Lushan is not among the five mountains, but in terms of reputation, Lushan is not inferior to the five mountains at all. It can even be compared with Huangshan, which is known as "the five mountains return without looking at the mountains", Some people say that Lushan is probably the mountain with the highest appearance rate among ancient poems and essays. Whether it is Li Bai's "flying down three thousand feet" or Su Shi's "not knowing the true face of Lushan", they are all well-known famous quotes.

Mount Lu is not only a pervasive, it is simply a fairyland on earth. Two thousand years later, Mount Lu is a place where the national leaders escape the summer heat.

Now, is this my place?

After experiencing a lot of unhappiness, Liang Xiao felt that it was actually good to leave the capital for the first time. In Chang'an, he, the 2,000-stone junior doctor, was not prominent, but here, he was a confidant of the emperor from the capital, and even the prefect had to obey orders and flatter him carefully.

Liang Xiao agreed and the boat sailed straight to Lushan.

As soon as I climbed Mount Lu, Liang Xiao was very satisfied. At the foot of the mountain was the extremely hot August furnace sky, but the mountain was as cool as autumn. Not only did the heat disappear, but it even had to wear a thin cloak to be comfortable. The cool breeze was blowing, the air was fresh, and the sound of birds singing in the lush forest. When I looked up, I couldn't find the birds.

"The location is very good. If you can build a temple in the mountains and study and practice martial arts from now on, and you will be a pleasure to live this life."

Seeing Liang Xiao satisfied, Xiahou Ding finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Junhou is joking. Your prosperity in the spring and autumn is the great time for serving the imperial court. How can you retire? Just take a break for a while and accumulate energy. It won't take long before Your Majesty's edict arrives, and you still want Junhou to gallop on the battlefield."

Liang Xiao laughed loudly. He wore a lot of clothes but didn't wear flattery. Xiahou Dingzhen could speak, and flattered him calmly.

"Junhou, this place is called Bailuling, which is the southern foot of the mountain, only a few miles away from the shipyard. Did Junhou see the mountain in the south? What do you think it looks like?"

Liang Xiao followed Xiahou Ding's hand and saw a mountain ridge standing in the distance, with two slightly gentle mountains on both sides. It was still much higher than the side, and it looked like a geese.

"Hongyan? Eagle?"

"It's the golden phoenix." Xiahou Ding smiled and said, "Yuzhang belongs to Chu. 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. However, there has never been a true god. Now that the king has come here, the Golden phoenix Ridge is truly a name."

Liang Xiao glanced at Xiahou Ding. "Mr. Xiahou Mansion, I dare not accept what you said. The saint used the phoenix as a metaphor. I am just a martial artist. If this is dared to be on par with the saint, if this is passed to Chang'an, I don't know how many people will sue me for the black story." Liang Xiao said, and glanced at Han intentionally or unintentionally. Han Shuo felt guilty, turned his head, pretending not to know.

Xiahou Ding laughed loudly, looking cheerful. "The king only knows one thing, not the other, Rong shows off. The sage uses the phoenix as a metaphor, but it is just a Confucian putting gold on his face. In Chu, the phoenix is ​​like fire. It is a divine beast that inherits the light of the sun. When it lands on earth, it is a hero who assists the wise king, and is very good at shooting. The king comes from Chang'an, and is in charge of the emperor's order, supervises warships, and is famous all over the world for shooting art. Isn't it more like the phoenix than Confucius?"

Liang Xiao rolled his eyes and was speechless for a moment.

"Besides, Confucius never met a wise master in his life. Therefore, there is a sigh of "the phoenix will not come." Now that the wise king is in the world, the phoenix and birds are singing together, is the prosperous atmosphere."

Although Liang Xiao didn't like Xiahou Ding very much, he had to say that this guy was really good at flattering. He said that he was praising him. In fact, he was flattering the emperor. Even if Han said that he would pass these words back, the emperor would not find his fault, and he might be happy.

"After that being said, I still don't dare to take it." Liang Xiao stood on the hillside, crossed his waist and looked down at Peng Lize in the distance. "However, I intend to imitate the saints, and there is no difference in teaching. The scenery here is beautiful, deep and quiet, and the transportation is very convenient, which is suitable for teaching. I want to build a temple here and read it. I don't know what the mansion thinks?"

"That's great." Xiahou Ding did not hesitate and cheered loudly. "Then I will choose a site for Junhou nearby, send someone to build a monastery, and then arrange the hundred acres of fertile land here. In this way, Junhou will be able to build a ship and teach at the same time, and will be avoided from disturbances by ordinary people."

Liang Xiao also thought this suggestion was good. He asked Huan Yuan about what he meant. Huan Yuan had no opinions. Seeing the Chu Mountain and Chu River, he was already drunk, so he naturally agreed immediately.

Seeing Liang Xiao's agreement, Xiahou decided to act resolutely and immediately made arrangements.

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

Yuzhang Shipyard is located on the west bank of Penglij. As Xiahou Ding said, it is very close to Bailuling and Jinfengling, just a little farther from Nanchang, the capital of Yuzhang County.

As soon as he entered the shipyard, Liang Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and the good mood brought by Lushan disappeared without a trace.

Is this the largest shipyard in Dahan in front of me?

The low and dilapidated houses, dark-faced and taciturn workers, were lined up with neat building ships in the dock, but the number was really limited, and it would not exceed ten. It would be more accurate to say that it was a shipyard, but it was a ruin.

