Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 473

Facing Dou Ying, Tian Fu felt an inexplicable sense of inferiority complex, even though he was the prime minister now, with more than [-] households in the city, more than twice that of Dou Ying.

Dou Ying was born in a noble family, and the Tian family was just common people in Changling before that.

Dou Ying is handsome, but Tian Fu is ugly and short.

Although Dou Ying is a foreign relative, he was named a marquis with military merits, and Tian Fu has no merits, which is purely nepotism.

Dou Ying has profound knowledge and strong ability to handle affairs. He was the prince and Taifu in the Jingdi Dynasty.And Tian Fu is considered talented among Tian and Wang brothers, and he is incomparable with Dou Ying.His greatest ability is to eat, drink and have fun. Even if he becomes the prime minister, he is only acting according to the imperial edict.

Compared with Dou Ying, Tian Fu is nothing.What's more, when Tian Fu was not well-known, Dou Ying was already in high position and authority. In order to be able to obtain an official position, Tian Fu used to treat Dou Ying with respect as a son and nephew.I didn't think so at the time, but now that I think about it, it's a very embarrassing thing.He always wanted to earn back this face, but he never found the opportunity.

Seeing Dou Ying smiling at this moment, Tian Fu instinctively felt that Dou Ying was mocking him again, and couldn't help but get angry, so of course he had to use the topic to attack.

Before Liang Xiao could react, Liu Ling nudged him and gave him a wink.Liang Xiao understood, went up to greet him, deliberately reprimanded Dou Ying and said, "Wei Qihou, I'm a warrior, you came to my house to talk about learning, do you want to see my jokes?"

Dou Ying had no intention of arguing with Tian Fu, but seeing Liang Xiao obstructing her, she retreated. "Haha, Junhou is joking, how dare you dare."

Liang Xiao turned around and said to Tian Fu: "Prime Minister, please take your seat."

Tian Fu looked at Princess Guantao who was sitting in the chief seat motionless, her ugly face twitched for a moment, waved her hands, and said in a mysterious way: "I won't sit down anymore, there are many affairs in the mansion, those in Jiangdu are investigating Liu Jian's case , the matter of Dixin County in Henan has not been discussed yet, I have to hurry up and go to the palace."

Liang Xiao nodded repeatedly, his face full of admiration. "The prime minister works hard on state affairs, hard work, hard work."

Tian Fu pretended to be modest and said a few words of insincere blessings, put down the gift, and walked away.

All the people in the seat gave a knowing chuckle, and then put Tian Fu behind them, chatting and laughing happily.

-

Tian Fu went out, got into the car, and looked at the bustling Liang family, his face was so dark that he was about to drip.He condescended to come to Liang's house to congratulate him, but left halfway, Liang Xiao showed no sincerity in persuading him, and there were only a handful of people who got up to see him off, it was really shameful.

He didn't go home, he went straight out and came to Changle Palace.

The Queen Mother was very surprised. "Why did you come here, shouldn't you be drinking at Liang's house?"

Tian Fu squeezed out a few tears, fell to the ground crying, and recounted what happened just now. "Sister, my face was really hot and my butt was cold today."

The Queen Mother was furious. "This Liang Xiao is really unreasonable. I gave him face and asked the dignified prime minister to congratulate him, and he repays me like this? I was still alive, and he bullied my brother like this. When I die, wouldn't he want to Treat you like Liu Jian?"

Tian Fu felt that something was wrong, and comparing him with Liu Jian was really unlucky.But in front of the Queen Mother, he didn't dare to point it out, he just cried harder.

The queen mother was even more angry and asked the emperor to be called.Although Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace are only separated by a road, the two palaces are too big, and it took more than half an hour for the emperor to rush over.Waiting made the Queen Mother even more annoyed. When she saw the Son of Heaven, she snapped, "Is Your Majesty busy?"

The Son of Heaven glanced at Tian Fu, who had a mournful face but no tears, and said calmly, "It turns out that my uncle is here, and I am so tired that I can find it."

Tian Fu was surprised. "Your Majesty looking for me?"

"Well, Dou Ying submitted a memorial. I couldn't decide for a while, so I sent someone to invite you into the palace for discussion. The people in the prime minister's mansion said that you went to the Liang family, but the Liang family did not find you. I am still thinking about it. , where have you been, I didn't expect to come to the palace."

Tian Fu was very embarrassed.When the Queen Mother heard that the emperor could not make a decision, she wanted to ask Tian Fu to discuss it, and she felt calmer. "Although your uncle is not at Liang's house, Dou Ying is at Liang's house. Liang's house is very lively now, half court civil and military officials have arrived."

"I asked Dou Ying to go." The emperor took his seat, took out a memorial from his sleeve, and pushed it in front of Tian Fu. "He said that this memorial was inspired by Liang Xiao, but he didn't explain clearly. I asked him to ask again. Uncle, you should read it too."

Tian Fu had just heard about it from Dou Ying not long ago, and was about to take a look, but he didn't care to pretend to be pitiful, so he quickly opened it to take a closer look.Seeing that he was so serious, the Queen Mother, who was full of resentment, didn't dare to disturb him, she just complained in a low voice.The emperor listened, just nodded, but did not comment.

Dou Ying's memorial was very long, and Tian Fu read it for a long time before finishing it. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was a bit messy, and he didn't know how to evaluate it.He wanted to refute Dou Ying's opinion, but based on his understanding of the emperor, what Dou Ying said seemed to be exactly what the emperor wanted, and if he objected rashly without a suitable reason, he was afraid of offending the emperor.

