Chapter 449: Blowing Up (2)
"Starling."
The weather in late October is already a little cold, especially after the dark and the wind rises, the temperature is a few degrees lower, but the West Warm Pavilion of the Eighth Master's Mansion is warm as spring, the eighth, ninth, and thirteenth masters together with Lu Chunyan gathered around a few sons, while drinking lightly, while chatting, just when the wine was in full swing, but heard a sound of footsteps at the entrance of the building, everyone followed the sound, and immediately saw the fourteenth master turned out of the ladder with a flat face, dragged his feet to the side of a few sons, and greeted the eighth master sullenly, Then he sat down heavily on the futon.
"Old Fourteen, you kid is the last to arrive, yes, don't talk nonsense with you, come, punish yourself three cups first!"
Lao Shi was obviously in a good mood today, and he didn't care what kind of expression Lao Fourteen was, he put a jar of wine in front of Lao Fourteen, laughed and shouted.
"Hmm."
The old fourteen is in a very bad mood, in fact, since the end of May in front of many courtiers lost the competition, the old fourteen no longer have a smile on his face, these days, but also have to support the overall situation in the military department, for the old thirteen training in the Beigukou to raise all kinds of baggage, the old fourteen really can't find any reason to be happy, for the old ten's ridicule, naturally too lazy to care, sullenly answered, a handful of picked up the wine jar, knocked out the mud, and did not pour the wine into the wine bottle in front of him, Holding the wine jar is a wild pour.
"Hahaha......, okay, the old fourteen is the old fourteen, it's refreshing enough!"
Lao Shi is a cannon barrel character, he has always only cared about his own happiness, but he doesn't care what Lao Fourteen's mood is, especially when the wine is slightly drunk at this time, there is no taboo, but seeing his big mouth, he has already picked up his thumb and laughed wildly.
"The tenth brother is going to mess around, the fourteenth brother, drinking too much hurts the body, and it's better to drink less."
Seeing that Lao Shi was a little too troubled, the ninth master couldn't see it, so he frowned, stopped Lao Shi's nonsense unhappily, and persuaded Lao Fourteen kindly.
"Hmm."
Lao Fourteen didn't pay attention to Lao Shi's laughter, nor did he pay attention to the kindness of the ninth master, but just whispered noncommittally.
"Fourteenth brother, you should have heard about it, the Ministry of Industry has made a big move today, and this is going to change the money law, now the Beijing division has been fried, and in a few days, as soon as the local officials know about it, they are afraid that they will not be attacked, this fun, hey, it is really a big fuss."
Seeing that Lao Fourteen was still depressed, Lao Jiu had no choice but to bring out the affairs of the Ministry of Industry today, intending to use this to lead to Lao Fourteen's words.
"The plan to delay the army, why worry about it."
Lao Jiu's good intentions did work, but this effect was obviously not very big, and Lao Fourteen just rolled his eyelids, commented simply, and then closed his mouth again.
"Huh?"
"What?"
……
As soon as Lao Fourteen's words came out, Lao Jiu and Lao Shi were stunned for a moment, no side, they still couldn't see through the truth behind the big drama in the Ministry of Industry today, just staying on the surface of watching the excitement, but the eyes of the eighth master flashed a trace of essence quickly, but there was no side expression, just smiled indifferently.
"Old Fourteen, what do you mean by this, why do you get more confused the more you listen to it?"
Lao Shi was rough-tempered, and after waiting for a while, seeing that Lao Fourteen had no intention of explaining, he was a little out of breath, so he hurriedly asked a question.
"It's hard to guess this, isn't it that Hongqing Xiaoer is reluctant to give up the authority of the Ministry of Works, and is trying to find some trouble for Hongli to do during the Eastern Crusade."
The old fourteen originally had a good personal relationship with Hongqing, but since he was cheated by Hongqing in the last fight for the handsome position, now when he mentions this, he is full of resentment, and the tone of his speech has become more scathing.
"Grandma is a bear, dare to love this bastard with such an idea, hey, he went to make his own war exploits, but let me wait here and not live in peace, so vicious! No, this matter can't make that kid proud! ”
Lao Fourteen has already said it so clearly, Lao Shi will not not understand, this understanding of what is going on, the heart suddenly jumped up, blushing and slapping a few times with a thick neck, and scolded angrily.
"Well, although the tenth brother's words are rough, but they are quite reasonable, this matter really can't go against the kid's will, and besides, if the money law reform goes on like this, the dogs below will not make trouble, and I am afraid that it will not end well, so I simply messed up the matter when the court discussed, and saved the little bastard for nothing!"
Lao Jiu was careful, and he naturally considered the problem much more deeply than Lao Shi, but in the end, he came to the same conclusion as Lao Shi, and he did not intend to let the reform of the money law pass the court discussion.
"Difficult!"
The old fourteen still looked lifeless, and in the face of the generous statements of the two brothers, he just touched his lips up and down, and spit out a word expressionlessly.
"Old Fourteen, you kid will make it clear, what time is this, and you are still playing very mysterious."
Lao Shi was obviously fed up with the yin and yang weirdness of Lao Fourteen, and his heart was angry, so he buried it angrily.
