Kowloon wins

Chapter 884

The study is still that study, no matter the layout or the furnishings, it is all the same as before, even though it has been more than a year since I have been here, but as soon as Fang turned around from behind the screen, a sense of nostalgia surged uncontrollably from the bottom of my heart , Emperor Chengde's eyes were slightly moist immediately, but as soon as his eyes touched the old master Chen who was scribbling in front of the copywriting, Emperor Chengde's nostalgic thoughts disappeared immediately, and what was replaced was extremely complicated. There is gratitude, but there is also dissatisfaction. Of course, there is also a trace of guilt, but not much, nothing else, because Emperor Chengde still does not think that he has done anything wrong.

"Master!"

Seeing that Old Master Chen never raised his head, Emperor Chengde couldn't help being a little embarrassed, but he couldn't forcefully interrupt Old Master Chen's pleasure, so he had no choice but to wait silently until Old Master Chen put down his pen Only then did Emperor Chengde walk forward slowly, and greeted him very warmly.

"The old man has seen His Majesty."

Old Master Chen actually heard the sound of Emperor Chengde entering the room long ago, but he didn't intend to greet him, even if Emperor Chengde greeted him first, Old Master Chen just bowed his body flatly, rather He bowed indifferently.

"Master, I, hehe, I've always wanted to visit you, but I'm so entangled in government affairs that I didn't come until now. Don't you blame me?"

Seeing Old Master Chen's indifference, Emperor Chengde's embarrassment unavoidably intensified. Fortunately, the city was deep enough, so he didn't appear to be abnormal, and exchanged warm greetings.

"How dare you be an old man, please sit down, Your Majesty."

Old Master Chen didn't react to Emperor Chengde's demeanor of a virtuous and virtuous corporal, his expression remained indifferent, he just waved his hand, and politely and slightly indifferently invited Emperor Chengde to take his seat.

"Master, please."

Facing Old Master Chen's cold face, Emperor Chengde gave a wry smile helplessly, and without further greetings, he walked slowly to a table, waved his hand, greeted warmly, and then lifted the hem of his robe , sat down at this end.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Old Master Chen was not in a hurry to take a seat, but walked to the side of the stove, took down the boiling kettle, brewed a bowl of tea with his own hands, held it in both hands, and handed it to Emperor Chengde, with a flat and authentic voice please.

"Thank you, Master. I came back this time, firstly, to visit my teacher, and secondly, there is also a difficult matter. I want to ask my master to help me with a detailed analysis, and I also ask my master to give me some guidance."

After all, Emperor Chengde had something to worry about, so he had no intention of exchanging pleasantries, and after a polite sentence, he immediately turned to the topic.

"Is Your Majesty still worrying about the Central Bank case?"

Old Master Chen obviously didn't intend to talk nonsense, so he lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down opposite Emperor Chengde, pointing out the purpose of Emperor Chengde's visit in a calm tone.

"Master is right. This case is very important and involved a lot. I really want to investigate it with all my strength, but I don't want to get too much backlash. I am really embarrassed. I don't know if Master has anything to teach me?"

Although Emperor Chengde had a thick skin, he was too embarrassed to admit that he was in a mess, so he could only make a vague nonsense, intending to muddle through.

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly, although His Majesty has been on the throne for more than a year, he is still ignorant. If you don't understand the reason for being an emperor, it would be strange if nothing goes wrong."

Emperor Chengde wanted to get away with it, but old master Chen didn't buy it, and pointed out the weakness of Emperor Chengde right away.

"This……"

Being scolded by Old Master Chen, Emperor Chengde's forehead was covered with sweat, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, trying to explain, but the facts were all there, and the words of justification were really hard to say, so there was only It's time for an embarrassing and wry smile.

"Your Majesty, please take a look at how these two characters are written."

Old Master Chen glanced at Emperor Chengde in dissatisfaction, got up and walked to the copywriting, picked up a piece of writing written earlier, walked back to the couple slowly, and placed the piece of writing in front of Emperor Chengde.

"Balance? This..."

Seeing the huge word "Balance" on the paper, Emperor Chengde couldn't help being stunned, obviously wanting to say that he just wanted balance. No, among all the forces in the court, Hongqing was the most powerful. Strong, for the sake of balance, it is obviously necessary to attack Hongqing, but when the words came to his lips, Emperor Chengde hesitated again, nothing else, Old Master Chen was obviously on Hongqing's side, and said in front of his face If you want to cut Hongqing's momentum, wouldn't it be hard for you to find it yourself? Moreover, the repeated failures over the past year have also proved that Emperor Chengde's various adjustment strategies are fundamentally wrong. De Di is really embarrassed to say that he understands the true meaning of balance.

"That's right, it's these two words. As an emperor, I don't understand the true meaning of it. It's just a fool's ear. Your Majesty has always been shrewd. He should be able to understand the truth of moistening things silently. It's just a child's nonsense, and it can be successful." What's the matter?"

