Hu Xiaotian came to Princess Yongyang's mansion as soon as he learned that Xue Shengkang had died, Qiqi did not go to court today, since she acted as the government of the court, she had never been absent from any court meeting, and Long Xuanen broke up unhappily because of the separation, Qiqi Fang realized that he was just a tool used by him.

Qiqi also just received the news of Xue Shengkang's death, no matter what, this is good news for Dakang, seeing Hu Xiaotian come to the door, Qiqi guessed that nine times out of ten it had something to do with this matter, he glanced at his face and said, "You are finally willing to come back." ”

Hu Xiaotian hugged his fists and said: "Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess!" ”

Qiqi said: "Xue Shengkang's death is not a big event, he still has so many sons, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not regain the idea of southern invasion after the new monarch ascends the throne." ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "No matter what, Dayong's internal chaos will be chaotic for a long time, and Dakang can get a chance to breathe." ”

"Internal and external troubles, even if the external troubles are alleviated, but the internal troubles are still there, His Majesty vetoed my proposal, thinking that the idea of dividing the princes is ill-intentioned." Speaking of this, Qiqiyi's beautiful eyes stared at Hu Xiaotian coldly, after all, he came up with the idea.

Hu Xiaotian said: "It seems that His Majesty doesn't care about the survival of Dakang at all, he said before that he would let the princess be in charge of the government, but now he has intervened, and His Majesty's Chrysostom can also be reversed." ”

Qiqi said: "What do you have in mind?" ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "If you want to save Dakang, you can only really grasp the power of the court, and the emperor will not let the princess get her wish if he reigns for a day." ”

Qiqi raised his eyebrows and reprimanded angrily: "Bold fanatics, dare to bewitch me to be unfavorable to His Majesty!" ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "I haven't said it yet, how does the princess know that I want to persuade you to be unfavorable to His Majesty?" Unless that's what you think in your own heart. ”

Qiqi bit his lip and said, "This kind of thing can't be said nonsense, if it is known by outsiders." Not only will you be unlucky, but even I will be affected. ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "It turns out that the princess understands in her heart that our fate has been linked. ”

Qiqi sighed and said, "I just realize now that I can't do anything about Dakang's predicament. ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "The most fundamental solution is to let the old people stand aside. The old man in his mouth is of course the old emperor Long Xuanen.

Qiqi said: "It's easy to say, but how easy is it to solve this problem now?" Hong Beimo firmly controls the Tianji Bureau and the Yulin Army in his hands, and we don't have the strength to compete with him at all. ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Why don't the princess leave the capital, a place of right and wrong." Looking for another development? ”

Qiqi was about to ask what he meant, when Quan De'an hurriedly walked in from outside, and said with a nervous expression: "Your Highness, the emperor summoned you and Commander Hu to enter the palace immediately." ”

Hu Xiaotian was a little stunned, after all, he had already resigned from his official position, and his current identity was a cloth cloth, what did the old emperor do in the past? Nine times out of ten, it may be because of his future identity as a colt, but how did the old emperor know that he was here in Qiqi? It seems that he must have planted eyeliner near the princess's mansion.

Qiqi also felt a little strange, and said softly: "You go and shave off your beard." Accompany me into the palace to face the saint. ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "That's fine." ”

Qiqi glanced at him and said, "How do you look at it, it's not pleasing to the eye!" ”

Hu Xiaotian laughed secretly in her heart, how could the beard grow on her face hinder her eyes, and replied: "Then don't look at it." ”

Long Xuanen met the two of them in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the news of Emperor Dayong's death made Long Xuanen feel very good, and the expression on his face was also beaming.

Hu Xiaotian saluted him and said: "Hu Xiaotian, a grass people, knocks to see His Majesty, long live, long live, long live." ”

"Flat!"

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

Long Xuanen squinted his eyes and looked at Hu Xiaotian, and he felt novel when he saw the thick mustache on this guy's face, and then saw that he was still dressed in black. Fang Cai remembered that Hu Xiaotian was still in the mourning period, nodded and said, "Are you done with things at home?" ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm done." Thank you for your concern. ”

Long Xuanen said: "You are my future grandchildren's son-in-law, and I should care about you." He asked the palace people to give him a seat, and Hu Xiaotian and Qiqi sat down side by side.

Qiqi said: "I don't know what His Majesty summoned us to the palace for?" ”

Long Xuanen said: "I believe you have heard about the death of Emperor Dayong?" ”

Qiqi nodded and said, "I just received the news this morning." ”

Long Xuanen smiled and said: "It seems that God still blesses me Dakang, Dayong Jing, this incident, the change of power in the country, will definitely face a change." ”

Hu Xiaotian complimented: "The emperor is blessed with all the heavens." It's really gratifying. ”

Qiqi said: "Compared with external troubles, internal worries are more worrying, if the domestic situation is not improved, even if you can get a short period of respite, but you can't eradicate hidden dangers." ”

Long Xuanen nodded and said, "I thought about it last night. Thinking of your mention yesterday, I am really a little strict with you, during this time, I have seen all your hard work, you are heartbroken for Dakang, and the matter of dividing the seal is also to help Dakang get out of the predicament. ”

Qiqi's heart moved, listening to his tone, he should have been dissipated, could it be that he had already agreed with the construction of the feudal princes?

