Around the 14th day of March in the fifth year of Chengde, the edict on the disposal of the fourth elder brother and his henchmen was officially issued, although the Jingshi had already expected this, but it still caused a big wave, all kinds of rumors spread around, most of the versions pointed the finger at Hongqing's arbitrariness and ruthlessness, obviously, the coaxing of these rumors is indispensable to those with ulterior motives secretly fueling the troubles, in this regard, Hongqing has long expected it, but he has not taken it to heart, as usual, it is not to explain, not to refute the rumors of the evasive style, there is nothing else, Because Hongqing knows very well that the rumors about this kind of matter involving the heavenly family are inexorable, the more he argues, the more he can't say it, and the more he describes it, the darker it becomes, it is better to let it go, and after the morning of the fifteenth day, everything will eventually disappear, but it is really not worth spending a lot of effort to pay attention to the dark deeds of those with ulterior motives.

"Oh, the virtuous nephew is here, it's early."

The time of the night passed quickly, early in the morning, Hongqing had rushed to the ** square, just got off the sedan chair, and saw that the fourth master not far away also happened to come down from the sedan chair, but did not see Hongli's figure, which was not waiting for Hongqing to say anything, the fourth master had already walked over with a smile on his face, and said hello very kindly.

"Fourth uncle, early."

**Although the square is large, but the parking place of the carriage and horses is also so much area, who did you meet when you went up and down, it is not uncommon to say, but Hongqing did not think that this encounter with the fourth master would be a coincidence, there is no other, Hongli who has always followed the four masters up and down the dynasty is not here at this time, it is obviously contrary to common sense, obviously, in Hongqing's view, the fourth master is deliberately creating an opportunity to meet him Hongqing, and it is clear that he is coming to the court today, although Hongqing knows it, but it is not brought to the face, Instead, he hurriedly walked a few steps, stepped forward, and politely made a junior salute.

"The virtuous nephew is polite, and let's go for a walk together?"

The children of the heavenly family are all standard acting schools, and the fourth master is no exception, and the elders who are acting like benevolent at this time really seem to be very similar, and they can't see the usual cold style of the "cold noodle king" at all.

"The fourth uncle is invited, how dare the little nephew disobey, you invite."

With Hongqing's IQ, how could he not see that the fourth master was deliberately trying to create a false impression that the uncle and nephew had reached a consensus, but he didn't take it to heart, but seeing that he smiled gently, waved his hand, and signaled the fourth master to take a step forward.

"Well, the excerpt that the virtuous nephew took half a month ago is very good, and he has studied for many days for his uncle, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels that the artistic conception is profound, if he can really do it, why worry about my Qing Dynasty is not rich or strong."

The fourth master obviously knew very well that if he wanted to hide from Hongqing, he was afraid that it would be difficult to have many possibilities, so he didn't bother to cover it up, and he said the theme as soon as he opened his mouth.

"The fourth uncle praised it falsely."

Although there is an element of flattery in the words of the fourth master, it still has a little bit of appreciation of the true affection, this point, with Hongqing's ability to observe the face, can be heard, but no, I don't feel much surprised at all, there is no other, the fourth master was originally a doer, and when it comes to government affairs, he is actually stronger than Emperor Chengde, if he wasn't born out of nowhere, the emperor's position should have been done by the fourth master, of course, Hongqing will not have a good impression of it because of his appreciation, After all, there are irreconcilable contradictions between each other, and there will always be a moment of life and death in the future, but at this time, it doesn't hurt to have a chance with the snake.

"No, no, what the uncle said is from the bottom of his heart, this charter is of great benefit to the state, and it should be done quickly, the virtuous nephew can only rest assured, and he will fully support this matter for the uncle, and he will never let the traitors make a hindrance!"

As Hongqing expected, the reason why the fourth master "met" Hongqing was to let the middle and low-level courtiers gathered in the square see the harmonious relationship between him and Hongqing, and naturally they would not be very unhappy because of Hongqing's silence, but made an impassioned attitude of full support for Hongqing.

"It's a blessing to be able to get this promise from the fourth uncle."

Seeing that the fourth master became more and more involved, Hongqing really couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and then saw that many courtiers around him had focused their attention on himself and the fourth master, and he couldn't help but be a little stupid, but there was no way, the family drama that should be played still had to be continued.

"The virtuous nephew is polite, it's all for state affairs, and there is really no need to see outside."

The fourth master also observed the doubtful eyes projected by many courtiers, and he was very complacent in his heart, and he worked harder to play Ci and the elders.

"Yo, the two princes are early!"

