Chapter 1029 The wind is rising (3)
"Since the prince can see through it, it is not difficult to deal with it."
Master Chen did not object to Hongqing's analysis, because what Hongqing said was almost exactly consistent with Master Chen's judgment on this matter. However, this was not the focus of Master Chen's attention. What he was concerned about was just how Hongqing would react.
"Master, I understand that the disciple has only one attitude towards this matter, that is, respecting the facts. Whether it is Liu Saner or Wan Hechun and other officials of the Ministry of Works, if there is any violation of the law and discipline, how should they be dealt with. The disciple will never have any partiality. This is the justice of the country and not a substitute for personal affairs. But if it is innocent, the disciple will not sit idly by. Even if it causes turmoil in the court, it is still not to be careless. This is the bottom line of the disciple's actions, and there is no way to discuss it!"
Although Mr. Chen did not say it clearly, Hongqing could guess what Mr. Chen had not finished. The so-called truth of advancement, retreat, gains and losses was nothing more than asking Hongqing to keep the army in check and sacrifice all the people involved in the case to stabilize the court. Hongqing was unable to agree with this. Even though he knew Mr. Chen was kind, Hongqing did not intend to accept it.
"It is undoubtedly good for the prince to care about his subordinates, but the current situation is subtle and turbulent, and he may be unfavorable to the country, so he must act steadily."
When Hongqing heard that he had already said this, although Mr. Chen did not agree very much, he could not persuade him again, so he could only give a tactful advice.
"Master said that the disciple will be able to be a good judge. The case is still unclear. It is too early to say that this is the case. And when the news from Cao Yanshan comes, it will not be too late to make a decision."
In fact, Hongqing was already tired of endless party struggles, and she had the intention of cutting the mess quickly. She was just a few attempts, and was delayed due to various changes. So she just took it aside and tried to do anything. She just said that it depends on the situation. With this thought, Hongqing would not say anything to Master Chen, so she just smiled indifferently and dealt with it perfunctorily.
“That’s good.”
Seeing that Hongqing had already expressed his unwillingness to say more, Mr. Chen was not willing to give more words, so he just looked at Hongqing deeply, responded calmly, and ended the discussion...
"Sir, how do you think about this case?"
Two flowers bloomed, each with one branch. Not to mention that Master Hongqing and his apprentice were discussing countermeasures, but the Fourth Master and Wu Sidao were also discussing the situation in the study.
"You can't accept this case. If you really want to handle it, let Prince Hongli handle it."
Although the Fourth Master looked plain when he asked, his expression was actually unconcealed, but in fact, there was an unconcealed excitement in his eyes. He was obviously preparing to throw his arms around and do something big. However, Wu Sidao not only did not encourage him, but instead poured a basin of cold water.
"Hmm? How do you say this?"
As soon as Wu Sidao said this, the Fourth Master was stunned. His eyes turned a few times, but he couldn't understand what the medicine was selling in Wu Sidao's gourd. In desperation, he could only ask with a frown.
"There is nothing else. The key to this storm is in the capital, not in the case itself. The prince must not forget that His Majesty has never mentioned Yue Zhongqi's Dingyou. It can be seen that the reason why His Majesty tried his best to get so hard is to transfer Prince Ren from the capital. He also took the opportunity to make trouble in the capital. At this delicate moment, the prince did not stay in the capital, so why did he go to Jinling to do it?"
Wu Sidao glanced at the Fourth Master in dissatisfaction, and analyzed the current situation without much pleasure.
"Well..., it's Xiao Wang who thought it was a bad idea. Fortunately, the imperial edict was not issued yet. In the afternoon, Xiao Wang went to the palace to see the third brother. But Xiao Wang was not sure. The third brother dared to take action so boldly. Isn't he afraid that Hongqing would be the one who transferred the army from other places to the capital?"
After hearing what Wu Sidao said, the Fourth Master believed it a little, but he did not believe it all. However, seeing that he frowned slightly, he raised his doubts in his heart.
"Ha, if I could think of it today, I might be afraid. However, all my mind is on the military power of Fengtai Camp, and I am afraid I have forgotten the rest."
Wu Sidao sneered disdainfully, and without any scruples, he ridiculed Emperor Chengde.
"This..., if the chaos arises, then..."
The Fourth Master believed in Wu Sidaozhi's will, and he was worried that Emperor Chengde's reckless behavior would completely anger Hongqing. If Hongqing dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops to the capital, Emperor Chengde would not have a good end, but the Fourth Master was afraid that he would be even worse. He couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, he hesitating and hesitating whether he should remind Emperor Chengde.
