Xiahou Ding was shocked inexplicably. "Your Majesty ordered the prince and the marquis to build a building ship in order to conquer South Vietnam?"

Liang Xiao laughed. "Look at you like this, it seems that the noble man to whom you are loyal has not told you the truth."

Xiahou Ding sweated like rain. No matter how stupid he is, he knows that he has been tricked. The Son of Heaven is ambitious to conquer the Quartet, and whoever dares to delay his expedition will not be able to cut off nine heads.

Liang Xiao squatted down and patted Xiahou Ding's shoulder. "It's Prime Minister Tian, right?"

Xiahou Ding raised his head, glared at Liang Xiao, and held his breath. Seeing Xia Houding's expression, Liang Xiao knew that he had guessed right. "You don't have to look at me like that, I have many enemies, but there are not many people who dare to dig a hole for me in this matter. Prime Minister Tian should be one of them. ”

"I ...... I can't say. Xiahouding suddenly burst into tears, kowtowed again and again, and soon saw blood on his forehead. Liang Junhou, I was originally a martial artist, I have been in the army for 30 years, and I have fought more than 100 battles large and small, and my achievements have not been decided. Seeing that he was old and frail, and his achievements were not successful, he gritted his teeth and borrowed a hundred gold money, but he only changed the position of this Yuzhang Taishou......"

Liang Xiao narrowed his eyes. "You've been in the military?"

"Look, Prince." Xiahou Ding didn't say a word, unbuttoned his belt, ripped off his official uniform, and revealed his scarred chest.

Liang Xiao only glanced at it, and his brows couldn't help jumping. The injuries on Xiahou Ding's body were staggered, and they were by no means formed in one or two battles. It seems that he is also an old soldier, but unfortunately he is unlucky, not only did he fail to make meritorious contributions, but he didn't even get a half-official position, and in the end he could only borrow usury and take the path of the powerful to get the position of Yuzhang Taishou.

Not to mention now, even two thousand years later, Jiangxi is not an economically developed area. To do Yuzhang is too guarded, even the big ones that can be exploited can not find a few, and Tongshan is directly responsible for Shaofu, and the place where there is a little oil and water is the fat of Yuzhang Shipyard. Borrowing usury to become an official, of course, is not to achieve any life ideals, and it is the top priority to get the capital back first.

"Get up and get dressed."

Xiahou Ding looked at Liang Xiao in a daze. "Prince, you ...... Will you spare my life? ”

"Whether you can spare you or not depends on your attitude." Liang Xiao went out and called Bushman and Han Shuo in. "I'll give you a chance now, you tell me what happened, and I might be able to leave you a way out. If you are still stubborn and want to resist, then I have no choice but to fulfill your wish and make you a substitute for the dead. ”――
