Chapter 723 Harvest Season (1)

The Spring Festival is coming, and the festive atmosphere in the capital is. Even though it has been snowing for several days, it cannot stop people's enthusiasm for buying New Year's goods. In the early morning, as soon as the genius was dawn, many small vendors stopped on the street while the snow was first snowing. Although most people had not yet left, the hawking sounds along the street were already ringing one after another, and the sounds were a little noisy. However, Hongqing, who was sitting in the eight-carrying sedan chair, didn't care, but enjoyed such noise quite a lot. It was nothing more. Hongqing was in a good mood at this moment. Just because of him, the harvest season was here, but what he wanted to harvest was not crops or wealth, but heads!

It has been half a year since the Neyan case occurred at the end of May. Hongqing has not made any major moves. He just announced the "Daily Management Regulations of the Ministry of Personnel" on the day of the trial. There are many rules and regulations, and there are dozens of articles in it. If it is strictly implemented, the Ministry of Personnel will immediately become a Qingshui Yamen. Of course, this is just an ideal state. In fact, although Hongqing has set up a special supervision office for this, it is really pitiful to talk about the violations seized. In the past six months, there are only three cases in total. Those caught are all small fish and shrimps, and the crimes are all minor and small. The situation of the Ministry of Personnel seems to be very good.

Is the situation really great? Of course not! Although the officials of the Ministry of Personnel were very well-behaved in front of Hongqing, they were all doing lip service. When they were told to Hongqing, they either delayed or deliberately misinterpreted it, and made fun of things in different ways. They were angry? One thing, but it was definitely not much, and it was nothing. It was not worth getting angry with a group of boring villains. Besides, the reason why Si Le Xiheng and others were so arrogant was the result of Hongqing's intentional indulgence, in order to get real evidence and want a fun to settle the accounts after the autumn. Now, the butcher knife has been raised, and Hongqing is waiting to see the result of the heads rolling on the ground.

"Zhang Xiangke is here?"

As soon as he arrived at the Ministry of Personnel, Hongqing did not go to his office, but led Li Minxing and several guards directly to the office of the Secretary of the Communist Party of China. However, he did not refuse to sue, but politely asked the one who was welcomed by Ge Shiha.

"If you say the prince, Zhang Xiang is working inside, so the younger one will go and report it."

Hongqing has often come to Zhang Tingyu to discuss business affairs in the past. The Goshha is Zhang Tingyu's close servant. He has long been used to this. At this time, he heard Hongqing's question, but he didn't think much about it. He answered respectfully.

"Yeah, I'm working hard."

Hongqing didn't feel much, she just thanked her with a reserved voice.

"Prince, please wait."

When he heard Hongqing's words, the Goshha did not dare to delay it. He greeted him respectfully, and then turned around and walked into Zhang Tingyu's office. Without hesitation, he saw Zhang Tingyu quickly turn out from behind the screen.

"The emperor has met the prince."

Zhang Tingyu's thoughts were not as simple as his subordinate Goshha. He could see at a glance that Hongqing came to him so early this morning. Once there was something big to do, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Without a side note, Hongqing's performance over the past year has been too well-behaved. Except for a small attack when he was making a naughty half a year ago, he had never taken any measures. This obviously did not match the nickname "official butcher" on Hongqing's head. Zhang Tingyu was always alert to this. However, there were many people at this time. Even if Zhang Tingyu was suspicious, he could not ask about it at this time. He could only suppress the uneasy speculation in his heart and respectfully bowed and asked for peace.

"Mr. Zhang, you are polite. Xiao Wang has something to report to Mr. Zhang. I wonder if you have time?"

Hongqing has always been a person of good manners in public. Even if she has sharpened her knife at this time, she will not have any mistakes in etiquette. However, seeing that she politely bowed her back and returned the ceremony, and spoke warmly to each other.

"Prince, please!"

