"Prime Minister, there is another memorial here." Yang Qi, the chief eunuch, saw that he was so angry. After looking at Emperor Xingyuan and obtaining his consent, he handed another memorial to Hu Liwei.
Hu Liwei was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Emperor Xingyuan with confusion. However, the latter did not explain, so he had to accept the memorial handed to him by Yang Qi.
"What?" The words in the memorial shocked him again, and his tone became much higher.
"I knew he was a treacherous villain who went back on his word and was not worthy of trust..." Hu Liwei cursed loudly for a long time, until he was tired and had to stop.
Hu Liwei stopped, Emperor Xingyuan did not speak, and the palace suddenly became quiet.
After a while, Emperor Xingyuan finally raised his head and looked at Hu Liwei, "What do you think about this?"
Emperor Xingyuan's voice was low and without any emotion, making it impossible for Hu Liwei to figure out what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, I am humble and helpless when I go to Daqian to pledge my vassalship. If I let the prince go to Daqian as a hostage now, how can I lose my face in Xixia?"
"Besides, the eldest prince is the eldest son of the emperor. I, the first prince of Xixia, cannot let the eldest prince go to work as a hostage for the emperor or the country..." Hu Liwei was indignant and spoke in a very loud voice, as if he was in a state of madness. The beast was roaring, and it was not difficult to tell from his tone that he did not agree with the prince going to Daqian as a pledge, or he did not agree with the terms of the eldest prince going to Dagan as a pledge.
Seeing how angry he was, Emperor Xingyuan glanced at him meaningfully, and then calmly withdrew his gaze.
"Come here, serve tea to the Prime Minister!" Emperor Xingyuan took a sip of tea. After calming down, he asked someone to pass tea to Hu Liwei.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hu Liwei thanked Emperor Xingyuan before taking the tea.
Then he looked at the stool on the left, walked over and sat down.
Perhaps because he was thirsty or angry, Hu Liwei took one sip and refilled three glasses in total before stopping.
After drinking tea, my mood calmed down a lot, but I still didn't let go.
Obviously, the relationship between the eldest prince and him is extraordinary. For his benefit, it is absolutely impossible to agree to the condition that the eldest prince go to Daqian as a pledge.
"Whether he is the prince or the soldiers at the border, they are all my sons." Emperor Xingyuan suddenly said.
"I don't want the prince to go to Daqian and suffer, and I don't want to see the sons of Xixia die in vain."
"Does Prime Minister know my mood?" Emperor Xingyuan looked at him thoughtfully and asked.
Hearing the implication, Hu Liwei frowned tightly...
"Not good!" Realizing something, Hu Liwei secretly yelled "not good".
He quickly said, "Your Majesty, maybe you can think of a compromise."
"Is there any way that I can tell you?" Emperor Xingyuan's eyes flashed and he stared at him.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is my first prince in Xixia and cannot leave Xixia."
"Why not ask Da Qian for instructions and ask him to replace him with someone else?"
"Or wouldn't it be nice to find someone among the people to replace him?" Hu Liwei said with twinkling eyes.
It has to be said that Hu Liwei is really resourceful. In just a short time, he came up with several countermeasures.
"Hey!" After hearing this, Emperor Xingyuan's face did not relax at all, but became even more depressed.
"Prime Minister, let's take a look at the portrait sent by Da Qian first!" Emperor Xingyuan took out a rolled-up portrait and said in a low mood.
Yang Qi picked up the portrait, walked to Hu Liwei, and called two young eunuchs to unfold the portrait.
After Hu Liwei saw it, he was confused for a moment. He frowned and looked at Emperor Xingyuan in confusion, "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
"What do you mean? Ha...I'm not afraid to tell you, this is a portrait sent by Da Qian."
"And Ling Yun said that Da Gan doesn't want anyone except the person in the portrait."
"Do you think we have room to operate?" Emperor Xingyuan asked suppressing his anger.
"Then..." Hu Liwei's body trembled, and he didn't know what to say while looking at the portrait.
He never expected that Da Gan would have a portrait of the eldest prince of Xixia in his hands.
In this way, Da Qian had long had the idea of taking the Xixia prince as a hostage.
The intention is sinister, indeed the intention is sinister.
What Da Qian did was so abominable.
"What does the emperor mean by agreeing to Da Qian's request?" Hu Liwei calmed down his emotions and looked at Emperor Xingyuan and asked calmly.
"I do mean this." Emperor Xingyuan did not refute, or was vague, but nodded and admitted.
"Your Majesty..." Upon hearing this, Hu Liwei thought, is this even a big deal?
But just as he was about to open his mouth to stop him, Emperor Xingyuan raised his hand to stop him.
"Don't be anxious, Prime Minister." Emperor Xingyuan's eyes darkened a bit, and the sneer raised at the corner of his mouth indicated the other party's premeditated plan.
Not urgent?
You are not in a hurry. You can even sacrifice your own son, so why should you be anxious?
Hu Liwei cursed in his heart.
"As far as I know, although Ling Yun has great military exploits, his relationship with the officials and officials is average, and there are even irreconcilable conflicts."
"And the weapons Ling Yun used this time are not available to other generals in Da Gan."
"My original intention is to send a trustworthy person to Dagan. This will not only instigate the relationship between Ling Yun and the ministers of Dagan, so that they will be at odds with each other, but also can even use the hands of ministers to get rid of Ling Yun."
"If Ling Yun is gone from Da Gan, do we still need to be afraid of Da Gan?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Liwei nodded with some approval.
Emperor Xingyuan's idea is indeed feasible.
They were not afraid of Da Gan, they were just afraid of Ling Yun, or Ling Yun's weapons.
Although Hu Liwei thought this method was good, when he thought of letting the eldest prince go, his mood instantly dropped.
Obviously, in his opinion, anyone can be sent, but the eldest prince cannot be sent.
Otherwise, once the eldest prince leaves Xixia, their efforts over the years will be in vain.
"Your Majesty, although Ling Yun has a bad relationship with Da Qian and his ministers, as far as I know, Emperor Da Qian treats him very much. I heard that Emperor Da Qian wanted to recruit him as his consort more than once..." Emperor Xingyuan had already He sent people to know the details of Ling Yun and could tell the news that Ling Yun was at odds with the ministers in Da Qian. However, this could not convince Hu Liwei because Hu Liwei had already understood it clearly and knew how much Ling Yun was valued by Emperor Qian Xi in Da Qian. , Emperor Qianxi would never allow the kind of thing that Emperor Xiang Xingyuan said to happen.
"That's true!" Emperor Xingyuan was not embarrassed when he heard this, and just nodded in acquiescence.
Even if Ling Yun was ostracized by the officials or framed, as long as he was not a foolish king, Emperor Qianxi would not kill Ling Yun. It was absolutely impossible.
"This is just my first step." Emperor Xingyuan continued.
"Sending the eldest prince over to sow discord between Ling Yun and the ministers is just one of them."
"The second is to obtain the weapons used by Lingyun's army. If we can produce the weapons used by Lingyun's army, why should our army be afraid of Lingyun?"
"I'm not worried about sending someone else."
"If the eldest prince can go, the situation will be different." Emperor Xingyuan muttered, he only trusted his own son.
It turns out that Emperor Xingyuan's main purpose was to obtain the manufacturing method of Lingyun's weapon. It's no wonder Emperor Xingyuan was willing to let his son be used as a hostage, with sinister intentions!
