Chapter 996

For such a strict teacher as Old Master Chen, Emperor Chengde has always been a little afraid. Pulled into the court for his own use, but he never thought that Old Master Chen would not appreciate it and insisted on staying with Hong Qing, and this obviously violated the taboo of Emperor Chengde, but Old Master Chen has the status of a teacher Now, Emperor Chengde really didn't dare to do anything about it, so he could only pretend to be invisible and play a trick of alienation. Now, at this delicate juncture, upon hearing the arrival of Old Master Chen, Emperor Chengde couldn't help but muttered in his heart, firstly, he was worried that Old Master Chen would be reprimanded in person, and secondly, he was also afraid that he was here to speak out for Hongqing's superior, so he didn't think too much about it He accepted his request to see him, but the words of refusal came to his lips, but he didn't have the courage to say it, so he could only hesitate there awkwardly.

"Your Majesty clearly learned that I believe that the Master must have come here for the matter of the Admiral of the Nine Schools. With his wisdom, there must be a good way to solve this disaster. Why don't Your Majesty listen to the Master's opinion."

Li Minquan and Old Master Chen have worked together for many years. Although the relationship between them is not good, they know each other well. From Li Minquan's point of view, Old Master Chen is a great Confucian, and he does not want to see the old incident of Xuanwu Sect repeated in his heart. It should also be beneficial for Emperor Chengde to stabilize the situation. In the current situation, there are only benefits, and there is absolutely no possibility of inappropriateness. In view of this, seeing that Emperor Chengde did not respond for a long time, Li Minquan may just Some couldn't bear it any longer, so they hurriedly remonstrated from the side.

"Well... then it's done."

Hearing what Li Minquan said, although Emperor Chengde was reluctant, he could only open his mouth with a slight frown.

"twitter!"

Since Emperor Chengde had a will, Li Dequan didn't dare to delay a little bit, he hurriedly bowed to the promise, and hastily left the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After a short while, he was accompanied by Old Master Chen in white robes from outside. After walking in, upon seeing this, Emperor Chengde didn't dare to sit still anymore, got up quickly, and walked down the front door.

"The old man kowtows to His Majesty."

Although Old Master Chen has the status of the emperor's teacher, but after all, he is already a courtier who has become an official. On such an occasion in the palace, the etiquette that should be performed cannot be omitted. Seeing Emperor Chengde coming forward to welcome him, I can't help but Dare to be disrespectful, hurriedly walked a few steps, grabbed the front of the imperial court, and had to pay respects to him.

"I can't do it, I can't do it, Master is my benefactor, I really can't afford your courtesy, let's just forgive both."

Emperor Chengde has always cherished feathers, how could he really let Old Master Chen give him such a big gift, if it spreads, a bad reputation of "disrespecting teachers and morals" will fall on him Emperor Chengde Come on, besides, at this moment, Emperor Chengde is still asking Old Master Chen, so he dare not put on the emperor's airs, before Old Master Chen kneels down, Emperor Chengde hastily rushed forward, be polite He stretched out his hand to support Old Master Chen's arm.

"I thank Your Majesty Ron."

Although Old Master Chen stood up following the support of Emperor Chengde, but Xie En's words were still not omitted.

"You don't have to be polite, master. I have been looking forward to you for a long time. I have long wanted to go to Qing'er's house to meet you, but I was afraid of disturbing you, so I delayed it. Fortunately, the master is here today, and I will go to see you at Qing'er's house." I have fulfilled my wish, hehe, come here, bring a few sons, I want to have a good talk with my master today."

Emperor Chengde held Old Master Chen's hand and never moved away. He put on an appearance of respecting his teacher, exchanged greetings very politely, and then loudly ordered the eunuchs who were waiting on the side to bring over tea tables, futons and other things. , very courteously invited Old Master Chen to the upper seat, but he himself sat in the lower seat.

"Master, please use tea!"

Emperor Chengde's hospitality was not limited to giving up his seat, when the young eunuchs served tea, he even took it with his own hands, held it in both hands, and handed it to Old Master Chen, showing the humility of a disciple.

"Your Majesty is very kind."

Regarding Emperor Chengde's graciousness, although Old Master Chen was courteous, his face was always very calm, and he was not in a hurry to explain the purpose of his visit. After thanking him, he sipped tea in a leisurely manner. The appearance of a person who has nothing to do, as if he came here specially to drink tea.

"Master, there have been quite a lot of turmoil in the recent court situation. I think Master has already known about it. I won't say much here. Today, chaos is about to break out. I don't know what Master can teach me?"

After all, Emperor Chengde was concerned about something, after a few pleasantries, he waved all the eunuchs who were accompanying him out of the hall, and bowed his hands to Old Master Chen with a respectful expression, full of sincerity He asked for advice.

"How can your majesty compare to the late emperor?"

Old Master Chen did not answer Emperor Chengde's question, but stretched out his hand to stroke the long beard on his chest, and asked slowly.

"This..., I'm afraid it's not as good as it is."

