Chapter 389 The old man's board ([-])

Well, the old man is indeed the first to arrive at Fengtai Daying!
The third master and his party arrived early, and there were not many courtiers outside the Changchun Garden. There were only teams of soldiers armed to the teeth patrolling the gate of the garden. The security was extremely strict. It wasn't the soldiers of Shanpuying, or even the men and horses of the admiral of Jiumen, but the defenders of Fengtai Camp. The third master saw it and looked at it, and didn't take it to heart, but Hongqing was not the same. As soon as the soldiers from the Fengtai camp appeared here, he immediately realized that the old man definitely did not return to Beijing yesterday, and he was stationed in the Fengtai camp in all likelihood. Come on.

"Third brother, morning."

It has been a long time since the sign was handed over, but it was as if nothing had disappeared. I was stunned that I didn't see the old man say anything. Naturally, the third master and Hong Qing could only wait obediently outside the garden gate. After a while, the eighth master also arrived , just got out of the carriage, and saw the father and son of the third master standing outside the garden gate, the footsteps of the eighth master couldn't help but paused slightly, but without much delay, he walked forward slowly and greeted him with a smile on his face One sound.

"Eighth brother, morning."

Hearing the sound, the third master immediately turned around. Seeing that it was the eighth master who had arrived, a few smiles appeared on his wooden face, and he warmly bowed his hands in return.

"Third Brother, have you heard that Huang Ama arrived in Beijing the day before yesterday, and I don't know why he summoned me today?"

Eighth Master smiled gently, and casually revealed a secret that Third Master had been unable to figure out.

"Oh? Is it?"

Hearing Ba Ye's words, San Ye's heart immediately twitched. Although his face didn't change much, there was already a little bit of panic in his eyes, which was obvious that he was attracted by Ba Ye. The news of the notification was shocking.

"Huang Ama has always had her own opinions in her actions, so how can we speculate."

Hong Qing is not the third master, she has a very keen mind, as soon as she heard the words of the eighth master, she immediately knew that what she said was just trying to disturb the third master's mind, not to mention whether the exact date of the old man's return was true, even if it was Really, Ba Ye definitely didn't know about it in advance, but only found out after receiving the imperial decree. The reason why Hong Qing dared to make such a judgment is naturally not speculation, but some basis. I haven't seen Ba Ye in the past few days Are you still secretly pushing the crown prince to plot the assassination of Mu Chun'a? If you really know that the old man has arrived, how dare you be so presumptuous? There is no doubt that you deliberately revealed the secret in front of the third master at this time, and your thoughts must be impure Very much, thinking of this, it is impossible for Hong Qing to just sit back and watch the third master be deceived, so she interjected with a smile.

"Hehe, that's right, then I'll just listen to Huang Ama's instruction, third brother, please wait a moment, the younger brother will hand over the sign first, and then come to ask third brother for help."

Although the tone of Hong Qing's words was gentle, it was hitting the Achilles' heel. Seeing that the panic in the eyes of the third master had disappeared, the eighth master knew that no matter how difficult it was to do anything big, he just Without further ado, I smiled and confessed a scene, and then walked away graciously.

"Um……"

The third master was really taken aback by the eighth master before. Fortunately, with Hong Qing's suggestion, he was able to stabilize his mind, but he didn't say much. He just looked at the eighth master thoughtfully. Looking at the back of the master, he let out a soft sound of unknown meaning, which showed that he was already very wary of the so-called ally of the eighth master.

Dad's temperament is really not suitable for playing the game of seizing the heir!

Although the changes in the expression of the third master before and after are slight, Hong Qing's keenness can see all of them in his eyes, and there is inevitably a lot of emotion in his heart, nothing else, if the third master is the emperor, he may be an enlightened and benevolent monarch, but Want to participate in the dark activities of seizing the heirloom? His ability is really limited. If Hong Qing didn't help him so much, the third master would have been reduced to soy sauce a long time ago. How could it be possible to have the current glory? The problem is that the road to succession is full of dangers, and Hongqing does not dare to guarantee that she can take the first opportunity every time. If she is not careful, the nest will be destroyed. out of emotion.

More than half an hour has passed, and the courtiers above the second rank and above have basically arrived, and there is no shortage of elder brothers above the sixteenth rank, but there has never been any news of the old man summoning from the garden. Unavoidably, they were a little nervous, and the whispers kept ringing.

"His Majesty orders, Xuanduo Robel Hongqing Ruijingxuan will meet you!"

Just when everyone was anxiously waiting, they saw Qin Wuyong leading two young eunuchs rushing out from the gate of the garden, without saying much, he directly announced the old man's oral order.

"Om..."

As soon as the old man announced that Hong Qing had an audience alone, all the people who had been quietly listening to the announcement suddenly became chaotic. Obviously, no one expected such a situation.

