Chapter 720: Leveraging Strength (1)
"Back to my father's words, there is indeed such a thing, this morning, Le Shilang came to him, saying that Tang Yao, the prefect of Hangzhou, and others had an excerpt and wanted to impeach him, but he did not go directly to the book, but handed over the excerpt to the child, saying that he would let the child watch and deal with it."
Although he was very unhappy in his heart, but Hongqing Chengfu was deep, but he never brought it to his face, and he bowed slightly, and he explained the reason unhurriedly.
"Well, what are you going to do with it?"
The third master has a lot of eyes and ears in the court, and he already knows the general situation of the matter, and at this time, he listened to what Hongqing said and what he understood is generally correct, so he didn't ask more about the roots, but turned to ask about the solution.
"Father Wang Mingjian, this matter is actually for the child, if it is not handled properly, I am afraid that the court will be rampant, therefore, the child thinks that the words have been in advance, but it cannot be forcibly covered, for this reason, the child to let Qinglian raise six thousand taels of silver, in order to prepare for the return of the stolen goods and even the payment of fines, as for himself, the child plans to let him resign, and the child will send it to the 'Eight Banners Firm', and hand it over to the fifteenth uncle for training, which may be of great use in the future."
Since the third master has a question, Hongqing will not have anything to hide, so he bowed down and explained the general arrangement in detail.
"Well, it's not impossible to deal with it like this, it's just that it's good to settle things, but I'm afraid that Le Xiheng and others may not be willing to appreciate it, and if they have to make an inch, I'm afraid that the future trouble will not be small?"
The third master originally planned to support Hongqing, but when he heard that Hongqing seemed to be ready to back down, he couldn't help but feel a little disapproving, but it was not good to directly say that Hongqing's move was too weak, so he groaned and questioned.
"What my father said is that there has always been only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, and now, a group of children are planning to jump out, and the children simply let them jump enough, and it is good to rectify the order of the officials."
Although what the third master said was vague, Hongqing heard the subtext in his words, and smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was full of sincerity, and he replied softly.
"Oh? What is Qing'er going to do? ”
Hearing that Hongqing had already made a calculation, the third master's interest immediately increased, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.
"Back to his father's words, the child plans to use his strength to fight and become a ......, if so, he will not worry about a group of officials disobeying."
Hongqing smiled confidently, and explained the strategy in detail, and heard the bright colors in the third master's eyes.
"Well, okay, then it's decided, Qing'er just let it go, if there is anything, Ama should be in charge!"
The third master had a bottom in his heart, and his pride was great, and he clapped his hands with great interest, which was regarded as the final decision.
"Father is wise!"
Hearing the third master's permission, Hongqing had to praise it tightly, as for what he felt in his heart, only God could know......
"Lord Yu, Le Shilang is asking to see you outside."
Two days passed quickly, and according to the usual practice, Hongqing was on duty at the Ministry again, and he had just sat down in the office, and before he began to approve the official documents, he saw Li Minxing striding in from outside, and grabbed the copywriter in a few big strides, bowed down, and hurriedly said a word.
"Well, let's go."
Hearing that Le Xiheng came to the door in such a hurry, Hongqing secretly sneered in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, he just called out indifferently.
"Wow!"
Since Hongqing gave such an order, Li Minxing didn't dare to delay a little, so he hurriedly responded, and then left the room, and after a while, he had already accompanied Le Xiheng from outside.
"Xiaguan knocks to see the prince!"
As soon as he saw Hongqing sitting behind the copywriter, Le Xiheng immediately took a few steps and grabbed the copywriter, and it was a big gift to pay homage in a proper manner.
"Le Shilang doesn't have to be formal, come, sit down and say, Feng Ling, serve tea, and bring the jar of Longjing before the rain that this king treasures."
As soon as Le Xiheng knelt down, Hongqing had already gotten up, bypassed the copywriting, reached out very politely, helped Le Xiheng up, and gave it to the reception with a smile on his face, and at the same time, he did not forget to call the little scholar Feng Ling, who was picked out from Xiaoskewer Hutong, to make tea and greet guests.
"The prince is polite, the lower officials really don't dare to be the official, and just stand and reply."
Hongqing is very polite, but Le Xiheng doesn't buy it, no, he is here to force Hongqing this time, since he is not willing to be close to Hongqing for many sets, there is no smile on his flat face, let alone any flattered performance, and he is very angry when he replies.
"Don't worry, don't worry, drink tea first, it's not too late to talk about everything."
Hongqing was a whole head taller than Le Kuheng, and with just one press, he pressed Le Xiheng on the chair without saying anything, and persuaded him with a smile.
"Then thank you for your kindness."
Le Xiheng is just a civil official, how can he withstand Hongqing's strength, he has no choice but to sit down, but the corners of his mouth show a faint sneer, obviously he doesn't intend to give Hongqing a chance to "corrode".
