Chapter 1035 Preemptive Strike (1)

On May 12, the fifth prince arrived in Beijing. The emperor read it and was furious. He summoned Prince Ren to the palace to hold accountable. At that time, Prince Ren inherited the unfavorable mistakes of his leadership and proposed to severely punish all the people involved in the case to serve as a warning. The emperor did not agree, and issued an edict to escort all the people involved in the collapse of the road and bridge to Beijing and hand them over to the Ministry of Justice for trial. Once the news came out, the government and the people were hotly discussed. The next day, the Beijing Times published the beginning and end of the case in a large chapter, and there were many great scholars and scriptures in Beijing, which criticized the merchants' nature of value for profit and neglecting righteousness. It once again launched a discussion on the rationality of the road and bridge projects being contracted by merchants, which immediately made the topic of hot discussion more hot.︽w.

On May 15, the sixth year of Chengde, it was supposed to be the time of court. The emperor was slightly ill and did not go to court. He issued an edict saying that he would postpone it for five days. However, on May 20, the emperor's dragon body had not yet recovered and he would not go to court again. On May 22, Hongli reported to the capital, but the emperor stayed at the center and did not issue it. He only said that he would make plans for the 25th day of the dynasty. However, within a few days, he frequently summoned the Fourth Master and the Third Prince and others to discuss secretly, but the content was unknown.

"All my dear friends!"

It has been more than a month since I was in the morning, and Emperor Chengde was even more ill during this period. However, his energy today is quite good. Not only did he appear very early, but when he faced the ministers' worship, his voice was obviously louder than before, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

"I am grateful to the Lord for your kindness, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Since Emperor Chengde called out, calling Long Live Three is the meaning of the title. No one dared to neglect it. Even some careful people have noticed that Emperor Chengde's performance is a bit unusual today, but they dare not have any inappropriate words and deeds at this time.

"Well, all my dear friends have the money and just go with me, I'll listen."

Emperor Chengde obviously enjoyed the respect of all the ministers, but he didn't say much nonsense, and just waved his hand and made a light sound from his nose.

"I heard from the emperor, I have a good idea to participate!"

As soon as Emperor Chengde finished speaking, Jiangsu Dao Supervisor Sun Ming snatched out of the queue quickly. He was very agile, but he was fast and Hongqing was faster. Before Sun Ming could speak, Hongqing respectfully saluted Emperor Chengde and asked for instructions.

“Buzz…”

When he heard that Hongqing wanted to participate in the person, Sun Ming was stunned on the spot, either embarrassingly, either moving forward or retreating. As for the various ministers, they were even more in a mess. This was the first time that Hongqing had personally participated in the person since Emperor Chengde ascended the throne. The one he wanted to participate in was definitely not an ordinary person, and the freedom was not allowed to be frightened by the ministers.

"speak!"

Seeing Hongqing snatching him out, the ministers were surprised, and Emperor Chengde was also very surprised. It was nothing else. According to the script rehearsed in advance, Sun Ming should have started the incident of Liu Chengen, and then launched a siege of Hongqing. However, Hongqing was snatched first, and it was hard to say where the scenes in the future would develop. Emperor Chengde could not help but feel depressed. However, at this moment, Hongqing could not help but let Hongqing say things. In desperation, he could only squeeze out a word from his teeth with a gloomy face.

"Empressed Emperor Amaron, my son was originally going to participate in Prince Yong's prince. Dorobel Hongli had many illegal activities. First, as an imperial envoy, he did not respect the law, did not ask for an order, and he arbitrarily punished local officials, forcibly detained and pacified envoys and other officials, and disturbed local officials. It was an usurpation, and he was disobedient and revealed his rebellion. He should be executed according to the law! Second, he was concealed for crimes, and wanted to frame loyal and kindness for his own selfish interests, regardless of the fact that local arrears were caused by the past years, and he forced to punish the chief officials of the border.

After being stopped by the Governor-General of Liangjiang, he did not repent and repeatedly violated the ban. He relied on his identity as an imperial envoy, roared at the court, beat the officials in the court and corrupted the laws and regulations. The crime was unforgivable! Third, colluding with bandits in the rivers and lakes, relying on the identity of an imperial envoy, lobbying for lawsuits, interfering with local appeasement, moral depravity, and despicable behavior. This is a cancer of the court and must be eliminated. Therefore, my son is willing to ask the emperor to issue an edict to thoroughly investigate, arrest this little girl, and punish the ruling of the court, as mentioned above!”

Hongqing has never been a person who can't fight back. Since the Fourth Master and his group are ignorant, Hongqing will not be polite at all. After a general comes up, the charges are very serious. No matter which of the three major crimes, they can only be investigated. Hongli has a few heads that are not enough to cut. As soon as such a cruel move was released, all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned on the spot.

