Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't know exactly what she thinks. As for whether she wanted to kill Li Chenzhou at the dinner, I have never discussed it with me before. I thought she wanted to kill me with the help of others."
Get rid of it." What Hu Xiaotian said was all the truth. No matter who he or Li Chenzhou was injured or killed, there was no loss to Xue Lingjun.
Yan Dongsheng sighed and said, "I finally understand now that I was wrong about what happened this time."
Hu Xiaotian said: "A friend of the common people asked me to send a letter to the king." He handed the letter that Yan Tianlu asked him to forward to Yan Dongsheng.
Yan Dongsheng opened the letter and read it under the lamp. After reading it, he couldn't help but sigh. Over the years, he has always regarded Yan Tianlu as a maggot in the tarsal bones and a thorn in the bone. He wanted to get rid of him quickly, even at the expense of his own interests and asking for help.
Yong, but this time he almost led a wolf into the house and made a big mistake.
Although Yan Dongsheng is not a capable monarch, he is not confused. As the king of a small country, he first considers the issue of survival before he can consider other things. What he has always been most worried about is Yan Tianlu subverting his royal power.
, but now he understands that the real dangerous enemy is Dayong.
Yan Dongsheng said: "Please help me reply to him. I have agreed to his request."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Your Majesty is truly a wise king."
Yan Dongsheng shook his head and said: "Although I am not a sage monarch, I also know that it is not easy for Bohai to be passed down to this day. This incident has made me understand a truth. The survival and prosperity of a country must not rely on external forces. The most greedy people in the world
It’s the human heart, if you don’t have a purpose, how can others be willing to help you?”
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It would be best for your Majesty to think this way."
Yan Dongsheng said: "Why did you intervene in this matter?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Does the king want to see a Dayong with civil strife or a stable Dayong?"
Yan Dongsheng smiled. He did not answer Hu Xiaotian's question, but he immediately had the answer in his mind. Of course he hoped that Dayong would be more chaotic, the better. Only a civil strife in Dayong would pose no threat to Bohai. He remembered that Bohai once asked Dakang
Since the decline of Dakang, the Bohai Kingdom has completely gotten rid of Dakang's control.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The Central Plains are not far away from the day of great chaos!"
Yan Dongsheng's eyes lit up, this was good news for him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The Bohai Sea is far away from the Central Plains. Although the land is limited and the people are not many, it has stood in the East China Sea for hundreds of years. This is due to the fact that the Central Plains will fall into war every few years, while the Bohai Sea country is far away from the mainland and is rarely affected by war.
If the situation spreads, if your Majesty is willing to compete for hegemony, there will be an excellent opportunity in front of you."
Yan Dongsheng smiled bitterly and said: "I have never thought about competing for world hegemony, let alone competing in the Central Plains. As long as I can keep my people living and working in peace and contentment, I will be satisfied in my heart."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty should know the truth that a single tree cannot support itself."
Yan Dongsheng said: "If you ask others for help, I'm afraid that you will be framed by others in the end."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "A disparity in strength can only make you a vassal of others, but if we are similar in strength, we can join hands to fight against the great powers. We do not seek to dominate the world, but only seek to survive in troubled times."
Yan Dongsheng said: "What do you mean!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Has your Majesty ever considered forming an alliance with Dongliang County? Are we mutual friends?"
Of course Yan Dongsheng knew that the person in front of him was Hu Xiaotian, and Hu Xiaotian had already extended an olive branch to him. He pondered as follows and raised a realistic and mediocre question: "What good can I do?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "In exchange for peace in the sea area, you and Mangjiao Island also need someone to coordinate. For now, only Dongliang County can maintain the balance between you. For Bohai Country and Mangjiao Island,
The island is not a bad thing."
Yan Dongsheng said: "How did I know that you wouldn't join forces to deal with me in the future?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Who will know what will happen in the future? Before I came here, I never thought that you and I would talk in this way. Only cooperation based on similar strengths and complementarity can last long.
, Your Majesty, you may wish to think carefully, if you still want to rely on Zhongyong's protection of the Bohai Sea, just pretend that I have never said these words."
Yan Dongsheng didn't wait for Hu Xiaotian to finish speaking, and already stretched out his hand to him.
Hu Xiaotian was slightly startled. Unexpectedly, he reacted so quickly. He smiled and held Yan Dongsheng's right hand.
Yan Dongsheng asked: "Are you Hu Xiaotian?"
Hu Xiaotian slowly took off the mask on his face.
When Yan Dongsheng saw his true appearance, a smile appeared on his face: "I have been famous for you for a long time, and I admire your courage endlessly."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The king has given you a reward!"
Yan Dongsheng said: "I hope Mr. Hu can remember the agreement you and I made today. If you keep your promise, I will never break it."
Li Chenzhou had already left Bohai Country that night. Hu Xiaotian was not surprised when he heard the news. For a smart person like Li Chenzhou, he would immediately retreat once he found that the momentum was not right.
Hu Xiaotian did not suffer any losses, the same was true for Mangjiao Island, and even Bohai Country suffered no losses.
The case of Yuan Tianzhao, which originally shocked the whole country, ended with Yuan Tianzhao being exempted from being a commoner. Even Yuan Tianzhao was given a lighter sentence. Naturally, others would not be affected too much. Ling Sanniang also walked out of the prison intact.
