Chapter 111: Selling Himself to Bury His Father (Part II)

Compared with Li Tianheng, the powerful feudal official, Hu Buwei and others in the capital had a more tormented life, although the new monarch did not take action against them immediately after he succeeded to the throne, but they knew that it would not be too long before the raised butcher knife fell.

Although Hu Buwei goes to court on time every day, he only plays a human flesh set. After the new monarch succeeded to the throne, sure enough, he immediately used the former prince and master Zhou Ruiyuan as the left prime minister, and after Zhou Ruiyuan became an auxiliary, he naturally became the object of competition among officials in the court. Hu's fate is like a stormy boat in the vast sea, and it will be overturned by a sudden wave at any time.

The former close colleagues have now broken off contact, since the new monarch ascended the throne, he and the official Shangshu Shi Bubu have never been in contact again, both of them played a great role in Zhou Ruiyuan's demotion that year, and the situation is extremely similar. The current shape shì is extremely sensitive, and if you are not careful, you will be labeled as a party and a private business.

Hu Tianxiong has been gone for many days, but there is still no news of his son. Li Tianheng's self-reliance in Xichuan has become a fact, and the imperial court is preparing to crusade against the rebels. And Li Tianhengbu's message also came from Xichuan, accusing the eldest prince Long Yelin of plotting to usurp the throne, disobedience and unfilial piety, and killing his siblings...... It seems that a total of one hundred and eight crimes have been counted, and the text is said to be written by Zhou Wang Long Yefang himself.

Hu Buwei was most relieved of his son, and it was his decision to let his son go to Xichuan for training. This is a retreat he has prepared for the Hu family, thinking that if there is a change in the shape, at least his son will stay away from the core of the political storm, and he may be able to avoid the ripples. Now it seems that when the sky really changes, there is no corner in Dakang that can avoid the wind and waves. Regarding the latest news of his son, it was brought back by Liang Dazhuang, and Hu Buwei imagined all kinds of possibilities.

Qingyun, as a part of Xichuan, must have been affected by this storm of rebellion set off by the Li clan, and Li Tianheng already knew Hu Xiaotian's identity before the Li clan supported the army and stood on its own. That's why Hu Tianxiong brought this couplet to himself. With Li Tianheng's scheming, he would not have imagined the impact of this turmoil on him. Hu Buwei even thinks that Li Tianheng's decision to rebel has been brewing for a long time, if he really cares about his in-laws, even if he doesn't reveal his own style, he must destroy the marriage contract in advance, only in this way can the impact on the Hu family be reduced. And Li Tianheng didn't do it at all, not because he couldn't think of it, but because he didn't care about the life or death of the Hu family at all.

Maybe the son has fallen into the hands of Li Tianheng, although the Hu and Li families have a marriage contract first. But now that he seems to have lost his value, Xinjun will not reuse himself, and maybe he will kill himself. Hu Buwei thought sadly that if his son had been controlled by Li Tianheng, then his future fate would have a great relationship with his position in the future court, and if he lost power, his son would lose his last value in Li Tianheng's eyes. If he can still sit firmly in the position of the head of the household, then Li Tianheng will use his son as a hostage to blackmail himself into doing things for him.

Hu Buwei saw the shape shì very clearly. There is nothing possible about the latter. He only hopes that his son can escape from Qingyun before Li Tianheng makes a move, the ends of the earth, no matter where he goes, just don't return to the capital. In fact, it is not a happy thing to find a daughter from an ordinary family and live a peaceful life in peace, and people are not in such adversity. How can you have such a feeling?

Thinking of his son's heartless appearance, the corners of Hu Buwei's lips couldn't help but show a wry smile, if Hu is in trouble, what will be the future of this kid?

Liang Dazhuang's panicked shout sounded outside the door: "Master...... Master...... Big...... Big things are not good......"

Hu Buwei frowned, opened the door and walked out. Seeing Liang Dazhuang running over out of breath, he panted and said, "Master, ...... A lot of soldiers came outside, surrounding the Shangshu Mansion...... Fenced ......"

Hu Buwei nodded, the expression on his face was still unwavering, in fact, he had long expected that this day would come, and said calmly: "Open the gate, welcome them to come, pass on my orders, no matter what happens, no one is allowed to resist." ”

"Old man......"

"Go!" Hu Buwei shouted angrily.

Liang Dazhuang went in a panic.

Mrs. Hu Xu Fengyi also rushed to hear the news at this time, and exclaimed: "Master, what happened?" ”

Hu Buwei looked up at the sky, the sun was shining, the sky was high and the clouds were wide, today's weather was unprecedentedly good, he stroked his beard and smiled: "What should come will always come!" ”

Xu Fengyi grabbed his arm and said, "Master, no matter what happens, I will advance and retreat with you." ”

Hu Buwei pursed his lips, nodded slowly, and gently patted the back of his wife's hand, and at this time, a shrill shout came from outside the door: "The holy decree has arrived!" ”

Dressed in purple palace uniforms, Ji Feihua, the governor of the inner official and supervisor, accompanied by dozens of royal forest soldiers, entered the Shangshu Mansion.

Hu Buwei led his wife and a group of Hu family members to kneel.

