Chapter 1035: Preemptive Strike (1)
On May 12, the sixth year of Chengde, the chapter of the fifth elder brother arrived in Beijing, the emperor read it, was furious, and summoned Prince Ren into the palace to be accountable, at that time, Prince Ren admitted that he had a disadvantageous leadership, and proposed to severely punish all the people involved in the case, etc., in order to set an example, the emperor did not allow, and issued an edict to the five elder brothers to escort all the people involved in the collapse of the road and bridge to Beijing, and handed them over to the criminal department for trial. The criticism of the businessman's disposition of valuing profit over righteousness once again set off a discussion on the rationality of handing over the contracting of roads and bridges and other projects to the businessman, which immediately made this already hotly discussed topic even hotter.
On May 15 of the sixth year of Chengde, it was supposed to be the time of the dynasty, the emperor was slightly ill, not the court, and issued an edict saying that it would be postponed for five days, however, on May 20, the emperor's dragon body was still not healed, and he did not go to the court again; On May 22, the report of Hongli arrived in Beijing, and the emperor did not send it, only saying that he would discuss it again on the 25th, but in a few days, he frequently summoned the fourth master and the third elder brother and others to discuss secretly, and the content was unknown.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"
It has been more than a month and has not been in the early dynasty, during which Emperor Chengde was even more ill, but today's spirit is quite good, not only appeared very early, but also faced the great salute of the ministers, the voice was obviously a little louder than in the past, and it was obvious that the mood was quite good.
"Ministers, thank you Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Since Emperor Chengde has called, three calls for long live are the proper meaning of the question, since no one dares to slack off, even if some careful people have noticed that Emperor Chengde's appearance is a little unusual, but they do not dare to have anything inappropriate at this time.
"Well, Zhong Aiqing has a book to take care of, I listen."
Emperor Chengde obviously enjoyed the humility of his ministers, but there was no nonsense, just a wave of his hand, and a soft sound came out of his nose.
"Emperor Amma, the son has a special reference!"
As soon as Emperor Chengde's voice fell, Sun Ming, the superintendent of Jiangsu Dao, had already rushed out of the queue, and his actions were very agile, but he was fast, Hongqing was faster, and before Sun Ming could say anything, Hongqing had already bowed respectfully to Emperor Chengde, and asked for a word.
"Buzz ......"
As soon as he heard that Hongqing wanted to participate in people, Sun Mingdang was embarrassed and stupid on the spot, not to advance, not to retreat, as for all the ministers, it was already in a commotion, no side, this is the first time since Emperor Chengde ascended the throne Hongqing personally participated in the people, the one who wants to participate will not be an idle person, and the ministers will not be frightened by the freedom of the ministers.
"Speak!"
Seeing Hongqing brazenly snatched out, not to mention that the ministers were surprised inexplicably, Emperor Chengde was also surprised, there is no other, according to the pre-rehearsed script, this should be Sun Ming's first cannon, leading to Liu Chengen's matter, and then setting off a siege of Hongqing, but now it is actually preempted by Hongqing, and it is really hard to say where the drama will develop, Emperor Chengde can't help but have a depressed feeling of being choked, but this is the mouth, but he can't help but let Hongqing say something, and in desperation, he can only have a gloomy face, A word came out between his teeth.
"Xie Huang Amalongen, the sons and daughters have many illegal things that should have been done by Prince Shen Yong and Dorobelle Hongli, one of them, as a chaplain, he did not respect the law, did not ask for an order, and acted on local officials without authorization, forcibly detained and pacified many other officials, and disrupted the rule of local officials. Second, fabricating charges, wanting to frame Zhongliang for his own selfish interests, ignoring the fact that the local arrears are caused by the past years, he forcibly used them to add crimes to the feudal officials, and after stopping them by Changding, the governor of Liangjiang, he did not repent, repeatedly violated the ban, and roared at the court, wantonly beat the court officials, corrupted the law, and the crime is unforgivable! Third, colluding with gangsters, relying on the identity of the Qincha, lobbying lawsuits, interfering with local appeasement, moral degradation, and despicable behavior are already a cancer of the imperial court, and they must be removed. ”
Hongqing has never been a person who can't fight backhanded, since the four masters and a group of people don't know how to lift, then Hongqing will not have the slightest politeness at all, a staff member will go up, the crime can be described as strict, no matter which one of the three major crimes, just check it, Hongli is a few heads are not enough to cut off, such a ruthless hand, even if the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are all stunned on the spot.
Hongqing's list of crimes was too strict, and the ministers in the square did not dare to come out at this time, so the huge square was strangely quiet, and the eyes of more than five hundred courtiers were all focused on Emperor Chengde, all wanting to see how Emperor Chengde would react.
