After he left, Yingge also wrote letters to several Zhejiang officials who were related to him. However, he did not ask them to assist Hongzhou in tracking down people's troubles, but asked them to be careful of Hongzhou and not to talk nonsense in front of him, especially in front of him.
It's about the implementation of the New Deal and the situation where people are causing trouble. Try to deal with it as perfunctory as possible; if you really can't push it away, just grab a few people and give it to him.
Hongli and the others were right in their guess. It was difficult to implement the New Deal in Zhejiang, the rich temporarily repented, and the people provoked and caused trouble. All of this was under the instruction of Yingge, and he was the mastermind behind the scenes.
In order to raise Hongshi to the same height as Hongli, he was forced to let the wealthy households in Henan cooperate with Hongshi to implement the New Deal and cut off a lot of money at once. But he was not willing to accept it. After all, it was just money in vain.
Everyone will feel sad.
If things go well in Zhejiang, the New Deal will be implemented nationwide. By then, his losses will be even more serious than now, and may even be so heavy that he cannot accept it, so after some thought, he decided to start in Zhejiang.
What Yinzhen said before is that both places can successfully implement the New Deal, so that it can be implemented nationwide. If Zhejiang fails, there will be no reason to implement it. Even if Yinzhen wants to implement it forcefully, hundreds of officials will strongly oppose it; and in Zhejiang, there will be strong opposition
The more serious the failure, the more it highlights Hongshi's achievements and makes Yinzhen pay more attention to his son.
It was prompted by these two reasons that he ordered several officials in Zhejiang and their wealthy relatives to join forces to secretly sabotage the New Deal and gather people to cause trouble, so that Li Wei was exhausted and unable to do business.
Originally, this matter went smoothly, but I didn't expect that Hongzhou would be sent to Zhejiang. However, it was not a big deal. I guess Hongzhou couldn't find anything at all, and it was just a waste of time.
However, this also reminded Yingge that the incident in Zhejiang has attracted Hongli's attention, and it is not appropriate to continue the trouble, otherwise the matter will become difficult to end. He has always kept in mind the four principles of "getting it done when it's good".
Just one word, as long as the purpose is achieved.
In early February, half a month after Hongzhou went to Zhejiang, Hongshi returned to Beijing. In order to commend him for his achievements in Henan, Yinzhen ordered Xiaowu to wait in the suburbs with the decree of Jin's appointment as the prince and the prince's clothes.
Waiting for him along with him were many officials who came to welcome Hongshi back to the capital.
Everyone knows that besides returning to Beijing this time, Hongshi will definitely be reused by Yinzhen, who will wipe out Yongzheng's decline in the fifth year, and may even become a candidate for the crown prince. With this kind of mentality, how could they not hurry up?
Come and curry favor!
Hongli was also among these officials, but his mood was much more complicated than these officials. When Hongshi was addicted to flower streets and willow lanes, everyone thought that Hongshi's life was over, especially after the murder case, even if it was later proven that Hongli
Although he didn't kill anyone, it was over, because Yinzhen was extremely disappointed with him and didn't want to see him again. Even if he still bore the title of prince, he could only be a prince who was not ignored at best.
Under such circumstances, Hongshi took the initiative to go to Henan, and in less than a year, he overcame many difficulties and successfully implemented the New Deal. Although it is not known what means he used, but only on the surface.
It's absolutely admirable.
It is said that after three days of separation, people should be treated with admiration. This saying was not enough when applied to Hong Shi. This second brother really gave him a big "surprise".
"Here it comes! The second elder brother is here!" Someone said something, and everyone quickly looked in the direction of his finger. Sure enough, they saw a group of people coming from a distance. The first person on the horse was Hongshi.
"Hurry, go and greet him!" The one who spoke was Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance. He was from Yingge's side. Hongshi was in power, so he was very happy.
After hearing what he said, the officials nodded one after another and walked forward. When they got closer, they cupped their hands and said, "Welcome my second brother back to the capital!"
When Hongshi saw this, he quickly jumped off his horse, helped up the elders in front of him, and said: "My lords, you don't need to be polite. Hongshi really can't stand it when you greet each other like this."
"Second elder brother has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. It is the right thing for us to welcome him. How can we not bear it?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance said with a smile on his face.
"Since Hongshi went to Henan on the order of Emperor Ama, it is his duty to implement the New Deal. How can he dare to talk about merits? If you say this, you are really undermining Hongshi."
Hongshi's humble attitude really surprised the ministers. When he was in the capital before, although Hongshi could not be said to be domineering and rude, it had absolutely nothing to do with humility. It seemed that this time he went out, he was more than just standing.
After gaining great merit, even his temperament has changed. It really feels like he has been completely transformed.
After exchanging pleasantries with the ministers and Yingge, Hongshi glanced around behind him, as if he was looking for someone. When he saw Hongli, a smile appeared on his lips, and he walked over and said:
"Fourth brother, long time no see."
Hongli looked at Hongshi as he walked closer. Nearly a year was not enough for time to leave traces, but he could still find some changes in some subtle places.
When Hongli was looking at him, Hongshi was also looking at Hongli. In the past half year, he had never forgotten the face in front of him. It was Hongli's existence that made him dislike Emperor Ama;
It was the existence of Hongli who took away what should have been his, and in the end actually killed Xiangrong in order to frame the blame on him. Hongli, a despicable and shameless villain...should not be alive in this world at all!
He endured so hard in Henan, but he kept gritting his teeth and persisting, just to take back everything that belonged to him from Hongli, and then let Hongli disappear from this world without leaving even a trace of ashes.
At this moment, Hongshi's heart was full of hatred, but he had indeed improved a lot compared to before. Even though he was full of resentment, his face still remained calm, and even his eyes did not change. When Hongli didn't speak, he smiled and said:
"Why don't you say anything? Is it possible that you don't want me to return to Beijing?"
Hongli's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "What are you talking about, second brother? I'm not even happy that you are back. I was just feeling a little emotional just now, so I don't know how to answer. It's been hard work for the second brother for more than half a year, but the second brother
My hard work has not been in vain. Now in Henan, the whole province is implementing the New Deal, and Huang Ama praised my second brother endlessly."
"Even you make fun of the second brother." After saying this, Hongshi said: "Why don't you see the fifth brother?"
Hongli lowered his eyes and said: "There was trouble in Zhejiang a few days ago. Lao Wu went to Zhejiang on the order of Emperor Ama and will not return until at least one or two months later."
"That's it." When Hong Shi nodded, Xiao Wu came over with a smile and said, "I would like to say hello to the second elder brother. Good luck to the second elder brother."
"Five Eunuchs are exempt from the gift." Hongshi glanced at the bright yellow scroll held in Xiao Wu's hand, and said with some surprise: "Does Huang Ama have a will for me?"
Xiao Wu nodded with a smile and said: "Exactly, second elder brother, please kneel down to receive the order."
