Chapter 20: The Rising Tide (3)

"Little prince, the prince has an explanation, let you go to the study as soon as you return home."

After sending the pestering Yinlu away in a few words, Hongqing went back to the house, and when he got out of the carriage, he saw the porter coming forward with a smile on his face, and accompanied him to report carefully.

"Oh? Got it. ”

As soon as he heard that his father was invited, Hongqing was stunned at first, but he soon woke up and didn't say much, just responded indifferently, raised his feet and rushed to the study in the inner courtyard, but in his heart he was still deducing the possible changes in the current situation - as far as the current situation is concerned, Hongqing dares to assert that Suo Etu will definitely take risks, but the outcome will not change much, defeat is a sure thing, without it, Suo Etu can't be the opponent of the old man Kangxi at all, As for whether the eighth head who intends to make a profit can successfully involve the prince in it, it is difficult to assert, which is also the focus of Hongqing's deduction, but there are too few clues, even though Hongqing has made a lot of assumptions, it is still difficult to come to a conclusion.

Well? Why are they all there?

Thinking about it, Hongqing's feet are not slow at all, but after a while, he has rushed to the inner study, and only then did he turn out from behind the screen, and when he entered the eye, he saw Yinzhi, who was dressed in light purple single clothes, sat on the head, and the four strategists of the palace sat on the left and right, which was clearly the pattern of the discussion, and his heart couldn't help but move, but his feet did not stop, he walked a few steps, grabbed his father, and respectfully bowed.

"Let's all discuss it, what kind of charter should this matter be?"

Yinzhi was covered with sweat, it seemed that he had just returned, he was anxious to discuss matters, and he had no intention of talking nonsense with Hongqing, and when Hongqing was finished, Yinzhi just pointed to his side, signaling Hongqing to stand and listen, and then, looking around at the strategists, opened his mouth with a little excitement.

"Lord Mingjian, the old man thinks that this matter is very strange, I am afraid that the villain is behind the back, and wants to cut off the foundation of His Royal Highness the Prince, however, now the wisdom is extraordinary, how can such a sneaky person be hidden from the saint, so it is appropriate to respond to everything with the same."

As soon as Yinzhi's voice fell, Meng Guangzu, as the first strategist, had already taken the lead in opening his mouth, and a group of Zhizhu was holding the ground and speaking.

"Yes, yes, what Brother Meng said is very true, this kind of rumor-mongering is really a scoundrel's behavior, with His Majesty's wisdom, how can he not notice it, and get involved in it in vain, I am afraid that it will inevitably be a catastrophe, Liang thinks that he can report to His Majesty with the truth, and he should get the first move, as for the rest, it is better to sit and watch."

The second strategist Liang Xuwen obviously felt the same as Meng Guangzu's suggestion, and without waiting for Yinzhi to express his position, he shook his head and echoed it.

"Good words, the prince only needs to report the situation in Beijing truthfully, no matter what the situation is going, the prince can sit and watch the wind surge, why not?"

Seeing that the first two were in favor of sitting and watching the situation develop, the third strategist Chen Guanzhao did not have any different opinions, and he clapped his hands and echoed with great interest.

What? This is the strategist that Daddy values? It's just a bunch of slices!

Hongqing participated in the audit for the first time, and he was still in high spirits, thinking that he could see for a long time, but when he heard what the three major strategists said, his eyes suddenly came out wildly, and Miao Miao fluttered into a big word - Damn! But after thinking about it, I don't think it's strange, these guys are all so-called celebrities, and the words of the article may be able to make do, when it comes to scheming, it's all blind, the reason why the vegetarian meal has been so far, the reason is nothing more than that the court situation before this year has been very stable, and there is no major need for their counselor.

In Hongqing's view, it's not impossible to sit and watch the ups and downs, it's very stable, but if you want to profit from it, it's a shadowless thing at all, not only that, but it will leave a mediocre bad impression on the old man Kangxi - the old man has been dissatisfied with the prince for a long time, and the reason why he wants to take the Suo Etu is precisely to cut off the prince's right hand, and now he is not in a hurry to change horses, but he is worried that there will be chaos in the society, in other words, the prince will definitely not be able to sit in the position of the East Palace, and the rest is the question of who is on the elder brother, obviously, At this point, the old man himself has not made up his mind, still in the wait-and-see, at present, the evolution of the situation to this point, may be an exam, although it is not a final exam, it can be said that it is a mid-term exam but it is not an exaggeration, there is no doubt that on the road to the heir, light stability is not good, there must be means, try to ask the wisdom of the old man, how can he rest assured that the country will be handed over to a mediocre talent?

"Well...... Zicheng (Li Minquan's character), do you have any opinion on this matter?"

Yinzhi is not a very decisive person, originally planned to take advantage of the chaos to make a vote, otherwise, he would not have hurried back to his house to discuss matters as soon as he heard the rumors, but at this time, he heard that the three major strategists all advocated winning in stability, and his mind changed suddenly, but there was still a trace of unwillingness, and after a moment of silence, he was still not in a hurry to make a decision, but turned his attention to Li Minquan, who was always silent.

"Hmm......"

