Chapter 629: What Should Come Will Come (2)
"Your Majesty, Prince Cheng, Prince Yong, and Liu Qian, the squire of the military department, please see you outside the palace gate."
In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the imperial banquet has been opened, and the old man who has just changed into civilian clothes is sitting on the dragon chair, holding silver chopsticks, and is preparing to have a raw meal, but the first chopsticks have not yet started, and he saw Qin Wuyong hurriedly coming in from outside the palace, and rushed to the front of the palace, bowed down, and hurriedly reported a sentence.
"Huh?"
Recently, the situation has been stable, nothing major has happened, the old man is happy to be idle, this afternoon is idle, so he called the third master and the fourth master to accompany him, and chanted the poem right, until the previous two elder brothers were sent away, and this time I heard that the two sons were going to meet again, and I couldn't help but be stunned.
"Your Majesty, Liu Shilang said that there was an urgent report from the northwest, and the third and fourth masters met Liu Shilang on the road, so they came together to ask for a meeting."
Seeing the old man's puzzled face, Qin Wuyong didn't dare to be a little lazy, and hurriedly explained it.
"Well, that's it."
As soon as he heard that this was the case, the old man didn't take it to heart, he waved his hand without necessity, and his tone was indifferent.
"Wow!"
Since the old man said this, Qin Wuyong didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly responded, and then hurriedly exited the main hall, and after a while, he already accompanied the third master and others from outside the hall.
"Erchen (Weichen) knocks to see Huang Ama (Your Majesty)!"
The group waited for the hall, and saw that the old man was having a meal, and he didn't dare to lose his courtesy, so they all rushed to the front, and paid a big salute in a regular manner.
"What's the matter, let's talk about it."
The old man actually didn't like to be disturbed during the meal, and although he was allowed to meet everyone, he didn't give everyone a good voice, and he didn't even call out, so he asked in a cold tone.
"Your Majesty, the emergency military report from Xining has arrived, please take a look at it."
When the old man asked this, the third master and the fourth master didn't dare to answer randomly, they all closed their mouths, and Liu Qian saw this, so he could only helplessly become a bird.
"Hand it over."
The old man originally didn't care much about the emergency military report, in his mind, there were 50,000 troops on the march, no matter how urgent it was, it would not be urgent to the point of danger, and it was precisely because of this kind of self-confidence that he would behave extremely casually before, but when he heard Liu Qian's tone was obviously wrong, the old man was suspicious, so he put the silver chopsticks in his hand on the dragon case, raised his hand and made a move, and he already gave the order with a slight frown.
"Wow!"
As soon as the old man's Chrysostom opened like this, Qin Wuyong, who was waiting on the side, didn't dare to delay it slightly, respectfully agreed, walked down the front pier quickly, stretched out his hand to take the fold held by Liu Qian, and trotted all the way to the front of the palace, and handed the urgent report to the old man's hand.
"What, how can this be, Errent has mistaken the country! I, I ......"
The old man casually flipped through the fold, only glanced at it, his face turned white in an instant, Huo Ran stood up, slapped the dragon case angrily, and scolded angrily, and then a burst of dizziness struck, the old man's body shook, and he actually planted himself in the dragon case.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Seeing that the old man was about to fall, Qin Wuyong immediately panicked, hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hands to hug the old man's body, and called out anxiously.
"Pass on the Imperial Doctor, go and pass on the Imperial Doctor!"
As soon as the old man came out of this situation, the palace was suddenly in chaos, but the third master saw that he was fast, so he jumped up in a hurry, and roared loudly, and the little eunuch who was waiting on the side suddenly responded to the promise, rushed out of the hall, and ran towards the hospital quickly......
"Master, Mo Yu is here, saying that the old prince asked you to go to the study in the inner courtyard quickly."
At three o'clock, the night was already deep, but Hongqing did not go back to the room to rest, but paced back and forth in the study restlessly, and was restless, but saw the scholar watching the rain probe came out from behind the screen, cautiously came to Hongqing's side, and whispered a word.
"Hmm."
As soon as he heard the third master beckoning each other, Hongqing's heart immediately moved, and he had already guessed some roots, but he didn't say much, he just whispered quietly, raised his feet and walked out of the study, accompanied by the subordinates with lanterns, through the side door, all the way to the inner courtyard study of Prince Cheng's mansion, only then did he turn the screen at the door of the study, and saw the third master sitting on the top with a solemn face, talking in a low voice with Chen and Li's two major strategists, and what he said was the defeat of the front-line soldiers, and his footsteps couldn't help but be a meal.
"The child knocks to his father."
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the third master's eyes immediately swept towards the door, as soon as he saw this, Hongqing did not dare to lose his manners, hurriedly walked a few steps, and grabbed the front, which was a big salute to pay homage.
