Kowloon wins

Chapter 1008 One Press to the End (V)
After the old sixteenth left, the court discussion continued, but both the courtiers and Emperor Chengde were obviously a little absent-minded, so the so-called discussion was a bit hasty, and most of the matters were just a few words. Having made a conclusion, they didn't see the scenes of fierce disputes in the past, and everyone was actually waiting for the news from the old sixteen.

"Qizou Your Majesty, Prince Zhuang has returned and is waiting outside the palace gate."

Waiting and waiting, nearly an hour passed, and when everyone was waiting anxiously, they saw Li Dequan hurried into the square, rushed to the front of the imperial court, and hurriedly made a report.

"Xuan!"

As soon as he heard that the old sixteen had returned, Emperor Chengde's sluggish spirit couldn't help but cheered up, and some of them couldn't wait to make their orders.

"twitter!"

As soon as Emperor Chengde's golden mouth was opened, Li Dequan didn't dare to delay a bit, so he hurriedly responded, and hurried towards the palace gate. Middle Avenue marched across the square.

"Your brother kowtows to His Majesty!"

The sixteenth old man was walking like a tiger, his face was filled with unconcealable joy, but he did not forget the rules of the court, but seeing him rushing to the front of the imperial court, he could not pay enough respects with a big gift.

"no."

Just looking at the expression of the old sixteen, Emperor Chengde's heart sank, but the etiquette cannot be dismissed, and although he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, he still insisted on holding on to the airs of the emperor, and cried out majesticly .

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Since Emperor Chengde has already called out, thanking you is the proper meaning in the title. Although the old sixteen is in agitated mood, he will not forget this point.

"How's the situation?"

Although he already guessed that the result was not very good, Emperor Chengde still had a sense of luck in his heart. After the old sixteen finished his salute, Emperor Chengde couldn't wait to ask a question.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have thoroughly checked Shenjun Wangfu, and sure enough, traces of performing ghost and nightmare techniques were found in the Chunyi Pavilion in the back garden. Unearthed a grass figure with the horoscope of Prince Ren's birthday on it. In addition, after a sudden trial, Zhao Sancheng, the personal book boy of King Shenjun, has confessed, proving that all the arrangements in Chunyi Xuan were arranged by King Shenjun himself. Now, General Liu has led his troops to seal off the scene, please give your Majesty a clear order."

Old Sixteen has never been able to hide his words in his heart. The reason why he was not in a hurry to reveal the results of the thorough investigation before was due to the limitation of etiquette. Now, since Emperor Chengde asked a question, he would not hesitate It can be said that Lang Sheng responded.

"It's not true, Huang Ama, it's all caused by elder brother's frame, Huang Ama, my son is wronged, my son is wronged..."

Hearing that the old sixteen had confirmed his own criminal evidence, the fourth elder brother collapsed on the spot. He didn't even have the strength to go out. He knelt down on the ground, kowtowed like garlic, and began to wail.

"Hmph, come here, take Hong Jingge to wear Hualing on top of him, and hand it over to the clan's mansion for punishment!"

Emperor Chengde didn't care about the life and death of the fourth elder brother at first, and only considered that the public opinion offensive to encircle and suppress Hongqing should not be messed up. But seeing that Emperor Chengde's face darkened, he slammed down on the case of the dragon, and slammed his throat in a stern voice.

"twitter!"

Emperor Chengde made this order, and the guards who were waiting on the side did not dare to be negligent, they all complied, and several strong and strong people rushed forward, and the fourth elder brother was taken away without any explanation. Standing up, regardless of howls and struggles, he dragged it out.

"I'm tired, so let's stop here today."

After being forced to deal with the fourth elder brother, Emperor Chengde's already old face suddenly looked a little older. Under the haggard heart and mind, he still had no intention of continuing to discuss matters. He left a scene with an ugly face, and immediately got up people left.

"Retreat!"

When Emperor Chengde left like this, Qin Wuyong, who was standing by the side, dared not ignore him, and hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice, and then hurriedly led a group of court ladies and eunuchs to trot after Emperor Chengde. After turning into the door, so far, a big drama has come to an end...

"My lord's thoughts are very heavy. Could it be that something went wrong this morning?"

The fourth elder brother was successfully taken down, but Hong Qing didn't have much excitement. Originally, it's not a good thing for brothers to fight each other, and there is still a lot of suspicion about the sudden change of face of the fourth master. Xinxin, under such circumstances, Hong Qing had no intention of sharing mushrooms with the courtiers, and did not even go to the Ministry of Industry to arrange the next step. She took the sedan chair and went directly back to the mansion. After wandering all the way, she entered the study in the inner courtyard. Passing the screen at the door, Old Master Chen, who was flipping through the booklet, raised his head. He only glanced at Hong Qing, raised his eyebrows immediately, and asked a question in a little surprise.

