Wu Jingshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, finally returned to Kangdu, and he only rushed back after receiving the exact news that Hu Xiaotian had been rewarded by the imperial court. For Wu Jingshan, he never thought of competing with Hu Xiaotian, and it was fortunate that he could survive this crisis safely, how could he dare to think about it, not to mention that during the period of their mission, the imperial power of Dakang changed, and the old emperor regained the authority of Dakang, which made Wu Jingshan panic all day long, you must know that he was the first to defect after Long Yelin took the throne, and he was the only one who retained his official position among the six Shangshu, although the old emperor had publicly declared that he was not guilty of what the officials of the court and China had done before, But how credible are the emperor's words?

However, judging from the old emperor's appearance since he returned to power, he does not seem to be in a hurry to rectify the official structure of the court, and no officials except Ji Feihua have been held accountable, which makes Wu Jingshan see some hope, and after getting Hu Xiaotian to be named the deputy commander of the imperial guard, Wu Jingshan finally made up his mind to return to Kangdu.

Wu Jingshan didn't even bother to go home when he returned to Kangdu, so he first went to Hu Mansion to visit Hu Xiaotian.

Hu Xiaotian heard that Wu Jingshan was returning and hurriedly greeted him, Wu Jingshan left Yongdu before Hu Xiaotian, and there were no twists and turns on the way back, but this does not mean that his heart is better, the heavy pressure on his mind made him obviously haggard a lot during this time, and the whole person looks abnormally old.

Hu Xiaotian saw Wu Jingshan's rickety figure appear in front of him, which one is stronger to read novels on his mobile phone? Mobile phone reading network, quickly greeted the past, three steps and two lines, clasped his fists and saluted: "Lord Wu, you really want to kill me!" ”

Wu Jingshan also looked very excited, and grabbed Hu Xiaotian's arm: "Brother Hu, the old man has been thinking about you day and night these days. ”

Hu Xiaotian laughed secretly in his heart, an old man is not too insensitive to say such things to me, a little fresh meat. Wu Jingshan was followed by Yan Fei and Zhao Chongwu, who were envoys this time. Hu Xiaotian's Zhiyong Shuangquan has already secretly admired these men, and now I heard that Hu Xiaotian, the eunuch, has always been pretending, and he endured humiliation and sneaked into the palace in order to collect evidence of Ji Feihua, and he admired him even more.

Zhao Chongwu, Yan Fei and others used to be from the Shence Mansion, but now Wen Boyuan is dead, and the three princes who formed the Shence Mansion behind him are also dead. The emperor banned the Shence Mansion again, and they had nowhere to go, and they had already made plans in their hearts, and from now on they would follow Hu Xiaotian to do things, and with Hu Xiaotian's mind and courage, they would not worry about following him without a future.

After Hu Xiaotian greeted the group, he asked Liang Dazhuang to arrange for the group of warriors to rest and eat first, and he and Wu Jingshan came to his study.

Wu Jingshan had a full stomach to say to Hu Xiaotian, and after the two sat down. The family of Hu Mansion sent fragrant tea, and in the past two days, I heard that Hu Mansion has returned to its original owner, and there are many family maids who have come back one after another, although it is not as good as the heyday of Hu Mansion, but it is not far away.

Wu Jingshan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and said, "Commander Hu, I wonder if my father has returned to the house?" "The old guy is not confused, he was a brother just now, but when he asked about Hu Buwei, he still called the official title good. In the past, when he was in the court, even Hu Buwei had to call him a good brother. Now he is a brother and brother to Hu Buwei's son, but he really admires Hu Xiaotian, and this mission made him see Hu Xiaotian's superhuman courage and wisdom, and this son will not be a thing in the pool in the future.

Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "My father's temperament is very stubborn, I have gone to ask him to come back, but he resolutely refused. only said that the emperor did not give an order, and he still lived in Shuijinger Hutong. ”

Wu Jingshan sighed: "Master Hu has indeed suffered a lot of grievances. ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Who of us who are courtiers has not been wronged? ”

Wu Jingshan nodded sympathetically, and said in a low voice: "What does Your Majesty say about the princess?" ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "I didn't say much, after all, this matter is beyond the scope of our duties, the original order given to me by the imperial court was for us to send Her Royal Highness Princess Anping to Yongdu safely." When we arrive at Dayong's territory, we can't control what happens, but fortunately, the emperor is reasonable, knowing that we have done our best, and also understanding that the responsibility is not on you and me, Lord Wu can only rest assured, His Majesty will not hold us responsible. ”

Although Wu Jingshan had already guessed, it was not as good as Hu Xiaotian to say it himself, so he was more relieved, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Hu, since I left Yongdu, my heart has always been uneasy, after hearing the bad news of the princess's murder, I didn't even think about it, and even had the idea of dying in my own right, but I later thought that even if I die, I have to die to understand, and I have to come back to see His Majesty." ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Now that I'm back, my majesty has also changed." ”

Wu Jingshan said: "I just don't know if His Majesty will blame me?" With Hu Xiaotian's words at the bottom, he no longer worried about Princess Anping's affairs, but began to worry about what he had done, after all, he was the first among the old ministers to support Long Yelin.

