Chapter 444: The Hot Potato (1)
As long as it is a man, there is no one who does not yearn for the bloody battlefield of Jin Ge Iron Horse, Hongqing is naturally no exception, not to mention that this crusade was designed by him with painstaking efforts, and he can participate in it in person, Hongqing is eager to participate, the question is what is the purpose of the old man's question, does he really want to give Hongqing a chance to make contributions, or is he trying to make a fuss? Or is it the opposite? It's hard to say, at least it's really hard to judge Hongqing for a while.
"If you go back to Huang Ma Fa, but you can share the worries of Huang Ma Fa, and you can really do what your grandson wishes in life."
Regardless of what the old man's intentions are, since the problem has been laid out, then Hongqing cannot be allowed to hesitate at all, otherwise, it will definitely make the old man's heart have a pimple, and the consequences must not be easy to play.
"Well, okay, this is a good grandson of Yuan, so I will give you the will when I turn around."
The old man was obviously very satisfied with Hongqing's statement, nodded approvingly, and praised Hongqing very much.
"Grandson Xie Huang Mafaronen!"
Like a clever political figure like the old man, happiness may not be true joy, and anger may not be true anger, at this time, Hongqing really doesn't dare to guess what the old man's true intentions are, and he can't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, but no matter what, this gratitude must be thanked.
"Well, all of you have seen all kinds of sharp weapons today, and you must be itching in your heart at this time, so let's go down with you to experience it for yourself."
The old man glanced at Hongqing deeply, but there was no further instruction from the side, just whispered, waved his hand, signaled Hongqing to retreat by himself, and then straightened his waist, got up, looked around at all the courtiers, and after giving a command with a smile, he raised his feet and went down to the high platform.
The old man's interest was obviously very high, and he stayed in various positions for a long time, not only experiencing the power of the return needle gun, but also chatting with many soldiers who participated in the military exercise for a while. When the magnates saw that the old man was happy, they were all happy to accompany him, and the compliments really didn't stop, but Hongqing was always silent, and there was nothing to do, just because the old man's will today was really too strange.
If Hongqing is an ordinary dragon grandson, it is not a big deal to participate in the war or not, then Hongqing is the eldest son of the third master, then the problem is not so simple - it is the rule of heaven that the prince is not in charge of the army, even if the emperor is mediocre, he will not make such a mistake, unless the emperor himself is tired of life, and intends to let the old things of Xuanwumen repeat again, I didn't see that Emperor Tang Ming let the prince take charge of the army during the Anshi Rebellion, what was the result? Poor Emperor Tang Ming was stunned by his own son usurped the throne, and finally ended up starving to death in the palace, it is obvious that the old man is a saint and a master of the Ming will never make such a mistake, so that the meaning of Hongqing's participation in the war is a little difficult to understand.
"What does Huang Ama mean, why did he let Qing'er go to the country of Wa in a good manner?"
Not to mention that Hongqing was puzzled by the old man's sudden will, even the third master, who had always been relatively dull, felt that there was something strange inside, and when he was in Nanhaizi, he didn't dare to ask more, but as soon as he returned to his own house, the third master couldn't hold it back, and summoned all the two major strategists.
"Don't worry, I think it's the little prince's military exercise that shows his great military strategy, Your Majesty intends to cultivate the little prince, so there should be no other meaning."
As soon as the third master asked, Hongqing was already in doubt, and he would not rush to answer, and Old Master Chen had no intention of opening his mouth, and there was immediately an unbearable silence in the study.
"Well...... Master, do you have any thoughts on this?"
The third master was obviously not very satisfied with Li Minquan's fact-based answers, but the third master himself was also ignorant, and it was difficult for him to comment on Li Minquan's conclusion, so he let out a sigh of relief and threw the question to the silent old master Chen.
"The ancients had a cloud: the edge of the sword is sharpened out, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and those who have not been baptized by the battle array can not know that it is not easy to be peaceful, Your Majesty has good intentions for this move."
Old Master Chen did not say it explicitly, but held his long beard in his hand and sighed with emotion, and there were already a lot of hints in his words.
"Mr. means ......"
The third master is not stupid, he can understand the subtext of Old Master Chen's words, and he can't help but be happy in his heart, but he is not sure of the fact, so he hesitated to ask half of the words.
