Zhou Ruiyuan is good at observing words and expressions. Seeing the change in the emperor's expression, he already knew that his words had probably hurt his inner skin. The reason why you are a loner is because you have reached a position above ten thousand people.
Looking down at the world, he began to gradually stop listening to other people's opinions. Although he was the crown prince and grand master, the words he said now could be said when Long Yelin was the crown prince. Now that he has ascended to the throne of God, would he feel that
Are you being disrespectful to him by being pampered?
Long Yelin finally controlled the anger in his heart, nodded slowly and said: "Zhou Aiqing, the reason why I am where I am today is because of you and Eunuch Quan. I know what I should do in the future."
Zhou Ruiyuan said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Long Yelin said: "From now on, my fortune will depend on people like you."
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "I will do my best and die!"
Hu Xiaotian had acquired Quan De'an's skills for ten years. Judging from the old eunuch's age, even if he practiced skills from his mother's womb, he should have nearly one-fifth of his skills. At the beginning, Hu Xiaotian was extremely worried, for fear of practicing
The younger brother became smaller and smaller as he practiced this eunuch's martial arts. In the end, he became a heavenly eunuch without having to cleanse himself. But after a few days without any abnormality, he gradually became relieved.
After Quan De'an entered the palace and met the emperor, he told Hu Xiaotian that his parents' lives should be saved, so he didn't need to worry. It would be best to focus all his attention on cultivation now.
With Quan De'an at the bottom of his ten-year skill list, Hu Xiaotian started practicing raising yin and shrinking yang directly after learning some basic breathing methods. To be honest, practicing this skill is still quite psychologically stressful. If you fail to practice it,
If you shrink in and never poke your head out, wouldn't the happiness of this life be completely over? Fortunately, such a tragic thing did not happen, because no matter how hard Hu Xiaotian practiced, he failed to take in his lifeblood. This guy couldn't help it.
I wonder if I was born too young and I'm afraid I won't be able to practice well in this life. Fortunately, Quan De'an is not impatient and doesn't rush him. Everything just goes as it comes.
Quan De'an didn't mention anything about what happened in the court, and he rarely went to the palace. Most of the time, he stayed in the palace, either teaching Hu Xiaotian martial arts, or talking about the rules in the palace. Although Hu Xiaotian found it boring, he also understood that Quan De'an
What De'an told him now was the foundation for him to stay in the palace and save his life in the future, so he did not dare to neglect it at all.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he first pardoned Hu Buwei and Shi Buchui, a group of criminals, showing his benevolence. On the day he ascended the throne, the new emperor Long Yelin announced to the world that he also did not forget to denounce Li Tianheng of Xichuan.
Even if it is limited to denunciation, everyone knows that the emperor who has just ascended the throne cannot choose to launch a war to regain Xichuan now, not to mention that Li Tianheng of Xichuan has previously formally concluded an alliance with the Sharjah Kingdom and betrothed one of his daughters, Li Mochou.
It was given to Hoge, the twelfth prince of the Sharjah Kingdom. Li Tianheng was sitting on the natural barrier of Xichuan and commanded an army of 100,000. Although Dakang claimed to have an army of 2 million, it had not fought any major battles in the past thirty years. Long Yelin, the new king
After taking the throne, the top priority was to stabilize the internal rule of Dakang, not to mention that in his north, Dayong was always eyeing the land of Dakang. If there was a war within Dakang, it would be difficult to guarantee that Dayong would not send his troops south.
To fight against foreign aggression, one must first settle the domestic affairs. The position of emperor is not easy to handle. Long Yelin faced various crises when he first came to the throne. Fortunately, he had Zhou Ruiyuan to assist him. The main political opinion proposed by Zhou Ruiyuan was to remain unchanged in response to all changes and to temporarily follow the
Try not to make any changes to all past policy policies. The same goes for the appointment of officials. It is precisely because of this premise that Hu Buwei, Shi Buchui and others saved their lives.
The first rain of autumn came suddenly, and Hu Xiaotian's Yin-raising and Yang-shrinking Kungfu still hadn't progressed. It was less than ten days before Quan De'an sent him to the palace. Hu Xiaotian himself was actually a little nervous. If he practiced the Kungfu,
No. If the truth is exposed, I'm afraid I'll die in an ugly way.
Quan De'an also noticed Hu Xiaotian's uneasiness. He sat under the corridor, looking at the rainwater dripping from the eaves like broken beads, and whispered: "Are you afraid?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Am I afraid? I'm not afraid of death!"
Quan De'an laughed, picked up the teapot, took a leisurely sip, and then complained: "Damn weather, my broken leg starts to hurt when it gets like this." When he said this, he looked at his eyes.
Just then he turned to Hu Xiaotian.
To Hu Xiaotian, this sentence sounded full of blame. He coughed and said, "That leg of yours couldn't be held back at that time."
Quan De'an said: "I don't blame you!" He put the teapot aside and slowly stood up: "In a few days, I will send you to the palace."
Hu Xiaotian said: "But I haven't mastered it yet."
