Kowloon wins

Chapter 98 Who is more stupid than whom ([-])

"Grandma, you idiot, I knew that little bastard was not a good thing, well, this is another trouble, I really don't know how the third brother taught it!"

After Lao Ten laughed wantonly, he suddenly remembered that he himself had suffered from Hong Qing's loss, so he looked a little embarrassed, curled his lips, and cursed very bitterly.

"Brother Ten, you can't say that. Hey, old man Sa has always been arrogant, so he really has to deal with it like Brother Qing. This is what makes the wicked have their own way. Just wait and see, these two Come together, it would be weird if the Ministry of Industry doesn’t have a lot of fun, but my little brother is waiting to move a stool to watch the big show.”

Although they have different positions, the old fourteen still admires Hong Qing quite a lot, but he doesn't look down on the vulgar and sloppy old ten. At this moment, when he heard the sour words of the old ten, he secretly laughed in his heart. Didn't show it, but commented on the facts.

"The fourteenth brother's words are reasonable. In my opinion, the fire needs to be heated up even more. Mynah, do you think I will add some firewood to make this lively?"

Although Lao Jiu was laughing out loud before, after the joke was over, his mind was already set on the use value of this matter, not for other reasons, but because the prince has been pressing him very hard these days, showing his posture clearly We must use the Shandong case as a breakthrough to defeat the ambition of the Eighth Master and his gang in one fell swoop. Although the Eighth Master's side can barely bear it now, I can't help but worry that the Third Master will suddenly fall to the prince. If that is the case Well, Baye is afraid that something will happen to him.

"Ninth brother's words are right. The bigger the trouble in the Ministry of Industry, the sooner it will be. It will only benefit us and not harm us. I think it should be done!"

Among all the elder brothers, the old fourteen was the most intelligent. Jiuye had just started, and he had quickly calculated the pros and cons. Before Baye could express his opinion, he clapped his hands hard, a definite conclusion.

"In the middle, this matter should be quarreled in Dali. Whoever wins and loses is a good thing for our brothers. Hey, it's best to involve the third child, and fight with the prince to death." Knock, ha, that's not bad!"

Old Shiben is a very noisy master, this time he went to Shandong, he was very noisy, but unfortunately he was led by the nose by the third master, making him look ashamed, and he was very upset with the third master in his heart. At this moment, when he heard that there was an opportunity for the third master and the prince to confront each other, he immediately became energetic, and with a big grin, the nonsense was already gushing out.

"Well, sir, look at this..."

Hearing that the opinions of the younger brothers were so consistent, Ba Ye couldn't help being moved, but as a decision maker, he didn't dare to go casually, and didn't directly make a decision, but threw the problem to the always sitting upright Ruyi's Lu Chunyan.

"Baye, in your opinion, what is the purpose of the Holy Admiral Hong Qing sent to the Ministry of Industry?"

Lu Chunyan did not directly answer Ba Ye's temptation, but asked back calmly.

"This……"

After the court meeting the day before yesterday, Ba Ye asked Lu Chunyan the same question, but he didn't get a specific explanation from Lu Chunyan at that time, and now the question is reversed, it really made Ba Ye not know what to say for a while Understand.

Lu Chunyan is a top-notch wise person nowadays, and his mind is naturally very keen. When Eighth Master asked about Hongqing the day before yesterday, he had already seen what Tianxin wanted. The reason why he didn't say anything was because he was afraid of confusion There is nothing else in the heart of the master, the eighth master is currently in trouble, and he is too busy to take care of himself, so it is really inappropriate to have more gossip - the idea of ​​provoking the third master to fight the prince is naturally very tempting, but if it is to be realized, the prerequisite is three Master is stupid enough to be blinded by immediate interests, and this is obviously impossible, at least in Lu Chunyan's view, it is impossible if one is not careful, there is a possibility of self-defeating, and the fun will be great. Not to mention anything else, as long as the third master joins forces with the prince backhandedly, even if the eighth master's side is powerful, he will have to go around. Besides, the old man sent Hong Qing to the whole department for no reason - to poach the prince. The foundation, Lu Chunyan has already seen it clearly, the reason for not saying it is also because he doesn't want to disturb Ba Ye's mind in such a sensitive period.

"The world has been in peace for a long time, and the disadvantages are gradually emerging. Among them, the household department is the most important. The national treasury seems to be full, but in fact it has long been empty. Your Majesty is a wise king. Why don't you know the disadvantages? The reason why you don't move is that the time has not come. Also, the original Hongqing went to the household department, but let him stir up a pool of autumn water, this kind of intention is not bad, but Hongqing is cunning, and he didn't take the bait. Although your majesty didn't say it clearly, the grudge in his heart is inevitable , Today, if the third master can be chosen to fight fiercely with the crown prince, that would be great, but it is hard to say whether he can achieve what he wants, and if the grass is stunned, it will be a disaster."

Although he was reluctant to explain in every possible way, at such a time, Lu Chunyan had to vaguely point out the strangeness, probably because all the brothers are rebellious masters, if they really act recklessly , the consequences are quite unbearable, and Lu Chunyan dare not take this risk.

