On September 20, the third year of Chengde, the emperor issued an edict, ordering Hongqing to preside over military and political reform matters, and to the Minister of War Xunzhu as his deputy. The next morning, he issued an edict, saying that the eighth master, ninth master, tenth master, and fourteenth master were arrested together, and ordered Zhang Tingyu to be the chief trialist, Wang Chengqian, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Tao Yi, the left deputy chief censor, were appointed to clarify the case. On the same day, Yue Zhongqi led the main force of the First Army to the capital, and submitted a report report and the thief chief such as Cewang Alabantan, Luobuzangdanjin. When the emperor heard this, he only said "good", but did not receive the soldiers of the triumphant victory in the Western Expedition. He only issued two oral instructions. One was to order the Western Expedition to transfer all important prisoners of war to the Ministry of Justice, and the other was to let the First Army return to Fengtai camp, and each division gave ten days off. There was no other statement. It was obvious that Emperor Chengde did not like the soldiers of the triumphant victory in the Western Expedition.

It is normal for Emperor Chengde to dislike him. After all, the change in Fengtai Camp has just been revealed. Emperor Chengde is already a frightened bird and is very worried about the new army. How could he express any closeness and favor? In fact, if possible, Emperor Chengde would like to remove all the new army and return to the field. Of course, I imagine it, I really want to take action. Emperor Chengde really doesn’t have the courage to give him a cold greeting. It is the greatest limit that Emperor Chengde can do.

Their children were loved by themselves, and Emperor Chengde could give them cold treatment, but Hongqing would never let the hearts of the soldiers. With a command, he immediately transferred three million taels of silver from the "Eight Banners Business" development fund. As a reward for the army, not only all the soldiers in the Western Expedition were rewarded, but none of the newly compiled Fengtai army was pulled down. They also had a banquet for the three armies. They led two thousand selected guards to return to their palace. The news soon spread to the palace, but Emperor Chengde did not make any public statements. However, he got angry in private. It was reported that all the houses in the study of the Ganqing Palace were changed, and all the things were gone.

Emperor Chengde was angry and Hongqing didn't care at all. It was nothing else. The father and son have completely parted ways. Although the veil of peace was still maintained in public, it was actually difficult for both sides to live in peace as before. The subsequent open and secret struggles will only become more and more intense. Unless one side finally surrenders, the struggle will not stop. Hongqing has already prepared mentally, but is not afraid of the wind, frost, snow and rain. After only one day of rest at home, Hongqing has begun to work hard, and orders are sent out like flowing water. The curtain of the military coup reform has been opened quickly.

"Report to the prince, Xunzhu, Minister of War, Lord Xun is looking for a meeting outside the garden."

The military coupon has begun in a hurry, but Hongqing has never been to the Ministry of War, nor has she ever gone to the Military Affairs Office to work. Instead, she set up the command center in the Summer Palace. All the decrees were issued from here, and the gangsters of the Ministry of War were not allowed to intervene. In this way, some people naturally couldn't sit still. Early in the morning, Hongqing had just started working for a few hours, and saw Ding Song hurriedly coming in from outside, and snatched it in a few big steps, and hurriedly reported it.

"pass."

Hongqing did not find any stranger to Xunzhu's arrival. On the contrary, if Xunzhu didn't come yet, Hongqing would have some suspicion. It was nothing else. Xunzhu was ordered to be the deputy imperial envoy to supervise military and political reform matters, and was one of the first top officials in the court to vote for Emperor Chengde. If he did not express anything in the face of such "big big trouble", it would be strange. Hongqing was mentally prepared for this, but he didn't take it seriously. He said without raising his head.

"twitter!"

Hearing Hongqing's instructions, Ding Song did not dare to delay any delay. He responded quickly and hurriedly left the study. After a while, he was already accompanied by the famous 70-year-old man, who was the current Minister of War Xunzhu.

Xunzhu, a man from Manying Hongqi, was born in the ninth year of Shunzhi, entered the official position in the tenth year of Kangxi, and was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Works within two years. In the 17th year of Kangxi, he was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue, and was appointed as the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue in the 21st year of Kangxi. He was promoted to the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor of the cabinet in the 27th year of Kangxi. His official career was extremely prosperous and he was extremely prosperous in step by step. He was regarded as the future prime minister early. However, in the second year of his tenure as a bachelor of the cabinet, he somehow lost his holy family and was sent to Shengjing. Although he was still in the title of Minister of Works, he was just an idle person. This situation continued

In the 53rd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Xunzhu, who had been away from the mainstream of the court for more than 20 years, walked through the third master's route and was able to be transferred back to the capital again. He first stayed as the Minister of Personnel for three years, and then was transferred to the Minister of War. Soon after, Yin Tebu, who had committed the crime, became the Minister of War. A few days ago, he originally planned to be the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, but somehow, in the end, Yan Xin, the former governor of Shaanxi who had originally planned to take over as the Minister of War, went to Yunnan and Guizhou, but Xunzhu still stayed in the position of the Minister of War. Recently, there have been rumors that he was going to join the Military Affairs Office to handle the work, and he was one of Emperor Chengde's confidant generals.

