Chapter 564 The Hustle and bustle of the court ([-])

On August 52, 21 years of Kangxi, when the ministers were still discussing the old fourteen's armament update plan, the old thirteen suddenly came to this chapter, spouting nearly ten thousand words, talking about the update of armaments, It was like a fight with the old fourteenth. Once the news spread, all civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty were shocked by it. The comparison between the two proposals became the hottest topic among the ruling and opposition parties. Even the unresolved The news of a change in central bank governor was not as welcome.

The old thirteen and the old fourteen have never been able to urinate in the same pot. No one in the civil and military courts knows about this matter. Since they were young, the two brothers have often fought fiercely, and they are punished for this. The number of times is innumerable. After becoming an adult, they even openly fought in the court. It was only when the old Shisan was kept in captivity a few years ago that the two sides had no chance to meet. But ever since the old thirteenth arrived at the Ministry of War, this pair of enemies and brothers have been fighting each other again. There have been many times when they slapped tables and scolded each other in office meetings. The grudge between each other has long since deepened. Said that it seems normal for the old thirteen to play the ring with the old fourteen, but thinking about the timing of the old fourteen's appearance and the rapid reaction of the old thirteen, this can't help but make the officials Suspicious.

The old fourteen chose to act when the third master entered the chapter of the central bank, which in itself was a kind of disruptive behavior, and the one standing behind it was naturally the eighth master, and the old thirteen came out at this time, standing behind him Who is it, the third master?Or fourth master?It's hard to say, at least until the two masters reacted, no one dared to draw a conclusion lightly, but these two masters seemed not to want to express their views. Two days have passed, and the third and fourth masters have not yet expressed their opinions. Opinions on the armament renewal plan, once such a situation comes out, the heated discussion between the government and the opposition will inevitably become more noisy.

The third master and the fourth master did not move, but the eighth master's action came out first, and it was extremely violent bombardment. First, Zuodu censor Nalan Kuixu led several supervisory censors to jointly impeach the old thirteen. There is an unruly intention, and it should be strictly investigated; Immediately afterwards, a large number of eighth masters, such as A Ling'a and Arsun'a, all posted bullets, either picking mistakes from the book itself, or criticizing the old thirteen for lying Changing the family law of his ancestors, he was charged with various crimes, all of which were intended to bring down the old thirteen and fight against stink.

When the eighth master made such a move, it was impossible for the third master not to react. First, Chen Guanzhao, Cao Rusheng and other confidantes of the third master's family came forward to speak out and strongly supported the old thirteen's reform proposals. Qing's confidant also joined the book, and started a debate with Baye on the rationality of armament updates. The chapters of both sides flew to the palace like snowflakes. Everyone has fallen out, but neither the third master nor the eighth master has ever made a public statement about it, and even the fourth master has kept silent on this matter. Even so, the old man is already overwhelmed I was troubled, so I handed over all matters to the great scholars to agree on what to do, but I went to Changchun Garden, neither summoning the ministers to discuss matters, nor expressing opinions on various matters. Once this posture came out, the courtiers In addition to being at a loss, the hot discussion inevitably became more heated.

As soon as the old man showed such a nonchalant gesture, all the great scholars would have a headache, and no one could figure out what the holy will was. In desperation, they could only panic and convene. All the officials of the Ministry of War discussed the matter, and they mobilized generals from the new army to participate in the discussion. At the same time, they did not forget to ask the governors of all parties for their intentions. After a month and a half of tossing, they still failed to reach a conclusion. Their opinions are completely at odds, and there is no possibility of reconciliation at all, but it makes the chaotic court situation even more chaotic. At this point, all the great scholars have no idea, so they can only come up with something that doesn't matter. The conclusion of the investigation report went to Changchun Garden to report to the old man.

Undoubtedly, such attempts by the Grand Scholars to get away with it will never succeed. The old man was extremely dissatisfied with the so-called investigation report full of words like maybe, probable, and possible, and severely punished the Grand Scholars. They all reprimanded them, even Zhang Tingyu, who has always been the most favored, was not spared. However, the training did not punish everyone, but a decree summoned all the brothers together with Hong Qing and Hong Li In Ruijingxuan.

"Enough of your troubles, huh?"

The old man was in a bad mood, and his tone was naturally not very kind. When the elder brothers greeted each other, not only did the old man not shout, but he snorted impatiently, and the chill in his words immediately made everyone wait. The hair is stunned.

"Huang Ama (Huang Mafa) calm down."

Don't look at the group of elder brothers who are prestige in the middle of the court, but in front of the old man, no one dares to be presumptuous. No, when they heard the old man's tone, all the people immediately fell down on the ground in fear , Qiqi begged for mercy.

