Kowloon wins

Chapter 431 Fighting and Not Fighting ([-])

Military merit is a good thing, and there is no one who does not want it. If it is possible, Hong Qing still wants to lead the army by herself, but it is a pity that she wants to return to it. After all, it is impossible. So - as far as the current situation is concerned, the third master already has two films in hand and many elder brothers to help him. Although he seldom shows his muscles, it is absolutely impossible to hide from the old man's eyes. There is a slight possibility, and this is not counting the many servants of the third master and Hong Qing, let alone having such a gold-absorbing monster as the "Kirin Firm". In terms of strength, even the eighth master is not the opponent of the third master. Under such circumstances, how can the old man not be afraid, and how can he rest assured that the third master and his son will intervene in military power? If all of them go on an expedition, they will definitely be punished by the old man, not to mention the third master, even if Hong Qing wants to go, there is no slight possibility, this is the cruel reality!
"Father Wang Mingjian, my son thinks that Dan Xiao is well prepared, no matter who is in command this time, it will be a win-win situation, but my son thinks that although such achievements are good, it is not appropriate to fight."

The truth is very simple to put it bluntly, maybe you can figure out such a reason, but it is not a simple matter, at least the third master didn't think about it, and he wanted to claim credit as if he was no one else. I really don't know what to say, but why don't I say it, but obviously I can't, if the third master really messed up the book, the consequences must not be a joke, and the impact on the Eastern Expedition is still relatively light. The old man was put on the blacklist, that would be really wronged, Hong Qing had no choice but to remonstrate tactfully.

"Ok?"

The third master thought that Hong Qing would follow the trend to recommend him, but he didn't expect Hong Qing to answer like this, his brows immediately frowned, and he let out a soft sigh of dissatisfaction.

Well, you are really a money fan, dizzy!

Seeing that the third master still couldn't wake up, Hong Qing really had the urge to roll her eyes, but unfortunately she wanted to return to thinking, for the safety of her little butt, she really didn't dare to do such taboo actions When he came out, in desperation, he could only slander the third master in his stomach, and gave Li Minquan a hint to come forward to rescue him.

"My lord, my subordinates think that what the little lord said is very true. It is better not to fight for the position of commander this time. If not, I am afraid that I will be framed by villains."

As the chief counselor, Li Minquan couldn't say too much if Hong Qing couldn't say it, but facing Hong Qing's suggestive gaze, Li Minquan could only make a vague suggestion.

"Well……"

Hearing that Li Minquan also said that it is not appropriate to fight, the third master's high desire immediately decreased a little bit, but in the end he was still reluctant to give up such a great contribution, but it was not easy to say clearly that he still wanted to fight, so he acted as if He pondered thoughtfully, but in reality, he was just waiting for Hong Qing and Li Minquan to change their views.

"If the prince doesn't want to go straight to Qingyun, then go and fight for it. If you get a share of military merit, you can leave your name in history. It's not a loss!"

Seeing that the third master was still on the tip of his horn, Old Master Chen couldn't stand it anymore, but he curled his lips in disdain and unceremoniously mocked the third master.

"Ah, this..."

Although the military merit is good, it is far from becoming the emperor compared to ascending the throne. The third master can understand this point, and after hearing it, he was immediately stunned on the spot.

"Even a mediocre king will never allow a prince to be in command of the army, let alone a sage king today. Everyone else can be handsome, except for those who are related to the prince!"

Although Mrs. Chen is used to the third master's bluntness, when he sees his virtue, he still can't help but get angry. It's just to get angry, and the truth must be explained clearly. There is no choice but to be patient. Explained a sentence.

"Huh... Xiao Wang understands, that's all, that's fine, but who is the leader is a big deal, after all, you have to know it well, and I don't know if the two gentlemen have any advice?"

Mrs. Chen has already spoken to such an extent that the third master will not fail to understand. His heart, which was extremely hot, immediately cooled down. After he took a breath, he changed the topic.

"This is a great achievement. The prince does not compete, but the eighth master and the fourth master will definitely fight. If a certain person is not bad, the candidate recommended by the eighth master must be the fourteenth master. As for the fourth master Master, maybe he will recommend the thirteenth master who has been circled as handsome, there will be a fierce fight between the two."

Seeing that the third master finally gave up the unrealistic idea, although the crowd were expressionless, they were all secretly relieved in their hearts. As for who is handsome, although Hong Qing has He didn't want to express his idea in a hurry, but Old Master Chen had a no-nonsense attitude, but Li Minquan was the most relaxed, and explained with a smile.

"Well, that's true, it's just that neither of these two are the best candidates?"

Although the third master has given up his heart to fight, but he is still very unwilling to sit back and watch such a great achievement fall into the hands of the two competitors. Although he never said it clearly, the tone of the question has already It is to express the meaning very clearly, that is, the third master does not want the old thirteen and the old fourteen to take such credit, and intends to keep the neutral one as handsome.

