Chapter 652: The Ambition of the Old Twelve (1)
The old man's will at first glance, it seems that there is nothing strange at all, at most it is a heavier grace, in addition, there is nothing surprising in the literal sense, but the metaphor inside is not simple, this is to tell Hongqing two things, one, that is, the old man already knows that Hongqing has played the trick of "waiting for change" in the handover of the Ministry of Works, and second, it is implying that although Hongqing let go, as long as there is no big fork, the old man will continue.
Hongqing was originally pretending to be sick, this time with the will of the old man, this illness, naturally there is no need to pretend anymore, although he still does not plan to go out, but it is no harm to accept all parties to congratulate him, no, once the news of Hongqing has spread, all the houses have sent people to congratulate him, and several brothers and courtiers who are close to him have rushed to Hongqing's house, and all kinds of gifts can be loaded into several large rooms, of course, most of them are mainly maternal and infant products, too expensive gifts, Hongqing is not accepted.
Ushered in the matter of sending to, Hongqing has never liked it very much, but this kind of superficial kung fu is indispensable for the children of the heavenly family, the so-called human feelings are so, otherwise, a "fake Qinggao" hat is afraid to be buckled on the head, and this, this is obviously not the result that Hongqing is happy to see, because of this, although he is tired and panicked every day, but he should socialize, Hongqing still has to do it, of course, in addition to socializing, Hongqing did not forget to pay attention to the chaos of the Ministry of Industry, waiting for the old twelve to find the door by himself!
The days are like this, day by day, the five-day holiday has passed three days, the people who come to congratulate have become rare, but the old twelve have never seen anyone, except for sending someone to send a congratulatory gift, even the face has never been revealed, this situation is obviously quite weird, but Hongqing doesn't care, there is no other, the old twelve's every move has long been under the close monitoring of the "sharp knife", and his private contact with the fourth master and the eighth master is not very confidential for Hongqing, of course, This is not the fundamental place where the old god of Hongqing is there, there is only one thing that can really make Hongqing sit firmly in the Diaoyutai, that is, Hongqing has the handle of the old twelve in his hand, if he really wants to rectify it, he can do it at any time, but he doesn't have to rush for a while.
"Lord Yu, the king of the county has arrived outside the gate of the mansion, please make it clear."
The time has passed, the sky has already been dark, after dinner, and after teasing the three sons, Hongqing then Shi Shiran went to the study, and there was no official document to deal with, just thinking about reading idle books for a while, but just sat down, the books had not yet been picked up, and saw that Guanyu had hurriedly turned out from behind the screen, and hurriedly grabbed the copywriter, bowed, and hurriedly said a word.
Uh-huh, finally can't help it? Well done!
Hearing that the old twelve was coming, the corners of Hongqing's mouth immediately lifted, revealing a smile full of ridicule, but there was nothing to say, just indifferently ordered: "Open the middle door, and the king will go to greet him in a while." ”
"Wow!"
Since Hongqing had an order, Guanyu didn't dare to be a little lazy, and hurriedly responded to the promise, so he went to arrange relevant matters without mentioning it.
Under the hazy night, two huge air death wind lamps swayed slightly in the wind, and the dim light was gone, reflecting the face of a brown-robed young man not far from the bottom of the steps, but seeing that his face was round, his eyebrows were thick, and the bridge of his nose was high, which was quite heroic, but his eyebrows were full of worry that could not be concealed.
Counting the time, it has been nearly half a month since Yinyi took over the manual department, but the thing has not been done half, not that he doesn't want to, but he can't do it, don't look at the officials below are all respectful on the surface, but all the things that Yinyi ordered to go on, but no one paid a little attention to it, as for the review of the documents, there is nowhere to talk about it, all this is the source of all this, that is Hongqing who he wants to come to visit today, even if he is an elder, he really wants to deal with Hongqing such an "officialdom butcher", Yinyi's heart still can't help but feel a little worried, not for anything else, just because he has a ghost in his heart, he can't help but feel a little panicked.
If possible, Yinyi is actually 120,000 reluctant to come to see Hongqing, for this reason, he is not less private around activities, planning to borrow external forces for use, things have been done in secret, but can not stand the old man's scolding, no side, the Ministry of Industry is now a mess, all kinds of official backlogs, if there is no change, I am afraid that the position of the management department that has not yet covered the heat will fly away, like this situation, Yinyi can not help but be anxious, and he can't help but come to Hongqing to discuss.
"The little nephew has seen the twelfth uncle."
Just when the old twelve were suffering from gains and losses, but when they heard a piercing friction sound, the closed middle door of the Renjun Palace's palace was already wide open, and then he saw Hongqing leading dozens of subordinates out of the door, and a few brisk steps were already in front of the old twelve, and he saluted very respectfully.
