On the second day of July in the first year of Renhe, the Beijing-Tianjin-Tianlu trial run and the official listing ceremony of the Qing Railway Company was held near Fengtai in the suburbs of Beijing, Emperor Renhe led many ministers to attend the ceremony, not only personally cut the ribbon for the ceremony, but also led the court and the central government from the first rank or above to take a special train from Beijing to Tianjin, and met with the new governor of Zhili Liu Chengen and the officers above the major general of the navy and army in the locality, but did not stay in the Tianjin Palace, but returned to the Beijing division by special train in the afternoon, and the people along the way all knelt down to greet them.

Early the next morning, the "Beijing Times" and a large chapter in detail of the function of the railway and the importance of the Qing Sheji, so far, the Daqing Railway Company has not yet been officially operated, it has become famous in the world, with this shareholder wind, the Daqing Railway Company and while the iron is hot announced the operation rules of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway and the general plan for the development of the follow-up railway, soon set off a railway fever throughout the country, many provinces of the local officials have asked for priority treatment, the provinces are also keenly smelled business opportunities, for this reason, There are countless people who have come to the Daqing Railway Company.

The deepening and reform of military affairs is progressing smoothly, the construction of the three major intelligence bureaus is also in full swing, the situation in the court is changing with each passing day, Hongqing's mood is naturally very comfortable, even if because of the complexity of everything, every day has to be busy from morning to night, but Hongqing is as willing as a glutton, there has never been the slightest slack, no, early this morning, just had breakfast, Hongqing has already rushed to the heart palace with a soft chariot, ready to start the day's daily work, just sat down, and even the tea has not had time to take a sip, Li Dequan had already hurriedly come to report, saying that Ma Qi and Fang Bao had come to see him together.

"Xuan."

Hearing Ma Qi and Fang Bao together, Hongqing's brows unconsciously frowned, no side, Hongqing's several military ministers appointed by Hongqing have each delineated the things they are in charge of, and the fault is not a major event, otherwise, it is categorically impossible for the two military aircraft ministers on duty to come together to pay tribute, and now, since the two of them are Qi Zhi, it means that something important must happen, which inevitably makes Hongqing muttered in his heart, but there is no hesitation, and his voice is calm.

"Wow!"

Hongqing Chrysostom was opened, Li Dequan did not dare to delay a little, hurriedly responded respectfully, and hurriedly withdrew from the main hall.

"What's the matter, I'm listening."

After a salute, Ma and Fang were not in a hurry to do something, as soon as they saw this, Hongqing's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he asked with a hint of displeasure.

"Qi Gong Xi Xià, General Fengtian and Su sent an urgent letter, the Prince Yun Xi has died of illness in the mansion the day before yesterday, General Fengtian does not know what etiquette to bury him, especially urgent report to the imperial court, please Your Majesty Xi à Ming Xun."

As soon as Hongqing opened his mouth, Ma Qike didn't dare to remain silent anymore, and hurriedly explained.

Well? Actually dead?

As soon as he heard that the eighth master was dead, Hongqing couldn't help but be stunned, and then a feeling of not knowing what it felt suddenly rippled in his heart, and he was silent for a long time, and he never said anything, and the matter involved the secrets of the Heavenly Family, and Ma and Fang didn't dare to speak indiscriminately at this time, so they could only stand silently with their hands down, respectfully waiting for Hongqing's instructions.

"If you bury him as soon as possible, you will be allowed to return to Beijing to live in accordance with Baylor's rules, and his sons will be exempted from the sins of his sons."

has been fighting hard with the eighth master for more than 20 years, if you want to talk about hatred, of course, there is, but it can be said, it is just the inevitability of the heavenly housekeeping, Hongqing actually does not hate the eighth master, of course, if the eighth master is not dead, Hongqing will not let him out of the mountain, and now, since he died of illness, Hongqing is happy to give him a little mourning, which can be regarded as a kind of respect for the old opponent.

"Your Majesty."

Seeing that Hongqing had already opened the golden mouth, Ma and Fang also breathed a sigh of relief, of course, they would not have any objections to this matter, and hurriedly praised them together.

"Anything else? And just once the Tao will come out, I can't bear to guess dumb riddles. ”

Although Ma and Fang were praised, they did not leave, but stood in front of the palace, as if there was still something difficult to do, as soon as they saw this, Hongqing's brows wrinkled, and his voice was slightly cold.

"Your Majesty, there are indeed two things, one is that Li Minquan, the Minister of Military Aircraft who has been sick at home for a long time, asked to return to his hometown, and now this chapter is here, please take a look at it."

Seeing Hongqing's impatient face, the two of them didn't dare to postpone any longer, this time it was Fang Bao who stepped forward, took out a fold from the wide sleeves with shaking hands, and held it high above his head with both hands.

Hey, this old thing wants to slip away? How can it be so cheap!