"Sir, please see the prince!"

Xunzhu has never been to the army, but after staying in the Ministry of War, where there are many soldiers and dogs, he has a bit of military spirit. Although he is old, he is very straightforward and neat when he is at the ceremony.

"Sir Xun is polite, please spare me, come and see the seat."

Although he knew that Xunzhu was here to find fault this time, Hongqing did not show any impatience. He politely raised his hand and called out.

"Thank you for your throne."

Since Hongqing had given some instructions, the guards waiting beside him did not dare to neglect them. Soon, they carried a few more seconds, Jindun, and served the newly brewed fragrant tea. Xunzhu was not polite. After thanking him, he sat down with a big golden sword.

"Mr. Xun came to see me early in the morning. I guess there is something important to do. Then I will agree, let me listen."

The various plans for military and political reform were actually roughly formulated as early as the 51st year of Kangxi, and they also reported to Mr. Kangxi, but for various reasons, they were finally put down. This new plan was just a few adjustments to the details. Hongqing had already considered all the procedures, but even so, even if it was implemented alone, there were still countless things to worry about. Over the past few days, Hongqing had almost been busy from morning to night, and even had little rest time. She was unwilling to talk nonsense with Xunzhu. After he had just sat down, Hongqing had already directly picked out the topic.

"The prince has clearly understood that the emperor has received the imperial edict from His Majesty five days ago to coordinate the military reform. Now our Ministry of War has prepared troops and is waiting for the prince to send a message. The emperor can follow the order, and he will not hide it from the prince. The emperor is here to ask for the order, and he will also ask the prince to show his order."

Xunzhu is a veteran of the officialdom. After experiencing ups and downs, he has been able to experience it without any loss. After a few words of asking for his life, he is passionate. At first glance, he really has the heart to serve the country with his sincere attitude, and he is completely in a state of unity with Hongqing.

"It is not good for Lord Xun to have such a loyal mind to serve the country. As for the military reform, there is no need for the Ministry of War to deal with the matter. If there is any explanation, I will send someone to the Ministry of War to handle it. I hope Lord Xun will not complain about this coming and not being bothered by me at that time."

Although Xunzhu said this very beautifully, if you want to fool Hongqing, it is obviously far behind. Of course, Hongqing didn't really plan to tear her face with Xunzhu, and praised Xunzhu with a smile, but half of the truth was given to him. There is nothing else. Hongqing was determined to abandon the Ministry of War and start a new business. There is only one thing that really needs the cooperation of the Ministry of War, that is, to bring the arsenal of the Ministry of War. As for the miscellaneous files and personnel of the Ministry of War, Hongqing did not intend to take over, nor did he reuse it. Because of this, Hongqing would not let Xunzhu intervene in the military reform.

"The prince is so sympathetic to our officials of the Ministry of War, and the officials are very grateful. But the officials are doing things according to the order. If they do nothing, they will be difficult to submit a job to Your Majesty. I will not hide it from the prince. Yesterday, the prince summoned the officials and asked about the matter of doing the job. The poor officials could not answer any of them. He was scolded by His Majesty on the spot. I still thought about it and was shocked. I would like to ask the prince to make arrangements for the sake of the officials being diligent, so that my subordinates could have room for explanation?"

Hongqing is good at playing Tai Chi, but Xunzhu is not so easy to pass. However, seeing him bowing to Hongqing with a bitter face, he was already distressed. He even carried the banner of Emperor Chengde, intending to use this to force Hongqing to submit.

"I am very sorry to ask Lord Xun to eat and leave it. Since this is the case, I will not be polite. There are several things that require the other end of the Ministry of War to cooperate more. First, the transfer of the Ministry of War arsenal, and second, the files of the map surveys of various places are sorted out. These two items are important and cannot be missed. However, the plans of the departments of this king are not yet neat, so I will ask Lord Xun to consolidate them first. Looking back, I will send someone to hand over. This is how can I do it?"
