Qiqi said: "Your Majesty and I have discussed it and plan to rehabilitate your Hu family and restore your father's position as Minister of Household Affairs."
When Hu Xiaotian heard this, he was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Your Highness, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, the emperor's kindness is so great that Xiaotian bursts into tears with gratitude."
Qiqi said: "Although Your Majesty has such intention, this matter should not be rushed."
Hu Xiaotian thought that the matter had been settled, but he didn't expect that Qiqi gasped for breath. He dared to say that the matter of love would not be implemented for a while. He just said it casually, which made me happy for nothing.
Qiqi said: "In the past two years, the situation in the Dakang court has been changing, and the civil and military officials have changed frequently. Your Majesty ascended the throne again. Although he wanted to re-appoint those loyal ministers and generals of the past, if the personnel changes are too hasty, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
Officials' dissatisfaction may even lead to uncontrollable consequences."
Hu Xiaotian nodded. Qiqi's words made sense and were by no means an excuse to treat him badly.
Qiqi said: "So things must be done step by step. The current situation must be stabilized first, and then we can rehabilitate the ministers who were wronged in the past. But don't worry, Mr. Hu can continue to serve in the Ministry of Household Affairs. I
I am also going to give you an official position."
Hu Xiaotian secretly rejoiced: "I wonder what position the princess plans to give me?"
Qiqi said: "Mr. Hong has made great contributions in quelling the rebellion. His Majesty has specially appointed him as the Sili Xiaowei to command the Tianji Bureau. He is responsible for supervising all officials in the capital and inspecting the three auxiliary and other seven counties. He has the power to inspect officials below the third official and can also serve as an edict.
It is within his jurisdiction to hunt down felons in the imperial court, arrest ministers, and even powerful relatives."
When Hu Xiaotian heard Qiqi mention Hong Beimo, he secretly sighed in his heart. The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandits. Ji Feihua will fall and Hong Beimo will take the throne. Judging from the power granted to him by the old emperor, in time he may be another Ji Feihua.
The old emperor still didn't learn the lesson from Ji Feihua. Those in power must know how to balance power, instead of concentrating all power on one person. Although one person can be trusted, one cannot be given full trust.
, we must find another person to check and balance him. I wonder what Qiqi meant when she suddenly mentioned Hong Beimo? Could it be that she was already alert?
Qiqi said: "The first thing Mr. Hong did after he came back was to persuade His Majesty to ban the Shence Mansion."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The Shence Mansion was not built jointly by Eunuch Quan and Grand Master Wen. His Highness the Third Prince also put a lot of effort into it."
Qiqi said: "Originally, I wanted to let Murong Zhan take charge of the Shence Mansion, but Murong Zhan was determined not to do so. Later, His Majesty proposed to ban the Shence Mansion, so I had no choice but to agree."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Is Her Royal Highness the Princess's original intention to have the Shence Mansion and the Tianji Bureau exist independently to supervise each other and check and balance each other?"
Qiqi nodded and said, "That's right. Although I don't doubt Mr. Hong's loyalty, it's not a good thing for your Majesty to give him too much power."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Absolute power will corrupt people absolutely. Your Majesty's intention is good. He wants Hong Beimo to lead the Tianji Bureau to supervise others, but has he ever thought about who will supervise Hong Beimo?
?”
A smile appeared on the corners of Qiqi's lips. It saved a lot of effort to talk to Hu Xiaotian. He should have fully understood what he meant.
Hu Xiaotian clasped his fists and said: "Xiaotian is not talented, but he is willing to take on this responsibility for the princess!"
Qiqi said: "You are not responsible for me, but for Dakang, but I don't know if you have any plans?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Royal Highness, the current great prosperity is waiting to be prospered. What is most lacking is not money, food, or land, but..." The guy paused for a moment before adding in emphasis: "Talent!"
Qiqi smiled and nodded: "You finally got what I wanted. From now on, the responsibility of recruiting talents for Dakang will fall on your shoulders."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Highness Princess, since Xiaotian said that I will go through fire and water for you, I will not go back on my word. It's just that I am walking out like this now, and I don't seem to be convincing at all."
Of course Qiqi could understand what he meant. This guy was looking for him to ask for an official position. Qiqi said: "Although the results of your mission are not satisfactory, after all, you have completed the mission entrusted to you by the late emperor. I
First, I will make you the Deputy Chief of the Royal Guards, and give you a five-colored dragon gold medal. If you have this gold medal waiting for me in person, you can show it if you encounter any trouble."
Hu Xiaotian stretched out his hands.
Qiqi couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw how impatient he was. She suppressed her laughter and took out a colorful dragon gold medal she had prepared and handed it to Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian had received the Royal Panlong Gold Medal in the past, but it seemed to be even worse than this Five-Colored Panlong Gold Medal. He had never seen or even heard of this Five-Colored Panlong Gold Medal. Take this
I turned it over in my hand and looked at it several times, and praised it: "It's a good thing. It's worth a lot of money at a glance."
