Chapter 1037: Take a Step Back (1)
On May 27, the sixth year of Chengde, the Inner Court issued an edict, and Haitao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was appointed as the minister of the Qincha, and rushed to Jinling to assist in the investigation of the case of Liu Chengen, the governor of Jiangsu, who was short in office. ⊙ top novel, .2+3x. The edict, the government and the opposition again and again rioted, there is no other, although there is only a word difference between the thorough investigation and the investigation, but the meaning is very different, the former means that Haitao has the power to take full charge of the Jiangnan case, and the latter, but it is just to assist Hongli to investigate the case, it is just the identity of a deputy Qincha, how can it be possible to mediate the mutual attacks between Hongli and Jinling local officials, there is no doubt that Emperor Chengde's move obviously ignores the results of the court's discussion, and it is clear that he wants to favor Hongli, and he wants to crack down, which is naturally Prince Ren Hongqing.
Emperor Chengde's behavior of ignoring the results of the court discussion has naturally been criticized by many courtiers, not only the courtiers who are close to Hongqing's side have said this thing, but even some neutral courtiers have been unable to see it, there is no other, the seriousness of the court is reflected in the court discussion, and now, Emperor Chengde for his own selfish interests, even the results of the court can be ignored, what is the difference between this and the faint king? However, Hongqing, the main master, did not even express his opposition, nor did he come forward to appease the emotions of the ministers, as if this matter did not exist, as soon as this situation came out, not only the ministers were a little confused, but Emperor Chengde and others also muttered to themselves, and no one could understand what kind of medicine was sold in Hongqing's gourd.
Hongqing does not move, of course, there is Haitao has secretly put into effect, but more is disdainful to move, there is nothing else, as long as the military power is not shaken, the rest of the matters are no matter how chaotic, which is categorically not against the sky, as long as it does not hinder the operation of the Ministry of Industry and military affairs, the rest of the things, Hongqing actually really doesn't care much, besides, Emperor Chengde and others' plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain has gone bankrupt, what kind of chaos will be made in Jiangnan, and Guan Hongqing is very serious, as long as Zhang Miao can firmly control the Fourth Army, The chaos in Jiangnan is at most the chaos in the officialdom, and there will never be a possibility of stirring up a civil uprising, even so, why does Hongqing have to go back to the capital to come forward to be a villain, just let Emperor Chengde himself go to the suspicion.
Speaking of which, Hongqing did not come forward to stop Emperor Chengde's chaotic life, it is already very restrained, if it is really going to make a big fuss, move out of the ancestral family law, enough for Emperor Chengde to drink a pot, if you take the opportunity to force the palace again, even if you let Emperor Chengde Zen, it is not impossible, but considering that Emperor Chengde only has one year to live, Hongqing really does not want to live more right and wrong, just thinking that after Emperor Chengde returns to the sea, it is just a matter of being on the throne, this idea of resting things is undoubtedly good, is it a pity, Emperor Chengde obviously did not appreciate it, no, Haitao had just left Beijing for a few days, but Emperor Chengde suddenly approved Yue Zhongqi's request for Ding Wei, but he neither appointed the new head of the First Group Army, nor summoned Hongqing to discuss the matter, so that the important position of the commander of the First Group Army was vacant, in this regard, Hongqing was on this chapter several times, proposing that the deputy army commander Taning River take over, and Emperor Chengde's reaction was to stay in the middle and not say a word, at the same time, several elder brothers were all moved, Every day, he either went to the Fengtai camp in person, or sent his henchmen to the camp to carry out activities, and wantonly opened the way with gold and silver goods, in order to win over the generals in the army.
The chaos in the camp appeared, Hongqing didn't dare to sit idly by, even if martial law was issued, prohibiting unrelated people from entering the camp, no matter who it was, without Hongqing's own handwriting, anyone who dared to trespass into the camp would be dealt with by military law! With such an order, the chaos in the camp has disappeared, but the trouble is far from over, there is nothing else, the first group army is mainly based on the banner people in Beijing, most of the generals' homes are in the Sijiu City, the brothers do not dare to risk the risk of being beaten to the barracks, but the direction of the main attack is placed on the families of the generals in Beijing, so the entire Sijiu City is even a good miasma.
In terms of money, even if several elder brothers add up, it is categorically impossible to compare with Hongqing, even if there is actually only thirty and a half of the "Qilin Firm" under his name, but he really wants to adjust the silver, whether it is the old fifteen or the sixteenth, he can transfer thousands of taels of cash casually, and he really has to rely on money to cage the army's heart, Yu Hongqing, in fact, it is not a difficult thing, but he categorically can't do it, no side, the eight major group armies of the Qing Dynasty are controlled by Hongqing's hands, Once a lot of silver is spent on the first group army, it is bound to not favor one over the other, if you really want to throw money together, no matter how much silver is not enough, besides, even if the silver is enough, Hongqing categorically can't do this, the reason is very simple, the army is to be used to fight, how can a group of rich soldiers have any combat effectiveness at all, there is no doubt that such a stupid thing, Hongqing will not do it, in this way, he has only two ways to go, one is to brazenly launch a mutiny, to end the current chaos; The second is to reach a certain compromise with Emperor Chengde, sacrificing part of the interests in exchange for buffer time.
