Chapter Two Thousand and Thirty-One: True Intent
Bianyue nodded, and before closing her eyes, she saw Hongli's black sleeves, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that the prince's clothes are going to be destroyed in the hands of the concubine." ”
Hongli smiled slightly and said, "It's just a piece of clothing, don't worry about it, go to sleep." ”
"Hmm." In fact, after talking for so long, the moon has long been tired, and it is only now that she wants to talk to Hongli for a while, and now she is relieved, and she will soon fall asleep.
After she fell asleep, Hongli left the Tai Hospital and walked to the Heart Cultivation Palace, although he knew that it was okay, but he had to see it with his own eyes to rest assured.
When I arrived at the Yangxin Palace, I didn't see Yinzhen, but I accidentally met Yunxiang, holding the hands of the palace people and walking hard and slowly, Hongli saw this and hurriedly went up to help him, "Uncle Thirteen, why did you enter the palace?" ”
Yunxiang coughed and said: "There is such a big thing in the palace, how can I not come and take a look, fortunately, everything is expected by the emperor, and there is no big mess." ”
After helping him into the side hall and sitting down, Hongli hesitated and said, "Thirteenth uncle, do you know Huang Ama's plan?" ”
"Well, I know it, in fact, the emperor has long suspected the second elder brother, I pretended to be sick, and asked you to act in that play, just to make the second elder brother believe that the Fengtai camp has indeed fallen into his hands, so that he can wait until he makes a move. But no one thought that the second elder brother would suddenly be so crazy, how about it, are you okay? "What happened in the palace, Yunxiang had inquired carefully before, and naturally knew that when Hongshi's plan failed, he wanted to drag Hongli to die together.
"Uncle Thirteen saw that I could walk and jump now and knew that it was okay, thanks to the moon that blocked a knife for me." Hongli's words surprised Yunxiang, and he nodded slowly for a long time: "In this way, she is a little sincere to you, since this is the case, you should treat her well in the future, don't treat her poorly because of her surname." ”
After Hongli nodded, Yunxiang slowly narrated all of Yinzhen's plans, in order to avoid leaking secrets, the only one who knew the whole thing was him except Yinzhen, and now with the past, it is no longer a secret.
When he heard a certain place, Hongli couldn't help but exclaim: "What, even the defeat of Uncle Seventeen was arranged by Huang Ama?" ”
Yun Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, all this qiē is to deceive the second elder brother and make him think that all the qiē is under control." ”
"I understand what Uncle Thirteen said, but ......" Hongli hesitated: "Will the price be too great, I have read Uncle Seventeen's report, thousands of people were killed and injured, and they are all lives!" ”
"Fourth elder brother, in your opinion, shouldn't a battle even kill and wound thousands of people?" In the face of Yun Xiang's words, Hongli shook his head again and again and said: "I didn't mean that, when the battle was fighting, it was inevitable that there were thousands of people, even if it was tens of thousands of casualties, but this time it was different, those people could have not died, but because of a layout, they were sent to death in vain." ”
Yunxiang didn't rush to explain, but asked again: "Then what do you think of Geerdan's personality and how to use soldiers?" ”
Hongli thought carefully for a moment and said: "Although I have not fought with Geldan, I have heard a lot, this person is insidious and cunning, scheming, and extremely difficult to deal with; As for the use of troops, the Qing Dynasty has not gained the upper hand in several battles with him, and his way of using troops should be good. ”
"It's not bad, it's just a good word, otherwise how could he give your emperor Ama such a headache. Although this time let Yunli lead the troops, and after several battles, he also had a small upper hand, but it was far from enough to win this battle. ”
For Yunxiang's words, Hongli quite agreed, but he didn't understand what these had to do with Yinzhen's layout to send those soldiers to death.
Yun Xiang sighed and said: "The longer the battle drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us, 600,000 troops, the grain and grass they use every day is a huge number, although your emperor Ama doesn't say it, but in fact, he is very hard." The only way is to solve the battles as best you can, at least one of them. Let Yunli pretend to be defeated, and deceiving the second elder brother is secondary, and the most important thing is to deceive Geldan. ”
Hongli said puzzledly: "Uncle Thirteen, the more I listen, the more confused I become, what is going on." ”
"I've read all the reports sent by Yunli, and to be honest, it's very difficult to win against Geldan, and even if you win in the end, you have to pay a big price, and whether the Qing Dynasty can pay it is still unknown. Therefore, in order to win against Geldan, you must win in the face of danger. After a pause, he continued: "In this failed battle, what Yunli showed to Geldan was a stubborn and self-serving side that did not listen to others, which made Geerdan think that he had mastered Yunli's weakness and despised Yunli. After all, such a character is easy to suffer on the battlefield, even if it is useless no matter how talented it is. ”
Hearing this, Hongli finally understood, and suddenly said: "Huang Ama wants to make Geldan light the enemy, so that we can take advantage of it." ”
"It is this reason, if this plan can work, we can not only quell the Junggar rebellion in the shortest possible time, but also minimize the casualties of the soldiers, compared to the thousands of casualties today, it is really nothing." Speaking of this, Yun Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said softly: "Look at it, there will be news soon." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly said: "The world thinks that although the emperor is a Ming monarch, he is far inferior to the first emperor in the word benevolence; But according to me, the emperor's benevolence is not inferior to that of the previous emperor, but sometimes the emperor will sacrifice a small number of people in order to get greater benefits, so the world misunderstands the emperor and thinks that the emperor is ruthless. ”
Hongli thought for a moment, raised his lips and smiled: "Fortunately, there is still the thirteenth uncle who understands Huang Ama." ”
Yunxiang coughed lightly and said, "I'm afraid I won't understand it for long, this body is ......" He didn't continue, but Hongli understood that although he was seriously ill before to deceive Hongshi, every time he saw Yunxiang, he felt that his spirit was a little worse, and he didn't know how long he could last.
Yun Xiang didn't say much about his own affairs, but said: "Fourth elder brother, you must also learn from the emperor in the future, be decisive when you should be decisive, be merciful when you should be merciful, don't be blindly merciful for fear of being infamous, that can only bring the Qing Dynasty to a point of no return, and also live up to your emperor Ama's trust, understand?" Although Yinzhen did not establish a reserve, many people knew in their hearts that after Yinzhen Dragon returned to the sea, Hongli would inevitably ascend to the throne of God.
Hongli said solemnly: "Yes, no matter where you are, Hongli will focus on the Qing Dynasty and never disappoint Huang Ama's hard work!" ”
Yun Xiang said happily: "It's enough for you to have this thought." ”