Although Li Minquan is also one of the four strategists, after all, his foundation in the mansion is still shallow, and he usually follows the trend when he discusses matters, but this time the handle fell into Hongqing's hands, and this trend naturally can't be followed, the problem is that Hongqing has not yet said something, he doesn't dare to speak casually, so he has to pretend to nod his head with a deep groan, and his eyes are half-squinted to hide his gaze towards Hongqing.

Bet!

Although Li Minquan's sweeping gaze was hidden, Hongqing was keenly aware of it, and he knew that it was time to see the real chapter, but he couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart - these days, Hongqing has made a lot of effort to collect information from all sides, and he has not been less private to deduce possible changes in the current situation, but unfortunately the information obtained is really limited, even if he has the advantage of foresight of the general trend, he does not dare to guarantee that the judgment he made is the best choice, but the matter has come to this, Hongqing could only gamble ruthlessly, so he quietly made a "two" gesture when everyone's attention in the room was focused on Li Minquan.

"Brother Li has a very high opinion, so you might as well speak it out and discuss it."

Meng Guangzu is not only the first strategist of the Chengjun Palace, but also the queen of the famous family in Beijing, he has always regarded himself very highly, and has always looked down on Li Minquan, the first move, in the past, he gave Li Minquan small shoes to wear, and when he saw that Li Minquan seemed to have a different suggestion, he was very dissatisfied in his heart, so he said a word.

"Gong Meng's words are serious, and Gao Jian doesn't dare to take it, but Li has some thoughts, and I don't know whether it's right or not, so I have to ask the prince and the princes to inquire."

received the code call from Hongqing, Li Minquan not only failed to feel at ease, but was a little more worried, but the arrow was on the bow, but he couldn't help it, so he had to grit his teeth secretly, clasped his fists with both hands, put on a low posture, and opened his mouth sincerely.

"Zicheng has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak, this king listens."

Yinzhi didn't have too many expectations for Li Minquan, that is, he was unwilling to ask casually, but at this time, seeing that Li Minquan really had other ideas, he was interested and encouraged Li Minquan kindly.

"Wang Ye Mingjian, I thought that this rumor was not groundless, even if there were villains behind the scenes, but it also made clear a fact, that is, the saint has been dissatisfied with the East Palace, Suo Etu is already in the catastrophe this time, but this person has been in the past for many years, and he is deeply rooted in the court and the opposition, and he is not a person who will be captured by the neck, and the chaos in Beijing will arise, I don't know if the prince thinks so?"

Li Minquan forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, quickly organized the language, and told the results of the analysis that Hongqing gave him privately.

"Alarmist! It's just some unfounded rumors, so why not! ”

Meng Guangzu already looked at Li Minquan unpleasantly, and this hearing what he said was contrary to his own judgment, he was ashamed and angry, and before Yinzhi could speak, he had a straight face and reprimanded him unceremoniously.

"Zicheng's words are wrong, Suo Xiang has been assisting the government for more than 30 years, it is from the father of the dragon, the saint has been extremely trustworthy, even if he is dissatisfied, he should not be punished too heavily, when the pearl was autocratic, and secretly instigated the big brother to seek the position of the East Palace, His Majesty is just to remove him from the post of minister of the guard, and the title of scholar is still the same, and now he is patrolling Shandong with the emperor, which shows that the saint is the lord of magnanimity, and how can he be guilty of the accusation because of the rumors, exaggeration, excesses!"

Liang Xuwen also disagreed with Li Minquan's analysis, and refuted Li Minquan's words word for word.

"Otherwise, Mingzhu can be magnanimous, just because the eldest brother is not the prince, or even not the prince's choice, since there is no need to deal with it, you can cut power, and Suo Xiang is different, there is it, the saint will not move the prince, this Suo Xiang will die, and since ancient times, the prince has been the prince for nearly 30 years, rare, but now it is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the strange can be seen at a glance, as Song Zu said: How can the side of the couch allow others to snore like thunder?"

Li Minquan has now been forced to Liangshan, no matter how worried he is, he can only refute the opinions of Meng and Liang.

"Wild words, you ......"

Seeing that Li Minquan, a small character who would only be submissive in the past, dared to refute himself, Meng Guangzu's face suddenly couldn't hold back, and he was about to scream angrily when he opened his mouth.

"Hmm!"

Although Yinzhi is less decisive in killing, he is not a mediocre talent, hearing this, he already agrees with Li Minquan's analysis in his heart, and he will not let Meng Guangzu mess around, so he raised his hand with a calm face, stopped Meng Guangzu's roar, and after a little groaning, he waved his hand towards Li Minquan and said: "Zicheng continued, it seems that in this situation, what should this king be?" ”

"Lord, I think that this matter should be divided into two steps, one is to report all kinds of strange things in Beijing to Your Majesty, in case Suo Etu dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and on the other hand, Shandong Navy Inspector Fu'an is a disciple of Suo Etu, I am afraid that there is a suspicion of abnormal movement, and I must remind the Holy Lord to be careful; Second, if the children dare to spread rumors, they must be prepared, and the chaos in Beijing is inevitable, and the prince must prepare early. ”

Now that the words have been said to this point, Li Minquan has no possibility of retreating, so his face is grim, and he tells the strategy that Hongqing has set in advance.

"This ......"

Li Minquan said it impassionedly, but how could Yinzhi dare to make up his mind in a hurry for such a big thing, his face changed for a while, and he fell into contemplation......
