Chapter 1006 One Press to the End ([-])
"Yo, the prince is here, early!"

"Little brother has seen big brother."

"My nephew is here, early!"

……

On the fifth day of March in the fifth year of Chengde, it was the time of the early court again, and the room of the Southern Dynasty was already full of people. All the dignitaries of the first rank and above were divided into a dozen small circles, chatting casually. But when they saw that Hong Qing was about to come in, no matter if it was the elder princes or a group of elder brothers, they immediately got up together and greeted each other chaotically.

"Good morning, gentlemen, let's all be free."

Facing the greetings of the crowd, Hong Qing was as usual modest, bowed politely, calmly and calmly, just like a normal time, unaffected by the turmoil of public opinion in recent days.

"Brother Qing, sit here."

The old sixteen had always had a carefree temper, and he didn't care about the occasion, so he didn't wait for Hong Qing's greetings with everyone to end, he dragged Hong Qing to the side without hesitation. All the dignitaries couldn't help laughing at it, but no one complained, they gathered in small circles and chatted nonsense, only the fifteenth one followed silently. walked aside.

"Grandma is a bear, little Si'er has been crazy enough these few days, not to mention running around, and actually ran to the family's mansion to stir up trouble, saying that you Qing brother is extravagant and wasteful, and you are corrupt Chao Gang, I heard that my master was very angry, so someone beat that bastard out, you bastard, I don't even look at the relationship between my master and your brother Qing, hey, how dare you come here to lay maggots, aren't you looking for smoke? Turning around, someone found out the kid's fault, and dragged him into the mansion, so as to give this guy a hard time, and see if he is still rampant!"

Old Sixteen had a straight temper, and was never able to keep his words in his heart, especially in front of Hong Qing. As soon as Bu sat down, he chattered a lot.

"Oh, Uncle Sixteen, don't worry, there will be such a chance."

Although Hongqing had made a plan to deal with the fourth elder brother, but for the sake of confidentiality, except for a few necessary confidantes, she never mentioned it to others, even the old fifteen brothers who are absolute confidantes are still unknown. In the drum, now, although the mobilization is imminent, Hong Qing still didn't intend to say it clearly, and just said something meaningful.

"Hey, that's right, let's let that kid go crazy."

The old sixteen was a bit rough, but he wasn't stupid, he could hear something strange about what Hong Qing said, he couldn't help being taken aback, but he soon came to his senses, but seeing a frown Yang, smiled evilly, and uttered a voice in a sympathetic manner.

"Brother Qing, this chaotic discussion is not small, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop it for a while. If you modify the regulations a little bit, I, 'Eight Banners', will take over. Let's see who else dares to gossip of."

The old fifteen was careful, even though he had already heard that there was something strange in Hong Qing's words, but he didn't think that he could suppress the turmoil smoothly by rectifying the fourth elder brother, after all, the reason for the turmoil The big trouble is entirely due to Emperor Chengde fueling the flames behind the scenes.

"Uncle Fifteen don't have to worry, my nephew has his own sense of proportion. The current priority of the 'Eight Banners Company' is foreign trade, so it's better not to meddle in domestic affairs."

Old Fifteen's proposal was naturally well-intentioned, but Hongqing didn't intend to accept it, nothing else, the scale of the "Eight Banners Company" is too large now, although it is still under control, what will happen in the future? It's hard to say, just out of precaution, Hong Qing already has the idea of ​​dismembering the "Eight Banners Company", but the time is not yet ripe, Hong Qing does not dare to act rashly, it is impossible for the "Eight Banners Company to "There is opportunity for further expansion.

"Alright, then..."

After so many years of getting along, the old fifteen is very aware of Hongqing's uncompromising temperament. Now seeing that Hongqing's words are calm, but inside they are full of unquestionable determination, so he doesn't insist anymore.

"Go up, go up..."

Before the old fifteenth could finish speaking, he heard the voice of court shouting in the palace. The courtiers who were laughing and talking didn't dare to delay a little bit, and they all got up in a hurry, chattering in disorder. Walking out of the court room, they quickly lined up in the small square in front of the palace gate according to their grades, filed through the open palace gate, and rushed towards the Qianqing Gate.

"The Emperor is here!"

The courtiers had just lined up on the square in front of the Qianqing Gate, when they heard a shrill shout from behind the gate, and Emperor Chengde came out surrounded by a large group of court ladies and eunuchs. .

"Come on and see Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Emperor Chengde had arrived, all the ministers and workers did not dare to neglect, they all knelt down on the ground in a hurry, paying homage in unison.

"no."

Emperor Chengde seemed to be in a good mood. Although there was no smile on his aged face, he was faintly complacent, and his voice was softer than usual.

