On September 20, the third year of Chengde, the emperor issued an edict, ordering Hongqing to preside over the military and political reform, and the military department Shangshu Xunzhu as his deputy, and the next morning, he issued an edict, which was about to arrest the eighth master, the ninth master, the tenth master, and the fourteenth master, so that Zhang Tingyu was the main trial, and Wang Chengqian, the servant of the criminal department, and the left deputy Du Yu Shi Taoyi were the deputies, and the time limit was one month, so as to clarify the whole case; On the same day, Yue Zhongqi led the main force of the First Army to arrive in Beijing, and presented the battle report and the thief chiefs such as Alabutan and Luobzang Danjin. {

Emperor Chengde's disappointment is also a normal thing, after all, the change of the Fengtai camp has just been revealed, Emperor Chengde is already a frightened bird, and he is not at ease with the new army, how can there be a very close and graceful expression, in fact, if it is possible, Emperor Chengde is eager to disarm all the new troops and return to the field, of course, imagine it, do you really want to do it, Emperor Chengde really doesn't have the guts, giving a cold reception is already the maximum limit that Emperor Chengde can do.

His own children hurt at home, Emperor Chengde can give a cold reception, but Hongqing will never chill the hearts of the soldiers, a paper order down, immediately transferred three million taels of silver from the "Eight Banners Firm" development fund, as a reward for the army, not only the soldiers of the Western Expedition are rewarded, but the newly compiled more than ten thousand Fengtai army has not been pulled down, and the three armies have been feasted, and the two thousand selected palace guards have returned to their own palace, this news has quickly spread to the palace, Emperor Chengde has not said anything publicly, but, In private, he lost his temper fiercely, and it was reported that all the household items in the study of the Qianqing Palace had been changed, and there was no side, and it was all sparse.

Emperor Chengde is not angry, Hongqing doesn't care about it at all, there is no other, the father and son are now completely parted ways, although they still maintain a veil of peace in public, but in fact it is difficult for the two sides to get along peacefully as before, and the next open and secret struggle will only intensify, unless one party finally succumbs, otherwise, the struggle will not stop, in this regard, Hongqing has long been mentally prepared, but he is not afraid of those winds, frost, snow and rain, no, just a day of rest at home, Hongqing began to get busy, and one after another orders were sent out like flowing water, and the curtain of military and political change was opened rapidly.

"Lord Wang, the military department Shangshu Xunzhu and Lord Xun are asking to see you outside the park."

The military and political reform has begun in full swing, but Hongqing has not been to the military department, nor has he been to the military aircraft office, but has set up the command center in the Summer Palace, all the government orders have been issued from here, and there is no way to let the military department of the gang of officials and ruffians intervene in it, so naturally, some people will not be able to sit still, no, early in the morning, Hongqing has just started to work for a short time, and he saw Ding Song hurriedly coming in from outside, and a few big strides rushed to the front, and hurriedly reported a sentence.

"Biography."

For the arrival of Xunzhu, Hongqing did not feel strange at all, on the contrary, if Xunzhu did not come, Hongqing would have some suspicions, there is no other, Xunzhu was ordered to hang a title of deputy Qincha to supervise the military and political innovation, and was one of the first to throw himself into Emperor Chengde in the court, in the face of such "big rights and wrongs", if he did not say something, it would be a strange thing, in this regard, Hongqing had already been mentally prepared, but he didn't take it to heart, and said without raising his head.

"Wow!"

Hearing Hongqing's instructions, Ding Song didn't dare to delay a little, hurriedly answered, and hurriedly exited the study.

Xunzhu, full of red flags, born in Shunzhi nine years, Kangxi ten years into the office, at the beginning of the Ministry of Works, two years to promote the director, Kangxi 17 years to move the Ministry of Langzhong, Kangxi 21 years of Jin Hanlin Academy to study for bachelors, Kangxi 27 years and then promoted to the cabinet bachelor, the early official fortune can be described as prosperous, step by step momentum is extremely fierce, early regarded as the future of the minister, but in the second year of his appointment as a cabinet bachelor, but somehow lost the holy family, was sent to Shengjing, although there is still a title of the Ministry of Works, In fact, it's just an idler, this situation has lasted until the fifty-third year of Kangxi, and Xunzhu, who has been displaced outside the mainstream of the imperial court for more than 20 years, has gone through the door of the third master, and was able to be transferred back to Beijing again, first in the position of the official department for three years, and then transferred to the military department, and soon after, he replaced the guilty Yin Tebu to become the secretary of the military department, some time ago, it was originally planned to transfer the governor of Yungui, but somehow, in the end, it was the former Shaanxi governor Yanxin who originally planned to take over the military department of Shangshu went to Yungui, However, Xunzhu still stayed in the post of the secretary of the Ministry of War, and recently it has been rumored that he will enter the military aircraft department to run errands, and he is one of Emperor Chengde's confidants.

