Chapter 956 Where to Go ([-])

"My lord, Ma Qi, Minister of Military Aircraft, Chen Menglei, and old master Chen went outside the camp, saying that His Majesty has a will to declare, and the general dare not make decisions without authorization, so I ask the lord to make it clear."

Just when Hong Qing was indecisive, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Taning He, who was dressed in military uniform, strode into the room, but seeing him rushing to the copywriting, he bowed and hurried Then he made a statement and reported.

"Oh?"

The fact that Emperor Chengde sent someone to proclaim his consolation was already expected by Hong Qing, but he never expected that Emperor Chengde would invite Old Master Chen out. However, without thinking too much, he suddenly stood up, waved his hand, and ordered solemnly: "You and the soldiers are under martial law, and this king will go to meet him once."

"twitter!"

Since Hong Qing had an order, Taninghe dared not ignore it, and hastily bowed to the promise, then humbly turned to one side, and stepped aside, only after Hong Qing wrote the copy, did he follow behind Behind Hong Qing.

"The lower official has seen the prince."

In front of the brightly lit gate of the camp, Ma Qi stood side by side with Mrs. Chen, and when he saw Hong Qing walking slowly surrounded by dozens of personal guards, Ma Qi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully. After a salute, as for Old Master Chen, he didn't express much, he just nodded his head as a signal.

"Master Ma, you don't need to be too polite."

Facing Ma Qi's salute, Hong Qing didn't make any pretentious greetings, but just raised her hand indifferently, obviously not paying much attention to it, but she didn't dare to neglect Old Master Chen, she was very respectful He bowed and said: "Master, it's inconvenient for you to come here. Could you please talk inside?"

"My lord, please!"

Old Master Chen didn't show any signs of being moved by Hong Qing's salute, he just bowed his hands indifferently and returned the salute.

"His Majesty's edict is here, and Prince Ren is invited to accept it."

Seeing that Hongqing was only paying respects to Old Master Chen, but did not answer himself, Ma Qi couldn't help but feel very worried, fearing that Hongqing would really do the old things of Xuanwumen, he didn't care much, so he hastily bit the bullet and said I understand what I'm here for.

"Master Ma, don't be in a hurry, how about going to the yamen first to discuss this matter?"

Hong Qing's mind was still undecided at this moment, and she didn't want Ma Qi to declare his will in public, so she frowned slightly, and gave a command in an indisputable tone.

"This..., that's fine, it's up to the prince."

Although Ma Qi has always been on good terms with Hong Qing, he is a direct minister in essence, and is not Hong Qing's personal partner, so he does not want to see Hong Qing launch a mutiny all by himself. He wanted to create momentum, but Hongqing refused, so he had no choice but to shake his head with a wry smile, and reluctantly agreed to Hongqing's proposal.

"Master, Master Ma, please go ahead."

Seeing that Ma Qi didn't insist any more, Hong Qing didn't want to say any more. After nodding her head, she turned around and walked slowly into the camp. Seeing this, the crowd dared not hesitate After a delay, everyone followed suit.

"My lord, it's getting late, you see if you arrange for all the generals to come to receive the order first, so that the officials can report back to His Majesty immediately."

After all, Ma Qi was thinking, the group had just sat down in the back hall of the admiral's yamen, before the tea was served, Ma Qi couldn't help but urge him again.

"Master Ma Haihan, there have been major changes in the camp, the order has not yet been established, and the generals have to sit down to suppress it. It is really not appropriate to move lightly. Since Huang Ama has a will for this king, then I will accept it by myself. Come here. , prepare incense case!"

Ma Qi is in a hurry, but Hong Qing is not in a hurry. Right now, he has the initiative. Hong Qing doesn't intend to let Emperor Chengde's will spread to the whole army. It is impossible for him to agree with Ma Qi's proposal, so he can't help but say made a decision.

"This this……"

Hearing Hong Qing's words, Ma Qi couldn't help becoming anxious. Would he like to argue, but he was afraid that Hong Qing would be completely angered? Did he really follow Hong Qing's words and deeds? It seems that there is no difference at all. Under the panic, I really don't know what to say. I can only keep looking at Old Master Chen, hoping that Old Master Chen can stand up and help say A few words.

"Master Ma has an edict, just announce it, the prince will make a decision."

Old Master Chen did speak, but it wasn't what Ma Qi wanted to hear.

"Okay, then please ask the prince to accept the order."

Seeing that Mrs. Chen refused to help, Ma Qi felt very helpless. After hesitating for a while, he could only grit his teeth and reluctantly agreed.

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: I was surprised to hear that Prince Lian had conspired with the traitors in the army, and his intentions were wrong. I was very worried. Fortunately, Prince Ren was vigilant and had the help of all the generals. I was very happy to be able to overcome this serious crisis and bring peace to the country... ..."

Fengtai Daying was originally a place where orders were often received, incense tables and other items were well-equipped, a group of soldiers worked hard, and after a short while, they had already prepared everything, and waited until Hong Qing was there After kneeling in front of the incense table, Ma Qi didn't dare to delay any longer, he spread out the edict with shaking hands, and proclaimed it sternly.

