Bao Bao said: "The emperor is very fond of him on the surface, but in fact he is greedy for men, and he has covered it up in the first few days of his ascension to the throne, but now he has no scruples at all, and he stays with Ji Feihua almost every day.
With the emperor's favor, Ji Feihua quickly grew in power, and now she has become the most powerful one in the palace. ” Hu Xiaotian was convinced of Bao Bao's words, not long ago he witnessed Ji Feihua's arrogance, even Liu Yuzhang, an old man who had served the emperor, was not taken seriously by him, and Ji Feihua openly confronted Quan De'an in the wine cellar that day.
He then thought of the main purpose of Quan De'an's arrangement for him to enter the palace, judging from the current situation, Shizhi was to deal with Ji Feihua.
If that were the case, the task would be daunting.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Didn't you say that Gonggong Quan was the most powerful one among the eunuchs?"
Bao Bao said: "Although Gonggong Quan has made great contributions to the emperor's accession to the throne, he is already old after all, and the emperor has been estranged from him a lot since he ascended the throne.
She took another step towards Hu Xiaotian and said: "A few days ago, Wei Hualin, the young eunuch of the palace who had a stroke, was going to come to the Siyuan Bureau to take over the position of Liu Yuzhang's father-in-law. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "It's strange, why did this Wei Hualin suddenly disappear?"
Bao Bao looked at him meaningfully with a pair of beautiful eyes, but she suspected that Hu Xiaotian had something to do with Wei Hualin's disappearance, after all, she had witnessed Hu Xiaotian get rid of Wang Desheng, with such a precedent, it was possible for him to kill one more Wei Hualin, but Bao Bao also knew that Wei Hualin was one of Ji Feihua's right-hand men, this person's martial arts were by no means general, and it was not so easy to eradicate him with Hu Xiaotian's martial arts.
She whispered, "I heard rumors. said that Wei Hualin's disappearance was related to Quan Gonggong.
Since His Majesty favored Ji Feihua, the conflict between the old and new forces in the palace has intensified, and the representatives of them are Ji Feihua and Quan De'an. ” Hu Xiaotian was actually aware of it in his heart, and now when he heard Bao Bao tell all the things, he suddenly understood it completely, and said in a low voice: "Quan De'an is in charge of the celebrant supervisor."
Now it seems that he has no intention of fighting for power, and has withdrawn from the palace, and works in Cheng'en Mansion on weekdays. ” Bao Bao said: "How can the minds of these people be easily pondered by people Quan De'an has withdrawn from the palace on the surface, but he is not willing to fail, but is plotting to expand his sphere of influence in the capital, have you heard of the recent formation of the Shence Mansion?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded, of course he had heard that at the beginning of the establishment of the Shence Mansion, Quan De'an asked him to persuade Murong Feiyan and Zhanpeng to join them.
Bao Bao said: "The Shence Mansion was ostensibly proposed by Taishi Wen Chenghuan.
But behind the scenes, it was Wen Chenghuan and Quan De'an who jointly planned to form the Shence Mansion in order to confront the Tianji Bureau. ” Hu Xiaotian really didn't know that there was so much inside information behind this, since Quan De'an was one of the founders of the Divine Strategy, why did he let Zhanpeng and Murong Feiyan join it, did he not trust Wen Chenghuan and this old guy was really suspicious.
Hu Xiaotian said: "In this way, the Tianji Bureau must have something to do with Ji Feihua."
Bao Baoxiu frowned slightly and said: "I don't know, although I belong to the Heavenly Machine Bureau, I only have contact with my father-in-law, and I don't know anything else." ” "Who is your father-in-law" Hu Xiaotian's question undoubtedly hit the nail on the head, and whether Bao Bao can answer this question truthfully is the key to determining whether they can cooperate.
Bao Bao bit her lip and said, "Mr.
Hong" Hu Xiaotian said: "Isn't Mr.
Hong's Tianji Bureau subordinate to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
Bao Bao said: "I only know that he is Mr.
Hong.
I have never seen him even in his true face. ” Hu Xiaotian saw that Bao Bao's expression did not look like a fake, and nodded slowly.
Bao Bao said: "I told you everything I knew.
Now you should trust my sincerity. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Okay, I won't kill you for the time being." ” Bao Bao said: "Invest in peach and repay Li, aren't you going to tell me something." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "You really have to make inches." ” Bao Bao said: "You don't need to hide it from me, is there a secret passage under this wine cellar, the eunuch surnamed Wang sneaked into here through the secret passage last time." ” Hu Xiaotian didn't hide it from her, nodded and said, "It's not early today."
The next time you come over, I'll take you on a quest to find the secret passage. ” Bao Bao also understood that today's delay was indeed too long, and if he continued to stay here, others would definitely be suspicious, so he nodded and said, "One word is a certainty."
Noticing Hu Xiaotian's gaze, he looked at her calves exposed outside the cloak.
Pretty face couldn't help but turn red, and said angrily: "You still have no clothes, I can't go out like this" When Bao Bao left the wine cellar, she changed into a eunuch's costume again, Shi Xuedong was confused, why did this palace maid wear a long skirt when she came, and when she left, she changed into a eunuch uniform, what did she and Hu Xiaotian do in the wine cellar, she had to change her clothes every time she came.
