Chapter 840
On April [-]th of the first year of Chengde, the third elder brother Hongxi, the fifth elder brother Hongxian, and the seventh elder brother Hongyi jointly signed the book, requesting a thorough investigation into the fraud case of Ding Xufeng in Xin Chou Ke, and asked the third elder brother Hongxi to act The presiding judge; on the afternoon of the same day, the second elder brother Hongsheng and Prince Yong's son Hongli also jointly signed this chapter, and they also asked themselves to thoroughly investigate the case. As soon as this two chapters were published, the government and the public were suddenly in an uproar. There was support, and there was a lot of turmoil for a while. Emperor Chengde didn't express his position on this matter, but those who asked questions were all concerned about other matters. Once such an attitude came out, the chaos between the government and the opposition suddenly became more lively a bit.

Three full days have passed, and the heated discussions about the Xin Chouke fraud case have not only subsided, on the contrary, they have become even hotter. Not only people in the officialdom are discussing it, but there are also countless versions circulating among the people, and even more Shao Enke's failed actions were mixed in, and he continued to write articles to the "Jingshi Times", calling for an early and thorough investigation of the case. Early in the morning, Hong Qing was announced into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"My son kowtowed to Huang Ama."

Hong Qing has never entered the palace to pay her respects these days, and every day, she rushed to Fengtai Camp early in the morning, because she did not want to meet Emperor Chengde too early. The reason why the emperor did not make a decision on the Xin Chouke fraud case was that he was waiting for him, Hong Qing, to ask himself, but this was not the fundamental intention of Hong Qing to throw out the case at such a sensitive time. It is impossible to follow the wishes of Emperor Chengde, but once Emperor Chengde is summoned, Haoqing still dare not resist the order. Once he got the order, he immediately drove to the imperial city in a carriage and handed over the request. After seeing the sign, he was accompanied by Li Dequan into the palace gate, and rushed all the way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. When he got the land, he saw Emperor Chengde sitting on the head, and there were no ministers on the left and right, so it was clear It was a gesture of wanting to talk to Hong Qing in private, although Hong Qing was well aware of this, but she never showed the slightest strangeness, and just followed the court rules with great respect and respect and kept paying respects.

"Forget it, just be flat."

Emperor Chengde obviously wasn't having a very comfortable life these past few days. Although his face was calm as before, the color of his eye circles was obviously darker than before, and there was a hint of exhaustion in his voice.

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

Since Emperor Chengde shouted, regardless of what Hongqing felt in his heart, Xie En was the meaning in the title, but there was nothing to say.

"Have you been busy these few days, Qing'er? I see that you have lost a lot of weight. It's really hard for you."

Looking at Hongqing standing respectfully in the palace, Emperor Chengde felt mixed feelings in his heart. He was grateful for the 20 years of mutual support between father and son, and was annoyed at Hongqing's refusal to obey orders. The dread of possessing the strength, except for the lack of remorse——Emperor Chengde never thought that he had done anything wrong, and if there was anything wrong, it should be Hongqing's fault. Because of this, Emperor Chengde As soon as he opened his mouth, there were sour beating words.

"It's a real honor for me to be able to do business for Huang Ama, and I should be diligent and diligent in order to repay Huang Ama's trustworthy kindness."

Hearing Emperor Chengde's words were full of resentment inside and out, Hong Qing immediately sneered in her heart, but she didn't retort, she just made a submissive appearance and replied solemnly.

"Hmm... I've always known Qing'er's loyalty, so you just do it with your heart, and I won't lose you."

As soon as Hong Qing said such neither soft nor hard words, even though Emperor Chengde was choked, although the anger in his heart surged wildly, it was hard to let it out. In desperation, he could only grow out of it. He spoke loudly, forced himself to suppress the irritability in his heart, and comforted Hong Qing with kind words.

"Thank you, Empress Ama, for your kindness. My sons and servants should do their duty faithfully, and dare not to disobey the entrustment of Empress Ama."

Regardless of whether Emperor Chengde spoke sarcastically or treated each other with gentleness, Hong Qing was always submissive and courteous, making it impossible to pick out any flaws.

"Well, I can trust Qing'er's words, but I can't bear to make you overworked, this is good, I will transfer Heda back, um, I will be an admiral in Fengtai Camp, and help you get well The army is ready, what do you think of Qing'er?"

Seeing that Hongqing was always submissive, Emperor Chengde's anger eased a bit, but he didn't intend to give up the established plan of mixing sand, so he pretended to be concerned and proposed a sentence: .

"Huang Ama Shengming, I think that General He is a veteran in military affairs, and with his help, I can sneak back a little bit of leisure."

The matter of transferring Heda back to the capital had long been expected by Hong Qing, and she had already arranged a countermeasure to deal with it. Of course, Hong Qing would not object to Emperor Chengde's proposal.

"Well, good, Qing'er can think so, I am very relieved, and later I made a decree that Heda will return to Beijing immediately, and I will be the admiral of Fengtai Camp, and add the title of Minister of the Ministry of War."

