Chapter 972 Tough Stance (2)

"The subordinates will do their best to do what the prince has assigned. However, our Ministry of War has important coordination after all. If we only do these two things, it is difficult to explain to Your Majesty. Haha, I will not hide it from the prince. These two things are in arsenal. Some officials in the Second Department of the Ministry of War are already useful. Nearly a thousand officials in our Ministry of War are still idle, and they are inevitably impeached by the ginseng. I also asked the prince to make more contributions."

Xunzhu is old in the officialdom, so it is not so easy to deal with. Besides, he was brought to Emperor Chengde's secret order this time. If he could not really interfere in the military reform, he would definitely be beaten by Emperor Chengde's board. Naturally, Hongqing would not have been fooled by him. But when he saw him beat him, he insisted on co-organizing things, and it was obvious that he wanted to do the rogue to the end.

Haha, this old guy is really shameless!

Seeing Xunzhu making a tumultuous gesture, Hongqing's face was still calm, but she still couldn't stop her anger. However, she did not go to Xunzhu, and said with a slightly cold voice: "Mr. Xun is so dedicated to the public, and the spirit is commendable. However, as the saying goes, you have to eat one bite at a time. This matter must be done one by one. Now that the military reform is just being prepared, there is no need to make a big move. If the Ministry of War can really complete the two tasks assigned by me, it will be considered a great achievement. When the King of Japan comes to the meeting of Lord Xun and the Minister of War, it will be better to do this first."

"The prince has taught me a lesson, haha, the subordinates should keep it in mind. Don't worry, the subordinates will not be able to deal with these two things incorrectly. But, haha, the subordinates also said before that these two things are not big, and some people can handle them more than enough. In the end, it will not be easy to leave many people in the Ministry of War idle. Please let the prince know this."

Xunzhu is a ketchup. Even though Hongqing's words were already cold, Xunzhu pretended to be unaware of it. He still lingered with a smile. After all, it was the original one, which was just a little different, and the meaning was exactly the same.

"Master Xun can do something for me, huh?"

Seeing Xunzhu so unfair, Hongqing stopped showing him a very good look. His face turned rough and asked a cold question.

"The prince clearly understands that the subordinates have been in the Ministry of War for some time. I dare not say anything about it. I do know a little about military affairs. If I really want to talk about it, I have some experience in the construction of the Logistics Headquarters and the headquarters of various military branches. If the prince can trust it, the subordinates are willing to lead all colleagues of the Ministry of War to do it, so that there will be no risk of mistakes."

When he heard Hongqing's words, even though Xunzhu was a person with extraordinary courage, he could not help but pale. When he thought of the secret order he had been in charge, he did not dare to retreat. He forced a smile, slapped his chest with a bold look, and spoke in a shameless manner.

"Ha, what a big tone. Did Lord Xun fire a gun or a cannon, or understand the tactics of the cavalry, huh?"

Seeing Xunzhu bragging there, Hongqing immediately laughed in anger, glanced at him coldly, and asked with disdain.

"This, haha, the prince laughed. Although the subordinates dare not say that they are proficient in it, they still know a little. Moreover, the extraordinary and skilled military experts among the officials of our Ministry of War should be..."

Xunzhu was just a bureaucrat after all, and he didn't know any military strategy. The reason why he was able to become the Minister of War was just the result of Emperor Chengde's promotion. After being asked by Hongqing, he couldn't help but feel weak. However, this guy was so handsome that even though he knew nothing about the new army, he dared to speak nonsense.

"Enough, I don't have time to listen to you nonsense. I'll do the two things I've assigned. Besides, it's not too late to say that the rest is here, and I'll see you off!"

Hongqing was too lazy to deal with such a person as Xunzhu, who was too unfair to say anything. Before he could finish his words, he waved his hand without hesitation and gave a cold order to expel the guest.

"Prince, the lower magistrate is the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy, you cannot..."

Xunzhu thought he was very powerful and had Emperor Chengde support behind his back. He thought he wanted to fight Hongqing well, but he didn't expect Hongqing to act so tough. In a daze, the anger in his heart really surged. He opened his mouth and wanted to argue with Hongqing.

"Mr. Xun, please stop!"

Before Xunzhu could finish his protest, Ding Song had already led several guards from the royal palace to force him forward and acted unceremoniously as if he was seeing off the guests. Each of his faces was full of fierce expressions, but Xiao Xunzhu dared to speak loudly, and the guards would definitely not give him any face.

"snort!"

Xunzhu is an old slippery man. He knew he would suffer a loss, so he didn't dare to slap more. After snorting coldly, he got up. Under the escort of Ding Song and others, he left the Summer Palace angrily and rushed to the imperial city in a sedan chair...

