Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty-Fourth [Retelling the Old] (Part 2)
After working hard in the officialdom for a long time, Hu Xiaotian has naturally gained a much deeper understanding of it. Everyone is just pretending to be hypocritical. If you are real, you will lose.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for worrying about me."
Zhang Ziqian said: "Later, I heard that Mr. Hu entered the palace to take the responsibility for his father. Such filial piety is really touching."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The past has passed, Mr. Zhang doesn't need to mention it anymore."
Zhang Ziqian nodded and said: "Yes, yes. When I saw Brother Hu, I was so excited that I started to speak erratically. I hope Brother Hu will forgive me for his mistakes."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang and I are old friends, why should you be so polite to me?"
At this time, his subordinates presented him with fragrant tea, and Hu Xiaotian invited Zhang Ziqian to have some tea.
Zhang Ziqian took a sip of tea and finally turned the conversation to the main topic: "I wonder why Brother Hu is here?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Two things, one is to celebrate General Li's birthday, and the other is to pass a decree to General Li on the emperor's order."
Zhang Ziqian slowly lowered the tea cup, moved closer to Hu Xiaotian, and whispered: "Brother Hu, can you reveal the content of the emperor's edict?"
Hu Xiaotian could have rejected Zhang Ziqian directly, but he did not do so. He looked around and pretended to be mysterious: "I don't dare to peek at the emperor's decree, but I have listened to some of the emperor's wishes. To be honest, Mr. Zhang, the emperor
I want to make General Li king!"
In fact, the news that the old emperor wants to make Li Tianheng king has already been spread through various channels. This is also a strategy of the old emperor. He wants everyone in the world to know that I owe you Li Tianheng as much as a mountain. Ever since Emperor Mingzong, Dakang has never been more powerful.
By not naming someone with a different surname as king, Long Xuanen is breaking the rules that have been adhered to for hundreds of years. In this situation, if you, Li Tianheng, still want to rebel, it proves your ambition. You are a traitor and a traitor, and you cannot hold your head high in front of the people of the world.
Come.
Zhang Ziqian nodded and said with joy on his face: "It's really a good thing. I really should tell General Li earlier."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I also ask Mr. Zhang to arrange for me to meet with General Li as soon as possible to convey the emperor's will to him. I also want to complete the tasks of my trip as soon as possible."
Zhang Ziqian sighed and said: "Brother Hu, what a coincidence. Don't you know that General Li is not in Xizhou?"
Hu Xiaotian was startled when he heard this. When he saw Li Honghan just now, he didn't mention it at all. Li Tianheng was not in Xizhou? His birthday was in seven days. There were many guests from the surrounding countries and tribes who came to congratulate him on his birthday.
, does Li Tianheng really want to let so many people fly? Hu Xiaotian was deeply suspicious of Zhang Ziqian's words, but he did not show it on the surface. He said with a slight regret: "It is indeed a coincidence. Isn't General Li planning to celebrate his birthday?"
Zhang Ziqian smiled and said: "Brother Hu, don't worry, there are still seven days until the general's birthday. He will definitely come back before the 23rd."
Hu Xiaotian secretly sneered in his heart, Old Fox, you have made it clear that I will not be able to see Li Tianheng before my birthday, leaving you more time to consider countermeasures.
Zhang Ziqian said: "Brother Hu hasn't been to Xizhou yet. I must stay a few more days this time to visit the mountains and rivers here. After finishing the general's birthday, I will definitely take some time to spend more time with Brother Hu."
It just happens that you and I can talk about all kinds of things and write and write, which is great."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said: "Okay! Okay!" But he thought to himself, you and I, a bad old man, can't talk to each other. However, it seems that Zhang Ziqian's words cannot be taken seriously. The old guy represents Li Tianheng's interests.
Come here and act extremely hypocritical in front of yourself.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr. Zhang, Xiaotian has something to ask me."
Zhang Ziqian said: "Brother Hu, please tell me."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I once had an old friend. He was Zhou Wenju, known as the miracle doctor of Xichuan. I heard that he was in Xizhou, but I don't know his specific whereabouts. I hope Mr. Zhang can help me find out."
Zhang Ziqian agreed wholeheartedly.
In the Yuejiang Tower in the north of Xichuan City, the founding father Li Tianheng stood on the seventh floor of the Yuejiang Tower with his hands folded. From here, you can see the Nusha River in the distance. The surging Nusha River looks gentle and graceful from this angle. On the Qilao Mountain
It meanders in the canyon, like a golden streamer under the setting sun. No sound of waves can be heard, no waves can be seen. The evening wind is like a girl's soft and delicate palm gently stroking the skin of her cheek. Li Tianheng closed his eyes comfortably.
With his eyes, he likes this feeling of loneliness, as if he is the only one in the world, and he is above all others. As long as he is willing, he can make mountains and rivers collapse, change the course of rivers, and change the fate of anyone.
There were strong footsteps behind him, and Li Tianheng frowned slightly. From the footsteps alone, he could tell that the person was his eldest son, Li Honghan. Although Li Tianheng hadn't seen his son yet, he had already guessed his mood at this time.
Han still lacked composure, and his pace was obviously much faster than usual. He only started to slow down when he came behind him.
