Chapter 829: Easy First and then Difficult
On the seventh day of February in the first year of Chengde, the emperor of Daxing went out of the funeral, the emperor and his ministers helped the coffin to Zunhua, sealed the palace and returned to the rear, and on February 15, the enthronement ceremony, the amnesty of the world, and scheduled to open Enke on March 25, with the university Shi Maqi as the main examination, the news came out, the whole world celebrated; On February 18, Prince Yong Yinxiang and Prince Ren Hongqing jointly signed a letter requesting the expansion of the new army.
On 20 February, Zhang Ting, a scholar of the university, said that the important task of the military aircraft is the most important task of the society, and it must be done by His Majesty himself, so please set up a "military aircraft department" for use, and the emperor approved it, and 'handed' it to Zhang Ting 'jade' to handle this matter, but unexpectedly, as soon as the edict was issued, it was suddenly impeached by the courtiers, accusing Zhang Ting of 'jade' and 'confusing', and it was also said that Zhang Ting's 'jade' changed the ancestral system without authorization, and it was a 'traitor' with ill intentions. Soon after, the governors of the surrounding provinces also opposed this chapter to Beijing, only a few days, the opposition 'wave' was already like a 'tide' surging up, Emperor Chengde repeatedly made a move, saying that this move was from the sacred heart, for a temporary measure, when the new army was completed, since the abolition, but the ministers not only did not listen, the opposition 'wave' but became more and more high, 'getting' Emperor Chengde is very unable to come down.
"Qing'er, tell me about it, why did the matter of the 'Military Aircraft Department' come into such a mess? Now what's going on, huh? ”
The establishment of the "Military Aircraft Department" can be said to be the first edict of actual government affairs since Emperor Chengde ascended the throne, and he has repeatedly stated it several times, but he has not been able to suppress the backlash of the ministers, which can make Emperor Chengde crooked his nose, but this matter is difficult to use force, after all, he has just taken the throne, and the foundation can be described as very shallow. Chaos happened, all kinds of busy to no avail, had to be busy with the expansion of the new army Hongqing summoned to the Qianqing Palace, not waiting for Hongqing to see the ceremony, Emperor Chengde was already angry and asked.
What's going on? Needless to say, the fourth master, the eighth master, the fourteenth master and others are not fools, how can they not see the strangeness of the "military aircraft department", and how can they sit and wait to be killed, and it is inevitable that the group will fight back, but if you want to say that it will cause such a one-sided situation at the moment, it is not only that the fourth master and others are working hard in secret, Hongqing also 'intervened' in it - if he doesn't express his position on this matter, Zhao Shenqiao, Shen He, Dai Zi, Rong Zhu and other members of Hongqing's family will naturally not take a position easily, And of course, the people who belonged to the old fifteen brothers also died down, so that just relying on a few henchmen of Emperor Chengde, such as Li Minquan and Chen Guanzhao, who were newly promoted to the study, shouted desperately there, what could they do, and as a result, it naturally became what it is now.
"Back to the emperor's words, the ministers thought that the ministers were puzzled by this new policy, but there are more people with bad intentions who are secretly '' indulgence, and now the situation has been 'chaotic', and it is afraid that something is wrong with force, so it is better to find another way."
Of course, Hongqing would not say that this situation was caused by his secret acquiescence, let alone tell Emperor Chengde the truth about his self-respect, so he just made a worried appearance and replied simply.
"Hmph, a bunch of wolf-hearted dogs, I want to see how long they can make trouble! You say, what is the other way to do this? ”
This time it is not the 'door' of your lords who take the lead in making trouble, or the ministers who are close to your lords, Emperor Chengde is not blind, and it is impossible to see that a group of younger brothers are deliberately losing their face, but it is clear that Emperor Chengde has no way to deal with it, if it were not for this, he would not have called Hongqing - Emperor Chengde has always cherished Yu' Mao', now the government and the opposition are rumoring that Emperor Chengde is a factor and expensive, although this is the fact, but Emperor Chengde is extremely unhappy with this, if it is not for the current situation is inseparable from Hongqing's strong support, he originally wanted to refrigerate Hongqing first, which is no way, will ask Yu Hongqing, because the first edict of government affairs is categorically not allowed to be lost, otherwise, he Chengde Emperor is afraid that his reputation will be discredited.
"Huang Ama Mingjian, the ministers think that there are two key figures in this storm, one is that the fourteenth master is in the middle of the contact, and the other is that Song Zhu is headed by the respect of the scholars, if you 'want' to calm down the situation, you need to start from these two places."
Long before the current situation was formed, Hongqing already had the means to deal with it and the necessary means to strike, and he was full of confidence when he said that he would come out.
"Song Zhu? Hmph, this old fool, I haven't even settled old accounts with him, and I dare to act so recklessly this time, I really deceive me too much! ”
As soon as Song Zhu was mentioned, Emperor Chengde immediately remembered the humiliation of being taken down by Song Zhu in public, and immediately became angry, angrily slapped the dragon case, and scolded angrily.