"Report to the prince, Eunuch Li is here, saying that Your Majesty has given you an oral order."

The military and political reforms are all in a lot of matters. Although a large number of people have been mobilized from the Xinjun and the infantry command academy to come to the Summer Palace to obey orders, there are still countless things that Hongqing has to make decisions in person. Under such circumstances, Hongqing was unable to get out of the air. After sending Xunzhu away, Hongqing started to arrange things again. Just when he was busy, Ding Song came in from outside, grabbed Hongqing's side with a few big strides, and reported in a low voice.

"Yeah, I got it."

There was no need to listen at all. Hongqing could guess what the oral order brought by Li Dequan was, and she was very disdainful. However, she did not bring it to her face. She just said quietly and did not rush to go outside the garden gate to receive the order. Instead, she calmly reminded a general who was reporting the matter a few words before, then she stood up and walked slowly towards the garden gate.

"Your Majesty's oral order, Xuan: Prince Ren Hongqing immediately enters the palace to see you, I'm honoring you!"

As expected, as Hongqing expected, the oral orders announced by Li Dequan were only so short, but the meaning was not simple. There is no doubt that Emperor Chengde planned to make the decision for Xunzhu.

"I have received the order to thank you. Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Although I feel so tired, I have to do a lot of effort in big face. No matter how unhappy it is, Hongqing will not leave any complaints about etiquette. As soon as the oral order is announced, she immediately respectfully received the order and thanked her.

"Prince, please, Your Majesty is waiting for the Palace of Peace of Heart."

Hongqing had just gotten up, and Li Dequan rushed forward, bowed and urged him with a flattering smile on his face.

"Well, Eunuch Li, please wait. Can you make some arrangements for me?"

Even though he knew that it would be no good to see Emperor Chengde, he would not openly resist the order in the end. Besides, Hongqing had already had a solution to the situation, but he was not afraid of Emperor Chengde's difficulties. Of course, before going, Hongqing would definitely not neglect the security work. After all, both sides have actually torn apart now, and Hongqing dared not take it lightly.

"The prince just keeps busy if you have something to do, and the old slave is here to wait."

Li Dequan urged him to ask for it, but he didn't have the courage to really talk to Hongqing. At this time, he heard Hongqing's statement, so he didn't dare to have any objections, so he could only be careful with a flattering smile...

Oh, is it really a Hongmen Banquet? Hey, it’s interesting!

Fang Yimen entered the Yangxin Palace and saw Emperor Chengde sitting on his head with a gloomy expression. Li Minquan and Lang Erheng, the two closest military ministers and the second, third, and fourth, were among the princes. As for Xunzhu, they knelt in the hall with fear and fear. The whole hall was full of people who were not against Hongqing. This attitude was obviously not right. There was no doubt that Emperor Chengde was going to play a trick of siege. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have left Ma Qi, Fang Bao, Zhang Tingyu and others.

"My son, please come to see the emperor!"

Even though he was so tired of Emperor Chengde in his heart, Hongqing would definitely not be careless about etiquette in such public occasions. However, seeing that he took a few steps and grabbed the imperial court, he respectfully gave a big gift to worship him.

"Forgive."

Looking at Hongqing's sincere face, Emperor Chengde's mood was already a little darker. He wanted to make Hongqing kneel down and reply, but at the end, he was still not so courageous. After hesitating for a while, he finally shouted reluctantly.

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

Although Emperor Chengde's voice was full of impatientness, Hongqing thanked Enlai, but he was still meticulous and serious, and the rules were so lawless that it could not be found at all.

"I heard that Qing'er and Shangshu Xun had a dispute over the military affairs reform, is there any such incident?"

Although Emperor Chengde did not dare to practice Hongqing in terms of etiquette, he did not intend to make Hongqing have a better time. As soon as Hongqing got up, Emperor Chengde was already frowning.

"It's so true that Emperor Ama learned that there is no argument, it's just some differences."

When Emperor Chengde came up, he was in a tone of accountability. Hongqing sneered in his heart, but he did not express any dissatisfaction. He just explained in a calm voice.

"Difference? Is that true, huh?"

Emperor Chengde called Hongqing so anxiously, just to pull the strait, so how could he restrain himself because of Hongqing's correct attitude and asked coldly.

"If you go back to Emperor Ama, this is the truth. My ministers dare not deceive the emperor in vain words."

Faced with Emperor Chengde's aggressiveness, Hongqing was not angry, nor did she apologize for any humble apology, and responded without changing her face.

"Oh, is that? Humph, Xunzhu, I am so brave, I dare not openly deceive the emperor!"
