Kowloon wins

Chapter 839

"Brother, but is there anything wrong with what my younger brother said?"

Hong Qing was speechless for a long time after such a silence, and the atmosphere in the West Flower Hall was unavoidably depressing. Hongli had a strong mental capacity, so he didn't really care much about it, but Hongsheng obviously couldn't bear it any longer. , sneaking a glance at Hongli, seeing Hongli nod his head calmly, he was a little relieved, but seeing his eyeballs rolled, he cautiously asked a question.

"That's not true, heh, the second brother can have such a realization, I am very pleased for the brother."

Hearing Hong Sheng's question, Hong Qing immediately laughed and praised Hong Sheng kindly.

"Hey, as long as the big brother thinks it is right, the little brother is just talking nonsense, it can't be true, it can't be true."

Being praised by Hong Qing like this, Hong Sheng immediately felt complacent, and this complacency clearly showed his vulgar prototype. The signature scratching of the forehead really made Hong Qing really dumbfounded.

"Brother Li is here, is it also for this purpose?"

Hong Qing really didn't bother to pay attention to Hong Sheng, so she turned her head to the side, looked at Hong Li with a half-smile, and asked a question with deep meaning.

"So that brother Qing can learn that if brother Cheng intends to preside over the case, younger brother is willing to be his deputy."

Hongli did not deny it, but smiled very frankly, and admitted it very straightforwardly.

"Well, brother, I know."

Hong Qing has never dared to underestimate such a powerful opponent as Hong Li. Even though Hong Qing can gain the upper hand every time he confronts him, every contest is a thrilling fight. Quite different, now, even though Hongli no longer has the qualifications to fight on an equal footing with herself, Hongqing still attaches great importance to him. Whether or not to let such a fierce tiger out of the mountain must be carefully calculated. Because of this, Hong Qing would not express her position lightly, she just mumbled something vaguely.

"Hey, so the eldest brother has agreed?"

Hong Sheng has a quick temper, and his savvy is not enough. Hearing Hong Qing's words, he really thought that Hong Qing had agreed to his request, so he raised his voice in surprise.

"Second brother misunderstood. Whether this case will be tried or not, and how it should be tried, must be decided by the Emperor Ama Qiankun. How can others speak at will."

Hearing Hong Sheng's question, Hong Qing really had the urge to roll her eyes, there is no other way, how can such a major national event be passed on privately, even if Hong Qing has this thought in her heart, it is absolutely impossible to openly give it to her. What was promised, isn't it true?The friendship between each other has not reached the point of life and death at all. If the friendship is shallow and deep, it is really a way to kill yourself. Only a rookie in the officialdom like Hong Sheng would ask such incomprehensible words. .

"Can……"

Hong Sheng fully thought that Hong Qing would give a promise without hesitation, but he didn't expect Hong Qing to shirk the matter again, and immediately became anxious, opening his mouth, he would chatter endlessly.

"What Brother Qing said is true. Your Majesty should make a clear decision on this case. The younger brother will be recommended by himself. Whether it succeeds or not depends on God's will."

Seeing that Hongsheng was going to talk more nonsense, Hongli couldn't stand it any longer. Before he could say anything, he grabbed the conversation and expressed his determination to fight the case with a righteous face.

"Well, it's good that Brother Li has such a heart, so I wish Brother Li his wishes come true."

The fundamental purpose of Hongqing's release of the Gongyuan case this time is to blackmail the enemy into self-respect. Only by letting the fourth and eighth masters jump on the stage can the ignorant Emperor Chengde see the facts clearly and save Chengde The emperor has been thinking all day long about suppressing Hong Qing, but as for the fourth and eighth masters pushing their agents to trick the case, it has long been expected by Hong Qing, and there are relevant means to counter it. However, I am not afraid that the two lords will be able to take advantage of it, but no matter what happens, this matter can be done absolutely unspeakable. Hongqing has a clear understanding of this, and it is impossible for Hongli to be very clear about it. The confession was just a word of praise with a smile.

"Thank you brother Qing for your kind words. You have worked so hard in the military affairs, so I won't bother you any more. Farewell, farewell."

Hongli has dealt with Hongqing a lot, so naturally he would not expect Hongqing to tell him the truth. The reason why he came here with Hongsheng today is actually only one thing, That was to express to Hongqing his determination to help Hongsheng intervene in this case. As for whether Hongqing would be willing to help, Hongli was not in a hurry to know the answer, probably because he had absolute confidence in Wu Sidao's analysis. Deciding that Hongqing's support for her side is the only choice, now that her attitude has already been expressed, Hongli doesn't want to procrastinate any longer, so she stood up with a smile, left behind a scene, and pulled the ignorant Hong Sheng made a gesture to leave.

"Second brother and Li brother, let's all go well, and I won't give it away for my brother."

