"The child knocks to his father! I've seen the Master, I've seen Mr. Li. ”

Although the messenger is almost done, but Hongqing did not dare to report to the old man in a hurry, of course, there are still some reasons why the end of the hand has not been concluded, and more is that this result must be agreed by the third master, there is no other, the family of Prince Cheng's Mansion is the third master, not Hongqing, and it is not Hongqing's turn to make the final decision in major matters, because of this, after returning to the house after work, Hongqing went straight to the inner courtyard study of Prince Cheng's mansion, and when he saw the third master who was already sitting behind the copy, Hongqing immediately walked a few steps, Grabbed the front, respectfully a big salute to pay homage.

"Excuse me, sit down."

The reason why the third master went back to the house early today is naturally because Hongqing sent someone to deliver the words, although he has an understanding of the general progress of the situation, but it is not very specific, and there are many doubts in his heart, but the third master is deep in the city, and he will not be in a hurry to get to the bottom of it.

"Thank you for your father's throne."

In front of the third master, Hongqing has always been very well-behaved, even if he has made a lot of contributions, he will never be proud of his achievements, and this time is naturally no exception, after humbly thanking him, he got up and walked to the back of a few sons on the side, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down.

"Qing'er, let's talk about it, how are the envoys doing?"

The third master was obviously extremely satisfied with Hongqing's ability and humble attitude, but when he saw him, he smiled with satisfaction and asked calmly.

"Back to the words of the father, thanks to the grace of the emperor Marfa, all the things went smoothly, today the child went to find the fourth uncle and the eighth uncle, and the two uncles did not give up, and the child has been allowed to ask, the thing is like this......"

Since the third master had a question, Hongqing didn't dare to slack off a little, so he bowed down busily, and babbled in detail about the negotiation with the fourth master and the eighth master, and there was nothing to hide.

"Well, okay, Qing'er's errand is doing well, and finally asked a group of children to lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot, which is really cool, and now that the overall situation has been decided, there is nothing wrong with returning to Huang Ama like this, Master, Zicheng, do you two have any advice?"

Hearing that the two old opponents were deflated under Hongqing, the third master was in a good mood, no, Hongqing's voice had just fallen, and the third master was already high-fived and cheered.

"The prince is wise, and his subordinates think that this is the best result, so they will return to Your Majesty, and there should be no mistakes."

Seeing that the third master was so happy, Li Minquan was happy to flatter, but as for the business, he didn't think much about it.

"Do you have any thoughts on the allocation of funds from the Ministry of Industry?"

Old Master Chen obviously had different opinions, and did not echo the third master's "high opinion", but frowned, looked at Hongqing with a solemn face, and asked meaningfully.

"This ......"

As soon as he heard Old Master Chen's strange question, Hongqing couldn't help but be stunned, there was no other, not only had he broken the bureau set up by the fourth master and the eighth master, but also proved that the household department was not too short of silver, Hongqing took it for granted that the silver of the Ministry of Industry should not be used, but at this time, Old Master Chen asked like this, obviously the taste was a little wrong, and Hongqing couldn't understand the true meaning of Old Master Chen's question for a while.

"Master, since there is no shortage of silver in the Ministry of Households, it seems that there is no need to transfer silver from the Ministry of Works?"

The third master also heard something strange, and when he saw Hongqing speechless for a long time, he was a little unable to hold his breath, so he interrupted from the side.

"If the prince really thinks like this, he will not be far from defeat!"

Old Master Chen's eyelids rolled, and he gave a rather alarmist judgment without being very angry, which immediately made the third master so embarrassed that his face instantly turned red, but he was afraid of this strict master in his heart, although he was very unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare to refute it, so he could only remain silent helplessly.

Well, I see, it's dangerous!

Among the three, it is Hongqing's mind that moves the fastest, just when the third master is still embarrassed, Hongqing has already figured out the basis of the old master Chen's assertion, and the cold sweat instantly flowed wildly, there is no other, it is too much to hear - the third master is already powerful, the second department of rites and works is in the hands, there is the old sixteen at the end of the criminal department, and there is the old thirteen in the military department. The old man may not say much at the moment, but there must be a thorn buried in his heart, and the consequences must not be easy to play.

"What the master said is very true, I am afraid that the money of the Ministry of Works cannot be kept."

Although Hongqing was the first to see the seriousness of the problem, he did not open his mouth to explain, but Li Minquan, who realized the true meaning of it a little later, echoed the sentence with sweat in his head.

"Huh? Where does this come from? ”

Although the third master is also a shrewd person, but over the years, the pattern is small but there has never been too much improvement, the overall situation is a little worse, and the judgment of the current situation is naturally lackluster, at this point, he still hasn't seen through the core of the problem, he doesn't dare to question Old Master Chen, but for Li Minquan, there are not so many scruples, but seeing that the third master frowned, he already asked with displeasure.

