When Hu Xiaotian heard the news was confirmed, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, this matter is not trivial, if the Danshu iron coupon is stolen, and this matter is related to Juan, then as long as the news leaks out, the current emperor will inevitably investigate it, if they are punished by the Hu family for the crime of bullying the king, it will inevitably be a full end of beheading. I said! I've only been alive for half a year, and I haven't even had time to marry my daughter-in-law, shouldn't it really be so miserable? If you really lose your head in such a daze, wouldn't it be completely wronged?

Hu Buwei said: "Juan, this brute, I treat him well, I can't imagine that he would eat inside and out and do such a degrading and immoral thing." ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Dad, the iron coupon of the Danshu was not handed down from the time of Mingzong, it has been so long, and it is almost a cultural relic, even if it is lost, it is not a big crime, it is better to simply make it clear to the current emperor, maybe you can get his understanding." ”

Hu Buwei slowly shook his head and said: "It may be okay to change it in the past, but now it is an extraordinary time, Your Majesty has been in poor health for the past two years, and he has become moody, and a small thing may anger him." Hu Buwei sighed secretly, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the emperor's mind is like the sky in June.

Hu Xiaotian said: "Dad, you have worked hard for Dakang Sheji, and the emperor also trusts you very much, he will not blame us for this trivial matter, not to mention that we did not intentionally lose this thing, but someone deliberately designed to frame it." ”

Hu Buwei said: "Recently, many people have slandered me in front of the emperor, and the emperor has alienated me a lot. It was the first time he had mentioned the affairs of the court in front of his son.

Hu Xiaotian's heart sank, since his father said this, it should not be wrong, it seems that he has gradually fallen out of favor in front of the emperor during this time, Hu Xiaotian has been familiar with history, and he has some understanding of the emperor's moodiness, even if he is a favorite minister in the eyes of the emperor, he is just like an ant, as long as he is unhappy, he can take the life of this ant at any time.

Hu Xiaotian said: "There are not many people who know about this!" ”

Hu Buwei said: "Juan has been in our mansion for decades, I want to treat him well, I don't know why he betrayed me, but I know that he must have a plan for stealing the Danshu iron coupon." ”

Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "If he wanted to use this matter to harm our Hu family, maybe he would have spread this news a long time ago, and he didn't have to wait until now." In my opinion, he is trying to use this Danshu iron coupon to blackmail us, and Juan must have someone else behind him. ”

Hu Buwei deeply agreed with his son's analysis, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that his son's mind had indeed returned to normal, and could even be called thoughtful, and Hu Buwei felt a little comforted by this. As his son said, there must be someone else behind Juan's back. Hu Buwei firmly believed that Juan must have been coerced or lured by someone before he betrayed himself and the Hu family.

Hu Xiaotian said: "It seems that the Danshu Iron Coupon should be a card in their hands, and they will never use it until the last resort, so we are still safe for the time being." ”

Hu Buwei nodded slowly, although his son's analysis was very reasonable, but it was always a hidden danger that this Danshu iron coupon could not be recovered. Before the other party makes a move, he still has time to respond. He whispered, "You told me what happened last night. ”

Hu Xiaotian then told the story of last night's life from beginning to end, saying that the two snitches struck east and west, attracting the attention of the Hu family, and set fire to Ji Yaxuan, because of Juan's betrayal, Hu Xiaotian looked back at this matter today and had a new inference, he pushed open the window and looked at the ruins of Ji Yaxuan not far away, and said: "At this time, I remembered that Juan was not present when he caught the snitch, he should have taken advantage of the chaos to steal the Danshu iron coupon, and then secretly set it on fire, Because everyone's attention was all on the two snitches, he took it in stride. ”

Hu Buwei said: "After he succeeded, he deliberately leaked the secret of this matter to you, and took the opportunity to go to the Eastern Capital to inform me to escape, this old thing has been hidden by my side for so many years, even I didn't show his wolf ambitions, and actually dared to collude with outsiders to frame me." Hu Buwei gritted his teeth in anger, if Juan appeared in front of him at this moment, he would definitely cut this person with a thousand knives to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Hu Xiaotian suddenly said again: "No! ”

Hu Buwei was surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "If those two snitches colluded with him, but those two snitches didn't know anything about him, the person they confessed was called Zhao Zhenghao, when I and the arresters of Jingzhao Mansion went to Dao Street to find Zhao Zhenghao's whereabouts, it was a trap, and their purpose was to kill me!" Thinking of the scene at that time, Hu Xiaotian still had palpitations, if it wasn't for Murong Feiyan's desperate rescue at that time, I am afraid that he would have died under Mo Shaolin's arrow.

