Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 275: Leaning on the Smoked Cage and Sitting Until the Ming Dynasty
Gu Zhili smiled coldly and immediately sneered: "You countries give us some specialties every year, but you want Beiyu to take care of everything! Do you know that war costs money, and money costs taxes! In order to make yourselves
Is it fair that if we want the people of Beiyu to live a good life, we must squeeze the people of Beiyu?"
Hu Qi glared angrily and spoke righteously: "I dare to ask this gentleman, why are the rebellious ministers and traitors so disrespectful of Beiyu! Can you guarantee that they will not attack Beiyu with force?"
Gu Zhili held his head high and snorted disdainfully: "Huh! You're just in a small place, how can you have the courage!"
Hu Qi ignored Gu Zhili and turned to give a deep salute to Emperor Yu: "Your Majesty, your Majesty! Don't wait until the rebellious ministers and traitors have full wings and then turn their heads against Bei Yu. It will be too late!"
"But who can prove your identity now?" Gu Zhili suddenly fixed his gaze with a sly look: "If you are not Prince Annan, but a person sent by the enemy country to sow discord, wouldn't Beiyu be fooled if he hastily sent troops?"
Hu Qi's face darkened and he asked solemnly: "How do you think you can prove my identity?"
Gu Zhili put his hands in his hands and chuckled: "I have to ask you this question! How can we prove that you are Prince Annan?"
Hu Qiyi was speechless for a moment.
From the time a few people argued to now, Emperor Yu's face has not changed at all.
He pondered for a moment, looked at the calm Xia Yunqing, and asked: "Xia Shoufu, what do you think about this matter?"
This time when Xia Yunqing was reinstated, it seemed that she had changed a lot.
In the past, when he encountered the same situation, he would definitely take the lead, express his thoughts regardless of the situation, and criticize all those who disagreed.
His fierce words and tough attitude conquered many courtiers, including Emperor Yu.
But since he experienced this, his attitude seems to be no longer tough, and he rarely takes the initiative to speak out.
Some people may think that he is playing tricks, and there must be a bigger conspiracy waiting behind him.
Some people also believe that this demotion made Xia Yunqing have a better memory and began to learn to curb her arrogance.
But no one could have thought that maybe it was just the flame in Xia Yunqing's heart that wasn't as burning as before.
I saw him walking out with a wat tablet in hand, bowing deeply and saying: "Your Majesty, I have been getting along with Hu Qi for several months by chance! He is pure and innocent in nature, and he is not a treacherous person or a liar.
However, I have indeed never heard him talk about his life experience! Therefore, I dare not lie about this matter! At present, I think it is better to place Hu Qi in Zhanyun Pavilion first, and His Majesty personally writes a letter to the Lord of Annan.
Find out whether it’s true or false, and then discuss it!”
Wang Su suddenly sneered from the side and said: "Oh, one is a traitor and the other is a clown! Neither of them is telling the truth. What if a mere letter cannot be tested to be true or false?"
Xia Yunqing's face did not change, and he said calmly: "That's easy to handle! On the day of the great dynasty meeting, envoys from various countries will come to pay tribute. When the time comes, let Hu Qi and Annan's envoys confront each other, and they can also test whether it is true or false.
"
Gu Zhili laughed from the other side: "I'm afraid that Envoy Annan will die unexpectedly again by then!"
Xia Yunqing finally straightened his face and snorted coldly: "Annan's delegation came to congratulate as many as a hundred people. No matter how capable Hu Qi was, he couldn't have silenced hundreds of people. Besides, if the entire delegation was really silenced,
, Your Majesty doesn’t need to ask any more questions, just take down Hu Qi!”
Hu Qi immediately bowed his hands and echoed loudly: "As long as I can prove my innocence, I am willing to do anything!"
Emperor Yu thought for a moment before nodding: "I think what Xia Aiqing said is absolutely true! In this case, I will temporarily place Hu Qi in the Zhanyun Pavilion. We will make a decision after the two sides face each other on the day of the meeting!"
