Chapter 559: After You Sing, I'll Appear (Part [-])

The autumn of the 52nd year of Kangxi was destined to be an eventful one. No, just after a financial turmoil that swept across the country had subsided, another shocking case of the White Lotus Sect bandits ambushing King Renjun in Jingxing broke out. This is not over yet. While the government and the opposition were still discussing the Jingxing case, the third father and his son joined forces to write this chapter, recommending Jiuye to fill the vacancy of the central bank governor, and sixteen elder brothers as assistant to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The government and the public were once again shocked by it. The hot discussion had just started, and the fourteenth elder brother followed up with the booklet on the update of armaments. In just a few days, the forces of various parties sang and I appeared on the stage, and the government and the public were extremely noisy, and the old man's lack of expression on the various parties' melodies made this noise even more strange.

"What on earth does that bastard old Fourteen want to do?"

During this period of time, everything about the third master has been going smoothly, not only the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are running smoothly, but the "Beijing Times" is also flourishing. Although the profit is not much, the influence is incomparably huge. Just a few articles can influence the direction of the world's public opinion, which makes the third master unavoidably complacent. In addition, the Jingxing battle has almost completely wiped out the elite of the dark forces of the fourth master and the eighth master. It is unavoidable for the master to become a little flustered. This book was suddenly mixed up by the old fourteenth, and his heart became very angry. Just now when he took his seat in the study, the boss scolded impatiently. said a word.

for what?Of course it was a spoiler, what else could there be.

Hong Qing's news is far more well-informed than that of the third master. The fourteenth-year-old's chapter has just been submitted to Da Nei, and Hong Qing has already learned the letter. He has even read the copy of this chapter. Suddenly, I found that this chapter of the old fourteen was basically the same as the one I showed Hong Qing yesterday. Except that the regulations on the management of armaments were changed according to Hong Qing's suggestion, the rest of the chapter remained unchanged. The same is true for the military department, and this is obviously a big problem. Apart from disrupting the situation, Hong Qing really can't think of any other ideas for the old fourteen, but he knows what he knows, but Hong Qing is I don't intend to tell the truth in front of the third master, nothing else, the necessary concealment is still indispensable.

"Wang Ye Mingjian, the subordinates think that the reason why the Fourteenth Lord chose to launch at this time is nothing more than to achieve a tacit understanding with the Wang Ye. If the Wang Ye does not object to this charter, the Eighth Yee will not accept the Wang Ye's note." If you raise an objection, otherwise, disputes will inevitably arise, and at this delicate juncture, it must be handled with caution."

Li Minquan waited for a while, seeing that neither Hong Qing nor Old Master Chen was willing to speak, he couldn't hold back anymore, so he explained it from the sidelines.

"Hmph, it's ridiculous, how can the important affairs of the court be passed on to each other in private, I don't believe that the old man can really be willing to part with the temptation of the central bank!"

At the beginning, the third master didn't want to reveal the lack of the governor of the central bank, but he couldn't resist the unanimous opposition of Hong Qing and others, so he reluctantly gave up. Now, after hearing Li Minquan's explanation in this way, he is naturally even more angry. So he became reckless, and planned to snipe the old fourteen once, and it would be good if the eighth master also gave up his important position in the central bank. Even the lack of a central bank is swallowed up, and it is a beautiful thing that kills two birds with one stone.

"Hey, when the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will be short. This has always been the case since ancient times. If the prince still cares about the lack of the central bank governor, he will lose nowhere!"

Even though the third master never uttered his plan, whoever was not a wise man knew what was going on, but the reaction was completely different——Hong Qing was a bit apprehensive, It's not easy to say clearly, Li Minquan, he dare not tell the third master face to face, but old master Chen has no taboos, just as the third master's words fell, he has already reprimanded the third master without any politeness.

"Well, where did this start?"

After Old Master Chen exposed his thoughts on the spot, the third master's old face immediately became a little uneasy, and he murmured in embarrassment, as embarrassing as he could be.

"Where do you start? Hey, the prince is really dazzled by the smoothness of everything. Since ancient times, how can a heir who has the right to rule over the court, no matter how stupid the emperor is, he would not act like this, let alone the wise one today. Lord, how can there be sand in your eyes, and those who try to fool their luck will surely make mistakes!"

Mrs. Chen didn't show much affection to the third master at all, put on the airs of a teacher, and unscrupulously criticized the third master again, and the training made the third master sweat profusely.

"Master has taught you well, Xiao Wang knows he is wrong, but what should be done in the current situation, please give me some advice, Master."

Even though he was trained like a gray grandson, the third master really didn't dare to play the prince's prestige with old master Chen. Where the harm lies, I dare not complain, so I can only admit my mistake honestly.

