Chapter 1149 I Can't Live By Doing My Own Evil (Part [-])

Seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching, the busy year is finally over, and Hong Qing has a rare leisure time, even though she got up early and arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation early, she was not in a hurry While reviewing the scriptures, he sat on the dragon bed with his eyes slightly closed, dreaming about things, obviously with a little bit of tiredness, probably because in the past year, major events in the country followed one after another, and the flames of war burned all over the country. In Asia, there are so many government affairs to be dealt with every day that even hard-working people may not be able to bear the burden of government affairs.

Tired is a bit tired, but Hongqing has always been in a good mood. The reason is very simple. Various domestic innovations are progressing gratifyingly-the railway construction is on the right track, and the Beijing-Jinjin (Jingshi-Jinling) and Beijing-Guangzhou railways are on the right track. The main line is progressing smoothly, and it can be completed as soon as the beginning of the next year. By then, there will be unimpeded communication between the north and the south, and it is a certainty that the economy of the Qing Dynasty will take off again; the progress of the imperial examination reform is also quite smooth. The construction is almost fully completed, and the staffing of teachers has been basically confirmed. After the beginning of spring, the official enrollment can start. In addition, the weather has been smooth and rainy for the past year, and the harvests in various places are quite gratifying. All in all, everything is developing on the good side. A little bit of a headache is that this year's expenses are too high, nothing else, not only the war against Russia on the west and north fronts is huge, even though the war between Dongpu and Nanyang has subsided, there are still sporadic indigenous people When the rebellion happened, it was difficult for both the Second Army and the Fifth Army to return home for the time being. Although the confiscated spoils were not small, and the supplies brought back were quite rich, but at the same time, the military expenditure was also a big problem. The astronomical figures are not supported by the "Eight Banners Firm" and the dividends of the Ministry of Industry. If the state treasury alone is used, it is afraid that it will not be able to support such a heavy burden.

This year's finances are indeed tight, but it is far from the point of tightening the belt. Besides, after the war against Russia is over and most of the second and fifth armies return home, the war dividends will surely roll in. In the future, with the support of the entire Asian territory, why should Huaxia not be strong, and the century-old tragedy in the time and space in the previous life will not be staged that day, and this is the fundamental reason why Hongqing is in a good mood.

"Qizou Your Majesty, Zhang Tingyu, Mr. Zhang, Chen Size, and Mr. Chen joined hands outside the hall to seek an audience."

Just when Hong Qing was thinking about it, she saw Li Dequan hurried in from outside the hall, rushed to the copy, hurriedly bowed, and carefully reported a word.

"Oh? Xuan."

As soon as Zhang and Chen came together, Hong Qing's brows would have been raised, but he didn't have the slightest hesitation, and with a wave of his hand, it was ready.

"twitter!"

After Hongqing opened his golden mouth, Li Dequan didn't dare to delay, he hurriedly responded respectfully, and hurriedly exited the hall, after a short while, he accompanied Zhang and Chen back from the outside.

"I'll wait to meet your Majesty."

As soon as they saw Hong Qing who was sitting high on the head, Zhang and Chen didn't dare to neglect, they rushed to the front of the imperial court one after the other, rushing to pay respects without stopping.

"No, come and give me a seat."

With Hongqing's political wisdom, she would not have guessed that the two of them came hand in hand, and something important must happen. However, Hongqing didn't rush to ask questions, but raised her hands falsely, and gave a very kind seat. .

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Both Zhang and Chen are people whose city mansion is as deep as the sea. Although they have a lot of concerns in their hearts, they will never miss out on etiquette. On the brocade piers carried by the little eunuchs.

"Qizou Your Majesty, the Shuozhou Sub-bureau sent an urgent call. The bandits of the White Lotus Sect gathered in Shanyin and Youyu counties in Shuozhou, Shanxi, and looted wildly. Zhang Xiande, the prefect of Shuozhou, urgently dispatched the garrison battalion to suppress it, but unexpectedly, Li Zhuo, the guerrilla general of the garrison battalion, was a member of the White Lotus Sect. While going on an expedition, he brazenly rebelled and colluded with Du Yunshan inside and outside, and captured Shanyin and Youyu counties in one fell swoop. The county government, Shuozhou is in chaos, Zhang Xiande has ordered the four gates of the city to be closed, and now, the emergency documents are on the way."

After all, Chen Size had a responsibility, and as soon as Bu took his seat, he hurriedly bowed to Chao Hongqing, and spoke in detail about the White Lotus Sect's rebellion in Shuozhou in a heavy tone.

"Hey, it's the White Lotus Sect again, isn't it good? It seems that I still haven't killed enough, good, good!"

Hearing that the White Lotus Sect was rebelling again, Hong Qing's murderous aura suddenly grew, and her face became even more gloomy.

"Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down, the White Lotus Cultists are nothing more than clowns, but once we eliminate our army, they will be at ease overnight."

When Hong Qing was so angry, Zhang Tingyu couldn't sit still, and quickly knelt down on the ground, unable to explain it softly.

