Chapter 119 The Prince's Counterattack ([-])
"Well, it is indeed necessary to be cautious, but what should we do with this caution?"

The old man is a shrewd lord, he knew the matter of the flag affairs well, and he had planned it. He started planning last year, in order to make meritorious deeds in one fell swoop, but in the eyes of the old man, it has not yet been activated The timing—he originally planned to wait for all the elder brothers to take charge of the department, and then choose a capable person to take charge of the matter, in the name of his virtuous ability. For this reason, the old man has secretly started raising money and food for emergencies. This kind of calculation is undoubtedly good, but I didn't expect that the fourth master and the prince would get in the way. Now that the problem has been posed, even if the old man is a powerful emperor, he can't ignore it, so I hope the third master If you can tell the truth, the old man can use the slope to get off the donkey. Obviously, the third master's previous tepid response is not very suitable for the old man, but it can't be said that the third master's answer is wrong. After pondering, he continued to question patiently.

"Returning to Huang Ama, my ministers think that the flag affairs have been full of malpractices, and the malpractices have been accumulated for a long time. It is indeed an act of rectification. However, it is related to the foundation of the country, but it cannot be fed with strong medicine. It must be prevented from changing. The so-called blocking is worse than sparse Instead of forcing it to cause change, it is better to guide it slowly, or it can be stabilized. This is my humble opinion, and I ask the emperor Ama to judge."

With Li Minquan's reminder yesterday, the third master naturally knows what the old man's answer is, and the left and right just want to postpone the matter. The third master is naturally happy to let the old man take such a step down.

"Emperor Ama has taught me a lesson. My son thinks that what the third brother said is very true. This matter is so important that it must not be moved lightly. You have to be prepared for it."

At this moment, Ba Ye understood it, how could he really let the prince succeed, and he didn't care to hint to the younger brothers to get ahead, so he jumped out himself and echoed loudly.

"Huang Ama, third brother is right, this matter must not be rushed, in case there is a change, my son is willing to ask Huang Ama to be careful."

The old fourteen also saw the prince's insidious intentions, and he didn't want to be sent around by the prince and the fourth master, so he also snatched it out, as if supporting the third master.

"Huang Ama, my son thinks that this matter can only be taken care of slowly, and must not be ignored!"

"Imperial Ama learned a lesson, my son thinks that what the third brother said is very true, the important affairs of this country must not be careless!"

……

Seeing that the eighth master and the fourteenth master had already stood up, although the nine and tenth masters didn't know much about the situation, they stood up to support the eighth master but were still unwavering. It was nearly half of them who disagreed with the urgent handling of the flag affairs, but the prince was furious, but the more angry he was, the more chaotic he was, and he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute for a while, so he had to ask for help. His eyes fell on fourth master.

"Huang Ama, my son thinks that serious illness should be treated with strong medicine, otherwise it is not enough to correct the evils of entanglement, but if I wait for the children of the Tian family to be self-disciplined, why worry that the flag affairs will not be cured!"

The reason why the fourth master supported the prince was due to his own calculations. Even if he knew that the old man didn't want to rectify the flag affairs immediately, he didn't care so much. There was no need for the prince to hint at all. The fourth master was already livid face, shouted loudly.

"Huang Ama, what the fourth brother said is very true. The reason why the flag affairs are corrupt today is probably due to injustice at the top, and it must be followed by the bottom. If we and the children of the Tian family are all clean and self-sufficient, how dare the slaves below dare to act recklessly. Therefore, My son thinks that the rectification of the flag affairs is imperative, and that the rectification from top to bottom will surely achieve great good results."

The old thirteen had always followed the fourth master closely, now seeing that the third master and the eighth master were so crowded, he dared not lag behind, so he hurriedly spoke out to support the fourth master.

"Huang Ama, my son thinks what the fourth and thirteenth brothers said is great kindness. The so-called righteous man must first correct himself. If the sons of my Tian family don't set an example, how can I ask the subordinate servants to act according to the law? Today, my god The sons and daughters of the family are merchants and businessmen, and those who are lazy have it. They ignore the ancestors' family law as nothing. The reason why the sixteenth brothers dare to leave the capital without authorization and buy and sell them by force is probably from this. If the ancestors' family law is not strictly enforced, Why do you tame the Eight Banners? Therefore, my ministers think that it is important to do so as a warning to others!"

With the solidarity of the fourth master and the thirteenth master, the prince came to his spirits, bowed his body, and talked impassionedly, implying that he wanted to use the old sixteen to do the same, thinking that it was the beginning of rectifying the flag affairs.

Well, there is no way, this head looks like we can figure it out!
As soon as the crown prince brought out the matter of the old sixteen, the eighth master and others were not easy to talk about. Firstly, it was because the old sixteen made a lot of mistakes this time, and the crown prince caught him, so he couldn't even argue. It can be argued, moreover, the eighth master and others have no friendship with the old sixteen, and he is unwilling to fight for the old sixteen at this time. She couldn't find a good reason for a while, so in desperation, she could only keep silent. Seeing this, Hong Qing could only smile helplessly, and walked out slowly. Bowing towards the old man, he said in a calm tone: "Imperial Mafa, my grandson has something to say."