The charges listed by Hongqing were so serious that the ministers in the square dared not come out at this moment. So, the huge square suddenly became quiet. The gaze of more than 500 court officials was all focused on Emperor Chengde, all thinking about seeing how Emperor Chengde would react.

"Is this... Can Qing'er's words prove?

The ministers could not speak, but Emperor Chengde obviously did not have such luck. Facing the focused gaze of various court officials, Emperor Chengde could be considered an emperor for many years, but hesitated for a long time and finally asked a question.

"When I say the Emperor Ama, I am not a false statement. Since I dare to participate, I have some evidence. There are many local officials in Jiangsu including the Governor General of Liangjiang, Jiangsu Governor Liu Chengen and many other Jiangsu officials. I would like to ask the Emperor Ama to inquire!"

It was never Hongqing's attitude towards things. It was known that Emperor Chengde and others had planned, but how could he not make arrangements in advance? As early as Emperor Chengde and others were planning, Hongqing had already set up a net of heaven and earth, waiting for these guys to fall into it. The reason why Hongli was allowed to make trouble in Jinling was just a trick of trying to get. Now that the time to close the net was ripe, Hongqing could not have any compassion, and she was posing as if she wanted to completely kill Hongli.

"Uh..., hand it over."

Seeing that Hongqing shook her hand, she had already taken out another yellow silk cover note. Emperor Chengde knew that Hongqing's words were true. He felt so blocked in his heart that he was unwilling to fulfill Hongqing's intentions. Then he turned his eyes slightly, nodded in a hypocritical way, and gave a dim command.

"twitter!"

After hearing Emperor Chengde's order, Qin Wuyong, who was waiting by his side, did not dare to delay any delay. He quickly bowed and responded, trotted down the steps in front of the door, quickly grabbed Hongqing's front, and reached out to get the note from Hongqing's hand.

"slow!"

Emperor Chengde's order seems ordinary, but who is Hongqing? How could he guess what the thoughts in Emperor Chengde's mind are? If the letter is really in the hands of Emperor Chengde, as long as he is not proclaimed, he will come up with a lot of reasons and then discuss the case. At that time, Hongqing's preemptive method will be easily dismantled by him. This is obviously not a situation that Hongqing likes to see, and it will not be fooled by Emperor Chengde like this. Seeing Qin Wuyong reach out to receive the letter, Hongqing immediately waved his hand without hesitation and blocked Qin Wuyong's hand, and shouted in a cold voice.

"Um?"

After Hong Qing said this, Emperor Chengde's face immediately drooped, his eyes glared, and he said coldly.

"The Emperor Ama Mingjian, this matter is very important, and Rong Erchen read it on his behalf, so that all the ministers can understand it. Please ask Emperor Amahn to make sure you understand!"

Even though Emperor Chengde's emperor was very arrogant, Hongqing was not moved at all. He bowed to Emperor Chengde with an expressionless face, and gave a suggestion without being arrogant or humble.

"Um……"

When Emperor Chengde heard Hongqing insisting so much, his originally ugly face suddenly became even more ugly. He was unsure, but he had no right reason to refuse. But if it was true, then the rhythm of the discussion would be completely controlled by Hongqing, and the consequences would be unimaginable. With this thought, Emperor Chengde was a little confused. Apart from making a meaningless groan, he couldn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, I think Prince Ren is very clear and I am willing to ask Your Majesty for your kindness!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter is very important and we must distinguish right from wrong in court!"

"Your Majesty, I think this matter has a huge impact, so I must strictly correct the basics and never let the treacherous and slandered people go freely!"

...

Hongqing had been preparing for today's court discussion for a long time, so how could he stop because of Emperor Chengde's silence? There was no need for any hint. Even Chenhe, Rongzhu and other ministers came out to ask for orders, giving Emperor Chengde no room to retreat on the spot.

Emperor Chengde didn't want Hongqing to read the joint memorial of Changding and others in court from the heart. Even though the ministers enthusiastically advised him, he still held on for a while. Obviously, he was waiting for the Third Prince and others to come forward to disrupt the situation. The wish was undoubtedly beautiful, but unfortunately the reality was cruel. There was nothing else. The Third Prince and others were unprepared for this matter. At this time when Hongqing's offensive was fierce, no one wanted to be Hongqing's target of taking his anger. As for the Fourth Master and his direct descendants, they really wanted to make such a decision. However, they were only to avoid suspicion by following the court rules. Secondly, it was difficult to find a reason to stop Hongqing from reading the memorial in court. Even though they were extremely anxious, they could only sit and wait helplessly.

"Well... since that's the case, Qing'er will come and listen to me."