Old Master Chen put on the airs of a teacher, and unceremoniously taught Emperor Chengde a lesson.

"Master taught me the lesson, I was too hasty."

Emperor Chengde's structure is a little small, but he is not an unreasonable person. After carefully chewing the words of Old Master Chen for a few times, he has realized something, so he bowed to Old Master Chen and humbly Accepted the mistake.

"Your Majesty is not only acting too hastily, he even made a mistake in the direction. It would be strange if he didn't hit the wall."

Although Emperor Chengde had sincerely admitted his mistake, Old Master Chen did not let him go, but ruthlessly exposed Emperor Chengde's scars.

"Please teach me, master."

Facing Old Master Chen's sternness, Emperor Chengde seemed to have returned to the age when he listened to the old master's instructions, but he didn't dare to put on an emperor's posture, and honestly asked for advice.

"Your Majesty, please think about it, which side really doesn't want His Majesty to sit firmly in that golden chair? Some people are afraid that they won't wait to die just because His Majesty ascended the throne. It seems that if the serious troubles are not eliminated, how can the country have peace? ?”

Old Master Chen didn't give Emperor Chengde a good look because of his humble attitude, he still pointed out the root cause of the repeated problems in Emperor Chengde's administration in sharp words over the past year.

"This is indeed my mistake, and it was not my master who made the mistake. I was kept in the dark, ashamed, ashamed."

After Old Master Chen said this, Emperor Chengde's cold sweat broke out immediately, and he recognized his mistake with a little more sincerity.

"If Your Majesty can really understand the essence of these two words, it's not too late to make up for it."

Seeing that Emperor Chengde's attitude of admitting his mistakes was quite correct, Old Master Chen didn't say any harsh words anymore, he just raised a few words.

"Master, don't worry, I know what to do, but, given the current situation, what should I do?"

Emperor Chengde responded humbly, and then turned the topic to the current chaotic situation. Obviously, Emperor Chengde's so-called enlightenment is only on the surface, not really understanding " There is nothing else in the essence of the word "balance". If Emperor Chengde really understood it, there would be no need to ask more questions at all.

"Your Majesty should know that the war is about logistics support, and this must be supported by economic strength. The Northwest is now in chaos. No matter how unstable it is, the frontiers are corrupt. This war is already on the line and has to be waged. Therefore, at this time The stability of the economy is the top priority, and there is absolutely no room for any mistakes. Even if His Majesty wants to adjust the central bank, it is not right at this time, so let’s put it aside for the time being. Fang, as for the case of Mo Along, the trial will be concluded quickly, and there will be no mistakes if there is less involvement."

Knowing that Emperor Chengde had never really realized it, but Old Master Chen was too lazy to explain the truth to him, nothing else, probably because Old Master Chen knew that Emperor Chengde was not the Lord of England, but it was just a transition It's just a king, it's really not worth wasting energy to help him wholeheartedly.

"Well, I made a decree when I turned around, and I just wanted to kill Mo Along, it's just Qing'er's illness..."

In fact, Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi had already reminded Emperor Chengde of the same meaning, but at that time Emperor Chengde thought that the situation was under control and did not listen to people's persuasion. He is willing to admit his mistake, but after being taught such a lesson by Old Master Chen, Emperor Chengde's heart has long been beaten, and he dare not stick to his own opinion anymore, but he is still a little uncomfortable with Hong Qing's possible reaction In the end, he tentatively asked half of the words.

"Your Majesty is too worried. Prince Ren just catches a cold occasionally, and he will recover in three or two days. You should not miss the big event of the expedition."

Old Master Chen glanced at Emperor Chengde calmly, and gave a clear answer meaningfully.

"That's good, that's good. I've been out for a long time, and it's time to go back to the palace. I will come back someday to ask my master for help. I'll take this adverb away, and hang it in front of my seat, thinking that the motto is the same." .”

The real purpose of Emperor Chengde's visit is only one, and that is to express compromise to Hongqing through Old Master Chen's mouth. Obviously he didn't intend to stay any longer, so he stood up with a smile, first carefully folded the words written by Old Master Chen, put it into his wide sleeves, and then respectfully moved towards the Old Master Chen bowed his hands and offered to say goodbye.

"Your Majesty is holy, and the old man sends you His Majesty respectfully."

Since Emperor Chengde was about to leave, Old Master Chen didn't bother to say anything to persuade him to stay, so he also got up, bowed and saluted, assuming a posture of showing off respectfully.

"Master, please stay, I will take my leave now."

Emperor Chengde glanced at Old Master Chen with complicated eyes, and didn't say any more. After explaining the situation, he left the study immediately, and walked out of Prince Ren's mansion surrounded by a group of big inner guards. On my way back to the palace...
