Chapter 432 Controversy ([-])

"No more!"

Fourth master is good at playing chess. As for chess skills, he is in the same line as the old man. Not only that, but there are obviously some problems with his chess skills. The fourth master suddenly became more annoyed, and with a swipe of his hand, he completely messed up the situation, not to mention admitting defeat, but to say nothing, which obviously has a strong suspicion of cheating.

"My lord is very worried."

Whenever the people in the mansion play chess with the fourth master, they are all giving way, except for Wu Sidao, who always kills the fourth master in a mess. Of course, there are many situations where the fourth master cheats. I'm used to Fourth Master's virtue, so I won't be dissatisfied because the chess game is disturbed, but I laughed and pointedly said.

"I really don't know how the third son raised such a freak, who caused troubles every day, and ran into the 'Eight Banners Company' in a good way, making the tide hall full of smoke. This time it's even better. It's really a scourge!"

The fourth master was already annoying, and losing the chess would add to the annoying annoyance, and then being teased by Wu Sidao, the anger in his heart could not be contained, and he buried the third master and his son with a black face, but what did you say? There is a strong sourness in hearing it.

"Oh, is your lord worrying about Dongying?"

The fourth master is purely talking about sour grapes because he can't eat grapes. If Hong Qing is his son, the fourth master is definitely too late to spoil him. How could there be such bad words? Wu Sidao is as clear as a mirror in his heart , But, he didn't know how to tell the truth, so he just changed the subject with a smile.

"Well... the people from the East are just overseas wild lands, which shouldn't be used for business and trade. It is really not a blessing for the country to use weapons and weapons recklessly. Even if those places are leveled, what good is there to say? There are some people who insist on instigating Banners to make trouble, and they really have ulterior motives, this king must not just sit back and watch!"

Fourth master is a stingy person in his bones, and he will put on a pretense outside, but in front of Wu Sidao, his words and deeds are clearly revealed, and he is just talking about the good things that benefit the Eight Banners such as the "Eight Banners Company" for a penny not worth.

"So, the prince intends to oppose the conquest of Dongying?"

Wu Sidao simply ignored Fourth Master's nonsense nonsense, and asked a question directly to the core.

"What? Is there something wrong? Huang Ama has been reluctant to make a decision for a long time. I think there must be some doubts about this matter. There is nothing wrong with my king obeying Tianxin?"

Hearing that Wu Sidao's question was strange, Fourth Master couldn't help being taken aback, looked at Wu Sidao suspiciously, then bit his lip and asked again and again.

"Hey, what the lord said is right to the point. Your Majesty really doesn't want to have more troubles, but it may not be able to win the opinions of the officials. Even if the lord strongly opposes it, how can the third and eighth lords agree?" Let it go, it's one thing to make contributions, but it's another thing to be able to reach out to the army."

Wu Sidao shook his head, pointed out the crux of the problem with a sneer.

"Well... a group of city foxes and social rats only care about the immediate interests, but ignore the future of the country. They lightly start wars for merchants. How can it be a blessing for the country? With such a precedent, the future troubles may be endless."

The fourth master is not a dull person. What Wu Sidao said, the fourth master has already thought of it. In fact, the fourth master does not have much grudges about whether to fight or not. What he really cares about is the handsome position. Who, there is no one else, the fourth master only has Dai Duo and a few other famous disciples in the court, and they are all civil servants. Is Nian Gengyao the only military general who can really be used, but Nian Gengyao has just been released, and now he can't do anything. It's only a thousand, and the qualifications and prestige are too far behind, so they can't get on the stage at all. In other words, the fourth master can only sit and watch the third master and the eighth master compete for the commanding seal of this expedition. There is nothing he can do The fact that it was just now was the root of Fourth Master's annoyance. Hearing that Wu Sidao pointed it out at this moment, Fourth Master could only let out a sigh of resentment, and vented his anger unwillingly.

"The future troubles are just an afterthought. The most urgent thing right now is the battle for the commander-in-chief. I don't know if the prince has any consideration for this?"

Regarding Si Ye's lies, Wu Sidao didn't take it to heart at all, just smiled indifferently, and didn't comment at all, but asked about the focus of the morning court the next day.

"This king is also a prince after all, and he has practiced martial arts since he was a child. Even if he fights for such a handsome seal, there is nothing wrong with it!"

Fourth master had no one under his command, and he was unwilling to lose the position of commander-in-chief, so annoyed, his angry words gushed out without going through his brain.

"Ha ha."

As soon as Fourth Master's words came out, Wu Sidao didn't even bother to comment, and just laughed sarcastically twice.

"If it doesn't work, it's okay for me to recommend the thirteenth brother?"

Seeing such a smile from Wu Sidao, even though Fourth Master had a thick skin, he couldn't help but panic with embarrassment, the old man blushed slightly, turned his head away, and said in a hurry.

