Wu Jingshan, the Minister of Rites, finally returned to Kangdu. He rushed back only after receiving the exact news that Hu Xiaotian was awarded a reward by the imperial court. For Wu Jingshan, he never thought about competing with Hu Xiaotian, and it was enough to be able to survive the crisis safely.
Fortunately, he still dared to have any unreasonable thoughts, not to mention that during their mission, the imperial power of Dakang changed, and the old emperor regained the power of Dakang, which made Wu Jingshan panic all day long. You must know that he was in Long Yelin
Those who were the first to defect after taking office were the only ones among the six ministers who retained their official positions. Although the old emperor had publicly announced that he would not be blamed for the things that the officials in the DPRK had done before, how trustworthy are the emperor's words?
However, judging from the performance of the old emperor since he returned to power, he did not seem to be eager to rectify the official structure of the court. Except for Ji Feihua, he did not hold any officials accountable. This gave Wu Jingshan some hope. After getting Hu Xiaotian's arrest,
After being appointed deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, Wu Jingshan finally made up his mind to return to Kangdu.
When Wu Jingshan returned to Kangdu, he didn't even bother to go home. He first went to Hu Mansion to visit Hu Xiaotian.
When Hu Xiaotian heard that Wu Jingshan had returned, he hurriedly welcomed him out. Wu Jingshan left Yongdu before Hu Xiaotian, and there were no twists and turns on the way back. However, this did not mean that he felt better in his heart. The heavy pressure on his mind made him...》∫
During this period, I became obviously much more haggard, and my whole person looked extremely old.
When Hu Xiaotian saw Wu Jingshan's rickety figure appearing in front of him, he quickly walked towards it, took three steps in two steps, clasped his fists and saluted, "Master Wu, you really miss me!"
Wu Jingshan also seemed very excited and grabbed Hu Xiaotian's arm: "Brother Hu, I have been thinking about you day and night these days."
Hu Xiaotian secretly laughed in his heart, it was not too disgusting for an old man to say such words to a young guy like me. Also following Wu Jingshan were Yan Fei, Zhao Chongwu and others, who were on this mission. The wisdom and courage shown by Hu Xiaotian had already made these guys secretly
I admire him, and now I heard that the eunuch Hu Xiaotian was always pretending. He endured the humiliation and infiltrated into the palace just to collect evidence on Ji Feihua, and I admire him even more.
Zhao Chongwu, Yan Fei and others used to be members of the Shence Mansion. Now Wen Boyuan is dead, and the third prince who was behind the establishment of the Shence Mansion is also dead. The emperor has banned the Shence Mansion, and they have nowhere to go, and their hearts are already
I have made a plan to work with Hu Xiaotian from now on. With Hu Xiaotian's mind and courage, I don't have to worry about following him until I get ahead.
After Hu Xiaotian greeted this group of people, he asked Liang Dazhuang to arrange for the group of warriors to rest and eat first, while he and Wu Jingshan came to his study.
Wu Jingshan had a lot to say to Hu Xiaotian. After the two of them sat down, the servants of the Hu Mansion presented them with fragrant tea. In the past two days, they heard that the Hu Mansion had returned to its former owner, and many of the servants and maids came back one after another, although not as much as those of Hu Mansion.
It was the period when the government was at its peak, but it’s not that far gone.
Wu Jingshan picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea and said: "Commander Hu, I wonder if my respected father has returned to the house?" The old guy was not confused. He just said he was a brother, but when he asked Hu Buwei, he still used his official title. In the past, in
When he was in court, even Hu Buwei would call him brother Jingshan. Now he calls Hu Buwei's son brother, but he really admires Hu Xiaotian. This mission allowed him to see that Hu Xiaotian is superhuman.
With such courage and wisdom, this boy will definitely be nothing like a fish in the pond in the future.
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "My father is very stubborn. I have already gone to ask him to come back, but he refused to comply. He just said that the emperor did not give the order, so he still lives in Shuijing'er Hutong."
Wu Jingshan sighed: "Master Hu has indeed suffered a lot of grievances."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Who among us ministers has never been wronged?"
Wu Jingshan nodded with deep sympathy and whispered: "What did your Majesty say about the princess?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Nothing to say, after all, this matter is beyond the scope of our responsibilities. The order given to you and me by the court was to send Her Royal Highness Princess Anping to Yongdu safely. What happened when we arrived at Dayong's territory?
It is out of our control. Fortunately, the Emperor is reasonable and knows that we have tried our best and that the responsibility does not lie with you or me. Lord Wu, just rest assured that His Majesty will not hold us responsible."
Although Wu Jingshan had already guessed it, it was not as reassuring as Hu Xiaotian saying it himself. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "To be honest with you, brother Hu, I have always been uneasy since I left Yongdu. When I heard that the princess
After the tragic news of his murder, I couldn’t even think about food or food, and even thought of dying in the line of duty, but then I thought, even if I die, I must die clearly, and I must come back to see His Majesty.”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Now that you are back, Your Majesty has also changed."
