Kowloon wins

Chapter 976
It was near dusk, the setting sun was like blood, reflecting the original green pond as red as blood, and several branches of remnant lotus stood upright, swaying with the wind, creating a desolate scene. Perhaps influenced by this scene, there is a peaceful song "" "Pingsha Luoyan" was stunned by Lu Chunyan's playing with a bit of sadness, and the third elder brother who came in a hurry couldn't help but stop.

"My lord is here, sit down."

At the end of the song, Lu Chunyan finally raised his head and nodded expressionlessly.

"Is there something on your mind, sir?"

The third elder brother was not reserved, but seeing him walk into the Linchi pavilion gracefully, he lifted the hem of his robe, sat on the futon opposite Lu Chunyan, and then shook his wide sleeves smartly, very happy Inquired sympathetically.

"It's nothing, I just feel it occasionally, let's not talk about this, what did Master Li say?"

Lu Chunyan obviously didn't want to discuss his own state of mind, so he changed the topic after a perfunctory sentence.

"Just as Mr. expected, Mr. Li came here to deliver the imperial edict, and what he wanted was for Xiao Wang to fight to the death with elder brother in the court meeting."

Seeing that Lu Chunyan asked something serious, the smile on the third elder brother's face immediately faded, and he replied solemnly.

"Well, what is your lord going to do?"

Lu Chunyan didn't comment on San Age's words, but continued to ask questions calmly.

"Sir, Xiao Wang doesn't need to give the face of the second child, but since Mr. Li has already opened his mouth, this..."

Although it was agreed yesterday not to intervene in the court discussion, it was aimed at the second elder brother's proposal, and now, not only the secret decree from Emperor Chengde, but also Li Minquan's face, The third elder brother inevitably hesitated in his heart.

"Lord Li's face? Heh, it seems that the prince still doesn't understand what the distinction between master and servant should be. With such a mentality, if he wants to compete with Prince Ren, he may have no hope at all."

As soon as the third elder brother showed such hesitation, a sarcasm smile appeared on the corner of Lu Chunyan's mouth, and he gave him a slap in the face without any politeness.

"Xiao Wang doesn't know, so please give me some advice."

Hearing Lu Chunyan speak so emphatically, the third elder brother couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and bowed his hands towards Lu Chunyan with a slightly uneasy expression. He seemed to ask for advice politely, but in fact he obviously had a few traces of it. The meaning of being angry with dissatisfaction.

"The prince is not convinced? Oh, that's good, Lu can just talk about it for the prince."

As soon as the third elder brother showed such an angry look, the sneering smile on the corner of Lu Chunyan's mouth immediately became stronger, and he stretched out his hand to stroke the long beard on his chest, and analyzed unhurriedly: "Your Majesty Dao lies in giving both kindness and power, and paying equal attention to rewards and punishments. This one is easy to say, but difficult to do. There is no other, human kindness, let's take Li Minquan as an example. This life is always thin-tempered. Although he has a little talent and learning, he is mostly insidious. It's just for use, if you can get things done, although you have the power to support and support you, but you are more likely to be flattered by Prince Ren, but you can betray Prince Ren, is it because of your brilliance, lord? The reason why he shows his favor to the prince is nothing more than not being able to be reused by the benevolent prince. Looking at the elder brother today, except for the prince, Li Minquan has no one to rely on. Therefore, the prince is the master, Li Minquan is the man It's just a servant, if you use it, you can use it, if you don't use it, what can it do? Could it be possible to return to Prince Ren's command? I'm afraid it can't be done. Now that I haven't won the hearts of all the courtiers, how can I compete with Prince Ren and force myself to do it, but I will only ask for death, so I must not do it!"

"Sir, the lesson is right, Xiao Wang knows what to do."

The third elder brother is not a dull person, this time Lu Chunyan has already spoken so clearly, he will not understand, and he is ashamed, but he is very sincere in his answer.

"Don't worry, my lord. Lu hasn't finished speaking yet. Heh, it doesn't matter whether Li Minquan's face is given or not. However, he has to express something. The rest of the people can stay still. Arson and Nalan Kui said two People have to do it with all their strength, and in this way, it can be regarded as an explanation to the present."

Hearing the third elder brother's statement, Lu Chunyan immediately smiled, waved his hands, and gave the final suggestion unhurriedly.

"Wonderful, just as Mr. said."

As soon as Lu Chunyan's suggestion came out, the third elder brother was taken aback for a moment, but he soon understood what was wrong with it. There was no one else. Both Arson'a and Nalan Kuixu were the backbone of the Eighth Master's party. Now the Eighth Master The case is still under trial, and it is hard to guarantee that the two will not be implicated. If they can stand firmly on the side of Emperor Chengde in this court meeting, they will surely escape a catastrophe. The third elder brother will also become the leader of the second largest force in the court. Given time, it may not be possible to wrestle with Hong Qing. Because of this, the third elder brother will not have any objection to Lu Chunyan's words. With a high five, Then he made his final decision with a smile on his face...

