There is only a relationship of interest between Xiahou Ding and Tianfu, but no relationship between monarch and minister. In the face of life and death, he has no obligation to bear the sins of Tianfu.

After listening to Xiahou Ding's explanation, Guan Fu and Han Shuo were both stupid. They had accepted Xiahou Ding's benefits some time ago, and no one thought that these benefits actually came from the embezzled shipyard funds.

"You kill me!" Guan Fu was furious, kicked Xiahou Ding to the ground. "Are you cheating me?"

At this point, Xiahou Ding just wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, bit his lips tightly, and said nothing.

Guan Fu became even more angry and rushed up to beat him again. Liang Xiao coughed: "Okay, it's useless to beat him to death. Why don't you think it's real? What do you think? "

Guan Fu's face was entangled. "This lord doesn't have much money, so there is no need to do it, right? It will be difficult to get along with the court in the future."

Liang Xiao didn't say anything, glanced at Han and said, "Where are you?"

Han said he hugged his chest with his hands, leaning against the wall, with his eyelids hanging down. "I am a small military marquis under Junhou. How dare I have any opinions? Everything depends on Junhou's handling."

Liang Xiao didn't say anything, and moved his eyes to Guan Fu's face again. Guan Fu was in a dilemma and looked at Liang Xiao with help. Liang Xiao handed a look. Guan Fu understood, turned around and walked to Han Shuo, holding his shoulders. "Go and talk aside."

Han Shuo frowned, but was still pulled away by Guan Fu. Liang Xiao looked at Xiahou Ding and tilted his mouth. "It seems that your life can be saved."

Xiahou Ding was embarrassed and bowed his hands repeatedly. He knew that it would be far from enough to rely on the refusal of Liang Xiao to release the water.

"Thank you, marquis."

"You don't have to thank me, I'm just worth it for you." Liang Xiao sighed. "It's a pity to fight for the rest of his life, but he's dead in corruption. You can be spared the death penalty, but you can't escape the death penalty. After being dismissed, go find Wei Qing and fight under his command. Maybe there's still a chance to make meritorious contributions."

Xiahou Ding bowed again and thanked him repeatedly.

After a while, Guan Fu came, and Han said he followed behind. He looked reluctant. Guan Fu walked to Liang Xiao and bowed, "June, look."

Liang Xiao snorted. He asked Guan Fu to listen because he knew that Guan Fu and Tian Fu had a good relationship and would definitely come forward to cover up the matter. As for how much of it was sympathetic to Xiahou Ding, it was hard to say.

"I have no problem. Please write a private prosecutor by Xiahou Fujun. Then you two can sign the name. If something really happens, no one can escape."

"Sure, certain."

"In addition, please tell Prime Minister Tian. I don't care about how he makes money, but I'm digging a hole and burying me. This is only once, so I won't be an example. Otherwise, Liu Jian will be his role model."

Guan Fu shivered and nodded vigorously.

Liang Xiao conducted a thorough audit of Yuzhang Shipyard, then wrote a detailed report and sent people to the court.

The situation at Yuzhang Shipyard is not ideal. It is difficult to build the warships that the emperor needs within two years. He can do so for the veteran, but he will not take the blame for Xiahou Ding. Without a name for Xiahou Ding, it is the greatest sympathy. As for how Tian Fu explained to the emperor, it was Tian Fu's own business.

The emperor will definitely be popular. But embezzling the shipyard funds is not enough to defeat the Tianzi.

Xiahou Ding knew that it was a lot of trouble and had no intention of handling the Lushan Monastery. Liang Xiao took it himself and told the craftsmen what to do and what else you can do, and you will not lose one money. Even if the government does not give it to me, I can afford it.

After taking this reassurance, the craftsmen felt at ease and continued to speed up the construction.

The shipyard was unable to do work for a while. Liang Xiao simply focused on the villa in Lushan. He modified the drawings, increased the windows, and improved the lighting. Most houses in the Han Dynasty were not good, and the house was dim and the lights were also lit during the day. Liang Xiao didn't want the smell of oil smoke in the house, so he decided to build a new house with glazed windows.

After listening to Liang Xiao's revision suggestions, the craftsmen were so scared that they could not hold their tongues away for a long time. Using glass as windows? How rich is this champion Hou so much that he is so luxurious. However, they dare not go against Liang Xiao's intentions and can only act according to the orders.

Liang Xiao sent people to Huainan and asked Huainan King Liu An to work overtime to produce the glass he needed.

After reading the letter sent by Guan Fu, Tian Fu's ugly face became even more unsightly.

Who is Xiahou Ding? He can no longer remember. There are more people begging him to buy an official position. Who remembers so many people who dug a hole to harm Liang Xiao? This is even more catching the wind and shadows, at least he has no impression of it.

Tian Fen invited his disciples to Ji Fu. When Ji Fu heard this, he had some impression. He confirmed that Xiahou Ding had spent 100 gold to buy an official position. After he got the prefect of Yuzhang, he was very grateful and often sent some Yuzhang's specialties. When he came last time, it was Liang Xiao's wedding. Ji Fu mentioned the conflict between Liang Xiao and Tian Fen. Perhaps Xiahou Ding wanted to show his loyalty and did these things.