"Excuse me, sit down."
The third master is obviously very concerned, even if Hongqing's arrival can't make him smile at all, and his voice is quite anxious.
"Thank you for your father's throne."
Although he knew that the third master was worried, Hongqing didn't plan to say anything in a hurry, so he just thanked him in a proper manner, walked slowly to the back of a few sons on the side, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down.
"It's really called Qing'er to give the right information, the northwest army was defeated, the whole army was annihilated, Erlunte and Selen were all killed on the battlefield, 50,000 soldiers were blood-stained on the battlefield, Huang Ama heard the news, he was angry, he was already sick, and now the situation is critical, or he should be prepared, I don't know if Qing'er has any good strategy?"
The third master seemed to be worried, and when Hongqing sat down, he didn't say anything polite, and said the news directly, although the tone was low, but there was a faint glint in his eyes, obviously, the third master already had some ambition in his heart.
"How could you have lost so badly? This ......"
Hongqing had known about the defeat of the frontline for a long time, and the news he got was actually much more detailed than what the third master knew, but Hongqing didn't intend to expose the matter, but made a surprise and inexplicable glare, and exclaimed with surprise on his face.
"Alas, the emergency report that just arrived, Ama and the fourth child learned together, the thing is like this, it's a ...... today"
The third master was originally a little suspicious of Hongqing, but when he saw that Hongqing's face was full of surprise, it didn't seem to be fake, so he was relieved in his heart, so he sighed and babbled in detail about the situation of facing the saint with the fourth master.
"I see, the 50,000 army was wiped out, and Huang Mafa couldn't help but feel pain in his heart, and it was inevitable to raise a large army to fight again."
Although the third master is only talking about the facts, but the subtle changes in his expression can't hide Hongqing's observation, he won't not know where the little calculations in the third master's heart are, the left and right are just two points, one is that he is concerned about the old man's sick body, vaguely looking forward to the old man's can't afford it, and he can take advantage of the situation to ascend the throne, second, if the old man can survive this hurdle, then the third master can only retreat to the second thing to seek to take out the handsome seal of Zhengzhi, so the two thoughts are just delusions in Hongqing's opinion, but as a son of man, Hongqing is not easy to say that the third master is not, so he can only hint at a sentence on the facts.
"Well, with Huang Ama's temperament, it is inevitable to send troops to quell the rebellion again, does Qing'er dare to do it?"
The third master has already drilled into the tip of the horns at this time, how can he hear the hint in Hongqing's words, and he roared and showed his ambition to seize the military power, of course, this also can't complain about the third master's heart, after all, the old man is an old man, this is already over sixty years old, after being hit by this heavy setback, God knows how long it can be supported, if he does not control the military power in his hands, how can the third master's heart be down-to-earth, even if Hongqing has hinted that the old fourteen is the most suitable person to take command more than two months ago, The third master didn't want to just give up the struggle for military power, of course he couldn't do it himself, so he pinned all his hopes on Hongqing.
"Back to the words of the father, there is no one who dares to do it!"
Hongqing can understand the real worries of the third master, although he is very disappreciative in his heart, but when he answered the third master's question, he was very neat, and he looked like he could participate in the battle for the position of commander at any time, but while answering, he did not forget to compare Li Minquan with an extremely vague code.
"Prince, this matter must not be done like this, although the little prince is a martial artist, but must not participate in the battle for the commander, otherwise, he will be jealous, and there is really a big disadvantage in my Cheng Prince's Mansion!"
Li Minquan had already received a clear indication from Hongqing two days ago, and he knew what to say, but seeing that Hongqing's code had appeared, how could he dare to delay anything, and before the third master could say anything, he had already interrupted from the side in an urgent tone.
"Huh? What does Zicheng mean by this? Qing'er is not only proficient in martial arts, but also has the merit of leading troops to the east, and in terms of knighthood and ability, he should be the best candidate for the handsome position, so why not. ”
As soon as he heard Li Minquan's words, the third master was not happy, his brows furrowed, and he retorted in a rather unkind tone.
"The prince is clear, if the little prince is in command of the expedition, he will win or be able to win, but it is difficult to keep the villain in it, if the prince is on the book, His Majesty will not approve this proposal, but will be suspicious, it is not beautiful, it must not be done."
Seeing that the third master was showing signs of madness, Li Minquan couldn't help but feel a little panicked, but it was not easy to say that the third master was not, so he could only be sincere and vague, not only failed to relieve the third master's suspicions, but made the third master's already frowning brows suddenly wrinkle a little tighter.
"If the prince wants to give up on himself, then just go to the book."
Seeing that Li Minquan was a little uncontrollable of the third master's nonsense, Old Master Chen couldn't stand it anymore, so he interjected from the side in a cold voice, which immediately made the third master's old face flush......
