The reason why Hongli was so angry was because he thought of these things, and snorted coldly: "Since I came to the throne, I have tried my best to treat them well, but now it seems that I have become a troublemaker. Hongxi is like this, and Hongsheng is like this!" "Speaking of what he hates, Hong Li coughed loudly until his face turned strangely flushed before he managed to breathe. However, his hands began to tremble uncontrollably. Seeing him like this, Hong Zhou said worriedly: "Your Majesty, it's better to send the imperial physician to take a look."
Hongli put his hands behind his back and said: "No, it will be fine in a while." After a moment of pause, he continued: "It seems that Hongsheng is no longer suitable to stay in Shengjing."
Hong Zhou's eyelids twitched and he said: "The emperor wants to send him to Beijing? But..." He hesitated for a moment and said: "The emperor previously sealed Wanhua Tower in Hangzhou Mansion, and also dealt with Wang Wei, Fang Guancheng and others. He I may have been wary of the emperor. Once the emperor summons me, I am afraid that conflicts will intensify and things will change. In my opinion, it may be better to let me go to Shengjing."
"It won't work if I say no." Hongli rejected Hongzhou's proposal without any doubt. Although the latter felt that Hongli's attitude was a bit strange, he could only obey and said instead: "In this case, my brother suggested that in Beijing Strengthen the deployment of troops to prevent Hongsheng from causing rebellion. After all, he holds tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Shengjing. Once a rebellion breaks out, although it will not shake the foundation, it will definitely cause damage to the people."
Hongli smiled coldly and said: "I understand, so I leave this matter to you. If he obeys the imperial edict and goes to Beijing, then that's it. Otherwise... he will be seeking death!"
His cold words made Hong Zhou slightly shocked. Hong Li had always been extremely lenient towards his brothers from the same clan. When Hong Xi committed the crime, Hong Li did not take his life, but only imprisoned him. As for Hong who was accomplices with him, The punishments for Shen, Hongchang and others were even lighter, but this time, following Hongli's advice, he actually intended to take Hongsheng's life.
Also, I don’t know if he is overly concerned, but I always feel that Hongli’s temperament has changed a lot during this period, becoming a little cold and aggressive, and... When he entered the palace yesterday to pay his respects to E Niang, he heard E Niang mention the recent Regarding matters in the palace, Hongli and Xianyue had a very serious dispute because of Qiao Yan'er. Since then, Hongli has never set foot in the Kunning Palace. On the contrary, Qiao Yan'er is still waiting in the Yangxin Palace. Concubine Ying and Concubine Hui interceded for Xianyue one after another, but in exchange, Hongli scolded them and strictly ordered them not to mention the matter again.
After leaving Shoukang Palace, he wanted to visit Kunning Palace, but he was afraid of bringing trouble to Xianyue. In order to save Xianyue, he risked going up the mountain to hunt tigers, which already attracted a lot of rumors. Although Hongli finally found out that it was Yong Zhang deliberately caused trouble, but the knot... may not really be untied.
While he was thinking, Hongli's words came to his ears, "Lao Wu, what else can I do?"
Hong Zhou hesitated again and again, but finally handed over his hand and said: "To inform the emperor, I entered the palace yesterday and heard that the emperor and the queen had several disputes over Qiao Yan'er. I know that I should not ask about this matter, but I always think that, Qiao Yan'er has only been serving the emperor for a few months. It is difficult to see clearly whether her character is good or bad, and it is really not appropriate to trust her too much."
What Hong Li hates most now is that he heard the word Qiao Yan'er and was inconvenient to tell Hong Zhouming, so he could only impatiently say: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I know it well."
Hong Zhou thought that he was unwilling to listen to his own persuasion, so he persuaded him again: "Your Majesty, the Queen has been with you for more than twenty years. No matter good or bad, she has always stood by your side and weathered the difficulties with you. Sir,
I believe that even if everyone in the world betrays the Emperor, the Queen will never betray you."
Hong Li was about to muddle through the matter when he suddenly remembered that time in Hangzhou Mansion, when Hong Zhou risked his life and went up the mountain to hunt tigers. Although the original incident proved to be Yong Zhang's deliberate instigation, Hong Zhou...did he really not think about it at all?
?
Is the relationship from twenty years ago really broken off as Hong Zhou said? He is not sure, just like he is not sure that he can survive the drug addiction.
Hong Zhou didn't know what Hong Li was thinking. He waited for a long time without seeing Hong Li's answer. He thought he still believed that Qiao Yan'er was better than Xianyue. He was secretly worried and said: "Your Majesty, Qiao Yan'er..."
Hong Li raised his hand to stop Hong Zhou's next words, and after a moment of silence, he said with a complex expression: "You and I have always had the deepest relationship, and I trust you the most, and treat you like a brother and sister. You should know that I am most afraid of you.
What is the most important thing, and what is the last thing I want to see? I don’t want you to violate this taboo one day, do you understand?”
Hong Zhou's expression changed slightly. How could he and Hong Li, who had been brothers for more than thirty years, fail to hear the warning in Hong Li's words? Those words of Yong Zhang...after all, they still left an indelible shadow in Hong Li's heart.
It's just that he didn't understand why Hongli cared so much about Xianyue, why he treated her like that, making it almost difficult for her to gain a foothold in the palace. Moreover, according to the news he heard from the palace people, Hongli even wanted to abolish the queen.
meaning.
He took a deep breath and said calmly: "I understand, I have never wanted to violate the Emperor's taboos. The reason why I say this... I just don't want the Emperor to be deceived by a treacherous villain!"
Hongli showed a cool smile and said solemnly: "Don't worry, no one can deceive me!"
Hong Zhou wanted to mention Qiao Yan'er again, but after thinking again and again, he finally endured it and bowed to leave. When he was about to step out of the palace door, Hong Li suddenly said: "Old Wu, you must guard the ancestral legacy for me."
Don’t let anyone with evil intentions get a hold of the foundation we have laid down.”
Hong Zhou's previously suppressed doubts surfaced again because of these words, and he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, do you have anything to hide from my brother?" As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of Hong Li's trembling fingers from the corner of his eye, and hurriedly said
Said: "Is there something wrong with the dragon body?"
Hongli smiled and said, "Where are you thinking? I'm telling you to be careful when Hongsheng comes to Beijing, and don't let him cause any trouble. How about you, have you cursed me?"
Hong Zhou said hurriedly: "I don't dare, I'm just worried about the emperor, your hands..."
Hong Li glanced down and said casually: "It's nothing. I think I have approved too many memorials in the past few days, so I feel a little uncomfortable. It doesn't matter." Before Hong Zhou could say anything, he said again: "Okay, you can go down.
I will issue an order to summon Hongsheng to the capital tomorrow, and he will arrive in the capital in half a month, which means you only have half a month."
"My brother will make good arrangements for you, but your Majesty... it's better to send the imperial physician to have a look." Faced with Hong Zhou's uneasy words, Hongli smiled and said: "Okay, I will send the message later, please step back.
