When it is close to midsummer, the bamboo forest is verdant and straight, the pond is full of lotus flowers, dragonflies play in the water, butterflies dance, this scenery is undoubtedly very beautiful, but the more beautiful is the sound of the piano, but see the old master Chen in a white robe sitting in the pavilion near the water, under the plucking of ten fingers, a song "Yangchun White Snow" sounded leisurely, a quiet artistic conception of the empty valley swirled in the back garden, and the sound of the piano was like this, even if Hongqing was full of thoughts at this time, he couldn't help but be impressed, and he paused himself, just stood quietly outside the pavilion, and listened silently, The restless mood slowly calmed down.

"The prince's mind is very heavy, could it be that there is something wrong with that moth in the palace?"

The song has ended, but Hongqing is still intoxicated by the peaceful artistic conception, standing still and not moving, but the old master Chen, who plays the piano, is the first to speak.

"If you return to your master, the apprentice has been ordered to supervise the negotiations with the Kingdom of Great Britain, and the reorganization of the new army has been temporarily handed over to Hedda to take care of."

Hearing Old Master Chen's question, Hongqing came back to his senses from reverie, smiled indifferently, walked slowly up the steps in front of the pavilion, bowed to Old Master Chen, and replied in a calm voice.

"Well, since the prince has returned so early, presumably Lang Erheng must have pretended to be sick and hiding."

Although Hongqing did not talk about what happened to the Domain, Old Master Chen broke the mystery in one mouth.

"The master is right, that guy said that he had a sudden illness, and he had already slipped away before the apprentice arrived at the Li Fan Academy."

Hongqing had long known that Old Master Chen must have guessed the bottom line, so he was not surprised, and after explaining with a smile, he immediately lifted the hem of his robe and sat opposite Old Master Chen.

"Heh, it's expected, that guy dares to do this, it's nothing more than the idea of the one in the palace, this is to drag the prince in this matter, so that Heda can intervene in the whole army, in this case, how does the prince plan to do it?"

Old Master Chen did not rush to speak out to give Hongqing guidance, but asked a question like an exam.

"It's good to let it be, as long as you don't miss the errand, it's easy to say, if there is a mistake, you have to ask some people to stop."

Over the past few days, Hongqing has really had enough of Emperor Chengde's continuous small actions, although the restless mood has been soothed by the song of Old Master Chen before, but the words he said at this time are still murderous.

"The time has not yet come, and the prince must be patient."

Although Hongqing didn't say who he wanted to ask to stop, Old Master Chen understood it as soon as he heard it, but he obviously didn't agree with Hongqing's drastic approach to deal with this matter.

"Hmmm......"

In fact, there is no need for Old Master Chen to mention it, Hongqing himself knows that this is really not a good time to play the "Xuanwumen Change", yes, with a powerful new army in hand, if Hongqing really wants to go his own way, it can indeed succeed, but the consequence is that the world is in chaos, even if the new army is invincible, clean up the mess, it will take several years to say the least, not to mention the civil war, the lives are ruined, it is not the blessing of the society, it is out of these considerations, Hongqing will tolerate Emperor Chengde's provocation all the time, but patience is limited after all, Hongqing is not a saint, and there is no so-called "cultivation" of spitting on his face, in the face of Emperor Chengde's repeated small actions, Hongqing's endurance has been almost exhausted, because of this, even if he knows that what Old Master Chen said is right, Hongqing has never expressed his position, just snorted sullenly.

"If the prince really wants to express something, then take Lang Erheng as a target, and just punish him slightly, presumably the one in the palace will not have any opinions."

Just looking at Hongqing's appearance, Old Master Chen knew that Hongqing had been bored by Emperor Chengde these days, and he couldn't help but worry about it in his heart, and he was really worried that Hongqing would play a big game without a name, so he considered his tone and persuaded him tactfully.

"Shizun smiled, the apprentice is not a person who does not know what is good or bad, and he will not worry about a mere lackey, the left and right are for the sake of national affairs, and it is good for the country to endure each other."

Although Old Master Chen covered it up well, Hongqing could clearly feel the deep worry in the old master's heart, and couldn't help but be amazed, smiled bitterly, and stopped mentioning the matter of fighting back.

"It's good that the prince can think like this, and when the prince calms down the rebellion in the northwest, it's almost time to settle the account, and it's not too late to wait until then to make a settlement."

Although Hongqing had already said something, Old Master Chen was obviously not too relieved, so he hurriedly said again.

