Chapter 1034 Take a step back each ([-])

On May 27th of the sixth year of Chengde, the inner court issued an imperial edict stating that Haitao, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, was the imperial envoy and rushed to Jinling to assist in the investigation of the case of Liu Chengen, governor of Jiangsu, who was short of office.With the edict, the government and the public once again rioted again and again. There is no other reason. Although there is only one word difference between the thorough investigation and the auxiliary investigation, the meanings are quite different. The former means that Haitao has the overall power to control the Jiangnan case, while the latter, what? But it was only to assist Hongli in investigating the case. It was just a deputy imperial envoy, so how could he mediate the mutual criticism between Hongli and other local officials in Jinling? He obviously disregarded the results of the court discussion, and made it clear that he wanted to favor Hongli, and the one who wanted to be hit was naturally Prince Ren Hongqing.

Emperor Chengde's behavior of ignoring the results of the court council naturally aroused criticism from many courtiers, not only the courtiers who were close to Hongqing's side came forward to speak out, but even some neutral courtiers were already watching However, there is nothing else, the seriousness of the court is reflected in the court discussion, and now, Emperor Chengde can ignore the results of the court meeting for his own self-interest, how is this different from a foolish emperor?However, Hong Qing, the righteous master, showed nothing at all. He neither expressed his opposition in the book, nor came out to appease the emotions of the officials, and just pretended that this matter did not exist. Some of them couldn't make up their minds, even Emperor Chengde and others murmured to themselves, no one could figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Hongqing's gourd.

Hongqing didn't move, although it was because Haitao had secretly acted, but more because he didn't bother to move, nothing else, as long as the military power remained unchanged, no matter how chaotic other matters were, nothing could be reversed. As long as it doesn't hinder the operation of the Ministry of Industry and military affairs, Hong Qing really doesn't care much about other things. Besides, Emperor Chengde and others' plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain has gone bankrupt, and what kind of chaos will happen in the south of the Yangtze River , and it’s about Hongqing, as long as Zhang Miao can firmly control the Fourth Army, the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River will be the chaos in the officialdom at most, and there will be no possibility of stirring up civil uprisings. If this is the case, why should Hongqing return? If they all went out to be a villain, they might as well let Emperor Chengde speculate blindly by himself.

Speaking of it, Hong Qing had already restrained herself by not coming forward to stop Emperor Chengde from recklessly doing so. If there was a big trouble and moved out of the ancestral family law, it would be enough for Emperor Chengde to have a good drink. If he took the opportunity It is not impossible to force Emperor Chengde to take the throne again, but considering that Emperor Chengde only has one year left to live, Hong Qing really does not want to have any more gossip, but Thinking that after Emperor Chengde returned to the sea, it would be all right to take the position. This idea of ​​calming down is undoubtedly a good idea, but what a pity, Emperor Chengde obviously didn't appreciate it. No, Haitao just left Beijing for a few days. Emperor Chengde suddenly approved Yue Zhongqi's request from Ding You, but he neither appointed a new chief of the First Group Army nor called Hong Qing to discuss the matter. In response to the vacancy, Hongqing wrote several times in this chapter, proposing that the deputy army commander Taninghe should take over. Emperor Chengde's response was to stay in the middle without saying a word. At the same time, several My elder brother became very excited when he heard the news, and every day he either went to the Fengtai camp in person, or sent his confidantes to the camp to carry out activities in the camp, wantonly using gold and silver goods to clear the way, in an attempt to win over the generals in the army.

When the chaos in the camp appeared, Hong Qing dared not sit idly by. Even if the martial law was issued, it was expressly forbidden for irrelevant people to enter the camp. disposal!With such an order, the chaos in the camp has disappeared, but the trouble is far from over. There is nothing else. The first group army is mainly composed of bannermen in Beijing, and most of the generals' homes are in Forty-Nine City However, the brothers did not dare to take the risk of being batoned to break into the barracks, but they focused their attack on the family members of the generals in Beijing. As a result, the entire Sijiu City was full of smog.

In terms of money, even if the elder brothers are all added up, it is definitely not comparable to Hong Qing, even if his name is actually only [-]% of the "Kirin Company", but it is really necessary to adjust the money, whether it is the old fifteen or The Old Sixteenth Office can transfer thousands of taels of cash at will. If it is really necessary to rely on money to win the hearts of the soldiers, it is actually not too difficult for Hongqing, but he absolutely cannot do this After doing it, there is nothing else, the eight major armies of the Qing Dynasty are all controlled by Hong Qing. Once a lot of money is spent on the first army, it is bound to not favor one another. The money is not enough, besides, even if the money is enough, Hong Qing absolutely can't do this, the reason is very simple, the army is to be used to fight, how can a group of extremely rich soldiers have any fighting power at all Yes, there is no doubt that Hong Qing will not do such stupid things, so he has only two ways to go, one is to launch a mutiny brazenly to end the current chaos The second thing is to reach a certain compromise with Emperor Chengde, and sacrifice some interests in exchange for buffer time.

