Chapter 968 Tough Stance ([-])
"Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down, even if the old minister has eaten the heart of a leopard, he will never dare to lie to the king, Your Majesty, what the old minister said is true, there is absolutely no falsehood, Your Majesty..."

There is obviously a tacit understanding between Xunzhu and Emperor Chengde. No, Emperor Chengde was furious just now, and Xunzhu immediately kowtowed his head like pounding garlic and called out "Bian Tianqu", crying, really quite It has the charm of flying snow in June.

"Well, really?"

When Xun Zhu called Qu, although Emperor Chengde's face was still flat, there was a trace of excitement in his eyes unconsciously, but the tone of the question did not soften, on the contrary, it became more chilly. point.

"Returning to His Majesty, the old minister dare not bully the King."

Although Emperor Chengde's tone was cold, Xunzhu didn't panic at all, because he knew very well that the chill was not coming towards him, but towards Hongqing. All he had to do was follow the trend and push the shit basin on Hong Qing's head. As for the rest, all the people in the hall would sing along.

"If you don't dare to deceive the emperor, then tell me in detail how this happened today, tell me!"

Emperor Chengde's desire to make excuses for Hongqing's attack was too strong, almost to the point of not concealing it, no, just as Xunzhu's words fell, Emperor Chengde immediately snorted coldly, It's clear that he's about to play the role of an emperor.

"So that His Majesty can know that since I received the mission to co-organize the military reform, the old minister has already started to make relevant arrangements. There are more than a thousand officials in our military department enthusiastically waiting for Prince Ren's call. After waiting for many days, I didn't see any instructions from Prince Ren. When the old minister was puzzled, he could only go to see Prince Ren in person. He didn't ask for anything else, but he only wanted to be worthy of His Majesty's great trust, and the next to be able to Give me an explanation of the enthusiasm of the officials of the Ministry of War, but no matter what the old ministers said, Prince Ren refused to give the officials of the Ministry of War a chance to participate, and instead drove the veterans out. The old ministers had no choice but to come to invite your majesty It's up to the old minister to decide."

Xunzhu has been in the officialdom all his life, so he is very familiar with the tricks of making complaints. What he said can be said to be eloquent and expressive. The "arrogant and rude" was exposed, and he did not talk about the specific conversation process, but only talked about the unfair treatment he had received. This is really the essence of avoiding the truth.

"Brother, how could you act so recklessly? Your Excellency is the elder of the two dynasties. He is highly respected. He is also the pillar of our Daqing society and the deputy envoy appointed by Huang Ama. No matter which way you say it, You can't treat it so casually?"

As soon as Xunzhu finished speaking, before Emperor Chengde could express anything, a person stepped out from the sidelines and lashed out at Hongqing without any scruples. This person was the fourth elder brother Hongjing—the fourth elder brother always He is an ambitious person, but it is a pity that his position among the elder brothers is quite embarrassing. Although he is a direct son, he has two direct elder brothers, Hong Qing and Hong Sheng. The romantic and suave third elder brother Hongxi, no matter how you count, it would be difficult for Hongjing to come out on top. In addition, he has always been rather aloof and arrogant, disdainful of engaging in cliques and gangs. Among the elder brothers, he is a lonely one. He has no power at all in the court, and there is no doubt that if he wants to make a difference, he can only hug Emperor Chengde's thigh tightly. The fourth elder brother was going to go into battle barebacked, and this head-on bombardment was going to be so fierce.

"Huang Ama, my son thinks what the fourth brother said is true. The elder brother is so reckless, but he still has Chao Gang and Huang Ama in his eyes. Such actions are unforgivable!"

The second elder brother Hongsheng originally wanted to rush to fire at Hongqing, but he didn't expect to be preempted by Hongjing, so he couldn't help being anxious and angry, but at this moment, he didn't care to get angry with Hongjing, He also stood up in a hurry, and fired another cannon at Hong Qing.

"Hmph, Qing'er, do you have any explanation for this, huh?"

Regarding the shooting of the second and fourth elder brothers, Emperor Chengde was naturally very happy to see it, but he did not express his position in a hurry, but turned his attention to the third elder brother Hongxi, obviously wanting to wait The third elder brother also stood up and condemned Hong Qing, but he didn't expect that the third elder brother kept his head down, and he didn't look like he was going to stand out at all. When he saw this, Emperor Chengde's eyes rolled for a while Annoyed and puzzled, it's just a word, but it's not good to get angry at Hong Xi, so she can only snort heavily, and vent all her anger at Hong Qing.

"Returning to the words of Emperor Ama, the sage said: The pure will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. Since the ministers have led the decree to supervise the reform of military affairs, they should take it as the most important thing. But if it is beneficial to this, all the ministers will Agree, otherwise, my son can only thank you for not being sensitive!"

explain?The explanation of the fart, Emperor Chengde has already put on a posture of pulling sideways. No matter how you explain it, it will be useless. The emperor wanted to argue endlessly, and besides, now that the military is in control, Hongqing really doesn't need to care too much about Chengde's insidious tricks, but the proper etiquette must be observed, because of this, When Hong Qing answered Emperor Chengde's question, although she was polite, her words were very rigid.

