Hu Xiaotian asked Visa to find Yang Lingqi. Yang Lingqi had been at Fengyi Villa during this period. Hearing that Hu Xiaotian was looking for him, he came over quickly, bringing with him a map he drew himself. Yang Lingqi’s right hand has been passing by Meng Zizai
After the treatment, his function has improved a lot. Although he cannot completely return to normal, there are no longer many obstacles to picking up a pen and writing. However, if he wants to restore his former painting skills, he may still need an operation, coupled with long-term perseverance.
Functional exercise.
The reason why Hu Xiaotian invited Yang Lingqi here was for this matter. He was busy with other things before and never found time to operate on Yang Lingqi. Now he finally has some free time. He happened to take advantage of this time to connect the partially ruptured tendons on Yang Lingqi's right hand. I hope
It can help his right hand function recover as soon as possible.
When Yang Lingqi heard that Hu Xiaotian was looking for him for this matter, he smiled calmly and said: "Master, you don't have to worry about my affairs. It's God's mercy that I can recover to what I am now. I am able to write and draw. Ling Qi is already satisfied.
I don’t dare to have any more extravagant hopes.”
Hu Xiaotian looked at his palm. Yang Lingqi's little finger and ring finger were still unable to stretch freely. The tendons in this part should be ruptured. If they were reconnected by surgery, the function of his right hand would definitely be greatly improved. Hu Xiaotian said: "I am confident that he can
Your right hand has regained 80% of its former function."
Yang Lingqi now only has 50% of the function of his right hand, which is an unexpected joy for him. 80% of it is really not something he had expected. Seeing Hu Xiaotian's enthusiasm, Yang Lingqi nodded and said: "Since the palace master is so kind,
Lingqi had no choice but to be disrespectful."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I will operate on you tomorrow."
"Surgery?" Yang Lingqi has been with Hu Xiaotian for a long time and knows that he has an endless supply of novel words, so naturally he is not surprised.
Yang Lingqi did not take this surgery to seriously change his quality of life. He unfolded the map in front of Hu Xiaotian. This map of the territories of various countries was hand-drawn by Yang Lingqi. When he was not disabled, he drew such a map
It took him half an hour at most to draw the map, but this time he spent a whole day and night. Even so, the map was still not satisfactory, and the control of calligraphy with his disabled right hand was obviously greatly reduced. However, this was better than what Meng was comfortable with.
He was much better before treatment.
Hu Xiaotian looked at the map and smiled: "Not bad!"
Yang Lingqi said: "This is a map drawn up by Lingqi, marking all the territories that Dakang cannot give up."
Hu Xiaotian glanced at her and said, "How do you think the emperor will treat Princess Yongyang even if he adopts this suggestion?"
Yang Lingqi was slightly startled and didn't understand why Hu Xiaotian would ask this.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Look back and think about it carefully. Everything the emperor has done in these years is all for himself. He doesn't even consider the well-off society. Do you think he cares about the life and death of Princess Yongyang?"
Yang Lingqi nodded and said: "Yes, this is what I am puzzled by. As an emperor, even if he does not consider future generations, he will more or less take into account the inheritance passed down by his ancestors. His attention is not on the country at all.
On big things.”
Hu Xiaotian said: "What is the most important thing to an emperor?"
Yang Lingqi said: "The most important thing for a wise king is the country, the country, and the people. The most important thing for an ambitious monarch is hegemony and conquest. If he is a faint king, then he may only have wine, meat and women in his eyes."
Hu Xiaotian added: "The emperor is also a human being. What is the most important thing for a person?"
Yang Lingqi thought for a moment before replying: "Alive!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Yes, it is alive. Long Xuanen is already in his final years. If a person knows that he is going to die, he will reflect on his life and do some good deeds to make up for the shortcomings of the past. But Long Xuanen
What have you done?"
Yang Lingqi said: "Maybe he is so greedy and sinister by nature."
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "According to the information I have, the emperor has added 30,000 migrant workers to the imperial mausoleum during this month. According to feedback from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the emperor has just added an additional 300,000 taels of gold to build the imperial mausoleum."
Since the last riot by migrant workers in the Imperial Tomb, the Imperial Tomb has been taken over by the Tianji Bureau. Hong Beimo has been responsible for the overall management of the Imperial Tomb. Sentries have been set up eighty miles around the Imperial Tomb and fifty miles away.
Heavy troops have been deployed, unless there is permission from the Emperor and Hong Beimo, no one is allowed to enter without permission, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"
Yang Lingqi: "The people of Dakang are displaced, have no food to eat, and no clothing to cover their bodies. The emperor still uses the treasury to build mausoleums. I really don't know what he thinks? Do you want to lose the support of the people and push Dakang to the top as early as possible?"
Can it be destroyed?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I have been thinking, why does he trust Hong Beimo so much? Is it because Hong Beimo helped him regain the throne?" Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "For a dying man, imperial power is obviously not necessary.