"I can't say anything about this matter, the third master knows it in his heart, what should be done and what should be done, if the clues are revealed, it is inevitable that a big disaster will come."
Seeing that the third master had a look of surprise on his face, Old Master Chen couldn't help but glance at him, frowned, and taught him a lesson unceremoniously.
"Huh, ......, the master has taught me a lesson, and Xiao Wang knows what to do."
The third master was really afraid of Old Master Chen's harshness, so he hurriedly let out a sigh of relief and sincerely admitted his mistake.
"If the little prince really goes to Dongying, the Ministry of Industry may have to make arrangements."
Seeing the third master's face, Li Minquan was afraid that the third master would be aggrieved, so he hurriedly interrupted from the side.
"Well, Zicheng Si said very much, although this expedition is next year's event, but the military affairs are busy, and there are a lot of things to prepare, and it is difficult for the Ministry of Industry to have a comprehensive situation, so I really have to take precautions, does Qing'er have any plans for this?"
Hearing Li Minquan say this, the third master thought it was true, in his opinion, the fourth master and Hongli are not idle people, nine times out of ten they will take advantage of Hongqing's absence in the Ministry of Industry to play some conspiracy, if the Ministry of Industry such a piece of territory is really lost, for the third master, it is obviously more than worth the loss, and he has to pay attention to it.
Uh-huh, that's really the case, that kid in Hongli is not a good thing, and it's strange not to take the opportunity to make a name for himself!
Hongqing's previous thoughts were all on thinking about the old man's intentions, and he really didn't think about the Ministry of Industry, and when Li Minquan mentioned it like this, he immediately woke up.
"If you go back to your father's words, your son has a plan,......, if so, you will definitely be able to make that Hongli child take care of himself."
Facing the inquiring gaze of the third master, Hongqing only groaned slightly, and then explained the strategy in detail, although the words were peaceful, but the inside was full of confidence that could not be concealed.
"Hmm......, Zicheng, Master, do you two think Qing'er's plan can be successful?"
After listening to Hongqing's advice, even if the third master was moved, but the matter was big, the third master did not dare to make a decision, so he threw the problem to the two strategists.
"If you follow this strategy, there should be something to do, but you have to pay attention to the timing, if the little prince has not returned, and the Hongli child has done the work, I am afraid there will be the possibility of extraneous branches."
After thinking about it, Li Minquan cautiously raised a question.
"It doesn't matter, if this matter is so easy to settle, Your Majesty has already left, why delay until now, and just do it, there should be no big difference."
Old Master Chen obviously didn't care about Li Minquan's concerns, and gave a positive answer with a wave of his hand.
"Well, that's good, let's just make it so for the time being, even if you want to close the coffin, you have to go through the court meeting, and if you can't do it, you will see it when the court talks about it."
The third master obviously had more trust in Old Master Chen's judgment, and after thinking about it for a while, he didn't hesitate any longer, so he waved his hand arrogantly and made a decision......
"What is the Emperor Ama going to do? It's not enough to go to the old thirteen, but let Hongqing, who has not grown all the hair, also go to Zhengdong, child's play, it's too child's play! ”
Two flowers bloomed, each with a branch, not to mention that the third master was gathering people to discuss matters, but said that after the fourth master came out of the palace, he hurried back to his own house, invited Wu Sidao to the study, and babbled about all the things that happened today.
"The edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of the plum blossom comes from the bitter cold; Your Majesty's intentions are really good! ”
Wu Sidao always listened quietly to the fourth master's statement, until the fourth master scolded angrily, Wu Sidao shook his head, and sighed with a bitter face, which was almost exactly the same as what Old Master Chen said.
"Well, what do you mean by that, sir?"
The fourth master is smart by nature, and as soon as he heard Wu Sidao's emotion, he immediately realized that the general trend was a little wrong, and his heart sank, and his already ugly face suddenly became even more ugly.
"Don't worry, there are two sides to everything, this time His Majesty sent that Hongqing child to the East, although there is an intention to cultivate it, but there is no lack of ideas to give Hongli Shizi a stage, as for whether the prince can rise, it depends on this experience."
Wu Sidao waved his hand, and did not explain much about his previous feelings, but gave a judgment with a solemn expression.
"This ......"
The fourth master hoped that Wu Sidao could change his previous feelings, but he also knew that the truth was really what Wu Sidao said, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis......
