Chapter 1023

"Well, that's fine, then it's settled."

Emperor Chengde is really old. Although his age is not considered very high, he is only in his early fifties, but his energy is really broken, and his reaction has obviously slowed down by several beats. After being interrupted by Li Minquan, he also stayed in a daze for a while, and then reluctantly let out a sigh.

"Huang Ama Shengming!"

Originally, according to the predetermined script, the fifth prince's move to invite himself was just an introduction, in order to induce Hong Qing to fight, but he didn't expect that Hong Qing would not fight. It smoothly fell into the hands of the fifth elder brother, which really made the fifth elder brother almost uncontrollable in excitement, no, just as Emperor Chengde's words fell, he was already in a hurry to thank him.

"Forget it, this matter is of great importance, you must not take it lightly, I will give you my will later."

To be honest, Emperor Chengde was not at ease with the fifth prince who had always been rough, and he didn't think it could be of great use. He just thought about it and let him go to the Ministry of Industry to make a fuss. A good thing, even if it's not good, Hong Qing will miss the other, so she didn't think about it any more, she just waved her hands, and warned the fifth elder brother in a calm voice.

"Don't worry, Huang Ama, I will do my best, and I will definitely not let Xiaoxiao's generation go free!"

The fifth elder brother has been friends with the third elder brother since he was a child, and he has always looked forward to the third elder brother's lead. There was no big conflict between him and Hong Qing, but because of the problem of standing in line, since Emperor Chengde waited for the base , they have completely turned against each other, and they wish to take advantage of this matter to punish Hong Qing severely. At this moment, when they express their attitude, the ferocity can be said to be extremely strong.

"Ah."

Emperor Chengde obviously wasn't very interested in Fifth Elder Brother's statement, and he didn't say anything more, he just let out a noncommittal whisper, but his inquiring eyes fell on Li Minquan, Apparently, he was waiting for Li Minquan to bring up a real matter to be discussed today, but Li Minquan kept his head down, showing no expression. Seeing this, Emperor Chengde couldn't help but muttered in his heart, but he said it at the moment. , but it was not easy to ask, after waiting helplessly for a while, he could only wave his hand, and said angrily: "Let's talk about this here first, I am tired, Zicheng stays here." , You are all tired."

"Your Majesty is wise, I will take my leave!"

Since Emperor Chengde said so, all the people did not dare to stay any longer, so they could only praise together, then left the hall and went to their own business.

"Why didn't Zicheng mention Yue Zhongqi earlier?"

When a person gets old, his temperament is really like a child, and Emperor Chengde is like this at this time, even though he knows that it is not suitable to press Hong Qing on such occasions before, but he still does not want to let go in his heart. Willing to accept such a result, no, just as all the people retreated, Emperor Chengde asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, I have learned that this minister thinks that this matter should be brought up after the two cases are clarified. Maybe the effect will be better. It is not beautiful to act hastily at this time, but I am afraid that Prince Ren will take risks."

Faced with Emperor Chengde's questioning, Li Minquan didn't dare to be careless, but seeing him bowing his body in a hurry, he gave an explanation with a sincere expression on his face.

"Well..., this time I can't strike while the iron is hot, but I am afraid that it will take a long time to change. If that guy insists on refusing, what should I do?"

Even though he knew Li Minquan's words were reasonable, Emperor Chengde still couldn't help worrying about it. There was nothing else, probably because it was not the first time he and Hong Qing had wrestled arms. In front of Hong Qing, her head was bloodied, and she really became a frightened bird.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have a plan to deal with it."

Li Minquan is a very shrewd person. He had already planned the overall situation when he was left alone by Emperor Chengde. Now he heard Emperor Chengde ask him, he was not panic at all, full of confidence The ground replied.

"Oh? Come and listen to me."

As soon as Li Minquan said that he had a countermeasure, Emperor Chengde immediately regained his energy, and hurriedly asked questions.

"Your Majesty, I thought that the fifth elder brother would go all out to squeeze the merchants and officials of the Ministry of Industry involved in the case. No matter whether there is corruption among them, the ones that come out of the trial must be the case. This is what can be used. However, it is necessary to suppress the momentum, and the impeachment of Shen He and others for dereliction of duty is enough to make things worse. In this way, in order to calm the incident, Prince Ren may only have to ask for a retrial. His Majesty But he accepted his request, and then sent him to Henan to review the case. As soon as he left Beijing, His Majesty could proceed calmly and let Yue Zhongqi return to his hometown in the name of keeping filial piety, and then rectified it with lightning speed. Fengtai Daying, at that time, Prince Ren will be beyond his reach, and he will be helpless, this is also a strategy to divert the tiger away from the mountain, please Your Majesty to learn from it."