"Thank you, Lord Long, my lord, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Although Emperor Chengde's mental changes were not too obvious, many sensitive ministers had obviously noticed something strange, but at this moment, no one dared to talk nonsense, so it could only be Qi Qizhao Thank you in accordance with the court regulations.

"Qizou Your Majesty, I have a book to participate in!"

The courtiers had just stood up straight, and before Qin Wuyong, who was standing next to Emperor Chengde, announced the start of the morning court as usual, a courtier strode out of the queue, knelt down in front of the emperor, shaking his hands, He took out a copy of the yellow silk mask, raised it high above his head, and asked for instructions in a loud voice.

"Om..."

The ministers passed by according to their prestige, and the person who came out was the censor of Zuodu, Tao Yi, who had just taken office not long ago, and there was an uproar, no one else, everyone knew that Tao Yi was Hong Qing's direct confidant One of them, he wanted to join the people was obviously ordered by Hong Qing, and with his dignified status as a first-rank official, the people who wanted to join were definitely top-ranking dignitaries. There was no doubt that a big uproar was imminent, and there was no freedom The courtiers were not panicked by it.

"speak!"

The reason why Tao Yi was able to ascend to the high position of Zuodu censor from a mere supervisory censor in just over ten years was all due to Hongqing's support behind the scenes. I don't know, to be honest, if possible, Emperor Chengde didn't want to give him a chance to speak at all, but Tao Yi has the status of a speech officer, and in such a big dynasty, Emperor Chengde had to, no matter how reluctant he was. Asking him to write the book, he had no choice but to give Tao Yi a cold look, and uttered a word bluntly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, my lord, Tao Yi, the censor of Zuodu, wanted to participate in many illegal affairs of the king of Shenjun. The slaughter of white geese has been repeatedly prohibited by the imperial court. Second, it is evil to indulge slavery, arrogance and extravagance, and regard the important land of the Ministry of punishment as its own vegetable garden, and wantonly employ private individuals, so that most of the Ministry of punishment is corrupt; , Colluded with the magicians of the rivers and lakes, secretly practiced ghosts and nightmares, and wanted to put Prince Ren to death, which is a violation of human relations and an unforgivable crime. I implore the holy emperor to order a thorough investigation, as I heard above!"

Tao Yi didn't care about Emperor Chengde's cold reception at all, first he thanked him respectfully, then spread out the paper with shaking hands, and announced it impassionedly.

"Om..."

As soon as Tao Yi heard that it was the fourth elder brother who was being impeached, or such a serious crime, the officials immediately became confused, nothing else, the first two crimes were nothing more than that, even if it was verified, at most it was nothing more than a crime. Exemption from errands and demotion, but the third one is not that simple. The technique of ghosts and nightmares is strictly prohibited by the court, not to mention that the target of the technique is Prince Ren Hongqing. This is a heinous crime. Once it is verified, even Emperor Chengde will not be able to save the fourth elder brother's defeat. On the contrary, if no evidence can be found, Tao Yi will not be able to escape the punishment of resignation even if he has the status of a speech official. Even Hong Qing himself is afraid Everyone has to live and die. There is no doubt that this is a life-and-death contest, and there is no possibility of compromise or accommodation.

"hiss……"

Not to mention that the courtiers were stunned by Tao Yi's bullets, Emperor Chengde was also gasped in shock, his eyes widened, and he didn't know what to say for a while— These days, the movements made by the fourth elder brother are really too big, and they have already violated Hongqing's bottom line, and they will inevitably be counterattacked by Hongqing. Regarding this, Emperor Chengde actually knows it well, and he has already He was ready to sideline the fight, but he never expected that Hong Qing's counterattack would be so fierce and fierce. This was a posture to kill the fourth elder brother, which was exactly what Emperor Chengde had planned in advance. The current court debate was too far behind. Under such circumstances, Emperor Chengde didn't know whether he could control the direction of the court situation, let alone Shila's side-to-side fight.

"Tao Yi is bold, dare to slander the king in public, what is your intention for such reckless actions!"

Tao Yi's accusation was too serious, how could the fourth elder brother hold his breath, he rushed out of the queue without hesitation, and yelled angrily.

"The real one can't be faked, and the fake one can't be faked. If King Shenjun didn't do anything wrong, why should he be so anxious?"

The fourth elder brother has been in charge of the department for a long time, and he has a lot of prestige and prestige. This scolding really has a bit of the majesty of a county king in charge of the department. One of them said.

"you……"

Being hit by Tao Yi like this, the fourth elder brother was very angry on the spot, and was about to yell, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he quickly fell to his knees on the ground, kowtowed vigorously, and wailed: "Huang Ama My son is wronged, Tao Yi presumptuously charged his son with false charges, he must have been instigated by a big traitor, my son implores Huang Ama to be the master of my son, my son is wronged..."
