The expression on Tang Jiuzheng's face was extremely complicated. Hu Xiaotian forced himself to use condensation energy as an arrow, but his unique trick of pressing the bottom of the box still failed to kill him. The purpose of Hu Xiaotian's rash move was to tell him a fact, even if he tried his best
, Hu Xiaotian can still escape from his hands.
Tang Jiuzheng did not continue to take action. Hu Xiaotian slowly returned the sword to its sheath and said calmly: "Senior's martial arts have opened my eyes. No one wants to have an enemy like you." His words were very tactful, although he took the initiative.
Good, but neither humble nor arrogant. If there hadn't been the competition just now, his words would have been considered by Tang Jiuzheng to show weakness. But now that Tang Jiuzheng has fully realized his strength, he no longer thinks so. Once he regards the other party as his opponent,
Then you won't despise the other person's respect for you.
Tang Jiuzheng whispered: "Whoever has an enemy like you must have a huge headache."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It is better to have one more friend than one more enemy in this world."
Tang Jiuzheng said: "I'll treat you to a drink!" The invitation was very sudden. Even after Tang Jiuzheng became the master of Luoying Palace, he rarely received such an invitation, especially to a junior.
Hu Xiaotian did not hesitate at all, nodded and said: "Okay!"
Walking into this dilapidated tavern, Hu Xiaotian realized that Tang Jiuzheng had already made preparations. The dishes had been served and the wine had been warmed. They were the only two customers in the tavern. The hunched-over owner wisely left the room to play with the birds outside.
Already.
Hu Xiaotian took the initiative to pick up the wine pot and filled the wine glass in front of Tang Jiuzheng.
Tang Jiucheng said: "I only have one condition."
Hu Xiaotian picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him.
Tang Jiuzheng was not in a hurry to finish the glass of wine: "Let Zou Yong go."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The road Mr. Ling wants to take is not Yangguan Avenue."
Tang Jiuzheng drank the glass of wine in front of him: "Everyone has their own choice. I can't control the child when he gets older."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Even if you want to take care of it, you can't take care of it for the rest of your life."
Tang Jiuzheng sighed and watched Hu Xiaotian fill the wine glass in front of him: "He admires you very much and says you are a wise and brave person."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "He's not bad either. He's just a bit off the mark on some things. I talked to him just now. I hope he and I won't become enemies even if we can't be friends."
Tang Jiuzheng's eyes looked a little confused: "I'm not interested in politics."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Senior, if he had too many distracting thoughts, he would not have achieved today's martial arts achievements."
A bitter smile appeared on Tang Jiuzheng's lips: "I didn't believe it in the past, but now I believe it after seeing you. Talent is indeed very important." In his opinion, Hu Xiaotian is undoubtedly a person who has achieved extraordinary achievements in both politics and martial arts.
What Hu Xiaotian has in front of him is exactly what his son has always wanted to work hard for.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Senior doesn't know how much bitterness and bitterness I have tasted behind my back."
Tang Jiucheng said: "I can't persuade him to change his mind, I can only support him."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "I have a suggestion for my senior. Although Mr. Ling is temporarily prosperous, there are endless hidden dangers under the superficial glory. It is always not practical to build your destiny and ambition on the shoulders of others."
Tang Jiuzheng's eyes lit up.
"Although Dayong's national power is very strong, there is no peace within the court. Xue Daohong's actions in Bohai this time have offended King Yan and the eldest princess. It is hard to say who will win in the future."
Tang Jiucheng said: "You should really tell him these words."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Even if I am willing to say it, he may not be able to listen."
This was the first time Xue Daohong came to Ci'en Garden since he came to the throne. Empress Dowager Jiang summoned him. After careful consideration, he decided to come in person. Only when he arrived at Ci'en Garden did he realize that Empress Dowager Jiang not only called him, but also called Yan Wang Xue Shengjing.
.
Xue Daohong had already guessed the purpose of the Empress Dowager Jiang's request to come, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known the purpose of the Empress Dowager asking him to come, he would never have come. Could it be that the incident in Bohai Country had already reached her ears?
.Xue Shengjing was forced to persuade the Empress Dowager Jiang under pressure and wanted her to mediate?
Although Xue Shengjing was Xue Daohong's uncle, there was a difference in dignity after all. He said respectfully: "Your Majesty is here!"
Xue Daohong hummed and said reluctantly: "Uncle Huang is here too!" Then he asked Empress Dowager Jiang: "How is grandma's health?"
Empress Dowager Jiang smiled and said: "Okay, very good. There is nothing special to do today. I just missed you, so I invited you over. But I didn't expect you to come over. After all, your status is different now."
.The king of a country has too many official affairs to deal with, so how can he take care of me, an old woman."
Xue Daohong heard her displeasure and smiled: "Grandma, please don't say that. No matter how important things are, they are not as important as you. Am I not here?"
Xue Shengjing complimented: "Your Majesty has been very filial since childhood. Mother, you can't let everyone be like your son, doing nothing and doing nothing."
