Chapter 1031 Preemptive strike ([-])

"Thank you, Emperor Amaron."

Now that it's time for the bayonet to see red, how can Hong Qing care whether Emperor Chengde's mood is good or bad, even if his face is extremely ugly, Hong Qing has no intention of giving in at all, but what, In terms of etiquette, he always maintained a respectful attitude, but after seeing Hong Qing calmly thanked him, he shook his hands and spread out the joint booklet, cleared his throat slightly, and declared sternly: "Chen, Governor of Liangjiang, Chang Ding, Liu Cheng'en, governor of Jiangsu, and all the people from all the prefectures and counties have written to His Majesty, and the ministers have been favored by His Majesty, and they have been able to act as shepherds.

Hong Qing's voice didn't seem very loud, but under the blessing of her internal force, whether it was Emperor Chengde sitting on the dragon bed or the low-ranking courtiers at the edge of the square, they could all hear it very clearly. , such a phenomenon is quite unusual, but at this moment, everyone's minds are all attracted by the zhezi itself, and no one has noticed this unusualness.

"..., as above!"

The excerpt is not too short, with tens of pages and thousands of words, no matter how long the excerpt is, there will be a time when it will be finished. No, the entire excerpt has already been read out as soon as Hong Qing's regular closing remarks come out. It was over, but none of the courtiers had woken up from what Zhezi said. More than five hundred courtiers just stood there quietly, and there was an eerie dead silence in the huge square.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what this son of Hongli has done is extremely rebellious and unforgivable. As the left inspector and censor, the old minister cannot sit idly by. I implore your majesty to go to the south of the Yangtze River to thoroughly investigate this beast and punish it with justice." Chao Gang!"

Dead silence is always just a prelude to an explosion, and this time is no exception. No, before the courtiers came to their senses, they saw Tao Yi, the censor of Zuodu, striding out of the queue and heading towards As soon as Emperor Chengde bowed, he asked himself impassionedly.

"Your Majesty, I think Master Tao's words are true, and I implore Your Majesty to issue an order to investigate immediately!"

"Your Majesty, Hongli's behavior is extremely frenzied, and it is not what a minister should do. I also propose a thorough investigation!"

"Your Majesty, this minister agrees!"

"Your Majesty, the minister also seconded the proposal!"

……

Tao Yi's coming out was a signal, Shen He, Rong Zhu and other top ministers who were close to Hong Qing came out to echo, and a large number of middle and low-level officials also stood up after seeing this, only for a moment It's just a matter of time, more than 150 courtiers have expressed their attitude of supporting Tao Yi. In other words, Hong Qing's power on the surface has basically been mobilized, accounting for a full [-]% of the total number of courtiers. It's more than a quarter, not counting the military power held by Hong Qing, just this level of court strength is enough to change the dynasty, not to mention that Hong Qing has never been a person who puts all her eggs in one basket My master, there must be a lot of hidden strength in the dark. When such a powerful posture appeared, not only Emperor Chengde's face changed wildly, but also Brother San and the others couldn't help being frightened by it, and they couldn't help being at a loss for a while. up.

"Your Majesty, I think this is absolutely impossible!"

Seeing that the situation is not right, Fourth Master can't help feeling a little anxious, but due to court regulations, no matter how anxious he is, he can't stand up to defend Hongli at this moment, and in desperation, he can only quickly stand behind him Dardo, the new servant of the Ministry of Punishment, made a gesture. Immediately after seeing Dardo rush out of the queue, he shouted loudly.

"Oh? Da Aiqing, do you have any objections? Let's just talk about it. I'm listening."

Facing the fierce attack launched by Hongqing, Emperor Chengde didn't know what to do. Seeing Dardo jumping out, he became energetic like a drowning man grasping the last straw. Regardless of how disgusted the various courtiers who had already appeared, he hurriedly let out a groan, and gave Dardo an encouraging smile very kindly.

"Qizou Your Majesty, I think that the words of those local bureaucrats are absolutely untrustworthy. There is nothing else. Li Baylor is ordered to go to investigate the debt. Naturally, the offenders are the corrupt officials. This group of people united to fight back It is also a normal thing, so I think this so-called joint charge is really insufficient!"

Dardo is a member of the Red Banner, not a servant of the fourth master, but his promotion from a mere doctor to the position of servant of the Ministry of Punishment is all the result of his superiority. Now he is entrusted by the fourth master to come forward. To defend Hongli, this is the proper meaning of the question, but it is not very strange.

"Well, Da Aiqing's words are quite reasonable. I think it may be the case. I have also gone to other places to settle debts when I was in Longqian. I have encountered such things before. I think it is also possible this time. , this booklet, I think it needs to be investigated before making a decision, what do you love ladies think?"

