Chapter 1012 Game of All Parties ([-])

"Um……"

With several elder brothers appearing successively, the atmosphere of the court meeting can be said to be extremely hot. If there is a slight mistake, there is a possibility that it will get out of control. At such a delicate moment, Emperor Chengde should have come forward to mediate. In order to maintain the normal order of the court meeting, but Emperor Chengde obviously didn't have such a plan. Although his face looked serious, he just let out a soft noncommittal, and let the two sides debate endlessly there as if he didn't hear anything. The slightly frowned eyebrows seemed to express Emperor Chengde's worries about the court proceedings, but in fact, Emperor Chengde's heart was full of joy. There is nothing else like this, probably because this is exactly what he expected to check and balance. pattern!

"It's nonsense, you know nothing about economics and government affairs, and you can only follow others' advice. It's really ridiculous, but you are not ashamed yet, and I am ashamed of you when I hear it!"

As soon as Emperor Chengde's ambiguous attitude of waiting for lukewarm swallowing water came out, the fiery Old Sixteen couldn't stand it any longer, but seeing him take a few strides, he snatched him out of the queue of the clan mansion without any hesitation. Unceremoniously, he yelled at the noisy and cheerful elder brothers.

"Uncle Sixteen, what you said is a little too much. It is Huang Ama's will to speak freely, and my nephew and others are just following the order. Is there anything wrong with it?"

"That's right, why is Uncle Sixteen interfering in such a way?"

"Uncle Sixteen, please calm down. If you don't understand what your nephews said, why don't you just say it outright, Huang Ama is in charge of everything, right?"

……

The old sixteen is in charge of the clan's mansion, and he is in charge of the disciples of the Tian family. All the elders have been in awe of him in the past, and what they are afraid of is that they will accidentally fall into his hands. In other words, even if the elder brothers are reluctant in their hearts, they dare not forcibly contradict, but today the elder brothers are not willing to give in at all, nothing else, today is a great opportunity for the elder brothers to declare their strength, If you can refute Hongqing's regulations in one fell swoop, it will undoubtedly be a huge victory. Even if you can't, it will still make Emperor Chengde feel supportive. It is a matter of the future of all brothers, so how can it be possible to be reprimanded by the old sixteen? I went back in shock, no, starting from the fifth elder brother, several elder brothers took turns running on the old sixteen with one word and one word, and did not show the old sixteen any sympathy.

"Hmph, you are so strong and unreasonable, really..."

The old sixteen was so angry that when he heard the cynicism from his nephews, his anger became more and more angry, his eyes widened and he was about to go crazy.

"Brother Sixteen is quite right. You guys are nothing but useless waste who just sit and enjoy what they get. They don't even understand the truth, they only bark like dogs!"

At this time of great dynasties, if the old sixteen really went crazy, not only would he not be able to solve the problem, but he would be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives. Liu's anger completely exploded, and he snatched out of the queue in a few strides, and scolded Liu elder brother and others with extremely sharp words.

"..."

When the old sixteen stood up, a group of little elder brothers dared to speak up. It was because the old sixteen was in charge of the clan mansion, but if the elders did not commit any crimes, they were not too afraid that the old sixteen would come down. Got a ruthless hand, but when the old fifteen came out like this, the elder brothers became a little timid, nothing else, the old fifteen controls such a giant as the "Eight Banners Company", if the elder brothers dare to If he offends him, the business of the firm that he created secretly will not be able to continue, and this is not a big deal, if the old fifteen raises his arms among the Eight Banners, all the people will Yunji really blamed it, wouldn't the elder brothers have to become rats crossing the street, that's really not a fun thing to do, even if the old fifteen's words were really harsh enough, but the elder brothers were stunned If he didn't have the guts to openly retort, he could only look at each other awkwardly on the spot.

"Uncle Fifteen, you can't say that. The little nephews are just discussing the matter according to the emperor's order. Isn't it too much for you to insult me ​​so wantonly?"

Others are afraid of the power and power of the old fifteen, but the third elder brother doesn't care too much, nothing else, he has already taken all the huge property left by the eighth master for his own use, and he has a lot of silver in his pocket, so he really doesn't care Pointing to the "Eight Banners Company" to live, seeing the younger brothers being dumbfounded by the old fifteen, I couldn't help but feel a little bit impatient, so I flashed out from the side, sternly Then he contradicted the old fifteenth.

"Fifteenth brother, this is the time of the imperial court meeting. We still need to be more careful about the rules. If you have anything to say, you can talk about it well. You must not be like Meng Lang."

Old Fifteen is the actual helm of the Qing economy. Although he only manages an "Eight Banners firm" and has no real position in the court, his potential power is astonishing. The dignitaries in the court, especially the Eight Banners Aristocrats, most of the properties in their homes are related to the "Eight Banners Firm". When he appeared in such a way, except for the third elder brother, the rest of the courtiers were immediately dumbfounded like a few younger elder brothers. Upon seeing this, Emperor Chengde couldn't stand it anymore, so he admonished the old fifteenth.