"The prince doesn't need to worry too much. The Qing Dynasty's country cannot be chaotic. Prince Ren is not a bandit. He dares not risk the world's chaos and will scramble to enter the capital. He may be more likely to stay away from other places for a long time, waiting for the life of the emperor to be exhausted. The so-called "Shen's life and death are inside, and Chong'er is inside, which is the reason."
Wu Sidao was obviously extremely distracted by the Fourth Master's concerns, so he gave an explanation casually.
"Well..., that's true. Since that's the case, Xiao Wang will take a sick leave and ask Li'er to go to Jiangnan for Xiao Wang. I think Li'er's ability will not be a bad thing."
It was not just Emperor Chengde who was aiming at Fengtai Camp. The Fourth Master was also coveting the First Army. In recent years, he has tried many ways to secretly send money to the army. Now, although he is still far from mastering this powerful army, he has already had some strength. He naturally does not want to miss such a good opportunity given by heaven. After a moment of pondering, he made his final decision...
"Stern brother, it's okay, it's okay, I'm not drunk. Please stay, let's go. If I'm fine, I'll leave first, let's go..."
The hour of Xu is approaching, and the night is already deep. The fifth prince, who is drinking a little high, is already shaking his way. Even with the support of two close guards, he still can't help but fall a little crooked when he goes down the steps. Even so, he is still talking nonstop.
"Okay, okay, Brother Wei knows that your fifth brother can do it. He is not drunk and still awake. Let's go back first, just see you tomorrow."
Drunk people always say that they are not drunk. The third prince naturally knows this. He will not care much about the fifth prince who is not very sober. He just persuaded him gently while accompanying the fifth prince down the steps in front of his mansion, and then ordered the fifth prince's accompanying guards. Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head slowly towards the mansion.
"gentlemen."
Although he was a little drunk, after seeing the fifth prince away, the third prince did not go back to his room to rest, but turned back to the West Flower Hall where he had previously drunk. When he saw Lu Chunyan drinking with a cup, he looked up and looked over. The third prince hurriedly saluted respectfully.
"Well, Master Third, please do whatever you want."
Lu Chunyan did not return the gift, but just nodded slightly, responding indifferently.
"Sir, my fifth brother is straightforward and has little experience. Even if the teacher gives advice from many sources, the students are still a little worried. If something goes wrong in Henan, the consequences may be unbearable."
During this plan, the fifth prince was originally asked to stand up just to arouse Hongqing's resistance, but unexpectedly, Hongqing did not fight, such a presiding mission fell on the fifth prince in a tragic way. For this reason, the third prince could not help but worry that the fifth prince, who had no experience in government affairs, would smash the mission. Today, he specially invited him to the mansion and let Lu Chunyan give him some advice. But even so, the third prince still couldn't calm down and had no other side. Therefore, the person he wanted to deal with was a great enemy like Hongqing. If there was a slight flaw, he would definitely bring the cruelest revenge.
"Third Master just worry, it's okay. No matter how the fifth Master handles the case, it doesn't matter, and Your Majesty won't care."
I have been drinking this kind of wine for a while since the end of the day. Speaking of which, Lu Chunyan has also drunk a lot and is a little drunk. He speaks a little casually.
"Well, what does this mean by sir?"
When the third prince heard Lu Chunyan's words, he was stunned. He frowned and thought for a moment, but he was confused and had no choice but to ask carefully.
"Haha, if the information is good, your Majesty will only want a conclusion that is unfavorable to the Ministry of Works. Once Prince Ren rises up and fights, Your Majesty will definitely let Prince Ren go to Henan to review the case. What's the next step? He must have to take action in the capital to seize the military power of Fengtai Camp. Such a plan is extremely simple, so why not guess?"
Lu Chunyan raised his hand and drank the remaining wine in the cup in one go, and gave the answer casually.
"So that's it, then..."
After hearing Lu Chunyan's analysis, the third prince's spirit was immediately revived. He had long forgotten his worries about the fifth prince. He was only thinking about whether he could use this east wind to get the Fengtai Camp. He just wanted to have the head and how to operate it. However, the third prince had no idea at all.
"Don't worry, take one step at a time, and if you really want to know the matter, it will take three months later. Just prepare your staff first."
Although the third prince never finished speaking, how could Lu Chunyan's IQ not tell what the third prince was doing? However, Lu Chunyan was too lazy to say more, and there was nothing else. In his opinion, it was already a blessing that the third prince could get a piece of the chaos in the Fengtai camp at this moment. As for talking about controlling the Fengtai camp in full, it was simply a joke. Didn't he see that Emperor Chengde himself was salivating at the Fengtai camp? How could he give the third prince an opportunity to take advantage of it?
"Well, then, the student will start to make arrangements tomorrow."