"..."

As soon as Hong Qing's unconvincing words came out, Emperor Chengde was so angry that he trembled all over the place. He wanted to speak out, but he didn't have the guts. Not to mention the 10,000+ elite new troops in the camp, most of the soldiers and horses in the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion and even the Shuntian Mansion in the city are controlled by Hong Qing. Emperor Chengde could afford it.

"Presumptuous, do you talk to Huang Ama like this? This is disobedience and deception!"

The second elder brother was robbed of the limelight by the fourth elder brother earlier, and he was feeling annoyed in his heart. Seeing that Emperor Chengde was trembling with anger from Hong Qing, he immediately regained his energy. Jun put his big hat on Hong Qing's head.

"Brother, it's too much for you to say that. It is Huang Ama's oracle to co-operate with military affairs. How can you refuse to ignore it? From a small point of view, it chills the hearts of the princes of the Ministry of War. Da Li said, it is inevitable that there will be suspicions of disobedience, and it is really not what we and the disciples of the Tian family should do, so please be careful with your words."

As soon as the second elder brother finished speaking, the fourth elder brother also spoke, although not as explosive as the second elder brother, but his words were also full of evil spirits.

"Ah."

Rao, the second and fourth elder brothers were jumping happily, but Hong Qing didn't care about it at all, she didn't even bother to pay attention to it, she just laughed it off.

"The emperor calmed down. This servant thinks that there must be a misunderstanding. Prince Ren has been in power for many years. He has always handled affairs honestly and honestly. He is definitely not Meng Lang's generation. There is no one in the world who does not know about this. I beseech Your Majesty to look into it."

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Lang Erheng, Minister of Military Aircraft and Minister of Lifan Academy, couldn't help but panic, nothing else, just because he had dealt with Hong Qing many times, how could he not know how cunning Hong Qing was? It's ruthless, and what's more clear is that as long as Hongqing is willing, she can invite Emperor Chengde to be the Supreme Emperor at any time. If a few elder brothers really make Hongqing angry, I'm afraid the old incident of Xuanwumen will be staged, and once In this way, how could they, who are the confidantes of Emperor Chengde, have a good end at all, they dare not let the second and fourth elder brothers go on like this, so they hurriedly dodged and walked from the side Standing up, he made some remarks with a look of sincerity and fear on his face.

"Well... I have always been aware of Qing'er's virtuous ability. However, military affairs reform is an important task of the imperial court, and it is necessary to be more cautious. The determination of the soldiers to serve the country must not be ignored. Qing'er has something to say about this." It’s even arranged, let’s talk about it and listen to me.”

Emperor Chengde put on such a big battle, originally thinking to force Hongqing, but he never thought that Hongqing would dare to fight so forcefully, and he was extremely angry in his heart, but anger returned to anger, Emperor Chengde really did not have the guts to really He fought Hongqing to the end, and now, with Lang Erheng's presence, Emperor Chengde had the opportunity to borrow the slope to descend the donkey's steps, so he hastened to snort and nonsense in a tactful tone.

"Returning to the Emperor Ama, when Shangshu came to see my son this morning, my son made it clear that there is a specialization in art, and it is absolutely impossible for an outsider to guide an insider. However, the Ministry of War The devotion of the princes to serve the country cannot be ignored. Therefore, the son-in-law has asked Mr. Xun to be responsible for the arrangement of the arsenal and the archives of various places. Great things are really beneficial. As for the rest of the things, everything is just beginning now, and it is not yet time for big changes. Whenever there is a need, the Ministry of War should be the first. However, the minister has already said it so clearly Lord Xun is still pestering him endlessly, it is really suspected of disturbing the official affairs, and I have no choice but to ask Lord Xun to come back temporarily, and this is how things are, I will never dare to lie to anyone, so please ask Emperor Ama to investigate."

Hong Qing has been wallowing in the muddy pond of the imperial court for more than twenty years, how can she be an arrogant young man, when should be tough, when should be a little retreat, Hong Qing's heart is like a mirror. Clearly, before Emperor Chengde planned to play tricks, Hongqing would not give him room to display it. Now, Emperor Chengde intends to compromise temporarily, and Hongqing will not be tough to the end, but seeing him bow, He has already given a detailed explanation with a full face of sincerity.

"Forget it. Since this matter is a misunderstanding, it's good to explain it clearly. The matter of military reform is the most important thing in the country. It must not be ignored a little bit. Qing'er will go to work on her own."

Seeing that Hongqing could not be forced to submit by coercive means, although Emperor Chengde was full of unwillingness and humiliation, he had no choice but to do so. In this regard, an order to expel the guests was issued.

"Huang Ama Shengming, my son and minister will leave."

Now that the turmoil has been resolved, Hong Qing is too lazy to say goodbye. Since Emperor Chengde called back, Hong Qing didn't want to stay any longer. After a respectful compliment, she left the Hall of Mental Cultivation and went back to the Summer Palace on her own. ...