"It doesn't matter. Practice slowly. If I send you to the palace, others will still believe you."
Hu Xiaotian said: "But what if someone doesn't believe me and insists on proving his identity to me?"
Quan De'an said meaningfully: "The only way to keep the secret is...hehe, you must know."
Of course Hu Xiaotian knew that what he was referring to was murder and silence. If that happens, he would definitely keep this secret at all costs. Hu Xiaotian said: "Eunuch Quan, are my parents really okay?"
Quan De'an nodded and said, "The Za family thought that Your Majesty would not spare them easily. Even if they were spared the death penalty, they would still be exiled to the frontier. However, they did not expect that Prime Minister Zhou would intercede for them."
Hu Xiaotian said: "No, my father and he have had a feud for a long time. He would not stand up for my father." When the new king came to power, the fate of all parties was very different. Zhou Ruiyuan, who was once demoted to the people, has now become the prime minister of Dakang.
He was the commander of Zhongshu Province, but his father was struggling to hold on to his life.
Quan De'an said: "He is a person who takes the overall situation into consideration."
Hu Xiaotian looked at Quan De'an's back with suspicion: "Eunuch Quan, I don't understand something. Did you let me enter the palace just to serve the emperor and atone for the sins of our Hu family?"
Quan De'an shook his head and said: "Of course it's not that simple."
"What is the reason for? Isn't father-in-law still unwilling to tell the truth?"
"The Za family will only tell you when you have the ability to establish yourself in the palace."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid that once my wings harden, I will become less obedient?"
Quan De'an also laughed: "I have thought about it, but I am not afraid."
Hu Xiaotian always felt that the old eunuch smiled with evil intentions. He seemed to be full of confidence in manipulating him. Hu Xiaotian said: "I always know how to repay kindness. Just don't worry, I will definitely not cheat you."
Quan De'an smiled and said: "Tip! I'm not afraid either!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Before entering the palace, I have a few requests." This guy is a little pushy.
Quan De'an said: "Tell me and listen."
"I want to meet my father and mother."
"No!" Quan De'an flatly refused.
Hu Xiaotian said again: "Then let me meet Murong Feiyan and Zhan Peng."
Quan De'an thought for a while and finally nodded and said: "You can see them, and I can let them go, but you must let them understand that you are willing to purify yourself and enter the palace."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Quan De'an said: "Let Fugui take you there. They have been locked up in the backyard. These days, I entertained them with good food and drink, and I didn't embarrass them."
Fugui led Hu Xiaotian to the backyard where Murong Feiyan and Zhan Peng were imprisoned. One of them was imprisoned in the east and the other was imprisoned in the west. During this time, Fugui had been responsible for delivering food to them. The little eunuch was very talkative.
Well, even though Hu Xiaotian asked him countless times, Fugui didn't mention a word, not even a single word was revealed.
Hu Xiaotian is also wearing a eunuch's costume. From today on, he will start to enter the role. Although he has not yet mastered the art of raising yin and shrinking yang, he expects that Murong Feiyan will not take the initiative to verify his identity. As for Zhan Peng,
Not to mention being so boring that he cares about this part of his body. Quan De'an is right about what he said. If you want to save your own life and the safety of the Hu family, you must be careful in your words and deeds and firmly keep this secret.
Murong Feiyan had become much haggard during this period. Although the sword wound on her shoulder had healed, the meridians injured by Quan De'an still had not recovered.
The door that had been closed for many days slowly opened, and the skylight outside filtered in. Murong Feiyan squinted his eyes and looked out, only to see a tall figure slowly walking towards her from the dazzling light and shadow. Murong Feiyan
Before Feiyan could see the man's face clearly, he heard a familiar and warm voice saying: "Fugui, wait for me outside."
Hearing Hu Xiaotian's voice, an indescribable complex emotion washed over Murong Feiyan's heart, and tears flowed down silently in the darkness.
Hu Xiaotian slowly came to her side, squatted down, and looked at Murong Feiyan's haggard face with the faint light. He suddenly felt an indescribable pity and heartache. He did not speak, but slowly stretched out his hand.
It fell gently on Murong Feiyan's messy hair.
Murong Feiyan's tears couldn't stop falling. She felt that she had never been so weak as now. Even when she was captured by Quan De'an, even when her body was severely injured, even when she was imprisoned in this dark room, she did not feel any pain.
She didn't waver at all, didn't ask for mercy, didn't feel scared, but in front of Hu Xiaotian, her strength and bravery collapsed in an instant. She held Hu Xiaotian's hand with her hand, pressed her pretty face into his palm, and silently felt the pain from him.
The temperature in their palms felt so real, so warm, and so happy at this moment. In their hearts, the two of them only hoped that this moment would become eternal.
When Murong Feiyan's eyes gradually adapted to the light, she could clearly see the gray eunuch clothes on Hu Xiaotian, but she didn't think too much. All she cared about was Hu Xiaotian's safety: "Are you okay?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded, his smile as warm as ever: "How did you find this place?"
