Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 480
"Your Majesty forgives the crime, the minister was excited for a while, and the emperor was rude."

"Hahaha..." The emperor laughed triumphantly. "However, the incident in South Vietnam is not entirely a bait. I remember all the things that the Zhao family did. The Xiongnu Chanyu insulted the court, and that old man Zhao Tuo is not a obedient minister. When the northern border is stabilized, the Southern Expedition will begin." It will happen. Not only that, I have to go further, Jizi North Korea has been alone overseas for too long, it is time for them to return to the Chinese clothes."

Even knowing that the emperor later sent troops to attack Liaodong, Liang Xiao was still a little terrified.The emperor's mind was obviously bigger than he estimated.He wholeheartedly wanted to draw the emperor's attention outward, but now it seemed that it was an extravagance.Without him, the emperor would have to expand outward.

However, with him, the emperor will go further.

"Your Majesty's plan is very big. It's like looking forward and suddenly behind. I really can't keep up."

The emperor glanced at him, chuckled twice, and said: "I entrusted you with the matter of the building and boats. It is also out of this consideration. You are a leader among the younger generation. The Huns are very afraid of you, and the more people respect you. You are also jealous. Letting you manage the South Expedition can not only deter the Yue people, but also reassure the Huns, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

Liang Xiao cupped his hands again, expressing his admiration.

"How about it, don't you want to go? These are two miraculous achievements. If they are successful, Wanhuhou will have nothing to say."

Liang Xiao smiled wryly. "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to serve His Majesty. It's just that the building and boat are big. To build a building and boat, you have to go to the big rivers and lakes. My dynasty's shipbuilding base is in Yuzhang, which is far from Chang'an, but close to Huainan. I'm afraid it's not suitable. Besides, the vegetables grown by the minister..."

The emperor widened his eyes and reprimanded: "Conquest from the south to the north, such a big matter, is not as important as your food? At a young age, you ask for the fields and homes, do you want to be an old nursery? Or do you want to declare to the world that the imperial court cannot employ people? Are you forced to farm acres and grow vegetables for self-entertainment?"

Liang Xiao blinked and murmured: "Your Majesty...that's too serious." But he said in his heart, how dare you say so?
"Emperor Xiaowen once lamented that General Li was born at an untimely time. If he was born in the time of Emperor Gao, Wanhuhou would not matter. I give you a chance now, but you don't want it. When people talk about it later, they think you were also born at an untimely time."

"Your Majesty, I dare not." Liang Xiao hurriedly pleaded guilty. "I'm actually just greedy. How could I think of so many things that would hurt His Majesty's reputation? I'm guilty of capital punishment."

The Son of Heaven snorted: "You are greedy, right? All right, food is the most important thing for the people, and the court wants you to do things, so you can't stop eating. I will give you a hundred hectares of fertile land and let you grow vegetables while building ships. Is that enough? "

Liang Xiao was taken aback, suspecting that he hadn't heard clearly. "How much? Your Majesty, how much fertile land are you talking about?"

The emperor squinted at him, and said word by word: "You heard me right, it's a hundred hectares, not a hundred mu, is it enough for you to grow vegetables?"

Liang Xiao rolled his eyes.I have a day.One hundred hectares is [-] mu. How many vegetables do you need to grow? "Your Majesty, there are too many..."

"You don't think it's too little." The emperor waved his hand, interrupting Liang Xiao's refusal. "If you have any other requirements, please bring them up together, and then go back to pack your bags and set out on the road with peace of mind."

Liang Xiao scratched his head. "Let's go on the road with peace of mind? Why is the minister so panicked?"

The emperor rolled his eyes and felt that the words were inappropriate, so he couldn't help laughing "puchi", and pretended to be stern: "If you don't build a building boat, the hundred hectares of vegetable fields will be your burial place."

-

Liang Xiao didn't make any other requests, but only hoped that Liu Ling could go back to Huainan to visit her mother.

The emperor agreed.

Liang Xiao went out of the palace, and when he got home, he first explained the situation to Liu Ling.Liu Ling leaned in front of the dressing table, resting his chin, his eyes flickered, not surprised at all. "The Son of Heaven's methods are always brilliant, and this time he killed three birds with one stone, seamlessly."

"Three kills with one stone?" Liang Xiao hurt his self-esteem a little.He only thought of the two purposes of the emperor's move.

"Isn't that right, the knife prepared for the Huns, first to test the confidence of South Vietnam, and then trapped you in Yuzhang to build a ship, far away from the capital, wouldn't it kill three birds with one stone? Why, you really thought that the ship was built and attacked Liaodong It must be you?"

Liang Xiao was stunned for a while before he realized it.He wanted to laugh, but he didn't.

"This ship is not one or two ships. It can't be built in two or three years. After two or three years, Wei Qing is already a major general in the army. Even if you go into battle, you will be a partial division. The main force in the battle in Liaodong is cavalry. You trained Besides being a boatman, what is the use of a sailor?"

Liu Ling raised his finger and tapped Liang Xiao's forehead lightly. "You, you were deceived by the hundred hectares of fertile land. The emperor used your strengths, broke your foundation in the army, and got the reputation of being a good person. This is another small thing that kills three birds with one stone." .”

Liang Xiao shook his head speechlessly.Be really careful, be careful, or be played by the emperor.The emperor's serial deception is really amazing. If one prevents the second, but if he fails to prevent the third, it is really impossible to guard against.Isn't that right, who can say what will happen two years later?

Liang Xiao laughed at himself and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. If you let me build a ship, I'll build the ship. It's convenient for both public and private use."