Tian Fu understood as soon as he heard this. This was not Xiahou’s idea at all, it must be a request from blessing. The disciple is a minister. The king is worried about the humiliation of the minister. If the king is humiliated, the minister will die. He was bullied so embarrassed by Liang Xiao, and it is normal for the disciple to vent his anger for him.

"Liang Xiao is not an ordinary person. Don't do such a thing in the future." Tian Feng scratched his eyebrows. "Unless there is a way to kill him, don't act rashly."

"Here." Yifu agreed. He didn't take this matter into account. Not to mention that Guan Fu had already come forward to suppress the matter, it wouldn't matter even if he didn't. Such a little thing wouldn't hurt Tian Fu.

Tian Fen asked, "How do you explain to Your Majesty?"

Yifu said, "I'm afraid I'll lose some money this time." He thought for a while and said, "But this is also an opportunity. If you can find evidence of Liang Xiao and Guan Fu's greed, you might be able to suppress Dou Ying's limelight."

Tian Fu frowned, pondered for a long time, and sighed. "Xiahou Ding, this business has suffered a huge loss."

The emperor frowned. "How could the situation in Yuzhang Shipyard be so bad?"

Tian Feng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, since the establishment of this dynasty, there has been no major war in the south, and it is expected to be relaxed in combat preparations. However, this is also a pro and con, and there is no framework to show off. With Your Majesty's wiseness and Liang Xiao's ability, in a few years, Yuzhang Shipyard will reappear in the Qin Dynasty, even more than that, just like the situation in the northern border."

The emperor glanced at Tian Fu and his face cleared a little. "After that being said, the expenses required are much higher than expected. The war in northern Xinjiang has not yet ended. Where can I raise the required expenses? Can the Grand Secretary’s Estate get them?"

"The Grand Minister's Governor is fully supporting the war in the northern border, and I'm afraid I can't get much money. However, when the preparations are completed, it should be almost done. Your Majesty, I am willing to contribute a thousand gold to solve the urgent problem."

The emperor was surprised and looked at Tian Fu for a moment, feeling suspicious. "Why did the Prime Minister take the initiative to collect the money?"

Tian Fu sighed and pretended to be guilty. "Your Majesty, as the Prime Minister, I have the position of selecting wise men. Xiahou is definitely not competent, so I am not good at employed people. Even if Your Majesty forgives me, I will be willing to pay money to atone for my sins. In terms of personal affairs, as a country relative, I am a matter of sharing the worries of the court. I have limited abilities and cannot fight on the battlefield or speak on the subject of my studies and rituals. I just donate some money and show my heart."

The emperor nodded, with a rare gentleness. "I have received your wishes. I don't need it. The southern expedition is not in a hurry. Even if it is delayed for a year or two, there is no problem. However, the war in northern Xinjiang is very important, and the soldiers are about to be triumphant. The rewards they deserve should be raised as soon as possible. Mo Han's hearts are as follows."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already arranged it. Even the rewarded land should be prepared in place."

"It's so good." The emperor was very satisfied and said a while to Tian Fu again, as relaxed and comfortable as a family chat.

Tian Fen was a little anxious. He reminded the emperor in secret that Dou Ying was too popular recently and had a reputation, but the emperor was indifferent. This is good. He and Dou Ying are not opponents of the same level at all. If this continues, he will probably be suppressed by Dou Ying again.

Tian Feng thought about it and made a decision, and said inadvertently. "Your Majesty, I heard that Liang Xiao had stayed at Guan's house for a few days when he was traveling south. Guan Fu was very attentive to entertain him."

"What's wrong?"

"I sent Guan Fu as the deputy to let him balance Liang Xiao. Now that the two have become friends of age, wouldn't it be a loss of the original intention of the court? Han said that although he is loyal and honest, he is young and rich, he is probably not the opponent of the grassroots like Liang Xiao. According to my opinion, it is better to send another military supervisor."

The emperor turned his eyes. "There is no need to supervise the army. It is better to choose a suitable prefect of Yuzhang. In addition, the Yuzhang Shipyard has a heavy responsibility and cannot be managed by Yuzhang anymore. It is better to be managed by the Shaofu, and it is better to be managed directly by the imperial court."

Tian Fu's face changed and he was disappointed. Xiahou Ding lost his official position and made a vacancy for the prefect of Yuzhang. He was about to send another person to take office. Unexpectedly, the emperor transferred the Yuzhang Shipyard directly to the Shaofu. The Shaofu is the emperor's private residence and is not under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Office. In this way, what else can Yuzhang County get?

Tian Fu complained secretly, but did not dare to argue, for fear that the emperor would be suspicious. The situation is no longer as before. The two wives from the Chen family were pregnant, and Dou Ying was resurrected and had a great reputation. The Chen and Dou families were rekindled. Even the Queen Mother dared not easily make the emperor unhappy, so he did not dare to cause trouble for himself.

Tian Feng retreated. As soon as he left the hall, the smile on the emperor's face dissipated. He stared at Tian Feng's back and chuckled with contempt. He turned around and said to Guo Sheren who was hidden behind the curtain: "It is said that Dou Ying entered the palace, and someone said his gossip, and he must come and give me an explanation."

Guo Sheren responded and left with a smile.