"Xiahou Mansion, you are not going to the wrong place, are you?"

Xiahou Ding shook his head affirmatively. "June, how could I go wrong? That's right, this is Yuzhang Shipyard."

"Yuzhang Shipyard is the largest shipyard in my dynasty. There are only a few people and a few ships?" Liang Xiao couldn't laugh or cry. "Mr. Fu, I have read the archives before I came. Don't treat me as a fool."

"How dare you, how dare you?" Xiahou Ding was scared and sweating in his forehead and shook his head. He asked Lou Chuancheng to report the specific project to Liang Xiao. Lou Chuancheng was a sixty-year-old man, thin and dry, walking a little anxious, and he gasped for a long time before he had the strength to speak.

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

"Mr. Liang Junhou, he is a local and has never traveled far away in his life." Xiahou Ding said apologetically.

Liang Xiao smiled. No matter how dull he was, he could see the problem. He waved his hand, stood up and put it on Xiahou Ding's shoulder, dragged and held Xiahou Ding aside. "Zhao Hou Mansion, I am a warrior and like to go straight. You don't have to turn around. Tell me, who asked you to trip me up."

Xiahou Ding looked confused. "Liang Junhou, why can't I understand what you said?"

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

Xiahou Ding blinked. "I don't know which major case Liang Junhou said was."

"It is the court that is investigating the case of Liu Jian, the King of Jiangdu." Liang Xiao glanced at Xiahou Ding sideways. "Don't tell me you don't know. Although the case has not been announced yet, the dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an know it very well."

The fine sweat on Xiahou Ding's forehead turned into beads of sweat the size of beans. He knew this big case and also knew what Liang Xiao meant. The main reason for the unlucky reason of Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, was the champion Hou in front of him. Compared with Liu Jian, which onion was he calculated by Xiahou Ding?

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

Xiahou Ding bit his lip without saying a word.

"Okay, since the Lord of the Mansion is loyal and righteous and refuses to betray the noble man behind him, I won't make things difficult for you. The Lord of the Mansion will not worry about the Monastery in Bailuling, and I will pay all the money as much as possible. As for Lord of the Mansion, please wait for the emperor's edict. During this period, you can arrange someone to come to Beijing for help, and maybe you have time to stop my impeachment documents."

After saying that, Liang Xiao turned around and left.

Xiahou Ding was very anxious and rushed to Liang Xiao for two steps, and knelt down with a "thump" and kowtowed repeatedly. "Mr. Liang Jun, Marquis Liang, please give up your hands and spare your life."

"I will spare you, the emperor will not spare me." Liang Xiao smiled sinisterly. "The supervising the construction of the building ship is to prepare for the conquest of Nanyue. If it cannot be completed on schedule, the emperor will be furious and my head will not be protected. I wonder if the great man behind you can plead for me?"

Xiahou Ding was shocked and inexplicably. "Your Majesty ordered the king to supervise building ships to conquer Nanyue?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "Looking at your appearance, it seems that the noble man you are loyal to has not told you the truth."

Xiahou Ding sweated like a rain. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that he had been fooled. The emperor was ambitious to conquer all directions. Who dared to delay his conquest? Nine of them were not enough to cut off.

Liang Xiao squatted down and patted Xiahou Ding on the shoulder. "Is it Prime Minister Tian?"

Xiahou Ding raised his head, stared at Liang Xiao, and held his breath. Seeing Xiahou Ding's expression, Liang Xiao knew that he had guessed. "You don't have to look at me like this. 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 it." Xiahou Ding suddenly burst into tears, kowtowed repeatedly, and blood soon appeared on his forehead. "Mr. Liang Jun. I was also a warrior. I have been in the army for 30 years and have fought more than a hundred battles, but my achievements have not been made. Seeing that I was old and weak, I gritted my teeth and borrowed a hundred gold coins, but I only changed the position of Yuzhang Prefect..."

Liang Xiao narrowed his eyes. "You used to join the army?"

"June, look." Xiahou Ding said nothing, unbuttoned his belt, pulled his official uniform, revealing his scarred chest.

Liang Xiao only glanced at it, and his eyebrows jumped. The injuries on Xiahou Ding's body were definitely not formed by one or two battles. It seemed that he was also an old soldier, but unfortunately he was not lucky. Not only did he fail to make a meritorious service, he didn't even make a marquis, but he didn't even make a single official or a half position. In the end, he could only borrow usury and take the powerful and powerful family to get the position of prefect of Yuzhang.

Not to mention now, even two thousand years later, Jiangxi is not considered an economically developed region. As the prefect of Yuzhang, there are not even a few large households available for exploitation. Tongshan is directly under the responsibility of Shaofu. The place with some oil and water is the fat piece of Yuzhang Shipyard. Borrowing usury to be an official is of course not to realize any life ideals. Getting back the capital first is the top priority.

"Get up and put on your clothes."

Xiahou Ding stared at Liang Xiao in a daze. "June, are you... willing to spare my life?"

"Whether you can be spared depends on your attitude." Liang Xiao went out and called Guan Fu and Han Shuo in. "I will give you a chance now. If you explain the process clearly, I may leave you a way out. If you are still stubborn and want to resist stubbornly, then I have to satisfy your wish and let you be a scapegoat." ——
