Chapter 969 Strong Rebound ([-])

"Huang Ama, elder brother is so conceited, it's really too presumptuous, I think I can't go lightly!"

Hong Qing had just left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but the second elder brother who had been ruthlessly ignored by Hong Qing before couldn't hold back anymore, blushing and yelling loudly.

"Huang Ama, this minister thinks what the second brother said is true. This kind of rebellious behavior of the elder brother is really not the way a courtier should do. He should be severely punished!"

As soon as the second elder brother's voice fell, the fourth elder brother also followed suit. Obviously, his idea was the same as that of the second elder brother. They all wanted to win Emperor Chengde's favor by attacking Hong Qing, but they had been following him in the past. The third elder brother who Hong Qing couldn't get through was always silent, and he never even raised his bowed head, just like a wooden sculpture of clay, but if you look carefully, you will find that there is a clear expression in his eyes. There was a strong sense of disdain, and as for who the disdain was directed at, only he himself knew.

"That's enough, get out of here, get out!"

The calculations of the two elder brothers were quite loud, but it was a pity that the flattery was obviously shot on the horse's leg, nothing else, and Emperor Chengde was annoyed because he had nothing to do with Hongqing. Without looking at the right time, they yelled that Hong Qing should be severely punished. If it could be done, why would they need to remind them that Emperor Chengde had already done it himself? What is the incompetence of the emperor?As far as Emperor Chengde's mind was not too broad, he couldn't bear the aggrieved heart, but when he saw him slapping the dragon case furiously, he began to shout and curse at the top of his voice.

"Huang Ama calm down, and my sons and servants will leave."

Emperor Chengde was so furious that not only the second and fourth elder brothers couldn't bear it anymore, even the third elder brother who had been standing silently by the side didn't dare to stay any longer. They all left the hall, and they parted ways without much conversation.

"You bastard, rebellious son, evil, dare to treat me like this, you are so angry with me, I, I will definitely not let it go!"

As soon as the elder brothers left like this, Emperor Chengde couldn't hold back his airs as an emperor anymore, he slapped the dragon case furiously, and cursed like a shrew.

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down, your dragon body is important, Your Majesty..."

Seeing that Emperor Chengde was so furious, as a servant of the sect, Lang Erheng couldn't stand still, so he knelt down on the ground in a hurry, kowtowed and begged bitterly.

"Your Majesty, I think that this disturbance will benefit the overall situation. If it can be deployed properly, Prince Ren may be caught off guard."

At the time when Emperor Chengde was furious, Li Minquan also did not dare to stand still, but, he did not say some unnutritious words of forgiveness like Lang Erheng, but remonstrated with a solemn expression.

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Hearing what Li Minquan said, Emperor Chengde's anger should have subsided a lot, but after seeing him breathe out a few breaths, the ferocious look on his face has eased a lot, and the tone of the question is full of surprise Indeterminate means.

"Your Majesty clearly learned that Prince Ren's actions are so tough and contrary to the principles of loyalty and filial piety. In a few days, it will spread throughout the government and the public. If he makes good use of it, his reputation will undoubtedly be greatly damaged. When the government and the public are discussing it, Your Majesty may wish to take advantage of the situation to issue an edict to seal all elder brothers, and use the missions of various ministries to promise them. Under the desperation of Prince Ren, it will be difficult to forcefully obstruct things. Once the missions of various ministries are established, the chaotic situation of the court will become. You can deploy it calmly, and given time, it will not be difficult to reverse the overturning of the overall situation, this humble minister's humble opinion, I also ask Your Majesty to order it."

Li Minquan was born with a sinister temperament. When he was in Chengde Emperor Longqian in the past, most of the strategies he offered were deceitful ways. After some calculations, it can be said that it is extremely sinister and vicious, and it is really omnipotent.

"Well, okay, I will handle this matter. I don't care about the process, only the result."

Emperor Chengde himself was not a good bird, so he would not think that there was anything wrong with Li Minquan's low-handed tactics. He didn't care if there would be troubles in the imperial court, but only cared about whether he could stabilize the crumbling emperor's throne under his buttocks. No, after hesitating for a few seconds, he agreed to Li Minquan's proposal very crisply.

"Yes, I obey the order!"

Seeing that Emperor Chengde adopted his own suggestion, Li Minquan immediately felt complacent. After more than a year of hard work, Li Minquan finally managed to squeeze away Fang Bao and other military ministers. , has faintly become the most trusted confidant of Emperor Chengde, and the sense of accomplishment in his heart is undeniably strong, and the answering voice inevitably carries a sense of complacency...

