On June 18, the 60th year of Kangxi, the university scholar Song Zhu said that the Admiral of Jiumen and the Admiral of Fengtai Daying are both important positions, for the sake of the safety of Gyeonggi, it is not appropriate to be absent for a long time, and specially recommended the military department squire Cheng Wenyun to serve as the commander of Fengtai Daying, and recommended the former Admiral of Jiumen who was idle at home, Long Keduo, to return to his original post, once the news came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar, and there were those who agreed, those who opposed, and those who made a fool of themselves, it was really lively, but the officials of Prince Cheng's Mansion were all silent. As for the third master, father and son, they didn't say a word about it, as if they were indifferent to these two important positions.

On June 26th, in the hustle and bustle of a faction, the old man finally made a will, approved the invitation of Song Zhu, and Long Keduo returned to serve as the governor of Jiumen again, and ordered Cheng Wenyun to be the commander of the Fengtai battalion, at the same time, he made a will, the eldest son of the old fourteenth Hongchun was promoted to Beizi, and summoned into Changchun Garden to accompany him, and pointed out his marriage, which can be described as a grace, as soon as this move came out, there was an uproar between the government and the opposition, and countless people were speculating whether the old man's sacred heart was easier again. Various versions of the rumor have gone viral inside and outside the Jingshi.

Time is like flowing water, in a blink of an eye, it is already the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is going to be September when you see the sky, the day is getting colder, but the excitement in the Beijing division is still not less, two months, Long Keduo and Cheng Wenyun have not stopped, each tossing in the camp, and it is a major event to treat the generals, and it is constantly to give the generals of Prince Cheng's Mansion a series of small shoes to wear, and try their best to retaliate, so that the two camps are a group of black miasma, but no matter how noisy outside, the third father and son have remained silent, and insist on going to Changchun Garden every day to ask for peace, Even if the old man has never been summoned, he has not changed his original intention, of course, calm is just the appearance, in fact, although Hongqing has never gone out, but through the "sharp knife" closely monitored the various movements of the Beijing division of the government and the opposition, not to mention the "sharp knife" people to appease the new army soldiers, everything has only one purpose, that is, to ensure that after the old man returns to the sea, he can stabilize the situation in the Beijing division as quickly as possible.

On the first day of September, early in the morning, the old man suddenly issued edicts one after another, first on the charge of "the party attached to Yinren and did not change until death", and dismissed Wang Luo from his post as a bachelor, saying that he was old and mediocre, and he should have been sent to serve in the Wusu Yali Taiwan Army, thinking of his old age and decrepitness, and was exempted; Immediately afterwards, he issued an edict saying: Ma Qi was confused, ineffective, and talked nonsense about Yinren's pure filial piety, which was really unbearable, and he was dismissed from his post and temporarily detained in the prison to prepare for trial; These two edicts in succession, the court and the court suddenly a big chaos, but before the ministers could figure out a clue, just after noon, the inner court issued four edicts one after another, one of them, said: Zhang Tingyu has been in charge for many years, there is no good governance, the table is vegetarian, should be dismissed, read it is still diligent, in addition to the title of scholar, will go to the study to walk, to see the after-effects; Second, Fang Bao is a cloth cloth, lucky to be favored, but he does not want to repay Jun's grace, every time he talks strangely, he loses hope, remembers his old age, and sends him back to his hometown, so that the government of origin is strictly guarded, and there must be no mistakes; Third, Wang Yinxiang of the Thirteenth Brother Yongjun is a vulgar person, and every time he is rude in front of me, he will immediately take it in the Zongren Mansion, keep it in captivity, and no one will be allowed to visit him privately; Fourth, the general Wang Yinyu gave his eldest son Hongchun pure filial piety, quite talented, won my heart, and walked with the title of Dorobelle, accompanied by the driver!

It's messy, it's all messy, the old man has issued six edicts in a day, and he has deposed many important ministers around him one after another, even the old thirteen and other noble people have been suddenly circled, but the eldest son of the old fourteen has been promoted to two lords in a few months, such a strange situation came out, and the court was suddenly all messed up, not only the courtiers were all in danger, but the brothers were also trembling inexplicably, and no one dared to guarantee that the old man's stick would not fall on his own head.

"Huang Ama is doing something, confused, alas, Wang Luo is just that, this person has always supported Yinren, and the evil deeds have been done early, and that's it, how can even the thirteenth brother be circled, isn't this a blind toss, alas, how can Huang Ama be like this, how can he be like this!"

Not to mention that the ministers were dizzy by this series of edicts, the third master was also not much better, he had the heart to say things, but he was afraid of implicating himself, so he was so anxious that he sighed in the study.

The old man seems to be really not good!