"Father Wang Mingjian, the main force of the expedition this time is the Eight Banners. If it is not for the elder brother to go out, it may be difficult to overwhelm all the people. If Huang Mafa decides to go to the expedition, he will undoubtedly be selected from the elder brother. Compared with the two powers, My servant thinks that it is important to protect Thirteenth Uncle."

Hong Qing really knew the third master too well, as soon as the third master said such words, Hong Qing immediately guessed the plan in the third master's heart, and she refused to let the third master do anything carelessly, so she hurriedly walked from the side Suggested a way.

"Old Thirteen? Why does Qing'er say that?"

Hearing Hong Qing's suggestion, the third master couldn't help being taken aback, looked at Hong Qing suspiciously, raised his eyebrows, and asked some displeased questions.

"Returning to my father, my fourteenth uncle has been in the military department for a long time, and his prestige has already been established. What is lacking is military merit. If he is allowed to get his hands, it will become a serious disaster in the future. This must be guarded against. Besides, the thirteenth uncle is currently in trouble. It is a matter of kindness to be able to save him from water and fire. Although Uncle Thirteen is stubborn, he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Instead of dripping water at this time, he may have a spring in the future. Moreover, the child has not lost in the past six months. Going to visit Thirteenth Uncle in private, rather than having already made an agreement, if he gets out of this misfortune, he will never be with Fourth Uncle again."

Hong Qing had already calculated in her heart that no matter how displeased the third master was, he would never change her original intention, so she explained the truth in detail.

"Promise? Hmm..."

The third master didn't pay much attention to Hong Qing's whereabouts during this time, since he didn't know about the relationship between Hong Qing and the thirteenth master, hearing Hong Qing's explanation at this moment, he was really worried, Nothing else, the relationship between the old thirteenth and the fourth master was not cultivated in a day or two, and the third master naturally didn't believe how much binding force this so-called agreement could have, but seeing Hong Qing's words so definitely, the third The master couldn't object clearly for a while, so he frowned and put on a contemplative look again.

"Father, don't worry, my son doesn't believe how binding such an agreement can be. However, my son has another concern. After all, the navy that is about to be formed this time will be headed by the admiral of the Guangdong navy. In short, although Sun Mingxu and Admiral Sun are not servants of Haier's sect, they were elected by Haier alone. They are regarded as Haier's people, and many of the sailors transferred are probably from the nautical school under Haier's name. Such a navy is not Others can easily buy it off. As for the main force of the Eastern Expedition Army, they are all my Eight Banners disciples. Without the emperor's order, I am afraid that no one can decide to go arbitrarily. It will be a matter of time before he decides to take charge of the army again and be transferred back to the capital, and at that time, with no soldiers at his disposal, no matter how brave Thirteenth Uncle is, what can he do?"

As soon as the third master's groaning posture came out, Hong Qing really couldn't laugh or cry in her heart, she had no choice but to tell all the strange things inside in detail.

"My lord, I think that what the little lord said is justified. Compared with the ambitious [-]th brother, the thirteenth brother is obviously much more credible. The lord can fully recommend the thirteenth brother. , even if you can't accept his heart, you can still plant a thorn in Si Ye's heart, and given time, it won't be difficult to win over Thirteen Elder Brothers, so this subordinate thinks it's feasible."

Li Minquan knew that the third master was worried about raising tigers, so he wanted to make some remonstrance, but unfortunately Hongqing took the lead before he could show it, so he didn't dare to compete with Hongqing, but what? , but it's okay to say something to echo the previous one.

"Well, master, what do you think?"

With Hong Qing's explanation, the uneasiness in the third master's heart was reduced a lot, but he still didn't rush to make a decision, but cautiously threw the question to Old Master Chen.

"If it's a battle on land, no one can compete with the fourteenth brother, but this time it's an expedition overseas, and it's okay for the thirteenth master to be handsome. If your majesty decides it, it may be both. The prince will push one." Come on, it will happen."

Old Master Chen's vision is not comparable to that of Li Minquan, and a few words have already pointed out a fact, that is, if the third master does not recommend the thirteenth master, it will only make the fourteenth master cheaper.

"Well, that's fine, then it's decided. When the court is in the morning, this king will protect the thirteenth brother and go out in command!"

After all, the third master is not a fool. When Old Master Chen mentioned this, he already understood the crux of the matter, so he stopped hesitating and made up his mind immediately.

"Father Wang is wise, and the child should be attached to Jiwei."

Hearing that the third master had finally made a decision, Hong Qing's tense heartstrings were immediately loosened, and she hurriedly praised her, but in fact, she sighed inwardly, it's not easy, it took so much The tongue, finally managed to get things done, as for the final success or failure, that still has to ride a donkey to read the libretto, wait and see...