Wu Jingshan said: "I just don't know if Your Majesty will blame me?" After Hu Xiaotian's words, he no longer worried about Princess Anping's affairs, but began to feel uneasy about what he had done. After all, he was an old minister at the time.
The first group to support Long Yelin.
Hu Xiaotian knew what he was afraid of and said with a smile: "Master Wu, why should you worry too much? Since your Majesty regained power, he seems not to care about the affairs of the court. Almost all matters have been handed over to King Yongyang to handle on his behalf."
Wu Jingshan said: "Could it be Princess Yongyang?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "To tell you the truth, I was just as nervous as you when I first came back this time, so I went to see King Yongyang first. Fortunately, she treated me well." Hu Xiaotian's expression looked a little proud.
, In fact, this incident did not make him get carried away. He made such an expression just to show Wu Jingshan. He just wanted to send a signal to Wu Jingshan that he had been reused by King Yongyang.
Wu Jingshan has been in the officialdom for many years. How could he not understand what Hu Xiaotian meant? He smiled more and more humbly: "Brother Hu, King Yongyang would like to have a few kind words for me."
Hu Xiaotian said: "There is no problem. Mr. Wu and I have shared weal and woe together. This friendship is unmatched by others."
Wu Jingshan nodded and said: "After experiencing this, I have long thought of quitting. If the emperor does not punish me this time, I also plan to retire and return to my hometown. I will be free to write poems and poems in the future, and spend the rest of my life with peace of mind." He said.
Everything he said was true. Given his age, he could not have done much in his official career. Moreover, he was more aware of what he had done during the previous changes in imperial power. He was worried that one day the old emperor would settle the scores and retreat bravely.
Wonderful, maybe you can get away with it.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Although Mr. Wu has this intention, he may not be able to achieve his wish. I think it is better not to make these requests easily now, so as not to worry His Majesty. If he thinks that Mr. Wu is unwilling to serve him, wouldn't it be troublesome?"
When Wu Jingshan was reminded by Hu Xiaotian, he couldn't help but broke into a cold sweat. He had been an official for so many years in vain, and he didn't even think of this level. Yes, although the old emperor didn't pursue the case now, it didn't mean that he was willing to tell what happened in the past.
The matter was wiped out, and the reason why there was no rush to move these officials was, firstly, to stabilize the current situation, and secondly, because these officials did still have some remaining value.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Even Taishi Wen is assisting the government in the court, so why should Master Wu worry so much?"
When Wu Jingshan heard the name of Taishi Wen, he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. The emperor was at one level, and Wen Chenghuan was at another level. Wen Boyuan went on an envoy with them but died on the way. Wen Chenghuan would definitely not give up.
Maybe this will turn his anger on them. Wu Jingshan whispered: "I am hesitating on how to explain Wen Boyuan's matter to the grand master."
Hu Xiaotian said: "There is something you may not know. When I returned from Dayong, during my stay in Wuxing County, Navy Admiral Zhao Dengyun actually intended to murder me."
Wu Jingshan was shocked when he heard this and said angrily: "This person is really hateful? He dares to murder Zhongliang!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Fortunately, I saw through his treacherous plan in advance. He and I had no grudges in the past. Do you think why he wanted to harm me?"
"Why?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "He was entrusted by Master Wen to put me to death! Because Master Wen blamed me for his son's death." At this point, Hu Xiaotian glanced at Wu Jingshan deliberately. Since Wen Chenghuan
If you can do this to me, you can do this to you. After all, there were two of them who were on the mission with Wen Boyuan at that time.
Wu Jingshan said: "It is a bit unreasonable for Grand Master Wen to do this."
"Once hatred goes to your head, how can you be reasonable?" Hu Xiaotian picked up the tea cup and took a sip and said: "You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. Although we have never done anything to regret Taishi Wen,
But there is no guarantee that he will not regard us as enemies, Master Wu still needs to be more careful."
Wu Jingshan nodded: "Thank you for reminding me."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Although Dakang's power has changed frequently in recent years, the more so, the more opportunities there are. What do you think, Mr. Wu?"
Wu Jingshan could tell that Hu Xiaotian was telling him that this kid was now in charge of King Yongyang. If that little girl from King Yongyang wanted to gain a firm foothold in the court, she might not be able to do it on her own. If she wanted to convince the crowd, she must unite.
For some of the old ministers in the court, could it be that Hu Xiaotian’s real intention was to surrender to King Yongyang? Wu Jingshan was old and cunning. He immediately understood the meaning of Hu Xiaotian’s words and deliberately tested Hu Xiaotian: “Brother Hu, if it is convenient, can you do it for me?
Arrange to meet King Yongyang?"
Hu Xiaotian secretly praised the old guy for his intelligence, nodded and said: "I'm afraid it will take a while. After the princess was buried, Your Majesty asked me to accompany him to Tianlong Temple to fast and chant sutras. It will take a month at the earliest before he can come back.
"
Wu Jingshan heard that he had another chance to be alone with the old emperor, and he was secretly envious. With Hu Xiaotian's ability to speculate, it was very possible for him to win favor with the old emperor during this period. If he became a popular person around the old emperor, he would be a good person in the future.
The future is becoming increasingly limitless.
