Hongqing still didn't give the old thirteen a word of truth to the end, even if the old thirteen tried a few times later, but unfortunately it was all useless, not Hongqing's hypocrisy, but Zhao Fengzhao's case is not small, and it involves a lot, under unknown circumstances, how can Hongqing easily give a clear promise, besides, even if Hongqing wants to make a move, it will not be possible, it is a big matter, and after all, the third master must nod to make it happen, otherwise, if the third master is suspicious, the consequences must not be easy to play.

"The child knocks to his father."

Hongqing had a concern in his heart, and the wine was naturally not very enjoyable, but he was not half of the time, so he found an excuse to resign, and did not return to the city, but took a carriage to the Summer Palace, and asked the third master to know that he was still in the study, and rushed straight away, just turned out of the screen at the door of the study, and saw that the third master was splashing ink and inscribed the deputy middle hall, Hongqing's feet slowed slightly, and after the third master put down the pen, he rushed forward and saluted respectfully.

"Yo, Qing'er is here, what's the matter, didn't you say you wanted to go back to the house today?"

Seeing that Hong is sunny arrived, the third master couldn't help but be stunned, and asked suspiciously.

"Back to the father's words, the child was really going back to the city, but just got off work, the thirteenth uncle came to invite, the child couldn't cut it, so he went, during the banquet, the thirteenth uncle had a request, the child did not dare to decide, and he came to ask the father to make it clear."

The third master asked, Hongqing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stated the matter briefly.

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

The third master has always attached great importance to the old thirteen who is quite powerful in the army, and he also has the intention to pull it to his own side, because of this, this is the old thirteen has been entrusted, and the third master's interest immediately rose, and he hurriedly asked questions.

"So that my father will know that this is the case, the thirteenth uncle and the household secretary Zhao Shenqiao have an old relationship, and he said that he had owed him a favor, this time Zhao Fengzhao, the second son of Lord Zhao, was impeached by Su Keji, the governor of Shanxi, saying that he was greedy for more than 300,000 taels of silver, and the matter has been troubled to the Huangma Fa, and the thirteenth uncle zi ji is inconvenient to come forward, so he asked the child to care about the case, the matter is big, the child really does not dare to Meng Lang to admit it, yi qiē should be the father in charge."

Hongqing originally came to ask the third master to make a decision, and there would be nothing to hide, so he concisely said the matter of the thirteenth master's request.

Zhao Fengzhao's case is now being rumored, the third master will not know, at this time, when he heard that the matter asked by the old thirteen was actually this case, the third master inevitably hesitated, no side, this case seems simple on the surface, but the background is quite complicated, the problem seems to be Zhao Fengzhao, but in fact, the spearhead is aimed at Zhao Shenqiao.

Zhao Shenqiao is upright, and there are a lot of people who have offended the government and the opposition, not only the nobles of the Shanxi sub-banner have a grudge against Zhao Shenqiao, but many officials in the DPRK and China also have a lot of complaints about Zhao Shenqiao, even Fang Bao also has some old grudges with Zhao Shenqiao, not to mention the fourth master, since Zhao Shenqiao went to the household department, but there were many quarrels with the fourth master, in other words, Zhao Shenqiao can be said to be an enemy on all sides in the court, and the reason why he has been able to stand in the court is because of the old man's trust in him, but right now, this case can come out, Obviously, the old man's favor to him is no longer what it used to be, and it is obviously a little unwise to meddle in this case at the moment, but then again, if you can accept the heart of the old thirteen, even if you can't pull the Zhao family father and son into your own camp, it is worth it, and the pros and cons are mixed, and the third master can't help but hesitate.

"Well...... someone!"

After the third master hesitated for a while, he still didn't dare to make a decision easily, so he frowned and broke his throat loudly.

"The minions are here!"

Hearing the sound, Mo Yu, the scholar who was waiting outside the study, didn't dare to delay a little, hurriedly walked into the study, grabbed the copywriter, and respectfully promised.

"Go, and invite the master and Mr. Li together."

The third master didn't talk nonsense, and gave the order straightforwardly.

"Wow!"

Hearing the third master's order, Mo Yu didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly answered, and hurriedly withdrew from the study.

"Master, Zicheng, Xiao Wang has a difficult matter to decide, and I asked the two of you to help analyze one or two, well, here's the thing, today the old thirteen invited Qing'er to go, saying that he wanted to ask Qing'er to take care of Zhao Fengzhao's case, do you two have any advice on this?"

After some polite greetings, the two strategists all sat down, and the third master didn't say much, and clearly stated the theme of the discussion.

"The prince is clear, his subordinates think that this case is not small, and rashly intervene in it, I am afraid that there will be many obstacles, and with the current power of the prince, he only needs to think about it slowly, and he will not need to worry too much, and he thinks that everything should be done in a safe way, and he can sit and watch."

Li Minquan obviously disapproved of meddling in this case, no, as soon as the third master's voice fell, he already gave a suggestion to sit back and ignore it.

"Well, what Zicheng said is quite reasonable, but the old thirteen has opened his mouth, if he doesn't express it, he is afraid that he will have resentment, so what should he do?"

