Su Yuchi did not suffer any hostility in Dongliang County in the past two days, Hu Xiaotian gave him the greatest courtesy, not only personally accompanied Su Yuchi to visit the mountains and rivers near Dongliang County, but also had a grand banquet for Su Yuchi and his party every day.
Su Yuchi's heart was always in a state of apprehension, he knew that his situation was extremely dangerous, behind the peaceful surface, Hu Xiaotian was quietly competing with the imperial court, and his ending depended on the final decision of the imperial court.
"General Su, this glass of wine will be eaten for you."
Su Yuchi was slightly stunned, raised his head and looked at Hu Xiaotian who was full of spring breeze, not knowing what his words meant.
Could it be that things have changed, Hu Xiaotian wants to attack himself Hu Xiaotian said: "I just got the news that the emperor has pardoned Yan Xuanming and reinstated him as an official. ” Hearing this news, Su Yuchi actually felt a sense of relief in his heart, he understood that in this contest between the court and Hu Xiaotian, the latter finally gained the upper hand, and the emperor actually gave in to him, although Su Yuchi knew that he should not be happy, but he still felt a sense of relief, because he knew that he had finally passed the crisis on thin ice this time.
Su Yuchi said meaningfully: "Congratulations" Hu Xiaotian said: "When a person is old, he will always do some foolish things. ” Although he didn't specify who it was, Su Yuchi knew that he must be the emperor, Su Yuchi smiled, and it was rumored that Hu Xiaotian was ambitious and disrespectful to the court, but now it seems that it should be true, and he began to understand why the emperor was in a hurry to attack Hu Xiaotian.
Regardless of a courtier's loyalty to the court, Su Yuchi personally disagrees with the court's desire to get rid of Hu Xiaotian, at least not yet.
No matter what kind of ambition Hu Xiaotian has, after all, he has created the most favorable situation for Dakang in Yongjiang in the past few decades, although he is suspected of being self-reliant, but his existence has given Dakang and Dayong an additional barrier.
Let Dakang have more protection, from a strategic point of view, at least Hu Xiaotian's current existence in Yongjiang will be more beneficial than disadvantageous to Dakang.
Su Yuchi even imagined that after successfully getting rid of Hu Xiaotian, the Yongjiang defense line would face pressure, and whether the military spirit that had just been collected by Hu Xiaotian would be on the verge of collapse again.
And he himself is not completely sure whether he will succeed in controlling the situation here.
Su Yuchi said: "It is rumored outside that Lord Hu went to Python Island, and the news is boiling, which is not of much benefit to the military heart, why is Lord Hu unfairly spreading rumors" Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "The clean person is self-purifying, there are too many people outside who say bad things about me, if I explain everything, I am afraid that I will die of dry mouth and exhaustion, why should people care about other people's gossip when they live in the world, just understand what kind of person you are."
The more people who say about you, the more things you will prove, and it is better than doing nothing and shrinking into a shell as a turtle, don't you say?"
Su Yuchi laughed: "Lord Hu's illness really broke His Majesty's heart."
Hu Xiaotian said: "No one is born to be happy, and the emperor is no exception, in fact, a Ming monarch should live more tired than everyone else, only the monarch does his best."
Only the people have a good life, if the monarch only knows how to covet pleasure.
Then there will be no livelihood for the people. ” Su Yuchi said with a smile: "Lord Hu's words are always refreshing. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Everyone understands the truth, but unfortunately there are few monarchs in the world who are willing to suffer, in fact, taking a step back, if a monarch rules by doing nothing and knows people well, it can be regarded as a blessing for the country."
What I am most afraid of is that I am greedy for pleasure, but also cronyism, and I do not distinguish between good and bad, and I do not distinguish between loyalty and treachery. ” Su Yuchi said: "Master Hu seems to have a lot of grievances. ” Hu Xiaotian slowly lowered his wine glass and said, "If you were me, you would be as cold as water."
He sighed and said, "I have defeated the Yong army twice. did not get the slightest praise from the imperial court, but fell into a lot of suspicions, captured Dongluocang, but was blamed by the imperial court, saying that I took the initiative to provoke a war between the two countries, worried about burning myself, General Su, do you know that when I first came to Dongliang County, Zhao Dengyun, the commander of the Yongjiang Water Division, once persuaded me to give Dongliang County's hands to Dayong, such a general is a loyal and good general in the eyes of the emperor. ” Su Yuchi said: "Your Majesty, sometimes I don't know the actual situation here, and the information I hear is inevitably a little different.
He still tried his best to defend the court.
Hu Xiaotian said: "General Su's character and character have always been admired by me, and I have never thought of becoming an enemy with General Su." ” Su Yuchi smiled and said: "As ministers in the same palace, you and I will never become enemies."
But he knew in his heart that he almost became Hu Xiaotian's enemy, and Hu Xiaotian should have killed him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Hu has always focused on the overall situation, even though the court has doubts about Hu, but Hu's loyalty to the court has never wavered, General Su is the pillar of the country, and some things are also a last resort, I see this very clearly, otherwise we will not sit here calmly and drink and talk."
