Hong Zhou sighed and said: "I understand how you feel, but all this has passed. Now, Thirteenth Brother, you are General Shengjing and hold great power. What else are you dissatisfied with? Some things should be let go.
, if you are too persistent, you will only be the one who suffers in the end.”
Hongsheng snorted coldly: "Let go? Fifth brother said it so lightly. If it were you, could you let go so easily?" Before Hong Zhou could answer, he shook his head and said: "I can't do it. Besides,
If they, father and son, really had good intentions towards us, they should have released my Amma from being banned twenty-eight years ago!"
"Twenty-eight years ago, when the late emperor had just ascended the throne, it was inevitable that he had many concerns. As for the emperor, he was just an elder brother at that time and could do nothing at all. I can't blame him."
Hongsheng smiled coldly, "That's right, I almost forgot about Yongzheng and your Ama. Of course you help him speak, so how can you be willing to say a fair word?"
"Thirteenth brother." Hong Zhou said helplessly: "What I said is fair. Let's not talk about the grievances of the previous generation. I only want to talk about it now. Why does the emperor feel sorry for you? Why do you want to do such a thing?"
"Have you finally stopped beating around the bush?" Hong Chang said proudly with his hands behind his hands: "Can a mere general from Shengjing be worthy of me? You must not forget that I am the eldest son of the imperial grandfather. If the legitimate son has no virtue, he should be punished.
I, Ama, will inherit the throne, but no matter how you calculate it, it will not be Yongzheng who is neither your direct descendant nor your eldest son."
Seeing that he was disrespectful to Yinzhen, Hong Zhou's face darkened and he said coldly: "Whether one is qualified to inherit the throne depends not on the age of the legitimate concubine, but on ability and virtue!"
"Xiande?" Hongsheng sneered: "Although I was imprisoned in the mansion, I heard that Yongzheng was famous for being mean and unkind. He was the cold-faced elder brother before him, and the cold-faced emperor behind him. Nian Gengyao followed him.
Conquering the world, what will be the result, other than being killed and not having a good ending, is such a person worthy of being called a virtuous person? This is simply ridiculous!"
"Hongsheng, don't go too far!" Faced with Hongzhou's scolding, Hongsheng didn't care. After drinking the wine in the glass, he raised his head and said: "Is it just that you can't stand it? Then I'll just watch.
What if Ama dies of depression? When you and Hongli were enjoying the glory in the Forbidden City, did you ever think of me for a moment? Have you thought of my Ama?" He walked up to Hong Zhou and spoke word by word.
Said: "Since I became sensible,
A thought often appears in my mind, I hope my Ama dies, because E Niang said that as long as Ama dies, all of us can be free and leave this mansion that weighs us down;
Can you understand what it feels like to actually want my own mother to die? Sometimes I wonder, if God knew my thoughts, would he rain down a thunder and kill me?"
Hong Zhou took a deep breath and said: "You may have had a hard time in those years, but everything has passed. People should look forward. Looking back blindly will only make themselves fall into pain. There is a saying in Buddhism:
Only when you can put it down can you lift it up. If you can lift it up and put it down freely, you are a free person."
"A free man?" Hongsheng sneered: "Unfortunately, compared to the free man you call me, I want to be a master!"
Hong Zhou looked solemn and said: "This is a road of no return. Once you step on it, you can never look back. Hong Zhou, please think clearly!"
"Do you think I can turn back now?" Before Hong Zhou could speak, he shook his head and said, "It's impossible. When Hong Li found out about Wang Wei and others, I couldn't turn back."
"As long as you are willing to stop, the emperor will care about brotherhood, and I will be your guarantor. You will not have to worry about your life. At most..." Before Hong Zhou could finish speaking, Hong Zhao had already said: "At most, it is just
Are you going to imprison me and imprison me until death just like my Amma?"
Hong Zhou sighed and said earnestly: "No matter what, this is a way to survive, why do you have to go to the road of death?"
Hongsheng smiled faintly and said: "How did fifth brother know that this is a dead end? Maybe he is embarking on the road to the sky!"
"Impossible. I know very well how many troops you have. With these people, it is impossible to invade the capital. What you will face will only be a dead end!"
Hongsheng poured himself a cup of wine nonchalantly and said in a low voice: "No one can predict what has happened. According to me, instead of worrying about these things, Fifth Brother should worry about himself."
Hong Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "You want to kill me?"
Hongsheng slowly swung his seven-full wine glass, "Didn't Fifth Brother think about this issue before coming to Shengjing? Don't tell me that you are really just here to visit the sick."
Hong Zhou stared at him closely, his eyes as deep as a thousand-foot deep pool, "Old Thirteen, are you really unwilling to look back?"
Hong Shan handed the wine cup in front of him and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, I don't want to wait for death in the position of General Shengjing, nor do I want to give up what belongs to me to others, and once I give up, I will do it for the rest of my life!" Jian Hong
He didn't take the wine cup during the day, and said with an undiminished smile: "Drink, this is your last meal, don't say that I, a brother, don't care about brotherhood, I just want you to eat and drink before you go on the road!"
"So, I still want to thank you?" Regarding Hong Zhou's sarcasm, he said indifferently: "Thanks or scolding, it is no longer important to me. I will launch my army early tomorrow morning.
The capital, please join forces with Chieftain Zagu to conspire for the throne. When I ascend the throne, I will definitely send someone to your grave to inform you!"
Hong Zhou, who had always looked calm, suddenly changed his expression when he heard these words. He grabbed Hong Shan by the collar of his clothes and said sternly: "What did you say, Zagu Chieftain? Are you colluding with him to rebel?"
Hongsheng looked down at the wine stains on his clothes, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that a glass of good wine has been lost!"
"I'm asking you something, tell me!" Faced with Hong Zhou's questioning, Hong Sheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't Fifth Brother just say that with my small force, it is impossible to invade the capital?
In this case, of course I have to find helpers. In addition to Cangwang, the chieftain of Zagu, there are also those governors and governors. Although the number of troops is not large, it is enough to think about it. Hongli... will soon no longer be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
!”
Hong Zhou tried his best to suppress the shock and anger in his heart, and said in a cold voice: "So what if you are allowed to ascend to the throne of God? In the history books, you will be labeled as someone who conspired to usurp the throne, and you will be reviled for eternity!"
Hong Sheng said disapprovingly: "Winning or losing, as long as I win and ascend to the throne of God, I can write whatever history books I want. The ones who will be reviled will be Yongzheng and Qianlong!"
Hong Zhou stared at him for a long time, shook his head and said: "You are really crazy!"
Hongsheng put down the wine glass, took out the handkerchief and wiped the wine stains on his hands, and said in a cold tone: "After talking so much, it's time to end!"
