Chapter 1064 A word of awakening ([-])

"Come on, pass on the food!"

After discussing the matter with Li Minquan and the third elder brother, Emperor Chengde thought that the situation was under control, and his original worries were greatly reduced. Apart from feeling a little better, his hunger was aroused, although it was not enough. At noon, he yelled impatiently, and the eunuchs who were waiting outside his own bedroom rushed to make his promise.

"Qizou Your Majesty, Fang Bao and Mr. Fang are asking to see you outside the Qianqing Gate."

Before the meal came, Li Dequan ran over first, bringing the news that Fang Bao asked to see him.

"Why is he here? No see!"

Although Fang Bao has always held a neutral attitude in the court and rarely participated in the strife of the elder brothers, but in fact, he is on the side of Hongqing. Emperor Chengde will not fail to see this. Now, Emperor Chengde had just deployed a big game of chess, and was about to play a ruthless game against Hongqing, so he was unwilling to meet Fang Bao, a minister who was close to Hongqing, at this moment, but seeing that Emperor Chengde was full of displeasure With a wave of his hand, he has already given the order to refuse to see without hesitation.

"twitter!"

Seeing Emperor Chengde's impatient expression, even if Li Dequan wanted to turn around, he didn't dare to say anything carelessly, he could only respectfully respond, and then left the palace, and hurried to the heavily guarded Qianqing at the door.

"Your Majesty ordered me not to see you! Lord Fang, please come back."

In front of the gate of Qianqing, Fang Bao, who was dressed in a neat court uniform, was standing not far from the cordon with his hands down. Seeing Li Dequan hurried out from the gate, he quickly stretched out his hand to straighten his official robe, and hurried forward to meet him, but he never thought about it. Li Dequan stood still at the cordon, and solemnly proclaimed Emperor Chengde's oral order.

"Ok?"

Hearing that Emperor Chengde actually played a trick of refusing to see, Fang Bao raised his long eyebrows, and took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant from his wide sleeve with shaking hands, held it in both hands, He raised it high above his head, and said loudly: "Here is the dragon pendant bestowed by the late emperor, and I request an immediate face-to-face. I will trouble Eunuch Li to go there again."

"Lord Fang, please wait a moment, the Rongsa family will report to His Majesty."

Li Dequan is an old man next to Mr. Kangxi, so he can naturally recognize the authenticity of that dragon pendant. Even if there is a look of shock on his face, there is nothing else, probably because this dragon pendant was specially given to Fang Bao by Mr. Kangxi to save his life. , even if he committed a heinous crime, he can use this jade pendant to write it off. Of course, it can only be used once, which basically means the gold medal for avoiding death. Now, Fang Bao actually used this item in the immediate face of the request Your Majesty, the contribution is not insignificant, even if Li De is so rich in the city, he can't help but be moved by it, but he didn't say much, but respectfully bowed to Fang Bao, and hurriedly He rushed back to the bedroom.

"What? The old man actually took out the dragon pendant? Is he crazy? Damn it, hum, tell him to come see me!"

In the bedroom, Cheng De was eating a meal, and he hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls yet. He suddenly heard Li Dequan say that Fang Bao held the dragon pendant bestowed by the former emperor to ask for an audience. Because the dragon pendant was originally a personal belonging of the old man Kangxi, at the mid-autumn night banquet in the 55th year of Kangxi, in front of all the elder brothers and the courtiers above the first rank in Beijing, the old man personally gave it to Fang Bao, and said with a smile that it was an imperial gift to save him from death Gold medals, but if you have something to ask for, as long as it does not violate the family relationship, you can grant it. Emperor Chengde has seen this matter with his own eyes, and it is also clearly recorded in the emperor's daily life note. Now, Fang Bao actually used it at this time , Emperor Chengde was angry and angry, but there was nothing to do, he could only angrily agree to Fang Bao's request to see him.

"twitter!"

Seeing that Emperor Chengde was so angry, Li Dequan didn't dare to say anything else, he hurriedly responded, and walked out in a hurry, and after a while, he walked in from behind the screen with the solemn Fang Bao.

"The old minister kowtows to His Majesty."

Although Emperor Chengde looked very unhappy, Fang Bao didn't care about it, but seeing him calmly rushed to the front of the imperial court, according to the court regulations, it was a big ceremony and he couldn't pay his respects.

"No, what's the matter? Tell me!"

Although Emperor Chengde had no choice but to meet Fang Bao under the pressure of the dragon pendant bestowed by the previous emperor, he obviously did not intend to talk to him, and before Fang Bao finished the ceremony, he snorted impatiently With a sound.

"The old minister is willing to ask His Majesty to back away from the left and right sides."

Fang Bao was not in a hurry to speak, but finished the ceremony in a leisurely manner, and then proposed in a peaceful voice.

"You... huh, you all stand back!"

Hearing Fang Bao's words, Emperor Chengde's already impetuous heart became even more annoyed, and he opened his mouth to scold Fang Bao for his rudeness, but in the end he still didn't have the nerve to do so, and it was just his expression. Impatiently, he waved his hands towards the maids and eunuchs waiting beside him, and gave orders in a cold voice.

