Chapter 633 Countermeasures
"I heard that at noon today, you had a fight with the old fourteen. Is there such a thing?"

There has never been a trivial matter in the court, let alone the conflict between the popular general Wang Laoshi and Wang Hongqing of Renjun. Although the incident was not a big one, the speed of spread was not slow. Even the third master knew about it, just now when he returned to the mansion, he called Hong Qing to the study in the inner courtyard, and after the ceremony, he asked about it in the first sentence.

"Returning to the father, there were indeed some small conflicts, and the thing is like this..."

Since the third master asked about this matter, Hong Qing would not hide anything, bowed respectfully and saluted, and calmly described the conflict in detail, but she never said anything about herself. personal judgment on the matter.

"Oh? That's how it is. What on earth is the old Fourteen trying to do with such a naughty brat?"

After quietly listening to Hong Qing's statement, the third master frowned involuntarily, pondered for a moment silently, and felt that the matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, but he was not sure about it in his heart. Whether the thought was correct or not, I was not in a hurry to make a judgment, but asked a question with suspicion.

What does the old fourteen want to do?Hongqing already has the answer to this question, but he doesn't want to say it out loud, because the old man is getting old, and the third master's position is already rock-solid, in such a situation Now, there is no need for Hong Qing to charge forward, the consequence of acting too much is to make the third master jealous, and this is obviously not a situation that Hong Qing likes to see, there is nothing else, "Asuka The best, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackey is cooking" is not a false statement, but a bloody experience and lesson. Hong Qing has no intention of using her own life to verify the truth of this famous saying, and keeps silent in a timely manner. It became the only way for Hongqing to protect herself.

"My lord Mingjian, my subordinates think that the fourteenth master's move is because Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Peigong. It seems to be torn with the little prince, but in fact he is aiming at the new army in the Fengtai camp. The truth is straightforward Simple, the fourteenth master's criticism is just the beginning. If the young prince does not respond properly, there will be a big dispute between the military and the engineering department. In this way, the fourteenth master has a reason to invite the holy judge, saying that the engineering department was slack and caused delays For military and national affairs, in order to ensure the success of this Western Expedition, it is necessary to mobilize and strengthen the army to suppress the formation. Even if His Majesty does not want to, I am afraid that it is not easy to force it. At that time, under the ups and downs, the Fourteenth Lord's power will increase greatly, but the prince will inevitably be in danger of being controlled by others."

If Hong Qing didn't want to say something, someone would do it for her. No, Li Minquan, who saw through the puzzle, analyzed it smoothly and accurately revealed the root of the old fourteen's intentions.

"This bastard is really crazy, hey, Zhongshan wolf, if you succeed, you will be crazy!"

The third master had already guessed the real intention of the old fourteen before, but he was not sure about it. Hearing Li Minquan's confirmation, he immediately became angry, clenched his fist, and cursed angrily.

"Don't be angry, my lord. This time, my little lord has handled it properly. He is not in a hurry or hasty. He neither confronts the other party head-on nor ignores his rude request. Even if the fourteenth lord wants to make trouble again, there is no reason for it. It's just that the subordinates think that His evil heart is not dead, and there may be another branch, so we must guard against it."

Seeing that the third master was so furious, Li Minquan didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly spoke up to explain it.

"Well, this matter cannot be taken lightly. What can Zicheng teach me?"

Hearing what Li Minquan said, the third master couldn't care less about getting angry, his expression froze, and he hurriedly asked for advice.

"My lord Mingjian, my subordinates think that the Fourteenth Master himself is powerless to promote this matter, and only the Eighth Master and the Fourth Master can do it together during the court meeting. The reason is just to increase the chances of winning this battle Ear, there is nothing unusual to say, there are only two things to worry about: one is to provoke the new army from the bottom up to challenge this chapter; Use power to force His Majesty to express his position."

Li Minquan calmly stretched out his hand to stroke his long beard on his chest, and analyzed the situation confidently.

"Well, if so, how should it be?"

On the surface, the new army belongs to the sphere of influence of the old thirteenth, but in fact most of the generals are Hongqing's people. The third master knows this very well, and he doesn't think that he can hide it from those political enemies. It is really possible for the new army to be driven to the frontier, Fourth Master, Eighth Master and others are definitely in favor of it. From this point of view, there is indeed a possibility of those parties working together. For this, the third master is impossible disregard.

"The first one is not difficult to deal with. On the other side of the new army, the little prince or the thirteenth master can suppress all the commotion. As for the joint efforts of several parties to promote this matter, it must be handled carefully. I secretly think It's not what a wise man should do. It's not only bad for the prince to come forward, but it's also not good for the little prince to openly oppose such a proposal. Otherwise, he might be framed by villains. Only by finding another way can he be safe. Now the plan falls on Er Manshun, Zhao Hongye and other Eight Banners commanders."

