"Sir, Xiao Wang always feels that something is wrong with today's events, but it is difficult to see through the truth for a while, and please ask Mr. to give Xiao Wang some guidance."

The fourth elder brother's mind is obviously more careful than the third elder brother, and he has also experienced the encirclement and suppression of Hongqing by the Qianqing Palace today, the third elder brother is smug, but the fourth elder brother is worried, but with his intellectual and arithmetic ability, he can't see through the strange inside, and he has no intention of going to the criminal department to manage the government, but hurriedly took a sedan chair back to his own palace, and went straight to the inner courtyard study, and told Wu Sidao in detail about all the things that happened today, and finally raised the question in his heart.

"It's good that the prince can think about this, hey, I'm afraid this thing is self-defeating."

Wu Sidao quietly listened to the title of the fourth master, and thought silently for a moment, before he shook his head with regret on his face and replied with a little bitterness.

"Huh? This ......"

The fourth master was just suspicious that things might change, but when he heard Wu Sidao say it so surely, his heart suddenly cooled halfway, and he really didn't know what to say for a while.

"It's too late, I'm suspicious in my life, if it weren't for this, it wouldn't have suppressed Prince Ren, the reason why the prince was able to make a comeback, the root cause is also from here, it's a pity, people are not as good as heaven, the original good situation, but it was defeated by Fang Linggao, His Majesty Xià re-activated Prince Ren has become a foregone conclusion, and now the situation is already a big bad!"

Wu Sidao as early as the time of the decision, he decided that the probability of success of this policy is actually only half to half, can be successful, then the big thing can be expected, once it is not successful, there is no big obstacle, as long as Emperor Chengde's suspicion of Hongqing does not diminish, the fourth master will still have the opportunity to profit from it, but he never calculated that Fang Bao, who has not been very good at governing in recent years, will actually intervene in it, and he will make a good situation of besieging Hongqing to a mess, no matter how open-minded Wu Sidao is, at this time, he can't help but feel a little stupid.

"Fang Linggao can be valued by the emperor, since he is very comparable, he has been dormant for several years, and it is difficult for anyone to think that he will suddenly kill, for the nine mountains and nine thousands, the success is short, it is a pity, a pity, a pity, however, since the matter has come to this, it is useless to regret it, after all, I have to take other measures, I don't know what Mr. can teach me about this?"

The fourth master is not an ordinary person in the end, after a little contemplation, he has already figured out where the problem is, although he is also sorry in his heart, but he will not be entangled in this, he still has the courage to challenge difficulties, just such a one, it is far better than ordinary people, and the posture of the hero is fully revealed.

"It's good that the fourth master can have such a mentality, although the current situation has collapsed, it is far from irretrievable, but he calmly planned, and there is still a chance."

Wu Sidao obviously praised the fourth master's mentality of being able to afford to let go, and praised the fourth master very rarely, but he did not rush to explain the countermeasures, because Wu Sidao himself had not yet deduced a complete strategy.

"Well, Xiao Wang also believes that this will be the case, but how to deal with it, Xiao Wang is a little uncertain, and Mr. Lao has a plan or two for Xiao Wang."

The fourth master is tenacious, even if Emperor Chengde ascended the throne, he was suppressed and became an idle prince, he has never lost his fighting spirit, not to mention that now he holds the two key departments of the Criminal Department and the Central Bank, and his strength is far stronger than that of the Kangxi period, and he will not be discouraged by today's setbacks, although his words are peaceful, but his heart is full of self-confidence that cannot be concealed.

"The prince is not in a hurry, and listen to Wu carefully, although His Majesty is suspicious, there is indeed a place to use, however, in a short period of time, it is not possible to focus, otherwise, it will be counterproductive, therefore, the matter of Jiangnan should also go first, and let Hongli Shizi return to Beijing earlier, in case of contingencies, this is one, as for the second, then it must be moved randomly, and the key to it depends on the deployment of the third elder brother, let him explore the road first is also good."

Wu Sidao is worthy of being the wisest man in the world, and after only a moment's delay, he already has a comprehensive plan, but he did not mention the specific strategy as soon as he came up, but first roughly analyzed the situation.

"Well, what Mr. said is quite reasonable, but I'm afraid that the third elder brother's behavior is not easy to figure out, I don't know if Mr. has any predictions for this?"

In the past few years, although the fourth master has not acted in conjunction with the third elder brother, but it is all to deal with Hongqing, in the final analysis, the two sides are not all the way, the so-called alliance is actually very fragile, in fact, although they seem to cooperate with each other, but behind their backs, they have not done some black things against each other, and the estrangement between the two sides is also very deep, because of this, the fourth master really does not dare to assert what the third elder brother will do.