"twitter!"

Since Emperor Chengde had already opened the golden mouth, Li Dequan and the others dared not delay, they all bowed and agreed, and filed out of the palace.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it, I'm listening."

Emperor Chengde said he was listening, but he leaned on the brocade cushion, his eyes were half-opened and half-closed, as if he didn't want to listen.

"When the old minister heard that Mount Tai was about to collapse, he was really disturbed, so he dared not stop playing."

Seeing Emperor Chengde behave like this, Fang Bao's eyes narrowed immediately, but the etiquette was very considerate, but seeing him kowtow, he said something inexplicable worriedly.

"Huh? You are talking nonsense, how could Mount Tai collapse, nonsense!"

Emperor Chengde originally thought that Fang Bao was here to defend Hong Qing, but he never expected Fang Bao to say such a thing. Dang even got confused, sat up straight, and scolded Hong Qing with displeasure. up.

"Oh, the old minister said that Mount Tai would collapse, but His Majesty didn't believe it, but others said that Prince Ren would rebel, but His Majesty believed it. Isn't this a strange thing?"

Facing Emperor Chengde's stern scolding, Fang Bao did not panic, but smiled faintly, and asked back with a calm spirit.

"Hmph! I have already personally tried this matter, so why should I say more!"

As soon as Fang Bao said this, the dissatisfaction on Emperor Chengde's face suddenly became stronger, and he turned his head away angrily.

"The ancients used to say: Seeing is believing, and hearing is false. It is common sense. However, in the eyes of veterans, seeing is not necessarily true. Don't you know that there is a way of planning in the world? Since ancient times, those who use time, There are too many, even if it is death, there are not a few of them, Your Majesty is a person who has read the history books, so he should know what happened, so there is no need for veterans to talk too much."

As soon as Emperor Chengde showed such anger, the smile on Fang Bao's face immediately became stronger, and he said something unhurriedly.

"Death? This..., I'm afraid it won't happen?"

Emperor Chengde was a very suspicious person. Hearing Fang Bao's words, his heart was shaken, but when he thought of the situation of interrogating all the people present in person, Emperor Chengde couldn't help but feel anxious again. Some of them didn't quite believe what Fang Bao said.

"Isn't it? Heh, please think about it, Your Majesty, if Prince Ren wants to ascend the throne, will there be such a will or not? Is there a big difference?"

Fang Bao shook his head with a smile, and asked again unhurriedly.

"Um……"

The answer to Fang Bao's question is obvious. Even if Emperor Chengde doesn't want to admit it, he knows that Hongqing really wants to ascend the throne. There is no such thing as a legacy. Even if Emperor Chengde is still alive, it is impossible to stop Hongqing. Not to mention that the posthumous edict was originally passed on to Hongqing, so why should Hongqing send someone to steal or inspect it? This is obviously a bit unreasonable, but then again, some With such a will, Hong Qing's superior position will appear justified, otherwise, there is still a suspicion of usurping the throne. In this sense, it seems reasonable for Hong Qing to send someone to secretly check the content of the will. Out of these thoughts, Emperor Chengde didn't answer Fang Bao's question, but just snorted noncommittally.

"Your Majesty thinks that Prince Ren may also be worried about injustice, so did you ask someone to check the contents in private?"

Fang Bao is one of the most wise men today, even if Emperor Chengde didn't take over, he could see the psychological changes of Emperor Chengde at a glance, and he didn't have any scruples at all, and directly exposed what was in Emperor Chengde's heart think.

"Is it not possible?"

After Fang Bao directly broke his mind, Emperor Chengde's old face turned red, but his mouth was still stiff.

"It is true that there is a possibility, but this possibility is the same as the old minister saying that Mount Tai will collapse, and it is almost negligible. With the wisdom of Prince Ren, why do you need to do such tricks? Instead, try your best to move forward." The person who planted on Prince Ren is obviously more suspicious, I wonder if His Majesty thinks so?"

Fang Bao couldn't help laughing secretly at this duck that was cooked as soon as he saw Emperor Chengde, the meat was almost rotten, but his mouth was still stiff. The truth was revealed straight to the point.

"This……"

Hearing Fang Bao's words, Emperor Chengde immediately hesitated, and the suspicion of Hong Qing in his heart faded away. At the same time, he became suspicious of the third elder brother, which was just a matter of the emperor's face. Emperor Chengde didn't want to admit his mistake just like that, so he couldn't help being speechless for a while.

"Does Your Majesty think that by relying on Li Minquan's crooked strategies and the power of the third elder brother, you can really win Prince Ren? That would be too much to underestimate the ability of Prince Ren. To tell you the truth, the reason why the old minister It is at the request of Prince Ren that he will come to see you, if His Majesty really wants to go his own way, then please kill the old minister first, lest in the future, the old minister will not have the face to face the late emperor when he goes to hell."

Seeing that Chengde was still worrying about gains and losses, Fang Bao's face immediately became serious, but seeing him kowtow vigorously, he said something coldly, which made Emperor Chengde's old face blush You are as good as a monkey's butt...
