Chapter 352 A Thunderbolt from the Blue Sky ([-])

The Battle of Wanfu Inn was a big event, but the response was not great. It was just that the admiral of the Nine Gates issued a closing report, attributing the case to the fact that He Mingda and other "blood drops" who died in the inn colluded with each other to steal Prince Cheng's mansion. Property, even if the case has been settled hastily, if it is usual, it seems that such a major case that killed more than a dozen people may still be circulated in the capital for a while, but it is worth the limelight of the prince's election. None of the bubbles have ever popped up, and they have been completely submerged under all kinds of publicity rumors. No matter what, whether it is the fourth master who suffered a loss or the eighth master who failed to take advantage of it, they have no intention of causing another disturbance at this time. As for Hong Qing, who got a profit, was also happy to make a fortune in silence, and all the forces invariably made a gesture of cold treatment of the matter, and the matter turned over in such a silent manner.

On April 47th in the [-]th year of Kangxi, that is, the fourth day of public promotion, the tepid rhythm of publishing books was finally broken. In one day, more than two hundred memorials flew into Changchun Garden like snowflakes At the same time, rumors of various versions began to spread all over the capital, saying that the Sacred Heart secretly promised the eighth master, and Taoist Zhang Mingde wrote the words for the eighth master, saying that the eighth master was too expensive , there is white gas on the head, it is white on the king. When someone is in charge, there are even Li Guangdi, Tong Guowei and other senior officials who are in official positions running privately to contact Ba Ye. The wind direction of the court changes suddenly. All the courtiers came to the book one after another, and the governors and governors of various provinces also responded one after another. For a time, the popularity of Baye was high and the limelight was unparalleled.

"Qing'er, let's go in together."

At the gate of Changchun Garden, the third master who had just got off the sedan chair did not rush towards the garden gate, but stood there for a long time, then frowned and followed him Hong Qing, who was beside her, gave a simple order, her tone full of bleakness, nothing else, it was all caused by Ba Ye's momentum, even though the two counselors Chen and Li had given Ba Ye repeatedly. The master can't make a judgment, but the mood of the third master is still very gloomy, and he still has to go to work in the ministry. After a few days of suffering, he is already haggard.

"Yes, my child obeys."

Hong Qing knew how the third master was feeling, but he didn't plan to say anything more, what should be said had already been said, the third master couldn't let go of his own feelings, it was a god. It's all right, because of this, Hong Qing just responded respectfully, without saying anything else.

"Third Brother, morning!"

"The third brother is here."

"Ha, I'll be waiting for you."

……

Today is the deadline for the public nomination, a group of elder brothers arrived in Changchun Garden early, gathered outside Chunhui Hall waiting for the news, chatting away boredly, seeing the third master and his son arrived, They all exchanged greetings in a hurry.

"It's early, brothers."

The third master was troubled in his heart, but he didn't show timidity in his mouth at this moment, he bowed in groups, and returned the gift with a smile.

"Third brother is full of happiness today, I think good things are coming soon, haha, my little brother congratulates you first."

Old Ten had always been displeased with the third master, seeing the sunken eye sockets of the third master, it was obvious that he had been bothered a lot in the past few days, and he was secretly pleased, so he laughed and mocked the third master.

"Hey, tenth brother is right, third brother's face is flushed, this is a good omen, good, very good."

As soon as Lao Shi finished speaking, Lao Jiu stabbed the third master sinisterly.

"Brothers, wait a moment, Brother Rong goes to the book, and then come to talk to each other."

The third master was already simmering with anger, and being stimulated by the ninth master and the tenth master, he became even more angry. It's just that it's not easy to be as knowledgeable as these two bastards. Pretending not to understand the sarcasm in the words of the two masters, he smiled and left a scene, and then led Hong Qing to Chunhui Hall.

"The next official sees the prince."

Chunhui Hall is now the office of a large number of academicians, and it is the time for capital preservation and collection, and all the people in the hall are busy, but when they see the third master and his son coming in, everyone is excited. Dare to be disrespectful, Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi and others all got up, and each of them couldn't keep up with the courtesy.

"Please be polite, gentlemen. Xiao Wang has been busy with other affairs these few days, and has never been free. I couldn't get to the book sooner, but I have to let you bother."

The third master returned the gift with a smile, then shook his hand, took out a yellow silk mask from his wide sleeve, held it in both hands, and handed it to Zhang Tingyu.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has confessed, if you and Qing Baylor's booklet can be sent directly to Ruijingxuan."

Zhang Tingyu didn't reach out to pick up the brochure that the third master handed over, but bowed his lower body respectfully, and replied politely.

"Oh? That's fine, then Xiao Wang will go ahead."

The third master obviously didn't expect such an oracle, and his heart skipped a beat, but he didn't ask any more questions, but nodded with a smile, put the booklet back into his sleeve, and confessed a scene , then led Hongqing out of Chunhui Hall and went straight to Ruijingxuan.

"Your Majesty has a decree. Prince Xuancheng and Qing Baylor will meet with you."