"Well, tell me!"

Ever since he had the power to listen to the government, Hongqing has always only kept his ears but not his mouth, but he never said anything unless the old man asked. The old man was also taken aback, and after a long silence, he raised his hand and agreed to Hong Qing's request.

"Huang Ma Fa Mingjian, my grandson heard the fourth uncle's generous speech earlier, and my blood boiled, but when I think about it carefully, I feel extremely at a loss, and I really don't know what it means."

As soon as she got the old man's permission, Hong Qing stopped being polite, she opened her mouth and taunted the fourth master mercilessly.

"Huh? How do you say this?"

The old man was stunned, but he didn't expect that Hong Qing would not cry, but after the scream, he actually went to the fourth master so directly, he was stunned, his brows furrowed involuntarily, and the tone of the question was quite displeased It means, nothing else, although the fourth master's suggestion is not to the old man's liking, it still has some truth after all, if the timing is not right, the old man may have really agreed to the fourth master's request, but this reason has come to Hong Qing's mouth , but it has become so unbearable, it is inevitable to be suspected of nonsense, and besides, the fourth master is Hong Qing's elder no matter what, and he still needs the respect he deserves. It is obviously against the heavenly family's responsibility to ridicule in court like this. It's decent.

"What Huihuang Mafa said is not my grandson's nonsense, but what my fourth uncle said is inconsistent with reason and absurd. Where do the disadvantages of the Eight Banners come from today? Is the superior not righteous? Absolutely not! Some members of the clan may disdain them, but they are seldom Well, from the perspective of my grandson, all the uncles are majestic and heroic. Why is it that they are not righteous, but the disorder of the flag affairs remains the same, why? It is too much to raise them and not teach them. The ancients said: "Flowing water does not rot, but the hub of the household Those who are not beetles, since they have not seen stagnant water and are not rotten, the number of soldiers in the Eight Banners is limited today, and the population is growing. Yu Dingmi gathers in the capital and has nothing to do. Even if there is law, it is difficult to blame the people. Wouldn't it be ridiculous if the chaos would remain the same, and it would be in vain to waste food?"

Regarding the rectification of the flag affairs, Hong Qing had deduced it many times with Old Master Chen, and had a clear enough understanding of the disadvantages. After a few words, he had completely refuted the rectification strategy of the prince and fourth master.

"Well..., in your opinion, this flag should be rectified in this way, so as to be safe?"

The old man is the master of sages, so he can hear that Hong Qing's words are much deeper than what the fourth master said. It can be said that he pointed out the root of the corruption of the Eight Banners. The investigation is just against the ancestral system, but there is no very good solution. At this moment, hearing Hong Qing speak so sharply, my heart is awe-inspiring, and my curiosity is aroused, and I don't blame Hong Qing anymore. He was slightly rude, and after pondering for a moment, he continued to ask with bright eyes.

"Returning to Huang Mafa, my grandson just heard Ama talk about this matter, so I only know what happened, but I really don't know why, so I dare not speak nonsense."

It's okay to show some limelight, but if it's too much, it will be bad food. Hong Qing didn't want to steal her father's demeanor, so with a light sentence, she handed over the right to speak to the third master.

"Oh? Yinzhi, tell me."

Hearing Hong Qing's words, the old man's eyes immediately flashed a trace of suspicion, not because of anything else, but because the old man knows the third master very well, if the third master's writing is very good, the old man is sure of it But when it comes to government affairs, the old man actually doesn't trust him very much. Even though the third master has always performed well in the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and made great achievements several times in succession, in the old man's opinion, the third master's The layout is a bit smaller, and there is less courage to move forward. It's just that doubts are doubts. The flag is a big matter, so I should ask clearly, and the old man is not hesitant to ask.

"Returning to Huang Ama, I just have some superficial views, and I don't know if it is correct. I also ask Huang Ama to correct me."

The third master is very happy to be able to show a bright spot in such an important matter. You must know that he discussed with Li Minquan until midnight yesterday, in order to make some achievements in today's court meeting. Asking the question, the third master was very excited in his heart. Fortunately, the city is deep, but he never brought it to his face. After a few words of humility, his face straightened, and he said slowly: "The disadvantage of flag affairs lies in the raising of the flag. If you don't teach, if you want to rule it, it won't be a one-day effort. You have to progress slowly. First, you must clarify the rules with training, and then set rewards and punishments. Four: First, the number of soldiers can be increased slightly, and the best ones will be selected, and the performance evaluation must be strict, and the best will be eliminated while the fittest are eliminated, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners battalion; Allow him to make a living on his own, and give him the cost of settling down. If there is poverty again in the future, he can only choose his ears and have nothing to do with the court; For grain seeds, let them cultivate themselves, exempt them from taxes for several years, and make them self-sufficient; fourth, set up more training mechanisms to teach Yu Ding the skills to make a living, and those who do not want to cultivate them can learn their crafts to make a living. There are these four points, Maybe it can solve the misfortune of flag affairs."
