Chapter 812: Fellowship with Your Confidant (2)
Seal two iron hat kings in one day? Oh, our third master is really willing!
The old sixteen was so excited that his mouth was foaming at the mouth, but Hongqing's eyes became more and more cold, no other, Hongqing had already seen the intentions behind the third master's move - the old thirteen had soldiers and generals in his hands, and the old fifteen was in charge of the huge "Eight Banners Firm", as for the old sixteen, because of the succession to Prince Zhuang, it can be said that there is nothing wrong with the territory of the Zongren Mansion. The third master will naturally be able to stabilize the situation of the Jingshi smoothly, and by the way, he can also dig the foundation of Hongqing, it is really the best of both worlds, if it is just like this, then it will be enough, although Hongqing is dissatisfied, but it will not have too much resentment, the problem is that as soon as the matter of the garden is extinguished, Hongqing has already seen the cold-blooded true face of the third master, if these three masters really accept the kindness of the third master so defenselessly, the end, it will definitely not be much different from the unjust soul full of back gardens today- Once the third master sits on the throne, it will be time for these three masters to go and have tea with Lord Yama!
"Sixteenth brother, don't make trouble!"
Although the old fifteen is not good at words, but he is a meticulous person, he has found that Hongqing's expression is not right, and he has already woken up, and at this time he saw Hongqing's eyes cold, and he felt that it was not very good, so he waved his hand, interrupted the show off of the sixteenth master, and cautiously arched his hand towards Hongqing: "Brother Qing, my brother has been with you for many years, if there is anything wrong, please ask Brother Qing for guidance, my brother and other brothers will not obey the reason." ”
"......, Brother Qing, can't you get this reward? If that's the case, if you let me go, I'll go! ”
As soon as the old fifteen said this, the old sixteen came to his senses and scratched his head in a daze, but his attitude was not ambiguous at all.
"If the little nephew is not bad, the thirteenth uncle should go to the audience one step ahead of the two of you?"
Hongqing was not in a hurry to explain the strangeness, but asked a question seemingly casually.
"Yes, the first person you saw the third master was the old thirteen, and he didn't see him back after he went, and it was the turn of the master later, and then the fifteenth brother, my brothers received the reward and came to your place together, is there anything wrong here?"
The old sixteen spoke quickly, and as soon as Hongqing's voice fell, he had already replied with a lot of chatter.
"After so many years, Uncle Thirteen has had several ups and downs, and there are more tribulations, but he can be regarded as experienced, heh, do you know why Uncle Thirteen didn't come to see his little nephew?"
Hongqing smiled self-deprecatingly, and after commenting on the old thirteen words, he asked again meaningfully.
"Brother Qing is saying that the old thirteen is avoiding suspicion? Can ......"
The old fifteen was careful, and he had already doubted it before, but now Hongqing has almost made it clear, he will not be unable to guess the answer, but he is obviously not very convinced, no side, in the old fifteen want to come, the third master can take the position, it is completely the credit of Hongqing, and it is the relationship between father and son, no matter how to cross the river and tear down the bridge, it will not be possible to take Hongqing to do it.
"Heh, let's put it this way, although Uncle Thirteen has won the reward, he will definitely resign one after another, not only that, but in the next matter of the expansion of the new army, he will also try his best to have a few conflicts with his little nephew, or even to the point of fighting a lawsuit before the emperor, so that Uncle Thirteen's iron hat king can be stabilized."
Hongqing did not directly answer the questions of the old fifteenth, but took out the possible countermeasures of the old thirteenth to talk about things, as for the old fifteen brothers who can't understand the mystery, Hongqing doesn't care, he can say what he can say, he can't say it, Hongqing will not announce it.
"Whew! When did this kid learn to be so hypocritical, grandma is a bear, if it weren't for Brother Qing'er to help him a few times, this guy should have been trapped to death, just for a little-known iron hat king, playing such a trick, the master looks down on him! Brother Qing'er, I will put aside a sentence here, this iron hat king of bird feathers, I don't want it, if you want to have trouble with your Brother Qing'er, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't come! ”
The old sixteen is just rude, but the nature is a smart person, just thinking about it, he already understands Hongqing's unfinished words, even if the old thirteen scolded him, at the end, he patted his chest and made a guarantee.
"Brother Qing, what do you say, my brothers and I have nothing to say."
Lao Fifteen is not very good at expressing himself, and his words are extremely short, but his attitude is undoubtedly clear.
Seeing that the old fifteen brothers were so emotional, Hongqing's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, and just when he was thinking about planning a thing or two for the old fifteen brothers, he heard a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and when the words came to his mouth, he stopped, and quickly glanced at the old fifteen brothers, and the little brothers immediately quieted down.
"Lord Wang, Li Dequan and Father-in-law Li are here, saying that His Majesty has a will for you."
The person who turned out from the screen was Liu Fushun, and when he saw Hongqing and the three of them eating quietly, he couldn't help but be a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly grabbed Hongqing's body, bowed down, and hurriedly said something.
"Well, I know, go, open the gate of the garden, prepare the incense case, and this king will go to receive the order."
