On August 21 of the fifth year of Chengde, the fourth master resigned from the road construction charter, and the emperor allowed him, and took over the envoy to the prince of Jiaoren, Hongqing, and issued an edict to the fourth master to act in charge of the criminal department. The time for administering government is getting less and less, and the original five-day period has gradually become a half-moon or even a month-long day, and there is a backlog of government affairs, and there is a danger that the government program will gradually be abolished.

Emperor Chengde's old state is so exposed, the secret preparations of all parties have begun to speed up, under the quiet court situation, a faction of turbulent waves, all forces are sparing no effort to win over the courtiers, and are busy promoting henchmen, but when Emperor Chengde is tired of government, it seems to be extremely easy to speak, and when the recital of the elder brother and the fourth master is basically rarely dismissed, it is only a short period of half a year, the atmosphere of the court is very different, although Hongqing's court strength is still in the first place, But the forces of all parties have united to defeat Hongqing, and the trend of the situation towards chaos has begun to appear.

The main theme of the court has always been struggle, not peace, the difference is only how fierce the struggle is, there is no doubt that after the quiet period of most of the year, there will inevitably be a fierce fight, in this regard, Hongqing has long been mentally prepared, but never expected to come so violently and suddenly - on the seventh day of April in the sixth year of Chengde, Zhao Fangzhen, the governor of Henan, said that the "Qiming firm" that contracted many sections of road construction projects in the province cut corners, so that the quality of the road was rotten, and several bridges collapsed in the flood, Wan Hechun, a Taoist of the Ministry of Industry in Henan, and many other officials accepted bribes and colluded inside and outside, and their actions should be punished; Immediately afterwards, the next day, Sun Ming, the governor of Jiangsu Province, impeached Liu Chengen (Liu San'er's name), the governor of Jiangsu, for abusing his power and becoming corrupt, with a deficit of more than 2 million taels during his tenure; On the same day, Shandong Provincial Inspector Yu Shi Minshu impeached Yue Zhongqi, the commander of the First Group Army of the Army, and his mother died of illness.

"Qing'er, and give me an explanation, what the hell is going on, how can such an unbearable thing happen to the Ministry of Engineering under your control, and what Liu Chengen has done, he dares to lose such a huge amount, I entrust the great task to You, is this how you repay me, huh?"

Under the successive arrival of several bullet seals, Emperor Chengde went against the previous style of ignoring government affairs, and announced Hongqing to the Heart Cultivation Palace, in front of the elder brothers and the ministers of military aircraft, before Hongqing finished the ceremony, he was already a faction of anger and scolded.

"Huang Ama is angry, and the sons have just learned about the report, and now they have sent people to picket the roots, before the matter is clear, the sons think that they still need to be treated carefully."

In the face of Emperor Chengde's angry rebuke, Hongqing was also helpless, and there was no side, so the bullet chapter was too sudden, although there was such a sharp weapon as the "sharp knife", but for a while, Hongqing was also difficult to find out the truth of the Henan project and Liu San'er's shortfall case, and this time it could only be explained in general.

"You think, I think, I'm dizzy, you say, you say, this is a bad thing, how to deal with it, huh?"

Although Hongqing had already given an explanation, Emperor Chengde did not give up, and still scolded angrily, forcing Hongqing to show his attitude on the spot.

"Huang Ama Mingjian, the son thinks that how to deal with it should be based on facts, and before the investigation, it is not appropriate to talk about the disposal, and please ask the emperor Ama to issue an edict to investigate thoroughly to find out the truth."

With Hongqing's understanding of Liu San'er's past, he doesn't believe that Liu San'er dares to do corrupt things, but if you want to vouch for it, Hongqing really can't help but be a little worried, no side, people will always change, since Liu San'er was transferred from Shaanxi to Jiangsu Governor two and a half years ago, Hongqing has never seen him in person, and he just wrote a few letters, whether his temperament has changed, how dare he make an assertion, as for Wan Hechun, a Taoist sent by the Ministry of Works, Hongqing is just a vague impression, I didn't know much about it, and it was even more impossible to vouch for it at this time, and in the face of Emperor Chengde's aggressive words, Hongqing really didn't have much to say except for a thorough investigation.

"Investigate thoroughly, okay, this is what you said, then I will issue an edict to investigate thoroughly to the end, and see how long this gang of corrupt officials and corrupt officials can be rampant, hum, Yunzhen!"

Emperor Chengde glanced at Hongqing fiercely, and after scolding gloomily, he suddenly raised his voice and named the fourth master.

"Brother is here!"

