Wen Chenghuan hurriedly walked into the Yangxin Pavilion. Long Xuanen was lying on his side on the dragon bed, supporting his head with one hand and half-opening his eyes. Hearing Wen Chenghuan's kowtow, he sighed lazily.
He made a sound, then yawned and sat up straight: "Wen Qing's family, why do you have to rush to see me?"
Wen Chenghuan said: "Your Majesty, Princess Yongyang just went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to interrogate Yan Xuanming's case and said that it would be retried."
Long Xuanen laughed: "As expected, it must be Hu Xiaotian who asked her to come forward to intercede."
Wen Chenghuan nodded and said: "The true identity of Yan Xuanming is the biological son of Yan Tianlu, the bandit leader of Mangjiao Island. This shows that Hu Xiaotian and the pirates of Mangjiao Island have long been in collusion."
Long Xuan'en said: "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have been kept in the dark until now."
Wen Chenghuan said: "There is no airtight wall in the world. Hu Xiaotian is very ambitious. Since he took control of Dongliang County, his ambition has been growing day by day. Everyone in the world can see it clearly."
Long Xuanen snorted coldly and said, "I asked him to escort grain to Beijing, but he excused himself because of illness and did this kind of thing with pirates behind his back."
Wen Chenghuan added in a low voice: "More than that, I also heard that Hu Xiaotian claimed to be ill and stayed at home, but in fact he quietly went to sea with the fleet to Mangjiao Island. His purpose was to cooperate with the bandit leader Yan Tianlu. According to
The secret information I got is that Yan Tianlu will cooperate with him in the future to block the sea route and rob the grain ships brought by Dayong to Dakang by sea, so that the food shortage in Dakang cannot be alleviated. Only in this way can he highlight his importance and take the opportunity to expand his own power.
Territory.”
Long Xuanen said angrily: "You bastard! This is really unreasonable!"
Wen Chenghuan hurriedly bowed down and waited until Long Xuanen's mood calmed down before saying again: "Your Majesty, please calm down."
Long Xuan'en said: "Hu Xiaotian is really a wolf-hearted person. His father betrayed me and took away fifty of Dakang's most sophisticated warships, and also took away ten thousand elite navy troops. Just for this matter alone, I can
Not only did I not confiscate the Hu family and exterminate them, but I also betrothed Princess Yongyang to him. He did not know how to repay his kindness and did not want to serve the country. He thought he was in northern Xinjiang. I was incompetent, arrogant and acted arbitrarily.
, do you really think that I can't cure him? It angered me, so I asked Su Yuchi to destroy him!"
Wen Chenghuan said: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. In fact, the reason why Hu Xiaotian has developed to where he is today is related to the support behind him."
The expression on Long Xuanen's face became more and more gloomy. He picked up the tea cup on the side and took a sip of tea, but poof! All the tea came out in one sip. He glared at the little eunuch Yin Zheng beside him and said: "You bastard, this tea
It’s so cold. How can I drink it?”
Yin Zheng turned pale with fright: "Your Majesty, I will brew it for you again right now!"
Long Xuanen threw the tea cup on the ground, and it broke into pieces. Then he yelled: "Get out! Get out of here!"
Yin Zheng and the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they cried out in fear. They fled out the door without even bothering to clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the floor.
When Wen Chenghuan saw Long Xuanen's sudden anger, he remained silent. He didn't dare to speak for a while. The old emperor was moody. If he talked about something he didn't like, he might take his anger out on himself. He should only stop in moderation. Even slander and instigation should be avoided.
Grasp the heat, otherwise too much is not enough.
After all the eunuchs and maids left, Long Xuanen's mood instantly returned to calm. He glanced at Wen Chenghuan's face with a deep gaze and said, "There are only two of us here. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly.
"
Wen Chenghuan breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully: "I dare to say a few words in the hope that Your Majesty will not punish me."
Long Xuanen nodded.
Wen Chenghuan said: "I think the reason why Hu Xiaotian is so arrogant, arrogant and dares to be disrespectful to His Majesty is related to Princess Yongyang's support for him."
Long Xuanen sighed and said: "I have also seen this matter. I am seventy-seven years old and have little experience in the world. I was bewitched by him, so I did some stupid things. I am also very troubled by this.
"
Wen Chenghuan said: "I'll be honest, if your Majesty thinks about flesh and blood and indulges in it blindly, I'm afraid it will become even more uncontrollable in the future. Ever since Hu Xiaotian went to Dongliang County to take office, he has despised the imperial court, despised the holy will, and risked the whole country."
Dakang was dragged into the danger of war and launched a war against Dongluocang. He did win a few battles, but in these victories, the only one who really benefited was himself. Has Your Majesty heard that Jiang Zhengyang's remnants
Most of them have been gathered by him. Not only that, he is recruiting a large number of troops and constantly expanding his troops. The euphemistic name is to strengthen the northern defense line of Dakang, but in fact it is to strengthen his own strength. Your Majesty! I know that you are thinking of Princess Yongyang.
Your Majesty has tolerated him blindly, but instead of restraining himself, this kid has become increasingly arrogant. Once he reaches full maturity, it will be too late for Your Majesty to control him."
Long Xuanen said: "What can you do?"
Wen Chenghuan said: "Hu Xiaotian is now on Mangjiao Island. The man from Dongliang County must be a puppet pretending to be him."