"Back to the words of the prince, the sacred heart has been changeable since ancient times, and it is necessary to prevent the tree from making a big move."

Although Li Minquan saw the subtlety of the situation, the key was really dark, and even at such a time of secret discussion, he did not dare to say it too thoroughly, and could only hint at it programmatically.

"This ......, well, yes, Qing'er, in your opinion, how should the Ministry of Industry dispose of that money?"

The third master is a smart person in the end, as soon as Li Minquan's hints came out, he reacted immediately, and immediately saw sweat on his forehead, and he didn't dare to stick to his own opinions, so he groaned and threw the problem to the silent Hongqing.

"Back to his father's words, the child entrusted the thirteenth uncle a few days ago to complete the Western Front military strategy, although it is only some programmatic planning, but quite manipulative, if you go according to this, next year's military spending is not small, but the year after tomorrow can be reduced, originally only relying on the national treasury silver and the court income can be used, now, is to hand over the silver of the Ministry of Industry, the child thinks that there are two feasible strategies, one is to make it slightly easier for this, and the Ministry of Industry can be allocated military spending, but the earlier handling of this strategy is many, forced to be easier, I am afraid that there is a risk of self-defeating, so I must not be careless; Therefore, the child thinks that it seems more prudent to directly allocate all the income of the Ministry of Industry to the treasury, as for the construction of roads and rivers, the twelve uncles can put forward relevant plans by themselves, and whether they approve or not, they are all decided by Huang Ma Fa, so that the overall situation may be guaranteed. ”

Since he has realized that the Ministry of Industry cannot keep his income, Hongqing will not hesitate at all, and after a little groaning, he has already given two solutions.

"Well, Master, Zicheng, what do you two think?"

After the third master carefully went through the two strategies of Hongqing in his heart several times, he had already made a decision, but the matter was big, but the third master was unwilling to express his attitude easily, so he threw the question to the two strategists Chen and Li in a deep groan.

"Lord Mingjian, my subordinates think that the second strategy is better, although the first strategy is also feasible, but after all, the traces of covering up are too heavy, which will inevitably cause taboos, but the second strategy seems to be straightforward, but in fact, it is more frank and selfless, and the superior strategy is also."

Li Minquan is a resourceful person, and he is good at observing his face, how could he not see what the third master thinks, and when he responds to it, he is in a hurry to vote for the third master's favor.

"Well, what Zicheng said is very true, Master, what do you think?"

The third master originally chose the second strategy, and when he heard Li Minquan's suggestion, he was a little more sure in his heart, but for the sake of prudence, he still threw the problem to Old Master Chen.

"Just the second strategy."

Old Master Chen is still always like gold, and in the face of the third master's sincere inquiry, he did not analyze it in detail, so he just gave an answer concisely.

"Well, that's good, it's settled, and Qing'er will handle this matter."

Hearing that Old Master Chen also had this opinion, the third master didn't talk any more, slapped his hands, and settled the matter with a smile.

"Yes, the boy obeys."

Since the third master had made a decision, Hongqing didn't dare to delay it slightly, so he hurriedly bowed down and respectfully agreed to the promise......

"Your Majesty's oracle, Xuan, Renjun Wang Hongqing, meet in the Heart Cultivation Palace!"

Hongqing has always been a decisive person to kill, since he has made a decision, he will not hesitate, even if there are actually two days before the deadline for doing the errand, but Hongqing still arrived outside the imperial city early the next morning after everything was agreed, and not long after the sign was handed in, he saw Qin Wuyong leading two little eunuchs to hurry over and announce the old man's will.

"There is Lao Qin's father-in-law."

As soon as Hongqing thanked him, he got up, and casually flicked a folded silver ticket into Qin Wuyong's sleeve, and after a polite word, he didn't say much, and walked slowly in the direction of the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, although his steps were as steady as in the past, but there was a faint worry between his eyebrows, there was no other, the old man was extremely shrewd, and he couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, even if he had done his homework here, but whether he could pass the pass smoothly was still between the two, if it was a careless response, aroused the suspicion of the old man, the seriousness of the consequences is not a fun thing, Rao is Hongqing has always been brave and overlooked, and it is inevitable that there will be some gains and losses at this time.

Oh, it's really that the older the rivers and lakes, the less courage you have, no matter what, just wait and see!

The closer he got to the Heart Cultivation Palace, the more apprehensive Hongqing's mood became, but after this tension accumulated to a certain extent, Hongqing let go, but seeing that he shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, his feet unconsciously became a little lighter......