Hu Qi cried with joy, immediately lifted up his robe, knelt down, and kowtowed repeatedly.
The court dispersed early in the morning, and after Emperor Yu left Wende Hall, all the civil and military ministers dispersed one by one.
Hu Qi quickly caught up with Xia Yunqing and bowed gratefully: "Master Chief Assistant, please stay! I just thanked Master Xia for speaking for me!"
Xia Yunqing stopped and nodded lightly: "I'm just trying my best! Don't rush Annan's affairs! You have to wait until the emperor completely trusts you!"
Hu Qi let out a long sigh: "I have escaped death several times during these days, just to save Annan and Shuihuo. Unexpectedly, I finally met the emperor, but there were still twists and turns. It seems that the road ahead is long."
Xia Yunqing smiled slightly and said: "Sending troops to conquer is indeed a big deal. If you push too hard, it will be counterproductive. It is better to go to Zhanyun Pavilion to settle down temporarily. After all the truth is revealed, the emperor will make his own conclusion."
At this point, Hu Qi could only hand it over again: "I understand what Mr. Chief Assistant said. When I get settled, I will definitely go and visit you!"
After saying that, Hu Qi leaned forward and watched Xia Yunqing leave.
Not long after Xia Yunqing walked out, he was blocked by Wang Su.
When old enemies meet again, it's natural that they don't have a good temper towards each other.
Especially Wang Su, who linked his demotion to Xia Yunqing's promotion.
Thinking back to all these years, no matter what I did, Xia Yunqing always suppressed me, and the anger in my heart became even stronger.
"I didn't expect that even after the Chief Assistant was demoted, he would meet Prince Annan by accident! But I would like to advise the Chief Assistant: Don't get too close to this kid.
Be careful if you trust the wrong person, your position as Chief Assistant will not be secure!"
It was obvious that the person was not kind, and Xia Yunqing was not polite.
"It's not Mr. Wang's turn to worry about whether my position as first assistant is stable or not! But Mr. Wang is in a worrying situation right now. If you make any mistakes now, you may lose the position of second assistant!"
Based on his understanding of Wang Su, this sentence hit the nail on the head.
Wang Su suddenly changed his face and said angrily: "As long as the Holy One trusts me, no matter how powerful you are, you can't drive me away! So, I have nothing to worry about!"
Xia Yunqing stroked his long beard, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "This world is really ridiculous! I am such a person who is incompatible with the world, but I have been the chief minister for so many years. And you, the emperor's confidant, have only been a few years.
They were removed within a few months! It seems that our Holy Master knows who is loyal and who is traitorous!"
"You!" Wang Su was so angry that he glared at Xia Yunqing and said pitifully: "Ha! Xia Shoufu, we have a long way to go! I want to see whether the one who survives in the end is a loyal or a traitor! To be honest,
This position of chief assistant is really not rare for me! Because no matter what position I hold, my words are more useful to the emperor than yours!"
Xia Yunqing smiled nonchalantly: "Since Mr. Cifu said so, let's just wait and see!"
After that, Xia Yunqing waved his sleeves and walked away without even looking at him.
----------------------------------------
Zhanyun Pavilion is a post specially used by Beiyu to receive envoys from Annan. The accommodation rooms, the servants and the food are all specially arranged according to the habits of Annan people, so that they will not let those who come from afar.
What's wrong with the envoy?
It is not far from the Imperial Palace and the Imperial Guard, and is also very close to the most prosperous areas of Shengjing. It is not only convenient for envoys to visit the palace, but also allows them to take a look at the prosperous scenery of Beiyu in their spare time.
It was almost evening when Ruan Lang took the people from the Royal Guards Department to help Hu Qi settle down.
However, the people from Yushousi stood guard outside the door and did not leave.
Seeing this, Hu Qi quickly stopped Ruan Lang and asked in confusion: "Master Commander, what do you mean by this? Does... the emperor want to put me under house arrest?"