Although Emperor Chengde was determined to transfer Heda back to the capital, he still couldn't help worrying that Hongqing would object. He had originally prepared a whole set of arguments, intending to have a fight with Hongqing, but he never thought that Hongqing would actually agree. Emperor Chengde was stunned for a moment, and then became excited. After thinking about it, he simply raised Heda to another level, and put on a stance to restrain Hong Qing, to test whether Hong Qing's promise was sincere. .

"Huang Ama Shengming, General He has made great contributions to calming down the Northwest so quickly. He deserves to be rewarded. Adding the title of Minister of the Ministry of War is indeed appropriate."

After nearly 20 years of getting along with the father and son, Hong Qing has already figured out Emperor Chengde's character and behavior, so how could he not see such a clumsy temptation by Emperor Chengde? He praised sincerely.

"Well, this matter is settled. Although Heda is good at military affairs, there are still some shortcomings in the creation of the new army. You and the old thirteen should help him more, so that he can help him earlier. Familiar with the strategy and tactics of the new army, is it possible for you to do it?"

Emperor Chengde is a man who pushes forward every inch of the way, no, seeing Hongqing being so obedient, he immediately climbed up the pole. Earlier he said that Heda would help Hongqing, but this time he turned around and became Hongqing and the old man. Thirteen must go to help Heda, and he really brought his shamelessness and cheekiness to the extreme.

"Her Majesty, don't worry, my son and minister will obey the order, and there will be no mistakes."

Although she was disgusted by Emperor Chengde's despicable handwriting, Hong Qing did not show it, but expressed her position with a sincere face.

"Well, that's very good. Let's end this matter. I'm calling you today, not just because of Heda, but I want to hear your opinion on the Xin Chouke fraud case. Come on, I Listen."

The source of Emperor Chengde's unhappiness in the past few days is not Heda's transfer, but the scandalous imperial examination case that has caused a lot of noise. Hong Qing stirred up the matter, and without Hong Qing's cooperation, no one would be able to suppress the case. No matter who handles the case, it will become more and more chaotic. Emperor Chengde is still very clear about this. Yes, and because of this, Emperor Chengde refused to say anything about it, even if there was a commotion outside to ask the second elder brother and the third elder brother to go to trial, but when he was so silent, the public opinion outside became even more clamor Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Emperor Chengde couldn't help but feel the pressure. The reason why Hong Qing was summoned today was really a helpless move.

"Imperial Ama learned that my son has been busy with military affairs these days, and has never been concerned about this case, so I dare not speak falsely."

When it came to the imperial examination fraud case, Hong Qing was not so obedient, and immediately played a beautiful Tai Chi push hand, and the answer was very sincere, but it was all nonsense.

"It doesn't matter, I just say, no matter right or wrong, I will be tolerant."

Seeing Hongqing's behavior, Emperor Chengde's anger, which had just calmed down, suddenly surged up again. I really wanted to scold Hongqing for a good life, but I just wanted to think about it, but I couldn't do it like this. , nothing else, the current court situation still requires Hongqing to resist the ambitious fourth and eighth masters. If the father and son completely fall out, it will only be the relatives who hurt the enemies, such a realization , Emperor Chengde is still not lacking, and because of this, even though he was extremely upset, Emperor Chengde waved his hand in a heroic manner, and gave Hongqing a "gold medal for avoiding death" grandly.

"My son thanked Emperor Ama for his kindness. However, I really don't know anything about this matter, and I really can't talk about it."

Rao Chengde Emperor's heroic performance was extremely good, but Hong Qing didn't follow that at all, she just knelt down and thanked Xie En, but she still pushed and pretended to be confused. On the other hand, this is a game of balance between father and son, the prelude has just begun, how could Hong Qing just let this big game end so quickly.

"Well... well, I won't force you, but now your second and third younger brothers are asking for a trial of this case, what do you think about this?"

Seeing that Hongqing made it clear that she was unwilling to speak up, Emperor Chengde was extremely annoyed, but he had no choice but to change the topic and test Hongqing's situation from another angle. Where is the limit.

"Imperial Ama Mingjian, I heard that the third younger brother has frequently been in and out of the Eighth Uncle's house recently. Maybe I am suspicious, but the third younger brother is too ignorant to avoid suspicion. After all, there is something wrong with melon fields and plums."

Hong Qing did not answer Emperor Chengde's question directly, but pointed out who the person behind the third elder brother was. To preside over the case.

"I know, let's go and get busy."

Emperor Chengde had also heard about the matter of the third elder brother hooking up with the eighth master, but he didn't pay much attention to it earlier, so he didn't pay attention to it. She shrank, but she didn't comment on Hong Qing's words, she just let out an indifferent voice, and immediately gave the order to chase away the guests.

"Yes, my son is leaving!"

Since Emperor Chengde said so, Hong Qing didn't bother to say any more, the left and right games had already been laid out, as long as Hong Qing was not the one who tried the case, it would definitely not be so easy to close the chess game. More, the more chaotic the chess game, the more difficult it will be for Emperor Chengde to completely control the chess game, and this, for Yu Hongqing, is enough...
