Chapter 763: Mouse Trap (1)

A large-scale military exercise, finally the Grand Duke Gagarin and other old Maozi who came to China were all shocked, of course, this is only temporary, after all, Grand Duke Gagarin is not the emperor of Russia, as for Peter the Great, such an eloquent person, but it is absolutely impossible to be intimidated by such a threat, in Hongqing's view, Peter the Great will not only not be friendly to the Qing Dynasty because of this, but may provoke it to move the strategic focus to the east, nothing else, because of the strength of the Qing Dynasty, for Russia, it is obviously not a good thing, Containment is inevitable, but when it comes to Peter the Great's specific contingency measures, Hongqing doesn't dare to make a conclusion, because Hongqing has not seen Peter the Great himself, and all he knows is some information he has seen in time and space in his previous life, and the accuracy is really difficult to guarantee, but in any case, it is a good thing for Hongqing to be able to stabilize Grand Duke Gagarin for a period of time.

As soon as the military exercise was completed, the follow-up negotiations with Grand Duke Gagarin and his entourage were extraordinarily smooth, and it was only two days, and Lang Erheng, who presided over the overall situation of the negotiations, submitted an empty so-called peace and friendship agreement to Hongqing, which contained nothing but rhetoric, and there was no substantive content, in fact, the agreement that was more than ten pages thick can be summed up in one sentence, that is, the big guy's well water does not violate the river water, as for the binding force, it cannot be said that there is no, but it is almost zero, in this regard, Hongqing, who didn't care about it at all, would not have any objections, and with a wave of the pen, it could be regarded as a sign and approval, and the old man did not say anything, so such a matter could be regarded as a revelation in such a dull situation.

Time flies, in a blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and the New Year is going to be celebrated again, the excerpts sent by the various ministries have gradually thinned, and Hongqing, who has been busy for a whole year, can finally get a few days of leisure, of course, this kind of leisure is just relative, there are still more than 100 excerpts poured into the inner court every day, and in the end they still have to be approved by Hongqing Zhu to be able to calculate things, but compared with the usual hundreds of excerpts per day, it is indeed a lot less, Hongqing disposes of it, and it is easy to do so.

"Lord Wang, Your Majesty has transferred a copy of the Zhu Batch Fold, please take a look at it."

God obviously can't see Hongqing relaxed, no, he's been busy all morning, and finally finished processing the day's official documents, Hongqing is thinking about stealing back, but a lazy waist hasn't been stretched yet, I saw Zhang Zhao turned out from behind the screen with a strange expression, hurriedly grabbed the copywriter, shook his hand, took out a yellow silk masked fold from the wide sleeve, and respectfully handed it to Hongqing.

Well? What a look on this guy's face!

Seeing that Zhang Zhao's expression was not right, Hongqing's brows were even a wrinkle, but he didn't say much, just nodded indifferently, and reached out to take the fold without saying a word, and opened it to see, the originally slightly frowning brows suddenly wrinkled into a big "Sichuan" word, there is no other, the fold is actually the impeachment of Liang Xuwen, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, for corruption and perversion of the law, not only the bribery of his ministry in office, but also the old matter of favoritism and perversion of the law when he was in charge of Henan Province, There is a long list of charges, and there is even the old man's Zhu criticism below, which Hongqing will deal with as appropriate.

Discretionary disposal? It's not that good!

Hongqing looked at the excerpt very quickly, and went through it at a glance, but he didn't put the excerpt down, but closed it, held it in his hand, and weighed it gently, his face seemed calm as usual, but in fact, his heart was already tumbling, no side, Liang Xuwen was the third master's confidant, and he was able to get mixed up with the high position of the eight living houses now as a mere person, all because of the third master's efforts behind his back, and now he is involved, regardless of whether the charges listed are true or not, Hongqing will be in a dilemma - don't check? The meaning of the old man's head is unknown, maybe there is an ambush here, check? At present, there is already a gap between Hongqing and the third master, and then go to check Liang Xuwen in a big way, and add to the blockage of the third master, I am afraid that the discord between father and son will not be further aggravated, this is obviously not a situation that Hongqing is happy to see, let alone if the fact that Liang Xuwen is greedy for ink is really found, the reputation of the third master will inevitably be greatly affected, but it is not good to go to the old man to ask for a charter at this time, there is no doubt that this matter is tricky!

"Is there anything to explain at the Majesty?"

Under the rat trap, Hongqing didn't dare to make a decision lightly, and after frowning and thinking for a while, he raised his eyebrows and asked indifferently.

"Back to the prince's words, the lower officials have never seen His Majesty, this fold was transferred by Li Dequan and Li Gonggong."