As soon as he heard that Li Minquan wanted to tell the old man to return to his hometown, Hongqing's eyes immediately flashed a trace of essence, no side, Li Minquan had set up a lot of conspiracies and tricks, and wanted to put Hongqing to death, and as soon as Hongqing ascended the throne, this old boy was very amuseful and hid at home, but Hongqing did not forget the blood feud that was framed several times, and the reason why he never dealt with it was because he was busy with government affairs, and he couldn't free up his hands for the time being, and now, he actually wanted to get out of the house, how could this be possible!

"Your Majesty, Lord Li is an important minister of the first dynasty, the first emperor is in Japan, every time he relies on it, he is begging, and the old minister thinks that he is unapprovisable."

Seeing that Hongqing was speechless for a long time, neither allowed to play, nor let the eunuchs hand over the excerpts, Fang Bao guessed the murderous intention in Hongqing's heart, but obviously did not think so, so he said a sincere admonition.

"Hand it over."

Hongqing did not comment on Fang Bao's advice, but just quietly commanded.

"Wow!"

Hearing Hongqing's order, Li Dequan, who was waiting on the side, didn't dare to delay it slightly, hurriedly responded respectfully, trotted forward, stretched out his hand to take the fold in Fang Bao's hand, and respectfully handed it to the dragon case in front of Hongqing.

"I know about this matter, and let's discuss it again, Mr. Linggao will talk about the second matter first."

Hongqing could understand the hints between Fang Bao's words, and what he said was nothing more than asking Hongqing to show people, so as to appease the hearts of those courtiers who stood on the side of Zhu Elder Brother back then, but Hongqing obviously had other considerations in his heart, and did not intend to discuss this matter in detail, and he didn't even look at the excerpts, so he changed the topic indifferently.

"Your Majesty, there is still a fold here, which is the Jiangxi Provincial Supervision Imperial Shi Wang Siqi, which is related to the imperial examination, and the ministers dare not make decisions without permission, and please look at them."

As soon as Hongqing Chrysostom opened like this, although Fang Bao was worried in his heart, he didn't dare to admonish him, so he shook his hand and took out a fold from the wide sleeve, held it in both hands, and raised it high above his head.

Well? It's this guy again, it seems that the fourth master is really not cleaning up!

As soon as he heard that it was Wang Siqi again, Hongqing's eyebrows were raised, and the anger in his heart jumped up involuntarily, but he didn't attack Fang Bao, he just waved his hand with a cold face, and commanded impatiently: "Hand it over." ”

"Wow!"

Hearing Hongqing's unkind tone, Li Dequan hurriedly responded cautiously, walked quickly to Fang Bao, took the thick fold, and respectfully forwarded it to Hongqing.

Hmmm, isn't it interesting, it seems that the fourth master has really worked hard this time.

Hongqing didn't pay attention to the tentative gaze of Ma and Fang, picked up the fold and looked at it carefully, under this look, it was really fascinating, no side, Wang Siqi's fold contained, although there is a suspicion of extremism, but basically it is to the drawbacks of the current imperial examination, that is, most of today's scholars are "dead reading, reading dead books", the country relies on a single article to take scholars, although the middle is extraordinary, but Tai is half a useless sour Confucian, not to mention that there is no talent in the world, even the basic life is bad enough, Letting such people govern the place is undoubtedly harming the people, not to mention that many officials from Jinshi are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the article is full of flowers, but in fact they are dirty villains, just like the huge greed Chen Wangxuan who was taken down a few days ago, and in the long run, the society is inevitably worried.

"What do you think Aiqing thinks this is going on?"

The reform of the imperial examination is something that Hongqing has long wanted to do but has not dared to do it, no side, Wuju is good to say, there are three major military academies in, people who practice martial arts can be admitted to the military academy, and they can also obtain the identity of an officer, which will naturally not cause much repercussions, but Wenju is different, involving a wide range of aspects, one is not careful, that is the situation of chaos in the world, in this regard, although Hongqing has already calculated, but still does not dare to move lightly, originally planned to slowly try to change the status quo after winning a big victory in foreign wars, But now that the fourth master is making a noise, Hongqing really has the idea of taking advantage of the situation, but the matter is big, as the emperor, Hongqing does not dare to express his position lightly, and after reading the excerpt, he did not comment, but quietly threw the problem to Ma and Fang.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the imperial examination will affect the whole body, and no matter how cautious he is, he can't be too cautious."

Ma and Fang thought that after reading the excerpt, Hongqing would be furious, but they didn't expect Hongqing to have no expression, and there seemed to be a bit of approval in the tone of the question, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

"Well, Ma Aiqing is very worried, and I am also thinking about it like this, so it's okay, let's discuss this matter this morning, Li Dequan, go, and call Zhang Tingyu, Shen He, and Lang Erheng."

Hongqing frowned and thought about it, the eagerness for innovation in his heart still did not diminish a little, although he knew that this matter was not a small risk, but he did not intend to put it on hold, so he gave an order in a deep voice, and Li Dequan respectfully agreed to the promise, led the two little eunuchs, and hurriedly ran out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and went to summon all the ministers of military aircraft without mentioning it......
