Chapter 857: Shooting the First Bird (4)

"Impossible, this is impossible, the eldest brother must be talking nonsense, Huang Ama, the son thinks that the eldest brother is opening a river in order to deceive the public, and his heart is unpredictable!"

In the face of Hongqing's fierce offensive, Hongxi obviously couldn't bear it, and then looked at the look of clarity on Emperor Chengde's face, even if his heart had sunk to the bottom, but he didn't want to admit defeat, because he couldn't afford to lose, in a hurry, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and he screamed regardless of the ground.

"That's it, make up a story to coax anyone, I don't believe it!"

The tenth master has a rough temperament and is fat, so he doesn't care about this at all, he shakes his head, and he snorts nonchalantly.

"Huang Ama, the ministers also think that this matter may not be true!"

As soon as the tenth master shouted like this, the seventh elder brother immediately made a fuss.

"Yes, that's all outside the world, and I haven't heard of it!"

"Indeed, who can know the truth of those barbaric things."

"How can this be true!"

……

Logically speaking, Hongqing's exposition is difficult to find a point to attack at all, and there is only one place that can be turned around, and that is to deny the existence of such facts.

"Well, is there any evidence for what Qing'er said?"

Although Emperor Chengde believed in his heart that what Hongqing said would definitely not be a mouthful, but since he wanted to arbitrate, he naturally couldn't be very partial, but when he saw Emperor Chengde pressing his hand, he spoke lightly to stop the commotion of the ministers, and then looked at Hongqing with a slight frown, and asked in a calm voice.

"Back to Huang Ama's words, what the son said is true, and it is not difficult to prove this matter, the file of the 'Eight Banners Firm' has all the facts that the son said, this is the reliable news that I'm 'Eight Banners Firm' has inquired into from many sources, as early as a few years ago, I have figured out the details of the barbarians who occupied the South Seas, if the Emperor Ama does not believe it, he can make the fifteenth uncle bring all the files, and you can know the authenticity at a glance."

In fact, as early as the first voyage of the "Eight Banners Firm" to the South Seas, Hongqing had already issued a secret order, requiring the "sharp knife" people placed in the firm to infiltrate the South Seas and collect all kinds of intelligence information, and two archives were established for this purpose, one is owned by the firm, and the level of secrecy is low, but all the middle and high-level staff in the firm can check it, and the other is the confidential archives of the "sharp knife", which can only be accessed by the high-level of the "sharp knife". Like all the dirty acts of Spain and other countries, the level of secrecy is actually not high, there is a clear record in the archives of the "Eight Banners Firm", others may not care about this, even if they know about it, they may not necessarily check it, especially these top officials present are unlikely to care about the records of the business archives, but Hongqing is not, after the baptism of the information explosion era in later generations, Hongqing knows better than anyone the importance of information collection and sorting, not only the information of the confidential archives, Even the cumbersome records in the business archives, Hongqing has flipped through them, and in terms of his strong memory, to remember such information, it is just an ordinary thing, and it is easy to say that it will rise up at this time.

"Fifteenth brother."

Hearing what Hongqing said was so conclusive, Emperor Chengde was a little more convinced, but he was still not in a hurry to make a judgment, but set his eyes on the old fifteen who was standing silently in the crowd, and nodded his name in a calm tone.

"Brother is here!"

Hearing Emperor Chengde's name, the old fifteen didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly flashed out from the side and answered the promise loudly.

"Fifteenth brother, is what Qing'er said earlier true?"

Emperor Chengde was still very polite to the fifteenth, and the tone of the question was quite kind, without putting on the slightest appearance of an emperor.

"Back to His Majesty's words, what Prince Ren said before is true, and the strategies and steps adopted by Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and even the Kingdom of Great Britain when they forcibly occupied the Nanyang countries are all the same as what Prince Ren said.

The old fifteenth has always been little interested in being an official, and he is not very willing to toss around with his brothers, but he is very interested in managing the firm, in the early years, he was in charge of the "Qilin firm", and later took charge of the "Eight Banners firm", such a giant, no matter how big or small, he knows all the information collected by the firm, and he is familiar with it, even stronger than Hongqing, and even the relevant file number can be said to be clear, which shows that he is serious about doing things on weekdays.

"Well, the fifteenth brother said that there is, then there must be one, this one, I can trust it, and I will go back and submit the file."

The old fifteen-year-old is not in the court, but he is in the hands of the "Eight Banners Firm", the core lifeblood of the children of the Eight Banners, and the influence among the children of the Eight Banners is incomparable, Emperor Chengde knows this very well, and in the past, he was very kind to the old fifteen, and has been looking forward to being able to use the old fifteen for his own use.