After the third master and his son arrived at Ruijingxuan, they handed over the invitation card as usual, and after a while, they saw Qin Wuyong hurried out from the inside, and announced the old man's oral order.

"My son (grandson) took the decree to thank you, my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Although the third master and his son have their own thoughts, but the etiquette that should be done is indispensable. After Qi Qi thanked him, he was accompanied by Qin Wuyong and entered the garden gate together, and walked to the depths of Ruijingxuan .

"The minister (grandson) kowtowed to Huang Ama (Huang Mafa)."

Fang Yi walked into Ruijingxuan's study room, and saw the old man lying comfortably on the rocking chair, holding a book in his hand, and looking at it leisurely. The third father and his son dared not neglect, and each rushed to the front. Qiqi salutes incessantly.

"Well, the third child is here, let's get down."

Hearing the sound, the old man put down the idle book in his hand, looked up at the third master and his son, waved his hand with a smile, and yelled warmly.

"Thank you Huang Ama (Huang Mafa) Long En."

The father and son of the third master kowtowed their heads together to thank them for their kindness, then they got up and stood with their hands down, as if they were listening to the instructions respectfully.

"Third brother, have you drawn up your capital guarantee?"

The old man seemed to be in a good mood, with a very warm smile on his face, he didn't say much, and went straight to the topic.

"If you go back to Huang Ama, here is the copy of the subject, please Huang Ama take a look."

When the old man asked about this matter, the third master didn't dare to hesitate a bit, he quickly took out the folder from his sleeve, and held it high above his head.

"Well, you are protecting Yinfeng?"

The old man waved his hand, and the little eunuch who was waiting on his side handed the booklet of the third master to the old man. The old man flipped through it casually, then sat up straight suddenly, and looked at the third master with burning eyes, seemingly displeased Asked a question.

"Huang Ama learned from the lesson, my son thinks that the reason why the second elder brother behaved poorly is due to the pressure of the elder brother, and it is definitely not his original intention. Therefore, the son is still the second brother Bao."

The person the third master really wanted to protect was himself, but he didn't dare to say this, so he could only pretend to be sincere and fearful, and explained it sincerely according to Old Master Chen's explanation.

"Well, Qing'er, what about you? Who are you protecting?"

The old man didn't comment on the third master's explanation, but just said noncommittally, and casually put the third master's notebook on the few beside him, then turned his head to look at Hong Qing, and asked with a smile: .

"If you go back to Huang Mafa, it's me, Ama, who my son will protect."

Hearing the old man's question, Hong Qing hurriedly leaned over, took out the flap of her sleeve with shaking hands, raised it high above her head, and replied unequivocally.

"Oh? What's the reason?"

Hearing Hong Qing's words, the old man couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, looked suspiciously at the third master, then at Hong Qing, then suddenly laughed, and didn't order to get the booklet, but asked questions with great interest road.

"A virtuous person does not avoid relatives."

Hong Qing came prepared, and answered the old man's question very simply and neatly.

"Oh? Hahaha..."

Hearing what Hong Qing said, the old man was immediately amused and burst out laughing.

"Huang Ama learned from the lesson, what Qing'er played was not the instruction of my minister, my minister..."

The old man laughed heartily, but the third master couldn't bear it any longer. He quickly knelt down on the ground and stammered to explain.

"It's okay, I've said it before, it depends on everyone's wish to protect who or not. Qing'er is willing to protect you, that's also the filial piety of a son of man, I think it's very good."

Before the third master finished speaking, the old man waved his hand boldly, and revealed the matter indifferently.

"Thank you Empress Ama Kuanren."

The third master's structure is small, but he is not stupid. At this time, how can he not see the true intentions of the old man? Just a humble thank you.

"Well, Qin Wuyong, go and see if Heng Chen has compiled all the guarantees, I'm just waiting to see the result."

The old man didn't yell at the third master and his son's guaranty, but got up abruptly, walked slowly to the back of the copy, lifted the hem of his robe, sat down right there, and gave instructions with a solemn expression.

"twitter!"

The old man had an order, how dare Qin Wuyong delay to go, he hastily complied with the promise, and hastily exited the study, not long after, he was accompanied by Zhang Tingyu and four young eunuchs each holding a large stack of notebooks. Turned out from behind the screen.

"Wei Chen meets His Majesty."

As soon as Zhang Tingyu saw the old man sitting upright, Zhang Tingyu dared not to be negligent, and quickly rushed to the front, and bowed politely.

"Well, have all the desired results come out?"

The old man didn't call out, but asked a straightforward question.

"Returning to His Majesty, I have already sorted out the list, but there are still some memorials from other provinces that have not arrived."

Zhang Tingyu kowtowed, then took out a copy from his wide sleeve with shaking hands, and held it high above his head.

"Hand it up."

The old man nodded approvingly and didn't talk nonsense. With a wave of his hand, the young eunuch who was waiting beside him handed over the booklet in Zhang Tingyu's hand to the old man.

"Ok?"

The old man took the booklet, and after looking at it, his face became gloomy in an instant.