Ruan Lang gave him his hand and explained: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Emperor has no such intention! These government servants are just here to take care of your safety. After all, what happened to Lord Pei just happened, and His Majesty did this out of good intentions! Don't worry,
Your daily life and access will not be affected, so you don’t have to worry about these people at the door!"
Hu Qi smiled coldly and returned the favor with his hands raised: "In that case, I would like to thank you for your kindness! I must have the famous Imperial Guard guarding the door for me. Anyone who wants to harm me will not dare to come in!"
Ruan Lang smiled faintly and raised his hand towards Hu Qiyi: "Then, Your Majesty, please have a good rest! I will bid farewell to my humble post! If you have any needs, just ask the people here! They are all from Annan and can be dispatched at any time."
As the heir to the throne, Hu Qi was naturally filled with anger when he was treated like this.
But even though he was under the roof, he had to choose to be patient.
Although it is now the end of the year, it is not the time for various countries to make offerings. Therefore, only Hu Qi lives in Zhanyun Pavilion.
He wanted to take a look at Pei Xinyin's room, but when he passed by the door, he found two guards standing guard there to prevent anyone from approaching, so he had to give up.
He immediately changed direction and walked towards the atrium.
Along the way, the maids who passed by him were stunned for a moment, and then they ran away with their faces covered in shyness.
Hu Qi didn't react at all to this. He had long been used to women losing their composure after seeing his appearance.
In the courtyard at dusk, the slender moon is in the sky and the red sun fills the windows. The plum blossoms bloom alone, but no one cares.
Hu Qixin walked to the atrium, stood under the plum tree, looked at the magnificent glow in the sky, took out a pure white jade flute, and started playing it gently.
The sound of the flute was mournful, like weeping and complaining. It echoed in the sky above Zhanyun Pavilion and refused to disperse for a long time.
The maids in the Zhanyun Pavilion stopped in the corridor, looking at the young man with beautiful features and beautiful features among the thousands of red plums.
Everyone who comes here is immersed in the sound of his flute and cannot extricate themselves for a long time.
Suddenly, a crisp burst of applause sounded from the corner, interrupting the heavenly sound.
Everyone looked around and saw a pretty girl in red clothes with a sweet smile at the end of the corridor.
Hu Qi put down the flute and forgot about the past. His face suddenly became happy: "Xiaolu, why are you here?"
Lu Ning walked towards him with a faint smile: "Sure enough, wherever there is Xiaoqi, there is wonderful music! Look, everyone in the Zhanyun Pavilion will be drunk for you!"
Hu Qi raised her hand to sweep away the fallen snow on her body, and said softly: "I will only take one scoop of the three thousand weak water. I only care, is the little deer infatuated with me?"
Lu Ning's pink cheeks turned red and she said calmly: "Isn't it enough that so many people are fascinated by you? You are too greedy."
Hu Qi led her to sit down in the corridor, took the warm wine from the small red clay stove, warmed the cup first, then poured her a glass of wine, and then asked: "Why are you here suddenly? I still want to
I’ll meet you at the Zhuang Building later.”
Lu Ning took a sip and suddenly felt his limbs feel warm.jj.br
She put down her wine glass and sighed softly: "Is everything going well today? I heard that Mr. Pei died suddenly, so I came here to see what happened?"
Hu Qi slowly drank the wine in the glass and spoke in a low voice: "Hey, I really didn't expect that when I just arrived in Shengjing and before I even met Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei passed away suddenly. I am the same now.
I was overwhelmed and at a loss for a moment..."
Seeing his pale face, Lu Ning naturally guessed that things were not going well: "Now that Mr. Pei has passed away, no one can confirm your identity. What does the emperor say? Is he willing to believe you? Will he send troops to help Annan?"
"Xiaolu, do you believe me?" Hu Qi suddenly raised his head and looked at her with full eyes.