Although Hu Buwei did not witness the assassination of Hu Xiaotian at that time, he is still afraid now, he only has one son, if he dies so inexplicably, where will he buy regret medicine.

Hu Buwei patted his son's shoulder and said with concern: "Are you injured?" ”

Hu Xiaotian shook his head: "Fortunately, my luck is not bad." ”

Hu Buwei said: "A person can't always have good luck. Almost instantly, he made an important decision: "Tian'er, I have an idea for my father, I don't know what you think?" ”

Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Then you have to let me know what is going on?" ”

Hu Buwei closed the flower window and said in a low voice: "The emperor's body is not as good as day by day, I see that it is not far from the day of succession, and it will not be peaceful every time the throne is handed over. Hu Buwei paused and said: "I am in the court, it is difficult to ensure that I am not affected by this storm, I am old, even if there is really any disaster that befalls me, even if it takes my net worth, my father will never frown, but I still have the biggest concern in my heart, that is, you ......" Hu Buwei said this sincerely, and his true feelings were revealed.

Although Hu Xiaotian was extremely unhappy with his arranged marriage, he was inevitably moved when he saw him care so much about himself, father and son were connected, blood was thicker than water, and Hu Buwei's concern for his biological son must be from the heart.

Hu Buwei said: "Actually, two days ago, I had the idea of letting you leave Beijing as an official. ”

When Hu Xiaotian heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, going out as an official, wouldn't he let himself leave the capital, which meant that he could live a life where the sea was wide and the sky was high and the birds could fly. Although this guy was happy in his heart, he pretended to be reluctant on the surface: "The child is reluctant to leave his father." ”

Hu Buwei said: "Dad can't take care of you for a lifetime, one day, you will be alone." "Let the son stay away from the capital and release the idea of being an official has been a long time, Hu Buwei has long expected that during this period of the alternation of the throne, the capital will definitely set off an unprecedented violent storm, although the crown prince has already passed to the sixth prince Long Yeqing, but a group of old courtiers in the court are extremely dissatisfied with this, many people are plotting to hold the eldest prince Long Yelin out of the mountain, this time accompanied the emperor to the eastern capital, Hu Buwei quietly probed the emperor's tone, the old emperor seemed to abolish the eldest son Long Yelin's crown prince remorse.

After following the emperor for so many years, I also know some of his temper, the older he gets, the more moody he is, turning his face is faster than turning a book, don't look at Long Yeqing is still the prince now, maybe one day the old emperor will come up, and he will let other sons take his place, anyway, this old guy has no shortage of sons, and he has sown countless seeds in his life, and there are twenty-seven princes alone, and only one is missing to make up twenty-eight nights.

The reason why Hu Buwei was able to go through two generations of kings, and his position in the court was as stable as Mount Tai, and his mature way of being an official has a direct relationship, although he has made all kinds of preparations, but now the closer to the handover of the old and new emperors, the more worried this heart is, if there is a change in this palace, when it will be affected by their officials in the capital, the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier. No one can guarantee that they will still be able to be reused after the new emperor ascends the throne.

On the occasion of such an eventful autumn, there was the theft of Danshu iron coupons, which made Hu Buwei have to think about it. The marriage with the Li family is just one of his moves, and whether this move can be successful and clever depends entirely on whether the crown prince Long Yeqing can inherit the throne smoothly. Before going to the Eastern Capital, Hu Buwei always thought that there would be no change in the matter of the throne, but the words that the old emperor inadvertently revealed made him lose the certainty of the past, Hu Buwei even began to think about whether he should bet all the treasures on Long Yeqing alone?

A mature politician needs to know how to take precautions, Hu Buwei has been making arrangements in an inconspicuous manner, but the sudden loss of Danshu iron coupons disrupted the rhythm of his layout, and Hu Buwei's old spicy and city government couldn't help but feel a little caught off guard.

It was this incident that prompted Hu Buwei to make up his mind to let his son leave the capital, a place of right and wrong, away from the upcoming political storm.
