Kowloon wins

Chapter 747
Although Song Zhu's attack was fooled by the joint efforts of Hong Qing's father and grandson, Hong Qing knew that the matter would never be finished. Let alone the fourth master, eighth master and others who were hiding behind Song Zhu's back, Song Zhu My own influence cannot be ignored, nothing else, just because Song Zhu represents the old-fashioned diehard forces, and this has to start with the distribution of forces in the Eight Banners-the Eight Banners in Beijing are certainly the mainstream of the Eight Banners, but There are banner camps stationed in Fengtian, Taiyuan, Xi'an, Chengdu and other places, especially in Fengtian, the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty.

The Eight Great Masters are not just for display. When the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the reason why the Eight Great Masters were kept in Fengtian was because they had a plan to leave a way out. , that can also be returned to the outside of the pass. As for the second consideration, it is checks and balances. As for the object of checks and balances, it is not someone else, but the emperor himself sitting on the dragon chair—according to the Qing Dynasty system, the eight kings discuss politics The emperor can be dismissed, of course, the ancestral system will return to the ancestral system, in fact, the pattern of the eight kings' governance has been quietly deposed as early as the Shunzhi period-the military power in the hands of the eight major leaders has long been deprived of everything, and even more powerful. The elite banner battalion is under strict guard in Fengtian. The target of the guard is none other than the eight major forces. But because of this, the Eight Banners of Fengtian are only under the Eight Banners of the capital. I wish this former Fengtian general It is the representative figure of Fengtian Eight Banners, and there is a strong diehard force behind him, not to mention Hongqing, even the old man dare not ignore the importance of this person. Now, since he strongly opposes the new army, Freedom cannot be taken lightly by Hiroharu.

what to do?It is obviously not feasible to directly reason with Song Zhu. This old man is stubborn, and it is extremely difficult to achieve any results by reasoning alone. On the contrary, there is a possibility of further angering him. Once the negotiation collapses, it is not easy to recover It's over, and besides, Hong Qing is busy with government affairs, and it is really difficult to spare too much time to deal with Song Zhu. In desperation, she has no choice but to send someone to invite the old thirteen to come.

"Brother Qing has something to talk about, don't play so mysteriously, my grandfather is busy in the camp, I don't have time to chat with you boy."

The old thirteen arrived very quickly, and as soon as he heard that Hong Qing had an invitation, he rushed all the way from Fengtai Daying to Changchun Garden. Once he entered Cang Zhuo Zhai, after a brief exchange of greetings, there were eunuchs waiting by his side After serving the freshly brewed fragrant tea, Hong Qing had just waved her hand away from the crowd, and before she could get down to business, Old Shisan waved her hand and said impatiently.

"Thank you Thirteenth Uncle, this matter is simple to say, well, let's put it this way, today Master Song sued my nephew, saying that my nephew's letting the new army perform military exercises violated my Qing Dynasty's bow and horse." According to the ancestral precepts of the family, it was proposed by Huang Mafa that the military exercise should be led by the elite horse archers of the Eight Banners, and my nephew is not good at reasoning with it to the end, so I have to ask Uncle Thirteen to do more work for you who are capable."

Hong Qing smiled indifferently, and did not analyze in detail the strange things behind Song Zhu's troubles, but simply stated the matter of Song Zhu's lawsuit against the imperial court today, and then, he took advantage of the situation to throw the problem away To the old thirteen.

"That's it?"

Hearing Hong Qing's words, Old Shisan immediately raised his brows and asked in great dissatisfaction.

"Well, with regard to this matter, Huang Mafa confessed, and my nephew really can't ignore it, but it's not easy to come forward directly, so I can only ask Uncle Thirteen to make a plan on his behalf."

Seeing the old thirteen's reaction, Hong Qing couldn't help but smiled wryly, and explained a few words helplessly.

"Hey, can the old thing be reversed? Come on, let's not talk to you kid, I'll take care of this matter!"

The new army is a strong army jointly built by the old thirteen and Hongqing, so I don't want to hear anyone dare to say that the new army is wrong, so I didn't say anything more, left a few words of confession, got up and went out .

"..."

Hong Qing really didn't expect the old thirteen to leave as soon as he said so, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he was about to say something to remind him, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary, nothing else, the old thirteen is a smart person, Boldness is boldness, but he is not a brainless and reckless person. He should not get the matter out of control. Besides, if something goes wrong, Hong Qing will try to remedy it before it is too late. In this case, let the old thirteen It's okay to let go and do it...

"Old Song, is Lao Song there?"

Although the old thirteen has lost his post in the military department, since Hongqing rectified the military department last time, the old thirteen has promoted many of his own people in the military department. Now, when I arrived at the Ministry of War from Changchun Garden, it was as if I had entered my own house, and I went straight to Songzhu's office in Dama Jindaodi. rang.

