Kowloon wins

Chapter 851
"Xi'er, since your elder brother said so, do you still dare to be stubborn?"

Although Chengde likes the third elder brother who is cool like him, he also clearly knows that his talent is far from being comparable to Hong Qing's. , I felt a chill in my heart, and suddenly remembered the countless people who were cheated to death by Hong Qing in the past years, and I couldn't bear to sit and watch the third elder brother also become one of the victims. The problem is that Hong Qing obviously has murderous intentions. Emperor Chengde really didn't dare to help Hongxi too much, otherwise, he would really have to die with Hongqing, and this is obviously not something that Emperor Chengde can bear—— Emperor Chengde suppressed Hongqing in order to prevent Hongqing from wanting to usurp power, but he had no intention of putting Hongqing to death, at least not yet. While secretly vigilant, he hastily hinted at Hong Xi.

"Returning to Emperor Ama, you don't have to be afraid of the so-called reason to travel all over the world. Since the eldest brother insists on doing this, it is enough for the son to accompany you."

Although Hong Xi also grew up in Prince Cheng's Mansion, she is only less than four years younger than Hong Qing, but she has never participated in the battle for the heir apparent, even though she has heard a lot about Hong Qing's strength However, he himself has never been taught by himself, and he can't help but take it for granted that Hong Qing's ability is due to the strength of Chen and Li's two counselors. Now, Li Minquan is on Hongxi's side. Before this attack, Li Minquan also approved of this action, and gave advice to Qi Haosheng. Because of this, Hong Xi was very confident, and did not think that he would lose to Hong Qing, even if he had heard He understood the hint in Emperor Chengde's words, but he didn't take it seriously, and gave an affirmative answer with a generous face.

"Well, no matter what, Li Dequan, pass on my will and announce that all officials in Beijing from the first rank and above will come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation for discussion."

Seeing that Hongxi was so confident, Emperor Chengde didn't want to spend any more time talking, so he nodded solemnly, waved his hand, and then issued a verbal order.

"twitter!"

Hearing that Emperor Chengde opened his golden mouth, Li Dequan didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, he hurriedly responded, and led the two young eunuchs to leave the Qianqing Palace in a hurry, and went to arrange related matters without mentioning .

"The Emperor is here!"

Li Dequan's work efficiency is really not low. In less than half an hour before and after, all the officials from the first rank and above in Beijing have gathered in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Except for the old fourteenth from Zunhua and the old thirteenth who sits in Fengtai Daying, all of them have arrived. As for Hong Qing and other elder brothers, they were driven by Emperor Chengde to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to wait for them. People gathered in this Hall of Mental Cultivation, noisy noises were unavoidable, they were in a state of chaos, but they heard a shrill voice of shouting from the back hall, and everyone dared not speak again. Even if there was any presumptuous behavior, they all took their places in a proper manner, and all stood with hands down, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Chengde.

"The ministers (children, etc.) kowtow to His Majesty!"

Amidst the sound of footsteps, Emperor Chengde, dressed in bright yellow attire, finally walked out of the apse slowly surrounded by a large group of court ladies and eunuchs. When everyone saw this, they did not dare to be negligent and knelt down one after another. Falling to the ground, Qiqi saluted loudly and paid homage incessantly.

"Forget it, all my loves will be saved."

Emperor Chengde went straight to the back of the dragon table in the middle, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down there, then looked around solemnly at all the people kneeling on the ground, and raised his hands falsely. The voice called out calmly.

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

Since Emperor Chengde shouted, it is the rule of the court to shout long live three times, but he has nothing to say.

"My dear friends, you and I are here today to discuss with the envoys of the Kingdom of Great Britain. Today, the negotiations have reached a deadlock, and many ministers have objections to this. It is really difficult for me to decide, so I have to ask All the lovers came to make a judgment, I hope you can uphold the public heart and offer advice and suggestions for the well-being of our society, don't let me down."

Although Emperor Chengde was not very optimistic about Hongxi's move to shake Hongqing, he didn't intend to forcibly stop it, nothing else, just because Emperor Chengde still had a hint of luck in his heart, hoping that Hongxi would It can bring him an unexpected surprise. It is precisely because of such considerations that Emperor Chengde decided to put this matter in front of all the important officials to resolve it. Of course, such dark thoughts are definitely not open to the public. However, all Emperor Chengde can say is those high-sounding nonsense that is not very nutritious.

"The ministers should try their best to serve the country, and dare not live up to His Majesty's great trust."

Although Emperor Chengde said all nonsense, all the officials and workers did not dare to take it as nonsense, so they could only be loyal to each other.

"Well, I can trust the loyalty of Qing and others. Well, let's stop gossip and let's get down to business, Hongxi!"

After Emperor Chengde said a few casual words, he didn't say any more, but directly called the name of the third elder brother.

"My son is here!"