Others can't see through the strangeness behind the old man's series of edicts, but Hongqing knows it in his heart, there is no other, the old man is preparing for the future, the reason why the dismissal of those loyal ministers is nothing more than a kind of protection, in order to give the successor a chance to show grace, in order to buy the heart of the minister, as for the old thirteen is circled, the same is true, the fear is that the old thirteen is on the wrong side in this succession turmoil, and Hongchun's promotion, to put it bluntly, it is simple, it is just to use this to calm the heart of the old fourteen, In case he conspired with the eighth master and others to rebel, of course, he was clear in his heart, but Hongqing didn't plan to say anything, let the third master mutter there endlessly, Hongqing still sat still.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty's act of issuing an edict this time must have a deep meaning, and it should not be done casually."

Seeing that the third master was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, Li Minquan couldn't sit still, although he hadn't seen through the old man's intentions, but he still reluctantly spoke out to explain the third master.

"Meaning? What is the meaning? Could it be that you really want to make the old fourteen, huh? Say, Make it clear to the king! ”

The third master was very upset, this listening to Li Minquan's words was all false, and there was nothing dry at all, even if he was annoyed, his eyes widened, and he had already thrown out a series of questions one after another, which immediately made Li Minquan embarrassed and red-faced.

"This, this should not be stopped, the prince is too worried, if Your Majesty really wants to set up the fourteenth master, he should not be made to stay outside the plug all the time."

Li Minquan is still a first-class strategist in the end, although he is not a top wise man, but compared to ordinary people, he is more clever and young and old, although he was embarrassed by the third master at this time, he can still tell the truth.

"Hmph, what, don't you really have to wait for the old fourteen to lead the army to kill? No, this king will be on the book, and he must not let Huang Ama act like this! ”

Li Minquan actually said the point, although it was not very thorough, but the general meaning was pointed out, but the third master was in a hurry at this time, how could he have the heart to think about it, he waved his hand impatiently, and shouted angrily.

"If the prince wants to cause trouble for himself, then he just has to do it."

Seeing that the third master didn't listen to anyone's persuasion, Old Master Chen couldn't stand it anymore, so he coldly gave the third master a slap in the face.

"Ah, this ......"

The third master dared to get angry with Li Minquan, but he didn't have the courage to shout at Old Master Chen.

"It's not easy for the prince to think about it, those who were deposed are all very people, they are all pillars of the country, how could Your Majesty destroy the Great Wall for no reason, the reason why you do this is just to give grace and convenience to the successor, if the prince can't even see through this article, won't you disappoint Your Majesty, hey, move the book? The prince only needs to move the capital, and he will attract the holy taboo if he has no land, what a foolishness! ”

Old Master Chen glanced at the third master disdainfully, and unceremoniously reprimanded him again, even if the third master's face was suffocated, it was almost comparable to the monkey's butt.

"This, woe, this, the master has taught him a lesson, but the thirteenth brother is innocent, why should he also be in captivity?"

Although he was scolded by Old Master Chen for being bloody, the third master didn't have the courage to fight back, and after a while, he moved out the experience of the old thirteen, obviously he still didn't really understand Old Master Chen's rebellious advice.

"Heh, the thirteenth master is a general, he has a half of the new army in his hand, and he has the artillery command college as his aid, although he is indisputable, it is an unstable element in Beijing, can the prince guarantee that one of them will be neutral to the end? Can't stop, even Your Majesty doesn't dare to guarantee it like this, even so, it is inevitable to let him temporarily trapped in the mansion, when the time comes, His Majesty will definitely give the prince will, Ke Keli will pardon the thirteenth master, it is a big help for the prince, such a simple intention, the prince can't see through, really let His Majesty know, maybe what he will think. ”

Seeing that the third master had not come to his senses, Old Master Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head, and patiently explained to the third master.

"I see, how should Xiao Wang deal with it?"

Old Master Chen has already explained the understanding of the Tao so clearly, the third master will not understand, and the heart of the riot has calmed down a little, but he is still not very relieved, so he bowed his hand to Old Master Chen respectfully, and humbly asked for advice.

"Today's plan, stability is overwhelming, and the prince's inaction on the face is the biggest action, but in private, you have to beware of the children jumping off the wall in a hurry."

Old Master Chen nodded solemnly, and pointed out the way to deal with it concisely.

"Please enlighten the Master."

The third master chewed on what Old Master Chen said carefully, and he already knew it in his heart, so he hurried to ask for advice again.

"The first one is that the prince and the little prince don't go out again if they have nothing to do, just stay in this summer palace, and send more guards to come to guard, and the two families must also be secretly transferred, but they can't be placed here, they must be hidden in another place, well, the sixteenth elder brother can be borrowed temporarily, this matter is not good for the prince to come forward, so it will be handed over to the little prince to do."

Old Master Chen didn't have any hypocrisy, and straightforwardly planned for the third master.

"Well, that's good, Qing'er, this matter will be handled by you, be careful, don't let the news out."

The third master did not hesitate, and immediately agreed to Old Master Chen's arrangement, and explained to Hongqing with his head sideways.

"Yes, the child obeys the command of his father."

Old Master Chen's arrangement was what Hongqing thought in his heart, and he would not have any objections at all, so he hurriedly bowed down and agreed to the promise.