"If you go back to the master, there is no problem, it's just that something strange happened, um, it's like this..."

Regarding the abnormal behavior of the fourth master, Hong Qing has repeatedly deduced it in her heart countless times. There are quite a few guesses, but when it comes to certainty, it is unspeakable. The reason why she rushed back to the house this time The purpose is to find Old Master Chen for advice, and I will not hide anything, but seeing him walking slowly to the side of the couple, he first salutes respectfully, then lifts the hem of his robe, and that's it. Sitting down, he unhurriedly explained all the events that happened this morning in detail. The focus, of course, was on Fourth Master's weird performance.

"Hmm, what does your lord think about this?"

After listening to Hong Qing's statement, Old Master Chen was not in a hurry to explain, but asked back calmly.

"Master, my disciple thought that anyone who is abnormal must be a monster. The so-called one who is polite to others must have something to ask for. The fourth uncle has always been the master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles. There is no doubt about this. But the disciple couldn't figure out what the fourth uncle wanted, so he asked Master to guide him."

In front of Old Master Chen, Hong Qing would not play those tricks of pretending to be deep, let alone pretend to understand, and directly expressed the doubts in her heart.

"The fourth master is a heroic generation. He always has great ambitions in his heart. He is not greedy for money or lustful. What he seeks is nothing more than authority. What he is looking for is the charter that the prince is busy with these days."

Old Master Chen smiled, and without further ado, he stretched out his hand and stroked the long beard on his chest, explaining the answer meaningfully.

"Huh? This..."

Even though Old Master Chen didn't break through all the tricks one by one, Hong Qing's IQ can be seen, but he came to his senses in an instant, and his face involuntarily became serious.

"My lord must have guessed it, heh, the so-called killing chickens to scare the monkeys, the key is not to kill the chickens, but to scare the monkeys. Now, the chickens are killed, but the monkeys are not scared. Not only are they not scared, but they are waiting." Taking advantage of it, what the world says is twice the result and half the result, what does your lord think?"

As early as when Hongqing decided to take down the fourth elder brother, Old Master Chen had foreseen that the result of this matter would definitely not be as good as Hongqing imagined. , It’s really not a difficult task, but if you want to realize the strategic goal of killing chickens to scare monkeys, there is not even the slightest possibility. But in the current situation, it is so obvious that Emperor Chengde wants to be a biased arbitrator, Hong Qing can see that how can the forces of all parties be kept in the dark, under such circumstances, all parties are Eagerly waiting to profit from the chaos, how could he care about the life and death of a mere elder brother? There is no doubt that the result of Hong Qing's chicken-killing operation is self-evident. The reason why Old Master Chen didn't speak out earlier Firstly, it’s because it’s not too difficult to win the fourth elder brother. The past few years have been going too smoothly, with almost no disadvantages, and it's time to suffer some small setbacks. Because of this, old master Chen criticized Hong Qing at this time, and really didn't show Hong Qing any favors.

"Master has taught you the lesson. This disciple is indeed a bit hasty in handling this matter. Fortunately, the overall situation does not matter much. It is luck."

What old master Chen said, Hong Qing had actually calculated it before, and she couldn't help but feel a little resentful in her heart. This is not surprising, no matter who spent so much energy on the deployment, in the end it was a useless effort It was inevitable that she would feel unhappy in her heart, but Hong Qing didn't dare to reveal it in front of Old Master Chen, so she could only be educated humbly.

"Well, knowing the mistakes and being able to correct them is a great thing. It's just one or four elder brothers. If you win it, you can win it, but you don't have to worry about so many things. It's just that the follow-up actions may lose control. Has the prince ever considered how to deal with it?" Is there a strategy?"

Since Hong Qing admitted his mistake, Old Master Chen wouldn't hold on to it, so after making a comment, he changed the topic.

"Master, I think that if you hold the military power firmly, the overall situation will not go anywhere. As for what others want, that's fine. The left and right are just soldiers coming to cover up the water and the earth, but there is no need to worry too much. .”

Although Old Master Chen never expressed his opinions on the industrial layout, Hong Qing knew that Old Master Chen did not agree with such matters, nothing else. In Old Master Chen's opinion, one thing more is worse than one thing less. Before ascending the throne, everything Stability is still the main thing, but Hong Qing does not quite agree with this, probably because Hong Qing is very clear about how the development trend of history looks like, if the land of China wants to stand on the top of the world, it is not necessary to pay some price. Absolutely not, after all, time waits for no one, and Hong Qing really can't afford to wait. Of course, it is really hard to explain these reasons clearly, so Hong Qing can only give an answer vaguely. .
