Chapter 1038 Lobbyist Fang Bao
Rumors have no legs, but they are the fastest running things in the world. No, the fact that the fourth master joined hands with all the elder brothers to go to the book this morning has just happened, and it has been spread all over the city. It was also rumored in the Fengtai camp that was already on alert, but under the pressure of Taninghe and other generals, no one dared to jump out to make trouble. Of course, this is also related to Hong Qing With Hongqing's prestige in the army, even those with ulterior motives really wouldn't have the guts to openly create chaos, but it's hard to stop spreading rumors in private. For Qing, it doesn't seem to be beneficial, there is nothing else, the bowstring has been stretched for too long, and the morale of the army is also difficult to stabilize, but it will become an insurmountable hurdle in front of Hong Qing.

On the contrary, it is easy. With one order, the [-]-strong army of Fengtai Camp can immediately march into the imperial city, and there are internal responses to respond along the way. Even if they go straight into the imperial palace, they will not encounter much resistance. Come on, the hat of "usurping the throne" will definitely be put on Hong Qing's head. When Emperor Chengde is nearing the end of his life, it is obviously not worthwhile to act like this-Confucianism is very interesting, the emperor Killing a brother, as long as he has a righteous name, it is a righteous killing of his relatives, but no matter what the reason is, forcing his father to abdicate is usurping the throne, even if he is as wise as Tang Taizong, he will inevitably be chewed by later generations because of the "Xuanwumen". Although Hongqing herself doesn't care too much about it, it's good to not wear that hat after all. Of course, if the situation really reaches that point, she won't care so much. The crux of the problem lies in the current situation. Has the situation really reached a point where it has to be taken?
With the sharp weapon "Sharp Knife" in hand, Hong Qing actually learned of the private collusion between the fourth master and the elder brothers last night. Yes, it is easy to see through the motives of Si Ye and others acting like this, but this is not the key point, the real key lies in Emperor Chengde's thoughts, and Hong Qing is also hesitating here, probably Because Emperor Chengde's structure is too small, his ears are also soft, and he is easy to be instigated by villains. Hong Qing has long been aware of this, and he will inevitably worry that Emperor Chengde will be killed by the fourth master. Waiting for someone to lead him away, if this is the case, then the situation has reached the point where it has to be done.

"My lord, Fang Bao and Mr. Fang are here."

The time is approaching, Hong Qing still didn't make a decision, but wanted to see Emperor Chengde's reaction before making any calculations. When he was meditating alone in the big tent of the Chinese army, he saw Ding Song hurried in, After a few strides, he rushed to the front of the copywriter, bowed down, and hurriedly reported.

"Oh? Open the gates of the camp, and I will welcome you in person!"

As soon as she heard that Fang Bao was coming, Hong Qing immediately raised her brows, she had already guessed the reason for her coming, but she waved her hand and ordered in a calm tone. .

"twitter!"

Hearing Hong Qing's order, Ding Song didn't dare to be negligent, he hastily responded, and hastily withdrew from the central army tent, and went to arrange related matters without mentioning it.

Counting it, it is already the third day of martial law in Fengtai Camp. All the ministries in the camp are ready to go, and there are constant patrols outside the camp. As for the gate of the camp, the security is extremely strict. Looking at the avenue outside the camp, there are rows of sentries all loaded with live ammunition, and the bayonets on the guns gleamed with the cold light of death in the sun. The stern murderous aura is enough to make one's legs weak, but Fang Bao didn't do anything about it Even though there are only two Goshhas by his side, he is still calm and calm. Even though he has been waiting for a long time, he has no expression of impatience, so he just stands there casually. Outside the cordon in front of the camp, his demeanor was calm and calm.

"Squeaky..."

With a piercing sound, the two thick copper-clad doors were finally pushed open from the inside. Immediately, Hong Qing in neat court uniform led a large group of generals slowly walking out from the inside. Fang Bao saw He hurriedly stretched out his hand to adjust the official robe, and hurried forward to meet him.

"The lower official has seen the prince."

Although Fang Bao came this time following the oral order of Emperor Chengde, but he did not have the edict in hand, so he was not considered an imperial envoy, but when he met a prince like Hong Qing, he had to salute according to the imperial regulations, this is the topic It should be meaningful, but there is not much to say.

"Master Fang, please be polite. You don't need to be too polite. Let's go inside and talk."

There are so many people here, Hong Qing will not be in a hurry to ask Fang Bao's reason for coming, but raised her hand with a smile, signaling Fang Bao to excuse her, and then waved her hand again, saying hello very warmly.

"My lord, please!"

Even though Hong Qing was just being courteous and didn't even say anything else, but in the eyes of a resourceful person like Fang Bao, that self-confidence seemed to have something to do with it. Her heart immediately moved, but her face was full of emotion. She was still calm and didn't say much. She also waved her hand respectfully, signaling to Hong Qing to invite first.