Li Tianheng did not turn around, but still cast his gaze on the distant river under the sunset, and whispered: "Distance can easily give people an illusion. Standing on the Yuejiang Tower, the Nusha River seems as flat as a mirror. If you don't go to the riverside, you won't be able to see it.
The truly brutal side of it.”
Li Honghan was not as leisurely as his father. He took a break from his busy schedule and was alone on the Yuejiang Tower overlooking the distant river scenery. He bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Father, the envoy of Dakang has arrived."
Li Tianheng nodded and whispered: "You always focus on family and country affairs, but never pay attention to the scenery around you."
Li Honghan didn't know what his father meant by these words. He thought about it and smiled and said: "This kid from Yuejiang Tower has been here more than a hundred times. Even if he closes his eyes, he knows what he can see."
Li Tianheng turned around and stared at his son's heroic face with deep eyes: "In the vast world, everything is changing all the time. Even in an instant, the scenery is completely different, not to mention the spring, summer, autumn and winter, the stars change."
Li Honghan said: "The child's state is not as good as that of his father."
Li Tianheng smiled and shook his head. Although he was a well-known military general in Dakang, he was born very elegant, with fair complexion, sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes. The three long strands of beard under his chin gave him a somewhat elegant and fairy-like appearance.
Li Honghan said: "The imperial envoy sent by the imperial court is Hu Xiaotian!"
Li Tianheng said softly, without showing any surprised expression. Kang Du Nei had his spies, and every move of the old emperor would be reported to him as soon as possible. Li Tianheng said: "This child is not simple.
When I first came to Xichuan, I knew he was very good, but I didn't expect him to have such great energy." He paused, sighed and said, "He and Wuyou should have been a match made in heaven."
Li Honghan said: "My father seems to think highly of him. The Hu family has to look at the emperor's face to live their lives now. Regardless of their temporary glory, they may fall out of favor and be in trouble at some time."
Li Tianheng slowly shook his head: "He is now Dakang's future consort. What is the emperor's purpose in sending him here?"
Li Honghan was about to speak when someone announced that it was Zhang Ziqian who had arrived.
Li Tianheng said: "Honghan, go and make arrangements. Be sure to treat us like distinguished guests. Don't let them feel that we are treating you poorly. There will be many guests coming in the next two days. You must be equal."
We must not let any party feel that we are biased."
Li Honghan nodded. He wanted to talk to his father about something, but Zhang Ziqian's arrival made him lose this opportunity. He knew his father's temperament. When he was talking to Zhang Ziqian, the chief staff member, he didn't like anyone to be present, even if
His biological son is no exception.
When Li Honghan left, he walked across from Zhang Ziqian and saluted respectfully. Zhang Ziqian was not only Xichuan's chief staff member, but also his teacher.
Zhang Ziqian smiled and nodded.
Li Tianheng waved to Zhang Ziqian: "Brother Ziqian, I have been waiting for your news."
Zhang Ziqian smiled and said: "My lord, I kept you waiting for a long time."
Li Tianheng deliberately made a serious face and said: "I have told you so many times that when we are alone, we treat each other as brothers."
Zhang Ziqian said: "The etiquette of monarch and minister, master and servant, father and son, master and apprentice cannot be messed up."
Li Tianheng said: "I won't argue with you, an old master. Anyway, I can't defeat you. Please tell me what you got."
Zhang Ziqian said: "Consistent with what we have learned before, Hu Xiaotian is here to convey the emperor's decree and make the lord the king!"
Li Tianheng nodded, turned around and looked into the distance again. After a while, he patted the railing heavily and said, "The emperor is indeed very kind to me. He actually broke the rules of nearly two hundred years and made an exception by naming me a king with a different surname.
The kindness is so grand that I dare to accept it."
Zhang Ziqian asked: "Master, are you really prepared to accept the emperor's canonization?"
Li Tianheng said: "The imperial edict has not yet arrived, but it has been spread all over the world. The emperor is using Gang Chang to kidnap me and force me to submit. If I don't agree, I will be labeled as a rebellious minister and a traitor, and I will be a slave to thousands of people."
It means that it will be stinking for thousands of years."
Zhang Ziqian said: "Natural disasters continue in Dakang, food shortages occur in many places in the country, and people are displaced. Xichuan alone has recently admitted millions of refugees. The national situation in Dakang has really reached the point where it is extremely difficult to make any progress."
Li Tianheng didn't realize what Zhang Ziqian said. He nodded and said: "Dakang will undoubtedly perish."
Zhang Ziqian said: "We can realize that how could the emperor not realize that people often make desperate choices at such times."
Li Tianheng said: "That's why he came up with the method of making the king a king. He wanted me to lead my troops back to Dakang and bring Xichuan back into Dakang's territory without spending a single soldier."
Zhang Ziqian said: "Will you agree?"
Li Tianheng did not answer Zhang Ziqian's question.
Zhang Ziqian did not wait for his answer and whispered: "My lord will never agree!"
The second update is here. I’m blushing that I didn’t even make it to the recommended list on the homepage. Brothers and sisters, please vote for two more and put Medical System on the top. There will be an update tonight! (To be continued...)