"Huang Ama is angry, Lord Song is the first emperor's important minister, although there is a perverse behavior, but it is not suitable to be dealt with again, now, his age is old, it is good to allow him to beg for a good job, but the fourteenth uncle's disposal must be cautious, and must not be neglected."
This wind' In the end, all those who have opinions on Emperor Chengde are launched as a whole, even Hongqing has a share, it is really not just the crime of Lao Fourteen and Song Zhu, but these two have served as the head of the military department, and the hat of opposing military reform is buckled on the heads of these two people, and there is nothing wrong with it, bringing down these two people, whether it is for Emperor Chengde or Yu Hongqing, it is something that must be done, and it is precisely because of these considerations that Hongqing will pick out these two people as the first round of targets, of course, compared to the deep-rooted four masters and eight masters, these two people are relatively easy to deal with, and it is basically a meaning of easy first and then difficultAs for how to deal with it, Hongqing has actually thought about it for a long time, but he is not in a hurry to tell it all, but says half, leave half, and wait for Emperor Chengde to ask himself.
"Well, Song Zhu is old and frail, I pity it very much, I can't bear to use it excessively, so let him go back to Shengjing to retire, this edict, I turned around and gave it, but the old fourteen ......, hmm, Qing'er can have any good strategy?"
Although Emperor Chengde was extremely dissatisfied with Songzhu, he was not a person who loved to kill, and he didn't want to take on the notoriety of killing the best minister, although he didn't want to indulge Songzhu much, but at the end, he still sensibly agreed to Hongqing's proposal, and then how to deal with the old fourteen, Emperor Chengde was a little blind - kill, it can't be killed, after all, the bones of the first emperor are not cold, Emperor Chengde really didn't dare to do anything to kill his brother, put, and can't let go, I didn't dare to make a big fuss when the old fourteen came back, such a heroic generation was placed in Beijing, No matter what, it is an unstable factor, not to mention that this person still has a huge and boundless latent force in the army, if it is not handled properly, maybe the world will be in chaos again.
"Huang Ama Mingjian, when Huang Ma Fa passed away, the fourteenth uncle has not returned, and there is very little time to keep filial piety in front of the spirit, which is inconsistent with the way of governing the country in my great Qing Dynasty.
For the scruples in Emperor Chengde's heart, Hongqing knew it very well in his heart, and he did not disappoint him, and he gave a perfect solution after a little "groaning".
"Huh? Hmmm......"
As soon as he heard Hongqing's suggestion, even if Emperor Chengde was moved, but his heart was moved, he couldn't help but be afraid that when the edict was issued, there would be a backlash from the old fourteenth.
Oh, you always have to be that, but also to set up the archway, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world!
Seeing Emperor Chengde there, Hongqing couldn't help but mutter, of course, muttering to muttering, but Hongqing would not bring it to his face, and he didn't plan to make any further progress, but stood silently with his hands down, waiting for Emperor Chengde to make a decision himself.
"I think this strategy is feasible, but the old fourteenth person is stubborn, if he makes some jokes, but I am afraid of losing the face of my heavenly family, this strategy is offered by Qing'er, I think there should be a stable means, I will give you a will later, this matter will be done by you, I only need the result."
Emperor Chengde didn't have a good way to think about it, so he played a scoundrel and unceremoniously threw this hot potato to Hongqing, and his words were full of unshirkable meaning.
I'll go to it, you really want to set up a memorial arch, yes, you are ruthless!
Seeing that Emperor Chengde was so blatantly playing a scoundrel, Hongqing really couldn't cry or laugh, but at this moment, it was not easy to say "no" bluntly, so he had no choice but to bow down and answer: "Emperor Ama Shengming, the sons should be properly handled." ”
"Well, that's fine, how is the expansion of the new army going?"
Hearing Hongqing's agreement, Emperor Chengde immediately secretly breathed a sigh of relief, lest Hongqing regret it, so he hurriedly changed the topic.
"Back to Huang Ama's words, the artillery command academy is now insufficient, Erchen and Uncle Thirteen are negotiating on the establishment of a new military academy, the general intention has been decided, only one matter is still unresolved, that is, the president of the academy, Uncle Thirteen proposed by the son, Erchen thought that this matter must not be done, originally wanted to invite Huang Ama to be, but has been busy with all kinds of matters, for a while has not been Ming Huang Ama, now I took advantage of it, and asked Huang Ama to take the time to go to the military academy to lay the foundation for my Qing Military Academy."
Knowing that Emperor Chengde was looking for something to say, Hongqing didn't care, and briefly introduced a few words with a smile, and then made a request coincidentally. "Oh? That's it, well, Rong Zhen thought about it once or two. "As early as the time of Long Qian, Hongqing has expounded the idea of building the army several times, and the military academy is the top priority, for the position of the principal of the military academy, Emperor Chengde is actually salivating, but because of the situation, he is not embarrassed to open such a mouth, and now, Hongqing himself has sent such a big piece of "fat" and "meat" The door came, Emperor Chengde's heart was really beautiful, but he was embarrassed to show too eagerness, so he pretended to hesitate and vaguely took a handful, but in fact, he already had a thousand wishes in his heart, didn't he see that his smug smile had already put his thoughts on his face......