Upon hearing Old Master Chen's question, Emperor Chengde's face inevitably became rather embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he still gave the answer honestly.

"Well, how can His Majesty compare to Prince Ren?"

Old Master Chen did not comment on Emperor Chengde's answer, but asked another question in a leisurely manner.

"This, this..."

Emperor Chengde really wanted to say that he was better than Hongqing, but unfortunately, he himself didn't believe such words, so how dare he say it in front of Old Master Chen, but should Emperor Chengde admit that he is not as good as Hongqing? He couldn't let go of his face, and was so embarrassed that he could only hem and haw for a while.

"Your Majesty is not as good as the above, and is not as good as the below. Since this is the case, can it be cured by doing nothing?"

Old Master Chen didn't show much face to Emperor Chengde, and he didn't care that his old face was flushed red, with a straight face, he gave him a slap in the face with a slightly cold voice.

"Master taught me a lesson, but, well, I just can't help myself. This time the Nine-door Admiral's prison was robbed, and the government and the public were shocked. Although I have asked Qing'er to deal with this matter, but in my heart Some don't know the background, how about asking Master to take care of me?"

It has been nearly four years since Emperor Chengde ascended the throne, and he hasn't seen much improvement in his ability, but when it comes to his spirit, he is no longer the good student in front of Old Master Chen back then. Seeing Old Master Chen speak so clearly now, his heart I can't help being a little annoyed, but when I think that if I can't handle the case of the nine admirals well, Hong Qing will be kicked out of the stage if I fail, I really don't dare to vent my anger casually. In desperation, he had no choice but to play other tricks that Wang Gu left and right said.

"Since Your Majesty asked Prince Ren to handle this matter, then let him be responsible to the end, why worry so much."

Who is Old Master Chen, how could he not be able to hear Emperor Chengde's insincere words, but he was not angry, nothing else, as early as many years ago, Old Master Chen was familiar with Emperor Chengde's peeing temper, so he really had no hope It would be much easier, in fact, if it wasn't for ensuring the smooth continuation of the regime transfer, Old Master Chen would really be too lazy to come to see Emperor Chengde. , simply made a point.

"The meaning of the master is..."

Although Emperor Chengde's structure is relatively small, he is not a stupid person. Even though Old Master Chen never said clearly, he already understood the meaning of it, but he just understood it, and he was still very disturbed in his heart. After asking, half of the words came out.

"You can do something by doing nothing. Your Majesty, let's do it yourself. That's all for now. Whether you listen or not, your Majesty chooses for himself. I am leaving."

Now that what needs to be mentioned has already been mentioned, Old Master Chen didn't want to linger any longer, he shook his sleeves, got up, made an inevitable statement, and left without hesitation. Seeing this, Emperor Chengde was taken aback for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, calling out for each other, but in the end, he didn't say anything, and his complexion changed from red to white like a kaleidoscope .

"His Majesty."

As soon as Old Master Chen's figure turned out of the palace gate, he saw that Li Minquan, who was originally hiding between the front hall and the back hall, had already turned out from inside. After seeing that Old Master Chen had gone, he quickly rushed to the front of the palace. Bowing down, he called softly.

"Have you heard that?"

Hearing the sound, Emperor Chengde recovered from the embarrassing situation, glanced at Li Minquan with a slight frown, and asked a question in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, I think what the Master said is very true. At this delicate moment, one thing more is worse than one thing less. Let's see how Prince Ren judges the case before it's too late to make a decision."

Li Minquan had previously persuaded Emperor Chengde not to stir up trouble in this case, but Emperor Chengde pissed on his temper, but he couldn't listen to the faithful advice at all, which really made Li Minquan anxious and hypocritical, now, as old Master Chen is also like this Li Minquan would not have any objection to this general suggestion, so he quickly responded.

"Humph!"

Emperor Chengde actually had the intention of shrinking back, but his anger was very hard to dissipate. He did not respond to Li Minquan's admonition, but snorted impatiently, and stood in the hall with his hands behind his back. Pacing back and forth quickly, after a long time, he stopped his feet, shook his head with bitterness on his face, and said with a long sigh: "Oh..., let's just leave it at that, I'm tired, and I'll say Tired."

"Your Majesty is wise, I think that Zhang Tingyu is mature and prudent, and should be the deputy of Prince Ren, please Your Majesty to order."

Even though Emperor Chengde had issued an order to drive away guests, Li Minquan still did not dare to take it lightly. There is nothing else, the only one he can rely on right now is Emperor Chengde, so he can't help worrying that Emperor Chengde will act out of his will, which is urgent In a hurry, he made another remonstrance.

"Let's draw up an imperial edict."

Emperor Chengde originally wanted to struggle again, but in the end he still didn't have the courage, so he waved his hand disgruntledly and made the final decision weakly.

"Yes, Wei Chen obeys the order."

Seeing that Emperor Chengde finally calmed down, the big rock hanging in Li Minquan's heart fell to the ground, and he didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly bowed and agreed.