After Bao Bao left, Shi Xuedong couldn't help but grab Hu Xiaotian's arm, and said with curiosity: "Brother, what good things have you done down there?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled at him mysteriously and said, "I didn't do anything, I just drank and wet my clothes." ” Shi Xuedong was willing to believe it, sighed and said: "It's still a good brother, and after purification, you can still fascinate this little girl." ” Hu Xiaotian said with a straight face: "Brother Dong, this matter can only be known to you and me, and you must not tell a third party to know." “ Shi Xuedong nodded again and again: "Don't worry, brother, we are sworn brothers who live and die together, and I will not betray you at any time."
After finishing speaking, he sighed again and said, "That Bao Bao is really a stunner." ” Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but be a little strange when he saw his lustful soul and appearance: "Do you have a pure body, why do you still have such a strong interest in women?"
Shi Xuedong looked around, and said mysteriously: "Tell you a secret, I was born to be an egg, I once looked at Lang Zhong and said that I also had two, but one was born in the belly, so I escaped a catastrophe." ” Hu Xiaotian couldn't help laughing when he heard him, this thing is a cryptorchid for a long time.
Shi Xuedong smiled bitterly: "Don't laugh at me, I thought I was lucky to leave an egg, but now I understand that it's not a good thing, I think about women all day long, but things have been cut clean, and if it goes on like this, I'm about to be in a hurry." ” Hu Xiaotian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Dong, I'll find you two Buddhist scriptures to read another day, maybe you can cultivate your mind." ” Shi Xuedong said: "I'd better go take a cold shower to be happy." ” If you want to gain a foothold anywhere, you must deal with all aspects of your relationship.
Hu Xiaotian is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, he has not forgotten Fan Zongxi's relief for himself, he specially prepared two jars of wine, selected some seasonal fresh fruits, called two little eunuchs, and accompanied him to the imperial horse prison.
When Hu Xiaotian arrived at the Imperial Horse Prison, Fan Zongxi was about to leave the palace and go to the Royal Horse Farm, seeing Hu Xiaotian so polite, Fan Zongxi was also smiling.
He smiled and said: "Gonggong Hu is too polite, the first time you came to the door, the miscellaneous family should have done a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, how can you still have important things to do, you must go to the Red Mountain Horse Farm." ” Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Since Father-in-law Fan has official business, the little one will not bother, I came here this time to send some fruit wine brewed by the Siyuan Bureau for you to taste, if Grandpa Fan thinks it is good, just send someone to the Siyuan Bureau to find me in the future." ” Fan Zongxi said: "If Gonggong Hu has no important business, it is better to go to the Red Mountain Racecourse with me to have a look." ” Hu Xiaotian originally had the intention of making friends with Fan Zongxi, since the other party took the initiative to propose, of course he would not miss this opportunity, smiled and nodded: "Okay" He explained to the little eunuch who came with him, and asked them to go back and tell Liu Yuzhang where he went.
Since assuming the position of eunuch in the Siyuan Bureau, Hu Xiaotian has the right to enter and leave the palace freely.
Coming to the palace stables, Fan Zongxi asked Hu Xiaotian to prepare a black mount, and a group of six people left the palace and came to the Hongshan Horse Farm located in the northwest of the imperial city.
Today, Fan Zongxi did not bring the little eunuch Fugui with him, Hu Xiaotian's riding skills are now so-so, although he can't make any difficult movements on horseback, but there is no problem with galloping.
Fan Zongxi and Hu Xiaotian marched side by side at the front of the team, and he said softly: "Gonggong Liu has already asked someone to bring me a message, and I have already greeted you from the Tang family, and their brothers will not trouble you again in the future." ” Because of Liu Yuzhang's care for him, Hu Xiaotian's heart swelled with warmth, and he smiled: "There is Lao Fan's father-in-law who cares." ” Fan Zongxi said: "The children of the Tang family are really excessive, that is, your Hu family is in trouble now, and if you change it to the past, I am afraid that they will not even dare to look at you." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled indifferently, the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, the current situation just illustrates this, a series of recent events have made him truly aware of the importance of force, in the past, he was the young master of Shangshufu, went out to shout five and drank six, always accompanied by bodyguards, when he went to Qingyun as an official, there was Murong Feiyan by his side, and now he can only rely on himself for everything, he does not have enough strength, and he can't even save his life, just like few handsome people go to charge into battle, but once he falls from the handsome position to the point of being a pawn, You have to be at the forefront and do it yourself.
If it weren't for Quan De'an's ten-year internal strength, I'm afraid his strength would not have improved so quickly.
It's just that this method of transmitting gong is likely to have hidden worries, Quan De'an once hinted that if he gets out of his control, he may go crazy in the future, and people must have near-term worries if they have no long-term concerns, but at present, he has not yet appeared in an abnormal situation, and Quan De'an will not teach him a thorough solution before using him to achieve his goals, maybe he can only take one step at a time.
