Kowloon wins

Chapter 971 Strong Rebound ([-])

"My lord is overthinking, and Prince Ren will definitely not turn back. Heh, let's put it this way, a stick can only be deterrent if it is held up. If it is really smashed down, all the pots and pans will be smashed to the ground. It is really not easy to rebuild it again, thinking that the overall situation is under control, and with the wisdom of Prince Ren, how could he do such insignificant and stupid things."

Hearing Fourth Master's question, Wu Sidao immediately laughed, shook his head, and gave a clear judgment with bitterness on his face.

"Um……"

Although Wu Sidao's words were quite peaceful, but the fourth master heard it in his ears, but he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. There is nothing else, Hong Qing has absolute strength on the other side, and he can speak freely and freely. Playing with control, but his fourth master has to work hard to accumulate knowledge, and has been busy for most of his life. Now, let alone control the court, he doesn't even have the confidence to rebel. Compared with the two, the gap is too big This is how the always proud and arrogant fourth master can be calm, but the truth is like this, no matter how unwilling fourth master is, there is nothing to do, so he can only let out a sigh of relief.

"Sir, do you mean that guy will obstruct the court this time, so as to keep the Ministry of Industry safe?"

Hongli's thinking was obviously much quicker than Fourth Master's, and he grasped the key point just by listening.

"Your Majesty is right. Prince Ren now has the military power in his hands. It can be said that he is invincible. What is missing is nothing more than the unified ears of the court. Now that the eighth master is newly defeated, the former subordinate officials will inevitably be invincible. The current election is launched at this time, and apart from targeting Prince Ren, it may not be without the idea of ​​winning people's hearts, so whether it is for the authority of the Ministry of Industry or to undermine His Majesty's prestige, Prince Ren will undoubtedly rise up and fight."

Hearing Hongli's words, Wu Sidao immediately showed a gratified smile on his face, nodded approvingly, and briefly analyzed the strangeness.

"Sir, since this is the case, the situation is dangerous, what should I do?"

The fourth master took the path of orphans and widows in his early years, and there were not many slaves in the imperial court. When Emperor Chengde first came to power, he was almost turned upside down by Hong Qing, and most of the remaining old minions were useless. If you want to count, only Dai Duo, the servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, can barely do it. Over the past year, although he has made great efforts to open up the situation through his second elder brother Hongsheng, it can be regarded as some gains, but it is really not worth it. Many, secondly, there are no heavyweights among them, if they really want to participate in the court struggle, the fourth master really lacks confidence, and there is a strong sense of timidity in the tone of the question.

"My lord is right, the odds of this victory are indeed not high, but even so, we still have to see the truth, and even if it doesn't work, I can show my lord's determination today."

Wu Sidao was not in a hurry to explain the overall situation, but gave a conclusion first.

"Well... then the battle is over. According to Mr., what are the odds of winning?"

The fourth master has been living in seclusion for the past few years, not because he doesn't want to move, but because he doesn't dare to act rashly. Now that the eighth master has fallen, and Emperor Chengde urgently needs support due to his weakness, the fourth master naturally took advantage of the situation. Xin Xin, intending to make his own voice in this court struggle, one is to show his existence, and the other is to support Emperor Chengde in exchange for the right to speak in the court, so even if he knows that most of the court losers He is not afraid of a battle. Of course, since he wants to fight, he must count his defeat before he wins. Although the fourth master is well aware of this, he only uses his wisdom to calculate his ability. It's hard to have an accurate number, so I can only throw this question to Wu Sidao.

"One and a half percent, if the third elder brother is willing to cooperate, maybe there is a [-]% certainty."

Obviously, Wu Sidao had thought it all over a long time ago, no, Wu Sidao had given an incomparably clear answer as soon as Fourth Master's voice fell.

"Thirty percent? That's quite a lot. Li'er, let's get in touch with the third elder brother Haosheng to see what he means."

Even though he knew that the chances of winning were not high, Si Ye couldn't help but frown when Wu Sidao gave such a low winning rate, but he didn't hesitate, and nodded thoughtfully. Made a decision.

"Yes, my child obeys."

Hearing the fourth master's order, Hongli originally wanted to say that the third elder brother might not cooperate this time, but when the words came to his lips, he still held back, nothing else, only Hongli knew very well that no matter what the third elder brother Whether Brother is willing to cooperate or not, this time Prince Yong’s family will have to show their swords. In this case, it’s the same thing whether you say it or not. It’s just a trial. It's not a big deal, just out of such considerations, Hongli only respectfully agreed to settle the matter...

"gentlemen."

The third elder brother has newly named the king of Shun County. When the spring breeze is in full bloom, when he walks into the study room in the inner courtyard, his footsteps are unavoidably a little floating, but he has not forgotten the etiquette when facing Lu Chunyan who raised his eyes and looked forward , but seeing him walking forward quickly, he greeted him very politely.

"Are those two gone?"

Lu Chunyan nodded slightly, and asked a few questions without beginning or end.