"Xiaguan see the prince!"

Xun Zhu has actually never been in the army, but he has been in the military department for a long time in the place where there are many ruffians like dogs, and he has a bit of military spirit.

"Xun Shangshu is polite, excuse me, come here, take a seat."

Although he knew that Xun Zhu had come to find fault this time, Hongqing did not show a very impatient look, and raised his hand very politely, and called out.

"Thank you, Lord Wang, for giving me a seat."

Since Hongqing had given orders, the guards waiting on the side did not dare to slack off, and soon brought a few sons, Jindun, and served freshly brewed fragrant tea, and Xunzhu was not polite, and after thanking him, he immediately sat down.

"Lord Xun came to see this king early in the morning, there must be something important, then say it, this king listens."

In fact, the various plans for military and political innovation have been roughly drawn up as early as the fifty-first year of Kangxi, and they have also been reported to the old man Kangxi, but at that time, for various reasons, they were finally shelved, and the new plan was just some adjustments in the details, all the procedures, Hongqing has already been considered as a whole, but even so, it is really implemented, but there are still countless things to worry about, these days, Hongqing has been busy almost from morning to night, and even the time to rest is pitiful, Since he didn't want to talk nonsense with Xun Zhu, as soon as he sat down, Hongqing had already picked out the topic straightforwardly.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials have received His Majesty's edict since five days ago, and they were ordered to assist in the reform of military affairs, and now our military department has been vigorously armed, just waiting for the prince to send a message, and the lower officials and others will follow the order, not to hide from the prince, the lower officials are here to ask for their lives, and please show the prince."

Xun Zhu is a veteran of the sea of eunuchs, has experienced ups and downs, has long been trained to be leaky, a request for life down, can not be said to be impassioned, at first glance, it is really the heart of the fist to serve the country, and a faction to unite with Hongqing sincerely.

"I'm afraid it's not good for Lord Xun to have such a loyal heart to serve the country, as for the matter of military innovation, there is no need for the military department to work hard for the time being, if there is an explanation, this king will send someone to the military department to deal with it, and I hope that Lord Xun will not be afraid that this king will disturb each other endlessly."

Although Xunzhu's words were extremely beautiful, but if you want to fool Hongqing, it is obviously too far behind, of course, Hongqing didn't really plan to tear his face with Xunzhu, and praised Xunzhu with a smile, but half of the truth was given to him, there is no other, Hongqing is already determined to put aside the military department this time, and start anew, there is really only one thing that needs the cooperation of the military department, that is, the arsenal of the military department will come over, as for the miscellaneous files and personnel of the military department, Hongqing is not going to take over, He didn't plan to reuse it, because of this, Hongqing would not let Xunzhu interfere in the reform of military affairs.

"The prince is so sympathetic to the officials of my military department, and the lower officials are really grateful, but the lower officials are doing things according to orders, if they do nothing, I am afraid it will be difficult to give an errand to Your Majesty, do not hide it from the prince, yesterday His Majesty summoned the lower officials, and asked about the errands, but the poor lower officials couldn't answer at all, and were reprimanded by His Majesty on the spot.

Hongqing is good at Tai Chi, but Xunzhu is not so easy to dismiss, but seeing that he arched his hand towards Hongqing with a bitter face, he has already cried bitterly, and he even carried the banner of Emperor Chengde in and out of his words, intending to force Hongqing to comply.

"Called Lord Xun to eat and hang, this king is very unhappy not to go, even so, the king is not welcome, there are a few things that do need to be cooperated with by the Ministry of War, one is the transfer of the arsenal of the Ministry of War, and the other is to sort out the files of the survey map in various places, these two are important things, there is no room for mistakes, but the plan of the various departments of this king has not yet been neatly organized, so please Lord Xun first take care of himself, and the king will send someone to hand over the handover, so it can be done?"

For others, Emperor Chengde's will is easy to use, but for Hongqing, Emperor Chengde's will is not popular, easy to use, can be used, Hongqing will follow, those useless, Hongqing just treated it as, of course, this kind of reason is clear to himself, but it is impossible to say it, there is no doubt that in Hongqing's mind, Emperor Chengde sent Xunzhu to make trouble is a useless word that belongs to the level of, and there is no need to pay attention to it at all, but Hongqing did not refuse Xunzhu's request to do an errand, casually gave Xunzhu two errands.
