Hu Xiaotian expected that it would be difficult to hide this matter from his father's ears, and sure enough, when Hu Buwei returned home that night, he called Hu Xiaotian into his study.
Seeing his father's gloomy expression, Hu Xiaotian guessed that his father had most likely heard about the conflict between him and Shi Xuedong.
When Hu Buwei saw Hu Xiaotian come in, he slapped the desk with his palm and roared: "Kneel down!"
In Hu Xiaotian's impression, this father had never been so angry before. It seemed that he had really made this father angry today. Hu Xiaotian knelt down with a pop and muttered: "Kneel down, just kneel down."
!The father asks the son to kneel, and the son has to kneel."
Hu Buwei said: "Wrong! The father lets the son die and the son has to die!"
"No way, dad, I am your biological child. You don't look like someone who would kill your relatives out of righteousness!"
Hu Bu couldn't help but want to laugh because he said that, but he knew that now was not the time to laugh. He glared at Hu Xiaotian with a straight face and said, "You bastard, do you think I don't dare to kill my relatives out of justice?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Dad, I still take back what I just said. This is not the first time that you have killed a relative out of justice."
Hu Buwei said: "Presumptuous!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Finding me a paralytic as my wife is equivalent to taking away all the happiness of the rest of my life and the happiness of my lower body. Isn't this called annihilation of relatives for justice?"
"Well……"
"I don't have any great ambitions, and I don't want to make any achievements. I just want to stay in the capital and be by your and my mother's side to fulfill my filial piety. But you can't satisfy me with so many demands. You insist on sending me to Xichuan. What's the point?
Is this considered killing one’s relatives out of righteousness?”
"this……"
"It's only three things. You've killed me twice, and today you want to kill me for justice. I believe you must be ruthless and can do it. Dad, if you really don't like me, just kill me."
, anyway, you gave me this life, even if you kill me, I will have no complaints."
"Ah...this...is really...so angry that I'm so angry!" Hu Buwei covered his head, staggered back two steps, and sat down in the Taishi chair. Don't look at Hu Buwei's clever tongue in the court.
Ruhuang, but there is really nothing he can do to face this son. In the past sixteen years, he has racked his brains a lot because of his son's stupidity and stupidity. He finally hoped that God would be wise and his son would become smart overnight.
I got up, but I didn't expect that I was smart enough, but I started to cause trouble for myself, and the troubles became bigger and bigger every time. Last time I provoked a sixth-rank official, and now I directly provoked Shi Buqi, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Go up. To say that I and Shi Buchui are still on the same side politically, recently I specifically asked Shi Buchui for help in finding an official position for this kid. This kid is really worried.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Dad, please don't be angry. As you get older, you must have a peaceful mind. You can scold me a few times or hit me a few times, but you can't use my mistakes to punish yourself, right? Really?"
If I make you angry and sick, don't you still have to take care of me? How much hatred do we have? Do we have to make both sides lose?"
When Hu Buwei heard this kid's absurd reasoning, he felt angry and funny at the same time. He finally couldn't help but cursed: "You brat, you really want to piss me off to death..." He couldn't help but say this.
He laughed. He wanted to keep his face straight, frown and give his son a profound lesson, but he was actually helpless by his gag.
Hu Xiaotian saw his father smiling and knew that this matter should not be a big problem. He approached his father and said, "Dad, why are you angry with me?"
Hu Buwei glanced at him and said, "Did I ask you to get up?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "My knees are swollen. I'm not afraid of hurting myself. I'm afraid that you will worry about me. If I really get sick because of this, you can't feel sorry for me. Even if you don't feel sorry for me, my mother must feel sorry for me."
?As soon as she comes back and finds out about this matter, she will definitely settle the score with you. It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. If there is a fire in this backyard, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Hu Buwei looked at his son and sneered: "Threaten me?"
"Don't dare!"
Hu Buwei suddenly laughed, and Hu Xiaotian also laughed evilly along with him.
Unexpectedly, Hu Bu stopped laughing, but Hu Xiaotian was still laughing due to inertia. It was too late to brake quickly, and he couldn't help but said in embarrassment: "Dad, you don't even say hello, you don't dodge people like this."