"Come, drink tea, drink tea, this is the best tea that this king has treasured for a long time, if it weren't for Lord Le, this king himself would be reluctant to use more."
Hongqing didn't care about Le Xiheng's expression at all, and laughed and talked nonsense.
"Tea is indeed good tea, but the lower officials have no intention of drinking more, because of the recent chaos in the ministry, the matter of asking for bribes can no longer be delayed, and I also ask the prince to make a decision early, and I am afraid of changes later."
Le Xiheng came to slap his face, he drank the tea, and he felt good, but he didn't intend to inherit Hongqing's love, just took a small sip, and then put the tea bowl on a few beside him, and forced Hongqing seriously.
"Well...... do you think you have to investigate thoroughly?"
As soon as Le Xiheng said this, Hongqing seemed to be enraged, and his face looked a little unpleasant, he frowned unhappily, let out a long breath, and asked coldly.
"Indeed!"
Le Xiheng was not moved by the evil qi that burst out of Hongqing's body, and said a word.
"That's good, it's okay to try the first trial, Lord Le just go and notify the officials above the head of each department to go to the lobby to discuss the matter, no one is allowed to be absent, this king will go and invite Zhang Xiang to come to the town, so it should be done, huh?"
Hongqing was obviously really angry, glared at Le Xiheng coldly, and replied in a blunt tone.
"What the prince said is that the lower officials will do it."
Le Xiheng didn't care about Hongqing's anger, Huo Erren got up, bowed down to answer the promise, turned around, and walked away on his own.
What a thief, there are times when you cry!
Hongqing watched Le Xiheng leave the room with a cold gaze, sneered secretly, didn't stay in the office any longer, got up, walked out slowly, and went directly to Zhang Tingyu's office on the other side.
"Zhang Xiang."
Hongqing is the identity of the assistant prince, although the center is ranked after Zhang Tingyu, but in the ministry, it is just the opposite, of course, Hongqing has always respected Zhang Tingyu, and treated him with a teacher, even if he can directly enter Zhang Tingyu's office, Hongqing has never done this, every time he waits for the Goshha outside to pass through, before he enters Zhang Tingyu's office, but today is an exception, not waiting for the Goshha on duty to say, Hongqing has gone in with a gloomy face, Seeing that Zhang Tingyu was raising his head suspiciously, Hongqing didn't rush to say a reason, but respectfully bowed his hand first.
"Yo, the prince is here, please take a seat."
Although Zhang Tingyu is now a very popular minister, he is the most obedient confidant minister in front of the old man, but he still maintains a humble attitude towards others, even if Hongqing has always treated him with a teacher, he does not dare to call himself a teacher, every time Hongqing comes, he is personally at the door to greet him, at this time I saw Hongqing suddenly come in by himself, his face didn't seem to be very good, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he didn't bring it to his face, but hurriedly got up, and returned the salute humbly, and then, waved his hand again, was about to lead Hongqing to the reception place.
"There's no need to sit, Xiao Wang came here to invite Zhang Xiangsheng to the court."
Hongqing did not go to the reception area, but issued an invitation with a solemn face.
"Ascension? So what's going on? ”
As soon as he heard Hongqing's words, Zhang Tingyu couldn't help but be stunned, and asked suspiciously.
"So that Zhang Xiang knows, three days ago, Le Shilang took a few folds to Xiao Wang, saying that it was Hangzhou Governor Tang Yao and others who impeached Wen Xuan Qing Officials Wai Lang for asking for bribes, involving an amount of as much as 3,000 taels of silver, and asked Xiao Wang to make a statement, originally, Xiao Wang planned to negotiate with Zhang Xiang in advance today, but he didn't want Le Shilang to go to Xiao Wang early in the morning, saying that there were many people in the ministry, and he had to be tried urgently.
Hongqing smiled coldly, and told all the causes and consequences without any scruples, although the tone was still gentle, but there was obviously a strong resentment inside, which made Zhang Tingyu's brows furrow slightly.
"That's it, it's okay, then let's try it for the first trial."
Zhang Tingyu has been in the Ministry of Officials for nearly ten years, although he has always been cautious in words and deeds, but his subordinates are extraordinary henchmen, since he has long heard of the dirty things that Le Xiheng and others have made in private, but he does not intend to meddle in it, but wants to see how Hongqing will deal with it, in his opinion, Hongqing should have taken the method of ending this matter in private, but he didn't expect Hongqing to use the most drastic means such as the trial, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and he was really afraid that Hongqing would make a big fuss about the officials. Since he didn't dare to really let Hongqing let go of the killing, he only hesitated for a moment, and then agreed to Hongqing's proposal.
"That's good, Zhang Xiang, please!"
As soon as Zhang Tingyu's voice fell, Hongqing waved his hand and urged.
"Lord Wang, please!"
Zhang Tingyu shook his head helplessly, and after making a gesture of please, he silently walked outside, Hongqing saw this, and didn't say much, just smiled coldly, raised his feet and followed......