If Emperor Chengde still has a few years to live, there is no doubt that Hongqing, who has been unbearable, will definitely adopt the first response strategy, the problem is that considering that Emperor Chengde is not far away, it seems that there is not much need for a usurper notoriety, of course, if the situation is forced, then it is impossible to say, when it is time to raise the flag, Hongqing will not have half a diǎn ambiguity, therefore, in the case that Emperor Chengde has not been responded to several times in a row, Hongqing issued an order again- At the same time, Hongqing himself had personally gone to the general staff headquarters of the three armed services near the Fengtai camp and put on a posture of brazen preparation for the use of force!
"Bastard, what do you want to do? I'm angry, you say, you say, didn't you tell me that that guy won't act recklessly, and now in this situation, how can I deal with myself, well, say, make it clear to me! ”
As soon as the Fengtai camp moved, there was a sudden rumor in the capital, and when Emperor Chengde heard the news, even though he panicked, he hurriedly summoned Li Minquan, and he scolded him for scolding.
"Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry, Weichen thinks that Prince Ren's move is just a gesture, and it will never be the opposite, and please Your Majesty and don't be deceived by what he did."
The reason why Li Minquan came up with the idea of disturbing the Fengtai camp this time was that he was entrusted by the third elder brother and the fourth master, and received a lot of money from both parties, which would spare no effort to instigate Emperor Chengde to play a delaying strategy, but he didn't expect that the third elder brother and others were so bold as to take the opportunity to win over the generals in the army. Even he didn't believe it himself.
"Fart, when it's really the opposite, what do I want you to do, say, how should this matter be over?"
Emperor Chengde's pattern is small, but he is not stupid, and he will not be deceived by Li Minquan's judgment that is not very nutritious, but when he saw his face, he was already angry and burst into a foul language.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, according to Weichen, even if Prince Ren has a rebellion, he will not be very strong, and what he is doing is undoubtedly forcing His Majesty, otherwise, why is there such a big fanfare, just an order to go down, I am afraid that the imperial city has already changed hands, therefore, Weichen thinks that it is not difficult to deal with this matter."
As soon as Emperor Chengde's words came out, even though Li Minquan was forced into a corner, he secretly felt bitter in his heart, but he never dared to show it at this time, so he could only fight his spirit, and while dealing with it with false words, he quickly turned his mind in order to find a reasonable strategy to solve this matter.
"Isn't it difficult? Hmph, how can it be a way to give birth to a law, you will explain it clearly to me! ”
What Emperor Chengde wants to listen to at this time is not a reassuring word, but a practical solution to the problem, this is all nonsense when Li Minquan says it, how can he give him a very good face.
"Your Majesty, the reason why Prince Ren is angry is nothing more than because of the chaos in the Fengtai camp, if you can appoint a chief official in time, it is not difficult to calm down, but if you follow Prince Ren's will, but I am afraid that it will gain an inch, which is really a big disadvantage to Your Majesty, therefore, Weichen proposed to transfer Tashan back to the Fengtai camp and put him in charge of the First Army."
Seeing Emperor Chengde relentlessly forcing him to ask questions, Li Minquan was a little anxious when he boarded, and in this hurry, he really thought of a clever move, so he hurriedly made a suggestion.
"Tower Hill? Well...... let's be specific! ”
Emperor Chengde still has a deep impression of Tashan, the original commander of the first army, and also knows that the reason why he was left in Ili is because he was squeezed out by Hongqing, after all, this person is a slave of the Thirteenth Master, Hongqing wants to control the new army independently, and naturally will not tolerate the Thirteenth Master's people in the army, and now, Li Minquan actually proposed that Tashan return to Fengtai Battalion, Emperor Chengde was stunned, and thought about it with a frown, and also felt that it seemed to be a good choice if Tashan could be used to restrain Hongqing, The problem is how Hongqing will easily agree, there is no doubt that Emperor Chengde did not think that this matter could be done, but as soon as he saw Li Minquan seemed to be full of confidence, the ambition in his heart really rose, and he did not reprimand Li Minquan for his nonsense, but asked with anticipation.
"Your Majesty Mingjian, Tashan is a veteran in the army, and is the uncle of the Taning River, if Your Majesty is lifted up in it, even if the Taning River is unwilling, it will not dare to fight, the previous self-resignation is inevitable, once this is the case, it can calmly resolve the offensive of Prince Ren, there is no legitimate reason, it is to erect a flag, it is also difficult."
Li Minquan just wanted to be able to deal with the anger of Emperor Chengde at this time, and he didn't care how feasible the plan was, but seeing that he was full of confidence, he gave a detailed explanation.