If Emperor Chengde still has a few years to live, there is no doubt that Hong Qing, who can't bear it any longer, will definitely adopt the first coping strategy. It's not necessary, of course, if the situation forces it, then it's nothing to say, Hongqing will not be vague when it's time to raise the flag, so she never got Emperor Chengde several times in a row. Under the situation of responding, Hongqing issued an order again—the first group army immediately entered the state of combat readiness, all of them were fully armed, ready to dispatch at any time. The General Staff Headquarters sits in command, posing as if it is preparing to use force brazenly!

"You bastard, what does that guy want to do? I'm so angry, you say, you say, didn't you tell me that that guy wouldn't act recklessly, how should I deal with myself in this situation, um, say, Make it clear to me!"

As soon as the change in the Fengtai Camp came out, there was a sudden commotion in the capital. When Emperor Chengde heard the news, Dang Li was panicked, and hurriedly summoned Li Minquan, cursing him all over his face.

"Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down, I think that Prince Ren's actions are just a hypocrisy, and there will be no real rebellion. Please don't be fooled by his actions."

The reason why Li Minquan came up with the idea of ​​disturbing the Fengtai camp this time was that he was entrusted by the third elder brother and the fourth master, and received a lot of money from both parties, so he spared no effort to encourage Emperor Chengde to play the game of delay. However, I never thought that Brother San and the others would be so bold as to take the opportunity to win over the generals in the army. Now that Emperor Chengde scolded him, I couldn't help feeling guilty for it, but how dare I admit my fault? It could only be a gamble and put all the chips on Hong Qing's tolerance. As for what he said, in the final analysis, even he himself didn't really believe it.

"Fart, when it turns out to be the opposite, why do I want you to come, say, what is the end of this matter?"

Emperor Chengde's structure is small, but he is not stupid. He will not be fooled by Li Minquan's judgment that is not very nutritious, but seeing his face is stern, he is already furious and swears.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. From my point of view, even if Prince Ren is rebellious, he will not be very firm. What he has done is indeed forcing His Majesty to doubt it. It has already changed hands, so I thought it would not be difficult to deal with this matter."

As soon as Emperor Chengde's words came out, even though Li Minquan was forced to the corner and secretly felt pain in his heart, he never dared to show it at this moment, so he could only force himself to deal with it with empty words, and at the same time quickly I turned my mind and tried to find a reasonable strategy to solve this matter.

"Not difficult? Hmph, how can there be a method that is not difficult, please explain clearly to me!"

At this moment, what Emperor Chengde wanted to listen to was not words of consolation, but practical solutions to the problem. Seeing that Li Minquan's words were all nonsense, how could he give him a good look.

"Your Majesty clearly understands that Prince Ren's anger was caused by the chaos in Fengtai camp. If a chief official can be appointed in time, the matter will be settled easily. However, if Prince Ren's wishes are fulfilled in this way, I'm afraid that he will make further progress. His Majesty is really at a disadvantage, therefore, I propose to transfer Tashan back to the Fengtai camp and let him take charge of the first group army."

Seeing Emperor Chengde's relentless questioning, Li Minquan immediately became a little anxious, and this urgency really made him think of a clever trick, so he hurriedly made a suggestion.

"Tashan? Uh... let's be more specific!"

Emperor Chengde still had a deep impression of Tashan, the original commander of the first army, and knew that the reason why he was left in Yili was because he was excluded by Hongqing. Slave, if Hongqing wants to control the new army independently, he will naturally not tolerate the thirteenth master's people being powerful in the army. Now, Li Minquan actually proposed to return to Fengtai Camp from Tashan, Emperor Chengde was not surprised, and frowned Thinking about it tightly, he also felt that it would be a good choice if Tashan could restrain Hongqing. The question is, how could Hongqing agree easily? Undoubtedly, Emperor Chengde didn't think about it in his heart It can be done, but seeing that Li Minquan seemed to be full of confidence, the ambition in his heart really arose, and he didn't scold Li Minquan for his nonsense, but asked with anticipation.

"Your Majesty clearly learned that Tashan is a veteran in the army and also the uncle of Taninghe. If His Majesty honors him, no matter how unwilling Taninghe is, he will not dare to fight. The resignation is inevitable. Once this is the case, Prince Ren's offensive can be calmly resolved, and it is difficult to raise the flag without a legitimate reason."

At this moment, Li Minquan only wanted to be able to deal with Emperor Chengde's anger, and he didn't care how feasible the strategy was, but seeing his confident appearance, he gave a detailed explanation.

　First of all, Lao Feng has to thank Xiao Xuanyu for his great reward. With such a generous reward, Lao Feng is really impressed, and salutes with his fists clasped!Secondly, there is something that I would like to ask for your understanding. Yesterday, my wife gave birth to Lao Feng a fat boy who weighed seven catties and one tael. Lao Feng has to stay in the hospital bed these few days. I really care about the update. Powerless, poor God, today I only got one chapter out of the hospital, and I will see if I can get another chapter later, even if I can, I'm afraid it will be too late, and I still have to ask for a few more days It's a fake, please forgive me a lot, Lao Feng has pleaded guilty.