"Uncle, what do you think of Dou Ying's remarks?" the emperor said calmly.

"This...seems familiar." Tian Fu was vague.

"Yes, it's very similar to a suggestion Liang Xiao made before. However, Dou Ying is a veteran of the three dynasties. His vision is not comparable to Liang Xiao's, and his diction is ten times stronger than Liang Xiao's."

Hearing the emperor's evaluation, Tian Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and said without hesitation: "However, I think that although he quoted the classics, the essence did not go beyond Liang Xiao's barriers. He just said it again, it’s not worth mentioning.”

The emperor nodded slightly, paused, and said again: "Although that is the case, Dou Ying is devoted to the court, and he still does not forget to advise the court in his spare time. His ambition is commendable. Liang Xiao has vision, but he is too young to use it to convince the public Dou Ying is mature and prestigious. If you can use them together, you can also see the court's desire to seek talents. Uncle, you respected him very much back then, but now you are the prime minister, but he has been at home all the time. There are some people who say Woolen cloth."

Tian Fu was startled, his face became tense, and he looked timidly at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly. "Is Your Majesty going to use him again? The late Emperor once said when he was there that Dou Ying was complacent and easy, so he didn't take it seriously. Last time you let him be your chancellor and caused all kinds of troubles, isn't it enough?"

The emperor smiled. "I have my uncle as my prime minister, so why would I let him be my prime minister? I just want him to be a courtier to show respect and favor to the old minister. If the queen mother thinks it's inappropriate, then it's fine, but my uncle has to be open-minded Don't be distracted by those gossips, and come to disturb the queen mother again."

The queen mother heard the emperor's implication and dared not say any more.

The emperor sighed again. "Uncle, I really hope this suggestion comes from you. You are both the prime minister and the uncle of the country. You have to show some achievements so that people can know that the court appoints people on their merits instead of cronyism. The matter of setting up counties in Henan is discussed. It's been half a year, when will you come up with a charter? It took only three months to capture Henan."

Tian Fu blushed and was speechless.The emperor sighed, complained a few more words, got up and left.

The queen mother's face was dull, and she gave Tian Fu a hard look. "Look at you, you didn't ask clearly, and you came to file a complaint, which made me ashamed. I asked you to go to the Liang's house to congratulate you, just to hope that you and Liang Xiao would get closer, and don't let Dou Ying take advantage of the loophole. It's good now , you leave the meeting halfway, let Dou Ying and Liang Xiao talk freely, maybe there will be some new tricks in two days? It will be up to you then."

Tian Fu wants to cry but has no tears.This result was not what he expected at all, it was just asking for trouble.

The Queen Mother was sullen again for a while. "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, regret is useless. Let Dou Ying take a spare job, so that he doesn't hide at home every day and doesn't know what to do. Watching it in front of your eyes will make you feel more at ease."

In the Liang family, the guests and hosts parted happily.

Liang Xiao saw off the last batch of guests before returning to the newly furnished room.Liu Ling was sitting on the edge of the couch, resting his chin and thinking.Hearing Liang Xiao's footsteps, she got up to meet him.

"are you tired?"

"It's okay." Liang Xiao smiled wryly, "Those Lizi, with bad intentions, actually wanted to pour me down and ruin my daughter Chunxiao. It's really hateful."

Liu Ling glared at him. "Okay, you are also a little crazy, and you can't blame others."

Liang Xiao hugged Liu Ling in his arms and laughed triumphantly. "As a commoner, I am married to a proud girl like you, can't I be more crazy? If it is someone else, I am afraid that if I am not crazy, I will fly to the sky, right?"

"Fortune comes with misfortune. How do you know that today's prosperity will not bring about tomorrow's blame?" Liu Ling dragged Liang Xiao to the side of the couch, asked him to sit down, took off his shoes, brought water for him, and prepared to give Liang Xiao Xiao wash feet.Liang Xiao wondered: "Why do you need to do these things yourself? You are a bride today."

"I also want to be like an ordinary woman, to be a bride in peace, to be a husband and a child. It's a pity that I don't have this opportunity."

Liang Xiao blinked, then suddenly laughed, raised his foot, and pinched Liu Ling's nose with his toes.Liu Ling patted him away, pinched him lightly, and said angrily, "Okay, stop making trouble, do you know how worried I am now?"

"I know what you're worried about, but I don't think it's necessary." Liang Xiao squeezed his eyes. "What you should worry about is whether you will be laughed at when you wake up tomorrow morning. You are a bride, and there are a few old people in my family."

Liu Ling was stunned for a moment, then understood Liang Xiao's meaning, gritted his silver teeth, and stretched out his hand.Liang Xiao took advantage of the situation to hug her and rolled onto the couch.Just as Liu Ling was about to struggle, Liang Xiao suddenly said loudly: "Okay, it's getting late, and those who can hear can hear it, so everyone should go away. Although you hid well, you forgot one thing, I am a shooter Sir. Do you have such good ears if you want to hear my corner?"

There was silence outside.

Liang Xiao said again: "Brother Qin, is that new sword of yours your wife? You can't even take it off the corner of the wall, and scratched the newly painted wall of my house. You have to pay me."

After a while, there was a scream, followed by a few laughing and cursing, it was Qin Ge's voice.

"This cunning boy, why didn't you say it earlier, causing me to squat here for half a night, and I can't even drink to my heart's content. I will forgive you today, but I will come back to bother you in two days. I must get drunk."

Liang Xiao laughed loudly and said, "Waiting for you anytime!"
