Chapter 983 One-sided court discussion (1)
"The emperor's mother's understanding, the emperor's heart is trained, and the sons are all understanding. In the opinion of the elders, it is a great benefit to the country if they can help with the government. However, the Ministry of Works has a great relationship, but it is necessary to be careful. If the department changes, the elders think that the second brother should be able to do something.
Seeing that Dong E was so resolute, Hongqing was also very unhappy, but she was unwilling to use her ancestral teachings to block Dong E's mouth, so she could only make a tactful suggestion.
"Change another department? How do you say this?"
Dong E was originally unwilling to participate in this father-son dispute. Now, since Hongqing insisted on not letting the second prince go to the Ministry of Works, she was not willing to force herself to suppress her. So she followed Hongqing's words and asked.
"If you want to go back to the emperor, the emperor should be the mastermind. The ministers really dare not make any comments."
As for the second prince, he is a playboy, no matter which department he goes to, it will cause trouble, not to mention that there are the ambitious fourth master and son behind him. As for Yu Hongqing, the best way to deal with it is to let the second brother's bastard get idle, but this is obviously difficult to say. In desperation, Hongqing can only play Tai Chi and push hands.
"Forget it, I will do whatever I love. My mother can't control it and I'm too lazy to care about it. I'll be too tired."
After hearing Hongqing's words, Dong E's willow eyebrows frowned. He looked at Hongqing with a bad expression for a while, but he didn't see Hongqing changing his words. He knew that Hongqing would not give in at all, so he became a little irritable and was too lazy to slap more. He waved his hand without much pleasure and issued an order to expel the guest.
"Yes, my son is leaving."
Even though he knew that Dong E was not very happy, he really had no choice but to give in to this matter. Not to mention that the second prince went to the Ministry of Works, even if he was another younger brother, Hongqing would not agree. This is really unquestionable. Even if it would make Dong E angry, Hongqing had no choice but to bow and bow, then quit the Kunning Palace and go back to the Summer Palace by himself.
"Come on, let's go to Qianqing Palace!"
Looking at Hongqing's back as he was getting farther away, Dong E's heart rolled over for no reason. After sitting in a daze for a while, he came back to his senses. He raised his hand and gave the order a little cold.
"twitter!"
Since Dong E had given some instructions, the lower-ranking men did not dare to neglect them. They agreed to the promise in unison and rushed to arrange them. After a while, Dong E's wind chariot was surrounded by a large group of palace maids and eunuchs, and walked towards the Qianqing Palace...
"Report to Your Majesty, the Empress is here."
In the study room of Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chengde, who had never closed his eyes for almost a night, was paced back and forth in the room with anger, but when he heard a slight sound of footsteps, Li Dequan hurriedly came in from the outsider, but when he saw him snatching Emperor Chengde quickly, he carefully reported.
"Xuan, hurry up!"
The reason why Emperor Chengde never went to Yangxin Palace to discuss matters and summoned various military ministers was to wait for the approval letter from the other end of Dong E. At this moment, he heard that Dong E had arrived, and his mood was in a hurry. But when he saw him wave his hand randomly, he couldn't wait to call him.
"twitter!"
When Emperor Chengde was not right, Li Dequan dared not be negligent at all. He responded quickly and hurriedly left the study room. Without hesitation, he saw that Dong E had turned out from behind the screen in a graceful manner.
"I'm going to see Your Majesty."
Fang turned the screen and saw Emperor Chengde's face flushed abnormally, his eyes were covered with blood. Dong E's mood was a little worse, but he was helpless, so he could only force himself to calm down and walk slowly forward. Following the rules of the court, it would be a blessing.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, what's going on?"
Emperor Chengde was anxious to find out the result, but he didn't even care about etiquette. However, seeing him waved his hands a few times, he asked in a hurry.
"If you say that to your Majesty, Qing'er suggests that Sheng'er go to the nearby department to try his skills. I am not willing to be strong, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to make a decision."
Seeing that Emperor Chengde was out of control, Dong E's heart immediately felt uneasy. However, the matter was so serious that she dared not hide anything, so she could only shake her head bitterly and give a simple answer.
"What? This vilified son, I, I... Forget it, thank you for your hard work, let's come here first. Let's go back first."
