Chapter 963 Everyone Gets Its Place ([-])

"Master Ma, please do your own thing, let me review these papers first and then talk about it."

Not long after Taninghe left, he led two personal guards to carry a big box from the outsider. The box was full of folds covered with yellow silk. Seeing this, Hong Qing was not very polite. In his words, he nodded towards Ma Qi, and after a casual confession, he picked up the papers and began to review them leisurely.

There are quite a few excerpts, there are more than seventy books, some are long, some are short, the long ones are no less than a thousand words, and the short ones are hundreds of sentences, all of which are remarks against military reform. There are various reasons, ranging from citing scriptures to moving out of ancestral family law, and there is even a new doctor in the Ministry of Punishment and a servant of the third elder brother, Kan Ming, who even made the Shandong earthquake that happened not long ago far-fetched. When it comes to military reforms, it is said that the earthquakes and mountains were caused by someone's attempt to change the family law of the ancestors. I really don't know what it means.

The excerpts are numerous and complicated, including the writings of Jinshi-born masters and the unbearable words of those servants of the elder brothers, but no matter how the literary talent is, they are all chapters that are against Hong Qing. It is not a pleasant thing to review However, Hongqing was not impatient at all. She went through every booklet and added comments one by one patiently. After working for more than half an hour, it was finally over.

"My lord, there are many disputes between the court and China regarding the military reform. It seems inappropriate to rush. Do you think it's better to wait for a while and discuss it in the next day?"

Seeing that Hong Qing finally raised her head from the pile of notebooks, Ma Qi, who had been waiting so anxiously, hurriedly asked for instructions, regardless of the empty stomach.

"Hmm, according to Master Ma's original intention, what should we do with this matter?"

Hong Qing didn't answer Ma Qi's proposal directly, but smiled indifferently and asked indifferently.

"This..., my lord, my lord, I believe that this move is certainly beneficial to the country. However, there are too many controversies and it is not good for the stability of the country. It is better to postpone it."

Ma Qi is not very good at military affairs, but there is one thing he knows. If the military power is in the hands of the emperor, Hongqing's proposal will undoubtedly help the stability of the country. The authority is a bit more important, which is obviously not in line with the Confucian idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, but it is not easy to say this in front of Hong Qing. In desperation, Ma Qi can only bite the bullet and say something.

"Heh, a group of clowns who don't know the so-called old ears, it's really nothing to do. This king has read all the notes brought by Mr. Ma, and none of them can be seen. If Mr. Ma doesn't believe it, just look at it for yourself." gone."

As soon as Ma Qi finished speaking, Hong Qing laughed lightly, and without any scruples, dismissed the chapter of Si Ye and others as worthless.

"This..., my lord, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, I have worked hard for generations to achieve the peace of the world today. Don’t the common people suffer, please think twice.”

Ma Qi was upright by nature, and he really didn't want to see the court split. Even though he knew that Hong Qing had made up his mind, he still refused to give up the possibility of persuading Hong Qing.

"My lord Ma is deeply patriotic. This king has always known about it. Therefore, this king has never kept it from my lord Ma. Hey, let's put it this way, I think Lord Ma knows the truth about the Fengtai Daying incident. If it wasn't for this king's luck, the society would have already collapsed at this moment. Whose fault is it? I'm afraid it wasn't my king? If so, Mr. Ma really wants to persuade me, and he shouldn't come to my king. This is the end of the matter. It is impossible for Wang Juan to say that he will back down, so there is no need for Master Ma to persuade you any more, just go back."

Although Hongqing gave up the idea of ​​playing the Xuanwumen Incident, it does not mean that he has forgiven Emperor Chengde's plots, on the contrary, he has completely lost trust in Emperor Chengde, He intends to play ambiguous activities again, since it is impossible to be swayed by Ma Qi's words, he expresses his attitude extremely forcefully.

"My lord, think twice, you must never do such a thing that hurts your loved ones and makes your enemies happy, my lord..."

Ma Qi used to be on the side of Hongqing most of the time in the court, but he is a direct minister after all, not a direct descendant of Hongqing, so naturally he does not consider issues from the perspective of Hongqing's interests, more The most important thing is to consider the stability of the court, and because of this, hearing that Hong Qing is so stubborn, she immediately became anxious, and wanted to speak again regardless of her care.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to say any more. If this king does not consider the overall situation of the society, he should have acted three days ago. Why delay it until now? Today, my lord has made up his mind, and Lord Ma will bring these chapters together. Come back, come and see off the guests!"

Before Ma Qi could finish speaking, Hong Qing impatiently waved her hand and gave the order to chase away the guest without any hesitation.

"Master Ma, please stop."

Now that Hong Qing had said so, Taning He, who was standing aside, didn't dare to neglect. First, he hurriedly ordered the guards who were waiting beside him to pack up the chapters that had been written on the papers, and then walked a few strides to the horse In front of Qi, he waved his hand and urged him unceremoniously.

"Ugh……"

Seeing that Hong Qing was already acting like this, although Ma Qi was extremely worried, he didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he could only sigh helplessly, bowed to Hong Qing, and then dragged The feet went out...

"Qizou Your Majesty, Mr. Ma is asking to see you outside the palace gate."

At the last three moments, a group of military ministers were still talking to Emperor Chengde in the Qianqing Palace. Not only that, the second elder brother and other adult elder brothers were also in the palace. Although there were many people, the atmosphere seemed rather tense. Although they were all talking and laughing, they were mostly just putting on a show. When they were bored, they saw Li Dequan hurried in from outside the hall, rushed to the front of the imperial court, and hurriedly made a report.

"Xuan, hurry up!"

As soon as Ma Qi came back, Emperor Chengde's spirit immediately lifted, and he said impatiently.

"twitter!"

As soon as Emperor Chengde's golden mouth was opened, Li Dequan dared not to be negligent, he hurriedly and respectfully agreed, and exited the hall with small steps, and after a short while, he accompanied Ma Qi and walked in from the outside again. Two other young eunuchs followed behind carrying a large box full of booklets.

"The old minister kowtows to His Majesty!"

Looking at Emperor Chengde's face full of longing, Ma Qi immediately felt guilty for a while, but he didn't dare to lose his courtesy, so he hurriedly rushed to the front of the emperor, respectfully being a There are too many worshippers.

"No, no, Aiqing has worked hard, how is the situation?"

Emperor Chengde was anxious to know how Hongqing's other end would react, so he yelled repeatedly, and before Ma Qi could thank him according to the court regulations, he impatiently asked for details.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the old minister did see Prince Ren, but..."

Hearing Emperor Chengde's question, Ma Qi's old face couldn't help but look bitter, and he hesitated to answer.

"I love you, but it's okay to say, this place is all my thighs, and there are no outsiders here."

Seeing that Ma Qi was hesitating and refusing to speak, Emperor Chengde became anxious, regardless of whether it was appropriate or not, he kept urging Ma Qi.

"So that His Majesty can know that Prince Ren has read the notes brought by the old minister and has already approved them, but the original intention remains unchanged. The old minister is incompetent. Please punish him."

What Hong Qing said was quite rebellious, Ma Qi was not good at explaining it in detail, he was afraid that the situation would get out of hand, but Emperor Chengde kept urging him, Ma Qi felt very helpless, It can only vaguely summarize the process of the negotiation and only talk about the result.

"Huh? Come on, bring me all those notebooks!"

Emperor Chengde originally had great hopes for Ma Qi's departure, but he didn't expect that Ma Qi could not persuade Hong Qing to give up the military and political reform. Dang even got angry, his face sank, and he stopped drinking in a bad mood.

"twitter!"

Hearing Emperor Chengde's order, the two young eunuchs who were carrying the box didn't dare to delay a little bit, they hurriedly responded, carried the box up to the front wall, and carefully unloaded the notebooks in the box. On the dragon case.

"Crazy rebellion! Absurd! Nizi, Nizi, I am angry, I, I..."

Emperor Chengde frantically flipped through the scriptures, the more he read, the more angry he became in his heart, at the end, he swept all the chapters out of the dragon case in a fury, and cursed angrily, just Curses come and go, do you really want him to order Hong Qing to be taken? He doesn't have the guts yet, so he's just talking about it.

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down, the old minister is punished, the veteran is punished..."

Even though he had expected Emperor Chengde to be furious with thunder, Ma Qi couldn't help but lay down on the ground, begging bitterly while kowtowing his head vigorously.

"Hmph, get out, get out of here!"

At this moment, Emperor Chengde was so angry that he didn't have the heart to listen to Ma Qi's pleadings. He slapped the dragon case furiously and roared hoarsely.

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down!"

"Huang Ama calm down, your dragon body is important, don't let your anger break your bones!"

"Huang Ama, calm down, my son will be willing to ask you to take good care of the dragon's body."

……

When Emperor Chengde was so furious, all the people in the palace couldn't stand anymore, and they all knelt down on the ground in unison. No matter what they thought in their hearts, at this moment, they could only feel bitter. I can't stop crying.

"Wait, wait..., hum!"

Even if he was angry, Emperor Chengde didn't dare to scold Hong Qing too much, and he was born to be uneasy with all the officials in the palace. Apart from being annoyed, he didn't have any thoughts on discussing matters. He pointed at everyone tremblingly, with his nose twisted He groaned obliquely a few times, then let out a heavy cold snort, flicked his sleeves, and then turned into the apse.

Once Emperor Chengde left like this, the discussion naturally came to an end, and all the ministers looked at each other, but they didn't dare to stay in the palace for a long time, so they could only scatter like birds and beasts...
