Chapter 1028: The Storm Rises (2)
"Well, that's fine, that's it."
Emperor Chengde is old in the end, although his age is not very old, and he is only in his early fifties, but the spirit of the whole person is really not good, and his reaction is obviously slower by several beats.
"Emperor Ama Shengming!"
Originally, according to the predetermined script, the fifth elder brother's move to invite himself was just an introduction, in order to induce Hongqing to rise up and fight, but he didn't expect Hongqing to fight, so that such a messenger fell into the hands of the fifth elder brother smoothly, which really made the fifth elder brother so excited that it was almost difficult to control himself.
"That's it, this matter is very important, you must not take it lightly, I will give you the will when I go back."
To tell the truth, Emperor Chengde was not very at ease with the fifth elder brother who had always been rough, and he didn't think that it was useful, but he just thought about it and let him make a fuss on the territory of the Ministry of Industry, which might be a good thing.
"Huang Ama rest assured, the sons should do their best, and they will never let the young people go away!"
The fifth elder brother has been friendly with the third elder brother since he was a child, and he has always looked forward to the third elder brother, and there was no big contradiction between him and Hongqing, but because of the problem of standing in line, since Emperor Chengde and other basic times, it has been completely evil, and he wished that he could take advantage of this matter to ruthlessly rectify Hongqing.
"Hmm."
Emperor Chengde obviously didn't have much interest in the fifth elder brother's statement, and he didn't say any more, he just whispered noncommittally, but his eyes full of inquiry fell on Li Minquan's body, obviously waiting for Li Minquan to propose a real matter to be discussed today, but Li Minquan always lowered his head, stunned and had no expression, when he saw this, Emperor Chengde couldn't help muttering in his heart, but at this moment, it was not easy to ask, and after waiting helplessly for a while, he could only wave his hand, He said stupidly: "Let's discuss it here today, I'm tired, Zicheng stays, and you are tired." ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers are retiring!"
Since Emperor Chengde said so, all the people did not dare to stay longer, so they could only praise it in unison, and then withdrew from the main hall and went to their own homes.
"Why didn't Zicheng mention Yue Zhongqi before?"
When people get old, their temperament is really like a child, and Emperor Chengde at this time is like this, even if he knows that in the previous occasions, it is no longer suitable to press Hongqing, but in his heart he has always been unwilling to accept this result.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thought that this matter should be mentioned after the two cases were clear, maybe the effect would be better, but he was in a hurry, but he was afraid that Prince Ren would take a risk, but it was not beautiful."
Faced with Emperor Chengde's questioning, Li Minquan didn't dare to be careless, but seeing that he was busy bowing down, he made an explanation with a sincere face.
"Well...... I couldn't strike while the iron was hot this time, but I am afraid that it will drag on for a long time, and if that guy refuses to do so, what should I do?"
Although he knew that what Li Minquan said was reasonable, Emperor Chengde still couldn't help but worry about it, because it was not the first time he and Hongqing wrestled their wrists, and every time they calculated well, as a result, they always bumped into Hongqing's head and blood, and they really became frightened birds.
"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, Weichen has a plan to deal with."
Li Minquan is a shrewd person, as early as when he was left alone by Emperor Chengde, he had already calculated the overall situation, and when he heard Emperor Chengde's question, he was not panicked at all, and he replied confidently.
"Oh? Let's talk to me about it. ”
As soon as he heard Li Minquan say that he had a countermeasure, Emperor Chengde immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly asked.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the fifth elder brother will go here, and he will make every effort to squeeze the businessmen and officials of the Ministry of Industry involved in the case, whether there is really corruption in them, and the trial will undoubtedly be a nest case, which is a place that can be used, but to make a big noise, according to this impeachment of Shen He and others for dereliction of duty, it is enough to make things bigger, in this way, in order to calm down the matter, Prince Ren is afraid that there is only one way to go through the request for a retrial, and His Majesty can take advantage of the situation to approve his request, and then send him to Henan to review the case, and wait for one of them to leave Beijing, His Majesty can start calmly, in the name of filial piety, let Yue Zhongqi return to his hometown, and then rectify the Fengtai camp with lightning speed. ”
Li Minquan has the ability to do it, whether it is the way of calculation, or the literary skills, they are quite good, but his temperament is dark, and his favorite thing is all kinds of dark calculations.
