When Zilharang heard this, his face changed, and he snorted lightly: "There is an insinuation in what Master Hong said...... There is a way that true people don't tell lies in front of them, and Scholar Hong can explain them more clearly. ”

Hong Chengchou laughed dryly, lowered his eyebrows, and said, "I heard...... The head of the water division, Sha Erhudai, is the man of the uncle...... Hong also heard that there were more than 6,800 people registered in the Navy Battalion, but in fact, there were only more than 3,000 people...... Hong even heard that there were 80 boats, 130 ox tongue rows, and 340 grain ships, but in fact, less than half of them were ....... ”

Hearing this, Zilharang's face changed greatly, but his tone was still strong: "The Water Master Battalion is the top secret of our dynasty, and the two scholars dare to send someone to spy on it...... This king wants to impeach you and other ...... to the emperor. ”

Fan Wencheng snorted and said, "Of course, the prince can impeach me to the emperor...... It's just that when the war was about to break out, I don't know if the emperor would investigate us first, or if he would investigate the fraud of the sailor first...... At that time, how will the prince explain such a foolish thing as the water master to the emperor first? ”

Zilharang's cheeks rose and fell for a while, and he said with a fierce expression: "Water Master...... Even if there is something forbidden for the water master, then ...... What does that have to do with this king? ”

Hong Chengchou sighed with pity, "Since the uncle denies that Sha'er Hudai is your person...... This matter is easy to do, early tomorrow morning, Hong will enter the palace to report to the emperor Sha'er Hudai, according to the law to investigate thoroughly! ”

Zilharang glared at the two of them with a frown, and suddenly smiled, "It seems that the two scholars have misunderstood this king...... When the sailor was founded, the northerners were not good at water, and it was difficult to recruit them, so it was common for them to have fewer soldiers...... In this way, the king sent people to apply for the Shahrhu Dynasty, and ordered him to replenish the soldiers and intensify the training within a time limit, so as not to miss the war. ”

Speaking of this, Zilharang smiled even more, "Don't hide it from the two scholars, in fact, this king has also heard some rumors...... For example, the two of them had private transactions with the imperial merchants in the past three or five years...... For another example, the amount of silver that two scholars invested in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce in the name of others...... Oh, this king forgot, I'm afraid the emperor doesn't know about this yet, or will I not know if this king will accompany the two scholars into the palace early in the morning? ”

Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng's faces changed drastically, and after glancing at each other, Hong Chengchou smiled strongly: "...... In that case, that must be a misunderstanding. ”

Zilharang asked, "Is it really a misunderstanding?" ”

"Naturally, I misunderstood...... I want to follow Taizu and the first emperor so far, and for decades before and after, I have made great achievements vividly...... How can they do things like empty salaries and greedy for ink painters' special funds? Fan Wencheng said in a strange manner.

Zilharang is naturally-for-tat, "The two scholars have read the books of the sages, and they will not do anything to extort money, enrich their own pockets, or deceive the king...... Misunderstand? ”

"Misunderstanding!"

"Naturally, it was a misunderstanding!"

"Haha...... Ha ha...... Hahahaha. ”

The three of them laughed in unison, this is simply an unexpected reunion of old friends who have not seen each other for many years.

……。

In the Qing court, the deceit of several forces was nothing more than a conflict of interests between vested interest groups.

Although it slowed down the Qing court's response, the armament was still proceeding smoothly.

At the same time, the capital and the surrounding prefectures and counties quickly carried out the investigation of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

The brutal Qing soldiers swept away the chamber of commerce's offices and shops in various prefectures and counties in an almost plundering manner, and all of them were charged with collusion and fornication, trade prohibition, and business disorder.

This turmoil was not transferred by the private transactions of Zilharang, Hong, Fan and others.

Their private dealings only ensured to some extent that their own interests would not be lost due to this incident, and as for the rest, they naturally would not care.

This inventory is actually to collect money, but this time it is not an individual or a group of people to collect money, but a means for the imperial court to fill the treasury to deal with the war.

While the inventory was in full swing, an even bigger change occurred.

……。

Bolo, back to Beijing.

It's like a bombshell thrown into Suncheonfu.

Its potential energy has triggered a tsunami, which cannot be underestimated.

It stands to reason that Bolo has been imprisoned for several years, and the power he can influence can be said to have been reduced to a minimum.

It is said that people go to tea and cool, whether it is an official, a prince, or even an emperor, if you leave the center of power to try, after a year, I am afraid that no one will remember.

But Bolo is different, he is the grandson of Nurhachi, the son of Abatai, the king of Raoyu County, the Qing court did not deprive Bolo of the prince, and to this day, he is still the serious king of Doro County in the Qing court.

This means that Bolo can return to the political center without any scruples, and he doesn't even need Fulin's nod, which, of course, is needed to draw power.

But one thing, after Dolgon's death, his henchmen were suppressed and liquidated by Zilharang and Hong Fan and others, although a large number of officials were liquidated, but there were always a number of people who were saved in various ways and reasons.

These people are just forced to choose to lie dormant because of the situation, but in their hearts, they can never forget their hatred, let alone their former high positions.

Bolo's arrival gave them hope and gave them space for reverie.

It's not that they are loyal to Bolo, they are only loyal to themselves, Bolo is just a tool for them to realize their "ambitions" in their hearts, but this does not prevent them from quickly uniting around Bolo, and in just a few days, Bolo has become a force to be reckoned with in the Shuntian Mansion and a dazzling "star" that people look up to.

……。

Wuying Palace.

In a high-pitched tone, Bolo admonished Fulin.

"Your Majesty...... Now that the war is urgent, the emperor is very wise to expand the new army, but the minister thinks that at this time, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce will not only not ease the constraints of the treasury, but also cause civil opposition, and even, because of the interests, the North Chamber of Commerce secretly threw itself to the south...... Moreover, what the Queen Mother had discussed before, it was beneficial to both the Sheji and the Temple, and the minister implored the emperor to welcome the Queen Mother to discuss politics! ”

No one dares to say this, especially in front of Fulin.

Even Zilharang didn't dare.

But Bolo, dare.

Fu Lin's face was gloomy, at this time, I am afraid that what Fu Lin thought about the most was "why didn't Wu Zheng cut this guy with a knife".

Bolo's suggestion, in Fulin's view, is a rebellion, he wants to invite the queen mother to discuss politics, it is completely to form a political alliance with the queen mother, so as to seize the imperial power and put himself in a puppet situation.

But Fulin couldn't have a seizure, one Bolo was his cousin, to put it mildly, according to the ancestral system, Bolo was also qualified to sit in his position.

Second, Bolo moved out of the queen mother as a shield, who is the queen mother, his biological mother, the queen mother of the Qing Dynasty, can he have a seizure?
