After Zuo Xingjian handed over Baiquan City to Zhuge Guanqi, he took the opportunity to flee with his subordinates, he thought that Zu Da would attack the city on a large scale, but later sent people to inquire about the news back, only said that Zu Da led those people into the city, and there was no battle, but it was Zu Da who led his subordinates to take refuge in Hu Xiaotian.
Zuo Xingjian was stunned when he heard this, Zu Da took refuge in Hu Xiaotian, didn't he say that they were fine, but more than 10,000 people occupied Baiquan City, obviously he was the Taishou of Baiquan City, Zuo Xingjian didn't feel a little regretful, he knew that Zu Da and the gang were going to surrender, so he shouldn't have led his troops to leave, and now he was afraid that he would not be able to face Zhu Guanqi when he went back, Zuo Xingjian thought about it and finally decided to go directly to Dongliang County.
Zhu Guanqi didn't come to recruit himself, since Hu Xiaotian had this intention, he might as well change from passive to active now, and go directly to Hu Xiaotian to show his loyalty.
It is already the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, but there is no festive atmosphere for the coming of the New Year in Kangdu, and the streets are also sparse and deserted, and most of the shops on both sides of the street are not open.
The sky over the capital was covered with clouds, and there was no sunlight, and the atmosphere was particularly depressing and gloomy.
Taishi Wen Chenghuan walked quickly into the palace of nourishing the heart, today the emperor canceled the originally scheduled court meeting, the ministers have different opinions, thinking that the emperor's move is related to the disappearance of the imperial grain, and some people speculate that the emperor is unwell, but one thing can be certain, the emperor must be in a bad mood recently.
Hearing that Wen Chenghuan was coming, Long Xuanen couldn't think of it, so he asked Wang Qian to send him away, but Wang Qian quickly went and returned, only saying that Wen Chenghuan had something urgent and had to be seen, so Long Xuanen reluctantly left the bed and got up from the intertwined limbs of the two new beauties.
Wang Qiandu secretly admired the emperor, he still had such energy at such an age, and he even suspected that the emperor in front of him seemed to be a different person.
Since leaving the Ethereal Mountain Lingxiao Palace, he suddenly rejuvenated, at the beginning, Wang Qian thought that he was returning to the light, but later found that the emperor's body was like a day by day, and his face had become much younger, which should be related to the elixir that Hong Beimo specially refined for him.
Could it be that there is really an elixir of immortality in this world?
Wen Chenghuan waited for half an hour outside the Heart Cultivation Hall before being admitted, and with his many years of experience as a minister by the emperor's side, he could judge that he had not come at the right time.
When he followed Wang Qian into the Heart Cultivation Palace, Wang Qian kindly reminded: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood, and Master Wen needs to be careful when he speaks." ” Wen Chenghuan smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Thank you, princess."
"Anyone would be in a bad mood if there was a disappearance of the emperor's grain, but Wen Chenghuan came today to bring good news to the emperor.
Long Xuanen had finished bathing, straightened his waist and stood in front of the window, stretching his arms, his back was straight and strong.
Sunlight penetrated through the window and shrouded his body, outlining a golden outline for his whole person, appearing high, mysterious and noble.
Wen Chenghuan looked at the back of the old emperor and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, just looking at the back, he could hardly believe that this was Long Xuanen himself, not only Wang Qian, but almost all the courtiers had discovered the emperor's changes.
They don't think that the emperor has taken any elixir of immortality, but think that it is power that makes the emperor younger.
Got out of house arrest and re-ascended to the throne, and it was the desire for power that made Long Xuanen's body and mind young again.
Wen Chenghuan bowed and saluted: "Long live the old minister to see my emperor, long live, long live."
Long Xuanen took a deep breath of fresh air, and said a little impatiently: "Okay, if you have anything to say, say it as soon as possible." ” Wen Chenghuan said: "If it is not urgent, how dare the old minister disturb the emperor's rest."
That's the case, the minister came to report a great good thing to the emperor. ” Long Xuanen turned around and looked at Wen Chenghuan suspiciously, even if he racked his brains, he couldn't think of any other good things in Dakang, but there was a great thing that Hu Xiaotian was willing to donate 300,000 loads of grain, but the first batch of grain was gone before it arrived in the capital.
Thinking of this, Long Xuanen was a little annoyed.
He was very disdainful of Wen Chenghuan's behavior of selling Guanzi, and said in a low voice: "If the Taishi has nothing important, I still have to go to eat."
"Issuing an eviction order in this way is already very face-saving for Wen Chenghuan, an old minister.
Wen Chenghuan smiled and said: "There is indeed a great thing, does Your Majesty remember the matter of letting the ministers come forward to receive the envoys of Dayong?"
Long Xuanen frowned, Wen Chenghuan didn't say that he almost forgot about it, and said in amazement: "Hasn't the envoy left yet?"
Wen Chenghuan secretly scolded in his heart, this guy is really a mediocre and useless monarch, he doesn't care about national affairs, is he really ready to give up on himself, and he has no intention of saving Dakang, so it's a great thing.
Wen Chenghuan said respectfully: "I haven't left yet" Long Xuanen said: "I have already rejected them, why are you still not leaving?"