"Brother Qing is polite, Uncle should have come early to congratulate him, but he was entangled in all kinds of affairs, and he came late, Brother Qing won't be surprised, right?"
Don't look at the old twelve now it can be regarded as a positive result, the dignified county king, and has the title of the elder brother of the Ministry of Industry, and he is also the number one person in the court, but it is really compared with Hongqing who is about to enter the center, but it is too far away, even as an elder, he did not dare to accept Hongqing's salute with a big stab, but seeing that he hurriedly retreated half a step, he hurriedly bowed down and returned the salute, and his mouth was even more humble with obvious flattery.
"Uncle Twelfth is what you are talking about, you can come in your busy schedule, that is the honor of the little nephew, how dare you have anything strange to say, heh, it's windy outside, Uncle Twelve, please talk inside?"
When it comes to hypocrisy, there are twelve old twelves combined, and that is not Hongqing's opponent, no, I saw Hongqing laugh and pull it, and the words seem to be kind, but in fact, it is honest and unceremoniously stabbed the old twelve.
"Okay, Brother Qing, please."
Busy schedule? The old twelve are busy, but they are all busy, if it is really useful, then he will not be reduced to the place of visiting the palace of Renjun at night, although such a pun is obscure, but the old twelve who have rolled in the deep palace can still hear it, the old face can't help but be red, and he is here to ask for someone, even if there is more dissatisfaction in his heart, there is no room for his old twelve to attack, so he can only be embarrassed to say good, politely waved his hand, and also said the word "please".
"Uncle Twelve, please use tea."
Hongqing introduced the old twelve into the door, but did not go to the inner courtyard, but invited the old twelve to the second hall of the hall, since a group of people hurriedly served the newly brewed fragrant tea, but did not go far, just waited on both sides of the hall, such as not wanting to talk privately, the old twelve's smiling face could not help but be a little frozen, but Hongqing did not pay attention to it, smiled indifferently, stretched out his hand to pick up the tea bowl, towards the old twelve is a comparison, smiled politely.
"Okay, good tea, hehe, don't hide it from Brother Qing, Uncle has been so busy these days that it's hard to even have time to drink tea, there is a backlog of affairs in the Ministry of Industry, and everyone up and down is looking forward to Brother Qing returning to the ministry as soon as possible, alas, it's useless to say that it's all for Uncle, knowing that Brother Qing is inconvenient at the moment, but he still comes to disturb with a shy face, ashamed, ashamed."
Although the old twelve are not outstanding among the brothers, they are educated by the elite, and they have been mixed up in the court for many years, and their faces are as thick as the city wall, even if Hongqing has put on a posture of not wanting to talk privately, but the old twelve still pour bitter water with half-truths and half-truths.
"Tired of the twelfth uncle's hard work, it's really the little nephew's, alas, the little nephew has been working hard for so many years, the body really can't hold on, this disease is fierce, this is not, the little nephew has been lying in bed for eight days, and he hasn't seen a good time here, a few days ago Wang Binkun and Wang Yizheng just gave the little nephew a pulse, saying that it was caused by hard work, and the little nephew wanted to rest a lot, and it would take a few months to get better, Uncle Twelve, look at this ......."
The old twelve will complain, how can Hongqing not, no, the old twelve's voice has just fallen, Hongqing immediately sighed with a bitter face, and unceremoniously sent the old twelve's request back.
"This ......, hehe, Brother Qing is right, let you insist on being sick, and you really can't do it for your uncle, but, alas, it's just that all kinds of matters in the Ministry of Industry are not good to delay anymore, a few days ago, the boy from the fourth brother's family came to him, saying that he was going to help manage those bastards who didn't listen to the call for his uncle, and he thought about it for his uncle, and felt that something was wrong, so he didn't rush to accept it.
Seeing that Hongqing refused to go to the Ministry of Industry to handle the handover, the evil fire in his heart suddenly rose, thinking that he had a holy purpose, and he was not afraid that Hongqing would dare to do anything to himself, so he gritted his teeth and threw out a proposal.
"Cheng, whatever Uncle Twelve says, it's good, the little nephew has no objections, you can just do it yourself."
As soon as he heard the words of the old twelve, Hongqing knew that this old boy was playing a trick of blackmail, no side, the Ministry of Industry is a big fat meat at the moment, how many people are staring, the old twelve is not a generous and kind person, how can it really be that the fat that came to the mouth was given to Hongli, besides, although Hongli is hung in the name of the assistant of the Ministry of Industry, but in the Ministry of Industry there is not even a little foundation, even if he is out, how much effect can he achieve, if it is really useful, why should the old twelve come to such a trick of night visits, of course, The mouth grew on the face of the old twelve, and he could say whatever he liked, but Hongqing didn't mind at all, so he just snorted and responded without a word.
