Kowloon wins

Chapter 1105 Rectification Movement ([-])

"Your brother kowtows to His Majesty!"

Not long after Li Dequan left, Hong Sheng arrived. When he saw Hong Qing who was sitting high above him, his face turned pale instantly, and a few traces of panic flashed in his eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly rushed to the front of the imperial court, and in a hurry, he couldn't stop paying homage with a big gift.

"Finally, why are you so anxious to see me, huh?"

Even though she had given up on the idea of ​​using Hongsheng to do the trick, Hong Qing didn't intend to let Hongsheng pass the test so easily, without even screaming, and just let Hongsheng kneel there for a while After a long silence, he asked a question in a slightly cold voice.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my younger brother, my younger brother, came here to plead guilty. My younger brother is not strict in his rule and discipline, so that there are such evil thieves as Cheng Quan under his door. I really didn't instruct him to act recklessly, Your Majesty, I was deceived by others, if you don't believe me, I swear to God, this matter really has nothing to do with me..."

As soon as Hong Qing's tone was so unfriendly, Hong Sheng's flustered heart suddenly became even more flustered, and he cried out his innocence with an extremely pale complexion.

"Since it has nothing to do with you, why didn't you report to me earlier, eh?"

Rao Hongsheng was already howling again and again, but Hongqing was not moved at all, and before he finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked in a cold voice.

"Chendi, Chendi..., to tell you the truth, I am afraid. Then Cheng Quan is a servant of my servant. This is the melon field. I really can't tell how many mouths I have, but this is really not the case. My brother's proposition, I didn't know that this guy would be so mad, if I knew this, I didn't need your Majesty to do anything, I would have killed that bastard with a single knife, alas, since the incident in Taiyuan, I would have eaten it I can't eat, I can't sleep well, I worry about my thoughts every day, I really can't make it through this day, I have no choice but to ask the Queen Mother, everything is wrong with my younger brother, I beg your majesty to allow my younger brother to resign from the Central Committee As a job in the bank, if I can become a rich man, my wish is enough."

Facing Hong Qing's cold voice, Hong Sheng's body couldn't help trembling, and after a few murmurs, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, but honestly expressed his worries and begged the Queen Mother. The thing is said.

"It's good to know that you are afraid, and I don't want to offend you. If you want to resign, I have no reason to refuse. However, in the end, you have to wait for the case to be heard before deciding, so I will go back first."

Hongqiu never regarded such an ignorant younger brother as Hongsheng in his eyes, and he really never regarded him as an opponent, nothing else, this guy is not a material for playing politics at all, the reason why he wanted to use him earlier The purpose of doing this is not the person himself, but to take the opportunity to clean the central bank. Now, with the order of the queen mother, Hongqing is too lazy to punish Hongsheng, but he has not given him a letter of approval. With a perfunctory sentence, he immediately issued an order to chase away the guests.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, and my younger brother will leave."

As soon as Hong asked such a perfunctory remark, Hong Sheng's face couldn't help showing pain, but he didn't dare to say any more, so he could only leave in resentment...

On the second day of April in the second year of Renhe, all those involved in the Industrial and Commercial Bank case were escorted to the capital. The emperor ordered the left inspector Yushi Tao Yi and the Minister of Criminal Affairs Haitao to be the chief and deputy presiding judges. After this edict, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, and everyone's attention was focused on such a big case.

On the ninth day of April in the second year of Renhe, Tao Yi and Haitao jointly wrote this chapter, claiming that the case had been preliminarily found out, and that the cause was that Zhong Chengquan, the inspector of the Central Bank, failed to extort bribes from Kang Yuancheng, the son of the president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. He acted recklessly, blinded by profit, so that he actually committed the evil deeds of Qiao Zhaofeng. The cause of his death was homicide, probably because he thought he was a noble person, so he insulted the prisoner wantonly in the prison, which provoked the prisoner to draw his sword angrily and fight back with all his strength. Excessive, so that he was beheaded on the spot, and the prisoner committed suicide in fear of crime.

After receiving the memorabilia of Tao and Hai, Hong Qing was furious, and issued an order to copy Cheng Quan's house. All the officials who went to Taiyuan in Quanzhou were punished as being attached to the crime of treason. For the time being, Dorobe Lehong will be in charge of it.

On April 28th of the second year of Renhe, Zhang Tingyu, the Minister of Military Affairs, published this chapter during the Great Dynasty, saying that the morals of the various departments of the court were not correct, so that the Taiyuan case happened. The reoccurrence of similar incidents, and [-] new regulations for the assessment of the Ministry of Officials, the emperor deeply believed that, and all the ministers and workers discussed it in court. Although the unprepared ministers and workers inevitably resisted the rectification, But firstly, seeing Hongqing's attitude towards this matter is very clear, secondly, it is difficult to come up with a good way to resist this matter in a hurry, since no one dared to raise any objections during the court meeting, this time The matter became a conclusion.