"Brother obeys."

Although the old fifteen is not good at words, but in essence he is a shrewd person, and he can understand the deliberate flattery of Emperor Chengde, but he does not intend to accept it, there is no other, because the old fifteen only obeyed Hongqing in his life, as for the others, even if the Chengde Emperor is the emperor, the old fifteen does not pay much attention to it, of course, the old fifteen cautious temperament, but it is impossible to put his mind on his face, for the soothing words of the Chengde Emperor, he just responded to it officially, Then he stepped aside.

"I have made up my mind, and Prince Ren is solely responsible for negotiating with the Kingdom of Great Britain, and no one else is allowed to interfere in it.

Emperor Chengde is worthy of being a long-sleeved dancer, and at first he planned to take advantage of this matter to suppress Hongqing, but then he saw that the situation was not right, so he immediately changed his course, intending to be an impartial arbitrator.

"Thank you Emperor Amalon, your sons and daughters will do their best, and they dare not live up to the trust of Emperor Ama."

Since Emperor Chengde said so, Hongqing had to hurry up to show his loyalty, but he never mentioned the gambling between him and the third elder brother earlier, there was nothing else, and letting the third elder brother make a big fool in court had already achieved the purpose of teaching him a lesson, and then he wanted to aggressively ask Hongxi to sit back, it would inevitably be a little unkind, and it would be very unfavorable to win the hearts of the courtiers, such a stupid thing, Hongqing would not do it.

"Huang Ama, the son heard that the third brother was going to bet against the eldest brother, and if he said that if he lost, he should sit back, especially in his ears, I'm afraid it can't be counted?"

After the third elder brother mixed up with the eighth master, he acted quite high-profile between the government and the opposition, and the people who offended him were not old or young, this time he was unlucky, and there was no shortage of people who fell into the well, no, Hongqing's voice of gratitude did not disappear, and he saw that the fourth elder brother Hongjing had already flashed out from the side, bowed to Emperor Chengde, and asked a question in a loud voice.

"Buzz ......"

As soon as the fourth elder brother said this, the people in the hall suddenly became chaotic again, and the noise was as noisy as a vegetable market.

I'll it, this guy can really stir up trouble, this is pulling hatred for us, hey, hey, it's really an unconscious master!

Hongqing is a shrewd individual, just listening, he already understands Hongjing's intention to come out at this time, this is not to help Hongqing speak, but to make the hatred between Hongqing and Hongxi public, in order to let Hongxi go to the end with Hongqing, so that he can take advantage of the chaos, this kind of intention is really insidious.

"Is there anything Qing'er has to say about that?"

Being so troubled by the fourth elder brother, Emperor Chengde couldn't help but have a headache, no side, although Emperor Chengde was quite dissatisfied with the third elder brother and the eighth master mixed together, but he still admired the third elder brother himself, and was going to unveil this section after the festival, he wanted to find a time to wake up the third elder brother, and he didn't want to deal with the third elder brother at this time, but the fourth elder brother was to pick things up, and Emperor Chengde couldn't be indifferent, and in desperation, he had to play a Tai Chi push hand and push this hot potato to Hongqing.

"Back to Huang Ama's words, the son thought that the third brother cared about current affairs, and his intentions were good, but he was a little radical in handling things, and said some excessive words, but it was also due to his youth and vigor, and it was not appropriate to deal with it seriously, and he asked Huang Ama to be lenient."

Emperor Chengde's caution is so obvious, how can Hongqing not see it, but he doesn't care much, so he replied softly and hard, it seems that he is interceding for Hongxi, but in fact, he wants Emperor Chengde to punish Hongxi's reckless behavior - the so-called meaning that it should not be punished heavily, that is, it cannot be punished, as for how to punish, then please ask Emperor Chengde to think about it himself.

"Well, Qing'er has always been lenient with others, and I take this from you very much, however, since this matter is Xi'er's fault in the first place, if it is not punished, the law of Chaogang will not be in vain, so good, I will discuss it with the Zongren Mansion, what kind of punishment should be given, and it will be determined by the Zongren Mansion."

Although Emperor Chengde had the intention to protect Hongxi, Hongqing had already expressed his position like this, and Emperor Chengde was too obvious to himself, and after a little groaning, he also gave a result that was not light or heavy.

"Emperor Ama Shengming, the sons have no objections."

Winning such a royal lawsuit, the purpose of teaching Hongxi a lesson has been achieved, as for the additional punishment later, it is just some addition, there is the best, it doesn't hurt if you don't, in this regard, Hongqing is very open, and he will not have any objections to Emperor Chengde's words, so he hurriedly praised it......