"Master Fang, please have some tea."

After exchanging pleasantries and courtesies, Hong Qing dismissed the generals and welcomed Fang Bao into the tent of the Chinese army. The guards of the palace brought freshly brewed tea and all left the tent. , leaving only the host and guest sitting opposite each other, Hong Qing was still not in a hurry to ask Fang Bao why he came, but picked up the tea bowl with a smile, lit it towards Fang Bao, and politely said please.

"My lord, do you know that everyone in the world says you want to rebel?"

Fang Bao has seldom dealt with Hongqing these few years, but in the last years of Kangxi, he did not have much contact with him. He knows that Hongqing's city is as deep as the sea, and if ordinary words want to impress Hongqing, it is tantamount to fishing in a haystack. Because of this, Fang Bao didn't plan to have any serious flirtation with Hong Qing, nor did he touch the teacup, but started to speak in shock.

"Ah."

Fang Bao's words were undoubtedly extremely harsh, but Hong Qing didn't take it seriously, neither defended nor denied it, just smiled indifferently, because he knew very well that Fang Bao's words were just to lead to the following Well, it's really not a big deal.

"Fang also has the same feeling, but His Majesty Dudu thinks that the prince will definitely not rebel."

Fang Baoyuan didn't expect to be able to touch Hong Qing's heart with a single word, even if he saw Hong Qing's calm and calm, he was not discouraged, but seeing her stretching out her hand to stroke the long beard on her chest, she calmly He uttered another horrible word.

Hehe, this old man is really a super lobbyist!

Hong Qing had anticipated Fang Bao's intention earlier, and it was nothing more than a reconciliation. Now, when Fang Bao's terrifying words came out, Hong Qing became more certain of her earlier judgment, but what, Hong Qing But she didn't intend to express her opinion in a hurry, nothing else, if she could really get along with Emperor Chengde peacefully, Hong Qing would be so happy, but the problem is that the many conflicts caused by the power struggle between them are too sharp This is no longer a peaceful consensus that can be reached by Hongqing's unilateral concessions. After all, both sides need to have this kind of awareness. Looking at Emperor Chengde's actions over the years, it is very possible for him to give up the power struggle. It is too low. If Emperor Chengde knew that he was about to die, there might still be such a possibility. However, no one at the Tai Hospital dared to tell Emperor Chengde what his real condition was. In other words, Chengde Nine times out of ten, the emperor still thinks that he has a very long lifespan. Under such circumstances, the possibility of him being repentant is really not very high. Hong Qing knows very well about this, and she will not be in a hurry to express herself The true attitude is still indifferently smiled.

"Why, probably because both the late emperor and His Majesty have high expectations for the prince. The future can be expected, so why risk the world's dissatisfaction and act? Is this a joke? Your Majesty didn't know what to do. It suddenly dawned on me.”

Fang Bao didn't care about Hong Qing's silence, and continued to state on his own. When he got excited, he couldn't help clapping his hands and sighing.

"Master Fang made Xiao Wang feel ashamed when he said this. The ancients said: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, so what, what!"

When it comes to the expectations of Mr. Kangxi, Hong Qing is convinced. Even if it is said that Emperor Chengde intends, Hongqing will not object. Is it easier to make up your mind? After all, the gap between father and son is already deep. It is really difficult to resolve it. Compared with placing hope on the affirmation of Emperor Chengde, Hong Qing still believes in her own strength. Because of this, Even though she knew that Fang Bao had good intentions, Hong Qing didn't show her attitude, but shook her head and sighed with shame on her face.

"My lord's words are right to the point. Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of treacherous and sycophants in the court. Xiyi invites favor. However, after all, they are just those who wait and see. After receiving more than a hundred memorials, all of them supported Tashan in charge of the Fengtai camp. The officials dared not be negligent, and rushed to report to His Majesty. The Holy One heard about it and was angry. The officials immediately issued an edict, severely reprimanding the above officials for their misconduct. And decided to use Li Mingliang to take over the shortage of the Fengtai camp, the current imperial edict is here, please have a look at it.”

As soon as Hong Qing's emotional words came out, Fang Baodang clapped his hands and explained with a smile. At the end, he took out an imperial edict from his wide sleeves, held it in both hands, and handed it to Hong Qing respectfully. in front of.

"Oh?"

Seeing that Fang Bao had brought all the imperial edicts, Hong Qing frowned, not daring to be negligent, she hurriedly bowed, stretched out her hands respectfully, received the imperial edicts in her hands, and spread them out for a look Seeing that there is not much difference between what is contained in it and what Fang Bao said, even though there was a flash of light in his eyes, he did not express his position in a hurry, but began to think with a slight frown, probably because Hong Qing still has some doubts about her true feelings for Emperor Chengde, and she really dare not make a decision lightly...