Why didn't the third master know that the background of this case was complicated, and he rashly intervened in the process, the outcome was actually unpredictable, and it was even more difficult to say between gains and losses, but he just let go of the opportunity to win over the old thirteen so inactively, and the third master was a little unwilling, so he asked in a deep voice.

"It's good to think that it should be a hypocrisy, with the status of the prince, one more than thirteen masters, it's just the icing on the cake, it's good to have it, and it doesn't hurt if you don't."

Li Minquan could hear where the third master was thinking, but he still didn't care much, and explained bluntly.

Oh, this guy is too underestimating the old thirteen!

For Li Minquan's analysis, Hongqing generally agrees, but in the judgment of the old thirteen, Hongqing has a different view - the old thirteen is a rare talent among the children of the heavenly family, and his ability is not worse than the fourth master and others, and compared with the fifth master and the twelfth master, it is even stronger than the boss, but this is not where Hongqing attaches great importance to it, there is no other, there are more talented people all over the world, but it is not worse than the old thirteen people, as for the military potential it grasps, it is not what Hongqing values the most, What really makes Hongqing appreciate the old thirteen is loyalty, as long as he can make him return to his heart, he will not be afraid that he will have rebellious measures, and this is the fundamental reason why Hongqing will be somewhat interested in intervening in Zhao Fengzhao's case, of course, on such occasions, in order to avoid the suspicion of the third master, Hongqing will not come forward to refute Li Minquan's assertion, and just listen quietly.

"What does the Master think?"

Hearing Li Minquan's words, the third master thought it was true, and his intention to win over the thirteenth man suddenly faded, but he did not make a decision immediately, but threw the problem to the old master Chen who was sitting silently on the side.

"What does the little prince think about the case itself?"

Old Master Chen did not answer the third master's question, but turned his gaze to Hongqing, and asked indifferently.

"Master Mingjian, the student in this case only read the bullet seal yesterday, and the specific circumstances of the case still need to be clarified, however, according to the student, there are many doubts in this case, and I am afraid that there are other strange things, and it should be mostly a fake case."

Although Hongqing did not pay much attention to this case, he had many years of experience in judging the case, and he could see that there was something difficult to say about it in the bullet seal on the Shanxi Governor Su Keji, but whether this was caused by Su Keji's negligence or a false cover-up, there was no way to judge, Hongqing did not dare to say it too hard, so he could only give a dà gài judgment.

"Well, is the old friendship between the Thirteenth Master and Zhao Shenqiao really true?"

Old Master Chen did not comment on Hongqing's judgment, but just spoke noncommittally, and then asked again.

"Yet to be checked."

Although Hongqing trusted the character of the old thirteen, he didn't dare to take it lightly, and he was very cautious when he answered Old Master Chen's question.

"Then according to you, if you help the Thirteenth Master this time, can you ensure that he returns to his heart?"

Old Master Chen nodded thoughtfully, but he still didn't say anything to comment, and after being silent for a moment, he asked the most crucial question.

"If the friendship between the thirteenth uncle and Zhao Shenqiao is true, there should be fifty percent certainty, even if it can't, it should not be possible to throw himself to the fourth uncle's side."

Old Master Chen's question was extremely sharp, Hongqing didn't dare to answer casually, and after thinking silently for a while, he cautiously gave the answer, but no, such an answer is actually incomplete, in fact, if the old thirteen will really return to the heart, it is not to return to the third master, but to return to his Hongqing, the difference is not small, of course, it doesn't matter before the third master ascends the throne, but after the third master ascends the throne, it will be very different, but the mystery is not enough for outsiders, Hongqing couldn't be stupid enough to explain it in detail.

"Fifty percent? That's not too small, so why not give it a try? ”

Old Master Chen is the supreme wise man in the world, although Hongqing did not finish the words, but he knew the strange thing as soon as he heard it, but he did not break it, but reached out and stroked the long beard on his chest, and gave advice in an indifferent tone.

"This ......"

As soon as he heard that Old Master Chen's suggestion was diametrically opposed to Li Minquan, the third master couldn't help but be stunned, and he really didn't know who to listen to for a while.

"The prince must know that a thousand armies are easy to get, and the thirteenth master is also a great talent, if you want to use it, you must have a bearing that ordinary people can't reach, today, although Zhao Fengzhao's case is difficult, but it is not necessarily impossible to turn over, with the ability of the little prince to judge the case, there is a lot to do, however, how to act must be carefully considered, according to the old man's opinion, first contact Zhao Shenqiao, and then it is not too late to calculate."

Old Master Chen explained with a solemn face, but in the end, he did not suggest that the third master take immediate action, but cautiously put forward a suggestion to understand the case first and then make a calculation.

"Well, okay, this matter will be handled by Qing'er, if there is anything, we will go back and discuss it."

The third master thought about it, and also felt that the current situation was unclear, and it was really not suitable to make a judgment, so he didn't hesitate any longer, and kicked the matter to Hongqing's feet.

"Yes, the boy obeys!"

Since the third master ordered so, Hongqing didn't dare to ignore it, so he hurriedly bowed down and agreed.