Moon Seung-hwan said: "Because the situation has suddenly changed again. ” "What has changed" Wen Chenghuan said: "Xue Lingjun, the eldest princess of Dayong, went to Dongliang County to negotiate with Hu Xiaotian, and an agreement has been reached, and Hu Xiaotian promised to return the Dongluocang that the soldiers fought hard to Dayong. ” "What" Long Xuanen's eyes widened, he didn't know about this, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What right does he have to make his own decisions, why is such a big thing without my consent, does he still have me in his eyes?"
Wen Chenghuan lost no time in instigating: "Hu Xiaotian's plans are not clear, but he should not have taken His Majesty's feelings into account in reaching an agreement with Xue Lingjun in private. ” Long Xuanen said angrily: "The vertical son is arrogant, thinking that the sky is high and the earth is far away, and I can't cure him?"
Wen Chenghuan sneered secretly in his heart, what kind of majesty are you playing, if you really can't cure him, Hu Xiaotian is afraid that there is no emperor like you in his eyes.
He said softly: "The emperor is angry, Hu Xiaotian's wolf ambition, since he sat in Dongliang County, he has been quietly developing his strength, expanding to the surroundings, declaring that he is loyal to Dakang, after capturing Dongluocang, there are many people in the court who speak for him, saying that he is the hope of Dakang Zhongxing, but the old minister does not think so. ” Long Xuanen said: "Speak" Wen Chenghuan said: "Hu Xiaotian took the small Dongluocang but now wants to return it, which is equivalent to not occupying an inch of Dayong's land, and Wuxing County has fallen into his hands, in fact, he has embezzled a lot of land in Dakang during this time, and has strengthened a lot of power, and the minister has received definite news that he is now conscripting a large number of troops, on the one hand, he and Dayong secretly reached a non-aggression agreement, on the other hand, they are rapidly expanding their military strength, and their intentions are self-evident. ” Long Xuanen nodded and said, "If you don't say it, I also know that he has a different heart." ” Wen Chenghuan said: "The disappearance of the imperial grain this time is extremely strange, and the specific situation is not clear. ” Long Xuanen said angrily: "I don't know how to know how to know Jiang Zhengyang's escort of the imperial grain, how did I get to Yun Ze I have already received an urgent secret report from Baiquan City, Jiang Zhengyang and Yun Ze's water thief Ma Xingkong have long colluded, he guarded and stole himself, but he didn't expect that the water thief was also greedy and wanted to swallow this batch of grain alone." ” Wen Chenghuan said: "Your Majesty, but according to the news that the old minister has gotten, this matter should not be so simple, it is said that there was a water battle in Yunze that night, and the ships sent by the Bixin Mountain thieves to coordinate the transportation of grain were all wiped out. ” Long Xuanen said: "Your news is indeed not true, do you have any evidence, now rumors are flying all over the sky, the whole Dakang is watching my jokes, saying that I am not good at people, and I actually appointed a hungry wolf to escort the grain, the bastard is a bastard" He pointed to Wen Chenghuan and said: "You are also the one who suggested using Jiang Zhengyang." ” Wen Chenghuan couldn't help but scold in his heart, faint gentleman, it was obviously you who proposed it yourself, we just echoed it at the time, and now we actually want to put the responsibility on me, is it easy to bully the old man, but he didn't dare to argue, and said in a low voice: "At that time, no one thought that Jiang Zhengyang would be such a wolf ambitious figure, it was Prime Minister Zhou Cheng who raised this matter, and the minister just seconded it."
By the way, Zhou Ruiyuan was yin, anyway, Zhou Ruiyuan also said that Jiang Zhengyang was available.
Long Xuanen sighed and said, "You are eating the imperial grain and holding the money, but you don't know how to worry about me, which is really disappointing to me."
He whined and sat in his chair.
Wen Chenghuan said apologetically: "Your Majesty is angry, but the minister has the mistake of negligence, but after the accident in Yunze, Jiang Zhengyang lost his whereabouts, and he still has 20,000 soldiers and horses who were supposed to return to Yunyang, but they were intercepted by Hu Xiaotian's subordinates in Wangchunjiang, Hu Xiaotian moved so fast, it seems that he should have been aware of Jiang Zhengyang's devouring of food a long time ago, doesn't Your Majesty think that there is a big article in this?"
Long Xuanen said: "Until now, what is the use of you still telling me about this, what kind of thoughts Hu Xiaotian has, of course I know, do you want me to issue an order to dismiss him now, or are you willing to personally take my Shang Fang Sword to Dongliang County to help me behead him" Wen Chenghuan was speechless when asked, this old faint gentleman is really choking when he speaks.
Long Xuanen wanted to kill Hu Xiaotian more than anyone else, but it would be difficult to catch this tiger if he let the tiger return to the mountain, not to mention that this tiger already had considerable power through the development of this period of time, didn't Wen Chenghuan just say that Hu Xiaotian had secretly reached an agreement with Dayong Long Xuanen said: "You just said that the eldest princess of Dayong went to Dongliang County as an envoy" Wen Chenghuan nodded: "This is indeed the case." ” Long Xuanen suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, Dayong took a two-pronged approach, sending two envoys, it seems that they have made preparations from the beginning, but from the identity of the envoys, they actually value Hu Xiaotian more than themselves, and actually sent an eldest princess to Dongliang County in person, Long Xuanen said: "Dayong really wants to separate the relationship between me and Hu Xiaotian."