This hearing of the holy decree has arrived, Hongqing did not dare to delay it slightly, waved his hand, and commanded quietly.
"Oh, the old slave will do it."
Since Hongqing had an order, Liu Fushun didn't dare to say more, responded respectfully, and hurriedly withdrew from the study, and went to arrange for the order without mentioning it.
"Two uncles, please wait, the little nephew Rong will take the will first, and then talk later."
Receiving the order is a big deal, Hongqing didn't care about talking to the old fifteenth brother and the two of them, and after explaining the scene, he hurried to the gate of the garden, and when he got the ground, he saw that Li Dequan and the two little eunuchs were already standing at the gate of the garden.
"The old slave has seen His Royal Highness Prince Ren."
Seeing Hongqing walking out of the garden, Li Dequan hurriedly rushed forward and greeted him very respectfully.
"Gonggong Li is polite, Xiao Wang is not a prince yet, but the title of His Royal Highness is undeserved."
According to the Qing system, only members of the royal family above the prince can be called His Royal Highness, but the county king is not among them, even if the third master has already personally promised Hongqing's princely title, but after all, the official edict has not yet been issued, if you really want to admit it, then there is a suspicion of trespassing, such a low-level mistake, Hongqing will not make it.
"The prince is too modest, Your Majesty has a will here, and the old slave will congratulate the prince first."
When the old man asked the third master, Li Dequan was on the side, knowing that Hongqing was the next emperor, how dare he put on a show in front of Hongqing, and changed the past not arrogant or humble, and he curried with a smile on his face.
"Gonggong Li, please announce the decree."
For Li Dequan, the head of the eunuch who holds the thirteen yamen, Hongqing doesn't like it much, but he doesn't dare to ignore it, and he won't be rude to him, so he just smiled and waved his hand and said politely.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: The eldest brother Hongqing is pure and filial, has made many meritorious contributions to the country, I am the ...... of Su Xin, the position of Prince Jinren, and the prince of Shishuang, Qin this!"
Since Hongqing had an order, Li Dequan didn't dare to ramble any more, and carefully accompanied Hongqing to the incense case that had been set up, and after Hongqing knelt down, he announced the will of the third master at a glance.
Big brother? Ha, let's become a big brother!
Most of the content of the will is nonsense, and as long as the last sentence is dry goods, Hongqing is too lazy to listen carefully, but he feels embarrassed that he has become a big brother, but there is no problem, who made him Hongqing is the eldest son, and according to the rules, he should be called the eldest brother.
"Minister, love Xin Jueluo? Hongqing is grateful, long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”
Although he is extremely indifferent to the title of the eldest brother, when it is time to be grateful, there must be no mistakes.
"Lord, Your Majesty still has a secret decree for you, please keep it away."
Seeing that Hongqing seemed to have an aversion to the word "His Highness" before, Li Dequan didn't dare to use this word anymore, but resumed the name he used to address Hongqing earlier.
"There's Father-in-law Lao Li."
Hongqing first put the edict of Prince Feng back into his sleeve, and then reached out again to take the secret decree, spread it out and looked, sure enough, it was the same as expected, this is a quasi-Hongqing to lead two thousand new army cavalry to Sichuan to act cheaply, which clearly gave Hongqing the power to control the military and political affairs in the northwest.
"Brother Qing'er has won a big lottery?"
After sending Li Dequan away, Hongqing immediately turned around and went back to the study, and as soon as he entered the house, Lao Sixteen had already asked with a smile.
"Prince Jin, don't talk about this, the little nephew is ordered to go to the northwest on business, so he has to leave."
Hongqing shrugged her shoulders indifferently and answered lightly.
"In such a hurry? That ......"
As soon as he heard that Hongqing was about to leave, Lao Sixteen couldn't help but be stunned, and wanted to ask his brother how to deal with the reward, but he felt that it didn't seem to be good to trouble Hongqing at this time, so he closed his mouth in embarrassment.
"It's okay, there is still time to say a few words, the little nephew and the two uncles are friends of the general horn, nearly 20 years of ups and downs, there is no need to be taboo, just make a long story short, if the two uncles can trust the little nephew, then follow the resignation, not only that, the two uncles had better donate all the shares of the Eight Banners firm, if so, at least in recent years, as for the future, the future will be good, the little nephew should not let the two uncles down."
Hongqing is about to set off, so he won't make a detour, and he will briefly describe the way to deal with it.
"Isn't it just shares, the lord has long been rich and rivals the country, donate."
The old sixteen was very simple, he didn't even think about it, and he accepted it with a full mouth.
"In China, just do what Brother Qing said."
Although the old fifteen hesitated slightly, he could answer, and he was also very simple.
"I've wronged my two uncles."
As far as the current scale of the "Eight Banners Firm" is concerned, the shares in the hands of the old fifteen brothers are not a matter of 100,000 taels, and the annual dividends alone are enough to have 4 million taels, if they are resold, they are worth more than 30 million taels of silver, but such a large fortune, the brothers will donate when they say donate, this kind of pride is clearly the absolute trust in Hongqing, Rao is Hongqing is calm by nature, seeing this situation, he can't help but moisten his eyes......
