Chapter 995 Calm things down ([-])

"If you go back to Huang Ama, my son is involved in this case, you should avoid suspicion and let Huang Ama decide everything. My son has no objection."

Hong Qing is an extremely shrewd person, at this point, how can she fail to see that Fourth Master and Li Minquan have actually seen that they have the intention to make trouble by taking advantage of this turn of events, but they don't take it too seriously In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are nothing more than the lingering snow under the scorching sun, and it is impossible to cause huge waves. It must be done like this. After all, if Emperor Chengde could understand people, Hongqing would not want to do things to a dead end. It was not because she was worried about the bad reputation of "usurping the throne", nor was it because she had been thinking about it earlier. "Smooth handover of power" is just a kind of mentality that nothing can be done. The left and right courts are already under Hong Qing's control, and the difference between the superior and the not superior is really not that big. After thinking about it, Hong Qing seemed very casual when answering Emperor Chengde's question.

"Well……"

The more Hongqing didn't care, the more guilty Emperor Chengde felt. After so many years of getting along with his father and son, Emperor Chengde knew Hongqing's temperament very well. It can't be this kind of attitude, it is precisely because of this kind of understanding that although Emperor Chengde was very unhappy with Hong Qing's casual appearance, he didn't dare to make a decision lightly, so he could only pretend to be in a state of contemplation He groaned, but his eyes slipped unconsciously to Li Minquan, apparently asking Li Minquan to come forward and get a charter.

"Your Majesty clearly learned that this minister thinks that Prince Ren always handles things fairly and strictly, and that others may have to be scruples about the matter of avoiding suspicion. However, as far as Prince Ren is concerned, it is not necessary."

Li Minquan has never been a magnanimous master. He thinks that he was cheated by the third elder brother this time, and he is inevitably a little annoyed at the third elder brother in his heart. The third elder brother looked at it a little bit, and then hurriedly said a word of advice.

"Well, what Zicheng said is very true. I think so too. Let Qing'er deal with this matter. If there is any result, it would be better to report it to me as soon as possible."

When it comes to the ability to govern the country and the way of wise calculation, Emperor Chengde can only be regarded as a barely qualified master, but there is one thing that is still advisable, that is the ability to observe appearances, although he still cannot clearly understand Li Minquan's uncharacteristic behavior The fundamental intention of helping Hongqing to speak well, but he has clearly sensed that there is something wrong with today's situation, so he doesn't want to discuss it further, so he waved his hand and dismissed the case in a very gentle manner. It was handed over to Hong Qing, without even mentioning a time limit for solving the case.

"Huang Ama is sagely wise, and my son should do his best."

Hong Qing's left and right attitudes are irrelevant, since Emperor Chengde has learned to stop mentioning the dismissal and replacement of the nine admirals, Hong Qing is much less lazy, and praised in a calm voice.

"Well, I'm a little tired. Zicheng left behind a draft edict, so let's wait and see."

Emperor Chengde was already full of doubts in his heart, seeing that Hongqing had already received the order, he didn't want to discuss any further, and with a wave of his hand, he gave the order to chase away the guests.

"Your Majesty (Huang Ama) is wise, and my younger brother (son) will retire."

After discussing the matter, all the people had their own thoughts, but no one dared to say any more. After they all praised each other, except for Li Minquan, all of them left the Hall of Mental Cultivation and went their separate ways.

"Zicheng, you have made it clear to me, why do you want me to let you go, huh?"

After everyone retreated, Emperor Chengde's calm face suddenly darkened, he gave Li Minquan a gloomy look, and asked impatiently.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Don't you think that Prince Yong's actions today are too strange?"

Faced with Emperor Chengde's stern questioning, Li Minquan couldn't help feeling distressed, but he couldn't say clearly that Emperor Chengde's reaction was too slow, so he could only helplessly point it out.

"Well, the fourth child has always been at odds with Qing'er, but today it's strange that he's trying so hard to speak for him. Could there be something big going on here?"

Emperor Chengde indeed saw that the fourth master is acting differently from the past today, but he couldn't figure out why, so he couldn't help but wonder if the fourth master had secretly joined Hong Qing. Suspicion, Emperor Chengde would not say such words clearly, so he just asked a vague question.

"Your Majesty, in my view, the fourth master is not helping Prince Ren, but you."

Seeing that Emperor Chengde was still ignorant, the bitterness in Li Minquan's heart inevitably became stronger, and in desperation, he could only reveal the truth with a bitter face.

"Huh? Help me? What does Zicheng mean by that? Why does the more I listen to it, the more confused I become."