"The fourth brother is early, and the virtuous nephew is early!"

"The fourth uncle is early, and the eldest brother is early."

……

The feeling of being caught to play a rival is naturally not much better, even if Hongqing also has the intention of using the fourth master, but after all, it is the fourth master who made the first move, Hongqing's heart is not very happy, it is inevitable, and it is only by relying on the depth of the city, which has never shown a very undeserved expression, fortunately, the road from the car and horse parking place to the court house is not far, and the kung fu of talking a few words has also arrived at the ground, and the people who were originally talking in the court room saw Hongqing and the fourth master coming together, and all kinds of people couldn't help but be surprised. However, the people who can stay in this Nanchao room are all top-notch people, even if they have any thoughts in their hearts, they will not bring them to their faces, and they all get up and greet each other.

"Brother Qing, what do you want to do with that bastard thing of the fourth child?"

After a lively and nourishing greeting nonsense, Hongqing got together with the fifteen brothers as usual, and just sat down in the corner, the outspoken sixteen was already asking a question urgently.

"It's nothing, it seems that the fourth uncle has also set his sights on that charter, and he plans to make a comeback."

For the calculation of the fourth master, in fact, as early as a few days ago, Hongqing had already deduced it, but he had never revealed it to outsiders, there was nothing else, what he was worried about was to cause chaos in his own camp, and now, the dynasty is imminent, and there is no need to keep it secret, besides, the old fifteen brothers are Hongqing's most trusted people, and there is really no need to hide it.

"Hey, grandma is a bear, I said how could this old boy be willing to help me wait to talk before, the feeling is that I have such an idea, no, this matter can't be cheap for nothing, that bastard!"

As soon as he heard Hongqing's words, Lao Sixteen's fiery temperament broke out, although he tried to lower his voice as much as possible, but the anger in his heart was inevitably too great, and even attracted a few inquiring eyes.

"Uncle Sixteen, don't worry, don't worry, just do everything according to the established regulations."

The reason why Hongqing didn't say the possible actions of the fourth master earlier, is worried that there will be great differences within his own camp, once the news leaks out, this court will add infinite variables, and this is obviously not the situation that Hongqing is happy to see, in his opinion, whether the fourth master will come back or not is a trivial matter, whether the charter can be successfully passed is the most important matter related to the future of the society, as for whether the fourth master can get a piece of the pie, Hongqing actually doesn't care much, as long as the left and right can firmly control the military power, everything can be under control, Although the truth is simple, it is not enough for outsiders, even the most trusted old fifteen brothers are no exception, it is out of these considerations that for the anger of the old sixteen, Hongqing can only simply appease a sentence.

"Well, how ...... then, well, that's it."

The old sixteen had a thick line, and he really didn't notice that someone was peeping around, and the words of opposition almost blurted out, but fortunately, the old fifteen was alert, reached out and quietly pulled him, and the old sixteen came back to his senses and changed his words.

"Going up, going up ......"

Hongqing arrived not early, and he walked with the fourth master for a while, after arriving at the court, in fact, it was not far from the time of the court, and the old fifteen brothers did not say a few words, and the palace sounded a tight shouting of the court, and all kinds of people who were idle did not dare to postpone any more, and they rushed out of the court room one after another, lined up according to the rank in the square, and marched into the palace gate with rapid steps, all the way to the direction of Qianqing Gate......

"Zhong Aiqing, this morning the court only discussed one matter, this chapter on the second day of the third month of the third month, all Aiqing can speak freely if they have any ideas, I will have my own opinions, okay, gossip less, and let's start."

Emperor Chengde's spirit today is obviously much better than in the past, the time to arrive is earlier than usual, almost the courtiers just lined up in the small square in front of the door, he has already walked out of the door, as soon as the salute is finished, he did not let Qin Wuyong announce the start of the early dynasty, but personally spoke, the voice is loud and not to speak, there is a strong sense of confidence inside, compared to the usual sluggishness of the court, it is really not the same.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this charter is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, not only to ensure that the progress of the current projects is unhindered, but also to escort many projects in the future.

As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Shen He has the responsibility to act as a pioneer in such major matters involving the major interests of the Ministry of Industry, no, as soon as Emperor Chengde's words fell, he had already strode out of the queue and loudly expressed his support.

"Your Majesty, the lower officials think that this matter is absolutely inappropriate, and the ministers are resolutely opposed!"

As soon as Shen He's voice fell, before Emperor Chengde could say anything, he saw that a minister had snatched out of the household army column, and sang the opposite tune loudly, and everyone followed the prestige, and immediately became in an uproar.