"Your Majesty has taught you a lesson. When I was indignant for a moment, my words were indeed insecure. However, although the words are rough, the reasoning is not rough. Let's not talk about the regulations that are currently being discussed. Let's say that my Qing Dynasty can have the present Wealth and well-being are certainly the result of the sageness of the first emperor and His Majesty, but the role of Prince Ren in it must not be obliterated indiscriminately by the younger generation. The establishment of the banking system and the promotion of many inventions by the Ministry of Industry, which one was not initiated by Prince Ren, not to mention the incomparable achievements such as the destruction of Dongying and the chaos in Pingxi Frontier. Those who talk about merit are rare, who is virtuous and who is faint, self-evident."

Although Old Fifteen was always reticent and rarely spoke at court meetings, it didn't mean that Old Fifteen was not very eloquent. No, after a long speech, he not only clearly expressed Hongqing's many achievements, but also It also vividly sets off the incompetence of the elder brothers.

"Fifth Uncle's words are wrong. The ancients said: People are not sages and sages, so they can do nothing. Although the eldest brother has made great achievements in the past, it can't cover up the negligence of the regulations. The imperial court invests a lot of money, but it may not be great. The result, on the contrary, has fattened a group of merchants, and it is more likely to lead to corruption, so how can we be careless?"

As soon as the old fifteen said something like this, Emperor Chengde's expression seemed to be a bit embarrassing, nothing else, the old fifteen raised Hongqing so much, which contrasted not only the incompetence of the brothers, but also the incompetence of the elders. On the other side, the rumors of Emperor Chengde being "precious because of his factors" are confirmed. Isn't this obviously trying to save Emperor Chengde's face or something?It's just that, no matter how upset Emperor Chengde was, he couldn't deny that what Old Fifteen said was true, so he could only keep silent with a dark face. Seeing this, the third elder brother came instead Spirit, with the intention to invite pets, naturally spoke again without any scruples.

"Well, San'er's concern is indeed true, and I also have this concern."

Emperor Chengde was going to be sideways, but when he saw the third elder brother contradicting the fifteenth, the boredom in his heart suddenly eased, and he frowned slightly in a hurry, showing a rather worried expression Looks like that, I support the third elder brother.

"Huang Ama's words are very true. My son thinks that the elder brother's regulations are indeed insecure, and it is really inappropriate to follow them."

"Emperor Ama Shengming, sons and ministers also think the same way. The sage said: Don't worry about widows, but worry about inequality. If the court spends a lot of money, but makes a small group of merchants get rich, it will really stir up trouble. Public outrage, so what should we do?"

"Huang Ama, my son-in-law proposes to suspend the implementation of this charter, so as not to cause trouble, and please ask Huang Ama to rule!"

……

As soon as Emperor Chengde showed such an obvious posture of pulling aside, the elder brothers immediately became excited, and since they were no longer afraid of the old fifteen brothers, they all yelled one after another.

"Your Majesty's order is respectfully requested!"

"The ministers all think that this regulation is not feasible, please make a clear decision, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, it is a matter of the safety of the country and should not be taken lightly. I beg your Majesty to learn from you."

……

When the third elder brother and the others yelled like this, Deming and the others, who had been dumb before, also became excited, and they followed suit in a panic. For a while, the trend of public opinion seemed to be tilting towards the unfavorable situation for Hongqing. Regarding this, Emperor Chengde was very happy to see it, and the depression that had been blocked by the old Shiwutian earlier dissipated in an instant, but he didn't dare to make a decision so easily, but pretended Nodding his head in a contemplative manner, he put on the appearance of the deputy general being decisive, obviously intending to force Hong Qing to come out.

Hmm, isn't it a very interesting scene, I want to see how long that old thing can endure!

Hong Qing really knows Emperor Chengde's temperament too well, just by looking at it, he can tell what kind of tricks Emperor Chengde is playing, the left and right are just trying to force Hong Qing to come forward in person, and then, encourage a few brothers The last time he fought head-on with Hongqing, he might as well play another trick of pulling the fence, which can not only damage Hongqing's prestige, but also make the conflict between the elder brothers and Hongqing public, so as to achieve a balance towards the future. The ambition of the game, Hong Qing knew it very well, how could he easily fall into the trap of Emperor Chengde? Of course, this is only one reason for Hong Qing to keep silent, is it another reason? That's why Hong Qing wanted to see how Fourth Master would intervene in such a vicious fight, and how to gain benefits. Before Fourth Master launched it, Hong Qing would definitely not make a move easily.

It doesn't matter if Hong Qing keeps silent like this, all the people are waiting, even if some of them are blinded, they just don't know how to proceed. After all, what should be said has already been said, and most of what should be expressed has already been expressed. After that, before Emperor Chengde made a decision, everyone didn't know what to say, so the huge square fell into a strange silence...