Rumors have no legs, but they are the fastest running thing in the world. No, it was just a day's work. Under the secret push of someone with a heart, Hongqing in the Hall of Mental Cultivation blatantly refuted the will of Emperor Chengde. It has already spread all over the capital, and it is inevitable that the government and the public will be shocked by it. Various versions of the rumors are rampant, and many acid scholars who claim to be defenders publicly condemn Hongqing's ignorant monarch. At the same time, there are also many People with little knowledge of the general situation lashed out at Emperor Chengde's incompetence, especially among the disciples of the Eight Banners, there were not a few who favored the Zen position of Emperor Chengde, and there was no other. Those who served in the new army naturally hoped that Hong Qing would replace Emperor Chengde, and because there was little reconciliation between the two mainstream opinions, debates and even fights caused by this were not uncommon.

Rumors have no teeth, but they can eat people without spitting out their bones. If anyone is involved in it, if he responds a little improperly, he will either be ruined or die. As long as he is a politician, it is impossible for him to understand this truth In the face of such a sudden storm of public opinion, all the ministers close to Hongqing in the DPRK were sweating coldly for Hongqing. You must know that this is a matter of the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and it is really not easy to compare. This turmoil will continue, regardless of the other consequences, Hongqing's good reputation will probably be stigmatized, and this is definitely the worst taboo for politicians.

The situation is undoubtedly grim, at least in Chao Wenwu's view, but Hongqing did not panic because of this, not only did not come forward to refute the rumors, but also did not ask the subordinates to come forward to fight back, just kept silent indifferently , What should I do, what should I still do, every day in the Summer Palace arranging various matters related to military and political reforms, just like people who have nothing to do, is it true that I have never heard the rumors?Obviously not, in fact, as early as when the rumors had just started to spread, Hongqing had already received accurate information from Xiaochuanzi Hutong. bother.

It is not unreasonable for Hong Qing to be so calm. First of all, although such rumors are powerful, they are for people with weak hearts, but for Yu Hong Qing, they are useless at all. It's enough to coerce the emperor to make the princes way, and I don't care what others are talking about. Besides, the more you want to argue about these rumors, the more you will sink in. If you are really entangled in such bad things I am afraid that the matter of military reform will be postponed. Instead of trying to fight the fire, it is better to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. As for the rumors, no matter how much they spread, they are just a gust of wind That's all, it seems menacing, if you don't pay attention to it, it will not be long before it will be replaced by a new topic. Regarding this, Hong Qing, who has experienced the information age in her previous life, knows it very well, so she won't lose her sense of control because of it , but to be honest, none of the above reasons are the root cause. There is only one thing that really keeps Hong Qing on hold, and that is to wait for Emperor Chengde's backhand to surface!

That's right, rumors are very lethal, but this level of lethality is a double-edged sword. It seems that Hongqing's reputation will certainly be damaged under the current situation where the government and the public are spreading rumors, but the image of Emperor Chengde is also the same. It must also be damaged - no matter what opinion you hold, I am afraid that Emperor Chengde will not think that Emperor Chengde is some kind of wise emperor. This is obviously not something that is easy to bear for Emperor Chengde who has always had a good face, and he just After doing this, there is no doubt that his plan will be huge, and this is what Hong Qing really needs to be on guard against!
The news came out soon. On the third day when the rumors started, Emperor Chengde suddenly issued several edicts, first sealing the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth princes as county kings, and then Then, an edict was issued to order the second elder brother to be in charge of the Ministry of Industry, with Prince Yong's son and Dorobeile Hongli as his deputy; the third elder brother in charge of the household department, the fourth elder brother in charge of the punishment department, and the fifth and sixth elder brothers to go to the Ministry of War as assistants.

"Bastard! Go, pass on the king's order, and the Fengtai camp is fully mobilized and ready for battle!"

So many edicts were almost all issued in one go. It was because they had never had a court meeting, or even vented to Zhang Tingyu and other military ministers. Forget it, the second elder brother and Hongli were sent to the Ministry of Industry, all for the purpose of Hongqing. What they want to dig is the foundation of Hongqing——Hongqing has presided over many departments over the years. Officials, soldiers, and criminals have basically stayed there, but if we really want to talk about the base, there is only the Ministry of Industry, and the only thing that Hongqing really pays attention to is the Ministry of Industry, probably because it is the economic take-off of the Qing Dynasty and the popularization of culture in the future. Because of this, when Emperor Chengde actually sent the second elder brother and Hongli to the Ministry of Industry, Hongqing was furious, and she never completely gave up the power of force. Immediately, the solution surged uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart again, but when he saw that he slapped the copy angrily, he roared ferociously, his voice was like thunder, and his murderous aura suddenly became louder...