Yes, at the beginning, I thought Hong Beimo was another Ji Feihua. The real purpose of helping Long Xuanen was to monopolize power and dominate the government. However, I later discovered that Hong Beimo was not keen on power.
, If a person is not for money, then he is for profit, but Hong Beimo lives a poor and self-disciplined life. A person is not for money or power, and is still loyal to the emperor. Long Xuanen does not have such personality charm."
Yang Lingqi said: "The master of the palace is right, Hongbei Desert must have a plan."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It should be said that there is an unknown secret between him and the old emperor. They need each other and use each other. I remember that when I was at Tianlong Temple, Hong Beimo once sent people to the temple to search for "The Opening of the Universe".
"The Alchemy Cauldron Chapter of "Things". I heard people say that the method of cultivating the immortality elixir is recorded in the Alchemy Cauldron Chapter."
Yang Lingqi asked: "Elixir of Immortality? Is there really a theory of immortality in this world?" He blinked, obviously not believing it.
Hu Xiaotian didn't believe it either, but it didn't matter whether they believed it or not. The key was that the old emperor believed that if Long Xuanen believed in the theory of immortality, then Hong Beimo could completely rely on refining the elixir of immortality to fool him. Don't
For a master like Long Xuan'en who is mediocre and unprincipled, even Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han could not overcome the obstacle of immortality.
Hu Xiaotian said: "There must be secrets hidden in the imperial mausoleum."
Yang Lingqi sighed and said: "The emperor is so confused. If a person only wants to live forever, then he will not care about anything else."
Hu Xiaotian said: "So, anyone can be sacrificed by the emperor. Princess Yongyang is just a means for him to divert the attention of his subjects and ease the anger of the people. If he wholeheartedly wants to support the princess as his heir, there is no way he can do it.
There’s no need to make it so obvious.”
Yang Lingqi asked: "Is the palace master worried that he will be harmful to the princess?"
Hu Xiaotian did not answer his question and asked in a low voice: "If the princess takes the initiative to propose dividing the princes, what do you think he will think?"
Yang Lingqi said: "Nine times out of ten, he will think that the princess has ulterior motives." At this point, he raised his head and said, "Master, will this matter bring trouble to the princess?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Hong Beimo controls the Tianji Bureau, and now the Hundred Thousand Yulin Guards are also under his control. Murong Zhan is also a member of Hong Beimo's camp. With our current strength, we cannot compete with them."
Yang Lingqi said: "Master, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to leave Kangdu, the center of power, and avoid the spotlight for a while? Now is not the time to fight with Hong Beimo."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I want to leave, but I'm afraid that the emperor may not be willing to let me go." He didn't want to leave, just because the old emperor already had a grudge against the Hu family. If it weren't for Qiqi, he might have already taken action against him.
Of course, if Hu Xiaotian gives up everything and leaves quietly, he may not be able to do so with his current martial arts skills, but he is unwilling. Although Hu Xiaotian seems cynical, he has a kind of stubbornness in his bones that would rather break than bend. He will not give up easily.
He will not give in easily. Since his mother passed away, he has developed a determination and desire to figure everything out. He wants to seek an answer. He wants to make those who have or are plotting to design him and his mother get double the benefits.
retribution.
Yang Lingqi asked: "Why doesn't the palace master marry Princess Yongyang as soon as possible?"
Hu Xiaotian glanced at Yang Lingqi. With his sharp eyes, Yang Lingqi immediately realized that his meaning had been completely seen through by Hu Xiaotian. He lowered his head in embarrassment. The only thing Hu Xiaotian has left now is the identity of the future prince-in-law. Then
The paper engagement can be torn up at any time as long as the emperor is willing, but if the marriage becomes a reality, that is another matter. With the identity of the consort, the emperor may consider Qiqi's sake and give up the idea of harming Hu Xiaotian. And marriage can also make
Hu Xiaotian completely conquered the princess's heart by conquering her body.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The emperor does not care about anyone's life."
Yang Lingqi said: "The princess is different. The reason why Princess Yongyang has the political status she has today is entirely due to the emperor. Judging from the current situation in Dakang, the emperor still needs her."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm just curious, what is hidden in the imperial mausoleum?"
A helpless smile appeared on Yang Lingqi's lips. Hu Xiaotian was obviously unwilling to respond to his question. He whispered: "It's nothing more than an extravagant project that wastes people and money. Throughout the ages, how many monarchs have built the imperial mausoleums to be beautiful and majestic.
, fantasize about the immortal body, and dream about being resurrected one day, but who has really got the chance to return to the world?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded. Long Xuanen worked hard for the people and money to build this imperial mausoleum. The reason why Dakang's economy was in deep quagmire had to do with the fact that he built the imperial mausoleum regardless of the cost. He recruited workers across the country and died in vain because of the imperial mausoleum.
There were hundreds of thousands of workers, and there was deep resentment among the people. However, under such circumstances, he still persisted in building the imperial mausoleum. It seems that the imperial mausoleum has become Long Xuanen's spiritual support. (To be continued.)
