Chapter 1023 Ultimatum (3)
Just after noon, after lunch, Wu Sidao did not take a break as in the past, but sat behind a few children, holding a fold, reading carefully, and from time to time adding annotations in the blank space on the side, perhaps because he was too involved, he did not notice that the figure of the fourth master had appeared in the study. 〖〗
"Sir."
The fourth master waited silently for a while, and saw that Wu Sidao never raised his head, so he had to say hello.
"Yo, the prince is coming back, could it be that something has changed?"
Wu Sidao was aware of Emperor Chengde's plan to let all kinds of people encircle and suppress Hongqing today, and when he saw that the fourth master actually returned at such a time, he immediately keenly realized that something should have happened in the palace, and he didn't have any scruples, so he asked a straightforward question.
"Well, there is something strange, but the king can't see through it, don't hide it from Mr., here's how it ......"
Although the fourth master failed to understand what Hongqing and Emperor Chengde had discussed, he knew that there must have been a big change, otherwise, it would not have caused Emperor Chengde to drive everyone out of the palace in such a gaffe, and it was precisely because he was worried that things would be uncontrollable, so he would rush back to his own house, in order to discuss a countermeasure with Wu Sidao Haosheng, and there would be nothing to hide, so he hurriedly explained in detail what happened at the imperial banquet in Qianqing Palace today.
"Oh?"
After quietly listening to the fourth master's statement, Wu Sidao did not give a judgment on this, but quietly whispered, frowned, and pondered.
"Sir, but you've got it?"
When Wu Sidao bowed his head and groaned, the fourth master didn't dare to say anything to disturb, so he could only wait silently, after a long time, this time Wu Sidao finally raised his head, and he couldn't hold it back anymore, so he asked a question.
"Well, if what the prince said is correct, things should have reached a critical turning point, and the trend of the court situation will be known in the next few days!"
Wu Si nodded, and gave a conclusion with a solemn expression.
"This ......, Mr. means ......"
The fourth master is a smart person, and he actually has some ideas in his heart, but he is not sure, and when he hears Wu Sidao's method, his heart sinks, and his face suddenly looks a little unpleasant.
"I'm afraid things are really as the prince thinks, Prince Ren is forcing the palace!"
Wu Sidao is no one, even if the fourth master has nothing, he can see through what the fourth master thinks at a glance, and in one sentence, he broke the most worried thing in the fourth master's heart.
"It's forcing the palace again, that bastard thing is really disobedient to the extreme, it's tolerable, it's unbearable!"
Counting this time, Hongqing has played the trick of forcing the palace four or five times, Emperor Chengde is annoyed, and the fourth master is also angry enough, there is no side, because Hongqing is too strong, if he is on the throne, the fourth master's last hope will be in vain, and this is obviously not the result that the fourth master is willing to accept, if not, when the previous Jiumen Admiral Prison was robbed, the fourth master would not secretly help Emperor Chengde wipe his buttocks, but he didn't expect that it had just been more than a year, Hongqing actually came to such a hand again, It really made the fourth master a little angry, and he couldn't help but scold.
"Prince Ren wants money and money, he wants people, and he has hundreds of thousands of strong troops in his hands, if he really wants to rebel, no one can do anything about it, this is the reality, and it can't be easier to get annoyed."
Wu Sidao can understand the depression and irritability of the fourth master, but he obviously doesn't think that anger can solve everything.
"Well...... in my opinion, what should be the way this matter should be?"
The fourth master didn't know that anger couldn't solve the problem, but the anger in his heart couldn't be calmed down, but it was not good to attack indiscriminately, so he could only breathe out sullenly.
"Prince Ren is so aggressive, Your Majesty only has two ways to go, in general, it is just a slow and urgent strategy, and it is not uncommon to wear it."
Wu Sidao had thought about it for a long time before, and he had already considered the situation as a whole, and it would come out now, although his words were peaceful, but his heart was full of confidence.
"Oh? Wang is dull, and please ask Mr. to point out the maze. ”
As soon as he heard Wu Sidao's words, the fourth master's eyes suddenly lit up, obviously he had realized the strangeness, but he was not in a hurry to show it, but cautiously arched his hand towards Wu Sidao, and spoke very humbly to ask for advice.
"The prince should have seen it, the so-called delay, that is, no matter what Prince Ren asked for this time, let's respond to it first, as a strategy to delay the army, as for the urgency, that is, ......"