"The prince is here."

At the end of Youshi, the sky was already dark, and the inner study room of the Summer Palace was brightly lit. Old Master Chen in white robe sat alone in front of the chess pieces, playing chess leisurely, until there was a sound of heavy footsteps, Old Master Chen said Hearing the sound, she raised her head, seeing that it was Hong Qing, a gratified smile immediately appeared on her face, and she greeted her kindly.

"The disciple has seen the master."

After several days of continuous rotation, even Hong Qing, who has built up a good body since she was a child, is already a little tired, her handsome face is full of tiredness that cannot be concealed, and there is even a few traces of melancholy between her brows. It was obvious that she was not in a good mood, but even so, Hong Qing did not forget the etiquette, but after seeing him salute and greeted him respectfully, she sat cross-legged on the futon opposite Old Master Chen.

"Is the prince still worried about the court meeting in the morning?"

Old Master Chen gave Hong Qing a meaningful look, and asked a question with a smile.

"Master, my disciples have already arranged all the matters, and I don't have to worry about passing the court meeting. It's just a fierce court battle, but I'm afraid that people's hearts will be scattered, and there will be great chaos in the future. It's really not as good as... …,Um……"

Facing Old Master Chen's questioning, Hong Qing didn't hide much. Although she never finished her sentence, she was obviously extremely bored with the current situation that was constantly involved, and she was about to blurt out the words about the old affairs of Xingxuanwumen, but Thinking of Old Master Chen's resolute opposition to this matter, Hong Qing finally didn't say such words, but just sighed sullenly and let it go.

"My lord is too worried. This court dispute is nothing but a one-sided situation. There will definitely not be any big disturbances to speak of."

Even if Hong Qing didn't finish what he said, with the wisdom of old master Chen, how could he fail to guess Hong Qing's unfinished words, but old master Chen didn't pay attention to it, but raised a point based on the facts.

"Perhaps so."

In fact, Hong Qing has never been worried about this court meeting. Nothing else, just relying on the strength in her hands, even if it is not considered military power, it is not something that Emperor Chengde can shake. Along the way, there is nothing to worry about. What really bothers Hongqing is that under the situation of constant party disputes, the booming economy in the country will be greatly affected. Where did you go.

"My lord, let's relax. In this court discussion, only the fourth master and his son will do their best. As for the other forces, since they have nothing to do with themselves, most of them are just sitting on the sidelines. There is something wrong, after this matter is over, it must be time to stop today, the prince has something to arrange, so he can go calmly, once the military affairs are over, the overall situation will be settled. "

Although Hong Qing was not in high spirits, Old Master Chen didn't take it seriously, but spoke words of comfort patiently.

"Well, Master is right, and that's fine."

What Old Master Chen said was painstaking, and Hong Qing could understand it. Although she was a little bit unwilling, she could only follow the trend...

"Your Majesty, the empress is here."

At the end of the Xu period, the night was a bit late, but Emperor Chengde did not go to bed, he was pacing in the study with his head bowed, worrying about himself, when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, Li Dequan had already left in a hurry. Walking out from behind the screen, he rushed to the front of the imperial court and reported in a low voice.

"Well, Xuan."

Hearing that Mrs. Dong E had arrived, Emperor Chengde immediately raised his frowning brows, without any nonsense, waved his hand, and announced it directly.

"twitter."

When Emperor Chengde opened his mouth like this, Li Dequan didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly responded respectfully, and left the study in a hurry, without hesitation, he saw Dong Eshi in a fine attire leading a few court ladies from outside Come in.

"The concubine kowtows to His Majesty."

Dong E's family walked gracefully in front of Emperor Chengde, and the prospering land was a blessing.

"The queen doesn't need to be too polite, just let it go."

When Emperor Chengde was in Longqian, he was a little afraid of guilt, and now that Dong Eshi was invited here, he wanted something from others, no matter how annoying he was, he still had to force a few smiles, which is really polite The ground cried out.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron."

Hearing Emperor Chengde's cry, Dong E stood up, but he didn't ask what the purpose of Emperor Chengde's invitation was, but just looked at Emperor Chengde calmly.

"The empress must have heard about it. I plan to let the second child and that boy Hongli manage the Ministry of Industry together. It can be regarded as sharing my worries, but I never thought that Qing'er would have objections to this, hooking up with many courtiers and wanting to do it." The act of strong remonstrance has made me very upset, does the empress have any advice on this?"

Stared at by Dong E's eyes like autumn water, Emperor Chengde felt ashamed for no reason, and his old face blushed slightly, but after obviously hesitating for a while, he still bite the bullet and asked: .
