Qiqi didn't give an answer, in fact, even if she didn't say Hu Xiaotian, she could guess that it was Hong Beimo's idea, and there was also Taishi Wen Chenghuan.
Hu Xiaotian smiled indifferently: "Li Tianheng's wolf ambition, when he sacrificed the banner of the king of Qinqin, and now that the emperor has re-ascended the throne, he no longer mentions the matter of leading the army to join and re-incorporate Xichuan into the territory of Dakang, which is simply the heart of self-reliance, does the emperor still have extravagant hopes for this person?"
Qiqi sighed and said, "Dakang is now embattled, and he can't make enemies everywhere. “ Hu Xiaotian said: "That's why the emperor came up with such an idea to crown Li Tianheng as the king to stabilize him" Qiqi said: "Since Xichuan is already under his de facto control, we might as well be more generous, although Li Tianheng has the intention of rebellion, but this person still regards himself as a loyal minister on the surface, he put my imperial uncle under house arrest in Xizhou, his intentions are self-evident, if one day His Majesty dies, he will regard himself as Dakang orthodoxy, support and manipulate a puppet regime." ” Hu Xiaotian had already heard Yang Lingqi talk about this matter before, and couldn't help but nod and said, "Your opinion coincides with that of a friend of mine." ” Qiqi's beautiful eyes lit up: "What kind of person" Hu Xiaotian said: "An unambitious talent, his name is Yang Lingqi, and I want to recommend him to the imperial court." ” Qiqi said: "If you have the opportunity to arrange for me to meet, the imperial court is at the time of employing people, if this person has real talent and learning, I can make an exception." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded: "I plan to take him with him when I send an envoy to Xichuan, he has a deep understanding of the current situation, and it will definitely help me a lot on my trip to Xichuan." ” Qiqi said: "You choose the personnel of the mission yourself, and I will try my best to meet the conditions you need." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "I always feel that this trip to Xichuan will not be peaceful, and some people are afraid that I will not return." ” Qiqi said: "It's better for me to send my father-in-law to go with you."
With his martial arts, he will surely keep you safe on this journey. ” Hearing this, Hu Xiaotian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, you didn't send him with me to protect me, but I was afraid that you wanted to spy on me." ” Qiqi couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "In your heart, I have always been scheming, it may have been possible in the past, but after we got engaged."
We should share weal and woe with each other. ” Hu Xiaotian looked at Qiqi's childish pretty face and couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's just a marriage contract for you, but it's a shackle for me, I've promised to help you do things wholeheartedly, I can't imagine that you are not satisfied, you have to let me be your concubine to be satisfied, don't be a horse, a cow and a horse, is it possible that I will be ridden by you for the rest of my life."
Qiqi's pretty face showed a rare shyness. whispered: "Don't worry, as long as you treat me well, I will never bully you in the future, nor embarrass your family, let alone treat you as a horse." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "In this case, promise me a condition first." ” Qiqi blinked his eyes, full of vigilance: "Where did you get so many conditions, didn't you promise to spare you twice not to die before?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "You let my father go first." ” Qiqi heard that it was this condition.
Naturally, it wasn't difficult for her, so she nodded happily and said, "Okay, I'll let people do it."
Send Master Hu back to the mansion tonight. ” Qiqi did what he said, when Hu Xiaotian returned to Shangshu Mansion, Hu Buwei had already returned home one step ahead of him, and the two couples were talking about their son's marriage in their room, and when they heard that Hu Xiaotian was back, they hurriedly summoned him to the room.
Ask Hu Xiaotian for his final decision.
Hu Xiaotian's heart finally let go when he saw his father return safely, and said with a smile: "I just met Princess Yongyang, and this matter is settled." ” Xu Fengyi sighed and said, "The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, but in this way, I am afraid that you will no longer have freedom in this life."
"The son is a piece of meat in the mother's heart.
Xu Fengyi cares for Hu Xiaotian very much, even if Qiqi is a golden branch and jade leaf in her eyes, she may still not be worthy of her son.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Becoming a colt is also a beautiful thing that people all over the world admire, why should my mother be unhappy?"
Hu Buwei nodded and said to Xu Fengyi: "Fengyi, you go to rest first, I have something to discuss with Tian'er alone." ” Xu Fengyi shook her head, got up and said, "I'll go out for a walk, you two will hide everything from me." ” After Xu Fengyi left, Hu Xiaotian came to sit down next to his father and said with a smile: "Dad is fine?"
Hu Buwei said with a smile: "It's nothing, Princess Yongyang is polite to me, I was originally released tomorrow, but I didn't expect someone to send me back tonight, probably because of you."
