Huo Qing held his head high, and didn't even look at Zhou Tai.

The uneasy mood lingered in Zhou Tai's heart, and he had no choice but to nod again and again: "The emperor will correct his mistakes when he knows them, it is really the blessing of my dynasty and the blessing of all the people!" ”

"Speaking of the people, I have something I want to ask Zhou Aiqing!"

The smile on Song Que's face gradually converged, and turned extremely serious, and his whole body was filled with a solemn aura: "There is a great drought in the north, and the household department is in charge of money and grain, why is the disaster relief money only 100,000 taels?" ”

Faced with Song Que's questioning, Zhou Tai was divided and in chaos.

"Say !!"

Song Que resumed his tyrant posture, and shouted angrily, like a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, so frightened that Zhou Tai's face turned pale, and he immediately knelt on the ground, and replied tremblingly:

"Back to the emperor, the household has no money!"

"No money?"

Song Que glanced at the Huo family's father and son, and said: "Although I have been negligent before, I have not reached the point of profligacy, the household department is in charge of money and food, and I will give 100,000 taels for disaster relief?" ”

"This... That...."

Zhou Tai's eyes wandered, and he was frightened by Song Que's dragon threat, he didn't know how to answer now.

"A good move to retreat into advance, turn defense into offense!"

Seeing that Song Que used the strategy so skillfully, Rao was a calm and experienced Huo Lei, and he couldn't help but change his face, and he began to re-examine Song Que in his heart.

At the beginning, he united the two families of King Li and raised Song Que to the throne.

is nothing more than thinking about firmly controlling power, in addition, plus Song Que is a concubine, and he doesn't understand the art of the emperor, so it is convenient to control.

Now it seems.

The previous plan is very likely to have been miscalculated.

Even, Huo Lei suspected that in the past three years, Song Que has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Just as Hooray pondered.

His son Huo Qing couldn't stand it and walked out of the queue of ministers.

"Your Majesty!"

Huo Qing hurriedly said: "Although the household department is in charge of money and food, but over the years, riots have occurred in various places from time to time, and the household department has been contributing money to appease the people. ”

Seeing his son Huo Qing stand up to save the scene, Huo Lei didn't mention how helpless he was, he had been in officialdom for decades, whether it was experience or eyesight, he had already practiced to perfection.

Huo Lei had already seen that Song Que deliberately frightened Zhou Tai and played the trick of luring the snake out of the hole.

True intentions.

It is to lure the Huo family forward.

As long as the Huo family came forward, they were already fooled.

There are many words, but there are many mistakes, isn't this a sign to give people a handle?

"Really?" Seeing Huo Qing come forward, Song Que raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Huo Aiqing, you said that the household department has no money?" Recently, Huo Mansion built a new courtyard, I heard that it was the specifications of the prince, and hundreds of thousands of taels were used, is there such a thing? ”

Hearing this, Huo Qing suddenly realized that he had been fooled.

Song Que deliberately scared Zhou Tai, obviously trying to deceive himself.

thus questioning the Huo Mansion Courtyard.

Indeed, recently Huo Mansion built a new courtyard, the area of the courtyard is the size of the prince, and even far exceeds the specifications of the prince, and the money spent is several times more than the disaster relief funds in the north.

Huo Qing knew very well that Song Que could make a big fuss about the courtyard built by Huo Mansion if he asked about it.

After all, he is the head of the household, in charge of the money and food of the imperial court, and the cost of building the courtyard is more than the disaster relief money, if this matter is spread, it will definitely cause a lot of controversy among the people.

At this moment, Huo Qing couldn't mention how angry he was.

Unexpectedly, after living a long time, he was pitted by an emperor who was only nineteen years old.

"Huo Aiqing, why don't you speak?" Song Que showed a harmless smile and said with a smile: "Actually, don't be too nervous, I also heard it from elsewhere, if it's fake, you clarify it in front of the civil and military officials, I will definitely find out the rumor-mongers, and I will do justice to Aiqing!" ”

Clarify?

A newly built mansion of that size.

Even if we deny it now, the eyes of the world are not blind.

Isn't that a clear deception to the world?

But if you admit it.

At present, there is a great drought in the north, but the Huo family is building a large number of buildings and building princely mansions, isn't this a matter of words?

Huo Qing clenched his fists, his teeth clenched, but he couldn't help Song Que.

He wasn't nodding his head now, neither was he shaking his head.

Just when there is a dilemma.

Huo Qing's father, Huo Lei, who was the first assistant and master of the cabinet, stood up.

"Your Majesty."

Huo Lei bowed and said: "The drought in the north is the most important thing for the imperial court to solve at the moment, although the dog builds a courtyard, but if the court needs it, the minister can let the dog sell, and the silver taels sold can be included in the treasury at any time for disaster relief!" ”

"Daddy!"

Hearing this, Huo Qing's eyes were about to pop out.

The courtyard built by the Huo family cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Now, he was forced to sell by Song Que without a word, and the silver sold had to be included in the treasury.

Isn't this giving hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to Song Que?

What a loss!

"Above the court, you have to be called, there is no father of yours here!" Huo Lei not only glared at Huo Qing angrily, but also scolded Huo Qing in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, with a stern appearance, without any human touch at all.

"Huo Lao Aiqing, I am really worried about the country and the people!"

Song Que praised Huo Lei on his lips, but secretly scolded the other party in his heart for being an old fox.

Originally, Song Que wanted to beat Huo Qing well and let Huo Qing mess up, so as to have a legitimate reason to weaken the Huo family's influence in the court.

As long as the Huo family's status in the imperial court is affected.

Song Que can make a big fuss.

As a result, I didn't expect to make a trip to bite the gold halfway.

As soon as Horay came forward, in a few words, he explained his plan.

Although the plan was resolved by Huo Lei, fortunately, it was a great gain to be able to obtain hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the Huo family for disaster relief.

These hundreds of thousands of taels of silver should all be used for disaster relief.

The people of the North.

will be able to survive this great drought safely.

Generally speaking, this early dynasty, Song Que's harvest is still not small, taking advantage of the next dynasty, he whispered a few words in the ear of the eunuch in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

I saw the eunuch step forward slowly, shouting at the top of his voice:

"The emperor invites Lord Taibao Wang, Master Taishi Li, to move to the imperial study to talk!"

As soon as this remark came out.

The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers looked at the two old men at the front of the queue.

These two old men are both full of white hair, one is burly, the other is thin, but their eyes are extremely sharp.

The former is named Wang Yu, the official residence is a product of the Taibao, and a powerful general, holding military power, and the latter is named Li Qi, who is also an official residence of the first product of the Taibao, and his protégés are all over the world.

Wang Yu and Li Qi glanced at each other, and then responded in unison:

"Obey."

Song Que made an appointment with Wang Li and the others in the imperial study alone, which made the faces of Huo Lei and Huo Qing, the father and son, extremely ugly.

"Dad, this little emperor obviously wants to isolate you!" Huo Qing said angrily.

"It seems that the old man really underestimated the emperor's wisdom!" Horay's eyes narrowed, as if he was smiling, and the expression on his face was elusive.
