Chapter 1024: Ultimatum (2)
"Go, I've called Li Minquan, go, go!"
The thunderstorm is just a vent of love, but it is impossible to solve the problem, this one, even if it is still in anger, Emperor Chengde is also very clear, after driving away the fourth master and others with ghosts, Emperor Chengde immediately roared anxiously.
"Wow!"
Emperor Chengde said this, Qin Wuyong, who had just heard the movement, didn't dare to slack off when he rushed into the hall, so he hurriedly responded, and hurriedly rushed out of the hall again.
"Wechen knocks to see His Majesty!"
As Emperor Chengde's most confidant now, Li Minquan knows the purpose of Emperor Chengde's banquet today, but he doesn't know what changes have taken place during the period.
"Zicheng, something big happened, my heart is in turmoil, please help me Zicheng, I ......"
Emperor Chengde was reluctant to talk about Hongqing's ultimatum in front of the fourth master and others, because he knew very well that whether it was the fourth master or the third elder brother and others, they were not good at all, and they were not trustworthy at all, even if they said something, they would not be able to help, but they would take the opportunity to give birth to endless incidents, but in front of Li Minquan, the most trusted strategist, Emperor Chengde didn't have too many worries, and he couldn't even call it up, and he opened his mouth to tell the whole story.
"陛xià."
At this time, there are still a lot of eunuchs and inner guards in the hall, there are many people, obviously it is not a suitable occasion to talk about confidential matters, Li Minquan did not dare to risk leaking the news, seeing that Emperor Chengde was completely panicked, Li Minquan had to rush to call and interrupt the words of Emperor Chengde.
"Wait for all to retreat!"
Seeing Li Minquan's looking left and right, Emperor Chengde immediately came to his senses, waved his hand at the people waiting on the side, and broke his throat in an undoubted tone.
"Wow!"
Hearing Emperor Chengde's order, Qin Wuyong and the others did not dare to delay it slightly, and they all agreed to the promise, and they all withdrew from the main hall.
"Zicheng, it's urgent, Hongqing's guy came over before, saying that he wanted to play against me alone, I had no choice but to get it, but I didn't expect it to ......"
Emperor Chengde was very anxious, Qin Wuyong and the others had just retreated, and he couldn't wait to repeat the scene of the conversation with Hongqing in detail, completely forgetting that Li Minquan was still kneeling in the hall at this time.
"Your Majesty is not in a hurry, although the matter is dangerous, it is still within the controllable range, but if you plan carefully, you can turn the crisis into safety."
As soon as he heard that Hongqing actually issued an ultimatum, Li Minquan was also arrogant and surprised - this plan to unite the fourth master and the elder brother pit Hongqing was from his Li Minquan's plan, I thought that Hongqing could suffer a loss, but I didn't expect Hongqing to dare to make such a strong statement to force the palace, which is obviously completely different from what Li Minquan had imagined in advance, Rao is also a wise man, at first glance, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, but he didn't dare to show his cowardice in front of Emperor Chengde, can only support and comfort Emperor Chengde.
"Oh? Since Zicheng said so, there must be someone who teaches me, and he will talk to me and listen to it. ”
Emperor Chengde still has a lot of trust in Li Minquan's ability, otherwise, he would not have summoned Li Minquan to discuss matters in such a hurry.
"Your Majesty, the things in front of you are actually not difficult to deal with, Prince Ren is the Ministry of Works, His Majesty is to give him that, it is expected that it will not be an inch, according to Weichen, the real difficulty is the future."
Li Minquan deserves to be a man with outstanding resourcefulness, only thought about it for a while, and already had a plan in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it directly, but mentioned it meaningfully.
"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”
Emperor Chengde was not a dull person, and he could hear Li Minquan's words quite strangely, and when he was stunned for a moment, he looked at Li Minquan suspiciously, and then asked cautiously.
"Your Majesty Mingjian, a certain Prince Guanren and his people, known as a great ambition, when not a person who cares, he said that as long as the Ministry of Industry and military affairs are responsible, it should be so, the left and right of these two errands are now in addition to it, I am afraid that there is no one else to instruct, let it be allowed, it is not necessary to do anything, it is enough to deal with the immediate danger, but the future is another situation, Weichen does not know the end of His Majesty's intentions, and he really dare not speak falsely."
Li Minquan obviously had scruples, and did not dare to reveal the plan he was planning, except for explaining what he had said before in other words, he only gave a vague hint at the end.
"There are no outsiders here, Zicheng has anything to say, just say it directly, whether it is right or wrong, I am not guilty."
Hearing Li Minquan's words, Emperor Chengde's brows were even furrowed, and after a little thought, he already understood Li Minquan's scruples, so he kindly gave a promise.
"Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen bluntly, if you just want to be the Emperor of Taiping, then you might as well let Prince Ren control the government, otherwise, I am afraid that today's events will be staged, and at that time, Your Majesty will finally retreat."