Long Xuanen's eyebrows twitched: "How could you be so sure?"
Wen Chenghuan said: "To be honest with your majesty, Hu Xiaotian led twenty warships to Mangjiao Island to discuss cooperation. Some of them reported it to me because they couldn't stand his actions. I can conclude that Hu Xiaotian has gone to Mangjiao Island. This
Princess Ci Yongyang took the initiative to intervene in Yan Xuanming's case, clearly under his entrustment. Very few people knew about the relationship between Yan Xuanming and Yan Tianlu. The princess and Yan Tianlu had never had any intersection. If it weren't for Hu Xiaotian, how could she
Come forward for Yan Xuanming?"
Long Xuanen nodded slowly.
Wen Chenghuan added: "Taking this opportunity, Your Majesty can just cut off his power."
Long Xuan'en said: "It's easy to say, but how to cut it off?"
Wen Chenghuan said: "Yan Tianlu will do anything to save Yan Xuanming, his biological son."
Long Xuanen immediately understood what he meant and whispered: "But how can I let him do things for us?"
Wen Chenghuan said: "Just give the news to Yan Tianlu and ask him to exchange Hu Xiaotian's life for his son's life."
Long Xuan'en said: "Mangjiao Island is thousands of miles away. Even if I have this intention, how can I deliver the news to Yan Tianlu?"
Wen Chenghuan said: "I have a way. Your Majesty only needs to leave Yan Xuanming's affairs to the princess and turn a blind eye. Even if Hu Xiaotian dies, he will think that it was Princess Yongyang who did it. Absolutely
I can’t think of it happening to His Majesty.”
Long Xuanen looked at Wen Chenghuan, and after a while he laughed: "What next?"
Wen Chenghuan said: "Then send people to Dongliang County to expose the true face of the puppet, seek justice for Mr. Hu Xiaotian, and eradicate all the rebels who killed Mr. Hu and used the puppet to deceive the court!"
The ships sent by Mangjiao Island to deliver supplies came back one after another. They brought 500 soldiers with them. The remaining 6,000 navy soldiers, led by Chang Fanqi, stayed behind in the lagoon, waiting for the water level to rise so that they could be rescued. Fourteen warships sailed out of the lagoon.
According to Yan Tianlu, the weather conditions have been unstable recently. It may be necessary to wait until the 15th day of the month for the sea water to rise and Hu Xiaotian's warships have a chance to leave the lagoon. However, it will only be seven days later. On the 10th day of the month, Five years ago, Dakang's naval officers had to wait in the lagoon.
Yang Yuanqing brought 500 people to the island. He came this time to make sure that Hu Xiaotian was safe. Although Yan Tianlu and Hu Xiaotian had cooperated, it was impossible for Yan Tianlu to allow more people to land on the island due to Yan Tianlu's suspicious temperament.
Since Xia Changming left, Hu Xiaotian has also been anxiously waiting for news about him. Under the current situation, only by saving Yan Xuanming's life can Yan Tianlu be willing to fully assist his fleet.
When Yang Yuanqing and others arrived, Hu Xiaotian was extricating Yan Nujiao. Yan Nujiao was very worried about her brother being kidnapped. She wanted to save people, but unfortunately she had no clue.
Hearing that the supply ship had returned, Hu Xiaotian said to Yan Nujiao: "Nujiao, why don't we go to the dock for a walk? The sun is very sunny today. I will accompany you to relax."
Yan Nujiao shook her head and said, "You can go alone, I'll stay and have a rest."
Hu Xiaotian smiled, patted her shoulder, and walked out. He met Hu Zhongyang outside the door. Hu Zhongyang smiled and said: "Sir Hu, the supply ship is back. I heard that our fleet did not suffer too much loss."
Hu Xiaotian said: "As long as the soldiers are safe and sound, it will be fine."
Hu Zhongyang has not been embarrassed to come to explain to Hu Xiaotian in the past two days, and said apologetically: "Master Hu, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, I wouldn't have caused you to travel and travel to this Python Island."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Why do one family speak the same language?" As he spoke, he had already arrived at the dock. Yang Yuanqing led a group of soldiers to walk towards Hu Xiaotian from a distance. When he came closer, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "General Yang Yuanqing comes to see my lord. I am unable to perform the courtesy while wearing armor, I hope your lord will forgive me."
Hu Xiaotian laughed loudly and said: "I feel relieved to see that you are safe and sound. What? There are so many people here! General Chang didn't come with you?"
Yang Yuanqing quietly pulled Hu Xiaotian aside and whispered: "Lord, we wanted to bring more people over, but unfortunately they didn't agree. General Chang asked to stay in the lagoon and asked me to come and report the situation to the lord in person."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "This is their territory after all, and we must be on guard against others. If too many people come over from us, Yan Tianlu will suspect us of ulterior motives."
Yang Yuanqing nodded repeatedly, and said with a look of shame on his face: "My lord, due to a sudden storm, we had to throw away the heavy objects in the cabin in order to enter the lagoon. We threw all the fifty thunders into the sea."
Hu Xiaotian said: "You can start working again if you run out of things. People cannot be resurrected after death, so go and have a rest! When the sea water rises, we will leave Mangjiao Island and return to Dongliang County."
"yes!"