Empress Dowager Jiang laughed: "You are disrespectful to me. I am embarrassed to scold you in front of Daohong Ai's family. Look at yourself. How can you act like an uncle? Daohong has been busy with political affairs all day long. Since he ascended the throne,
, he has lost a lot of weight, and instead of helping him, you are even more idle than before. Why don't you let Ai Jia say what you are good at!"
Xue Shengjing took the opportunity to say: "I'm ashamed of myself. It's just that I don't like political affairs by nature. In the past, when my brother-in-law was still alive, he said that I was not diligent and ambitious, and that I was really a useless person."
Empress Dowager Jiang said: "Yes, you are just a loser!"
Xue Daohong listened to their mother and son singing harmony, but he was unmoved in his heart. Xue Shengjing must have been panicked because of what happened in the Bohai Kingdom. This time he took the initiative to ask the Empress Dowager Jiang to go out. It seemed that he was already scared. Xue Daohong said: "Grandma,
In fact, the emperor's uncle is not as useless as you said. The emperor's uncle just has a useless mind. In fact, the emperor's mind is even worse than mine."
Xue Shengjing cursed in his heart, brat, you have only been on the throne for a few days? If it weren't for my full support, you might not have been able to ascend the throne smoothly. I didn't expect that you would turn against me just after you secured the throne, and you would fall out faster than your father.
Too much.
Empress Dowager Jiang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what you said is not wrong. Shengjing's mind is quite smart, but it's a pity that it is not used in the right place. There are so many princes and grandsons in Dayong. Who doesn't want Jiangshan Sheji in their hearts? You are the only one who spends the whole day
You only know how to collect rare treasures. If they know who you are and know that you just like these things to accumulate wealth for our Dayong, if those people who don’t understand you, wouldn’t they think that you are taking the opportunity to make money and line your own pockets?”
Xue Shengjing pretended to be frightened and said: "Mother, please don't say that. My child has never been so greedy."
Empress Dowager Jiang said: "What kind of person are you, the Ai family still doesn't know? When your imperial brother was alive, didn't you say that all your wealth belongs to Dayong? When will your imperial brother want to use it?"
You can get it anytime."
Xue Shengjing said: "My child thinks the same way now. I never dare to forget my original intention!" As he spoke, he looked at Xue Daohong quietly.
Xue Daohong seemed not to hear anything and looked away, as if what happened in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Empress Dowager Jiang said: "The Ai family has another purpose in calling you here today. Recently, the Ai family has heard a lot of rumors. Shengjing, although our own family knows who you are, outsiders don't. Many people don't.
It is said that you use public tools for personal use, harming the public and enriching your private life. Over the years, you have collected countless rare treasures and become rich enough to rival the country."
Xue Shengjing smiled bitterly and said: "Mother, I have never thought of taking the child as my own."
"In this case, please hand over all the properties in your name to the emperor."
Xue Shengjing was startled in his heart. His mother did not say anything in advance when she called him over. In fact, the situation in Bohai Country has begun to reverse, and everything is developing in his own favor. He now has the capital to challenge Xue Daohong.
The Queen Mother actually asked her to hand over her famous property at this time. What kind of medicine was she selling in her gourd? Is she on her side or on Xue Daohong's side? She actually openly sided with her. At this point, if she doesn't hand over
, doesn’t it mean that he is disloyal and that he has ulterior motives? However, Xue Daohong may not be able to let go of the idea of dealing with him after paying him.
Empress Dowager Jiang said with a straight face: "What? You don't want to?"
Xue Shengjing hurriedly said: "Mother, if you and I are willing, I will go back and ask someone to check the warehouse and hand over all the properties and wealth to the emperor for control."
Empress Dowager Jiang smiled and said: "You have a general understanding!"
Xue Daohong said: "No need. Putting those things with the emperor's uncle is not the same as putting them here with me. As long as the emperor's uncle can treat me like his father, I am absolutely at ease with the emperor's uncle."
Xue Shengjing said respectfully: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty..."
Empress Dowager Jiang said: "In the opinion of the Ai family, it is better to follow the wishes of the scenic spot. You will lose your mind by playing with things. If you had not been addicted to those jewelry and antiques all day long, you would not be like this. Your Majesty, just obey him once."
Xue Shengjing cursed in his heart, are you my mother? Are you helping me? You are clearly trying to trick me!
Xue Daohong nodded slowly and said, "Well, since the emperor wants to prove his innocence, I have no choice but to agree."
Xue Shengjing wished he could knock off Xue Daohong's front teeth with one punch. Your uncle, you are trying to cheat me! He was in a bad mood. At this time, he heard the Empress Dowager Jiang say: "Shengjing, you have nothing to do here for the time being."
, you should go back and deal with this matter as soon as possible."
After Xue Shengjing left, Xue Daohong said: "Grandma, actually you don't need to do this, and I don't want to force others to do anything."
Empress Dowager Jiang sighed softly and said: "Dao Hong, although the Ai family is old, they are still not confused. There are some things that the Ai family can see clearly."
Xue Daohong said: "Grandma, you might as well tell me what's on your mind." (To be continued...)