She was picked up as soon as she left, but from now on she could no longer lurk in Bohai Country to spy on intelligence.
When Xue Lingjun learned that Li Chenzhou had evacuated overnight, she was still a little regretful. She thought that Hu Xiaotian should have used his plan to kill Li Chenzhou. However, when Xue Lingjun returned to Zhichun Garden the next day and wanted to complain about Hu Xiaotian, she found that this guy had already
The building was empty. Not only was Hu Xiaotian gone, not even a single person was left in Nuo Da’s Zhichun Garden. Looking at the empty Zhichun Garden, Xue Lingjun felt that something was suddenly missing in her heart. With her mind, she certainly understood that Hu Xiaotian
She was expressing her dissatisfaction and protest against her in such a silent way, which some men cannot take advantage of. Xue Lingjun even began to suspect that he had done something stupid.
When Xue Lingjun was standing in Zhichun Garden, feeling lost, Hu Xiaotian was drinking at Cyclamen, and the host was Li Mingju.
"Brother Hu, are you leaving today?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded.
Li Mingju still hasn't been able to get over the shadow of his father's death. If it weren't for seeing Hu Xiaotian off, he would still be keeping vigil at his father's grave. Li Mingju said: "I didn't expect that time passed so quickly, and I didn't even have time to have a good chat with Brother Hu.
It’s time to part ways.”
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Brother Mingju and I hit it off right away. The people here in the Bohai Sea are simple and the scenery is pleasant. I also want to stay here for a few more days. Unfortunately, my family has complicated affairs. I have been away from home for too long and I have to go back for a visit.
"
Li Mingju nodded and said: "We will see you again after thousands of miles. Ming Zhongzhong cannot send you far away because of his filial piety, so I will take this glass of wine as a farewell farewell to Brother Hu."
After thanking him, Hu Xiaotian drank the glass of wine and said softly: "Brother Mingju, what are your plans for the future?"
Li Mingju sighed and said, "I don't have any plans. Let's take it one step at a time." At the moment, he just wanted to complete the period of filial piety. He had not had time to consider other things. After Hu Xiaotian asked, he started to think about it. Maybe the next step should be to avenge his father.
Well, but what could he, a weak scholar, use to take revenge?
Hu Xiaotian said: "With Brother Mingju's talent, it is not difficult to find an official position in the court, and his future achievements will surely be limitless."
Li Mingju shook his head and said: "Although my father did not die directly at the hands of the imperial court, if it were not for the king, my father would not..." He couldn't help but choke up when he said this.
Hu Xiaotian comforted him and said: "Master Li has passed away. If he knew it, he wouldn't want you to be too sad. I believe Master Li would like to see you able to fulfill your ambitions and honor your ancestors."
Li Mingju said: "Let it go!"
When Hu Xiaotian saw him so depressed, his heart suddenly moved and he whispered: "If Brother Mingju doesn't dislike it, are you willing to come to the Central Plains and start over?"
Li Mingju's eyes lit up. The Central Plains was a place he had wanted to go for a long time. If it weren't for the worry that his father would be alone, he would have already set foot on the land of the Central Plains. The Bohai Sea was too small to display his ambitions.
Hu Xiaotian said: "If brother Mingju comes to the Central Plains, you can go to Dongliang County to find me!"
Li Mingju said: "When my period of mourning is over..."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Actually, some things don't have to be just a formality. The most important thing is to keep them in your heart."
The largest Jubaozhai in Yongdu has also begun to take inventory. King Yan Xue Shengjing stood outside the gate, looking at the plaque of Jubaozhai, with a touch of sadness in his small eyes. Seeing that his many years of hard work suddenly changed hands, he felt a sense of sadness in his body.
It's obviously a lie to say that I don't lose the feeling of my blood being drained out at all.
Although Xue Shengjing successfully survived the crisis this time, he was eventually tricked by the Empress Dowager Jiang. She was his own mother. Every time he thought of this, Xue Shengjing felt as if he had been whipped by someone. It hurt so much that it penetrated his bones.
That kind of pain!
Eunuch Dong appeared outside the door of Jubaozhai. It was the Empress Dowager Chiang's idea to take over Jubaozhai, so he was specially assigned to supervise it. After Eunuch Dong saw Xue Shengjing, he walked over with three steps.
Xue Shengjing's little eyes immediately narrowed, and he said with a smile on his face: "Eunuch Dong!"
Eunuch Dong chuckled and said, "Prince Yan!"
The two stood together, looking at the signboard of Jubaozhai at the same time. Eunuch Dong glanced at Xue Shengjing meaningfully and said, "Your Majesty, are you a little reluctant to part with it?"
Xue Shengjing said: "Money is something external to me, why would I be reluctant to part with it!" Although he was trying to be brave, his face was clearly in pain.
Eunuch Dong smiled and said, "That's right. If you don't take this gold, silver and jewels with you until you die, they are not as real as steamed buns."
Xue Shengjing secretly scolded this guy for standing and talking without hurting his back, and whispered: "What did the Queen Mother say?"
Dong Gonggong said: "I praise you for your understanding of the overall situation and taking into account the overall situation."
Xue Shengjing said oh. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
