Five hundred and thirtieth eight chapters slip through the net(1/2)
Looking at his son-in-law, Cao Tian, Minister of the Ministry of War, he never imagined that his son-in-law would be She Qiqi's son.
In Cao Tian's view, it was impossible for Hu Fei to have any intersection with She Qiqi.
Because Hu Fei has been in his sight since he entered the official career, it can be said that he has no connection with She Qiqi's forces at all.
Therefore, when Hu Fei betrayed him, Cao Tian was extremely surprised.
He couldn't believe this fact.
But now, betrayal is already betrayal.
What puzzled Cao Tian was.
When did Hu Fei get involved with She Qiqi?
What was the reason that made Hu Fei join She Qiqi's school?
Logically speaking, the future of the royal family will be much higher if you always invest in She Qiqi's sect.
"Actually, the power of the Seventh Princess has already come into contact with the students before they enter the official career."
Hu Fei didn't have any reservations about his father-in-law.
Anyway, now, it is impossible for him, the Minister of War, to go to the court again.
The entire military department will be taken over by him, so there is no difference between telling him and not telling him.
Moreover, Hu Fei believed very much that even if he told his father-in-law all this, he would not tell these things to anyone, and his father-in-law would just pretend not to hear.
"Before I entered the official career, as you know, our family was very poor.
Our family was in a state of decline. At that time, my mother supported our family while my younger sister went to work outside.
In a situation like that of a student, let alone getting a reputation, it is extremely difficult even if you want to study.
Originally, I could still attend private schools outside, but when my sister got sick and had no money for medical treatment, I wanted to give up studying and work outside to relieve the pressure on my family.
Even if I am passionate, want to obtain fame, and want to serve the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters, how can I achieve this?
But at this time, two men came into contact with the student. They said that they were subordinates of the Seventh Princess. Seeing that I had certain potential, they wanted to sponsor me to study and let me get the honors.
In addition, they will also distribute a certain amount of silver to us every month to help us improve our lives.
They promised to cure my sister's disease.
I didn't ask any conditions at that time and just agreed.
Because for me at that time, it didn’t matter if I got the academic qualifications or anything like that.
As long as I can save my sister's illness, everything doesn't matter.
As for the conditions they mentioned, so what? Even if they ask me to sacrifice my life in exchange for my life, I am willing to do so.
But the subordinates of the Seventh Princess did not make things difficult for me.
They said that as long as I can do three things for Her Royal Highness the Princess in the future, that will be enough.
I promised them.
After that, they indeed distributed money to our family every month and sent famous doctors to treat my sister.
My sister's condition recovered quickly, and everything in my family improved. After that, I studied diligently and obtained academic honors.
After I passed the exam, I received the first letter from Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess.
According to the request of the letter, the first thing I was asked to do was to hide my identity as a subordinate of Her Highness the Seventh Princess, not to have any interaction with the Seventh Princess, and even to criticize the Seventh Princess to a certain extent.
In other words, the kind that punishes and scolds the Seventh Princess to death.
In fact, I don't quite understand the meaning of this.
But I believe that the seventh princess must have her reasons for doing this.
And as I gradually entered the court and understood the situation in the court, I understood.
In fact, I have become a secret chess piece of the Seventh Princess.
Although the seventh princess only asked me to do three things.
But in fact, the seventh princess saved my little sister, and it was also the seventh princess who fulfilled my dream.
If it were not for the Seventh Princess, then I, the student, would never be able to meet you, teacher, again.
Therefore, compared to the kindness you showed me, teacher, the kindness shown to me by Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess is like reincarnation.
When the Demon Emperor went to the front line to lead his own expedition, the student knew that soon, I would receive the second letter from Her Highness the Seventh Princess, which was the second thing Her Highness the Seventh Princess asked me to do.
Even regarding this matter, the students had vaguely guessed the content.
As expected, when I opened the envelope, Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess wanted me to take your place, teacher, and play my role in the rear.
But teacher, you are very kind to me. Students cannot take your life.
Otherwise, the student's conscience will be uneasy in this life.
So the student came up with a compromise, which is to let you, teacher, cultivate yourself in these few months, while the student will take charge of the Ministry of War on your behalf."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Fei knelt down on his knees and bowed heavily to Cao Tian again and again.
"The teacher's kindness to the students will never be forgotten by the students. After this incident is over, the students will come back to the teacher to receive their punishment.
Please rest assured, teacher, no matter what happens in the end? Teacher will definitely remain clear in the history books of future generations."
"Oh... Xiaofei, you brat..."
Cao Tian sighed helplessly and shook his head.
"Hu Fei, no matter what the final history books say, no matter what the final result is, I just want to ask you, when you did this, did it conform to your heart?
Are you loyal to the royal family, or are you loyal to She Qiqi?"
"Teacher, how do you feel about the world at this time?"
Hu Fei raised his head and asked his teacher.
Cao Tian frowned and did not answer Hu Fei's words. Instead, he looked at his student closely and said slowly:
"What about Hu Fei? What do you think of the current court situation?"
"Nowadays, the court is not very corrupt. As the founder of the country, the Demon Emperor is also very capable. In fact, the politics at this time can be considered enlightened.
In fact, if Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess does not rebel, then the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom will theoretically become stronger and stronger."
"In other words, Xiao Fei, you are only repaying the kindness of the Seventh Princess, and you do not support the Seventh Princess's decision?"
"No, even though the Demon King is very clever.
However, the students felt that the Seventh Princess's methods were far superior to the Demon Emperor's.
The Demon King relies on the power of the nobles.
Nowadays, the forces of the nobility control the court.
I believe you, teacher, also know that today’s people have suffered from those old aristocrats for a long time.
If those noble forces are not removed, it will be very difficult for the Ten Thousand Monsters Congress."
"Xiao Fei, how do you know the Demon Emperor won't do this?
Will Your Majesty sort out those aristocratic forces that hinder the progress of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom in the future?"
"Will not."
Hu Fei shook his head.
"The Demon Emperor, it is impossible for him to make a big move against those old nobles.
Most of them contributed to the founding of the country, and they have been closely united since then. Even His Majesty cannot completely cleanse these people. Severe diseases must be treated with heavy medicine.
Your Majesty cannot be cruel, nor can you be cruel, because Your Majesty is on the same side as them.
This can be seen from the abolition of human slavery.
At that time, under the promotion of all parties, they wanted to abolish the slavery system of the human race, prohibit the trafficking and killing of the human race, etc.
But, even if this ban is issued, how many people will comply with it?
Even the Demon King turned a blind eye.
Although the status of the human race has indeed improved a bit now.
But that's just a few.
It's just that those who can practice have a little bit of dignity.
And those ordinary people, they are not even as good as animals.
But teacher, don’t forget.
In the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters, humans account for almost 20% of the population.
And there are also top-notch human races among them.
We, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, and the World of Ten Thousand Laws will definitely have a battle.