Li Minquan dared to take the lead in speaking out, so he already had a plan to deal with it, and now he spoke eloquently, calm and relaxed, showing the demeanor of a counselor.

"Emanshun, Zhao Hongye? This..."

The third master is a shrewd person, although it is impossible to ask him to come up with a clever plan, but if he is asked to judge whether the countermeasure is good or not, he can still deal with it freely. Just by listening to it, he can already conclude that Li Minquan's analysis is reasonable— — Opposing the transfer of the new army is a disregard for the safety of the country. Once there is a slight defeat in the front, this crime will obviously be held on the opponent's head. This is obviously not a situation that the third master and his son would like to see. There is no doubt No matter whether it is the third master or Hong Qing, it is not good to express opinions on the transfer of the new army, otherwise, there is a risk of giving others a handle. When it comes to how to use E Manshun, Zhao Hongye and other Eight Banners to unify, the third master is still a little uncertain, so he tentatively asked half of the words.

"Don't worry, my lord. If His Majesty intends to send the new army, it should have been stated in the previous edict. Since it has not been stated, then it is unintentional to do so. But as long as someone opposes it, this proposal must be discarded. , As for how to persuade those people to be unified, isn’t there a little prince here?”

Li Minquan was obviously excited about talking, he didn't care about the worried look on the third master's face at all, he clapped his hands with a smile, and he solved the mystery.

"Well, maybe that's the case, master, do you think it's possible?"

The third master frowned and thought for a moment, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what Li Minquan said, so he felt a little more at ease, but he still didn't rush to make a decision, but threw the question to the silent rest in a serious manner. old master Chen.

"It's safe to act in secret."

Old Master Chen didn't raise any objections, but just raised a point in a calm tone.

"Well, that's good, Qing'er, I will take charge of this matter."

The third master nodded in agreement, without further hesitation, looked sideways at Hong Qing, and gave the order calmly.

"Yes, the child obeys the orders of the king."

Most of Li Minquan's words came from Hong Qing's suggestion, so he would not have any objection to the third master's order at this moment, so he hurriedly bowed and complied...

"Sir, the old fourteenth handed over a letter today, saying that he intends to transfer the troops from Fengtai Daying to the western front. Do you think this is feasible?"

Two flowers bloomed, one on each branch, not to mention that the third master was discussing matters at the other end, but said that the fourth master had returned to the mansion today, and he didn't even have time for dinner, so he went to the study in the inner courtyard and took Wu Sidao Invite me here, exchange some pleasantries, and then go straight to the topic.

"What does your lord think?"

Wu Sidao did not directly answer Fourth Master's question, but asked back with a smile.

"Well, that army's fighting power is astonishing. If it can participate in the battle, it will be of great benefit to Ping the chaos in the Western Regions, but Huang Ama doesn't seem to have this intention. If there is no reason to mention this matter, I am afraid that Huang Ama will be offended. This is indeed unavoidable.”

The fourth master had long been used to Wu Sidao's close-knit deliberation style, so he didn't hesitate, nodded thoughtfully, and expressed his judgment.

"That's right. Your Majesty's approval is required for the left and right armies to go out or not. The prince will just sit and watch. If the matter can be accomplished, he will give it a push. If the matter cannot be accomplished, just let it go with a smile."

Wu Sidao was obviously not very optimistic about the success of this matter, so he casually gave an idea of ​​following the crowd.

"This..., hehe, Xiao Wang is also concerned about chaos, then again, such a strong army does not go to the front to make contributions, but is entrenched beside the capital, it is not a blessing for the whole country, if it can be pushed In other words, it is also a matter of mutual benefit."

Hearing Wu Sidao's words, Fourth Master frowned even slightly, it was obvious that he was not very satisfied with this strategy in his heart, nothing else, Third Master is already powerful, and with such a strong army in hand, it is really When the old man returns to the sea, I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to get it. It is precisely because of this consideration that the fourth master has a different heart, thinking about whether he can work together with the eighth master to drive this army to the sea. Going to the frontier, and now seeing Wu Sidao's disapproving look, although the fourth master is not good at expressing objection, but the self-deprecating words clearly reveal that he wants Wu Sidao to find another good plan.

"If the prince can win the support of the capitals of the Eight Banners, there should be a certain chance of winning this matter. If not, it is useless to mention it. What to do, the prince will decide on his own."

Wu Sidao is worthy of being a wise man in the world, he saw through the crux of the situation with just one glance, and when he heard that the fourth master was still babbling, he didn't bother to explain, so he smiled sarcastically and prescribed a cure.

"This……"

As soon as Wu Sidao's words came out, Fourth Master was immediately dumbfounded, nothing else, he had already seen the core of the problem, he just saw it through, but he had nothing to do, nothing else, today's Baqi's up and down are basically fed by the "Baqi Company", let alone his fourth master, even the famous eighth master among the eight banners' children in the past is now speechless. How to try to come...