"Well, okay, then it's decided, and you will preside over this matter."
Emperor Chengde wants to take back the imperial power, he is already crazy, at this time he heard what Li Minquan said seems to have a considerable degree of certainty, when even if he is excited, he completely forgets that now the Qing Dynasty is not only the first group army of the Fengtai battalion, there are also seven equally powerful group armies in various places, once he really makes a move in Beijing, how can Hongqing sit and wait for death, as the so-called heaven wants to die, it must be crazy first, nothing more than that!
"Your Majesty, Weichen should do his best!"
Emperor Chengde couldn't think of it, but Li Minquan knew it in his heart, but he didn't plan to say it, just because he had a plan in his heart and didn't put Hongqing to death, Li Minquan categorically refused to give up, of course, he wouldn't say this to Emperor Chengde, so he just praised it respectfully......
"The prince is clever, and the old man loses!"
In the study room of the inner courtyard of Prince Ren's mansion, Hongqing and Old Master Chen each sat on both sides of a few sons, with a vice chessboard in the middle, and talked about the middle game.
"I conceded."
There is such a heavy thing happening in today's court game, Hongqing actually doesn't have any intention of playing chess, but if Old Master Chen is invited, he can't just disobey, although his mind is not on the chess itself, but with the chess power that far exceeds Old Master Chen's more than one chip, it is reasonable to win easily, but Hongqing does not have much joy, and he just said with a peaceful and humble voice.
"Chess is like life, life is like chess, advance and retreat can be based on evidence to ensure that you don't lose, the prince is a good chess player, and he should have an understanding of this."
The reason why Old Master Chen dragged Hongqing to play chess at such a sensitive time was naturally not because he was addicted to chess, but because he was worried that Hongqing would impulsively launch a mutiny again.
"What the master said is, there are always ups and downs in life, how can everything be successful, even if the emperor Ama is alive, it is inevitable that there will be irritability and incomprehensible things, not to mention the posture of the apprentice, heh, sir, rest assured, a bunch of jumping clowns, the apprentice really didn't take it to heart."
With Hongqing's IQ, how could he not guess the worries in Old Master Chen's heart, although he didn't think so, he didn't want to debate with Old Master Chen on this matter, so he just smiled indifferently and followed what he said lightly.
"It's good that the prince can think like this, and he is retreating and advancing, and for the time being, he seems to have slowed down, but he has tightened his fists, and he will be more powerful when he hits out in the future, isn't it?"
Old Master Chen obviously had an opinion on the current situation, but out of worry, he did not say it explicitly, but adopted a metaphorical way of admonishment, basically persuading Hongqing to make some concessions in exchange for the stability of the court.
"What the master said, the apprentice knows in his heart, but the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the apprentice is retreating, and others may not be willing to appreciate it, hey, if the apprentice is not bad, at this time a group of children are afraid that they are figuring out how to trap the apprentice in a certain death situation, like this situation, the apprentice has no choice, how to do it."
Although Hongqing was playing chess before, most of his mind was used to consider the current situation, and he had already made up his mind in his heart, although he knew that what Old Master Chen said was the right way of Confucianism, but he did not intend to accept it.
"What are you going to do?"
Although the murderous aura in Hongqing's words was not strong, Old Master Chen was keenly aware of it, and his brows inevitably frowned slightly, but he did not rush to advise, but quietly asked.
"Master Mingjian, the apprentice thinks that the reason why those bastards tossed so many strange things is probably only one purpose, and the target is the Fengtai camp, even so, what the emperor will do is also self-revealed, it is nothing more than to let the fourth uncle and the fifth brother try the case indiscriminately, and then force the apprentice to come forward to fight, once this is the case, maybe the apprentice will be allowed to go to the field to review such bullshit cases, he is also good to regulate the military aircraft in Beijing, the plotter, the military power ear, what is difficult to guess."
Hongqing did not directly answer Old Master Chen's question, but first analyzed the current situation and the possible strategy of Emperor Chengde, the meaning of ridicule between the words was really thick, as if he had seen the conspiracy between Li Minquan and Emperor Chengde, not to mention, it really made Hongqing guess accurately, of course, this is not surprising, whether it is Emperor Chengde or Li Minquan, Hongqing really knows a little too well, these two people will change their minds, since it was expected by Hongqing.
