Seeing that the matter had been settled, Hongli focused all his attention on the chessboard and was no longer as casual as before. As a result, Hongzhou's pressure increased sharply. He finally gained a little advantage, but it was gone after three or two moves.
They pressed forward step by step and killed him to pieces. After "handsome" was eaten, Hong Zhou threw away the chess piece and said helplessly: "Every time I play chess with my fourth brother, I always lose. It's really boring."
Hongli took the tea handed to him by his servant, took a sip and said, "Since you are bored, why do you want me to drink it?"
Hong Zhou waved his hand to the servants to put the chessboard away, and said: "No matter how boring it is, it's better than playing alone. Besides, I thought after reading the chess records for so many days and thinking about it for so long, I should be able to beat the fourth brother, but I was still defeated.
I lost all my armor, but I will definitely defeat Fourth Brother next time."
Hongli smiled and said: "I'm waiting for you to win, but I will never deliberately let you win."
"I know that Fourth Brother has always said that the chess game is like a battlefield. Victory achieved through others' deliberate betrayal will make one blind and blind, unable to see the real situation and crisis. So I have never begged Fourth Brother."
At this point, Hong Zhou changed the subject and said: "I will not be able to come back until I go to Zhejiang for a month. When the second brother comes back, you will be the only one. Can you handle it?"
Hongli stretched out his hand and knocked on his forehead, saying: "Do you really think that Fourth Brother is a piece of paper? Go ahead and go to Zhejiang, don't worry about me."
Hong Zhou stroked his painful forehead and said aggrievedly: "Didn't I care about you? I treat my kindness like a donkey's heart and lungs, but I won't care about you from now on."
Faced with Hong Zhou's complaints, Hong Li laughed and said, "Okay, fourth brother is fine. But if you really go to Zhejiang and are alone outside, be careful. If you really feel embarrassed, don't force it. Fourth brother can
I don’t want anything to happen to you, understand?”
"As long as Mr. Li is here, nothing will happen." After discussing with Hong Zhou, Hong Li advised Yinzhen on the second day in court and asked Hong Zhou to go to Zhejiang so that he could observe the progress of Li Wei's new policy and conduct investigations.
Those people who are making trouble can also use this opportunity for Hong Zhou to gain experience.
After Yinzhen thought for a moment and asked Hong Zhou's opinion, he agreed to Hong Li's request and ordered Hong Zhou to go to Zhejiang immediately.
After leaving the Yangxin Hall, Hong Zhou kept a calm face and ignored Hong Li's words to him. Yingge saw this scene in his eyes and when he passed by Hong Zhou, he gave him a meaningful look.
The latter nodded knowingly, stepped out of the palace gate, mounted his horse and ran straight away. After a circle, he quietly came to the back door of Inge's mansion. A servant was already waiting there and invited him into the study.
As soon as Hong Zhou stepped into the study, he shouted before he said a few words: "Master Yingge, you must help me this time. I don't want to go to that ghost place in Zhejiang. Who knows what will happen after I go there?"
It will be like Fuzhou, and even the lives of people who come back will be lost."
"Please be patient, Mr. Beile." Yingge motioned Hong Zhou to sit down and said, "Since Mr. Beile doesn't want to go to Zhejiang, why did you agree to it just now? The emperor has opened his mouth, and even I don't have the ability to let the emperor do it."
Take back your life."
Hong Zhou said angrily: "You think I want to agree, but in the situation just now, if I didn't agree, Huang Ama would definitely not be happy, so I can only bite the bullet and agree. In my opinion, this is simply what Hongli is looking for."
Fazi wants to harm me, it’s so disgusting!”
Yingge rolled his eyes and said, "Is it possible that the fourth elder brother suspected you about the official affairs incident, so he laid such a big trick on you?"
"I don't know either." Hong Zhou said irritably, and then said: "No matter what, Mr. Yingge, you must help me this time. Zhejiang is a mess, and I really don't want to go."
"At this point, it's okay for Mr. Beile to go if he doesn't want to. But Mr. Beile in Zhejiang doesn't have to worry too much. They're just some rioters. I'm afraid they can't come up with any tricks, let alone the same as Fuzhou. Besides, Li Wei's hand
You have a whole province of soldiers in your hands, so you can definitely protect Lord Beile."
"That's what I say, but after all I don't know what I'm doing!" As he said this, Hong Zhou couldn't help but get up and walk back and forth, "Besides, it's such a mess over there, it's useless even if I go there.
Okay, I will still have to be scolded by Huang Ama when I come back, and this time I was really hurt by the fourth child."
Seeing Hong Zhou's frustrated and speechless look, Yingge secretly despised him. It was a joke that such a person wanted to become a big deal. However, he still needed to be used to deal with Hong Li, so he could not be ignored for the time being.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Actually, the implementation of the New Deal is Li Wei's business, and Mr. Baylor does not need to get involved."
"But..." Hong Zhou had just said two words before he was interrupted by Yingge: "Don't be impatient, Mr. Baylor, please listen to me first." After a pause, he said: "Just now, whether it's in Chao Shang or
If the fourth elder brother is still the emperor, he is just asking you to check the progress of the New Deal, so you only need to watch it without taking action. Even if the implementation in Zhejiang fails, it has nothing to do with you, Mr. Baylor, and you cannot be blamed. As for the people who are causing trouble, as long as you check carefully, they will definitely
We can find clues."
"That's easy to say. Li Wei was in charge of the entire Zhejiang Province and couldn't find any clues. I'm alone. Is it possible that I can find out the results?" Hong Zhou said in frustration, and then said bitterly: "This time I was really beaten by the fourth child.
He was killed, let’s see how I deal with him in the future!”
Yingge saw Hong Zhou's resentment in his eyes and said: "I know a few people in Zhejiang. I can ask them to help you track down the troublemakers. And, to put it bluntly, even if you really can't find those troublemakers,
Leader, Mr. Beile can just grab a few people to hand over, but the emperor will not interrogate him personally, don’t you think so?"
Hong Zhou cursed secretly in his heart, but smiled on his face, "Yes, Master Yingge is absolutely right. Why didn't I think of this method? But having said that, since Master Yingge has acquaintances in Zhejiang,
, then do you know why people suddenly made trouble? Although Li Wei is the person on the fourth side, he is quite capable and should not make the situation so out of control. It seems that someone is secretly deliberately stirring up trouble with him.
Li Wei got it right.”
Yingge's eyes flashed, he took a sip of tea and said: "This is unlikely. Even if there is any grudge, the New Deal is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Anyone who dares to make trouble at this time is going against the emperor!"
This old fox is clearly hiding something from him, huh, right? It's best not to let anyone find out, otherwise let's see if he can still drink tea leisurely like this.
Having said that, Hong Zhou no longer needed to stay any longer, so he stood up and left after a few words. The next day, Hong Zhou packed his bags and headed to Zhejiang to investigate the strange things that happened in Zhejiang.
