Chapter 997: Lifting Weights Like Light (8)
"Huang Ama should know, and his sons are not lying."
Seeing Emperor Chengde chattering endlessly trying to suppress himself, Hongqing couldn't help but cry and laugh in his heart, but he didn't bother to care more about it at this time, he just responded expressionlessly, although his tone was peaceful, but the toughness in his heart couldn't be concealed, of course, to such a point, Hongqing was too lazy to hide his disappointment in Emperor Chengde.
"Your Majesty, my brother thinks that what Prince Ren said should be true, and the specific details are still difficult to clarify at the moment, so it is not too late to discuss it after Admiral Geng arrives."
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Prince Yong said is quite reasonable, and I ask Your Majesty to be clear."
The fourth master suddenly appeared, Emperor Chengde couldn't help but be stunned, and for a while he really couldn't understand why the fourth master would help Hongqing speak, but Li Minquan saw that something was wrong, and even if his heart sank, his face changed slightly and he echoed the words.
"Well, then wait, all the Aiqing are all flat."
The words of the fourth master, Emperor Chengde can not care, but this time hearing Li Minquan also say so, Emperor Chengde did not dare to ignore it, although he had never guessed the strangeness, but he still relied on instinct to follow the good.
"Ministers thank Your Majesty Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
After talking for so long, a group of people had already knelt down and their legs and feet were numb, and this time Emperor Chengde finally called out, everyone was secretly relieved, and hurriedly thanked them all together, and then they got up and lined up on both sides of the main hall.
"Your Majesty, Geng Sanbiao, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, is already waiting to see you at the palace gate."
Although Emperor Chengde's intellectual arithmetic ability is not good, but people are by no means stupid, although they have secretly thought about it for a long time in their hearts, they have never understood the strangeness of the fourth master and Li Minquan who suddenly eased Hongqing's cheeks, but they are very rational and no longer in a hurry to suppress Hongqing, but they are casually chatting with all kinds of people, and they are basically talking nonsense that is not very nutritious.
"Xuan!"
As soon as he heard that Geng Sanbiao had arrived, Emperor Chengde's spirit immediately perked up, and with a wave of his hand, he gave an order quite impatiently.
"Wow!"
As soon as Emperor Chengde's golden mouth was opened, Li Dequan did not dare to have the slightest slackness, and hurriedly responded, and hurriedly withdrew from the main hall.
"Minister, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, Geng Sanbiao, knocks to see Your Majesty!"
According to the practice of the Qing Dynasty, the Admiral of the Nine Gates is served by the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, whether it is Fuqing A in the early years or Long Keduo in the later years are the most favored ministers of the Son of Heaven, and it is common to enter and exit the internal ban, except for Geng Sanbiao, an exception, since he served as the Admiral of the Nine Gates, the number of times he has entered the inner ban can be counted with one hand, and every time even if he enters the internal ban, it is not a good thing to wait for him, and it is difficult to escape being repaired by Emperor Chengde. Obviously, he couldn't avoid the accusation, Geng Sanbiao couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive and uneasy in his heart, but fortunately, the city was still deep enough, and his voice was very calm, and he did not show the slightest timidity.
"Geng Sanbiao, I ask you, what happened to the attack on the Yamen prison of the Admiral of the Nine Gates last night, huh?"
Although there was great incomprehension about Li Minquan and the fourth master's previous actions to help Hongqing, Emperor Chengde's intention to take the opportunity to make trouble was never shaken, and when he saw Geng Sanbiao at this time, the anger in his heart burst out, and his voice was cold, and the murderous aura was already rising undisguised.
"Back to Your Majesty's words, the case is still under investigation, and now we only know that at the time of the case, at three o'clock in the morning, the guerrilla general Geng Rong falsely passed on the order of Weichen, and led people into the prison, and several rebels in the prison should cooperate with the outside and the outside, wantonly caused chaos, and the killing and injury were not counted, according to investigation, the target of this gang of traitors is the culprit of the arson case in Wuyi Lane who was captured yesterday, and Weichen has ordered a thorough internal investigation to clarify the truth."