"If you think so, the disaster will not be far away." Liu Ling gave Liang Xiao a white look. "The emperor asked you to be adjacent to Huainan. Do you think it's an opportunity? You don't know, maybe he gave you this opportunity on purpose." She thought for a while, then frowned slightly, and said, "We just got married, and he transferred you to Henan. Zhang Jianzhou, did he become suspicious and intentionally separate you and me?"

The more Liang Xiao thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he felt a little terrified. Even he himself couldn't figure out whether it was Liu Ling thinking too much, or the emperor's methods were really unpredictable.He himself was very careful, but he hadn't thought of this level.From this point of view, Yuzhang Shipbuilding is a tiankeng.

To tell the truth, he has always felt that he is very much at home.Now that I think about it, maybe the Son of Heaven has a good view of the fire, just watching how he jumps.

"Are you thinking too much?"

"I also hope that I think too much." Liu Ling blinked. "But it's always good to be careful, don't you think?"

Liang Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, stretched out his hands, hugged Liu Ling into his arms, and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter what he does, anyway, I have a hundred hectares of fertile land for nothing, so why not? You stay in Huainan for a while, and then If you go back to Chang'an, it will be difficult to go back in the future."

"That's right, just like what you said, regret teaching your husband and son-in-law to find a Marquis." Liu Ling nestled in Liang Xiao's arms, held Liang Xiao's hand, and squinted at Liang Xiao. "You are free and easy outside, but I have to be a hostage in Chang'an, isn't it right in your mind? This is also a blessing in disguise."

"Look at you, where are you thinking?" Liang Xiao laughed and said, "How about I quit this matter."

"Don't. The emperor gave you face like this. If you still want to resign, you will be a little ungrateful. Even if you are ignored for the rest of your life, no one can say anything." Liu Ling turned around and pinched Liang Xiao's nose. "You went to Yuzhang, what about Wenji?"

"There is no rush for this matter. Since you think the emperor may be suspicious, why not let it go for now." Liang Xiao pondered and said: "I hope the sisters of the Chen family can succeed, so that there is no need to send Wen Ji to the palace. Go. The palace is not a good place, why bother to suffer that."

"That's true." Liu Ling blinked. "It's a pity that her surname is Liang, otherwise..."

Liang Xiao stared at Liu Ling suspiciously. "Are you happy?"

"No." Liu Ling wondered, "Why do you say that?"

"I think your accent is not right today, and you have the mentality of a pregnant woman. You are suspicious."

"Okay, you dare to turn a corner and say me." Liu Ling said angrily, threw Liang Xiao onto the bed, and made a fuss.

The two chatted and laughed for a while, Liang Xiao got up and went to report to his wife and master.This time, the time away from home will not be short, and there are many things to arrange.The internal affairs are fine, with Liu Ling taking care of them, so I basically don't need my mother to worry about them.Whether Huan Yuan should stay in Chang'an or follow him to Yuzhang, he wanted to ask his opinion.

After Huan Yuan thought about it, he decided to follow Liang Xiao to Yuzhang.He lived in Chang'an for a few years, and he didn't feel any discomfort at first. Last time he went to Huainan with Liang Xiao, only then did he realize that he still likes the climate of Wu Chu.Although Yuzhang is not his hometown, it is Chudi after all.

Liang Xiao agreed.He wanted to keep Tu Niu'er in Chang'an, let him reunite with his family more, and hurry up to have a few more children, but Tu Niu'er refused.He took Zhong Liqi as an example, Zhong Liqi was not far away from Huanyuan, and he was not far away from Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao didn't insist.He really needs someone like Tu Niu'er who can be completely at ease by his side.

-

Liang Xiao went to Yuzhang to build a ship, which was nominally under the jurisdiction of Dou Ying.Before leaving Beijing, Liang Xiao rushed to Dou Ying's residence to say goodbye.

The emperor treats veterans preferentially, and Dou Ying doesn't have to be on duty every day like waiting for Xu Le and others, and the palace will send someone to invite him if something happens.To put it bluntly, the Chinese doctor was originally equivalent to a consultant, and it was equivalent to giving Dou Ying a salary for nothing.

Although Dou Ying was not very satisfied, she had been idle for too long, and it was better to do something better than nothing, and she was happy to take two servants to the market every day to learn about the situation related to South Vietnam.Xu Le is in charge of the systematic intelligence collection. Every three to five days, Xu Le will send relevant documents to Dou Ying for review.

When Liang Xiao rushed to Wei Qihou's mansion, Dou Ying had just returned from the market, followed by a middle-aged man, tall and rough, looking like a bandit.

Seeing Liang Xiao, Dou Ying warmly greeted him, "Bo Ming, come, let me introduce you to someone. This is Guan Zhongru, Guanfu of Yingchuan, who has just returned from the post of Prime Minister Yan."

Hearing that it was Guan Fu, Liang Xiao took another look.When Guan Fu saw it, he stared. "Why, Liang Junhou's eyes, what is the intention?"

Liang Xiao laughed.This Guan Fu is well-deserved, despite his age, he is still in the second grade. "It turns out that you are Guan Zhongru. You have long admired your name. When I saw you today, you are indeed a hero."

Guan Fu grinned, laughed loudly, triumphantly. "Junhou, look, I said heroes cherish heroes, we must be right."

Dou Ying waved her hand and ignored Guan Fu. "Bo Ming, are you ready to go?"

Liang Xiao nodded, walked to Dou Ying's side, and said in a low voice, "The battle in Northern Xinjiang is imminent, and it's just a matter of employing people. Why did Guan Jun come back instead?"

Dou Ying sighed. "This Zhu Zi got into trouble and was spared. Bo Ming, do you need someone there? Zhong Ru is also good at water warfare."