"Isn't your lord right? Hehe, this expedition is the general trend, and even His Majesty will not be able to stop it. The root cause is probably Hong Qing's plan, whose number has already laid out such a big situation years ago. , his scheming is really unpredictable, and it is not easy to fight with him."

Wu Sidao stretched out his hand to stroke the long beard on his chest, shook his head, and felt emotional.

"gentlemen……"

Hearing what Wu Sidao said, Fourth Master's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and he wanted to interject in a hurry to ask what happened.

"My lord, don't worry, let Wu explain it in detail." No need to listen, Wu Sidao also knew what the fourth master wanted to ask, so he smiled and pressed his hand, and said in a calm tone: "Hongqing, my son. The layout has been set, the general trend has been established, and it is impossible to compete in this game. The only way to deal with it is to make a fuss about the details. The fourth master is going to fight for the handsome position, but the third master is on the side, the candidate must be the thirteenth master!"

"What? How could the third child, this..."

Hearing Wu Sidao's words and saying that the third master would recommend the old thirteen, the fourth master was taken aback immediately, stood up abruptly, and exclaimed in an abnormal way.

"Hey, it's not that the third master is wise, but the result of Hong Qing's son's instigation behind his back. Since the thirteenth master was raised in captivity the year before last, this son has been running to the thirteenth master. Since this spring, he has even fought with the thirteenth master. It's so hot, if it wasn't for the use of the Thirteenth Lord, how could it be like this?"

Wu Sidao is in charge of the "blood drop" in the hands of the fourth master, and he knows that Hong Qing often went to the thirteenth master these years, but although he felt strange at first, he still couldn't guess the truth, so he stayed " As soon as the "Osaka Incident" happened, with Wu Sidao's ability, he could easily see through Hongqing's overall layout after a little contact with the front and back, but he just saw it through. At this delicate juncture, Wu Sidao couldn't find a way to break through this situation in a short time The method, at this moment, is about to speak, although the tone is gentle, but there is inevitably a trace of jealousy inside.

"So that's it, that old thirteen..."

Ever since Lao Shisan was imprisoned, Fourth Master has sent people to Lao Shisan's mansion to deliver some food. To avoid suspicion, he himself has never been to Thirteenth Master's place. Thinking about it, the old thirteen should be able to sympathize with his sufferings. In addition, he thought that he and the old thirteen were one body since childhood. He was not very vigilant about Hong Qing's constant running around with the old thirteen, but now if the old three The other side really saved the old thirteen, wouldn't that mean that the old thirteen had secretly voted for the old third? Thinking of this, fourth master's heart tightened immediately.

"The Thirteenth Master is a man of faith, not someone who can be moved by profit. Some people think that although Hong Qing'er promises to make great profits, he may not be able to make the Thirteenth Master change his course. If the Thirteenth Master is neutral, it is somewhat possible. Since that is the case, the prince might as well use his plan and send someone to the Thirteenth Lord first, so that he will do his best to keep the Thirteenth Lord as the commander in this matter of conquest of Dongying."

Wu Sidao knew exactly what fourth master was worried about, so he wouldn't let him think too much, so he hurriedly expressed his judgment.

"Well, what you said is true, this king should go and walk there in person."

Although Wu Sidao has already made a judgment, the fourth master is still worried, nothing else, because the old thirteen is really too important to the fourth master, if the thirteenth master has a different heart, the consequences will not be bad It's fun, because of this, the fourth master no longer cared about avoiding suspicion, so he planned to go out and talk to the old thirteen in person.

"Slow down, the prince can't go by himself, he can only send his servants, otherwise, it may have the opposite effect."

Before the fourth master left, Wu Sidao had already called a stop, but he didn't say what was going on.

"Huh? Uh... well, let's make a decision like this."

After all, the fourth master is not a fool. Although he was a little dazed, he quickly realized that there is nothing else, and it is not a thing to hold Buddha's feet temporarily. It's too much, even if the feelings between each other are deep, it's hard to keep Lao Shisan's heart from turmoil, so it's better to treat them as usual.

"This side is one, and there is another one. When it is worthy of the court's discussion, the prince must argue with reason, and it is wrong to start the war. When discussing the commander-in-chief, it is enough to protect the Thirteenth Master."

Seeing that Fourth Master's heart had calmed down, Wu Sidao smiled gratifiedly, stroked his long beard on his chest, and said something again.

"Well, it should be so, this king knows what to do."

After all, the fourth master is not an ordinary person. In the blink of an eye, he already understood the root of Wu Sidao's suggestion. There is nothing else. Criticism may leave a deep impression in the old man's mind, then everything is worth it. In view of this, the fourth master will not have the slightest objection at all, and he agreed very straightforwardly.