On April [-]th of the second year of Renhe, when the officials were still worried that the rectification movement would cause great waves, Hongqing suddenly issued a Daoming edict, saying that he would take a special train to Jiao'ao (now Qingdao) ) inspected, took the eldest son of the emperor, Yongfeng, and the third son of the emperor, Yongming, to accompany him, and left the second son of the emperor, Yonglong, to supervise the country in Beijing. Among the military ministers, Fang Bao and Lang Erheng accompanied, and the rest stayed in Beijing.

Hong Qing was very straightforward, leaving as soon as he said, and after the edict was issued, he led a large group of entourage and boarded the special train bound for Qingdao the next day, but the journey was not fast. Almost all the counties stopped, not only met with the officials of the counties and prefectures along the way, but also many people from all over the country who came to greet them were able to get close to the sky, and they also stayed in the counties and prefectures to inspect the customs. It took more than half a month to complete the journey that can be completed in more than one day, and they have not yet arrived in Jiao'ao.

Hong Qing walked in style, but the capital was full of excitement. Nothing else, under the auspices of Zhang Tingyu, the Minister of Military Affairs and Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Officials strictly followed Article 28 of the Rectification Movement and began to deal with many yamen in the capital. Under the wind and thunder, everyone in the yamen is in danger. In the past few days, countless people have been recorded. Although no punishment has been seen yet, who dares to ignore it, and there are many complaints. It was unavoidable. In the beginning, some people handed in complaints to Hongqing to sue the officials, but after Hongqing ordered them to scold them, no one dared to bring their complaints to Hongqing again. It's just that the panic and resentment will not be reduced because of this, but it will increase sharply with the continuous deepening of the rectification movement. Perhaps, as long as there is a small spark, the entire powder keg may be ignited. The problem is Who dares to light such a fire?
If Hongqing was only in Jiao'ao, no one would dare to act rashly, no one else, since the railway is open, Hongqing can rush back to the capital in only one day, whoever dares to mess around will definitely be asking for a dead end, but Hongqing After inspecting Jiao'ao for a few days, Qing seems to have become more adventurous, and passed on a decree to return to Beijing, saying that he would go to Jinling on a naval warship, so that the princes and princes of the court and the central government could settle down to their duties. Major matters can be resolved by the Military Aircraft Department and reported to Yonglong for disposal.

On May [-]th of the second year of Renhe, the emperor arrived in Jinling on board the "Weifeng" warship, escorted by more than a dozen warships from the second squadron of the Bohai Fleet. Yang Mingshi, the governor of Liangjiang, led many officials and tens of thousands of people on the ground Greeted at Xiaguan Wharf, the emperor led the imperial concubine Cao Shuang'er and his two sons Yongfeng and Yongming to stay at the Cao family in Jiangning Weaving Mansion. As soon as the news came back to the capital, an undercurrent of opposition to the rectification movement began to surge.

"Sir, it's already outraged by the officials to act so recklessly. If there is no change, I'm afraid the society will be in chaos. I don't know what you can teach me, sir?"

Even though Hongqing has left Beijing, Siye's life is still not easy, nothing else, the official department is keeping a close eye on the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Central Bank, not only that, but all the courtiers who are attached to Siye Within the scope of the strict inspection by the Ministry of Officials, almost no one escaped after more than a month. A few were recorded once or twice, but many were recorded five or six times. After the relevant punishments came down, the momentum was obviously not good. When Hongqing was in Jiaoao earlier, the fourth master had a lot of scruples in his heart. Although he was not willing to go dormant, he did not dare to act rashly. I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Beijing at this time, so fourth master naturally thought of making troubles in Beijing.

"Heh, Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Peigong. The official department's assessment is naturally aimed at you, the fourth master. However, according to Wu, this trap is a trap, and the fourth master is waiting for you to jump out by yourself. look for a job."

For more than a month, Wu Sidao has already seen the worried look of the fourth master, and he has already seen the seriousness of the problem. However, if the fourth master does not ask, Wu Sidao is not in a hurry to offer advice. Now, the fourth master Since the master asked, Wu Sidao didn't make too much of it, and pointed out the strangeness with a smile.

"Well... Xiao Wang didn't know this, but the situation forced him to listen."

In fact, the fourth master has already seen the true meaning of this rectification movement, and also vaguely sensed that there may be an ambush inside, so he never dared to act rashly, but as time went by, the grievances of the subordinate officials became more and more serious , Fourth Master couldn't hold on any longer, so he thought of fighting back.

"Don't worry, my lord. This matter cannot continue like this. However, even if it is time to take action, it should not be initiated by the lord. Wu has a plan, which may solve this problem. When..."

Wu Sidao had already planned in his mind, and now that he said it would come out, he was very confident.

"Well, okay, then it's settled!"

The fourth master quietly listened to Wu Sidao's proposal, his eyes flickered for a moment of contemplation, and he had already made the final decision...
