"The child has bowed to the father! I have met the master and Mr. Li."

Although the mission was almost done, Hongqing did not dare to rush to report to the old man. This is certainly because it has not been finished, but more so, the third master agreed to this result. It is nothing else. The head of Prince Cheng’s mansion is the third master, not Hongqing. It is not the turn of Hongqing to make the final decision on the major matter. Because of this, after returning to the mansion after work, Hongqing went straight to the study room of the inner courtyard of Prince Cheng’s mansion. When he saw the third master who had already sat behind the copywriting, Hongqing immediately took a few steps and grabbed it. He respectfully paid a visit.

"I'll give it up, let's sit down."

The reason why the Third Master returned to the mansion early today was naturally because Hongqing sent someone to hand over the words. Although he had already understood the general progress of the situation, it was not very specific and had many doubts in his heart. However, the Third Master was very cunning and would not rush to ask the details. Seeing that Hongqing was well-polite, he never had any other words. He just nodded in praise and looked at the seat warmly.

"Thank you for your father to give me a seat."

In front of the Third Master, Hongqing was always extremely well-behaved. No matter how many or great contributions he made, he would never show any pride in his self-importance. This is naturally no exception. After thanking him with great respect, he stood up and walked behind the side of the few sons, lifted the hem of his robe and sat down.

"Look at Qing'er, let's talk about it, how are the missions doing?"

The third master was obviously extremely satisfied with Hongqing's competent and modest attitude, but when he saw him smiled with relief, he asked calmly.

"Reply to the words of the father, it is up to the great grace of Emperor Mafa, and everything goes well. Today, the child went to find the fourth and eighth uncles one after another. He refused to abandon his two uncles and agreed to what the child asked for. This is the matter..."

Since the Third Master was asking, Hongqing did not dare to be a little negligent. She hurriedly bowed and talked about the negotiations with the Fourth Master and the Eighth Master in detail, but there was no hidden anything.

"Well, okay, Qing'er's mission is doing well, and she finally asked a group of children to shoot themselves in the foot. It was really good. Now the overall situation has been decided, and there is nothing wrong with the emperor. Master, Zicheng, do you two have any advice?"

Hearing that the two old opponents were defeated by Hongqing, the Third Master was in a good mood. As soon as Hongqing finished speaking, the Third Master was already cheering with high-highs.

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

Seeing that the Third Master was so happy, Li Minquan was naturally happy to flatter him. As for the serious matters, he didn't think much about it.

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

Mr. Chen obviously had different opinions. He did not agree with the third master's "high opinion". Instead, he frowned, looked at Hongqing with a serious expression, and asked meaningfully.

"this……"

When Mr. Chen asked something strangely, Hongqing was stunned. There was nothing else. He had defeated the fourth master and the eighth master jointly set up the situation, and proved that the Ministry of Revenue was not too short of money. Hongqing naturally believed that the Ministry of Works should not be used. But since Mr. Chen asked this question at this time, it was obvious that the taste was wrong. Hongqing could not understand the true meaning of Mr. Chen's question for a while.

"Master, since the Ministry of Revenue is not short of silver, it seems that there is no need to transfer silver from the Ministry of Works?"

The third master also heard something strange. Seeing Hongqing was speechless for a while, he could no longer hold back, so he interrupted.

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

Mr. Chen's eyelids rolled up and made a rather alarmist statement without much singularity. The third master suddenly turned red with embarrassment. But he was afraid of this always-standard master from the bottom of his heart. Although he felt extremely unhappy, he did not dare to argue and could only remain silent helpless.

Well, so that's it, it's so dangerous!

Among the three, Hongqing was the fastest-moving mind. Just when the Third Master was still embarrassed, Hongqing had already figured out the basis for Master Chen's decision. Cold sweat suddenly flowed down. It was nothing more than that. Too much was not enough. The Third Master was already powerful, and the Second Ministry of Works was in control. There was the Sixteenth Old Master on the other end of the Ministry of Justice and the Thirteenth Old Ministry of War. After the general was sent to the general, half of the Ministry of Revenue was scraped away by Zhao Shenqiao. How could the old man not be suspicious? If the Ministry of Works held such a large sum of money, the old man might not have any more to say at the moment, but a thorn was buried in his heart and Ying Jing'er had aroused it, and the consequences would not be easy to fool.

"What the Master said is very much, I am afraid that the Ministry of Works will not be able to keep the funds."

Although Hongqing was the first to see the seriousness of the problem, she did not explain it. Instead, Li Minquan, who had realized the truth a little later, expressed his words in his head and said in a sweat.