He paused, stared at his son's face, and said meaningfully: "This time, I have wronged you." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Dad, the child has nothing to be wronged about. ” Hu Buwei sighed and said: "Your mother has told me, in fact, you already have a favorite woman, isn't this proposal to make your hopes come to naught." “ Hu Xiaotian said: "Feelings are one thing, marriage is another, it seems that Dakang has indeed come to the point of exhaustion, otherwise he would not take the initiative to marry our Hu family." ” Hu Buwei nodded, narrowed his eyes and said: "Although the emperor is old, he should not be confused, and all the mediocre behaviors he has shown recently are simply confusing the outside world." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "He and Qiqi are singing double reeds, one sings red face, the other sings white face, the emperor wants to help Qiqi establish her prestige in a short period of time and gain the confidence of her subjects." ” Hu Buwei's eyes lit up, what he wanted to say was this, he didn't expect his son to see this matter so thoroughly.
Hu Buwei said: "Quan De'an came to me to mention your family affairs, and I knew that the emperor still had no intention of giving up on him." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "After I became engaged to Qiqi, our Hu family and the royal family became a family, and the Jinling Xu family had to be tied to the same boat whether they wanted it or not." ” Hu Buwei said: "This is exactly what the Xu family doesn't want to happen." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "In fact, there is no loss for us. ” Hu Buwei said: "What do you mean?"
Hu Xiaotian listened to it, and all the movements in the front and back of the house within a radius of five zhang could not escape his perception, and he was sure that no one was eavesdropping outside, so he whispered: "Dad, haven't you noticed that the emperor has tried his best, but the real purpose is to support Qiqi to ascend to the throne."
Hu Buwei pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Although I feel this way, I still dare not conclude, after all, Dakang has never had any woman ascend to the throne since the founding of the country, does the emperor really have the courage to break the rules of his ancestors and choose a woman to become the heir of the Dakang Dynasty?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The emperor is old, he may die at any time, it is impossible for him not to consider the matter of the successor, looking at the Dakang royal family, only Qiqi is really suitable to inherit the throne, and everything the emperor has done recently is obviously preparing for Qiqi to take power." ” Hu Buwei nodded and said, "It shouldn't be wrong to hear you say that." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "It's just that I can't guess the emperor's move, he chose me to become the future concubine, it shouldn't be as simple as tying our Hu family and the Xu family in the same boat in this way and jointly supporting Qiqi." ” Hu Buwei said: "If you marry Princess Yongyang, our Hu family should do our best for the princess."
"The son and Qiqi got married, Princess Yongyang became the daughter-in-law of their Hu family, from this point of view, Hu Buwei must do his best for the interests of his son and daughter-in-law, if the old emperor really wants to hand over the authority of Dakang to Qiqi, Qiqi can become the empress of Dakang, Dakang's country is equal to half of the son, and helping Dakang is to help his son.
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "Although Qiqi is smart, he is still inferior to this old emperor in terms of scheming and scheming, Dad, I still suspect that the old emperor is not so simple, he proposed to our Hu family here and let me get engaged to Qiqi, but over there he asked me to go to Xichuan as an envoy and announce the canonization of Li Tianheng as king." ” Hu Buwei couldn't help but gasp when he heard that his son was going to be sent to Xichuan again, Li Tianheng was his former in-laws, he sent his son to Xichuan, the purpose was to leave a way out for the Hu family, and later Li Tianheng supported the army to stand on his own, divided one side, and became the overlord of the southwest, and the Hu family was implicated because of this incident, and almost suffered a catastrophe.
Although their Hu family has unilaterally destroyed the marriage contract, now that the emperor has sent his son to Xichuan, it is difficult to guarantee that Li Tianheng will not bring up the old matter, and it is difficult to say how he will treat his son.
Hu Buwei said in a low voice: "Why did the emperor do this?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It is said that several ministers jointly promoted me to Xichuan. ” Hu Buwei frowned and said: "The emperor's intentions are really incomprehensible, why do you have to go" Hu Xiaotian said: "The child can't figure out the reason for this, but one thing is certain, this trip to Xichuan will definitely not be peaceful." ” Hu Buwei said: "Li Tianheng is ambitious, and he has never been willing to live under others, and the emperor actually hopes to use the matter of being crowned a king to influence him." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "The emperor didn't expect to influence him, he just wanted to temporarily stabilize Li Tianheng in this way, after all, Dakang and Xichuan still have common interests in front of him, if Li Tianheng breaks the current situation, it will inevitably give Dayong a chance." ” Hu Buwei said: "It's just why he wants to send you?"
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Long Xuanen sat cross-legged on the white jade platform with his upper body, his body was covered with golden needles, and many of them trembled with the beating of his pulse.
Hong Beimo glanced at the little incense left in the incense burner, and then pulled out the golden needles on Long Xuanen's body one by one.
Long Xuanen breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly opened his eyes, and said in a low voice: "This method of golden acupuncture is really good, every time I do acupuncture, I feel like I am reborn." ” Hong Beimo smiled and said: "As long as Your Majesty insists on doing what you do, there will be no problem in prolonging your life." ” Long Xuan'en said: "What I am looking forward to most now is the elixir refined by Aiqing, if it can be successful, I can rejuvenate myself." ” Hong Beimo said: "It's a pity that the Danding chapter of Qiankun Kaiwu has never been found, and the minister can only figure it out and study it on his own, and the progress is much slower."