"This ......, is there any empirical evidence for what Qing'er said?"
The ministers can not speak, but Emperor Chengde is obviously not so lucky, in the face of the focused gaze of all the courtiers, Rao is Emperor Chengde can be regarded as an emperor for many years, but he still can't help but feel weak for his heart, and after a long time, he finally held back a question.
"Back to the Emperor Ama's words, the sons and daughters have never been false, not only dare to participate, but also have evidence, there are many joint accusations of Jiangsu local officials such as Chang Ding, Governor of Liangjiang, Liu Chengen, Governor of Jiangsu, and so on, and please ask Huang Ama to inquire about it!"
Sitting back and waiting for death will never be Hongqing's attitude towards things, it is known that Emperor Chengde and others are calculating, how can they not make arrangements in advance, as early as when Emperor Chengde and others are endless, Hongqing has already laid a net, just waiting for these guys to plant inside, the reason why Hongli is allowed to mess around in Jinling, it is just to capture the old and indulge, and now, the time is ripe to close the net, Hongqing can not have the slightest compassion, and it is a posture to completely put Hongli to death.
"Hmm...... hand it over."
Seeing that Hongqing shook his hand, he had already taken out a yellow silk masked fold, Emperor Chengde knew that what Hongqing said was categorically true, and his heart was really choked enough, and he didn't want to just follow Hongqing's intentions, so his eyes rolled slightly, and he nodded pretending to groan, and commanded in a hoarse voice.
"Wow!"
Hearing Emperor Chengde's order, Qin Wuyong, who was waiting on the side, did not dare to delay a little, hurriedly bowed down to the promise, trotted down the steps in front of the door, and quickly grabbed Hongqing's body, and reached out to get the fold in Hongqing's hand.
"Slow!"
Emperor Chengde's order seems ordinary, but who Hongqing is, how can he not guess what thoughts are turning in Emperor Chengde's heart, if the fold is in the hands of Emperor Chengde, as long as he does not announce it, he can pull out a lot of reasons to postpone the case and discuss it later, at that time, Hongqing's preemptive means will be easily dismantled, and this is obviously not the situation that Hongqing is happy to see, since it is impossible to be fooled by Emperor Chengde so much, this time Qin Wuyong stretched out his hand to take the fold, Hongqing immediately waved his hand unceremoniously, blocking Qin Wuyong's hand, and his voice broke off coldly.
"Huh?"
As soon as Hongqing said this, Emperor Chengde's face immediately drooped, his eyes widened, and he spoke coldly.
"Emperor Ama Mingjian, the matter is very high, and let the ministers read it on their behalf, so that all the ministers can understand it, and ask the emperor Ama En to approve it!"
Rao is Emperor Chengde's imperial shelf is full of ten, but Hongqing was not moved at all, bowed to Emperor Chengde with an expressionless face, and said a word without being arrogant or humble.
"Hmmm......"
As soon as he heard Hongqing's insistence, Emperor Chengde's already ugly face suddenly became even more ugly, is it not accurate, but there is no legitimate reason to refuse, but if it is really accurate, then the rhythm of this discussion will be completely controlled by Hongqing, and the consequences are unimaginable.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Prince Ren said is very true, and I am willing to ask Your Majesty for permission!"
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the matter is serious, and it is really necessary to distinguish right from wrong in court!"
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter has a huge impact, and he should be strictly corrected, and he must not let the traitors go away!"
……
Hongqing has been preparing for today's court discussion for a long time, how could he make a remark because of Emperor Chengde's silence, there is no need for his hints, even if many ministers such as Shen He and Rongzhu have come out to ask for their lives, there is no room for Emperor Chengde to retreat on the spot.
Emperor Chengde didn't want Hongqing to read out the joint recital of Changding and others in court, even though the ministers were enthusiastic to admonish, he still held on for a while, obviously waiting for the third elder brother and others to come forward to stir up the situation, the wish is undoubtedly good, but unfortunately the reality is cruel, there is no other, the third elder brother and others are unprepared for this matter at all, at this time when Hongqing's offensive is fierce, no one wants to be the target of Hongqing's anger, as for the fourth master and his descendants, he really wants to come up with such a head, It's just that firstly, it is necessary to avoid suspicion according to the rules of the court, and secondly, it is difficult to find a reason to stop Hongqing from reading the recital in court for a while, even if he is very anxious, he can only sit helplessly and wait.
"Well...... that's the case, Qing'er will come and listen to me."
Emperor Chengde waited and waited, but he still couldn't wait for the expected person to come forward, and he couldn't help but be anxious and angry in his heart, but he was helpless to the extreme, so he could only follow the crowd unwillingly, but his face was as black as the bottom of the pot in an instant, and his snort was obviously much heavier, which shows how bad his mood is......