No matter what Emperor Chengde thinks, Hongxi's morale is very high. Before Emperor Chengde showed up, Hongxi was extremely high-profile in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, laughing and chatting with the courtiers on the side of the Eighth Lord with great ambition. Feeling complacent about winning, Hong Xi heard that Emperor Chengde had finally called his name, and Hong Xi couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart any longer. The voice agreed.

"Since you have different opinions on Qing'er's handling, let's talk about it in detail and listen to me and all my loved ones."

Although Hongxi was extremely confident, Emperor Chengde made up his mind not to participate in this troubled water, he just wanted to be an arbitrator, and he would not give Hongxi any hints or encouragement in words. It's just a matter of fact.

"Yes, my son obeys the order!"

Hong Xi is usually very shrewd, but at this moment when his mood was in a state of complete disorientation, he really didn't notice that Emperor Chengde's mind had changed. He still thought that Emperor Chengde was still on his side, and he was really in a good mood One can't do it, but fortunately he has not lost his sanity, but he has not forgotten to salute first.

"Ah."

Seeing that Hongxi didn't notice her hint at all, and that she was far behind Hongqing in terms of ability and experience, Emperor Chengde immediately lowered her expectations by several notches, but he didn't bring When it came to his face, he just nodded calmly and said softly, indicating that Hong Xi could start.

"So that Huang Ama can learn that there is a servant under the servant named Dahe, who is currently the head of the Ministry of Rites. He attended the reception of the British Mission the night before yesterday. People have talked to each other... In order to confirm what Dahe said, I not only visited many big merchants in Beijing, but also personally visited the head and deputy envoys of the British Mission, and had a detailed discussion with them. Therefore, I can be sure that this country really intends to do business with our Qing Dynasty here. The proposed terms, from the perspective of business and trade, are really beneficial to our Qing Dynasty. The reason why they cannot be implemented is probably because some people Relying on privileges and forcibly suppressing them, he has ulterior motives and seems to be suspected of using power for personal gain, I really don't agree with it, I should fight to the end with all my might, and for the benefit of our country, I will not hesitate to die!"

Hongxi's eloquence is quite good, after a long speech, it is worth hundreds of words, but thanks to his articulateness, his words are impassioned, which can be said to be extremely demagogic.

"Your Majesty, I have learned from you that what the third elder brother said is very true. Some people rely on the power in their hands to act recklessly, harm the public and benefit their own interests, and have ulterior motives. It is really unbearable. They should be severely punished!"

As soon as Hongxi finished speaking, Master Jiu stood up boldly and echoed in a very high-profile way. Although he didn't point it out clearly, the point of the finger in his words was unmistakably directed at Hong Qing, who was in charge of the negotiation. big picture.

"That's right, some people think that they are powerful, and they don't want to serve the court, but they use power for personal gain and secretly cultivate power. They should be punished!"

As soon as Master Jiu's voice fell, Master Ten immediately jumped out, grinning and yelling.

"Your Majesty has learned from you, I think this is a disgrace to our court, so we should investigate thoroughly!"

"Your Majesty, this minister agrees!"

"The minister also agrees!"

……

With Jiu Ye and Shi Ye taking the lead, Arsuna, Nalan Kuixu and other Eight Ye's party members all started to make a mess, everyone shouted for beating, everyone shouted for killing, and Hong Qing was put to death in one fell swoop. As for the posture of death, as for the eighth master, although he stood still, the smile on his face seemed extremely complacent.

"Ok?"

Seeing so many people jumping up to criticize Hongqing, the second elder brother also became energetic. He didn't want the limelight to be given up by the third elder brother, so he moved his feet, thinking of standing up and supporting him , but without waiting for him to make a move, Hongli standing beside him quickly stretched out his hand and tugged at his sleeve, and gave the second elder brother an unstoppable look with a dignified expression. The second elder brother didn't dare to stand up like this, but he couldn't help but let out a light sigh, obviously quite dissatisfied with Hongli's blocking behavior.

At this time, even though the Baye Party was making a fuss, Hongli still cautiously did not explain. He just shook his head slightly, clearly expressing his objection. I am optimistic about Hongxi's ability, and I don't think that Hongxi can win this fierce pre-court debate with the support of the Baye Party. With full confidence, with Hong Qing's temperament, how could it be possible for Hong Xi to be so presumptuous? Now, since Hong Xi was allowed to play like this, it was obvious that the hole was dug and waited for Hong Xi to jump. Hongxi, if he doesn't have a land, he will be buried with him. With Hongli's shrewdness, he will naturally not do such stupid things.

"Ugh!"

Although Hongsheng is stubborn, he is very convinced of Hongli. Seeing that Hongli disagrees with his life and death at this time, he dare not insist on it anymore, but the unwillingness in his heart is obviously too strong. Very soon, the sourness in the sigh could blow against the wind for ten miles, but it's a pity that Hongli ignored him, Hongsheng had no choice but to just sit and watch helplessly...