"Ten brothers are good at thinking about why Huang Ama transferred Hongqing Xiao'er to the army, and you can understand the root cause."
Lao Fourteen didn't care about Lao Shi's tone, he still looked expressionless, shook his head, and pointed out the key point with a smile.
"Huh?"
Although Lao Shi is not a stupid person, his ability to calculate wisdom is obviously insufficient, and he is just a martial artist, and he can't taste the meaning of Lao Shi's words at all, so he can only scratch his head wildly.
"I see, Huang Ama is planning to give Hongli a chance, doesn't that mean ......"
The ninth master's reaction was very fast, and he instantly understood the meaning of the old fourteen's remarks, but in the final judgment, he obviously hesitated.
"It's hard to say, the heart of heaven is unpredictable, and the little brother doesn't dare to make a judgment about it."
Lao Fourteen actually made a judgment in his heart, but he didn't intend to say it, so he just said vaguely and perfunctory.
"Starling, look at this matter......
Since the old fourteenth said so, the ninth master was not good to ask further, frowned and thought about it, but he was still not sure of the old man's true intentions, so he put the decision in the hands of the eighth master.
"Sir, what do you think should be done about this matter?"
The eighth master was also deeply troubled by this situation, although he already had some ideas, but when it came to grasping, he had nothing at all, and he refused to speak casually on this matter, so he frowned, and pushed the problem to Lu Chunyan, who was always silent.
"The fourteenth master is right, Your Majesty transferred Hongqing into the army this time, it is indeed to give Hongli a chance to perform, the truth, it is also simple, you still have to shop around to buy goods, not to mention such a major event as Lichu, in the eyes of Your Majesty, even if the third master is already a leader, but it is not necessarily the best, and in the end, you must give others a chance to perform, or you can get a surprise, Hongli and even the fourth master, are just the target ears of Your Majesty's investigation, but there is no need to worry too much."
Lu Chunyan's ability to calculate is self-evidently strong, and after saying a few words, he has already explained the old man's mentality very thoroughly.
"I see, what about this court discussion?"
Lu Chunyan's judgment is not much different from what the old fourteenth said, but it is more clear, the eighth master will not understand, but what the eighth master really cares about now is not what the old man thinks, but whether he should cooperate with the fourth master, no side, the third master is now popular, and the power is great, the eighth master feels that it is difficult to block the edge of the third master, and he wants to pull the fourth master as a helper, but the reform of the money law involves too much, once it is really done, the pressure and losses that the eighth master has to bear are not small, Besides, if the fourth master is really allowed to sit on this big seat, it is not a situation that the eighth master is happy to see, and it is precisely because of this contradictory psychology that the eighth master can't help but hesitate in his heart.
"The eighth master asked well, there are two sides to the matter, Hongqing Xiaoer is of course to give Hongli a hot potato, in fact, it is not to give people a chance to perform, from this point of view, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of misstep, a certain expectation that the fourth master will hold on tightly, and there is only one of them, that is, to bet on the prince You will stand by and watch on the surface, and secretly will support it, in fact, Hongqing Xiaoer should also be such a calculation road, if so, why not do the opposite!"
Lu Chunyan obviously had a plan in his chest, and when he heard the eighth master's question, he was not chaotic at all, and with a chuckle, he had already broken all the calculations freely, and at the end he gave a clear suggestion.
"Well, sir is ......"
Hearing Lu Chunyan's analysis, even if the eighth master had the feeling of seeing the blue sky through the clouds, he already had a decisive idea in his heart, but the matter was big, and the eighth master didn't want to act hastily, so he hesitated to ask half of the words.
"Oh, the prince should have thought of it, His Majesty is going to race horses, and he will approve the excerpt of the Hongli, and the reform of the money law will be implemented, but this process is not to make it easy, there is no other, the fourth master, the hero, can only be used, but not for help, do not let it meet the head and break the bloodstream, it will be difficult to collect and use, again, the reform of the money law seems simple, but in fact, it is in the whole officialdom practice to move the knife, under the interest, among the local officials, those who are in favor are afraid of the fresh, the prince can set a banner, when there is a magic to win people's hearts, Why not? ”
Lu Chunyan didn't sell much, and when he talked and laughed, he had already pointed out the way to deal with it, and his calm words were full of confidence that could not be concealed.
"It's a great strategy, starling, that's it!"
As soon as Lu Chunyan's words fell, the impatient Lao Shi couldn't help it, and shouted loudly.
"That's right, starling, the little brother thought he might as well just do it!"
Jiu Ye thought about it, and also felt that this strategy was good, so he also echoed it.
"Well...... does the gentleman have any good plans for the court itself?"
The eighth master was already moved, but when he thought of Hongqing's unparalleled eloquence, he couldn't help but worry that it would be difficult to resist when the court was discussing, so he cautiously asked a question.
"The general trend is the trend, although it is difficult to block, but it is easy to delay for a while, somewhere, there are six points of difficulty, when ......, so, there must be something to do!"
Lu Chunyan had already calculated it all, and he knew it in his heart, and he had already given detailed suggestions in an understatement.
"Okay, then it's decided!"
After the eighth master carefully scrutinized the arguments that Lu Chunyan said, his heart suddenly became angry, and he no longer hesitated, and made a decision with confidence.
