Kowloon wins

Chapter 837

"Hey, the prince is back, um, did something happen this morning?"

It's getting hotter in April, but Wu Sidao's body is weak. Even though the sun is shining brightly outside, he still wears two layers of clothes, and his legs are covered with a not too thick brocade quilt, and he is taking a nap leisurely. Looking at the chess record, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and he raised his head involuntarily. Seeing that the person walking through the door was Si Ye, his face was calm, but his eyes quickly passed by. There was a trace of surprise, nothing else, it's only past the hour, logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for the fourth master to return to the mansion at this time, and now that he has returned suddenly, there is no doubt that something went wrong in the court meeting.

"So that my husband can know that something strange happened in today's court. It's like this..."

The reason why the fourth master returned to the mansion in such a hurry was that he came here to find Wu Sidao to discuss the strange things, so he would not hide anything, as soon as Bu sat down, he chattered about what was going on in today's court Everything that happened was explained in detail.

"Oh, there is such a thing, um..."

After listening to the fourth master's explanation, Wu Sidao frowned immediately, his eyes flickered and he became thoughtful, speechless for a long time.

"Sir, this turmoil came very suddenly. If no one instigates it, Tao Yi, with his courage, should not dare to be so presumptuous. Among them, Hong Qing's son is undoubtedly the cause of trouble, and it should be the cruelty to the third child a few days ago." What do you think, sir?"

Fourth Master didn't dare to disturb Wu Sidao's thinking, so he could only wait silently, until Wu Sidao raised his head, Fourth Master hurriedly asked a question.

"Well, this is just one aspect. The reason why the third master was able to rise to power was because of the power of Prince Ren. Because of this, the third master was very afraid of Prince Ren and was too wary, so that he began to suppress him when he came to power. Prince Ren, perhaps because of Prince Ren's obedience and obedience in the past, the third master thought that after such actions, Prince Ren would not have any rebellion, but it was too much for granted. It's self-inflicted to fight back. However, Prince Ren did not set up this situation specifically to embarrass the third master. It is more likely to involve the eighth master and you, the prince, so that the two parties cannot retreat behind the scenes. To put it bluntly, what Prince Ren wants is to coerce the enemy into self-respect."

Since Wu Sidao raised his head, it means that he has already checked all the details in detail, and with a well-thought-out plan, he has already explained Hong Qing's fundamental purpose of playing such a move with just a little analysis. .

"Count the enemy for self-respect? Well, thanks to this kid, he figured it out, hey, if this king doesn't intervene in this case, how can he stand up to this king?"

Hearing Wu Sidao's analysis, Fourth Master immediately came to his senses, but he didn't take it seriously, smiled contemptuously, and said something sarcastically.

"Oh, the prince thinks too highly of himself. The person that Prince Ren set up this situation to hold back is Eighth Master. As for the prince, Prince Ren doesn't care at all whether he intervenes in this case."

Seeing that Fourth Master was so self-righteous, Wu Sidao couldn't help but smiled, and pointed out that Fourth Master was actually very weak, and it wasn't enough for Hong Qing to pay too much attention to it.

"..."

Being ridiculed by Wu Sidao, Fourth Master couldn't hold back his face, his complexion was constantly changing from red to white, his face twitched, but he couldn't say anything to refute, nothing else, just because Although what Wu Sidao said is not very pleasant to hear, it is an out-and-out fact - the fourth master followed the path of a lone minister in the battle for the heir apparent. What he is playing is the trick of "fighting is not fighting". In this way, the strength he possesses is the weakest among you brothers, plus the "blood droplet" who worked hard for many years during the Jingxingguan battle. Most of the elite were lost, and in the battle of Hanzhong this spring, Nian Gengyao and Fan Shijie, two important ministers of civil and military affairs, were lost. Yao, his son, and others are barely high-ranking officials. As for the rest of the staff, they are all unworthy people. I really don't know why he wants Hong Qing to pay special attention to them.

"My lord, don't worry too much. The benevolent prince is really not a kind person. When the late emperor was alive, he played a lot of dark tricks. The reason why he didn't kill him every time was not because of his kindness or unwillingness, but because of the late emperor. I don't want to see him, that's why he often puts you aside at critical moments. Now, it's his turn to seize the heir. Does the prince still expect this person to show mercy to everyone? No matter who it is, As long as he is targeted by this guy, the end will be absolutely miserable, from this point of view, the prince should be glad that this guy didn't pay attention to it."

Seeing Fourth Master sulking there, Wu Sidao was really angry and funny, shook his head helplessly, and simply pointed out the matter.