"Returning to Mr., they are all gone. Mr. expected it. Those two bastards came here with the purpose of asking Xiao Wang to go with them to attack Big Brother. Hey, the promise is not small. Say yes If you can pass this test, you should be promised by the doctor in the palm of the Three Ministry of Industry, the spirit is really not small, and it is very interesting."

The third elder brother lifted the hem of his robe, sat on the futon opposite Lu Chunyan, and talked a lot with a playful smile on his face.

"Empty promises, if you don't say something will happen, even if it can be done, those bargaining chips are hard to come into your hands, my lord, so let's just ignore it."

Lu Chunyan pursed his lips and came to a conclusion with a look of disdain on his face.

"Oh, sir, that's right. Those two boys came to Xiao Wang's empty gloves and white wolves. Hey, they are full of nonsense. Do you really think that Xiao Wang is so easy to deceive?"

The third elder brother is in the right mood at the moment, and when he speaks, he is very complacent, and the frivolity in his words is too strong, which even makes Lu Chunyan frown.

"Important affairs in the court are life and death at every turn. If the prince has such a frivolous mind, he will be defeated sooner or later!"

Hearing that the third elder brother said more and more inappropriately, Lu Chunyan's complexion immediately sank, and he gave the third elder brother a blow in the head without any politeness.

"Er..., sir, the lesson is right, it is Xiao Wang who lost his temper, please forgive me, sir."

The third elder brother was in high spirits, and suddenly he was reprimanded by Lu Chunyan, and he was stunned on the spot. After being absent-minded for a while, he smiled wryly, bowed towards Lu Chunyan, and recognized him with a face full of shame. wrong.

"Well, if you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. If the prince can always correct his attitude, he will have a lot to do in the future."

Even the third elder brother had already admitted his mistake, but Lu Chunyan did not give up because of this, and taught him a few words without hesitation.

"Yes, Xiao Wang has memorized it, I dare not or forget it."

Although Lu Chunyan's repeated lectures were not so pleasant to hear, the third elder brother did not show any anger, on the contrary, he responded humbly, and his convincing expression was beyond words.

"It's the best. Lu has some small things in Zhang Changchun's house in Xiangsi Lane. If it's convenient for the prince, send more people to move them back."

Seeing that the third elder brother was so respectful, Lu Chunyan didn't bother about the past anymore, and casually instructed the third elder brother.

"Zhang Changchun?"

Lu Chunyan's explanation sounds so weird, the third elder brother really couldn't recover for a while, so he just murmured unconsciously.

"My lord just sent someone to go to the lovesickness box, and I'll find out if I ask someone."

Lu Chunyan obviously didn't intend to go into details, but simply explained.

"Okay then, Xiao Wang will go there himself."

Seeing that Lu Chunyan didn't want to make it clear, the third elder brother didn't ask any further questions, and simply agreed, got up without saying a word, and went straight to arrange related matters without mentioning...

"Sir, here is what you want."

Third elder brother's work efficiency is quite high. In less than half an hour, he led several palace guards carrying a huge box and walked in from outside. First, he directed the guards to put the box in the study. On the ground, with a wave of his hand, all the guards were pushed back, and then he cupped his hands towards Lu Chunyan, and said very politely.

"Open!"

With a shake of his hand, Lu Chunyan took out a copper key from his wide sleeve, and casually threw it to the third elder brother.

"it is good."

The third elder brother didn't think too much, grabbed the key, bent down, moved to the copper lock on the box, stuffed the key into the lock hole, twisted it lightly, but heard a "crack", the copper lock The lock has been opened, and the third elder brother quickly took off the copper lock, and then lifted the lid, revealing the contents inside. There were stacks of neatly arranged documents, and his eyes could not help but froze, and then looked suspiciously at After meeting Lu Chunyan, after obviously hesitating for a moment, he still asked hesitantly: "Sir, this is..."

"This is a gift from the eighth master to the prince, all officials!"

Hearing the question from the third elder brother, although Lu Chunyan's face remained calm, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he gave the answer.

"what……"

Hearing this, the third elder brother's pupils shrank involuntarily, and he trembled involuntarily, but soon, an unstoppable wave of joy surged up from the bottom of his heart. , just because he has these things in his hands, his third elder brother can smoothly take over all the forces left by the eighth master, and this is exactly what the third elder brother has been looking forward to for a long time.

"During this period of time, there will be many disputes between the court and China. The prince can use this as a cover to start sorting out these documents. If you can get your hands on it, hurry up."

Lu Chunyan didn't feel sorry for Ba Ye's fate too much, but gave the third elder brother a solemn expression.

"Don't worry sir, Xiao Wang knows what to do."

The third elder brother has been "bearing humiliation" for so many years to get close to the eighth master, isn't it just to take advantage of the great power of the eighth master? Now, the opportunity to personally grasp such a power is in front of him, the third elder brother He was so excited that it was almost uncontrollable. After taking a few deep breaths, he barely calmed down, bowed to Lu Chunyan cautiously, and expressed his attitude with great respect.
