Chapter 865 Absolute Authority ([-])

On the eighth day of the first lunar month of the second year of Chengde, Master Jiu and Master Shi successively published this chapter. They all said that they had a cold and were too sick to go to court. They asked to rest at home. Please, and send an imperial physician to make a diagnosis and treatment, and give jade Ruyi and other things to show your compassion.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month of the second year of Chengde, the second elder brother Hongsheng and Prince Yong's son Hongli jointly published the book, claiming that the truth about Xin Chouke's case has been revealed after the rigorous trial in recent years. Shangshu Heshen and many other people cheated for personal gain and tried to manipulate the imperial examination to select scholars. The crime was heinous and deserved to be sentenced to death. The emperor was furious when he heard about it, and issued an edict to execute all the officials involved in the case. Just after he was released, the Ministry of Punishment reported that Heshen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, had committed suicide in prison before being detained.

On the first day of February in the second year of Chengde, all 22 officials involved in Xin Chouke's case were taken to Caishikou for execution. Among them, Ding Xufeng, the main criminal, was cut in half, and the rest were killed. , Emperor Chengde was greatly supported by scholars all over the world, and the name of sage rose, and the second elder brother was also famous all over the world because of it. Luo Beizi, the limelight of the two is the same for a while.

On the eighth day of February in the second year of Chengde, the freshly released Dorobel Hongsheng and Prince Yong's son Hongli once again jointly signed the book, claiming that the governments in various places are in serious debts, and the accumulated silver owed to the treasury has reached 3000 million. Fearing that it will be unsustainable, I request to launch a debt settlement storm again, and please do it myself.

The matter of clearing debts has a lot to do with it, and the emperor dared not decide it lightly. He summoned all the ministers of military affairs to discuss it again and again, but it was still difficult to decide. Taking half, the matter was put on hold, and Emperor Chengde summoned Hongsheng and Hongli into the palace, comforted them with kind words, and said that they would discuss this again when the time was ripe.

Although the second elder brother was not allowed to ask for repayment of debts, his reputation for daring to do things has grown. Coupled with his achievements in the trial of Xin Chouke's case, he immediately became the only one among the elder brothers. The man of the hour who was second to Prince Ren Hongqing had somewhat washed away his reputation as a dandy, and he looked like a late bloomer, which really fit the old saying that "a scholar should look at you with admiration after three days", and was secretly promoted by Prince Yong's family. Now, Hongsheng has been compared with Hongqing from time to time, which inevitably has a major impact on Hongqing's unique situation among elder brothers. For this, he has always stayed in the Fengtai camp to train the new army Of course, Hong Qing saw everything in his eyes, but he didn't intervene, and he didn't say anything. He was still advancing the training of the new army in an orderly manner. No, today Hong Qing is another big Woke up early, led the troops to do some morning exercises, and then went back to the admiral's office. After a hasty shower and breakfast, he was busy waiting for the results of the inspection and training of the various ministries, and he was busy until noon. Returning to the admiral's yamen again, just after entering the yamen's gate, he saw a stout general snatched from the side and knelt down in front of Hong Qing.

"The last general kowtows to the prince!"

Although the action of the visitor rushing out was abrupt, the etiquette was incomparably thoughtful, the voice of greeting was exceptionally loud and full of pride, it was obvious that he was no ordinary person.

"Dongmei? Ha, when did you arrive?"

Hong Qing took a closer look and immediately recognized the person who came. It was Yue Zhongqi who had helped Hong Qing win Nian Gengyao back then.

"Returning to the prince, the last general just graduated from the Infantry Command Academy yesterday, and he came to report to the prince today."

Yue Zhongqi was transferred to the Infantry Command Academy after assisting Hongqing to fight the chaos last year, and became one of the senior students. After more than a year of study, she graduated as No.1 yesterday, and came to Fengtai early this morning It's a pity that Hongqing went to various departments for examination early in the morning, so Yue Zhongqi could only wait patiently at the gate of the yamen, with a serious expression on her face, but in fact, she was very anxious. At the beginning, Hongqing did promise him when he was suppressing the rebellion, but after more than a year, Hongqing never asked him about Yue Zhongqi's situation, or even summoned him alone. Under such circumstances, Yue Zhongqi was worried It was inevitable, but at this moment, seeing Hong Qing's expression was very gentle, Yue Zhongqi's uneasiness was immediately relieved, and she hurriedly explained respectfully.

"It's just in time. Come, come and enter the government office with me. This king should take a good test of what I have learned this year. If you don't make any progress, be careful that I will hit you!"

Yue Zhongqi is a general that Hongqing is very optimistic about. After hand-picking him to study in the Infantry Command Academy, Hongqing seems to ignore him, but in fact, his performance in the school is almost every ten days. After sorting it out and submitting it to Hong Qing's case, no matter how busy Hong Qing is, she will take the time to review it. In other words, Hong Qing knows Yue Zhongqi's study situation very well, but what? But he didn't intend to point it out, but he stretched out his hand to support Yue Zhongqi very politely, and joked with him while laughing.

"The last general is in panic, my lord, please please first!"

Seeing Hongqing treat each other casually like this, Yue Zhongqi couldn't help but feel terrified when she was excited, nothing else, the relationship between him and Hongqing was only a few days, and she dared not take Hongqing's Considering himself a confidant, he hurriedly took half a step behind him, bowed his body, and waved his hands to say please.

"Dongmei doesn't have to be so restrained, come on, let's go together."

Hong Qing laughed, stretched out her hand and grabbed Yue Zhongqi's arm, and walked into the yamen without any explanation. Yue Zhongqi was certainly flattered by such an intimate gesture, but the officers and soldiers who were watching the excitement at the side Everyone's eyes turned red with envy, and many people rushed to find out who this incomparably short and stocky lieutenant was.

"Dongmei is not bad, have you gained a lot from this year's study? Okay, my king said that if you can successfully graduate from the Infantry Command Academy, you will be the vanguard of our army. Today, you have already completed your studies. When you come back, it’s time for this king to fulfill his promise, right now the First Division of the First Army still lacks a division commander, do you dare to do it?”

Hong Qing led Yue Zhongqi into the back hall of the yamen talking and laughing all the way, each of them divided the guests and hosts into their seats, and the guards who were quick to see the opportunity rushed to serve the freshly brewed fragrant tea, and then each retreated to the side. Hong Qing didn't bother to touch the teacup, and laughed and tested some of Yue Zhongqi's military points. Then, she changed the subject and mentioned the original promise, and even wanted to hand over the most elite First Division to Yue Zhongqi on the spot. command.

"dare!"

Yue Zhongqi has been in the capital for more than a year. Although she has been studying hard in the Infantry Command Academy, she is not a person who does not hear things outside the window. How could she not know that the First Division of the First Army is the veteran of the New Army? The foundation has always been known as the most elite division. Even if a large number of backbones were transferred to enrich the various armies due to the expansion, it is still the number one in the entire army in terms of equipment and the quality of officers and soldiers. You can go if you want to, but now, such a teacher's throne is about to come down suddenly, Yue Zhongqi was really overjoyed, she immediately fell to her knees excitedly, and answered a word neatly.

"Om..."

When Hong Qing gave such an order, all the guards waiting nearby couldn't help but burst into an uproar, nothing else, you must know that the First Division of the First Army is the main force among the main forces, but the post of division commander is always vacant. The training and daily management of the first army were temporarily replaced by Ta Shan, the commander of the First Army. For this reason, there were countless people in the army who were greedy. Many of them were new generals from the guards, but Hong Qing had never been recognized by them, but now they were promised to such an unknown general as Yue Zhongqi, which really made all the guards look dumbfounded.

"Okay, if Dongmei can have such arrogance, the king will be relieved. Now there are less than two months before the expedition. You must hurry up and make sure to control the troops well during this time. If something goes wrong, don't worry." Blame me for beating your army stick!"

Hong Qing didn't pay attention to the astonishment of the guards at all, her face became serious, and she pointed to Yue Zhongqi with a stern voice.

"The last general is willing to serve as a military order!"

Yue Zhongqi is a proud person, naturally she is not afraid of all challenges, even though the time limit given by Hong Qing is extremely short, Yue Zhongqi doesn't care, and expresses her position arrogance and loudly.

"Okay, this king will remember this, come and get the seal!"

After Hong Qing looked at Yue Zhongqi seriously for a while, she smiled, waved her hand, and gave the order loudly.

"twitter!"

Hearing Hongqing's order, Ding Song who was waiting beside him didn't dare to neglect, he hastily responded, and hurried out of the back hall, after a while, he was walking outside with a tray in his hand When he came in, there was a gold seal and a black iron command arrow on the tray.

"Dongmei's ability, this king is trustworthy, you can do it for yourself, don't let down this king's trust, go."

Hong Qing stretched out her hand to take the seal from Ding Song, handed it to Yue Zhongqi who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a peaceful voice.

"twitter!"

Yue Zhongqi took the seal cautiously, kowtowed respectfully, then got up and walked out with big strides, her steps were steady and powerful, although she didn't say anything boldly, her self-confidence was fully revealed.

"Ding Song."

Hong Qing didn't get up to see Yue Zhongqi off, she just sat there silently until Yue Zhongqi had disappeared, and then Hong Qing called Ding Song's name in a hoarse voice.

"The end is here!"

Hearing Hong Qing's greeting, Ding Song, who was waiting beside him, didn't dare to neglect him, so he hurried out from the side and answered the promise loudly.

"Go, pass on the king's order, and the operation with the word 'Wei' will begin immediately."

Hong Qing didn't speak in a hurry to give orders, but after being silent for a long time, she squeezed out a very sinister sentence from between her teeth. Although the volume was not very loud, the murderous intent inside was astonishingly strong ...
