Hu Xiaotian strode into the Qinzheng Palace, unlike other courtiers, he did not wear court clothes, just casually dressed in Confucian shirts, although he raised his hands and feet and was extraordinary, but such a dress into the palace was suspected of despising the court, entering the palace Hu Xiaotian did not spend too much trouble, first showed his identity, and then took out the colorful dragon gold medal given to him by Qiqi that year, the unattainable palace in the eyes of others is as simple as going to the neighbor's house to visit the door.
The choice to appear in public was also decided after careful consideration, after the desperate battle between the Dragon Spirit Victory Realm and Ren Tianqing, there was no point in continuing to hide his identity, he wanted to appear in the public eye openly, he wanted to re-establish his power and status in Dakang, this may be the best time for him.
Qiqi looked at Hu Xiaotian who was in the wind in the jade tree, Fang had mixed feelings in her heart, she couldn't deny that in these days and nights, she was worried about his safety all the time, and even worried about him more than Quan De'an, seeing that Hu Xiaotian was safe and sound, a heart finally let go, but Quan De'an has not returned so far, and Shiyou has already suffered an accident, Qiqi can't determine whether Quan De'an's disappearance is related to Hu Xiaotian, she even began to doubt Hu Xiaotian's motives, and began to suspect that what he said to him before was all a lie.
Hu Xiaotian bowed and said: "Weichen Hu Xiaotian sees the princess Chitose Chitose" "No courtesy, flat body" Qiqi said softly, Hu Xiaotian is the king with a different surname she decided to canonize, according to the rules, there is no need to bow down to her, Qiqi looked at Hu Xiaotian, and quickly said: "Give the seat" Although it was not an informal court meeting, there were three important ministers around, Hong Beimo, Zhou Ruiyuan, and Wen Chenghuan, who were not inferior to Hu Xiaotian in terms of status and status, and Qiqi had never given a seat, so it can also be seen that she favors one over the other.
Zhou Ruiyuan and Wen Chenghuan looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
After Hu Xiaotian thanked him, he sat down on the right side, and at the same time, the palace people also moved a few more chairs out, and invited Hong Beimo and the three of them to sit down as well, Qiqi did not ignore this detail.
After everyone sat down, Qiqi said: "Several Aiqing are all important ministers of the country, if you have anything to say, just speak freely, don't be restrained." ” Hong Beimo smiled and said: "When did the prince arrive, why didn't you hear any news before?"
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Not long after I arrived, I rushed to the palace to see Her Royal Highness the princess before I had time to settle down, lest Her Highness accuse me of not knowing etiquette and despising the court" He made another gesture to Qiqi, on the surface he was still very respectful, but Qiqi didn't think so, secretly scolded this hypocrisy, and said indifferently: "This palace hasn't said anything about you, your Zhenhai King is famous all over the world, who doesn't know your strength, I thought you had long forgotten that you were a courtier of Dakang." ” Anyone can hear that her words are full of accusations, Hu Xiaotian's high achievements are the master, this is a well-known fact, and this guy has long been out of the eyes of the court with his full wings, and has always ignored the orders of the court, and has done disrespectful things such as dissolving the marriage contract with Princess Yongyang, but since Princess Yongyang named him king, if he was pardoned for his past crimes in disguise, and later went to Yunze to attend his wedding ceremony, the relationship between them has also improved.
In Zhou Ruiyuan's view, Hu Xiaotian must have come to Kangdu at this time because of the situation, and the previous acceptance of refugees has formed a huge pressure, if he can't find the source of food in time, then Hu Xiaotian's territory is about to face a huge crisis.
Hong Beimo felt that Hu Xiaotian appeared too suddenly, and vaguely felt that the appearance of this guy might be related to many things that had happened recently, but he didn't have any evidence.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The minister has always been the courtier of Dakang, this has never changed, if Her Royal Highness the princess doubts the loyalty of the minister, how can she hand over such an important matter as sending Xichuan to the minister."
Wen Chenghuan sneered and said: "The prince originally came back to Kangdu on a mission, it seems that Her Royal Highness the princess entrusted non-people, and the situation in Xichuan has become worse instead of being eased." ” Hu Xiaotian looked at Wen Chenghuan with a smile and said: "Taishi means that the reason why Xichuan has fallen into today's situation is entirely because of me."
Wen Chenghuan asked rhetorically: "Has the prince completed the mission given to you by the princess?"
Hu Xiaotian laughed, his eyes were fixed on Wen Chenghuan, but his smile suddenly retracted, and he said coldly: "Xichuan envoy, I, Hu Xiaotian, have my own merits and demerits, if the princess says that I am guilty, I am willing to admit punishment, and now the princess has not said anything about me, you jumped out and blamed what is my intention, what hatred do I have with you, you target me everywhere" Wen Chenghuan was so angry that his white beard was cocked, and he said angrily: "You have failed to live up to His Highness's trust, failed to complete the mission of Xichuan, and you are still arrogant, do you know what the word shame is?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "When it comes to shame, I want to ask, when the Xichuan crisis, where are you in the Dakang Manchu Dynasty, can't you find a person who dares to enter Xichuan and leave the envoy, you Wen Taishi is highly respected and naturally knows shame, in this case, why don't you take the initiative to invite Ying to go to Xichuan to resolve the crisis" "You" Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "I used to hear people say that the older you get, the more afraid you are of death, I don't believe it yet, but now I completely believe it."