Now that Hongqing knew about Si Ye's actions, Hongqing had no intention of keeping Hongsheng and the two together. Now, since Hongli wanted to leave on his own initiative, Hongqing was very happy and didn't bother to put on a show, so he didn't go to see them off. He just got up, and after a few words of politeness, he sent both of them out...

"The disciple has seen the master."

After sending Hong Sheng and the two away, Hong Qing didn't stay in the West Flower Hall any longer, and hurriedly picked up a bowl of white rice porridge to fill her stomach, and then went straight to the study in the inner courtyard, and Fang Yi turned around from the screen to come out , I saw Old Master Chen in a white robe had been waiting inside for a long time, not daring to be rude, rushed forward in a hurry, and bowed respectfully to say hello.

"My lord is here, sit down."

Old Master Chen owed him a debt, which was considered a half-repayment.

"Thank you, Master, for granting the seat."

Hong Qing's respect for Old Master Chen came from the bottom of her heart, and Xiang Buwan was very rude, but after seeing him thank him respectfully, she just sat cross-legged opposite Old Master Chen.

"Second Elder Brother is here for an errand, right?"

After Hong Qing took her seat, Old Master Chen didn't even talk nonsense, and directly turned to the main topic.

"Master is right, not only the second child is on a mission, but Hongli also wants to make a comeback by taking this opportunity."

Old Master Chen asked, Hong Qing would not hide anything, so she nodded and explained briefly.

"Well, fourth master is easy to calculate. This is to force the prince to choose the lesser of two evils."

With Old Master Chen's wisdom, he saw through the fourth master's plan at a glance, and the corner of his mouth twitched, revealing a playful smile.

"Master is right, the fourth uncle pretended to be a lone minister in the early years, and his talents were lacking, and he was beheaded by his disciples as a pillar of Nian Gengyao. Once he lost his job, he would be toothless. If he wants to fight, he has to regroup. However, Huang Ama is very wary of him, and he will definitely not let him have a bright future. Because of this, besides pushing the second brother out, the fourth uncle is generally All hope is pinned on this son of Hongli. From this point of view, if Hongli enters the court again, in order to win the trust of the emperor, he will inevitably bite the eighth uncle first, and then bite the apprentice, acting like a running dog, and In the dark, they are trying their best to cultivate their forces in order to make a comeback. If you rely on this person's talents, you should not be underestimated."

For the fourth master who pretends to be an idiot, Hong Qing actually doesn't pay much attention to it. The left and right fourth masters have no possibility of entering the court and governing, but Hong Qing attaches great importance to Hongli. .

"Well, it's good that the prince can be so vigilant. No matter how noisy a dog is, it can't be a dragon. You have to be careful about your grandma's random tricks. He looks humble, but in fact he is not forgiving. In terms of quantity, after all this trouble, he certainly dare not mess around in a short period of time, but his desire to monopolize power will not die, the prince has become a thorn in his side, and he must be 12 cautious in the end."

Old Master Chen is not worried about the calculations of the fourth master and his son, but he is extremely worried about Emperor Chengde. There is no other reason, because Old Master Chen really knows the character and character of Emperor Chengde too well. Without restraint, some low-level mistakes will be made from time to time.

"Master has taught you well, this disciple knows what to do."

Hearing Old Master Chen commenting on Emperor Chengde so unscrupulously, Hongqing felt a burst of sadness in her heart—half a year ago, the father and son were fighting side by side with one heart and one mind, but how long has it been since the father and son have died? We have come to the point where we are about to break up. If you say something wrong, in fact, everyone is right, but the positions of each other have changed, and we can never return to the harmony of the past. If the two sides want to achieve a balance again, they must truly Fight with swords and guns to determine the positioning of each other, and this is the true face of Tianjia politics. There is no right or wrong, and there is no family relationship. There is only one thing that is related, and that is power and profit!
"My lord, just let go and do it, the sky of this court will not fall down!"

Even though Hong Qing was very calm, but Mrs. Chen was very humane, but she could see the sorrow hidden under this calmness at a glance. She could only see it, but she could see it. For this, Mrs. Chen was also helpless. It could only be that Hong Qing was encouraged by her innocuous words.

"Yes, my disciple understands."

Since Old Master Chen said so, Hong Qing didn't want to get entangled in those unnecessary sentiments anymore, so she respectfully responded.

"Well, if the old man's predictions are not bad, your mother will definitely transfer Heda back to Beijing in the next few days and let him serve as the admiral of Fengtai Daying. The prince will have a talk with her. If you can't reach an agreement, then you should break up." Then it's broken."

Old Master Chen understood Emperor Chengde to the core, and explained the secret arrangement of Emperor Chengde in one word, and gave the most concise solution without any scruples.

"Yes, I remember it all."

When it comes to Heda, although Hongqing has been in contact with him for a long time, he is not fully sure of his reliability, and he is not very impressed with his ability, so it is impossible to let him be in Fengtai Daying It's troublesome, but it's not too urgent, and it's not too late to talk about the future. Because of this, Hong Qing didn't answer directly, but just agreed vaguely to settle the matter.
