Chapter 1704: Hongshi returns to Beijing
After he left, Yingge also wrote a book to several Zhejiang officials who were related to him, but not to ask them to assist Hongtian in tracking down the people's troubles, but to ask them to be careful of Hongsun and not to talk nonsense in front of him, especially about the implementation of the new policy and the people's troubles, as perfunctory as possible; If you really can't push it, just grab a few people and give him an errand.
Hongli guessed correctly, Zhejiang's new policy was difficult to implement, the rich temporarily repented, and the people provoked trouble, all of which were instructed by Yingge, and he was the black hand behind the scenes.
In order to raise Hongshi to the same height as Hongli, he was forced to get those wealthy families in Henan to cooperate with Hongshi to implement the new policy, and cut a lot of silver at once. But he was not reconciled in his heart, after all, it was white silver, and anyone would feel distressed.
If it goes well in Zhejiang, the new policy will be implemented throughout the country, and his losses will be even more serious than now, even so heavy that he can't accept it, so after some thought, he decided to start in Zhejiang.
What Yinzhen said before is that the two places have successfully implemented the new policy, so that the whole country will be implemented, if Zhejiang fails, there will be no reason to implement it, even if Yinzhen wants to forcibly implement it, hundreds of officials will oppose it; And the more Zhejiang fails, the more Hongshi's exploits are highlighted, and Yinzhen attaches more importance to this son.
It was precisely because of these two reasons that he ordered several officials in Zhejiang and the wealthy people associated with them to join forces to secretly sabotage the new policy and gather people to make trouble, so that Li Wei would be exhausted and unable to make deliveries.
Originally, this matter went very smoothly, but I didn't expect Hongtian to be sent to Zhejiang, but it wasn't a big deal, and I couldn't find out anything at all, it was just an empty trip.
However, this also reminded Inge that the matter in Zhejiang has attracted the attention of Hongli, and it is not appropriate to continue to make trouble, otherwise it will be difficult for things to end.
At the beginning of February, half a month after Hongzhi went to Zhejiang, Hongshi returned to Beijing, in order to reward his achievements in Henan, Yinzhen ordered Xiaowu to wait in the suburbs with the will of Jin Feng as the prince and the prince's clothes, and waited with many officials, all to welcome Hongshi's return to Beijing.
Anyone knows that outside of Hongshi's return to Beijing this time, he will definitely be reused by Yinzhen, sweep away the downfall of Yongzheng in the fifth year, and may even become a candidate for the prince, in this kind of thinking, how could they not rush over to stammer!
Hongli is also among these officials, but his mood is far more complicated than these officials, when Hongshi was addicted to Flower Street Willow Lane, everyone thought that Hongshi's life was over, especially after the murder, even if it was proved that Hongshi did not kill anyone, it was over, because Yinzhen was so disappointed in him that he didn't want to see him again, even if he was still in the name of the prince, at best he could only be a prince who was not neglected.
In this case, Hongshi took the initiative to ask to go to Henan, and in less than a year, he overcame many difficulties to make the new policy smoothly implemented.
It is said that the priest should be impressed for three days; These words were used on Hongshi, but it was not enough, and this second brother really gave him a big "surprise".
"It's coming! Second brother is here!" I don't know who said a word, everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, they saw a group of people coming from a distance, and it was Hongshi who rode on the horse first.
"Quick, go and greet you!" It was Tobe Shangshu who spoke, he was from Yingge's side, and he was very happy when Hongshi was in power.
Hearing his words, all the officials nodded one after another, and then walked forward, and when they got closer, they arched their hands and said, "Welcome the second brother back to Beijing!"
Seeing this, Hongshi hurriedly jumped off the horse, helped the first few adults, and said, "You adults don't need to be polite, you welcome each other like this, Hongshi really can't stand it." ”
"The second elder brother has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, and it is the right thing for us to greet each other, how can we not afford it!" Tobe Shangshu said with a smile on his face.
"Hongshi went to Henan on the order of Emperor Ama, and the implementation of the new policy is a matter of duty, how dare you talk about the word merit, you say this, it is really a shame for Hongshi."
Hongshi's humble attitude, really surprised the ministers, when he was in the capital before, Hongshi said that he was not rude, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the word humility.
After exchanging a few words with the ministers and Yingge, Hongshi's eyes swept around the back, as if he was looking for someone, and when he saw Hongli, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he walked over and said, "Fourth brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Hongli looked at Hongshi who had come closer, nearly a year was not enough to leave traces of the years, but he could still find some changes in some subtle places.
When Hongli looked at him, Hongshi was also looking at Hongli, and for most of the year, he didn't forget the face in front of him for a moment. It was the existence of Hongli that made him disliked by Huang Ama; It was also the existence of Hongli that took away what should have belonged to him, and after the worst time, he actually killed Xiangrong and wanted to blame him, Hongli, a despicable and shameless villain...... It shouldn't have been in this world at all!
He worked so hard in Henan, but he kept gritting his teeth and insisting, in order to take back everything that belonged to him from Hongli, and then let Hongli disappear from this world, and he couldn't even save a trace of ashes.
At this moment, Hongshi's heart was full of hatred, but it did grow a lot compared to before, even if he was full of resentment, his face remained calm, and even his eyes did not change, seeing that Hongli did not speak, he smiled: "Why don't you speak, is it possible that you don't want me to go back to Beijing?" ”
Hongli's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "What is the second brother talking about, I can't be happy when you come back, I just felt a little emotional, so I don't know how to answer." In the past half a year, the second brother has worked hard, but the second brother's hard work has not been in vain, now in Henan, but the province has implemented a new policy, and Huang Ama praised the second brother. ”
"Even you make fun of the second brother." Saying this, Hongshi said: "Why don't you see the fifth child?" ”
Hongli lowered his eyes and said: "A few days ago, there was a mess in Zhejiang, and the fifth child went to Zhejiang on the order of Emperor Ama, and he will not come back until at least one or two months later." ”
"I see." When Hongshi nodded, Xiao Wu came over with a smile and said, "The slave greets the second elder brother, and the second elder brother is auspicious." ”
"The five fathers are exempt." Hongshi's gaze swept over the bright yellow scroll that Xiao Wu held in his hand, and said with a little surprise: "Huang Ama has a will for me?" ”
Xiao Wu nodded with a smile and said, "Exactly, please ask the second elder brother to kneel down and accept the order." ”