Long Xuan'en said: "But the family business passed down from the ancestors can not be distributed to outsiders for no reason, whether the method you proposed is feasible is not clear, I am going to find a place to try first, if it can get results, I will gradually implement this method, what do you think?" ”

Qiqi said: "Your Majesty is wise." I couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in my heart, but I didn't know where Long Xuanen was going to test the waters? And who will test the waters?

Long Xuanen said: "I am ready to start from Dongliang County, Hu Xiaotian, are you willing to share your worries and solve problems for Dakang?" ”

Hu Xiaotian can hardly believe his ears, Long Xuanen actually gave Dongliang County to himself, the old emperor is definitely not well-intentioned, Dongliang County is because of the death of Princess Anping, Dayong as compensation to Dakang a city, located in the north of the Yongjiang River, surrounded by Dayong's land on three sides, only the south faces the river, although Dakang got this city, but did not dare to send a garrison at all, but symbolically sent a few officials to take over, and Dongliang County returned to Dakang, the people's living standards plummeted, Most of the wealthy families in the city chose to move into the territory of Dayong.

In fact, Dakang Junchen understands that sooner or later this Dongliang County will be taken back by Dayong, as long as Emperor Dayong makes a request, Long Xuanen will definitely not even frown, and will return Dongliang County's hands.

Although Hu Xiaotian knew that Long Xuanen was not well-intentioned, but he was very happy in his heart, the old emperor was letting the tiger return to the mountain, and he finally had a fair and honest excuse to leave Kangdu, Dongliang County was like a chicken rib to Long Xuanen, but it became a place for him to take root and develop based on himself, Hu Xiaotian said: "The grass people are willing, but ......" The heart is happy, and he still pretends to be quite embarrassed on the surface.

Long Xuanen said: "But what? The reason why Dongliang County was able to return to Dakang is also your share of credit, I gave Dongliang County to Qiqi as her fiefdom, you are her fiancé, are you willing to take care of Dongliang County on her behalf? ”

Qiqi understood what Long Xuanen meant, on the surface, Dongliang County was given to him as a fiefdom, but in fact, he wanted to leave himself in the capital, but let Hu Xiaotian go to Dongliang County to take care of a qiē, Dongliang County has been nominally assigned to Dakang, but in fact, the people's hearts are all on the side of Dayong, if the two countries break out in war, the first thing that will be affected will be Dongliang County, Long Xuanen made such an arrangement can really be described as ill-intentioned.

Hu Xiaotian said: "The minister is willing!" ”

Long Xuanen said: "Looking at your expression, it seems that you are a little reluctant." ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "The minister is worried that he will have a negative trust. ”

Long Xuanen said: "I didn't want to give you this opportunity, your father betrayed my trust, and took my fleet and sailors without a trace. But after all, I personally set up a family affair for the two of you, for the sake of Qiqi, I will give you another chance to prove yourself, if you can take care of Dongliang County, first, you can help Dakang share your worries, and secondly, you can also block the mouth of Youyou, so that the ministers can see your ability. ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "The minister understands. ”

Long Xuanen said: "Dongliang County is the northernmost city of Dakang, it can be described as an outpost, because of the sensitive location, so there are not too many soldiers and horses stationed, you go there, first, you have to be responsible for helping to find out the movements of Dayong, if there is any trouble, report to the imperial court in time, and second, you must stabilize the hearts of the people there, so that they can truly realize that Dakang is their home." ”

Hu Xiaotian bowed and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Long Xuanen waved his hand and said, "You go out first, I still have a few words I want to say to Qiqi alone." ”

Hu Xiaotian respectfully withdrew.

Qiqi waited until Hu Xiaotian left, and said with a cold expression: "Your Majesty's arrangement is really painstaking. "The intention of transferring Hu Xiaotian out of Beijing is not to cut off his right-hand man, if Hu Xiaotian leaves, won't his Shence Mansion become an empty shelf.

Long Xuanen said: "Qiqi, the reason why I arranged it this way is also to obey your Jianyi, if Hu Xiaotian has the ability to govern Dongliang County well, it proves that your Jianyi is feasible, if he doesn't have this ability, it can not only prove that your Jianyi is not feasible, but also prove that he is not qualified to be a colt in the future of Dakang." ”

Qiqi was stunned in his heart, could it be that Long Xuanen wanted to repent of his marriage? She said in a low voice: "Since Dongliang County is a fief for me, then I will also go to Dongliang County." ”

Long Xuanen smiled and said, "You haven't married him yet, how can you go there?" Besides, there are so many things in the court, if you leave, who else can help me solve my worries? ”

Qiqi said: "I see that His Majesty is healthy, and he doesn't need my help at all." ”

Long Xuanen said: "In my heart, the one who hurts the most is always you, I was too strict with you last night, I promised you that I will never treat you like this in the future, you must not be angry with me." "There is only Qiqi who can make him, the king of a country, so pleasant. (To be continued......)