This time it's troublesome, it seems that I still can't avoid it, yes, if you stretch out your head and slash your head, it's also a slash with your head back, let's stick together!
All the ministers were amazed that Hongqing could have the honor of being summoned first, but Hongqing knew it was a pain, nothing else, he had already guessed the intention of the old man to summon first this time, it was definitely not a good thing Well, it is inevitable to be hit by the board. As for how much he will suffer, it depends on how he responds on the spot.

"Thank you, my minister, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Although her heart is full of ominous premonitions, the courtesy that should be fulfilled is absolutely indispensable, Hong Qing can only suppress the uneasiness in her heart, thank her politely, and then silently be accompanied by Qin Wuyong They rushed to Ruijingxuan together.

"The grandson kowtowed to Huang Mafa."

As soon as Fang turned around the screen at the entrance of Ruijingxuan, he could see the old man sitting at the top with a solemn expression, and the crown prince sitting at the bottom with embarrassment, and Zhang Tingyu and other six university scholars stood on both sides. , there is even Wudan, the governor of Zhili, standing with his sword, and an ugly old man standing beside him, not wearing an official uniform, but just a commoner, how strange it looks, but Hongqing also said that at this moment I didn't have time to think about it, so I hurriedly walked a few steps, rushed to the front of the imperial court, and paid respectful salutes incessantly.

Well, why is there no movement?No, this time I'm in big trouble!

Hong Qing had knelt on the ground for quite a while, but she didn't hear the old man's voice, and she couldn't help being heartbroken, she already guessed the intention of the old man's move, it was nothing more than a show of authority. It was Hong Qing who was the leader in the case of the imperial mausoleum who was beaten, in order to quell the chaos in the court as soon as possible. It was really painful in his heart, but he didn't dare to move a little, so he could only force himself to kneel and not move.

"Speaking of which, what is going on with the Tangling case, huh?"

Seeing Hong Qing knelt on the ground in an orderly manner, without moving for a long time, the anger in the old man's heart subsided a little, but not much, not for anything else, just because of Hong Qing's wanton behavior this time It has already violated the old man's bottom line, and Hong Qing messed up a good power-cutting scene. This is obviously not the situation that the old man likes to see. Coupled with the current turbulent court situation, it makes the old man a little bit How could she let Hong Qing go so easily when she was so angry, but she didn't burst into a rage as soon as she got up, but asked in a cold voice.

Well, our little butt is probably doomed this time!

Hearing the old man's questioning voice was not right, the bitterness in Hong Qing's heart suddenly became stronger, but she didn't dare to bring it to her face, so she could only respectfully kneel up straight, and speak with a look of sincerity and fear. Said: "If you go back to Huang Mafa, the thing is like this. At the end of last year, the Dongling incident happened. His Royal Highness ordered his grandson to take people to Dongling for a thorough investigation..."

Hong Qing's report was very detailed, and she explained in detail the circumstances surrounding the thorough investigation of the Emperor's Mausoleum. There was almost nothing to hide. Motives and calculations, apart from this, nothing is missing, even the private meeting with Chunhui is very clear, it can be said that everything is detailed in the words.

"It's as simple as that, huh?"

The old man didn't say anything to interrupt Hong Qing's reply, and listened silently all the time, until Hong Qing's long speech was finished, the old man just said calmly.

"What my grandson said to Huang Mafa is true, there is no falsehood, and the reasons for this are all documented, and my grandson does not dare to lie to Huang Mafa."

The old man's question seemed simple, but to Hong Qing's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue, nothing else, probably because the old man always used this tone before he got angry. Once he made a slight mistake in his response, he would wait It will be a thunderbolt for Hongqing. At that time, Hongqing's little butt will definitely be lost, and Hongqing will not be free. Flaws, when answering the old man's question, be as sincere as you want.

"Hey, it's so true. Let me ask you, why didn't you close the case in Dongling, but brought it back to the capital for trial, huh?"

Hong Qing's words were sincere enough, but the old man was so shrewd, how could he be so easy to be fooled, but hearing the old man's cold smile, he hit Hong Qing's most painful point in one sentence.

Damn it, the old man is really too shrewd, he's dizzy!

Hearing the old man's question, Hong Qing's heartbeat immediately accelerated a bit, probably because this was the key point that Hong Qing was most worried about—you must know that Hong Qing had always had a reputation for courage in the court, and once she did something, she would There has never been a thing that has been abandoned halfway. Whether it is the Yangzhou salt affairs case or the Hecuo Yamen’s settlement of debts and even the rectification of the Ministry of Industry and the overthrow of Samuha, which one was not carried out under tremendous pressure, how could it be possible? Because of Qi Shiwu's proposal, the soon-to-be-understood Dongling case was interrupted. If there is nothing wrong with it, how is it possible? If the old man can't give a satisfactory answer, then the consequence will not be a few blows. It's as simple as that, a big hat of deceiving the emperor is buckled down, enough to make Hong Qing unable to walk around, how to explain it clearly has become a difficult problem for Hong Qing.
