The sky is close to dusk, the remnant sun is like blood, reflecting the original turquoise pond as red as blood, a few remnant lotus branches stand upright, swaying with the wind out of a group of desolation, perhaps infected by this scene, obviously a peaceful song "Flat Sand and Falling Geese", stunned by Lu Chunyan played a little bit of sadness, the third elder brother who came in a hurry couldn't help but pause. 《

"The prince is here, sit down."

At the end of the song, Lu Chunyan finally raised his head and gestured with no expression.

"Sir, do you have something on your mind?"

The third elder brother was not reserved, but when he saw him walking into the Linchi Pavilion with a smile, he lifted the hem of his robe, and sat on the futon opposite Lu Chunyan, and then shook his wide sleeves in a chic manner, and asked very compassionately.

"It's nothing, it's just an occasional feeling, don't talk about this, what did Master Li say?"

Lu Chunyan obviously didn't want to discuss his own state of mind, so after a perfunctory remark, he changed the topic.

"Just as Mr. expected, Lord Li is here to pass on the message of Emperor Amma, and what he wants is to let Xiao Wang fight his eldest brother to the end in court discussions."

Seeing that Lu Chunyan was asking about business, the smile on the third elder brother's face immediately flickered, and he replied with a solemn face.

"Well, what is the prince going to do?"

Lu Chunyan did not comment on the words of the third elder brother, but quietly asked down.

"Sir, the second child's face, Xiao Wang can not give it, but Master Li has already opened his mouth, this ......"

Although it was agreed yesterday not to interfere in this court discussion, it was for the second elder brother's proposal, and now, not only with Emperor Chengde's secret message, but also mixed with Li Minquan's face, the third elder brother couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.

"Lord Li's face? Oh, it seems that the prince still doesn't understand what the division between master and servant should be, just such a mentality, if you want to compete with Prince Ren, I'm afraid there is no hope at all. ”

As soon as the third elder brother hesitated, a sneering smile immediately appeared on the corner of Lu Chunyan's mouth, and he unceremoniously gave him a slap in the face.

"Xiao Wang doesn't know, please ask Mr. for guidance."

As soon as he heard Lu Chunyan say so much, the third elder brother couldn't help but be stunned, and his face was slightly unpleasant and he arched his hand towards Lu Chunyan, seemingly politely asking for advice, but in fact, it was obviously a little unconvinced.

"The prince is not convinced? Oh, that's good, Lu will talk about the prince. ”

As soon as the third elder brother came out with such a small appearance, the sarcastic smile on the corner of Lu Chunyan's mouth immediately became a little thicker, he reached out and stroked the long beard on his chest, and analyzed unhurriedly: "The way of the emperor lies in the combination of grace and power, rewards and punishments, this one, it is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, without him, human affection, just take Li Minquan as a good person, this life is a moment of thin temperament, although a little talented, but most of them are poisonous for use, can be successful, although there is the power of today's support, however, more I am afraid that it is the promotion of Prince Ren, But he was able to betray Prince Ren, is it because of your talent? No, the reason why he showed favor to the prince is nothing more than the reuse of the prince of benevolence, looking at the current elder brother, in addition to the prince, he Li Minquan is no longer the one to rely on, yes, the prince is the master, Li Minquan is just a servant, use it, don't use it, what can it do? Can you still return to Prince Ren's command? I'm afraid I can't stop, even so, why does the prince need to look at his face, besides, the prince has not yet gathered the hearts of all the courtiers, how can he see a high level with Prince Ren and force himself, but he is looking for a dead end, and he must not do it! ”

"The lesson of the gentleman is that Xiao Wang knows what to do."

The third elder brother is not a dull person, this time Lu Chunyan has already said it so clearly, he will not understand, and in addition to being embarrassed, he will be sincere in his answer.

"Don't worry, Lu hasn't finished speaking, heh, Li Minquan's face or not, although it doesn't matter, however, after all, I can't help but express it, the rest of the people can not move, but Arsonga and Nalan Xuxu have to do their best, so they can be regarded as able to give an explanation today."

Hearing the third elder brother's statement, Lu Chunyan smiled, waved his hand, and gave the final suggestion unhurriedly.

"Wonderful, as Mr. said."

As soon as Lu Chunyan's suggestions came out, the third elder brother was stunned at first, but soon he understood the strange thing, there is no other, Arsonga and Nalan Kuoxu are the backbone of the Eight Masters Party, and now the case of the Eight Masters is still under trial, it is really difficult to ensure that the two are not implicated, if they can firmly stand on the side of Emperor Chengde in this court discussion, they can escape, and with the help of these two people, his third elder brother can also become the head of the second largest force in the court, given time, it is not possible to wrestle with Hongqing, because of this, The third elder brother would not have any objections to what Lu Chunyan said, and as soon as he slapped his high-five, he had already made the final decision with a smile on his face......

