The things of the heavenly family, especially anecdotes and scandals, often spread the fastest, and the most widespread, coupled with the promotion of people with hearts, within a few days, the show girl made a ban on the matter has spread all over the world, there is no doubt that Hongqing's benevolent reputation has been sublimated again, not only the local officials have praised it, but the people are almost unanimously praised, but the fourth master who is in charge of the household envoy is unlucky to become the root of the evil in various versions, not only that, Hongqing's side from time to time is to issue an edict to investigate thoroughly, He personally summoned the fourth master for an interview, and even sent Haitao to the household department as the deputy envoy for a thorough investigation, nominally to assist the fourth master in investigating and dealing with the forced show girl, but in fact, he was supervising the progress of the fourth master's case, so that the fourth master was anxious all day long.

Examine? The fourth master wanted to investigate, and he went to check it seriously, but the problem was that he couldn't find any useful clues at all, no side, Hongqing already had a will first, and no one was allowed to disturb the troublesome show girl's family at will, and the fourth master just wanted to arrest those show girls to interrogate and couldn't do it, as for the head of the household, the household office official who was originally in charge of the show girls suddenly fell ill and died, and the whole case obviously has a tendency to become a headless public case, but Hongqing is unwilling to indulge lightly, **** urging, The fourth master is really disgraced enough, and he wants to go away, but Hongqing is not allowed, saying that the fourth uncle is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is the time to serve the society.

Time flies, in a blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, Hongqing's days are extraordinarily comfortable, although the government affairs are still very busy, but under the frequent spread of good news everywhere, the mood is particularly exciting -- the promotion of the military rank system and the rectification and improvement of the Nine Commanders Yamen are extremely smooth, the adjustment work is in an orderly manner, those who were originally strongly opposed to the Eight Banners magnates have all died down, and the matter of a complete ban on opium has also been vigorously carried out throughout the country, and the local government has sent more people, It is also the danger of propaganda opium, and it is to intensify the crackdown, in a short period of time it set off a storm-like crackdown, which was originally just the rise of the opium epidemic immediately completely disappeared, of course, what makes Hongqing more excited is that the Beijing-Tianjin Railway is fully completed, only the final trial operation can be put into normal operation, in this regard, Hongqing is excited, has issued an edict, saying that he will participate in the official operation of the premiere ceremony, at the same time, The establishment of the Daqing Railway Company has also been put on the agenda, and the specific matters are planned by the Ministry of Industry.

"Your Majesty, the old minister received a bullet stamp, I don't know what to do with it, and I ask Your Majesty to judge it."

Things will not always go smoothly after all, and trouble will come after all, no, early in the morning, Hongqing had just arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, and before he started the day's government affairs, Fang Bao had already found it, and as soon as he saw the ceremony, he shook his hand and took out a yellow silk masked fold from the wide sleeve and raised it high above his head.

"Hand it over."

Seeing that Fang Bao was so cautious and only handed over a fold, Hongqing's brows involuntarily frowned slightly, and he vaguely guessed that this fold would not be easy, but he didn't care very much, so he commanded casually.

"Wow!"

Hongqing's golden mouth was opened, and Li Dequan, who was waiting on the side, didn't dare to be careless, hurriedly walked down the front pier, stretched out his hands, took the fold in Fang Bao's hand, and quickly returned to the front pier, and put the fold respectfully in front of Hongqing.

Oh, the fourth master really can't hold his breath!

Picked up the fold and flipped it over, Hongqing's eyes finally fell on the signature behind the fold, just a look, even if he sneered in his heart, there was no side, just because the person on the book was Jiangxi Dao Inspector Wang Siqi, Chengde five years, the fourth master secretly promoted a chess piece, others may not know the details of this person, but Hongqing has already known in his heart, as for the person who impeached this person, it is no one else, it is Hongqing, the emperor, the crime is to be the emperor, but sitting on the "Qilin business", not only inconsistent with the ancestral system, There is a suspicion of competing with the people for profit!

"What does Mr. Lingao think about this?"

Hongqing's possession of the "Kirin Firm" has long been known to everyone, and it is not a very confidential matter at all, of course, if you really want to talk about it, it is indeed not so appropriate, after all, as an emperor, to do business, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit unorthodox, but this is not the key, the key is that the fourth master will poke this matter out, his intention is undoubtedly to muddy the waters, in order to reduce the pressure of the show girl's internal ban case, but Hongqing really can't simply give up the "Kirin Firm" at this time, there is no other, "sharp knife" The operation is all supported by the income of the "Kirin Firm", and furthermore, there are inextricable entanglements between the "Sharp Knife" and the "Kirin Firm", at least before the "Sharp Knife" is straightened out, the "Kirin Firm" naturally cannot be revoked lightly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter should not be delayed for a long time, and it should be resolved as soon as possible."