"Hmm? Where did this start?"

Although the Third Master is considered a shrewd person, over the years, the problem of small structure has not improved much. The overall view is a little worse, and his judgment of the current situation is naturally lacking. At this moment, he still has not seen through the core of the problem. He dared not question Mr. Chen, but he didn't care so much about Li Minquan. But when he saw the Third Master frowning, he asked unhappily.

"Reply to the prince, the holy heart has changed since ancient times, so you must prevent the trees from attracting wind."

Although Li Minquan saw the subtlety of the situation, his secrets were really dark. Even during such a secret discussion, he did not dare to speak too thoroughly. He could only imply a programmatic hint.

"This..., well, Qing'er, according to you, how should the Ministry of Industry handle the amount of money?"

The third master was a smart person. As soon as Li Minquan's hint came out, he immediately reacted, and immediately saw sweat on his forehead. He didn't dare to hold his own opinions anymore. Then he pondered and threw the problem to Hongqing who was silent.

"Reply to my father, the child entrusted Uncle Thirteen to compile a military strategy for the Western Front a few days ago. Although it was just a programmatic plan, it was quite practical. If we go according to this, the military expenditure next year will be quite large, but it will be reduced in the next year. Originally, it was enough to rely solely on the national treasury and the court's annual income. Now, since we have to hand over the silver from the Ministry of Works, the child thinks that there are two strategies that can be performed, and one is to make it easier.

The Ministry of Works can allocate military expenses, but the number of people who have handled this matter earlier, and it is easier to force it, and it is possible to make mistakes. Therefore, the child thinks that it seems more safe to directly allocate the treasury of the Ministry of Works. As for the matter of building roads and rivers, the twelfth uncle can propose relevant plans on his own. Whether to approve or not is decided by the Emperor Ma Fa. In this way, the overall situation may be guaranteed."

Since he realized that the Ministry of Works cannot be kept for the annual entry, Hongqing would not hesitate at all. After a moment of pondering, he had already given two solutions.

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

After carefully reading the two strategies Hongqing said in his heart, the Third Master had made a decision. However, the matter was so important, the Third Master was unwilling to express his attitude easily, so he pondered the problem to Chen and Li.

"The prince clearly understands, and his subordinates think that the second strategy should be better. Although the first strategy is also feasible, after all, the traces of concealment are too heavy, which will inevitably lead to the saint's taboo. However, the second strategy seems straightforward, but in fact it is more open-minded and selfless, and the best strategy."

Li Minquan is a wise man and good at observing his face and looking at his face, so how could he not see what the Third Master was thinking? When he dealt with this, he hurried to see what the Third Master liked.

"Well, Zicheng said so much. Master, what do you think?"

The third master originally chose the second strategy. At this time, he heard Li Minquan's suggestion and was more confident in his heart. However, for the sake of caution, he threw the problem to Mr. Chen again.

"It's better to have the second move."

Mr. Chen is still as proud as a god. Facing the sincere inquiries of the Third Master, he did not analyze them in detail, so he just gave a concise answer.

"Well, that's OK, that's it, Qing'er will deal with this matter."

When Mr. Chen heard that this was the same, the third master stopped slapping the high fives and settled the matter with a smile.

"Yes, the child obeys the order."

Since the Third Master made a decision, Hongqing did not dare to delay any delay. He hurriedly bowed and respectfully agreed to the promise...

"Your Majesty's oral order, Xuan, Prince Ren, Hongqing, to meet with the Yangxin Palace!"

Hongqing has always been a decisive person in the fight. Since he had a decision, he would not hesitate. Even if the deadline for the final decision was still two days away, Hongqing still arrived outside the imperial city early the next morning after everything was agreed. Not long after he was handed in, Qin Wuyong and two young eunuchs rushed over and announced the old man's decree.

"It's time for you to do anything about Eunuch Qin."

As soon as Hongqing thanked her, she immediately stood up and popped a folded silver note into Qin Wuyong's sleeve. After a polite sentence, she didn't slap in her heart. She walked slowly towards the Yangxin Palace. Although her steps were as steady as before, there was a faint worry between her eyebrows. It was nothing else. The old man was extremely smart and could not tolerate sand in his eyes. Even if he had done his homework, whether he could pass smoothly was still between the two. If someone was not careful in dealing with it, it would be a big deal to be suspicious of the old man, the serious consequences would not be a joke. Even if Hongqing had been brave enough to be more courageous, he would inevitably feel a little worried.

Haha, the older the world, the less courageous you are. No matter how much you care about it, just walk and see!