"Well, according to Mr.'s analysis, the king of this case should just sit on the sidelines?"

Even though he knew that what Wu Sidao said was the truth, Fourth Master still felt a little embarrassed, so he didn't want to entangle this issue any more, so he made a noncommittal noncommittal, and then changed the topic.

"My lord's words are wrong, such a good opportunity is in front of me, how can I let it go!"

When Fourth Master said this, Wu Sidao immediately shook his head again.

"Huh? Sir, what you mean is..."

The fourth master already wanted to ignore this turmoil, but he never thought that Wu Sidao would have ulterior motives, even if he frowned, thinking about it carefully, it was still not what he wanted, so he had to tentatively ask half of it son's words.

"Don't worry, my lord. Let Wu start from the beginning. Well, let's put it this way, after being swayed by Prince Ren in such a way, the third master will not change his mind to weaken Prince Ren, but will even worsen it. Of course, in short-term During the time, the third master didn't dare to act recklessly to suppress it anymore. The reason is very simple. Although the eighth master hadn't shown up in person today, he showed his hand in a good way. How could the third master not be vigilant, but the third master I don't want to rely on Prince Ren to balance the court anymore. What he wants is to be arbitrary, not to have someone snoring beside the couch all the time. To achieve this, the only way to do this is to start with military power. The opportunity came from the Northwest War!"

Wu Sidao waved his hand to signal Fourth Master not to worry, then cleared his throat a little, and unhurriedly analyzed Third Master's possible countermeasures in detail.

"War in the Northwest? Well, sir, you mean that once the Northwest is in chaos again, the third child will order Hong Qing'er to lead the expedition, and then take the opportunity to start a new fire in Beijing. Impossible, the old thirteen, the king is still clear, after several ups and downs, the old thirteen has long lost the vigor of the past. It is absolutely impossible for the old thirteen to fight Hong Qing to the end, this king can still see clearly."

Fourth master's mind is very sharp, just by listening to it, he already guessed what Wu Sidao said, but he obviously didn't take it seriously.

"What the prince said is very true. The prince can see through the temperament of the thirteenth master, but the third master may not be able to do the same. Of course, the third master may not necessarily put all the bargaining chips on the old thirteen. Mo I forgot that the third master still has another chess piece under his command - General Heda of Xi'an. If Wu's predictions are not bad, in the next few days, the third master will definitely transfer Heda back to Beijing, and maybe he will be specially referred to as Fengtai. The admiral of the camp, ask him to cooperate with the Thirteenth Lord to suppress Prince Ren, once Prince Ren leads the army to go out, Heda can take over the preparation and training of the new army in the capital, so as to control the situation in the capital in one fell swoop!"

Hearing what the fourth master said, Wu Sidao immediately laughed, clapped his palms, and explained in detail the contingency measures that the third master could take with a smile.

"Well..., if so, what should I do?"

After more than four months, the fourth master can be regarded as seeing through the character of Emperor Chengde. How can he still have the humility of Long Qianshi? How can the emperor control the situation in the capital, how can he be as good as his fourth and eighth masters, thinking of this, the frowning of the fourth master's frown suddenly became a little bit tighter.

"The third master has always been self-willed, and he took great pains to pull out such a trick, thinking it was concealed, but he didn't know it was just deception. Not only the prince can see through it, but the eighth master must also see it through, not to mention the cunning. It's just that the third master himself is still in the dark, let alone the stupidity of this person, since the eighth master and the benevolent prince can be counted as the third master's countermeasures, how could they not make corresponding arrangements? It's hard to predict what kind of backhand Prince Ren will set up, but what Ba Ye will do is pretty obvious!"

Wu Sidao was not in a hurry to answer Fourth Master's question, but analyzed the possible solutions of all parties on his own.

"Old eight? It's nothing more than a trick of mixing sand, but it's nothing more than trying to force people into the new army, but this is not a clever method. Since the third child wants to control the new army, I'm afraid it may not be possible." Just as the old man wanted."

The fourth master understood the eighth master to the core, Wu Sidao only said this, and the fourth master casually revealed the way of the eighth master's plan.

"It's impossible for the prince to think of this point. However, he only guessed half of it. The eighth master is planning a big situation this time. What he wants is to be the oriole that caught the cicada. If the prince If you take it lightly, you might become one of those cicadas.”

Wu Sidao became addicted to beating Fourth Master, no, just as Fourth Master finished speaking, Wu Sidao gave Fourth Master another blow in the face with a smile, even the dismissive smile on Fourth Master's face froze. On the spot, the quarrel twitched a few times, and he didn't know what to say...