"The prince is here."

At the end of the unitary time, the sky was already dark, the inner study of the Summer Palace was brightly lit, and the old master Chen in a white robe sat alone in front of a few sons, playing chess leisurely, until a rather heavy footsteps sounded, the old master Chen raised his head when he heard the sound, and this time he saw that the person who came was Hongqing, and immediately showed a pleased smile on his face, and greeted him very kindly.

"I've seen the master."

After a few days of continuous rotation, Rao is Hongqing has been boiling out of his good body since he was a child, and he is already a little tired, Yingting's face is full of tiredness that cannot be concealed, and there is a faint sadness between his eyebrows, which shows that the mood is not very good, but even so, Hongqing has not forgotten the etiquette, but after seeing him politely salute and say hello, he sat cross-legged on the futon opposite Old Master Chen.

"Is the prince still worried about the court meeting the next morning?"

Old Master Chen glanced at Hongqing meaningfully, smiled and asked.

"Master Mingjian, all kinds of matters, the apprentices have already arranged, but I don't worry about the court not being able to pass the meeting, but the court is fighting, but I am afraid that the people's hearts will be scattered, and there will be chaos in the future, it is really better to ......, um......"

In the face of Old Master Chen's questioning, Hongqing didn't hide much, although he didn't finish the words, but he was obviously extremely tired of the current situation that was constantly involved, and the words of the old things of Xuanwumen were almost blurted out, just thinking of Old Master Chen's resolute opposition to this matter, Hongqing finally didn't say these words, just sullenly sighed.

"The prince is too worried, this court dispute is just a one-sided situation, and there will never be any big waves at all."

Even if Hongqing didn't finish the words, how could he not guess Hongqing's unfinished words with the wisdom of Old Master Chen, but Old Master Chen didn't pay attention to it, but put forward a sentence on a case-by-case basis.

"Perhaps."

Hongqing has never been worried about this court discussion, no side, just with the strength in his hands, even if it is not military power, it is not something that Emperor Chengde can shake, even if he adds all the brothers together, it is not worrying, what really annoys Hongqing is that under such a situation of continuous party strife, the booming economy in the country will be greatly affected, compared to the old things of Xuanwumen, it seems that the difference is not much bigger.

"The prince and relax himself, in this court discussion, only the fourth father and son will do their best, as for the rest of the forces, it is none of their business, most of them are just sitting and watching, and there will be no difference, after this incident, it must be time to stop for some time, the prince has something to arrange, you can go calmly, once the military affairs are completed, the overall situation will be decided."

Although Hongqing's interest was not high, Old Master Chen didn't care, but patiently spoke of relief.

"Well, Master is right, and that's it."

What Old Master Chen said was a painstaking effort, and Hongqing could understand it, although he was a little unwilling, he could only accept it......

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here."

At the end of the time, the night was already a little deep, but Emperor Chengde did not go to bed, Wuzi was pacing with his head bowed in the study, and he was worried about himself, but he heard a rush of footsteps, Li Dequan had already hurriedly walked out from behind the screen, rushed to the front of the palace, and whispered a word.

"Hmm, Xuan."

Hearing that Dong E's family had arrived, Emperor Chengde's frowning brows immediately raised, and there was no nonsense, and with a wave of his hand, he was already straightforward.

"Wow."

As soon as Emperor Chengde's golden mouth opened like this, Li Dequan didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly responded respectfully, hurriedly withdrew from the study, and without turning his heels, he saw Dong E, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, leading several palace maids to come in from outside.

"The concubine knocks to see Your Majesty."

Dong E's family walked in front of Emperor Chengde, and Yingying Land was a blessing.

"The queen doesn't have to be polite, and she is exempt."

Emperor Chengde was a little afraid of the dragon when he was diving, and he invited Dong E's family at this time, so he had to ask for someone, even if he was annoyed in his heart, he had to squeeze out a few strong smiles, and he called out politely.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long."

Hearing Emperor Chengde's call, Dong E's family also got up, but he didn't ask Emperor Chengde's intention to ask, just looked at Emperor Chengde calmly.

"The queen should have heard about it, I plan to let the second child and the boy from Hongli go to manage the Ministry of Industry together, which can be regarded as sharing my worries, but I never thought that Qing'er had quite an objection to this, colluded with many courtiers, and wanted to make a forcible move, I was in turmoil, what does the queen have to say about this?"

Being stared at by Dong E's autumn-like eyes, Emperor Chengde felt ashamed for no reason, and his old face was slightly red, but after obviously hesitating for a while, he still asked a question.
