Chapter 472: Checks and Balances


After listening to Xiahou Ding's explanation, Guan Fu and Han Shuo were stupid.They had all accepted the benefits of Xiahouding some time ago, and no one thought that these benefits would come from the embezzled shipyard funds."

You killer" The bushman was furious, flew up with a kick, and kicked Xiahou Ding to the ground."

Are you a pit Laozi" So far, Xiahou Ding just wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, bit his lip, and didn't say a word.The bushman was even more angry, and pounced on him to fight again.Liang Xiao coughed: "Okay, it's useless for you to kill him, it's better to think of something real."

You say, what should I do?"

said the bushman's face was tangled."

This prince doesn't have much money, so there is no need to involve the face of the court, and it will be difficult to get along in the future."

Liang Xiao was silent and glanced at Han Shuo."

What about you," Han said, clasping his hands on his chest, leaning against the wall, his eyelids drooping."

I am a small military marquis under the command of the prince, how dare I have any opinions, everything is up to the prince."

Liang Xiao didn't speak, and moved his gaze back to the face of the bushman.The bushman was in a dilemma and looked at Liang Xiao for help.Liang Xiao gave a look.Bushman understood, turned around and walked up to Han Shuo, and put his arm around his shoulder."

Let's go, talk to the side."

Han Shuo frowned, but he was still pulled away by the bushman.Liang Xiao looked at Xiahou Ding and crooked his mouth."

It looks like your life can be saved."

Xiahouding was embarrassed and gave up his hand again and again.He knew that if it weren't for Liang Xiao releasing water, it would not be enough to just irrigate."

Thank you, Prince.""

You don't have to thank me, I'm just not worth it for you."

Liang Xiao sighed."

It's a pity that you didn't die on the battlefield after a lifetime of fighting, but you died on corruption.Capital sins can be avoided, but living sins cannot be escaped.After being dismissed, you go to Wei Qing and fight under him.Maybe there will be a chance to make meritorious contributions. ”Xiahouding gave his hand again and thanked him again and again.After a while, the bushman returned, and Han Shuo followed.A look of reluctance.The bushman walked up to Liang Xiao and arched his hand: "Prince, look" Liang Xiao snorted.He asked the bushman to sit in because he knew that the bushman and Tian Wei had a good relationship, and he would definitely come forward to cover up the matter.As for how much of this is sympathetic to Xiahou Ding.I can't tell."

I don't have any problem, please ask Xiahou Fujun to write a self-complaint, and then you two can sign your name.If something really happens, no one can escape. ”"Definitely, definitely.""

In addition, please tell Prime Minister Tian.I don't care how he gets the money, but digging a pit to bury me, only this once, not an example.Otherwise.Liu Jian is his role model. ”The bushman shuddered and nodded vigorously.Liang Xiao conducted a thorough audit of the Yuzhang shipyard, then wrote a detailed report and sent it to the imperial court.The situation of Yuzhang Shipyard is not ideal, and it is not easy to build the warship that the Son of Heaven needs in two years.He can spare Xiahou's life for the sake of the veteran, but he will not carry this black pot for Xiahouding, and he does not mention Xiahouding's name, which is the greatest sympathy.As for how Tian Wei explained to the Son of Heaven, it was Tian Wei's own business.The Son of Heaven will definitely be angry.But embezzling shipyard funds is not enough to bring down Tian Wei.Xiahou Ding knew that there was a lot of trouble, and he didn't have the heart to deal with the affairs of the Lushan Essence House.Liang Xiao took it himself, and he told the craftsmen.What to do, what else you should do, will not lose a single money for you.Even if the government doesn't pay for it, I can afford it.The craftsmen ate this reassuring pill, and then they were relieved and continued to pay close attention to the construction.The shipyard will not be able to carry out work for a while.Liang Xiao simply put his mind on the Lushan villa.He revised the drawings, enlarged the windows, and improved the lighting.Most of the houses in the Han Dynasty had poor lighting, and the houses were dim, and they had to be lit during the day.Liang Xiao didn't want the house to always smell of oily smoke, so he decided to build a new house with glass windows.After listening to Liang Xiao's modification suggestions, the craftsmen were so frightened that they couldn't retract their tongues for a long time.How rich is this champion Hou who uses glass as a window, and how luxurious is he is.However, they didn't dare to disobey Liang Xiao's intentions, so they could only act according to orders.Liang Xiao sent people to Huainan and asked Liu An, the king of Huainan, to work overtime to produce the glass he needed.After reading the letter sent by the grub, Tian Wei's ugly face became knotted and became even more unsightly.He couldn't remember who Xiahou Ding was.There are more people begging him to buy officials, and there is only one Yuzhang Taishou, who remembers so much.Digging a pit to harm Liang Xiao is even more chasing after the wind, at least he doesn't have any impression of himself.Tian Wei asked people to invite guests to take advantage of it.When he heard it, he had some impressions, and confirmed that Xiahou must have spent a hundred gold to buy the official, and after getting Yuzhang Taishou, he was very grateful and often sent people to send some Yuzhang's specialties.The last time I came, it was Liang Xiao's wedding, and I mentioned the conflict between Liang Xiao and Tian Wei through Fu, probably because Xiahou definitely wanted to show his loyalty, so he did these things.Tian Wei understood as soon as he heard it.This is not Xiahou's idea at all, it must be a request for blessing.The doorman is a courtier, the king is worried about the humiliation of the minister, the king humiliates the minister, he was bullied by Liang Xiao so embarrassed, it is normal for the doorman to be angry for him."