Hu Xiaotian knew what he was afraid of, and said with a smile: "Why should Lord Wu worry too much, since His Majesty returned to power, he doesn't seem to care about the affairs of the imperial court, and almost all matters have been handed over to the King of Yongyang to deal with on his behalf." ”

Wu Jingshan said: "Isn't it Princess Yongyang?" ”

Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I was as worried as you when I first came back this time, so I went to see King Yongyang first, but fortunately she treated me well." Hu Xiaotian's expression looked a little proud, in fact, this incident did not make him get carried away, and he made such an expression just to show Wu Jingshan. He just wanted to send a signal to Wu Jingshan that he had been reused by King Yongyang.

Wu Jingshan has been in the officialdom for many years, but he didn't understand what Hu Xiaotian meant, so he smiled more and more humbly: "Brother Hu, King Yongyang still hopes to say a few words for me." ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "There is no problem with this, Lord Wu and I have shared weal and thin, and this affection is incomparable to others." ”

Wu Jingshan nodded and said: "After this incident, the old man has already had a retreat in his heart, if the emperor does not condemn me this time, the old man also plans to return to his hometown, and he will write poems and write poems in the future, and spend the rest of his life with peace of mind." What he said was all true, with his age, he couldn't do much in his career, and he knew better what he had done during the previous change of imperial power, and he was worried that one day the old emperor would settle the score, or it would be better to retreat bravely, and maybe he could get away with it.

Hu Xiaotian said: "Although Lord Wu has this heart, but he may not be able to achieve his wish, I think it is better not to make these requests lightly now, so as not to be too careful, if he thinks that Lord Wu is unwilling to serve him, wouldn't it be troublesome?" ”

Wu Jingshan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after being reminded by Hu Xiaotian, he had been an official for so many years in vain, and he didn't even think of this layer, yes, although the old emperor doesn't pursue it now, it doesn't mean that he is willing to erase what happened in the past, the reason why he didn't rush to move this group of officials is to stabilize the current situation, and second, these officials do still have some surplus value.

Hu Xiaotian said: "Even Taishi Wen is in the middle of the court to assist the government, so why should Lord Wu worry about it." ”

Hearing the name of Wen Taishi, Wu Jingshan couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, the emperor is a pass, Wen Chenghuan is another pass, Wen Boyuan and they went on an envoy but died in the middle of the road, Wen Chenghuan will definitely not give up, maybe he will be angry with them because of this, Wu Jingshan said in a low voice: "The old man is hesitating, how should he explain Wen Boyuan's matter to the Taishi." ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "There is one thing you may not know, when I returned from Dayong, during my stay in Wuxing County, Admiral Zhao Dengyun of the Navy actually intended to murder me. ”

Wu Jingshan was shocked when he heard this, and said angrily: "This person is really hateful? How dare you murder Zhongliang! ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Fortunately, I saw through his treacherous plan in advance, I have no grudge with him in the past and no enmity in the near future, do you guess why he wants to harm me?" ”

"Why?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "He was entrusted by Master Wen to put me to death!" Because Master Wen blamed me for his son's death. Speaking of which, Hu Xiaotian deliberately glanced at Wu Jingshan. Since Wen Chenghuan can treat me like this, he can treat you like this, after all, there were two of them who were on the envoy with Wen Boyuan at that time.

Wu Jingshan said: "It's a little unreasonable for Master Wen to do this. ”

"Once hatred gets carried away, what is the reason?" Hu Xiaotian took a sip of the teacup and said: "You can't have the heart to hurt people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, although we haven't done anything to be sorry for Master Wen, but it's hard to guarantee that he doesn't treat us as enemies, and Lord Wu still needs to be more careful." ”

Wu Jingshan nodded: "Thank you brother for reminding me." ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Although Dakang has changed power frequently in recent years, the more this is the case, the more opportunities there are, what does Lord Wu think?" ”

Wu Jingshan heard that Hu Xiaotian was nodding himself, this kid is now on the arm of the King of Yongyang, the little girl of the King of Yongyang wants to gain a firm foothold in the court, I am afraid that she can't do it alone, if she wants to serve the public, she must unite some of the old courtiers in the court, is Hu Xiaotian's real intention to let himself join the King of Yongyang? Wu Jingshan was cunning and cunning, and immediately understood the meaning of Hu Xiaotian's words, and deliberately tested Hu Xiaotian: "If it is convenient for Brother Hu, can you arrange for me to meet with King Yongyang?" ”

Hu Xiaotian secretly praised this old guy for having enough brains, nodded and said: "I'm afraid that it will take a while, after the princess is buried, His Majesty asked me to accompany him to Tianlong Temple to fast and chant, and he will not be able to come back until a month at the earliest." ”

Wu Jingshan heard that he had the opportunity to be alone with the old emperor again, and he was secretly envious in his heart, with Hu Xiaotian's ability to speculate in the camp, it was very likely that he would be tied to the old emperor during this time, if he became a celebrity around the old emperor, the future of this guy would become more and more limitless.