Over the past year, the fourth master often goes in and out of the palace, relying on the sycophants of Emperor Chengde, his status in the court is no longer the marginal person of the year, and now although he is not the minister of military aircraft, he is already the most relied on by Emperor Chengde among the older generation of princes, even the fifth master and the seventh master who have always been friendly with Emperor Chengde are not as favored as him. The fourth master has never had the slightest pampering and coquettish appearance, and when coping, he didn't say anything about the etiquette, and the face full of sincerity and fear was as realistic as it was.

"I will give you a will, and I will investigate these two cases clearly, but no one is allowed to let go of anyone involved in the case, I want to see how black the hearts of these wolf-hearted and dog-hearted people are!"

After enduring so many days, and now that he finally seized the opportunity, Emperor Chengde was no longer as easy-going as in the past, and was as high-profile as if he was a supreme authority, and he didn't consult Hongqing and other ministers at all, and Qiankun made a decree arbitrarily.

"Qi Majesty, Jiangsu's case, the minister's brother should do his best to investigate, and he will never dare to live up to His Majesty's trust, but the collapse of the Henan Road and Bridge involves a lot, I am afraid that it is beyond the ability of the minister's brother, if there is a mistake, it is not beautiful, please also ask Your Majesty to Mingjian."

As soon as Emperor Chengde's words came out, the look of sincerity and fear on the fourth master's face suddenly became a little stronger, but he did not promise loudly, but sincerely explained a few words.

"Well, the fourth brother is right, Naer will concentrate on the case of Jiangsu, as for the case in Henan, it ......."

Emperor Chengde did not take responsibility for the fourth master's resignation, but was as good as a stream, and then immediately made a hesitant groan.

"Huang Ama, Erchen thinks that the Henan case is very important, and the impact is extremely bad, and the truth must be ascertained as soon as possible, so as to give an explanation to the people of the world.

Emperor Chengde was struggling to support himself, but when he saw that the fifth elder brother Hongxian was already out of the ranks, he asked for his life.

"Huang Ama, the son thinks that the fifth brother has always been diligent, and he is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate."

As soon as the fifth elder brother's words fell, the third elder brother had already flashed out from the side in a big stride and echoed loudly.

"Yes, the third brother said very much, if the fifth brother can go to try this case, the truth will be revealed to the world, and the son is willing to ask the emperor for permission!"

"Huang Ama Mingjian, the fifth brother has always acted prudently, and he is fair and honest, he is indeed the most suitable person to try the case, and the son seconded it!"

"Huang Ama, the sons thought that what the third brother said was reasonable, and the sons also seconded it."

……

As soon as the third elder brother took the lead, the second elder brother and the others followed one after another, and they echoed each other, and for a while, the noise in the hall was as noisy as a vegetable market.

"Well, Xiao Wu is indeed good, and I am also confident, Qing'er, what do you say, huh?"

As soon as the elder brothers shouted like this, Emperor Chengde's old face immediately flushed red, nodded approvingly, and after casually echoing a sentence, he did not make a decision on this, but turned his hand and threw the problem to Hongqing, who was kneeling in the hall.

Oh, damn it, this is a Hongmen feast, a bunch of bastards!

As soon as he heard that Emperor Chengde threw the question over, Hongqing's first reaction was to resolutely oppose it, and then the words came to his mouth, but he stopped again, and there was nothing to do, just because Hongqing suddenly remembered one thing, that is, since he entered this palace of nourishing hearts, although Emperor Chengde scolded again and again, but he was stunned that he had never mentioned Yue Zhongqi's impeachment, which was obviously a little wrong. Hongqing seems to be really tough to the end, otherwise, it will inevitably seem too domineering, and when he looks back, there will be rumors flying all over the sky, even if Hongqing is not afraid, it is difficult to guarantee that Yue Zhongqi will have any other thoughts, and this is indeed not the situation that Hongqing is happy to see.

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

Under the thought of electricity, Hongqing quickly had an idea, and did not argue more, but replied very respectfully.

"Huh?"

Hongqing was refreshed, but Emperor Chengde was in trouble, no side, the reason why he threw the problem to Hongqing was to arouse Hongqing's heart of resistance, so that he could plan later, but he didn't expect Hongqing to have no opinion, the situation was obviously very different from what Emperor Chengde expected in advance, so Emperor Chengde really didn't know how to continue singing such a scene, and he was stunned on the spot.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that since he is the Prince of Ren and has no objection, this matter is so decided."

Emperor Chengde was stunned like this, and the atmosphere in the hall couldn't help but be a little cold, as soon as he saw this, Li Minquan couldn't hold it back, but when he saw that he grabbed it from the side in a few big strides, he hurriedly said a word.