Hearing Hongqing's question, Zhang Zhaozi didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly bowed down, and replied cautiously.

"Well, this king knows, so let's step back first."

For Hongqing, it is really not a good thing for the old man not to explain, just because this means that Hongqing must make a decision by himself, of course, the consequences caused by it must also be borne by Hongqing himself, in this regard, Hongqing knows very well, but he is helpless, and he does not want Zhang Zhao, who is not a confidant, to see through his own difficulties, so he quietly whispered, waved his hand, and gave an order to expel the guest.

"Wow!"

Hearing Hongqing's order, Zhang Zhaozi didn't dare to linger any longer, so he responded respectfully, took a few steps backwards, and then turned around and retreated.

Tao Yi? Could it be that Wang Luo is an old fashioned man who is making trouble behind his back?

After Zhang Zhao retired, Hongqing did not go to read the excerpt again, but in his mind, he passed the content of the excerpt again, and the final attention still fell on the body of Tao Yi - Tao Yi, Kangxi was born in the thirty-ninth year of Jinshi, and has always been an official in the court, and almost all of his twenty-year official career has served in the household department, first as a director for five years, and then as a member of the outer lang for five years, Kangxi was promoted to Langzhong in the forty-ninth year, and this time was another seven years, until the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi was transferred to the Yushitai as the supervisor of Guangxi Province. The official fortune can be described as extremely poor, compared to Zhang Tingyu, who is on the same list as the Jinshi, it can be said that it is a difference between one day and one place, Hongqing does not know much about his person, only that he is Wang Liang's protégé, when Wang Bang moved to impeach Hongqing before, Tao Yi is also one of the co-founders, and this, it is inevitable that Hongqing will associate this bullet with Wang Shu's body.

In the past year, the old man has been very few directors, except for the review of the new army at the end of April, he has not appeared in public again, and he is generally recuperating in Changchun Garden. But if you want to meet it, it is impossible, in fact, if no one helps to hand over the badge, it will definitely not be able to reach the front of the emperor, there is no doubt that there are only six scholars who can have this ability, and the suspicion of Wang Yu is naturally the greatest.

Wang Liang's suspicion is the greatest, but in the end, is it what he did, Hongqing did not dare to make an assertion, after all, since the beginning of the gambling contract cashed, Wang Luo has rarely found trouble with Hongqing, and the excerpts copied every day are no longer directly forwarded to the imperial review, but sent to Hongqing first, and there is rarely a delay in the things assigned by Hongqing, although every time I see Hongqing, I don't have a good face, but I don't speak ill of each other, and generally follow the principle of doing business, if you look at it from this point of view, He is already convinced of Hongqing's ability to govern, and there seems to be no reason to make such a plot again, but if it wasn't him, who would it be? Of course, no matter who did it, the matter has happened, and what is in front of Hongqing is a dilemma, how to break this situation, which really bothered Hongqing......

"Resignation."

There are two flowers, one for each, not to mention that Hongqing is frowning and thinking hard in the Tibetan Zhai, but saying that the old man in a bright yellow brocade robe is sitting in front of a few sons and talking with Fang Baoshou, and he is fighting fiercely for chess, but he saw Li Dequan quietly walking in, sticking to the old man's ear, and whispering a word, even though he saw the old man's slightly frowning brows, he had quietly opened the golden mouth.

"Wow!"

Hearing the old man's instructions, Li Dequan didn't dare to slack off, responded respectfully, and hurriedly retreated.

"Wechen knocks to see His Majesty."

As soon as Fang turned the screen, Zhang Zhao rushed forward, and respectfully paid a big salute.

"Well, have you sent all the excerpts?"

The old man didn't call out, didn't even look at Zhang Zhao, just whispered noncommittally, and asked indifferently.

"If you return to your majesty, it has been sent to the king of Renjun."

Zhang Zhao's heart was actually full of suspicions, but how could he dare to be rude in front of the old man, so he could only suppress the apprehension in his heart and replied cautiously.

"Well, what did your prince say?"

The old man snorted without being salty, but did not comment, but asked in a flat voice.

"Your Majesty, King Renjun didn't say anything about it."

Zhang Zhao couldn't guess what the holy intention was at all, so he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, so he just replied cautiously and truthfully.

"Oh? I know, and I'm tired. ”

The old man still didn't say much, just nodded casually, and then gave the order to expel the guest.

"Yes, Weichen retires!"

Zhang Zhaoben was still waiting for the old man's further instructions, but he didn't expect the old man to say anything, even if he was stunned, he didn't dare to delay more, kowtowed respectfully, and retreated, and the doubts in his heart inevitably became a little stronger, after being in a daze outside the door of Ruijingxuan, he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet fiercely, and strode towards Zang Zhuozhai......