Hu Buwei said: "In three days, you leave for Xichuan!"
"What?" Although Hu Xiaotian had already been mentally prepared, he couldn't help being surprised when the matter was finally confirmed. Immediately, unspeakable joy emerged in his heart. Originally, he thought his father had forgotten it.
Unexpectedly, this matter has been going on all this time. This guy pretended to be: "Dad, I don't want to leave you!"
Hu Buwei said: "It's not up to you! What else can you do in this capital besides causing trouble? If you are not allowed to go out and experience, you will not understand the hardships of the world, and you will not know how to cherish this hard-won good time.
He stood up, patted his son on the shoulder and said: "Xiaotian, it's not because of me as a cruel father. If you don't polish it, you won't be able to use it. If you don't learn, you won't be righteous. Traveling thousands of miles is more valuable than reading thousands of books."
It has to be effective.”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Dad, do you really want me to go to Xichuan to be the son-in-law of the Li family?" He has always doubted his father's motive for letting him go to Xichuan. He always felt that this matter was not just about letting him leave the capital to temporarily avoid the political storm.
of simplicity.
Hu Buwei smiled calmly and said: "Since I let you out, I want to give you a good temper. I have no intention of telling the local officials about your identity. As long as you don't make it public, the Li family will certainly not know. Xichuan is a vast area, and the Li family
In Xizhou, the place you went to was called Qingyun, and here you are serving as the Prime Minister of Qingyun County. How could the Li family, who is in charge of the entire Xichuan, pay attention to a small Qingyun County?"
Hu Xiaotian blinked his eyes. He originally thought that if the old man asked him to go out to serve as an official, he would not end up in a remote rural area. The name of Qingyun County sounds auspicious. It is a smooth career. I started from Qingyun. Doesn't it mean that I will have to take this official position in the future?
It's getting higher and higher. But according to my father's opinion, Qingyun should be very small. He knows that the county magistrate is not the top leader in a county, which is equivalent to the deputy county magistrate, and there is the county magistrate above him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "What grade of official do I, the county magistrate, count as?"
Hu Buwei was stunned by his question. The county magistrate was too young, and he really didn't pay attention to his rank. He thought for a while before saying, "It should be the ninth rank...below!"
When Hu Xiaotian first heard that he would be given freedom and released to serve as an official, he was excited. But when he heard his father's words, he immediately felt like someone had poured cold water on him. I said! I'm still at the ninth level!
Who are you fooling? Is that still called an official? Hu Xiaotian said: "Dad, I dare you to ask your friends to find connections. In the end, you got me such a sesame official. Uh, I made a mistake, that is, half a sesame official."
"What? Not happy?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't have anything, but you are a third-rank official. I am a third-rank official in the imperial court. I have to take care of a ninth-rank official. Do you think it looks good to me? Let me declare in advance that I don't care. As long as you don't
I feel embarrassed, but I don’t care!”
Hu Buweiyan couldn't see the crookedness of this guy. Even if he said a thousand words, he still disliked the official for being too young. He smiled and said: "You don't have to worry too much. I have no intention of telling others that you are my son. Are you afraid to give it to me?"
I'm embarrassed, don't say he's my son after taking office."
Hu Xiaotian was completely dumbfounded: "Dad, why do I feel that you have killed a relative out of necessity again?"
Hu Buwei said: "I have worked very hard, son. In fact, if you go to Xichuan, you will only have to practice for two years at most. Xichuan has beautiful scenery and outstanding people. You can just go there to relax." In fact, Hu Buwei said.
I really couldn't bear to let my son go, but I was facing a change of imperial power. There was an undercurrent in the court, and I didn't know what changes would happen. It happened that at this time, their family's iron book of alchemy was stolen again.
Now the matter has not been exposed, but if he has not been found for a day, it will eventually become a hidden danger, like a heavy mountain pressing on Hu Buwei's heart. The Hu family only has a single seedling, Hu Xiaotian, and it was Hu Buwei who sent him to Xichuan.
It should be said that the escape route left by his family was a decision he made after careful consideration.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Since you have made your decision, I have nothing to say."