Is this going to compromise?Hey, why did you go early!
The imperial edict is not too short, although it is a rough text, but it comes from the hands of writers like Fang Bao. Seeing that Hong Qing could let it go, Emperor Chengde very straightforwardly launched the eighth master as a sacrifice, and he did not hesitate to praise the "rebellion" of Taninghe and others. There is no doubt that such a These words were already in Hong Qing's expectation, whether you listen to them or not, it's all that matter, and it will not affect Hong Qing's decision in the slightest.

"My son thanked Emperor Amalong, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Although she disdained such an edict in her heart, Hong Qing didn't show it, but bowed her head respectfully and thanked her.

"Your Majesty's action to eradicate rape and eradicate evil and eliminate a cancer for the country is really a joyful act. Your Majesty appreciates this very much. He has sent an order to the Ministry of War. Those who have made great contributions to this time will be rewarded heavily. This article, my subordinates You can take your life as a guarantee, now that the imperial edict has been announced, I wonder if the prince might accompany the officials into the palace to thank you?"

After all, Ma Qi is a loyal person, even though he knew that Hongqing might have different ideas in his heart, and nine times out of ten he would not obey orders, but he still bit the bullet and issued an invitation when handing over the imperial edict.

"Master Ma has a heart. Since Xiao Wang has accepted the order, according to the rules, he should enter the palace immediately to meet Huang Ama. However, the aftermath of the camp has not yet settled, and Xiao Wang is afraid that he will not leave without permission, so please invite Master Ma. After returning back, on behalf of Xiao Wang, I would like to say a few good words to Huang Ama. As soon as everything in the camp is settled, Xiao Wang will immediately enter the palace to listen to Huang Ama's teachings. It is getting late, if Huang Ama waits I'm afraid it's not good to be in a hurry, and please ask Master Ma to go and reply first?"

Ma Qi's careful thinking is too obvious. With Hongqing's wisdom, how could he not see through it? Not to mention that Hongqing has not really made up his mind at the moment, even if he really intends to reconcile with Emperor Chengde, it will be decisive It is impossible to enter the palace unprepared. If Emperor Chengde made a mistake and made a wild move, wouldn't Hong Qing throw herself into a trap? Of course, such a possibility is not It's not big, but it has to be guarded against. This is the reason why the so-called carefulness makes the ten-thousand-year ship.

"This this……"

Ma Qi originally wanted to chat with Hong Qing one more time, but when he heard that Hong Qing had issued an order to evict the guest, he was dumbfounded and didn't know how to deal with him for a while.

"Lord Ma, it's fine to go back first. Your Majesty is impatient. If there is no news for a long time, he is afraid of getting angry. As for everything here, I will take care of it."

Before Ma Qi hesitated to come up with a reason, Old Master Chen, who had been standing by the side without saying a word, suddenly interjected.

"Okay, then there will be Mrs. Lao, so I will report back to His Majesty first, take my leave, take my leave."

Old Master Chen is the emperor's teacher, and earlier he generously accepted Ma Qi's request, and promised to persuade Hong Qing to act safely. Ma Qi didn't really believe it, but what happened now, even if he had doubts, Ma Qi didn't dare to delay any longer, so he could only smile helplessly, and left.

"Master, please drink some tea."

After Ma Qi left, Hong Qing didn't linger in the hall any longer, but respectfully invited Old Master Chen into the study room, and after the old master was seated, Hong Qing respectfully poured the wine for Old Master Chen with her own hands. He took a bowl of herbal tea, held it with both hands, and handed it to the couple in front of Old Master Chen.

"My lord, you don't have to be busy, just sit down."

Old Master Chen didn't pick up the tea bowl, but pressed his hand to signal Hong Qing to sit opposite.

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

Hong Qing's respect for Old Master Chen is sincere from the heart. Even though he has been in power for the past few years, he still does not change his original intention, but after seeing him thank him very respectfully, he sat down with Old Master Chen just now. On the opposite side, he put on the appearance of listening to the instructions respectfully.

"My lord's mind is uncertain, and the six gods have no master. This is a sign of prosperity and decline, so don't be careless!"

Old Master Chen didn't ask about the Western Expedition in detail, nor did he mention the truth of the mutiny, but he gave Hong Qing a meaningful look, and the words he spoke were horrified.

"Master, disciple..."

As soon as Old Master Chen said this, even though Hong Qing had a calm mind, she couldn't help shivering. She was about to say something, but she didn't know where to start. Words correspond.

"Since ancient times, people who have done great things have been most afraid of being indecisive. The so-called being decisive and constantly accepting chaos is such a truth. With the wisdom of the prince, don't you need to be a teacher to wake it up?"

Old Master Chen ignored Hong Qing's embarrassment at all, stretched out his hand to stroke the long beard on his chest, and then said another harsh word, which even made Hong Qing's brows wrinkle...