"Your Majesty's three expeditions to Junggar, although they have caused heavy damage, have not destroyed the country. After ten years of rest and recuperation, I am afraid that they will have to use swords again. From this point of view, it is not wrong to upgrade the military equipment. However, I'm afraid this is not the root cause of Eighth Master's doing this, maybe it is better to check and balance the military power of the Ministry of Industry, even so, I'm afraid it will not work to forcibly stop it, and it is the right way to take advantage of the situation. The point is, it's just that, under the influence of the thirteenth prince, he will not be able to disagree if he doesn't see it. The balance is really difficult, and there is no research on military affairs. How to operate it, the prince should listen to the little one. My lord sees you well."

Old Master Chen has never been a hypocritical person, after analyzing the court situation, he frankly admitted that he was not familiar with military affairs, and handed over the decision-making power to Hong Qing.

"Well, does Qing'er care about this matter?"

The third master has some understanding of the way of military affairs, but what he knows is the way of bowing horses, but he doesn't know much about the new army tactics equipped with new weapons. After neglecting it, he hurriedly threw the question to Hong Qing.

"Returning to the words of the father, the child thought that what the master said was true. After the First World War in Jingxing, the eighth and fourth uncles were all frightened, and they had a deep understanding of the power of guns. This time, the fourteenth uncle proposed the military equipment update plan , The fundamental intention is to contain our advantages. Once the firearms are fully promoted, the background of Eighth Uncle in the army can offset the advantage of our Ministry of Industry's sole control of firearms manufacturing, and we can take advantage of the situation to cultivate forces for future use. Because of this, no matter how well prepared the army is, the eighth uncle can benefit from it. However, this matter is related to the safety of the frontier, and it may be difficult to force it. The reason why Huang Mafa did not express his position on this may be because I just want to see what my father wants."

Although she was extremely annoyed by the behavior of the old fourteen disrupting the situation in her heart, Hong Qing was not an ordinary person, and she would not be dazzled by anger. When she analyzed the situation in the court, she was still very organized, and what she said was compared to Old Master Chen One more level.

"Well..., can the old thirteen be reliable?"

Hearing Hong Qing's words, the third master's face inevitably looked a little uncomfortable, nothing else, the third master didn't say anything on the surface, but in his heart he had long regarded himself as the prince , Hearing that the old man actually wanted to go through another test, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful, but even though he was full of complaints in his heart, he definitely didn't dare to say it out loud, he could only grow out of his breath, and then continued to question said a word.

Well, the old man's heart is in a mess, and he can even ask such nonsense!
Can it be relied on?The third master's question is really too mentally retarded. In the face of the temptation of the big position, let alone the brotherly relationship, even the father-son relationship is unreliable. The third master Xiaoyao ascended the throne. Obviously, pinning his hopes on the loyalty of the old thirteen is simply asking for his own death. Naturally, such stupid things cannot be done, but it is okay to use the old thirteen. Regarding this, Hong Qing had already thought about it in detail, but she didn't intend to rush to say it, but after a moment of solemn silence, she said: "Father, Wang Mingjian, I really don't dare to make a mistake so easily. Assert, let's let the boy go to check on Thirteenth Uncle first and then make a decision?"

"Forget it, then there's nothing wrong with that. Well, if the old thirteen has other ideas, then what should we do?"

Although what Hong Qing said was euphemistic, but the third master obviously understood the metaphor inside, and the old man couldn't help but blush, but he didn't want to admit his fault, so he changed the topic in a deep thought.

"Father Wang Mingjian, the way of guns is different from the way of bowing horses. Although the strategy is the same, the tactics are quite different. If you want to become a strong army, you can't do it just by changing the weapons. This is one of the reasons why Huang Mafa is not in a hurry to express his opinion on the military equipment. Now, only Uncle Thirteen has trained the new army. Uncle Thirteen is categorical about the update of military equipment this time. It can't be bypassed, and let the boy discuss it with Uncle Thirteen first, and then come to report to the father."

Although Hong Qing had made up her mind long ago, she just didn't want to say it out loud at this moment, nothing else, one is that the cooperation of the old thirteen is really necessary, and the other is that she is also concerned about the thoughts of the third master, After all, the world has changed with time, and as the old man's end is approaching, Hong Qing must also make some calculations for her own future. If the third master is really suspicious, the consequences will be no fun. This is the reason why long-term considerations must have near-term worries.

"Well, that's fine, Qing'er will go and make arrangements for herself, and Ama will just wait."

Hearing that Hong Qing had already made his words so clear, the third master naturally couldn't keep asking questions, after a moment of contemplation, he agreed to Hong Qing's proposal.