His words were a threat.
Su Yuchi smiled indifferently: "Lord Hu's gift of food, Su remembers it in his heart." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "If Dakang wants to get out of today's predicament, everyone must work together, General Su will sit in Yunyang in the future, and you and I will look at each other across the east and west banks of the Wangchun River, so we should watch and help each other." ” Su Yuchi nodded and said, "Su Mou has this intention. ” Hu Xiaotian picked up his glass and said: "Let's use this glass of wine to agree, and we will never be enemies of the outside world in the future."
Su Yuchi was stunned in his heart, personally, he and Hu Xiaotian did not have any hatred, but if the emperor asked him to deal with Hu Xiaotian, then what should be done in the future, first get through today's difficulties, he picked up the wine glass and touched Hu Xiaotian, and drank it all After drinking this glass of wine, Su Yuchi said: "Master Hu, Su came to Dongliang County this time to come with Imperial Doctor Yang, and I want to take him back with me when I leave this time."
Since the fire that day, Yang Huixu was taken down by Hu Xiaotian, and he is still nowhere to be seen, so Su Yuchi made this request, but he also knew in his heart that Hu Xiaotian had already known Yang Huixu's true purpose, and he might not be willing to let it go easily.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "That Imperial Doctor Yang is a quack, does General Su know his details?"
Su Yuchi was a little difficult to answer, if he said that he knew the details of Yang Huixu, wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting to his face that he had a part in the murder of Hu Xiaotian, if he said that he didn't know the details of Yang Huixu, then how could Hu Xiaotian be willing to hand over the person to him smoothly He said in a low voice: "The emperor sent him here is also a good heart, as for his medical skills, I don't know very well, but since I brought him here, I should also bring him back, as for what he did, Su will play it to the emperor according to the truth." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Yang Huixu is a martial arts master, he didn't come to treat me, but wanted to kill me."
Since Su Yuchi is so insistent, Hu Xiaotian is not afraid to make his words clear.
Su Yuchi looked embarrassed: "Lord Hu said this, which made Su embarrassed. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "It has nothing to do with General Su, there must be a culprit in this matter, if I really think that this matter was planned by General Su, then I will not send General Su to leave easily."
After he finished speaking, he laughed: "Just kidding, General Su must not mind." ” Cold sweat oozed from Su Yuchi's palm, he began to realize that he was not out of a dangerous situation, if he angered Hu Xiaotian, he was afraid that he would not be able to protect himself, and it seemed that he would not be able to take into account Yang Huixu's safety.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I will definitely ask the emperor about the matter of Imperial Doctor Yang."
On Python Jiao Island, Yan Tianlu had already received the latest news from Kangdu, and his subordinates reported to him: "Qiqi Island Lord, Emperor Dakang has issued a special amnesty decree to pardon Yan Xuanming for all charges and reinstate him as an official. ” Yan Tianlu was overjoyed when he heard this, it seemed that his treasure this time was indeed not wrong, he nodded and said, "Where is he now?"
"Yongyang Palace, it is said that he has submitted his resignation to the imperial court, and he will go to Haizhou in the near future."
Yan Tianlu nodded and said, "Okay."
At this time, a subordinate came to report: "Lord Yan Island, Yang Yuanqing wants to see you. ” Yan Tianlu suddenly showed a sneer on his face when he heard Yang Yuanqing's name, he took Hu Xiaotian's subordinates down in one fell swoop, in order to be realistic, Yang Yuanqing took the initiative to ask to be put in prison with other soldiers, how could he know that this matter was planned, Hu Xiaotian and Yan Tianlu had already reached an agreement, and he asked to see Yan Tianlu today because he estimated that there should have been news from Kangdu's side, as long as Yan Xuanming was released, it meant that Yan Tianlu could do something to Hu Xiaotian.
Under the guidance of the two pirates, he entered the Juyi Hall, and saw Yan Tianlu sitting there with a golden sword, although Yang Yuanqing was imprisoned, he did not suffer any torture in the past two days, and he was entertained with good wine and meat every day, he hugged his fists to Yan Tianlu and said: "See the island master" turned around and looked at both sides, and the rest of the people had already retreated, this time they were relieved.
Yan Tianlu laughed: "General Yang has been wronged. ” Yang Yuanqing had already guessed that the matter had been successful when he saw that his emotions were so high, and said with a smile: "Has Yan Gongzi escaped safely?"
Yan Tianlu nodded and said, "I just got the news that Emperor Dakang has issued a special pardon order, pardoned all his crimes, and reinstated him as an official." ” Yang Yuanqing said with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations" He stepped forward and said: "Island owner, we have fulfilled our promise, and now is the time for the island owner to fulfill his promise." ” Yan Tianlu said: "You must kill Hu Xiaotian" Yang Yuanqing said: "Yang is entrusted by others, and he must bring Hu Xiaotian's head back to Kangdu. ” Yan Tianlu said: "Actually, Hu Xiaotian treats you well, I can't imagine that you will take revenge on the traitor and seek glory, you are really an out-and-out villain" to be continued:
