Chapter 967 Tough Posture ([-])
"The matter assigned by the prince, the subordinates will do their best, but our military department has an important task of coordination after all. If it is only for these two matters, it may be difficult to explain to your majesty. Hehe, I will not hide it from the prince. Some of the officials of the Second Division of the Staff Party are already ready to be used, but the nearly a thousand officials in our military department are still idle, and they will inevitably be impeached, so please ask the prince to help you."

Xun Zhu is an old official, so how can he be so easy to dismiss? Besides, this time he came here under the secret order of Emperor Chengde. If he can't really intervene in the military reform, he will definitely beat Chengde Naturally, it was impossible for Hong Qing to be fooled by the Emperor's plan, but seeing him slapping haha ​​and insisting on co-organizing, it was clear that he was going to carry out the scoundrel to the end.

Oh, this old thing is really shameless!

Seeing Xun Zhu's nonsense attitude, although Hong Qing's face remained calm, she couldn't stop her anger, but it didn't attack Xun Zhu, it was just a voice He opened his mouth slightly coldly and said: "Master Xun is so devoted to his duties, his spirit is really commendable, but, as the saying goes, you have to eat one bite at a time, and this matter has to be dealt with one by one, and now the matter of military affairs reform has just begun. In the process of preparation, there is no need to go to war. If the Ministry of War can really complete the two tasks assigned by the king, it will be regarded as a great achievement. When I come to the Japanese King's Self-Assembly, it is for Lord Xun and the princes of the Ministry of War to present my merits. It is so good first. gone."

"My lord's lesson is, huh, huh, I'll keep it in mind, my lord, don't worry, I won't handle these two matters wrongly, but, huh, it's just that I said it before, and these two things are not the same. Big, a few manpower will be more than enough to deal with it, after all, it will not be possible to leave many manpower in our military department idle, and this one, I ask the prince to learn from it."

Xunzhu belongs to brown sugar, even though Hong Qing's words were chilling, but Xunzhu pretended not to hear it, and he was still entangled endlessly with a smile. One set, that is, the words are slightly different, but the meaning is exactly the same.

"What can Mr. Xun do to help the king, huh?"

Seeing that Xun Zhu was so ungrateful, Hong Qing stopped giving him a very good look, and asked a question in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty Mingjian, this officer has been in the Ministry of War for quite a long time. I dare not say that I do know a little about military affairs. If I really want to say it, I have some experience in the construction of the logistics headquarters and the headquarters of various services and arms. If The prince can trust me, and I am willing to lead all my colleagues in the military department to do my best so that there will be no danger of mistakes."

Hearing Hong Qing's cold question, even Xun Zhu could be regarded as a courageous person, but he still couldn't help turning pale, but when he thought of the secret order he had borne, he didn't dare to shrink back. Then he forcefully squeezed out a smile, slapped his chest pretending to be proud, and spouted a lot without shame.

"Heh, what a big tone, Mr. Xun has fired a gun or fired a cannon, or knows cavalry tactics, huh?"

Seeing Xun Zhu boasting there, Hong Qing laughed out of anger, glanced at him coldly, and asked with disdain.

"Well, hehe, the lord laughed at me. Although I dare not say that I am proficient, I still know a little bit. Besides, among the officials in my military department, there are extraordinary experts in military strategy. It should be..."

After all, Xunzhu is just a bureaucrat, so how can he know anything about military strategy? The reason why he was able to become the minister of the Ministry of War is the result of Emperor Chengde's promotion. Now that he is asked by Hongqing like this, he can't help but feel guilty in his heart No, it's just that this guy has a thick skin, even if he doesn't know anything about the new army, he dares to talk nonsense endlessly.

"That's enough, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, and I've done the two things that I told you, and it's not too late to talk about the rest, come and see off!"

For people like Xun Zhu who don't know their face, Hong Qing is really too lazy to deal with them with empty words. Before he finished speaking, he waved his hand unceremoniously, and coldly gave the order to chase away the guests.

"My lord, I'm the deputy imperial envoy, you can't..."

Thinking of his high position and authority, and with the support of Emperor Chengde, Xunzhu originally wanted to wrestle with Hongqing, but he didn't expect Hongqing to act so forcefully. She really burst into a frenzy, opening her mouth to argue with Hong Qing.

"Master Xun, please!"

Before Xun Zhu could finish his words of protest, Ding Song had already led several guards of the royal residence to force him forward. If Xiao Xunzhu dared to speak out again, all the guards would definitely not give him any face.

"Humph!"

After all, Xun Zhu is a cunning old man. Knowing that he would suffer a disadvantage, he didn't dare to say any more. After snorting coldly, he got up, and under the escort of Ding Song and others, he angrily After leaving the Summer Palace, I drove to the imperial city in a sedan chair...

"My lord, Eunuch Li has come and said that His Majesty has an order for you."

The matter of military and political reform is complicated. Although a large number of people from the New Army and the Infantry Command Academy have been mobilized to come to the Summer Palace to listen to orders, there are still countless things that Hong Qing has to decide in person. Under such circumstances, Hong Qing Since she couldn't stay idle, after sending Xun Zhu away, Hong Qing stepped forward again. When she was too busy, she saw Ding Song walking in from the outside, and grabbed Hong Qing's body with a few strides. Beside, lowered his voice to report.

"Oh, I see."

There was no need to listen to it at all, Hong Qing could guess what Li Dequan's verbal instruction was, and she was very disdainful in her heart, but she didn't bring it to her face, she just said quietly He let out a sound, and did not rush to receive the order outside the garden gate, but calmly told a general who was reporting the matter before, then got up and walked slowly towards the garden gate.

"Your Majesty issued an oral order to declare: Prince Ren Hongqing will immediately enter the palace to have an audience, hereby!"

Sure enough, as Hong Qing expected, Li Dequan's oral instruction was only a short sentence, but the connotation was not simple. There is no doubt that Emperor Chengde planned to make decisions for Xunzhu.

"Thank you, my minister, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Although the heart is very bored, it is necessary to make efforts to save face. No matter how upset, Hongqing will not let people talk about etiquette. Thank you for the decree.

"My lord, please, Your Majesty is waiting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Just when Hong Qing got up, Li Dequan rushed forward, bowed, and urged him with a flattering smile.

"Well, Eunuch Li, please wait a moment, let me make some arrangements?"

Knowing that going to see Emperor Chengde is definitely not a good thing, but after all, it is not good to openly resist the order. Besides, Hongqing already has a countermeasure in mind, but she is not afraid of making things difficult for Emperor Chengde. Of course, Before going, Hong Qing definitely would not neglect the work of security. After all, the two sides have already torn their faces, so Hong Qing dare not take it lightly.

"If you have something to do, just be busy, the old slave is waiting here."

Li Dequan urged him to return, but he didn't have the guts to really argue with Hong Qing. Now that he heard Hong Qing's words, he dared not have any objections, so he could only accompany Xiaoxin with a flattering smile...

Yo, is it really a banquet? Hey, interesting!
Fang Yi walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and saw Emperor Chengde sitting on top with a gloomy face, while Li Minquan and Lang Erheng, the two closest military ministers of Emperor Chengde, and the second, third, and fourth elder brothers lined up on the left and right As for Xunzhu, he knelt in the hall with a face full of sincerity and fear. The whole hall was full of people who were at odds with Hong Qing. This posture was obviously not right. There is no doubt that Emperor Chengde wanted to play a siege It's a trick, if it weren't for this, Ma Qi, Fang Bao, Zhang Tingyu and others would not have all been left behind.

"My son kowtowed to Huang Ama!"

Even though she was bored with Emperor Chengde from the bottom of her heart, Hong Qing would never be negligent in etiquette in such public occasions, but seeing him rushing a few steps to get to the imperial court, she respectfully respected Emperor Chengde. It's a big gift and there are too many worshippers.

"no."

Looking at Hong Qing's face full of sincerity, Emperor Chengde's mood, which was not in a good mood at first, immediately turned darker. He wanted Hong Qing to kneel down and answer, but in the end, he still didn't like that. Courageous, after hesitating for a moment, he finally cried out reluctantly.

"Thank you Emperor Amalongen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Although the voice of Emperor Chengde was full of impatience, when Hong Qing thanked her, she was still meticulous and serious, so well-mannered that no one could pick out the slightest flaw.

"I heard that Qing'er and Xun Shangshu had a dispute over military affairs reform. Is there such a thing?"

Although Emperor Chengde did not dare to embarrass Hongqing in terms of etiquette, he did not intend to make it easier for Hongqing. No, just as Hongqing got up, Emperor Chengde opened his mouth with a frown.

"So that Huang Ama knows that there is no dispute, but some differences."

Hearing that Emperor Chengde came up with a tone of accountability, Hong Qing sneered secretly in her heart, but she didn't express any dissatisfaction, she just explained in a calm voice.

"Divergence? Is that so, huh?"

Emperor Chengde called Hong Qing over in such a hurry, just to get sidetracked, how could Hong Qing hold back because of his upright attitude, and asked coldly.

"Returning to the emperor Ama, the fact is like this, my son really dare not lie to the king."

Facing Emperor Chengde's aggression, Hong Qing was not angry, nor did he humbly plead guilty, and responded without changing his face and heartbeat.

"Oh, is that so? Hmph, Xun Zhu, you are so courageous, how dare you blatantly bully the king!"

Hearing what Hong Qing said, although Emperor Chengde's face remained gloomy, a trace of ruthlessness flashed quickly in his eyes. Then he took a sip.