If anyone in the palace could make Hongqing afraid, then it would be the only one of Dong E. Emperor Chengde had great hope for this, but he didn't expect that Dong E could not make Hongqing make concessions. In disappointment, the hostility in his heart could no longer be suppressed. He jumped and cursed. However, he suddenly saw Dong E's eyebrows standing upside down, and it was obvious that he was on the verge of an outbreak. Emperor Chengde's "timidity" was on the spot. He hurriedly stopped and smiled awkwardly, and then he tried to send him away after comforting Dong E a few words.
"Your Majesty wants to stop yourself, I will take your leave first."
Looking at Emperor Chengde's embarrassing and bitter smile, Dong E's heart, which was already uncomfortable, suddenly became even more sad. But he also knew that this was the true face of the Tian family's politics. No matter how she persuaded her, there would be room for ease in the fight between the father and son. Since it was useless to say more, Dong E didn't want to get involved anymore. After leaving a cold word, he left.
"I can't let go of my slander, huh, come here, call Li Minquan for me!"
After Dong E said this, Emperor Chengde's old face turned red in an instant, and the anger in his heart surged higher and higher. After a long breath, he suddenly burst out. However, when he saw his feet stomping his feet, he roared with a ferocious expression. He was so scared that all the eunuchs who were attending him were frightened...
"The emperor has met the prince."
"Brother, morning."
"Brother Qing'er is here."
...
As Chen hour approached, the Southern Dynasty room was full of people. Not only men of the old and young generations could come, but all the officials from the court above the first rank were also here. But when they saw dozens of people divided into dozens of small circles, they were laughing and chatting, and were making trouble. However, they heard footsteps sounding. Hongqing, who was neatly dressed in court uniforms, walked into the room. As soon as they saw this, all the people immediately stood up and greeted each other in a mess. Even the Fourth Master, who had always been cold-faced and cold-hearted, dared not ignore it. A few slightly stiff smiles were squeezed out on his flat face.
"You guys are kind, and you're all at will."
There were too many people saying hello at the same time. It was obviously unlikely to give him a gift one by one. Hongqing could only smile and bow in a row. He said politely, and then he said he was the gift.
"Brother Qing, come here. Brother Fifteen is looking for you if you have something to do."
Now that Hongqing is more and more powerful, his majesty is getting heavier. Everyone dares not show any signs of beauty in front of him. However, Lao Sixteen's carefreeness is as always, and he laughs and holds Hongqing's hand and pulls it aside.
"Uncle Fifteen, is there something wrong with the other end of the 'Eight Banners Trading'?"
Hongqing had long been accustomed to the reckless behavior of Lao Shiliu, and would not be dissatisfied with it. She let him pull him to a corner of the room, and sat around Lao Shiliu casually, and asked with a smile.
"Well, the Kingdom of Great Britain sent another envoy, saying that the port had been built in Temasek, and I was waiting for my "Eight Banners Trading" to trade. This is a big deal, and you must come up with an idea, Brother Qing."
Lao Shiwu has never been a talkative person, nor has he polite nonsense, and he simply stated the reason.
"Well, these guys are moving very fast enough. Since that's the case, let's do it according to the agreement first."
When Hongqing heard what Lao Fifteen said, he was stunned. It was only two years later. The Kingdom of Great Britain had taken down Temasek, which originally belonged to the Netherlands, and built a dock. The speed was really shockingly fast, which shows how eager the country was to trade with the Qing Dynasty. This was a good thing for the Qing Dynasty. At least from the moment, Hongqing would not have any objections, and he gave a reply very happily.
"Um."
Since Hongqing had made a decision, Lao Fifteen no longer swears. He whispered lightly, and even agreed.
"Uncle Fifteen, except for the allocation of the funds from the development fund and the use of bridge construction, the remaining costs will be put aside. The specific reasons will be discussed in detail now."
The development of trade with the Kingdom of Great Britain is certainly a good thing, but there is a crisis hidden in it. This is nothing else. The larger the trade volume with the Western powers, the greater the trade deficit of the Qing Dynasty, and the more severe the financial blood loss of the Western powers, and it will inevitably lead to war in the end. Hongqing knew very well in this, but Hongqing could not judge a rough idea of when a decisive battle between the East and the West would break out. It is necessary to prepare for it. It involves a lot of things, and it is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words. At this time of dynasty, Hongqing did not have the time to calculate the final details, so he could only give a simple reminder.
"Go to court, go to court..."