Qiqi said: "I will only give you one gold medal. You must keep it well and don't lose it."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "You can't lose your brand even if you lose your life." He then tied the gold medal around his waist, revealing the jade Pixiu around his waist.
Qiqi's beautiful eyes lit up: "What is that?"
Hu Xiaotian took off the jade brave and handed it to her to look at, and said with a smile: "This is a parting gift from King Yongyan to me."
Qiqi took it in her hand and looked over it, her beautiful eyes were shining brightly. Hu Xiaotian saw that she liked this thing, so he smiled and said: "It's indecent to come back but not to reciprocate. You gave me a gold medal, and I will give you this jasper Pixiu."
is you."
"Really!" Qiqi said happily, her little girl's nature was revealed just now.
Hu Xiaotian sighed inwardly, he was still a child after all.
Qi Qi also seemed to realize that she had lost her temper, and immediately stopped smiling and said: "A gentleman will not take away people's love, so I don't want it anymore."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "You are not a gentleman."
Qiqi's face turned cold, as if she was about to get angry.
Hu Xiaotian said: "You are a girl! A pure and kind girl." Hu Xiaotian wanted to vomit when he said these words. If Qiqi was pure and kind, all the girls in the world would be as pure as new-born babies.
Same thing. He also told Qiqi about the ability of Jasper Pixiu to predict cloudiness and sunshine. The more she listened, the more she liked it, so she put the Jasper Pixiu away: "Since you really want to give it to me, I will accept it.
"
Hu Xiaotian said in his heart that he knew you wanted it. In terms of the value of things, the Jasper Pixiu is much more valuable than the five-color dragon gold medal. However, if the symbolic meaning is taken into account, the five-color gold medal cannot be exchanged for any amount of money.
of.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Highness, does this gold medal have another function?"
Qiqi didn't understand what he meant and blinked.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Can you avoid death?"
Qiqi smiled and said: "What? Are you planning ahead now, are you afraid that one day I will kill you?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I usually don't speak and behave well. You should know that if I offend you in any way, what should I do if you lose your temper and make me tick? In fact, I'm not afraid if you tick me. It's just
I'm worried that you will regret it later after you click me. When the time comes, people will not be resurrected and you won't be able to cry."
Qiqi spat: "I will never cry for you in this life!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "How about you promise me something, and I will feel more at ease when I work for you in the future."
"whats the matter?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "How about you promise to spare me the death penalty at any time?"
Qiqi said coldly: "Hu Xiaotian, Hu Xiaotian, if I agree to this thing for you, wouldn't you be able to do whatever you want in the future? Well, let me promise you one thing. No matter what you do wrong in the future, I will forgive you once."
Immortal."
Hu Xiaotian bargained: "Three times!"
"once!"
"Five times!"
"twice!"
"Seven times!"
Qi Qifeng's eyes widened and he said: "No need to say more, just twice, otherwise not once!"
Hu Xiaotianxin said twice is twice, twice will not die, hehe, it proves that I will have two chances to make big mistakes in the future, Qiqi, Qiqi, you are still a child after all, how can you compare with my cunningness.
Qiqi said: "You can go directly to the Siyuan Bureau and hand over the matters at hand tomorrow. From now on, your identity will be the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, and you will also be responsible for helping me recruit talents."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Who is the commander of the imperial guards?"
"Murong Zhan!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Doesn't that mean he is my immediate boss?"
Qiqi smiled and said, "I'm just giving you a random official position. It will be easier for you to enter and leave the palace as the deputy commander of the imperial guards. You don't need to be responsible for the management of the palace guards. Of course Murong Zhan can't control you."
Hu Xiaotian felt relieved after hearing what she said. He didn't want to face Murong Zhan's lifeless white face all day long.
Qiqi said: "I will announce your matter to the officials at the court meeting. It will be a matter of time for your father to resume his official position. For now, let him reorganize the household department. In the future, Dakang will rely on him for money and food."
Contribution, by the way, your Majesty the Hu family's house has also promised to be returned to you. You can take the time to claim the things that have been confiscated by the Ministry of Punishments. Mustache, I have been extremely benevolent and righteous to you."
Hu Xiaotian burst into tears and said: "The kindness of a drop of water is repaid by a spring, and the kindness of the princess is a spring. Xiaotian can only give this seven-foot body to His Highness. Even if he goes to die for His Highness, he will not frown."
Qiqi said: "Don't say such unlucky words. In short, if you work for me in a down-to-earth manner, your benefits will be indispensable in the future, and the benefits of your Hu family will be indispensable. Also, don't think that you have me as your backer."
Do whatever you want in the capital."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Xiaotian remembered it!"
Qiqi said: "You go, take a rest early, and take office starting tomorrow!"
"Yes!" Hu Xiaotian said angrily.
The guy turned around and opened the door to leave. Qiqi stopped him again and said, "Where are you going from?"
Hu Xiaotian said enthusiastically: "Xiaotian can finally live a good life with his head held high, of course he must walk out of the door."
Qiqi glared at him and said, "You didn't come in through the gate. Do you want everyone to know about the secret passage? Where did you come from? Get out of here!"