"The master has taught me a lesson, and the disciples have memorized it."

Hearing what Old Master Chen said, Hongqing's eyes immediately burst out with murderous aura, of course, this was not for Old Master Chen, but thought of the situation after the Northwest Rebellion, although such a murderous aura was fleeting, but the meaning of Senran was terrifying, even if it was when the sun was shining at this time, it still made people feel cold, even if it was a person from the city like Old Master Chen, he couldn't help but be shocked......

Time flies, in a blink of an eye it is the middle of June, nearly half a month, the court situation is still chaotic, the criminal department is constantly lively, Hongsheng and Hongli are still vigorously trying the case, and the criminal department up and down is going all out to play the trick of hide and seek, making trips, the two sides you and I fight the law, tossing and moving is really not small, as for the Fengtai camp, it is also in full swing -- the second round of expansion of the new army has officially begun, and the total strength will be expanded from the original 30,000 to 120,000, Even if there is a detailed expansion plan for the long time ago, the soldiers, workers, households, and officials have been fully mobilized, but there are too many aspects involved, and the troubles on the connection are always indispensable. So they jointly signed this chapter, and the good student sued Heda.

Heda who is also, that is the guard commander of Emperor Chengde in the early years, belongs to the cronies of the cronies, the generals sue him, it is obviously difficult to have any effect, of course, although Emperor Chengde did not punish Heda, but he did not dare to ignore the grievances of the generals, and then sent the old thirteen to the Fengtai camp, in charge of all matters of the army, and rewarded the generals for a good life, which was reluctantly suppressed this matter, but it was inevitable that this bad debt was counted on Hongqing's head, It is reported that Emperor Chengde scolded Hongqing in private, saying that Hongqing was guilty of meritorious work, but these rumors are just rumors, whether they are true or not, no one knows, at least in public, Emperor Chengde has never said that Hongqing is not at all.

The rumors of Emperor Chengde scolding his mother, with Hongqing's ears and eyes, naturally have known for a long time, although he has not checked it, but Hongqing knows that this thing is true, and Emperor Chengde is so angry with people's temperament, slapping the table and scolding people is just an ordinary thing, the reason why he did not dare to openly issue an edict to reprimand is nothing more than that he is worried that it will completely anger Hongqing, in this regard, Hongqing is really helpless, there is no other, the generals impeached Heda in this book is really not instigated by Hongqing, It's completely the result of Heda's own lack of ability, but this matter can't be explained clearly, and secondly, Hongqing doesn't bother to explain, at this time, Emperor Chengde has been blinded by prejudice, he likes to think about it, in the final analysis, the element of restraint between each other is not the anger value, but the strength value, at least before Emperor Chengde has not mastered enough strength, he categorically does not dare to really turn his face, and there is nothing that can be said about the superficial efforts of maintaining mutual forbearance for the country.

"Lord Yu, Lang Shangshu is here."

As the so-called tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Hongqing has been following the rules for most of the month, except for the morning and dusk provinces, all of them are soaked in the Li Fan Yuan, even if Lang Erheng has been avoiding this Shangshu, Hongqing has no complaints, in the name of the order to do business, convened Zong A and others to conduct more than ten rounds of negotiations on negotiation matters, and generally finalized the reception matters and related negotiation procedures and the general limit of their own side, and formed a complete charter, submitted to the imperial front, for Emperor Chengde to review, But I never thought that it had been three days since the charter was sent, and I didn't see any instructions from Emperor Chengde, but Lang Erheng, who had been "sick" for many days, came out.

"Xuan."

Now that the charter has been submitted, before it is approved, Hongqing actually has nothing to do - the Fengtai camp is naturally unable to return, and it is not good to stay at home when there is an envoy, and in order to avoid suspicion, it is really difficult for other ministries to go around, as for the military aircraft department, Hongqing does not want to go, and the only place where he can stay is such a boring yamen as the Li Fan Yuan, Leng Buding heard that Ding Song came to report, and his brows were furrowed, not for anything else, just because Hongqing had already guessed Lang Erheng's intentions at this time, but he didn't say anything, just spit out a word in a slightly cold voice.

"Wow!"

Hearing Hongqing's voice, Ding Song didn't dare to slack off a little, hurriedly responded, and hurriedly exited the office, and after a while, he saw Lang Erheng turn out from behind the screen at the door, and the smile on his face was fake, without any sincerity......