Hongqing has always attached great importance to secrecy, and the people who know about the "sharp knife" and the "Qilin firm" are not too many people in the court, but Fang Bao is clear, and it is precisely because he is clear that he does not dare to speak indiscriminately, so he only responds vaguely.

"Well, I know, I'll just leave this fold here first, and I'll deal with it later."

One is that the matter of "sharp knife" is not easy to take out and discuss it openly, and second, Hongqing hasn't figured out how to deal with this matter for a while, so when he saw that Fang Bao refused to suggest, he didn't force it, and casually put the fold on the dragon case, and the words already revealed the meaning of expulsion, obviously, Hongqing didn't want to discuss this matter for the time being.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister's bluntness, the fold can be left in the middle and not sent, however, it is not the way to cure it, if there are traitors who will publicize it in the market, but I am afraid that the situation will be passive, please also ask Your Majesty to learn more."

As early as the Kangxi period, Fang Bao was optimistic about Hongqing, and believed that Hongqing was definitely a generation of Ming Jun of the Qing Dynasty, on the road of Hongqing's succession, although he did not clearly express his stance on Hongqing's side, but in fact, he did not help Hongqing, in order not to invite merit and favor, but to sincerely want to see the eternity of Jiangshan Sheji, because of this, although he had heard Hongqing's intention of chasing customers, Fang Bao did not retreat, but reminded him euphemistically.

"Well...... what the gentleman said is very true, but this business name is not unique to me, it is to be disposed of, and it is not something that I can arbitrarily decide, so okay, I will summon Uncle Sixteen and Uncle Seventeen to come together to discuss a charter."

Although Fang Bao said it euphemistically, but Hongqing knew that this matter would happen nine times out of ten, there was no side, the fourth master and others would not make a move, as soon as they made a move, it must be a set of serial schemes, once the government and the opposition were in a commotion, if you want to play and suppress, it is really not a simple matter - the court law stipulates that officials are not allowed to do business, but as an emperor, he is in business, obviously unreasonable, even if he can be suppressed, in the future, he will inevitably be a little restrained by those magistrates, thinking of this, Hongqing does not dare to be careless, groaned and gave a reply.

"Your Majesty, the old minister retires."

All Fang Bao asked was that Hongqing could pay attention to this matter, but he himself obviously didn't want to get too involved in this matter, after all, the "sharp knife" involved the secrets of the Son of Heaven, and he knew a lot, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be liquidated in the future.

"Don't worry, I still have to listen to Mr. Mention in this matter, and when everyone arrives, let's discuss one or two together, come here, and pass on the fifteenth uncle, sixteenth uncle and Zhang Tingyu to see me immediately!"

As soon as Fang Bao's words came out, Hongqing already understood his intention to avoid it, but he didn't intend to let him go, there was nothing else, although Hongqing had conceived a rough solution in his heart, but after all, he had not seriously scrutinized it, and he hoped to borrow Fang Bao's careful thinking, which could not be said to be ordered.

"Wow!"

Hongqing had already said it to such an extent, Fang Bao didn't dare to say more, so he could only retreat to the side helplessly, but Li Dequan, who was originally standing beside Hongqing, hurriedly answered the promise loudly, and led the two little eunuchs to hurriedly withdraw from the Heart Cultivation Palace, and did not mention the matter of arranging the summons of all kinds of people.

"Ministers and others knock to see Your Majesty!"

Li Dequan's work efficiency is quite high, Hongqing and Fang Bao just chatted for a while, and then saw that the fifteenth brother and Zhang Tingyu had arrived.

"Excuse me."

As soon as everyone arrived, Hongqing stopped chatting with Fang Bao, and as soon as he raised his hand, he called out very kindly.

"Thank you, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Hongqing has already called, thanksgiving is the proper meaning of the question, but there is nothing to say.

"Today, I invited all of you Aiqing together, just to talk about one thing, well, let's say so, someone has participated in my book, and I can't make a decision, so I have to ask you Aiqing to discuss a good livelihood together, Li Dequan, Xuan!"

After everyone had done their best, Hongqing didn't say much to greet, briefly explained a few words, and then picked up the fold that was placed in the corner of the dragon case and threw it into Li Dequan's arms.

"Wow!"

Hearing Hongqing's instructions, Li Dequan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly copied the excerpt, while respectfully agreeing to the promise, and then spread out the fold, and preached loudly one by one: "Minister, Jiangxi Provincial Supervisor Wang Siqi has a reference to the book, here's check, 'Qilin Firm' belongs to His Majesty, this ......"

As soon as Li Dequan announced this, except for Fang Bao, who already knew the truth, the faces of the rest of the people suddenly became wonderful, and even Zhang Tingyu, who had always been cautious in his words and deeds, was stunned......