Li Minquan was waiting for Emperor Chengde's promise, and now, once Emperor Chengde's golden mouth was opened, Li Minquan had no scruples, and after praising it, he hurriedly said his own judgment.
"Hmph, how can I be a puppet controlled by anyone, Zicheng doesn't have to hide it if he has any ideas, just say it."
The reason why Emperor Chengde and Hongqing have constant contradictions, in the final analysis, is just for the attribution of authority, with a person with a strong desire for power like Emperor Chengde, how can he be willing to hand over the power of the imperial court to others, even if it is Hongqing, the biological son of outstanding achievements, it is also impossible.
"Your Majesty Mingjian, the ministers think about it again and again, to solve this matter, when there are two slow and urgent strategies for His Majesty to consider, the former, it is also simple, His Majesty can first issue an order, Prince Ren acting in charge of various matters of the Ministry of Engineering, and in parallel to promote military affairs, in this way, when Prince Ren can be stabilized, and then, send the fourth master to the criminal department, at the same time, select more talents recommended by the elder brothers, so as to form a rivalry with Prince Ren in the court, perseverance, when it is not difficult to achieve the balance of the court, but it will take a long time, not three years and five years, I'm afraid it's hard to see miracle results, however, it's better to be stable, although the risk is there, but it's small, as for the urgency, that's ......"
Although Emperor Chengde has already expressed his position of exemption, but the matter is very important, Li Minquan still does not dare to say too clearly, and most of the babbling words fall on the slow policy, as for the urgent policy, but he does not dare to say that it will come out.
"What's that? Got it! ”
Emperor Chengde is obviously not too satisfied with the slow policy, no side, after so many years of planning and fighting, Emperor Chengde has never taken advantage of Hongqing, and he has long been no longer expected to use conventional means to seize the power that the emperor should have.
"Your Majesty is angry, and forgive Weichen bluntly, if you want to make a quick decision, you can only make up your mind."
Li Minquan had already offended Hongqing to death, thinking that once Hongqing took the throne, he would definitely not have any good fruit to eat, how did he come to be vicious, although he never said that he wanted to take Hongqing's life, but what he said clearly meant that.
"Ah, this, this ......"
Although Emperor Chengde was in constant conflict with Hongqing, and the struggle could be described as very tragic, he really never considered harming Hongqing's life.
"Your Majesty Mingjian, the so-called when the judgment continues, will suffer from its chaos, today, can no longer raise tigers for trouble, Weichen knocks on His Majesty Xià to make a decision as soon as possible!"
Li Minquan was born for a moment, all he wanted was personal glory and wealth, as for the safety of the society and other things, it was no longer within the scope of his consideration, at this time, since the vicious policy had been spoken, he no longer had the slightest scruples at all, and hurriedly kowtowed a few times, and begged a sentence in a mournful voice.
"You are so bold, the reason why I can get the position is all due to Qing'er's merits, the first emperor has high expectations for Qing'er, if I act like this, how to face the first emperor under Jiuquan in the future, this matter will not be mentioned again!"
Emperor Chengde's pattern is small, and the desire for power is also great, but in the end he is not a confused person, and the hatred for Hongqing in his heart is strong, but he has no intention of taking Hongqing's life, besides, Emperor Chengde still has self-knowledge, he does not think that he can really kill Hongqing if he makes up his mind, once he really makes a move, then there is no room for maneuver, in his opinion, the final result is very likely not to be Hongqing's play, but his Chengde Emperor **** turned, as soon as he thought of this, Chengde Emperor unceremoniously reprimanded Li Minquan.
"Your Majesty, this time and that time, when you have not yet grown up, this is the limelight of Prince Ren, and now, looking at all the elder brothers, there are not a few sages, no matter who succeeds to the throne, it is a good choice for a while, why worry too much, if the emperor knew that Prince Ren was so bold and reckless, he would not oppose His Majesty's choice in the future, and the minister once again asked His Majesty to think twice."
If you don't say it, then there will still be room for turnaround, but now, Li Minquan has no possibility of retreating, once he loses the trust of Emperor Chengde, what awaits him is only the end of death, because of this, Li Minquan can no longer care about Emperor Chengde's anger, kowtow like pounding garlic and begged bitterly.
"Needless to say, I will think about this matter in detail, and then I will not have a good idea."
Hearing Li Minquan's words, Emperor Chengde's originally chaotic heart was completely chaotic, and he had no intention of discussing it anymore, and with a wave of his hand, he gave an order to expel the guest in an unquestionable tone.
"Yes, Weichen retired."
As soon as he heard Emperor Chengde's order, although Li Minquan was unwilling, he didn't dare to say more, so he could only respond respectfully, and withdrew from the main hall, leaving Emperor Chengde alone in the main hall frowning and pondering......