After Wu Sidao commented on a few words of mitigation, he did not go into detail, but raised his hand and made a downward cutting action.
"Well......, in Mr. Yi's opinion, how will the third guy choose?"
What the fourth master thought in his heart was no different from what Wu Sidao said, he would not have any objections to such judgments, and he would not waste his lips and tongue to get to the bottom of it, but continued to ask with a solemn expression.
"It's not good, I guess I'm also hesitating now, however, this is not the key, the real key is how you should deal with it, prince."
Although Wu Sidao has a good understanding of Emperor Chengde's temperament, it is really too difficult to make the choice of Emperor Chengde, after all, there are too many variables, or he Wu Sidao, I am afraid that Emperor Chengde himself does not know what choice to make.
"What do you mean by this ......?"
The fourth master obviously didn't expect that he would become the key to the matter, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but be stunned, frowning and thinking for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a clue, and in desperation, he could only ask with a suspicious face.
"The reason is very simple, in terms of the current situation, the prince is the only one who can untie the knot!"
Wu Sidao was not in a hurry to clarify the strange situation, but first gave a conclusion that surprised the fourth master.
"Ah......h
As soon as Wu Sidao's words came out, the fourth master was stunned, but he really didn't understand where these words came from.
"According to the prince, if you want to be ruthless today, can you really get Prince Ren?"
Wu Sidao ignored the fourth master's confusion, but asked a question to himself.
"This ......, well, there should be hope, but I'm afraid it's not big."
The fourth master also has such a dark force as "blood drops" in his hands, although both the scale and the strength are far less than the "sharp knife" in Hongqing's hands, but it is also quite strong, and he knows how huge the latent power in Hongqing's hands is.
"What the prince said is true, if you dare to move evil thoughts today, there is only one consequence, that is, to become the emperor, once this is the case, the prince, can you stop the reckoning of Prince Ren? I'm afraid it won't work, even so, the prince has only one choice, that is, to take the initiative to let such a bad hand in his hand, in order to prevent Jinshang from taking risks, and it can be regarded as helping Jinshang make a choice. ”
Wu Sidao didn't sell anything more this time, and gave a straightforward suggestion.
"Let the traveler? That's fine, but I'm afraid that the third guy may not be willing to give up? ”
The fourth master has just come back for less than half a year, although he has deployed some people in the second department of work and punishment, but after all, the foundation is still shallow, as for the army, although some nails have also been driven in, but at most there are a few middle and lower-level generals, and it will be difficult to survey for a while and a half, so he naturally does not want to sit and watch Hongqing take the position, from then on, he does not have much objection to letting the business envoy himself, but he obviously does not think that he can guarantee that Emperor Chengde will not do stupid things by giving up the business envoy.
"This prince does not need to worry, although he has repeatedly fought with Prince Ren today, however, in fact, there is not too much murderous intent in his heart, the person who is fighting for it is nothing more than the belonging of the authority of the court, unless he is desperate, he is resolutely unwilling to take a risk, there is a prince behind him to push, it will be good as a stream, not only that, but it will definitely make corresponding compensation for the high righteousness of the prince, if it is not bad, maybe the lack of the criminal department should be made up by the prince, but there are several years of operation, even if the big thing can not be done, It should also be self-preservation. ”
With Wu Sidao's wisdom, he could see what the fourth master was really worried about, but he didn't say it directly, but analyzed it unhurriedly, and by the way, he solved the fourth master's worries about losing power.
"Well, if that's the case, it's good, but Mr. said that the third life is short, and now it needs to be easier to deploy, so that the next day will change?"
Although Wu Sidao didn't know it, the fourth master knew that his mind had been guessed by him, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart, but fortunately, his face was thick enough, but he didn't show a very impressive look, so he just followed Wu Sidao's words and asked a question.
"This matter is not in a hurry, it is better to be busy with the next section first, if you can't get through this section, talk about the rest, but it's all empty talk, the prince still enters the palace as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will change if it drags on for a long time."
Wu Sidao was obviously quite dissatisfied with the performance of the fourth master, but he never directly refuted it, but just mentioned it with a solemn expression.
"Well, well, the king will go to the palace."
Being said by Wu Sidao like this, Rao is fourth master was thick-skinned, and he couldn't help but blush slightly, he didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly dropped a sentence of the scene, so he withdrew from the study, and rushed to the imperial city after taking a sedan chair......
