Chapter 997

"The last general is incompetent, he missed the prince's important event, and he deserves to die!"

In terms of talent, Geng Sanbiao can only barely rank among the middle class in Prince Ren's family, but when it comes to calmness of mind, he is definitely one of the best, even if Mount Tai collapses before him, he will definitely not His face changed, but only being swept away by Hong Qing's slightly cold eyes, Geng Sanbiao's complexion suddenly turned pale, and he fell to his knees on the ground in great shame.

"Go and find out who is standing behind Geng Rong."

Ever since she came out of the imperial city, Hong Qing's face has always been flat, without the slightest ups and downs, even if she witnessed the tragic scene of death and injury in the prison, she never saw Hong Qing frowning, but at this moment Well, facing Geng Sanbiao's great gift, Hong Qing's eyes turned sharp, and after staring at Geng Sanbiao sharply like a knife for a long time, he gave a command in a cold voice.

"Yes, the last will obey!"

Although Hong Qing never yelled loudly, and the words of the instructions were very concise, but Geng Sanbiao was stunned, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he didn't even dare to raise his head a little, and fell down respectfully. On the ground, the voice trembled as promised.

"Let's get ready, let's let it go outside after the work here is over."

For others, the position of admiral of the Nine Gates is extremely important, but for Hong Qing, who holds hundreds of thousands of troops, such a position is just a dispensable taste. In the position of Admiral of the Gate, it is impossible to control all the infantry commanding the army of the Yamen. The reason is very simple. The troops are stationed in the imperial city, and all the officers and soldiers recruited are from the capital banner. If all forces want to infiltrate it, It's not a difficult task, even if Hong Qing herself goes to serve as the admiral of the Nine Gates, there is no way to put an end to such a headache, let alone Geng Sanbiao, who is slightly incompetent, rather than letting him wait here Being criticized repeatedly in a sensitive position, it would be better to take a step back. It was out of the idea of ​​protecting Geng Sanbiao that Hong Qing made the final decision without hesitation.

"Yes, at the end will obey."

Hearing Hong Qing's handling, Geng Sanbiao secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help feeling a little more ashamed in his heart. If nothing else, the person who broke the big deal would be his own nephew, Geng Sanbiao. , is still in such an extremely important position as the captain of the personal guard, and if another person handles it, no matter how lenient he is, he will inevitably doubt whether Geng Sanbiao himself is involved in it, let alone release it. He, Geng Sanbiao, was treated lightly even if he was cured to death.

"Well, hurry up on the case..."

Although Geng Sanbiao is no longer of much use to Hong Qing now, he is a loyal subordinate for many years after all, so he cannot be treated lightly, even if he has decided to release him outside, he must be appeased Last time, Hong Qing certainly did not lack such means, but before he could finish speaking, he saw Ding Song strode into the room, and Hong Qing immediately stopped what he had not said. Frowning slightly, he glanced at Ding Song.

"My lord, Mr. Zhang and Eunuch Li are here, and they say they have a decree to announce."

Seeing Hongqing's unfriendly expression, Ding Song didn't dare to be careless, he hurriedly walked a few steps, got close to him, bowed his body, and hastily reported in a low voice.

"Well, then get ready to accept the order."

Emperor Chengde would definitely come with a decree, this point, Hong Qing had already known it, but when he heard that Zhang Tingyu had also followed, the originally slightly frowning brows were even more frowning. However, he didn't say much, he just waved his hand calmly and ordered calmly.

"twitter!"

Since Hong Qing had explained so, Ding Song didn't dare to be negligent, and hastily agreed, and left the study in a hurry, and went to arrange related matters without mentioning it.

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: I was shocked to hear that the yamen prison led by the infantry was attacked. I am very worried. I ask Prince Ren Hongqing and Minister of Military Aircraft Zhang Tingyu to investigate the case thoroughly. We must find out the real culprits, so as to set the court's guidelines, hereby!"

Outside the yamen of the nine admirals, Li Dequan stood behind the incense-smelling copywriting, holding the Ming and Huang imperial edicts, declaring the will of Emperor Chengde in a strict manner.

"The ministers and others take the decree to thank you, my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

The edict is very short, only a few sentences, once it is announced, thank you is the meaning in the title, but there is not much to say.

"My lord, now that the edict is issued, where do you think the case should be investigated?"

After handing over the imperial edict, Li Dequan left immediately, and did not give everyone a chance to stay and be courteous, but Zhang Tingyu did not have such a good life. He knew that the case was complicated, and if he was not careful, it would be a catastrophe. Misfortune, but the emperor's life was in his hands, even if Zhang Tingyu didn't want to, he didn't dare to ignore it. After everyone turned back to the Houya study room, as soon as Bu sat down, he hurriedly asked for instructions.

"To tell the truth, Mr. Zhang, Xiao Wang went to Yanqing Prefecture two days ago. When he was not careful, he caught a cold and now his head hurts. I am afraid that he has intentions but is powerless in this case. I will ask Mr. Zhang to worry a lot. If there is a shortage of manpower, just use the imperial edict to transfer people to the various ministries, if the little Wang is not able to support him, he will go ahead, Haihan, Haihan."