"Hey, the thirteenth master is here. The lower official is far away to welcome me. Forgive me, forgive me."

Song Zhu went to find Hong Qing to make a theory this afternoon, but in the end, Hong Qing and his grandson jointly answered the ticket, and he was very unwilling to do so. Several supporters were called together to discuss countermeasures in secret. When they reached a point of discussion, they were interrupted by the careless bluff of the old thirteen. He didn't dare to be rude to the old thirteen, so he could only greet him out of the office with a strong spirit, and exchanged greetings with a smile on his face.

"I said, Lao Song, you are really not authentic. If you have any opinions on the master, you can just say it directly. What kind of business is it to go to the emperor's Ama to pass small words? If you don't give me an explanation today, you can tell me. You're done."

The old thirteen and Song Zhu had some dealings in the early years. When he came to Beijing to take office, he helped Song Zhu to sit in the military department. They also had some friendship with each other. No big scruples, besides, the old thirteen really didn't pay much attention to such an old lady like Song Zhu, and didn't care how many people around were watching, so he buried Song unceremoniously. After wishing, Dang was so overwhelmed that Song Zhu blushed.

"Master Thirteen, what are you talking about? How dare the lower officials sue you? This must be a misunderstanding?"

Song Zhugui is a great scholar of the current dynasty and sits in the Ministry of War. He can be regarded as a high-ranking and powerful person. Thirteen, but he didn't dare to put on airs anymore, not to mention that the friendship between each other was left there, but he said that once the old Shisan was offended severely, if the old Shisan got in the way of the military department, Song Zhu was afraid that he would I couldn't eat enough and walked around, because of this, even if I was squeezed by the old thirteen's stupid words, Song Zhu could only explain with a smile.

"Misunderstanding? Hey, I'm afraid it's not a misunderstanding? I heard from someone in the garden that your old Song is very dissatisfied with your new army. Why, don't you look down on me?"

The old thirteen had already completely given up on the big position, and all he wanted was to rely on the construction of the new army to leave a name in history, how could he allow others to make irresponsible remarks about the new army, and he would not give Song Zhu anything He had a good look on his face, but seeing the old thirteen gave Song Zhu a sideways look full of anger, he went up unceremoniously.

"This, this..., ah, the Thirteenth Lord did misunderstand. The lower official only said that the family tradition of bowing horses is my ancestor's instruction in the Qing Dynasty. I'm afraid it must not be violated?"

Song Zhu really didn't expect that the result of going to find Hongqing's bad luck today would be to provoke such a domineering master like the old thirteen. Coming here was the first time Song Zhu had been promoted to a university scholar. Song Zhu didn't want to return without success. Secondly, he had already done everything he had done, and Song Zhu was expected to be in front of the public. Admitting a mistake, that would be a bit of a shame. In view of this, even though Song Zhu felt guilty, he still bit the bullet and moved out the ancestral precepts, intending to use this to force the old thirteen to submit.

"Okay, you old Song, at this moment, you are still talking about such nonsense with me, well, I don't want to bother with you, let's go, just go with me."

Hearing that Song Zhu brought up the ancestral system again, even if the old thirteen was angry, he just turned his anger back to his anger, and the old thirteen would not dare to say that the ancestral system was wrong in public. Otherwise, if he was not careful, the old thirteen would get Went to drink tea at the Zongren Mansion, but it’s a different thing to say, but to do it, no, the old Shisan got angry, but he didn’t care so much, and grabbed Song Zhu’s arm , dragging and then going to the layman.

"Master Thirteen, where are you going, sir, alas, you have to find out for the latter, don't you?"

Song Zhu was also one of the brave generals in the army when he was young, and his martial arts skills were really sharp, but now he is in his dying years, and he has long since lost his former courage. If he didn't move, he was already being dragged to a crooked figure, but he didn't dare to turn against the old thirteen. In desperation, he could only tell the difference with a red face.

"Don't worry, I won't sell you. Go to Fengtai Daying, and I will let you Lao Song see the truth."

The old thirteen kept dragging Songzhu to the outside of the Yamen, while explaining casually.

"Okay, okay, Thirteenth Master, let go, and the next official will accompany you for a while."

After all, Song Zhu is a person who wants face. Seeing that he couldn't refuse the proposal of the old thirteen, he didn't want to make unnecessary resistance, and he didn't want to be seen by outsiders in his embarrassment, so he begged helplessly. road.

"Ha, isn't that right? You, Lao Song, have been in the Ministry of War for so long. It's time to go to Fengtai, right? Come on!"

Hearing that Song Zhu was subdued, the old thirteen didn't embarrass him any more, he laughed, let go of the hand that was holding Song Zhu's arm, and compared hands with a smile, half forcing, half inviting Song Zhu led out the Ministry of War, and a group of people rode on horses and galloped towards the Fengtai camp outside the city...