"The prince asked well, according to Wu's opinion, in the case of today's approaching limit, the third elder brother wants to take the right path to succeed to the throne, it is no longer possible, because the time is too late, no matter how hard you try, it is difficult to stop the momentum of Prince Ren, therefore, there should be only two ways to go, one is to continue to attack Prince Ren on the bright side, looking for an opportunity to seize a mistake, and hold on to it to see if there is a chance to turn the tables, as for the second, I think there is only the old thing of Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin, in terms of the current situation, The possibility of the latter should be not small, but it is difficult to say how it will be deployed. ”

Wu Sidao has been in charge of the "blood droplets" for many years, and he is quite well-informed, and he has long known that Lu Chunyan is secretly hiding in the third elder brother's mansion, although he and Lu Chunyan have never met, but they have been separated from each other for many years, they have cooperated, and they have plotted with each other, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they know themselves and know each other.

"Well, Xiao Wang also thinks the same way, if he can succeed, it will be a good thing, even if he can't, he can also attract Hongqing's gang to fight with him, but it is convenient for us to secretly take advantage."

The fourth master's brain turned very fast, and he had already grasped the key point of the matter in an instant, although there were not many words, but they were all on the point.

"The prince is right, it should be so, however, this alone is not enough to rely on, and there must be other calculations."

What Wu Sidao said before was actually just a framework outline, which was quite general, but the fourth master was able to keenly grasp the main points, and it was really a bit impressive to Wu Sidao.

"Well, please make it clear."

The fourth master has long been accustomed to Wu Sidao's style of laughing and scolding, and this coldness has been praised by Wu Sidao several times in succession, and he can't help but feel a little proud in his heart, but the city is deep enough, but he didn't bring it to his face, he just sighed quietly.

"It's very simple, just two words - the edict!"

Hearing the fourth master's question, Wu Sidao smiled indifferently, reached out and stroked the long beard on his chest, and unhurriedly solved the mystery.

"Edict? The gentleman is saying ......"

As soon as Wu Sidao said this, the fourth master was stunned at first, but soon, his eyes lit up, obviously thinking of some key uses, but he was not sure, so he hesitated to ask for half of the words.

"The ancients often said: not thinking about winning before thinking about defeat, today, Prince Ren is unstoppable, even if the third elder brother is working hard, the success is not necessarily how high, if things are not good, the prince must first find a good way out, in order to wait for the next day to rise again, from this article, the name of the minister is indispensable, now, the older generation of the heavenly family, the prince is already the oldest prince, but the elimination can be voted into the favor of today, the identity of an executor of the edict should be able to get it, if so, then the advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, how to use it, With the ability of the prince, he should be able to see through, so there is no need for Wu to say more. ”

Wu Sidao did not specifically explain how to act, but only made an analysis of the general truth, even so, it was already refreshing for the fourth master to listen.

"Hmm......"

The fourth master is a very deep person in the city, although he was in a turbulent mood, he didn't have any grandiose words, he just quietly let out a breath, and fell into deep thought......

On June 9, the sixth year of Chengde, the emperor was seriously ill, bedridden for more than a month, and he couldn't get out of bed, during which all the government affairs were supervised by Prince Ren Hongqing, in mid-June, Dorobelle Hongli and the criminal department Shangshu Haitao's joint recital arrived in Beijing, saying that the Jiangsu deficit case has been roughly investigated, and the amount of the deficit in each province has also been determined.

After Hongqing received the Jiangsu chapter submitted by the military aircraft guard, there was no instruction, but directly presented to the emperor, Emperor Chengde read, quite strange, and then summoned Hongqing to ask, in this regard, Hongqing still did not say a word, only said that this matter involves the slaves, as the master, must avoid suspicion, the emperor is helpless, and it is not good to urge, so he summoned the fourth master to see, the fourth master did not have much to avoid suspicion, bluntly said that this case is the best to deal with, you can ensure that the treasury is not lost, and can make the turbulent officialdom in Jiangsu restore order as soon as possible, When it was a safe way to take into account both interests, the emperor thought so, and happily put pen to paper on the sickbed to approve the word "quasi", so far, a big storm that swept the officialdom of Tongtong Province, Jiangsu Province came to an end.

At the beginning of August in the sixth year of Chengde, Emperor Chengde, who had been seriously ill for two months, finally recovered a little and was able to walk with a cane, but both the body and energy were exhausted, and there was no mental government, and all matters were handed over to the military aircraft department, and Hongqing was the supervisor of the country, and the atmosphere of the court suddenly changed, and all the forces were dormant, and the court situation was stable and smooth, but under this stability, the undercurrent was quietly surging, and as for when it would break out, only God could know......