Li Minquan has his own abilities, no matter how he plans or his literary skills, he is quite good, but he has a dark temper, and he likes all kinds of dark schemes the most, so it is natural for him to plan for Emperor Chengde That is how the insidiousness came about.

"Well, okay, then it's settled, and I will preside over this matter."

Emperor Chengde wanted to get back the imperial power, and he was crazy. Hearing Li Minquan's words now, he seemed to be quite sure, but even when he became excited, he completely forgot that the Qing Dynasty is not just the Fengtai Camp. The first group army, there are seven equally powerful group armies in various places. Once he really makes a move in the capital, how can Hong Qing just sit and wait for death? Those who are outside the case!
"Your Majesty is wise, I should do my best!"

Li Minquan knew what Emperor Chengde couldn't think of, but he didn't intend to tell the truth, because he had other plans in his heart, and Li Minquan would not give up if he didn't put Hong Qing to death, of course Well, he wouldn't tell Emperor Chengde these words, so he just respectfully praised it and finished it...

"My lord is brilliant, the old man loses!"

In the study room in the inner courtyard of Prince Ren's Mansion, Hong Qing and Old Master Chen sat cross-legged on both sides of the chess pieces, with a chess board in the middle, and talked to the middle game. With Hong Qing's son falling, Old Master Chen's big dragon was already There is no possibility of making an eye, so I have to vote and sue.

"Assigned."

Today's court game has such an important event, Hongqing really has no intention of playing chess, but old master Chen invited him, so he has no choice but to follow, even though his mind is not on chess itself, but with the ability to go far beyond Old Master Chen has more than one level of chess strength, and it is reasonable to win easily, but Hong Qing is not very happy, and just said in a calm and humble voice.

"Chess is like life, and life is like chess. Only when you have a basis for advancing and retreating can you keep your gains. Since the prince plays a good game of chess, he should have some understanding of this."

The reason why Old Master Chen dragged Hong Qing to play chess at such a sensitive time was naturally not because of his addiction to chess, but because he was worried that Hong Qing would launch another mutiny impulsively. Next, I also talked a lot, didn't I?

"Master is right, in life, there are always ups and downs, how can everything go smoothly, even if Huang Ama is alive, it is inevitable that there will be irritability and incomprehensible things, let alone such a willow posture like this disciple, huh , Mister, rest assured, a bunch of clowns, my disciples really don't take it to heart."

With Hongqing's IQ, how could he fail to guess where Old Master Chen's worries lie, even though he didn't think so, he didn't want to argue with Old Master Chen on this matter, so he just smiled lightly, with a calm expression Yun Dan acted according to what he said.

"It's good that the prince can think like this. He retreats and advances. For the time being, he seems to be slow, but he tightens his fist. In the future, it will be more powerful, right?"

Old Master Chen obviously had opinions on the current situation, but out of worry, he didn't say it explicitly, but adopted a metaphorical way of admonishment, basically trying to persuade Hongqing to make some concessions temporarily in exchange for a stable court situation .

"As the master said, the disciple knows it well, but the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing. Even if the disciple retreats, others may not be willing to appreciate it. Hey, if the disciple's prediction is not bad, at this moment, a group of children are afraid. He is trying to figure out how to trap this disciple in a situation where he must die, and in such a situation, this disciple has no choice but to do whatever he wants."

Although Hong Qing was playing chess before, most of her thoughts were spent on considering the current situation. She had already made a decision in her heart. Although she knew that what Old Master Chen said was the correct way of Confucianism, she didn't intend to accept it. It was peaceful, but there was a faint chill in it.

"What is the prince planning to do?"

Although the murderous intent in Hong Qing's words was not too strong, Old Master Chen was keenly aware of it, and his brows were unavoidably frowned, but he was not in a hurry to remonstrate, but asked calmly.

"Master, I think that there is only one purpose for those bastards to make so many strange things, and they are aiming at the Fengtai Camp. If so, it will be obvious what Huang Ama will do. It's nothing more than letting the fourth uncle and the fifth younger brother go to trial the case indiscriminately, and then force the apprentice to come forward to fight. Fortunately, the military planes are controlled in the middle of the capital, so it’s hard to guess who is behind the plot and who has the military power.”

Hong Qing did not directly answer Old Master Chen's question, but first analyzed the current situation and the possible strategies that Emperor Chengde might adopt. The conspiracy is average, not to mention, Hong Qing really made a good guess. Of course, this is not surprising. Whether it is Emperor Chengde or Li Minquan, Hong Qing really knows a little too well. Very thoughtful, it was already in Hong Qing's expectation.
