Chapter 8: The Night Thief's Spiritual Seat

The child's mother was frightened, and suddenly threw herself on the ground and shouted at Jing Beihou: "The child is still young, beg the father-in-law to spare his life!" ”

Jingbei Hou endured his anger all night, and as soon as he found an outlet, he naturally wouldn't be easily contained, and the empty futon on his side was lifted up: "Get out!" ”

The head of the family was angry, and everyone didn't dare to raise their heads for fear of being used as a punching bag, but quietly raised the corners of their eyes and waited for Hu Rong's instructions. Hu Rong got up slightly and waved his hand at the person behind him: "You guys go down first!" Seeing that the uncle had spoken, everyone had a score in their hearts, raised their heads and glanced at Jingbei Hou in fear, and then they all withdrew quietly and orderly.

After everyone went out, Jingbei Hou slowly calmed down, and asked his son a little weakly: "Hu Rong, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"The child thinks that this matter may not be as serious as his father thought," Hu Rong said with confidence when he saw that his father acquiesced to him expressing his opinions, "Although the eldest princess has a grudge against Linglong, but when it comes to the two Yuan Hu families, the Hu family has sacrificed their lives for the court for several generations, and the court should not forget the righteousness of the country because of the love of children." ”

"The Hu family has been fighting for Dahua all these years, the military power is in hand, and the merits are high, and there has been no fault that can be condemned, and it is inevitable that Your Majesty will feel a little uneasy. His Majesty may not really be as angry as it seems, but it just gives His Majesty an excuse to play on the topic. ”

"The father was demoted from the Duke of Zhenguo to the Marquis of Jingbei, and the official positions of the descendants of the Hu family were fluctuating in the court, which may have lost the emperor's favor in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of the son, it is the opposite."

"What do you mean by that?" The Hu family has always valued martial arts and light literature, Hu Rong is one of the few civil officials in the family, although he is the eldest son, Jingbei Hou has always felt that this son is embarrassed, but listening to his opinions tonight, I feel that I have a different insight.

"It's only a matter of time before Your Majesty weakens the Hu family's military power. There are many children and grandchildren of the Hu family, and it is inevitable that there will be a few who are not disciplined, and for the whole family, it is better to use the little sister's immorality as an excuse than to wait for the Hu family to really have children and grandchildren who rebel and then find an excuse to hurt less, if you really wait until that step, I am afraid that the ending of the Hu family will not be as peaceful as it is now. ”

"Go on...... "The Marquis of Jingbei is very good at the art of war, but his understanding of the king's mind is far less thorough than his own son.

"Parents cherish their children and tell them what to do before they make mistakes. Similarly, in my son's view, His Majesty relied on the Hu family to weaken our power and protect the Hu family before they made a mistake. ”

"Why haven't you said these words in years?"

"My son hasn't said it because of two reasons." Hu Rong sighed, "The descendants of the Hu family have been favored by the emperor for generations, and in my generation, there are many brothers who are pampered and proud, if you can use Your Majesty's hand to fight their arrogance, it is better than waiting for them to make mistakes and regret it; Again, the courtier guessed the king's thoughts, although the king liked it, but the courtiers guessed too much, I'm afraid they would ......" Hu Rong didn't say anything, but Jingbei Hou already understood what he meant.

Huangfu couldn't help but secretly admire his uncle's scheming when he hid in the dark at night, but unfortunately such a scheming could not be used by him, if the two armies really faced each other one day, I don't know if their nephews and uncles would fight their brains on the battlefield.

It's interesting to listen to my uncle's plans here, but I don't know when they will be willing to go out, and if they don't steal out of the spiritual position, I'm afraid they will be arrested tomorrow.

"And why are you saying it now?"

Hu Rong frowned, and pondered for a moment before replying: "Tonight, Your Majesty sent someone to pick up Linglong's spiritual seat to enter the palace to worship, and my son felt strange. If my son didn't guess wrong, I'm afraid it wasn't just because His Majesty didn't trust the Hu family enough, but also because the eldest princess and my nephew were about to go to the last step, and Your Majesty didn't dare to trust anyone anymore. ”

When Hu Rong said this, his face couldn't help but show a little smugness: "This kind of thing involves a lot, and maybe this is the best opportunity for the Hu family to regain the favor of the king!" ”

"If that's the case...... What people! "Jingbei Hou has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and his vigilance is naturally more sensitive than ordinary people. Huangfu Yehan was taken aback when he heard that his mother's spiritual position was removed, and he accidentally almost knocked over a potted plant, but because he shot in time, he didn't make much noise, but this sound was still heard by Jingbei Hou.

Now that he was discovered, he knew that he couldn't escape, so Huangfu Yehan simply stood up generously and arched his hand: "Grandpa, uncle, it's me!" ”

"Is that you?" Jingbei Hou glanced at Hu Rong, and looked at Huangfu Yehan vigilantly, "What is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doing in my Jingbei Hou Mansion?" ”

"The child has not seen his grandfather and uncle for a long time, so he came to visit. Also, I want to pay homage to my mother by the way. Huangfu's cold gaze took the opportunity to sweep the spiritual platform, and his mother's spiritual position was indeed no longer here.

"It's rare that Your Highness has this piece of filial piety and still thinks about the old man, but it's a pity that your mother's spiritual position is no longer here," knowing that he wouldn't have any good intentions when he visited late at night, Jingbei Hou didn't break it, "Since His Highness is here, why don't you stay in the mansion for a few days?" Hu Rong, it's almost dawn, go and ask the cook to prepare a good banquet for His Royal Highness......"

"Grandpa doesn't have to be busy! The main reason for the child's visit to Huadu this time is to follow the will of his father and queen mother and celebrate the birthday of His Majesty King Hua. The birthday is approaching, and since the grandfather and uncle are in good health, the child can go back to the hotel to prepare with confidence. Huangfu arched his hand in the cold night, "Grandfather, uncle, the child has said goodbye!" ”

"Since His Royal Highness still has important things to do, the old man is not good to stay long, and when the birthday banquet is over, please ask Your Highness to come and stay for a few days! Hu Rong, send it to His Highness! ”

"Your Highness, please!"

Huangfu followed Hu Rong all the way to the gate of the Hou Mansion with a cold heart, everything was going according to his plan, how could he not have imagined that there would be such a big twist and turn here, could it be that the killing of the prince's guard had been leaked, so that the Yuan family heard what rumors did they enter the palace in such a hurry?

"Uncle, you have loved me the most since I was a child, you tell the child the truth, is my mother really not in the Hou Mansion?"

Regardless of whether the two countries are hostile or not, after all, it is his own nephew, Hu Rong sighed: "Yehan, your mother was indeed taken to the palace, I don't know exactly where it is." If you really just want to worship her, you might as well go directly to Your Majesty, and maybe Your Majesty will let your mother and son meet. ”

"Your Majesty?" Huangfu snorted coldly in his heart, if King Hua could agree, how could he do everything possible to prevent him from meeting his mother! I'm afraid that as soon as he enters the palace, he will become a ghost under his knife before he can speak.