Speaking of last night's chaos, Geng Sanbiao had infinite anger and grievances in his heart, there was no other, the thief who led the chaos turned out to be his most trusted cousin Geng Rong - Geng Sanbiao himself had no sons, even if he married more than a dozen concubines, he also gave birth to more than a dozen offspring for him, unfortunately, all of them were daughters, now that he is older, seeing that it is difficult to have children, Geng Sanbiao had to choose an heir from the descendants of several brothers, and Geng Rong was selected after his repeated investigations, the reason why he was not in a hurry to inherit to his own name, It's just for the sake of cultivation, I thought that after a few years, I would recommend it to Hongqing, so that he could have a good future, but I never thought that Geng Rong was actually a spy, although I don't know which side of the person it is, but the consequences caused by this time are undoubtedly unforgivable, and it is not only related to his own future Geng Sanbiao, but also the major event of Prince Ren.
"Clarifying the truth? Hmph, it's a good way to clarify the truth, I entrusted the important task of security in the imperial city to Qing, is this how Qing repays me? Today, your Admiral of the Nine Gates was attacked, and it will be my turn to be the palace tomorrow, huh? ”
Emperor Chengde just wanted to use the topic to play, and he didn't care about Geng Sanbiao's feelings at all, and he didn't care about whether the case could be solved at all, but seeing that his face sank, he was already slashing at Geng Sanbiao and covering his face.
"Your Majesty is angry, it is the minister's dereliction of duty, the minister's crime deserves death, and please ask Your Majesty to give the minister a period of time, and the minister should try his best to solve this case......"
When he was punished by Emperor Chengde before, Geng Sanbiao didn't care much, after all, it was just Emperor Chengde nitpicking there, it was not a very serious mistake, with Hongqing as the backing, Geng Sanbiao didn't need to worry about Emperor Chengde's punishment, but this time, one was that he made a big mistake, and the other was a mistake about Hongqing's major event, Geng Sanbiao really couldn't keep his heart like the previous few times, and he was in a sad mood, but he really didn't have much to justify, so he could only kowtow and admit his mistakes, while sincerely complaining.
"Anger? How do you tell me to calm my anger, huh? I ......"
Looking at Geng Sanbiao's sincere and frightened appearance, Emperor Chengde's heart was really happy as if he had drunk a cold **** in dog days, no side, as soon as Zhang Fanggang and others died, the clues of the arson case in Wuyi Lane were all broken, and naturally he could not trace his Chengde Emperor's body, this was the situation that Emperor Chengde was most happy to see, not to mention that he could seize such a handle to clean up Geng Sanbiao, if he could take this opportunity to drive him out of Beijing, it would obviously be a good thing, it was from this idea, Emperor Chengde didn't care how pious Geng Sanbiao's attitude was in admitting his mistakes, and continued to scold him endlessly.
"Your Majesty, my brother thinks that this case is full of fog, and it is really necessary to step up the investigation to set the record straight."
Seeing that Emperor Chengde was in a frenzy there, and Hongqing was unmoved, his face was so calm that there was almost no waves, and he didn't even open his mouth to distinguish a sentence for Geng Sanbiao, as soon as such a strange situation came out, the fourth master was a little uncontrollable, so he hurriedly interrupted from the side.
"Huh?"
Emperor Chengde was spontaneously furious, this was coldly interrupted by the fourth master, and he was very unhappy, even if his brows were wrinkled, he snorted coldly without being very good, and his heart was full of impatience.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Prince Yong said is very true, this case really needs to be strictly investigated to the end, now, this case is derived from the Wuyi Lane case, presumably Prince Ren must have an in-depth understanding of this case, the minister proposed that this case be handed over to Prince Ren for trial, and asked Your Majesty to make a clear decision."
Li Minquan's ability to calculate now can also be among the first-class, although there is still a gap between the top wise men such as Old Master Chen, but it is already quite good, plus he is the best at observing the face, he can realize that the atmosphere of today's deliberations is a little unusual, and he had doubted Hongqing's original intention of being so calm and hard-hearted, but he was not sure for a while, and when he saw that the fourth master would put on a posture for Geng Sanbiao regardless of the danger of angering Emperor Chengde, he was a little more sure of his earlier judgment, It's just clear that at this moment, Li Minquan didn't dare to openly stab the seriousness of the matter, so he could only hint at Emperor Chengde in words.
"Well......, Qing'er, your fourth uncle and Zicheng both recommended Yu Er, do you have any opinions on this, huh?"
Interrupted by the fourth master and Li Minquan twice in a row, Emperor Chengde was extremely unhappy in his heart, but he was already unhappy and already noticed that something seemed to be wrong, and he really didn't dare to go crazy anymore, but if he just gave up, he was a little reluctant, after all, this time was the best opportunity to win Geng Sanbiao, and it was with such hesitation that Emperor Chengde was not in a hurry to make a decision, but groaned and threw the problem to Hongqing.