Hong Qing was very shrewd, she had already guessed the reason why Emperor Chengde sent Zhang Tingyu here, it was nothing more than valuing Zhang Tingyu's security, in order to make this case a trivial matter, Hong Qing was very upset about this She was also happy to accept it, but after being tricked by someone, Hong Qing didn't intend to let Emperor Chengde pass the test so easily, so she casually put the imperial edict on the copy, talking nonsense After a few words, he left.

"This……"

Before Zhang Tingyu came to the Jiumen Admiral's Yamen, Emperor Chengde had a private conversation with him. Although he didn't speak too clearly, the meaning was expressed very clearly. The influence of the case should be controlled within an acceptable range, and it would be good if the case can be ignored. While Zhang Tingyu understood this, she couldn't help but feel deeply troubled, and worried that Hong Qing would take advantage of this case. After making a fuss, it never occurred to Hong Qing to play a game of throwing away the big shopkeeper, which made Zhang Tingyu stunned on the spot, and when she recovered, Hong Qing had already disappeared.

"Master Zhang, the prison is currently under investigation, look..."

Since Hong Qing left, Zhang Tingyu should naturally be in charge of the case, and Geng Sanbiao dared not neglect to go, so he hurried forward and asked for instructions very respectfully.

"Well... then let's take a look."

Hong Qing can play with her own temper, but Zhang Tingyu is not so lucky. Although her hair is heavy, she can only forcefully respond, and walks outside the door with a slight frown. At this point, Geng Sanbiao didn't dare to delay a little bit, so he hurriedly followed up cautiously...

"My lord is back."

After leaving the Jiumen Admiral's Yamen, Hong Qing did not go back to the mansion, but went directly to the Changchun Garden outside the city. Just after entering the study room, she saw Old Master Chen sitting in it, and her feet couldn't help but twitch It took a while, before he came back to his senses, Old Master Chen greeted him with a smile.

"The disciple has seen the master."

Although he never saw Old Master Chen go to see Emperor Chengde, Hong Qing knew about it early in the morning, and it was because he knew that he didn't want to go back to his palace. The reason is simple, Hong Qing It has not yet been decided whether to force Emperor Chengde to abdicate, and he is unwilling to listen to Old Master Chen's persuasion, so he will go out of the city directly, but he never expected that Old Master Chen is already waiting inside. Stained with sweat, it was obvious that she had not been here for a long time, and it was clear that she was here to block people. Seeing this, Hong Qing felt helpless in her heart, but she did not dare to lose courtesy, so she could only be He smiled helplessly, walked forward quickly, saluted and greeted him respectfully.

"Is the imperial decree issued?"

Old Master Chen obviously guessed what Hong Qing was thinking, but he didn't say anything, but pointed to the futon opposite the couple, and asked a question with a smile.

"So that the master can know that the edict has been issued, saying that the disciple and Zhang Tingyu will try the case together."

Hong Qing walked up to the couple, lifted the hem of her robe, and sat down opposite to Old Master Chen, and replied with a humble expression.

"Well, Hengchen is a seasoned man who runs the country. With his help, it should not be difficult to deal with this case. The prince can just relax."

Hearing that Emperor Chengde sent Zhang Tingyu there, old master Chen immediately understood Emperor Chengde's intention to calm things down, and old master Chen was very happy to see this, but what he was afraid of was that Hongqing would not let it go, but what, Old Master Chen did not speak out, but raised a few words in a tactful manner.

"Master, I have learned from you that my disciple just complained of illness earlier, and I have entrusted the case to Prime Minister Zhang."

Although what Old Master Chen said was cryptic, Hong Qing's IQ was clear, but what he understood was what he understood. Hong Qing didn't intend to follow Old Master Chen's pace this time, nor did he explain what was going on. Guan Qiao, just responded with a simple sentence.

"That's fine. It's a good move to advance, attack, retreat, or defend. Let's see how Zhang Tingyu will solve the case first, and then it's not too late to make a decision."

Seeing that Hongqing's mind had been made up, Old Master Chen was quite worried, but he didn't say any more to persuade her, and just commented out of necessity.

"So that Master can know that a disciple went to Yanqing Prefecture yesterday, and he really saw the steam locomotive that was announced by the Ministry of Industry. Heh, it can run more than a hundred miles in one hour, but the water is gone , Coal can be sufficient, and it is not difficult to travel thousands of miles a day. With the help of this sharp weapon, the future of our Qing Dynasty can be expected. The disciple's intention has been decided. We should invest in construction as soon as possible, which will not only greatly boost our Qing Dynasty. The economy can even be used by the whole country to mobilize troops, which is of great benefit.”

As soon as Mrs. Chen shut up like this, the atmosphere in the study inevitably became a little dull. Seeing this, Hong Qing felt very helpless, so she could only change the topic with a smile, and talked about it endlessly. Not to mention the benefits of the train, Old Master Chen's attention has been diverted by talking like this...