"Mr. Lu, if it's something else, the lower officials don't dare to talk nonsense, but when it comes to the Ministry of Industry, the lower officials still have some materials in their hands. Hey, with Samuha's self-willed temperament, he will lose face this time. To get back a place, once he and Hong Qing's eldest son fight, the next official can take the opportunity to pass the materials to Hong Qing, I think there will be a good show to watch."

Lu Chunyan's words were very cryptic, but most of the elder brothers were clever people, so they all heard the true meaning, and they all began to think about it, but Heshen seemed to be very shrewd, but in fact he was only half a fool , didn't know what was wrong with it, and interrupted a sentence from the side with a complacent look.

"That's right, the material in Lao He's hands is good. If it is really spilled, it should be enough for Old Sa to drink a pot. I still don't believe that Hong Qing'er won't take the bait!"

The old ten's scheming is far inferior to that of the other three brothers. Although he also vaguely noticed some strange things behind Lu Chunyan's words, he still didn't fully understand it. He wanted to think about it carefully, but was interrupted by He Shen , the pondering thoughts faded away, but he was very tempted by Heshen's proposal, slapped his thigh, and shouted impatiently.

"Sir, do you think it will be possible to test this matter?"

The eighth master is not comparable to the vulgar and sloppy tenth master. As soon as he heard it, he understood the true meaning behind Lu Chunyan's words, and he was quite excited in his heart. Once the crown prince falls, his eighth master is really not afraid that the third master will make big waves. He can't help but feel a little moved by Heshen's proposal. Big, he didn't dare to make a decision, so he murmured and asked.

"Since Mr. He has the heart, it's better to go and test the water."

Lu Chunyan didn't want to make any moves at this time, probably because he intuitively believed that since Mr. Kangxi sent Hong Qing, he would pay close attention to it all the time, and he would be in danger if he played tricks in it. Jing, wait until the elder brothers are all down, and then make a move, the profit will naturally be greater, but the eighth master has already asked the law like this, it is obvious that his mind has been moved, as a counselor, Lu Chunyan is really not good at speaking out against it Yes, it can only be a tactful suggestion.

"Well, no matter, Heshen, I'll take care of this matter. No matter whether it succeeds or not, escape is the top priority."

Lu Chunyan's words were all euphemistic, but Ba Ye knew it immediately after hearing it. The left and right were just talking about things around the corner. Generally, they didn't want all the elder brothers to reach out to them, but they just understood it, but Ba Ye didn't want to let go of this matter. Waiting for the great opportunity to add fuel to the flames, after careful consideration, he ordered Heshen with a solemn face, implying that Heshen will handle this matter by himself, and his eighth master does not intend to take care of it .

"Master, don't worry, this slave knows what to do."

He Shen didn't know the twists and turns in Ba Ye's heart, and he was thinking of bringing down Samuha, so he could take advantage of the situation and right him. Guaranteed, that self-satisfied look, as if the winning ticket is already in hand...

"The child kowtowed to the father and king."

After Hong Qing came out from the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, she did not go back directly to the mansion, but entered the palace again, but she did not see Mr. Kangxi, she just reported what she had reported for duty, Xiong Cilu, a senior scholar on duty, and got ready After the case was settled, I went to the "Kirin Firm" again, chatting nonsense with the old fifteen and the sixteen brothers, until it was almost dark, and then I returned with all my heart, and just arrived at the gate of the mansion, and got Mo Yu's Reporting that the third master was invited, Hong Qing dared not neglect to go, and hurried to the study in the inner courtyard, and saw the third master alone behind the copywriting, holding a book in his hand, seeming to be engrossed in reading it, But there was a faint haze between the brows, obviously her mind was not on the book, upon seeing this, Hong Qing's heart immediately moved, she had vaguely seen through the third master's worry, but she didn't bring it to her face , but quickly rushed to the front, and respectfully saluted and greeted him.

"Well, it's free."

Hearing the sound, the third master raised his head, seeing that it was Hong Qing, he frowned unconsciously, but he was not in a hurry to say something, but called out in a peaceful voice.

"Thank you, Father."

After Hong Qing politely thanked her, she immediately got up and stood with her hands down, as if listening respectfully to her instructions.

"I heard that you had some trouble with Sa Shangshu today, is there such a thing?"

The third master learned about what happened to Hongqing in the Ministry of Industry early in the morning. After laughing, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. What he was afraid of was that Hongqing would act recklessly without knowing the seriousness, not because he was worried about Hongqing. He couldn't fight against Samuha, but he was worried that it would be inappropriate to start a conflict with the prince at this moment, probably because the third master hadn't given up the idea of ​​defeating the eighth master in one fell swoop, even though he had reached an agreement with the eighth master's side. After signing the agreement, it is inconvenient for me to make a move, but I still hope that the prince can make a difference. This kind of thinking is obviously not good for outsiders. Now facing Hong Qing's sincere face, the third master pondered for a while, but still Instead of directly scolding, he asked in a calm tone.