"Come here, immediately spread the news that the officials from the first rank and above in Beijing are here to discuss matters, there must be no mistake!"

Hong Qing didn't pay attention to Zhang Tingyu's explanation, and suddenly slapped the dragon case, and gave her orders in a dark and cold voice.

"twitter!"

After the imperial decree was issued, Li Dequan, who was waiting by his side, did not dare to delay a little bit, so he hurriedly responded respectfully, led a few young eunuchs and ran out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and went to arrange related matters without mentioning the decree...

"I'll wait to meet your Majesty."

After the imperial decree was issued, no one dared to neglect to go, not only the six divisions and nine officials, but also the fifth master, the seventh master, and the old sixteenth master, even the fourth master and the thirteenth master who had been sick for a long time at home also came. Of course, although there is a sequence of arrival, the audience is one body, and when they entered the main hall, they saw Hong Qing sitting at the head with a pale face, and all the ministers and workers couldn't help but feel it. Surprised, but no one dared to make a mistake at this moment, they all rushed forward in a hurry, paying respects in a respectful manner.

"no."

Hong Qing has never been a master who likes to vent her anger on others, even though she has anger in her heart, she won't let it out on the officials, but the voice she yelled inevitably carried a little bit of anger.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Although the ministers all came here to discuss the matter, most of them didn't know what to discuss. Seeing that Hong Qing's expression was wrong, the surprise in their hearts inevitably became stronger.

"Chen Size."

Hong Qing didn't pay attention to the suspicious eyes of the officials, and didn't say much to explain, but just called Chen Size's name with a gloomy expression.

"Wei Chen is here."

Among the lords of Gungun, Chen Size has the lowest official rank. Although he waited in the hall early in the morning, when he was in line, he could only stand at the end of the line. Dare to delay a little, rushed out from the side in haste, and responded respectfully.

"Xuan."

Hong Qing didn't say anything, just waved her hand, and said a blunt word from her mouth.

"The minister obeys the order."

Chen Size respectfully agreed first, then shook his hand, took out a telegram from his loose sleeve, cleared his throat slightly, and proclaimed loudly: "This is the third quarter of the hour on the [-]th day of the third year of Renhe." Du Yunshan, the bandit leader of the White Lotus Sect, called himself "General Chengtian", gathered more than [-] people, plundered the towns of Yinshan County, engulfed the people, and committed crimes. Zhang Xiande, the prefect of Shuozhou, heard the news and dispatched the guerrilla general of the state garrison battalion Li Zhuo led the army to quell the chaos. Unexpectedly, Li Zhuo was a member of the White Lotus Sect. He took advantage of the situation to plot rebellion and colluded with Du Yunshan and outsiders to attack Shanyin and Youyu counties. , Ding Changsheng of the Shuozhou branch of the National Security Bureau."

"Om..."

Hearing that it was the White Lotus Sect who rebelled again, before Chen Size finished announcing the telegram, the ministers started discussing indiscriminately, nothing else, you must know that since the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the imperial court has severely cracked down on the White Lotus Sect many times, using torture It can be said that the use of allusions is not insignificant, and there will be a rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, which is really beyond the expectations of the courtiers, especially at this time when the Qing Dynasty is using troops everywhere, there will inevitably be some emptiness in the country. Improper, the consequences are unpredictable.

"Okay, let's discuss and see how this matter will end, huh?"

Hong Qing seemed to be very impatient, before all the ministers calmed down, she pressed her hand and threw out the topic of discussion in a low tone.

"Your Majesty, I think that the bandits of the White Lotus Sect are so rampant and should be punished. I propose to send a large army to suppress them as soon as possible, so as to avoid more troubles."

When Hong Qing spoke like this, the officials did not dare to speak nonsense, there is nothing else, it is a big matter, and no one dared to say that their suggestions can hit the holy meaning, if they are wrong, it must be wrong It's fun, for a while, the hall was so strangely quiet, and in the end, the most courageous old sixteen-headed one popped up and made a loud proposal.

"Your Majesty, I think what the sixteenth brother said is true. A rebellious thief like this cannot be pardoned by a hundred deaths. He will destroy the nine clans!"

Lao Shiwu has always been inseparable from Lao Shiliu, seeing Lao Shili let go of his words, Lao Shiwu was the first to stand up and echo loudly.

"Your Majesty knows that, I think what Prince Zhuang said is right."

"Your Majesty, this minister agrees."

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

……

The old fifteen brothers have always been Hong Qing's right-hand men, and with their leadership, all the officials naturally let go of their courage and stood up to echo him.

"Well, what does fourth uncle think about this matter?"

Hong Qing didn't comment on the proposals of the ministers, but just gave a noncommittal noncommittal, and turned her attention to Fourth Master who was standing silently at the side, and asked a question in a calm tone.

When Hong Qing asked this question, everyone's eyes immediately focused on the fourth master. Most of the eyes were curious and doubtful. It has been half a year since he showed up, and this is the first time he has participated in high-level discussions in half a year. It is inevitable that the ministers will be suspicious...