Wen Chenghuan said angrily: "You spew blood" He got up angrily and wanted to reason with Hu Xiaotian.
Zhou Ruiyuan coughed on the side and said, "The Taishi is angry, and listen to what His Highness has to say." ” Wen Chenghuan hugged Qiqi and said: "Your Highness, the old minister is by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, as long as the court is summoned, the old minister will never frown when he goes up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire." ” Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is a person who understands, who can be used and who is not, Her Royal Highness is clear in his heart, Master Wen's ambition is not old, but it is a pity that he has more than enough heart and not enough strength" "You" Wen Chenghuan was so angry with this guy that he almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of old blood.
Qiqi heard that Hu Xiaotian bumped into Wen Chenghuan's heart, and a pair of beautiful eyes were scorching, this guy was really a lotus flower, she said softly: "Wen Taishi Zhongjun loves the country and the palace naturally knows, but Hu Xiaotian was ordered to be in danger, and it was indeed a big risk to dare to enter Xichuan under that situation at that time, some things are not unrecoverable by manpower, Xichuan's affairs are complicated, and all the blame cannot be attributed to him."
Qiqi's words are equivalent to setting the tone, and Hu Xiaotian does not have to bear the responsibility for Xichuan's affairs.
Hong Beimo sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that this Nizi really has no feelings for Hu Xiaotian, and she protects him everywhere.
Qiqi's eyes turned to Hu Xiaotian and said, "I'm afraid that you are only here this time to explain the matter of Xichuan."
Hu Xiaotian said respectfully: "Your Highness is wise, the person who knows me best in this world is really Your Highness" This sentence is tantamount to openly teasing Qiqi.
Several old courtiers turned a deaf ear and consciously filtered out this sentence.
Qiqi said: "I don't dare to say that I understand the two words of this palace, it is difficult to draw the skin and bones of the tiger, I don't know the face of the person but not the heart, what you think in your heart, how can I know" Hu Xiaotian got up and gave Qiqi a deep bow and said, "Weichen only has His Royal Highness in his heart at this time."
Qiqi listened to this guy's straightforward confession, and his pretty face couldn't help but be hot.
Hong Beimo and the three of them couldn't listen to it anymore, can this Hu Xiaotian ask for Bilian, are there still people around, you actually say this kind of thing to deceive a little girl who is just starting to fall in love, or is it not a person, you only have Qiqi in your heart, why did you marry Long Xiyue, you only have Qiqi in your heart, and why did you cancel the marriage contract with her in the first place, it is really easy to deceive a woman Wen Chenghuan lost no time in saying: "King Zhenhai came to Beijing this time, did the princess come with him" He was reminding Hu Xiaotian, you have been married, don't deceive ignorant girls here.
Hu Xiaotian didn't care about this old guy at all, Wen Chenghuan's hatred for him was quite deep, and he had already counted the account of Wen Boyuan's death on his head, he hated to tear himself up, but he didn't find a suitable opportunity.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "The minister is just confessing his loyalty to His Highness, you adults don't have to make other interpretations."
Qiqi said: "Loyalty is not up to you, and this palace is not so easy to be deceived, Hu Xiaotian, you don't have to talk about it so much, the purpose of your coming here is clear." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is strategizing, and Wei Chen's thoughts naturally can't be hidden from you, but the minister still has something to say to Her Royal Highness the princess alone." ” Qiqi said deliberately: "There is no secret between this palace and you, if you have anything to say, you just have to say it." ” Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "If it is said on official business, it will be said, but what the minister wants to say is a private matter, if Her Royal Highness the princess finds it convenient to say it, then it doesn't matter if the minister says."
"This guy looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
The three of Hong Beimo all secretly scolded this guy for being shameless, and wanted to break them away, so why bother talking about private matters.
Zhou Ruiyuan took the lead in getting up and saying goodbye: "Since this is the case, Weichen will retire first."
Hong Beimo then got up, although Wen Chenghuan couldn't look at Hu Xiaotian, but he also understood people, and he had long seen that Princess Yongyang had no affection for Hu Xiaotian, and there should be no possibility to use Xichuan's matter to bring down Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr.
Hong stays" Hong Beimo was slightly stunned, he didn't know what Hu Xiaotian was doing when he stopped him, turned around and looked at Hu Xiaotian with a smile and said, "What advice does the prince have?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Is Mr.
Hong free tonight, if he is free, I want to go to Mr.
Hong's house to ask for some things." ” Hong Beimo said with a smile: "The prince came from afar, since Hong took the wind and washed the dust for the prince, then I will go back first, prepare the wine and food, and wait for the prince's arrival."