"Hmph, even if you want to update your military equipment and resist foreign aggression, I don't think outsiders should fight it. You should fight it yourself. Everyone eats too much lard, and they are fooled. They toss around wildly, yes Do you think I'm not annoying enough or something, huh?"

The old man is actually not keen on the update of the military equipment, nothing else, although there are signs of imminent movement on the Junggar side, but in the old man's view, it is just a disease of ringworm. There is no need to completely renew the military equipment because of this, let alone go to war in the Ministry of War, and this is the root cause of the old man's delay in expressing his views on the old thirteenth and old fourteenth. There is only one purpose, and that is to hope that through cold treatment To quell this controversy, I didn't expect that not only did the scholars not calm down, but they even made a lot of noise. However, all the great scholars also failed to be kind to the Sacred Heart, and followed the chaos. How can the old man not be angry? , a stern reprimand is the proper meaning of the question.

"Huang Ama calm down, sons and ministers dare not be rude and illegal."

At this time when the old man was furious, all the brothers could do was kowtow to beg for forgiveness. As for the effect, it was obviously not good.

"Don't dare? I think you are very daring. If you don't do a serious job, you will do your best. You can play around with military and state affairs. Why don't you dare? Let me say it again, if anyone messes up again , take the clan's mansion with one lock and ask for guilt!"

The old man obviously didn't want to give the elder brothers a chance to speak out on the issue of military equipment, so he gave a harsh lecture unceremoniously. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning in the words was already clear. , then you have to be prepared to walk around without eating.

Well, I'm afraid this matter will be suspended!
As soon as the old man said such harsh words, Hong Qing knew that the matter of updating the military equipment might fail, so she couldn't help but feel a little reconciled in her heart, nothing else, although the plan of updating the military equipment was initiated by the old fourteen, Hong Qing also Why don't you want to improve the combat effectiveness of the army—not to mention fighting for world hegemony in the future, but also to deal with the rebellion of Junggar's troops, you need to have a strong force as a guarantee. If you can make innovations at this time, you will save a lot of trouble The detours, at worst, can save the lives of some soldiers, but it is a pity that the old man has clearly made up his mind, and Hong Qing is extremely unwilling, but he dare not touch the bad luck of the old man at this time, so he can only hope. I hope that the old fourteen can come forward and give him a strong hand.

Although Hongqing's idea is good, it is obviously impossible, there is no other way, the original intention of the old fourteen's introduction is to take this opportunity to make a name for himself, but with the more realistic chapter of the old thirteen Now, everything he wants to conspire is doomed to fall into emptiness. Under such circumstances, the old fourteen will never do thankless things, and keeping silent becomes the bad thing for the old fourteen. The second choice, as for Baye and others, although they intend to promote firearms to curb the advantage of the Ministry of Industry's exclusive gun manufacturing, but they can't guarantee that the old fourteen's regulations will win. If the old thirteen wins, with that As far as the regulations are concerned, it is almost difficult for the old-style generals to gain a foothold in the new army. On the contrary, it will greatly increase the strength of the old thirteen and the third master. Of course, the eighth master will not do such a loss-making business. Ninth and Tenth Masters naturally wouldn't move, and Third Master, although he wanted to push, but lacked courage, it was impossible to speak his mind at this moment, so there was such a strange scene in the hall. Quiet.

"Huang Ama calm down, the thirteenth brother and the fourteenth brother are also loyal, they want to show our country's prestige outside the region. Although they have different ways, they have the same heart. However, it is indeed inappropriate to cause many disputes. Today Although Zhungeer showed signs of abnormal movement, it was just a case of ringworm and scabies, which is nothing to worry about. Therefore, it is unnecessary to resort to military action. In Erchen's opinion, it is better to benefit from the real situation than to spend huge sums of money to reorganize the military. For the people, this is the foundation of the country, and all the things in it are just my humble opinion, so I ask the emperor Ama to judge."

The big guys didn't dare to say a word, but the fourth master came to his senses, but saw him walk a few steps on his knees, squeezed out from the elder brothers, and pulled a lot with a face full of fear.

"Listen, it's good to hear, what is the way to seek the country, this is it! When you are on a business, if you can be like the fourth brother who cares about the people of the country, how much heart can I save, go back to me, Everyone has an apology, and I will read it tomorrow!"

The old man is determined not to reorganize his armaments, and he doesn't want to see the brothers criticize each other, following the words of the fourth brother, and reprimanding everyone, and finally waved his hand impatiently, saying nothing An order to chase away guests was issued.

"Huang Ama (Huang Mafa) Shengming, sons and ministers (grandsons) and others will retire."

The old man had already spoken to such an extent that the crowd didn't dare to say any more, they all kowtowed and praised, and then they all left in such a disheartened manner...