Liang Xiao is not an ordinary person, don't do such a thing in the future."

Tian Wei scratched his eyebrows."

Unless there is a way to kill him, don't act rashly.""

Whoa."

By blessing.He didn't take it seriously, either.Not to mention that the bushman has come forward to suppress the matter, even if he doesn't suppress it, it doesn't matter, such a little thing can't hurt Tian Wei.Tian Wei asked: "How to explain to Your Majesty" Yu Fu said: "I'm afraid I will break some money this time." ”He thought for a moment and said, "But this is also an opportunity.If you can find evidence that Liang Xiao and Doufu are greedy for ink, they may be able to suppress Dou Ying's limelight. ”Tian Wei frowned, pondered for a long time, and sighed."

Xiahou Ding, this business is a big loss."

The Son of Heaven frowned."

How can the situation of Yuzhang Shipyard be so bad" Tian Wei said with a smile: "Your Majesty, since the establishment of this dynasty, there has not been a major war in the south, and it is not surprising that the war preparation is lax.However, there are pros and cons to this, and there is no framework for it to show off your strengths.With His Majesty's Shengming and Liang Xiao's ability, in a few years, Yuzhang Shipyard will recreate the scale of the Qin period, or even surpass it, just like the situation in Northern Xinjiang. ”The Son of Heaven glanced at Tian Wei, and his face was slightly pale.That being said, the amount of money required was much higher than previously anticipated.The war in northern Xinjiang has not yet ended, where can we raise the required expenses, can Dasi Nong get it?"

"Dasi Nong is fully supporting the war in northern Xinjiang, and I am afraid that he will not be able to draw too much money.However, when the preparations are completed, it should be about the same.Your Majesty, the minister is willing to give a thousand gold to solve the urgent need. ”The Son of Heaven was very surprised, and really looked at Tian Wei for a moment, suspicious."

The prime minister took the initiative to pay the money, but why" Tian Wei sighed, pretending to be guilty."

Your Majesty, on the public, as the prime minister, has the duty of selecting talents.Xiahou Ding is not competent, and it is the improper use of ministers.Even if His Majesty forgives, the minister will not be able to escape the blame and is willing to pay money to atone for his sins.On personal gain, as a relative of the country, it is also incumbent on the minister to share the worries of the court.The minister's ability is limited, and he can neither fight on the battlefield nor lecture on the Tao, so he can only donate some money and talk about his heart. ”The Son of Heaven nodded, a rare gentleness."

I have received your heart.Money, you don't need it.The southern expedition is not in a hurry, even if it drags on for a year and a half, there is no problem.However, the war in the north is urgent, the soldiers are about to triumph, and the rewards they should have must be raised as soon as possible. ”"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister has already arranged it properly, and even the rewarded land, the minister should be ready in place.""

That's very good."

The Son of Heaven was very satisfied, and talked to Tian Wei for a while, as relaxed as a family chatter.Tian Wei was a little anxious.He openly and secretly reminded the Son of Heaven that Dou Ying has been in the limelight too much recently and has too much reputation, but the Son of Heaven is indifferent.That's good.He and Dou Ying are not opponents of the same level at all, and in the long run, he is likely to be suppressed by Dou Ying again.Tian Wei thought about it and made a decision, seemingly mentioning it casually."

Your Majesty, the minister heard that when Liang Xiao traveled south, he lived in Guan's house for a few days, and the irrigation husband was very courteous.""

What's wrong" "Sending the bushman as a deputy was originally to let him check and balance Liang Xiao, but now that the two have become old friends, wouldn't it be a loss of the original intention of the court Han said that although he is loyal, after all, he is young and from a rich background, so he is probably not the opponent of a reckless person like Liang Xiao.In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to send another overseer. ”The Son of Heaven rolled his eyes."

There is no need to supervise the army, it is better to choose a suitable Yuzhang to guard it.In addition, the responsibility of Yuzhang Shipyard is heavy, and it can no longer be managed by Yuzhang, or it is better to transfer it to the jurisdiction of Shaofu and directly manage it by the imperial court. ”Tian Wei's face changed, and he was disappointed.Xiahou Ding lost his official position, vacating the vacancy of Yuzhang Taishou, and he was about to send another person to take office.Unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven transferred Yuzhang Shipyard directly to Shaofu.Shaofu is the private mansion of the Son of Heaven, not under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.In this way, what oil and water is there in Yuzhang County to fish for Tian Wei secretly complained, but he did not dare to argue, for fear that the Son of Heaven would be suspicious.Now the situation is not as good as before, the two ladies from the Chen family are pregnant, Dou Ying has made a comeback, and his reputation is outstanding, and the Chen and Dou families have a resurgence of life, even the queen mother does not dare to easily upset the son of heaven, and he does not dare to ask for trouble.Tian Wei retreated.As soon as he left the main hall, the smile on the face of the Son of Heaven dissipated.He stared at Tian Wei's back and chuckled, full of contempt.He turned around and said to Guo Sheren, who was hidden behind the curtain: "Dou Ying has entered the palace, someone has gossiped about him, and he has to come to give me an explanation." ”Guo Sheren answered, and went to the mobile version of yznn with a smile:
