Chapter 999: Tranquility (2)
For such a strict master as Old Master Chen, Emperor Chengde has always been a little afraid, at the same time, he can't help but be a little dissatisfied, no side, on the occasion of his accession to the throne, Emperor Chengde is bent on pulling Old Master Chen into the court for his own use, but he didn't expect Old Master Chen to not appreciate it, insisted on staying by Hongqing's side, and this, obviously, is a taboo of Emperor Chengde, but Old Master Chen has the identity of a teacher, Emperor Chengde really didn't dare to do anything, It can only be pretending to play a trick of alienation out of sight, and now, at this delicate juncture, hearing the arrival of Old Master Chen, Emperor Chengde's heart can't help but mutter, first, he is worried that Old Master Chen will be responsible in person, and second, he is also afraid that he is here to say something for Hongqing's superiority, so he doesn't think much about his request to see, but the words of refusal come to his mouth, but he is stunned and has no courage to say it, so he can only hesitate awkwardly there. (.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the master must have come for this matter of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and with his wisdom, there must be a good solution to this misfortune, why don't Your Majesty listen to the master's opinion."
Li Minquan and Chen Laofuzi have worked together for many years, although the relationship between them is not good, but in the end, they know the roots, in Li Minquan's view, Chen Laofuzi is a great Confucian, and he does not want to see the repetition of the old things in Xuanwumen, therefore, his appearance at this time should also be conducive to Emperor Chengde to stabilize the situation, in terms of today's situation, there are only benefits, there is no possibility of inappropriateness, in view of this, this Emperor Chengde did not react for a long time, Li Minquan was a little unable to hold back, and hurriedly admonished from the side.
"Well...... then declare it."
Hearing Li Minquan's words, although Emperor Chengde was reluctant, he could only open his golden mouth with a slight frown.
"Wow!"
Since Emperor Chengde has a will, Li Dequan did not dare to delay a little, hurriedly bowed down to answer the promise, and hurriedly withdrew from the Palace of Nourishing Heart, and after a while, he was already accompanied by the old master Chen in a white robe from the outside.
"Old decay knocks on Your Majesty."
Although the old master Chen is the identity of the emperor, but after all, he is already the courtier of Zhishi, on the occasion of such a palace, the number of etiquette can still not be saved, this time to see Emperor Chengde come forward, since he did not dare to be rude, hurriedly walked a few steps, grabbed the front of the palace, and wanted to pay a big salute.
"I can't help it, I can't help it, the master is my teacher, and I really can't afford your courtesy, and I will be exempted from it."
Emperor Chengde has always cherished feathers, how dare he really let Old Master Chen give himself such a big gift, if it spreads, a bad reputation of "not respecting teachers and respecting the way" will fall on his head Emperor Chengde, besides, at this time, Emperor Chengde still has to ask Old Master Chen, he didn't dare to put on the emperor's shelf, not waiting for Old Master Chen to kneel, Emperor Chengde was already in a hurry to rush forward, and politely reached out to support Old Master Chen's arm.
"Old man, thank you, Your Majesty."
Although Old Master Chen got up with the momentum of Emperor Chengde's support, the words of gratitude were still not omitted.
"Master doesn't have to be formal, I've been looking forward to you for a long time, and I've been thinking about going to Qing'er's Mansion to see you, but I'm afraid of being disturbed, so I delayed it, but fortunately, the master is here today, and I can be regarded as getting what I wanted.
Emperor Chengde never moved his hand to hold the old master Chen, put on a respectful appearance, greeted him politely, and shouted loudly to order the eunuchs waiting on the side to send coffee tables, futons and other things, and invited the old master Chen to the upper seat very courteously, but he himself sat in the lower place.
"Master, please use tea!"
Emperor Chengde's hospitality was not only in giving up his seat, but when the little eunuchs served tea, he took it with his own hands, held it with both hands, and handed it to Old Master Chen, showing the humility of a disciple.
"Your Majesty is gracious."
For Emperor Chengde's courtesy, although the old master Chen is courteous, but his face is always very indifferent, and he is not in a hurry to explain his intentions, after thanking him, he will taste the tea unhurriedly, as if he has nothing to do, as if he is a special trip here to taste tea.
"Master, there have been a lot of turmoil in the court recently, I think the master should already know about it, and I won't talk much here, now, chaos is about to start, I don't know what the master can teach me?"
Emperor Chengde was worried about something in his heart, and after a few greetings, he waved his hand and drove all the eunuchs and eunuchs who were accompanying him out of the main hall, and bowed his hand to Old Master Chen with a respectful face, and said a word of sincerity and advice.
"How is Your Majesty's ability compared to the first emperor?"
Old Master Chen did not answer Emperor Chengde's question, but reached out and stroked the long beard on his chest, and asked slowly and logically.
"I'm afraid it's not as good as this ......."
As soon as he heard Old Master Chen's question, Emperor Chengde's face couldn't help but become quite embarrassed, and after hesitating for a while, he still gave an answer honestly.
"Well, how does Your Majesty's ability compare to Prince Zhiren?"
Old Master Chen did not comment on Emperor Chengde's answer, but asked another question unhurriedly.
"This, this ......"
Emperor Chengde really wanted to say that he was stronger than Hongqing, but unfortunately he didn't believe these words, how could he dare to say it in front of Old Master Chen, but if Emperor Chengde wanted to admit that he was not as good as Hongqing, he really couldn't let go of his face, and he was so embarrassed for a while that he was left with only a fragment.
"Your Majesty is not as good as the above, and it is not as good as the bottom, even so, is it not good to cure without doing anything?"
Old Master Chen didn't give Emperor Chengde much face, and he didn't care that his old face was already flushed, and he gave him a slap in the face with a straight face, and his voice was slightly cold.
"The master's lesson is yes, but, well, it's just that I can't help myself, this time the Jiumen Admiral's prison was robbed, and the government and the opposition were shaken, although I have asked Qing'er to deal with this matter, but there is really some underlining in my heart, and I still ask the master to take a plan or two for me?"
Emperor Chengde has been on the throne for nearly four years, and he has not seen much progress in his ability, but when it comes to his heart, he is no longer the good student in front of the old master Chen back then.
"Since Your Majesty has asked Prince Ren to deal with this matter, then it is better to simply let him be responsible for the end, so why worry so much."
In fact, if it were not for the smooth continuation of the transfer of power, Old Master Chen was really too lazy to come to see Emperor Chengde, and seeing that he had no intention of repenting, Old Master Chen didn't want to talk more, so he simply mentioned something.
"The Master's Meaning is ......"
Although Emperor Chengde's pattern is on the small side, he is not a stupid person, although Old Master Chen has never said it explicitly, he has understood the meaning, but he understands and understands, and he is still very worried in his heart, so he tentatively asked half of the words.
"You can do nothing to do something, Your Majesty can do it yourself, all you have to say, listen or not, Your Majesty can choose by yourself, and the old man will leave."
The point has been mentioned, the old master Chen didn't want to stay longer, shook his robe, got up, and explained a sentence without a word, and then left Shi Shiran, Emperor Chengde saw this, first stunned, and then the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, and he had a heart to call, but at the end, he didn't say anything, and his face changed like a kaleidoscope.
"Your Majesty."
As soon as the figure of Old Master Chen turned out of the palace door, he saw that Li Minquan, who was originally hiding between the front hall and the back hall, had already turned out from the inside.
"Did you hear that?"
Hearing the sound, Emperor Chengde recovered from the embarrassing predicament, glanced at Li Minquan with a slight frown, and asked a question in a cold voice.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what the master said is very true, at this delicate moment, more things are better than less things, let's see how Prince Ren will try the case and then think about it."
Li Minquan had been persuading Emperor Chengde not to stir up trouble in this case before, but Emperor Chengde was with him, but he couldn't listen to the advice, which really made Li Minquan anxious and empty, and now, even if it was Old Master Chen's advice, Li Minquan would not have any objections at all, and hurriedly responded.
"Humph!"
Emperor Chengde actually had the intention of retreating in his heart, but the fire in his heart was very difficult to dissipate, and he did not respond to Li Minquan's admonition, but snorted impatiently, and paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back....... ”
"Your Majesty Shengming, Weichen thinks that Zhang Tingyu is old and serious, and he should be the deputy of Prince Ren, and I also ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment."
Although Emperor Chengde had already issued an order to expel the guest, Li Minquan still didn't dare to take it lightly, no side, the only person he could rely on at the moment was Emperor Chengde, and he couldn't help but worry that Emperor Chengde would be arrogant, so he hurriedly made another remark.
"Prepare an edict."
Emperor Chengde originally wanted to struggle again, but at the end he still didn't have the courage, so he could only wave his hand and make a final decision weakly.
"Yes, Wechen obeys."
Seeing that Emperor Chengde finally stopped, the big stone hanging in Li Minquan's heart fell to the ground, and he didn't dare to slack off a little, so he hurriedly bowed down and agreed.