Emperor Chengde is really the kind of master who is shrewd in small things but ignorant in big things. Even though Li Minquan had already made his words so clear, he still couldn't understand the mystery.

"Your Majesty, although I don't know the reason, I know that Prince Ren may have really turned his back on it this time. If His Majesty has not restrained himself before, then Prince Ren will probably lead the army into the city."

When Emperor Chengde appeared so stupid, Li Minquan really couldn't laugh or cry, but because the matter was so important, he didn't dare to play riddles anymore, and simply opened the skylight to speak out and pointed out the real danger.

"Huh? Ni Zi'an dares to be so presumptuous, how can I forgive him lightly, I, I..."

When Li Minquan said this, Emperor Chengde finally understood, and when he was furious, he cursed away with a ferocious expression, but before he cursed a few words, extreme fear surged up in his heart involuntarily , Feeling guilty, his face turned pale in an instant, and he didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down, I think that the matter has not yet reached the critical point, and with a little adjustment, it should not be difficult to deal with it."

Seeing that Emperor Chengde was so terrified, Li Minquan's heart was really full of mixed feelings, nothing else, Hongqing's side, he would definitely not go back, and the third brother's side, since he dared to trick him, Obviously, he didn't take him too seriously as a minister of military aircraft. At this point, the only person Li Minquan could cling to was Emperor Chengde. Because of this, even if he knew that Emperor Chengde was not Ying Lord, Li Minquan can only do his best to plan for it.

"Zicheng has always been very wise. There must be someone who can teach me. Please tell me clearly. I just listen to it."

Emperor Chengde's intention to target Geng Sanbiao this time was to suppress Hongqing, and did not expect to shake Hongqing's foundation. He thought that Hongqing would maintain the forbearance of the past year, but he never expected that Hongqing would be provoked. Such a brutal blow from Qing made her panic-stricken. Hearing that Li Minquan said that he had a countermeasure, his spirits were revived, and he hurriedly asked for advice.

"Your Majesty, according to Weichen, Prince Ren is still uncertain whether to rebel or not. As long as he doesn't stimulate his rebellion, he will be safe."

Li Minquan is worthy of being a top expert in observing color and appearance, and having been with Hong Qing for many years, he still has some understanding of Hong Qing's disposition. Now, after analyzing it, it really seems to be far from the truth.

"Hmph, I am the emperor, how can I allow that kid to force me so much, if everything is according to his will, I am not the emperor!"

As soon as Li Minquan opened his mouth and wanted to give in, Emperor Chengde couldn't help being furious, snorted coldly, and vented angrily.

"Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down, the matter of the nine admirals is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. Those who can commit robbery and murder in a heavily guarded prison are really beyond the reach of human beings. It's difficult to find out the whole case in a short while, Your Majesty can let him investigate, and if you don't listen to it, Prince Ren will definitely understand His Majesty's intentions, and he should not act perversely. As for the future, we will talk about it in the future Not too late."

In Li Minquan's eyes, Emperor Chengde's ruthless words of slapping a swollen face to pretend to be a fat man were nothing more than meaningless clamor. If he really could do anything to win Hong Qing, how could he be in such a predicament? With insufficient strength in hand, if you want to fight head-on with Hong Qing, you can only seek your own death. The problem is that Li Minquan and Emperor Chengde are now two grasshoppers on the same rope. Don't want to have a good end, Li Minquan knew very well about this, he was unwilling to be buried for Emperor Chengde, so he hurriedly explained.

"Let's talk about it in the future? Hmph, I've said this since I became the throne, and now I still have this tone. If this goes on like this, I still have a future to speak of!"

Li Minquan's words were extremely sincere, but Emperor Chengde was unwilling to be reconciled, nothing else, he had been enthroned for almost four years, and he still hadn't been able to control the power of the court. Dealing with Hongqing, but the result is that the more you deal with it, the more powerful Hongqing will be. Under such a predicament, Emperor Chengde's psychology has become distorted to the point of paranoia.

"Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down, I think this is a big deal, so don't be reckless."

Seeing Emperor Chengde talking nonsense there, Li Minquan couldn't bear it any longer, and quickly fell to his knees, kowtowed and begged bitterly.

"Hmph, I..."

Emperor Chengde was on fire right now, so how could he listen to Li Minquan's earnest words, and just focus on having random attacks.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, Chen Menglei and Old Master Chen are asking to see you outside the palace gate."

Just when Emperor Chengde was furious, he saw Li Dequan hurried up to the hall, and hurriedly said something.

"Ok?"

As soon as Old Master Chen arrived, Emperor Chengde couldn't help being suffocated, and for a while, he really didn't know how to make a decision...