Ji Feihua slowly unfolded the holy decree and recited sharply: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Hubu Shangshu Hu Buwei, as an official of the household department, is in charge of the court's finances, and should be a scholar, an example of the ministers, and set an example for future generations." Unexpectedly, he took advantage of his position, bent the law for bribes, deceived his superiors and subordinates, colluded with Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu to make Li Tianheng, confuse the public, plot to rebel, subvert Dakang, and immediately dismissed his post and handed over to the Criminal Department, his son Hu Xiaotian joined the rebel army, rebelled against the imperial court, and was dismissed from his post together. Chin this! ”

Hu Buwei knelt on the ground, his heart had sunk to the bottom, these crimes on the holy decree, no matter which one of them was enough to punish his nine clans, this time it was all difficult to spare.

Xu Fengyi said with tears in her eyes: "Wronged, our Hu family has been loyal for several generations, worked hard for the country, and worked hard, how can I have a rebellion, and I ask my father-in-law to learn from ......it."

Ji Feihua said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, you can go to the Criminal Department to say, the miscellaneous family just came to pass the decree, come and come!" locked Hu Buwei and his wife and escorted me to the criminal department! ”

Xu Fengyi said loudly: "Wait, our Hu family has the Danshu iron coupon given by the emperor, which of you dares to touch my master!" ”

Hu Buwei glanced at his wife again and again, this matter must not be said, and if it is said, it can only be a crime, and the Danshu Iron Coupon is not in Shangshu Mansion at all. In fact, he knew in his heart that if Xinjun was determined to punish himself, even if he took out the Danshu iron coupon, it would have no effect.

Ji Feihua said: "Danshu iron coupons, there is indeed such a thing, but I heard that your Hu family's Danshu iron coupons have long been lost in the fire, Hu Buwei, if you can get the Danshu iron coupons, you may be able to avoid death, if you can't get it, hehe...... That's a crime! ”

Hu Buwei sighed and said, "Father-in-law Ji, what you said is right, the Hu family's Danshu iron coupons have already been stolen. ”

"Sir!" Xu Fengyi burst into tears.

Hu Buwei slowly stood up and said: "Jun let the ministers die, the ministers can't not die, I believe that His Majesty will give Hu a certain innocence." ”

Hu Buwei and his wife were escorted to the prisoner car, sent to the criminal department, when the prisoner car drove out of the gate of Shangshu Mansion, Hu Buwei looked back, his eyes couldn't help but become moist, once the son of heaven and a courtier, the new monarch took office, and sure enough, he aimed the butcher knife at their gang first, he did not blame the new monarch for being ruthless, he has been an official for many years, he has long known the bloody cruelty of the government, if it is the crown prince Long Yeqing who ascends the throne this time, then the current Dakang will be a different scene. blamed himself for misjudging the shape at the beginning, but he didn't expect the eldest prince Long Yelin to be able to make a comeback and successfully win the throne.

Hu Buwei knew that he would definitely die this time, and Hu was afraid that no one would be spared, so he secretly said in his heart: "Xiaotian, let's go, go as far as possible, and never come back." ”

Among the crowd of onlookers who watched Hu Shi being arrested, a pair of eyes were already red, it was Hu Xiaotian after the change of appearance, he rushed back to Kangdu after all the hardships, but after all, he was still a step too late, seeing his parents being escorted away by the prison car, Hu Xiaotian wanted to rush out several times, but reason told him that rushing out at this time would not only be useless, but would fall into the control of the government like his parents.

Gao Yuan followed Hu Xiaotian's side, and vaguely guessed from Hu Xiaotian's red eyes and clenched fists that Hu Xiaotian had an extremely close relationship with the arrested Hu family, this child was very clever, and he never took the initiative to ask about things that Hu Xiaotian didn't say. On the side, he only used his hand to hold Hu Xiaotian's arm, and whispered: "Childe, let's go!" ”

Hu Xiaotian nodded, only then did he realize that he was too excited about what he was doing just now, and if he was seen by someone who cared about what he looked like just now, he would be suspicious, so he quietly withdrew from the crowd with Gao Yuan, came to a nearby tea stall and sat down, ordered two large bowls of tea, and thought of countermeasures while drinking tea silently. From the news I heard just now, we can know that my parents have been escorted to the Criminal Department for trial, if the crime of communicating with traitors and attempting to rebel is convicted, the Hu family will definitely punish the Nine Clans, although he has the Danshu Iron Coupon in his hand, but if he recklessly finds the Criminal Department like this, it is likely that it will not play its due role. There must be a figure with considerable weight who stands up to speak for his father, so that he can swing the true effect of the Danshu Iron Coupon.

But another problem is in front of Hu Xiaotian, although his father has several allies in the capital, almost all of these people who support the former prince are now in the period of liquidation. Now the situation of these people is not good, even those who have not yet been affected, they are afraid to avoid them one by one, how can they stand up for the Hu family? The world is hot and cold, and it is particularly vivid in the officialdom. Moreover, Hu Xiaotian is not familiar with his father's social circle, and only Xu Zhengying, the household servant, can remember, but I don't know if he has been affected by his father's affairs.