Emperor Chengde has been very fond of the father and son of the fourth master recently, and this time Hongli went to the south of the Yangtze River to make troubles because he was appointed by Emperor Chengde. There was no reason to object, and now, since Dardo gave a plausible explanation, Emperor Chengde naturally wanted to make use of it last time.

"What Huang Ama said is true, and my son also thinks so."

With Emperor Chengde's statement, the third elder brother naturally gained confidence, and hurriedly stood up to echo him.

"Huang Ama Shengming, according to my son, the subordinate gang is very courageous, and it is common to practice deceit, how can we trust it!"

"Huang Ama is right, my sons and ministers all agree!"

"Your Majesty is wise, the ministers think that this must be the case, and the gang of villains below are trying to invite favor, but they can't make up anything, they really have the suspicion of deceiving the emperor!"

……

With the third elder brother taking the lead, the second elder brother and others naturally followed suit. After a while, except for the fourth master and his servants who never showed up, Zhu elder brother's confidantes and subordinates all followed suit , the momentum is really not small, and it is not much worse than Hongqing's party. In addition to the chaotic order of the court, the contradiction between the two parties has intensified in an instant, and there is really a tendency for the tip of the needle to confront the wheat.

"I already know what all my lovers said. Since this matter is quite controversial, let's put it aside for the time being. I will have my own opinion later."

Emperor Chengde didn't want to investigate Hongli thoroughly at first, but with the support of so many courtiers, he became more confident, but when he waved his hand, he planned to expose the matter.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

As soon as Emperor Chengde made such a statement, all the courtiers who supported Hongli were overjoyed and encouraged, and Qi Qi praised it loudly.

"Huang Ama has learned a lesson, my son thinks that this matter must not be handled like this!"

Since Hongqing carefully deployed the pre-emptive strategy, how could it be possible for Emperor Chengde to cover up the matter so easily? Before the praise of everyone settled down, Hongqing objected bluntly and loudly One sentence.

"Hmm... Qing'er, is there anything else you want to say, huh?"

Seeing Hongqing rushing out of the sky without hesitation, Emperor Chengde's smiling face froze, he snorted in displeasure, and asked coldly.

"Huang Ama's lesson, my son thinks that the truth cannot be faked, and the fake can't be true. What is going on, you have to investigate thoroughly before you know the root cause. It's useless to argue. Therefore, I suggest that the case be handed over to Zuo Duyu." Shi Taoyi's trial, with his usual fairness and integrity, will definitely find out the truth and give an explanation to the people of the world, and please give permission to Emperor Ama!"

Rao Chengde Emperor's complexion was so gloomy that water dripped out, but Hong Qing didn't care about it at all, and put forward his own opinion without being arrogant or humble, and strongly supported Tao Yi to try the case .

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks what Prince Ren said is true, and I second my opinion!"

"The minister also agrees!"

"I implore Your Majesty to order a thorough investigation to reveal the truth!"

……

As soon as Hong Qing made such a tough gesture, Shen He and the others did not dare to neglect, and they all spoke in agreement, which even made Emperor Chengde's already ugly face even more ugly.

"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate. Tao Yi has always followed Prince Ren's lead. Today, the impeachment case was brought up by Prince Ren. Tao Yi cannot investigate it. Otherwise, it will be unfair. I object!"

Faces were torn apart on the left and right, and Dardo couldn't care less about his jealousy towards Hong Qing, so he yelled loudly regardless.

"Huang Ama, I think what Da Shilang said is right. It's not because I can't believe Mr. Tao. It's what I need to avoid suspicion. I would like to ask Huang Ama to learn from you!"

"That's right, it's just for this reason, my son thinks that what Da Shilang said is not bad, so he is willing to ask Huang Ama to judge him!"

"Your Majesty, I think that even if there is an investigation, it must be presided over by someone who has nothing to do with Prince Ren, so as to ensure fairness!"

……

The third elder brother and the others originally wanted to make things big, but now that Dardo was in the vanguard, the elder brothers were happy to follow in the Taiping boxing, but the left and right refused to let Hong Qing get complacent, and Once the elder brothers made such a fuss, the many courtiers attached to them would not stop, and they also started to make a fuss. So far, the court discussion has reached the point where the bayonets are red hot.

"Okay, let's all be quiet, don't forget that you must not be rude in front of you, and you are so heatedly arguing, where do you put me, huh?"

Seeing the debate between the two sides intensified, Emperor Chengde was actually very excited in his heart, but what he showed was a kind of impatience, but seeing him suppressing his hand, he put on the airs of an emperor, full of majesty The ground snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty forgive me, I'm being rude."

When Emperor Chengde made such a sound, no matter whether he was happy or not, he had to apologize quickly. Whether it was Hong Qing, Brother San and the others, it was inevitable that they would perform like this. It has nothing to do with right or wrong. It is limited by the rules of the court, and no one can make an exception...