The reason why Zhang Tingyu was able to gain the great faith of the old man was that he had climbed from a mere courtier to the high position of the chief minister in just a few years was not just his nature of being cautious in words and actions, nor was his loyalty and willingness to work. It was actually because Zhang Tingyu was good at scrutinizing people's hearts. If he talked about his ability to see the small things, no one among the civil and military officials in the court could compare with Zhang Tingyu. At this moment, Hong Qing's performance seemed to be nothing wrong in the eyes of outsiders, but in Zhang Tingyu's view, when the waves were about to arise, the uneasiness in his heart suddenly arose. However, Hong Qing was so kind to discuss, Zhang Tingyu really dared not to give Hong Qing, a popular dragon grandson, face, so he could only wave his hand quietly and said respectfully.

"Mr. Zhang, please!"

Hongqing smiled gently and did not slap in any more. After waved his hand and signaled, he slowly walked into the office. After each of them had their own guests and guests, they all took the tables. After the Geshiha and others arranged to serve the newly brewed fragrant tea, and then left the office, leaving only Hongqing and Zhang Tingyu.

"Mr. Zhang, it has been more than a year since Xiao Wang came to the Ministry of Personnel. Over the past year, Xiao Wang is very grateful for his support from Lord Zhang."

When the Goshhas who were serving tea withdrew, Hongqing did not rush to talk about the serious matters, but bowed to Zhang Tingyu with a sincere face and thanked him.

"How dare you? How dare you? The prince is polite. The official has only done something within his ability, and he really dares not be praised by the prince."

The more humble Hongqing was, the more uneasy Zhang Tingyu felt. The so-called courtesy must be something for others, which is the reason. However, no matter how uneasy he was, Zhang Tingyu did not dare to have any rudeness, so he could only be a few words of humility.

"Mr. Zhang is too humble. I am really lucky to have Master Zhang's help. I will thank you for your thanks. I won't say much. I came to see Master Zhang early this morning, but there is something that I have to make the decision."

He has to say polite words, but if he says too much, it is actually useless. Hongqing is not confused about this point. After a brief greeting, Hongqing immediately changed the subject and began to prepare to draw his sword.

"If you have something to do, please give me instructions, but I can do it, so the subordinates dare not refuse."

Although Hongqing was polite, she was hidden inside. Zhang Tingyu's brows frowned unconsciously. Facing Hongqing's humility was too low, it was really hard to say the words of refusal. In desperation, she could only make a cautious promise with reservations.

This guy is really cautious, old fox!

Zhang Tingyu's words seemed to be refreshing, but in fact, there was a foreshadowing inside - only those who could do it could be helped, and those who could not do it would be free of negotiation. The problem is that it is not Zhang Tingyu's own decision whether it could be done or not. Although such a little thought is secret, Hongqing understood it as soon as he heard it, but he didn't take it seriously. He had been dealing with Zhang Tingyu for many years and had not had to deal with him once or twice. He had long been so familiar with his character that he could not be familiar with him anymore.

"With Lord Zhang's words, Xiao Wang felt relieved. Well, after that, the "Regulations on Daily Management of the Ministry of Personnel" has been piloted for more than half a year. I wonder if Mr. Zhang has any advice on this?"

Since Zhang Tingyu is known to be cautious by nature, Hongqing will not act recklessly, but will push the topic slowly at the pace he had thought in advance.

"The prince clearly understands the matter, and the officials think that the original intention of the introduction of this regulation is good, and that it will also make achievements in implementation, which should be good."

When he heard Hongqing mention the "Regulations on Daily Management of the Ministry of Personnel", Zhang Tingyu's heart immediately skipped a beat. It was nothing else, just because Zhang Tingyu had already guessed the storm that Hongqing was about to stir up. In addition to being shocked, his mind started to move around and gave an extremely vague answer with careful words.

"Mr. Zhang is a little disheartened. Hey, the original intention is good, but it's a pity. The monk's mouth is crooked. According to my opinion, this regulation has never been truly implemented. Over the past six months, the Communist Party has only arrested three violations, and they are all yamen runners who collect money. Haha, it's really interesting. Could it be that the Ministry of Personnel is so clear? I don't believe it, Lord Zhang thinks?"

Zhang Tingyu wanted to get away with it, but how could Hongqing fulfill his intention so easily? As soon as Zhang Tingyu finished speaking, Hongqing smiled coldly and raised doubts without hesitation. Finally, he even harshly defeated Zhang Tingyu and his army.

"Have you discovered something? Please tell me clearly."

Over the years, Zhang Tingyu has seen Hong Qing's sharpness in his lyrics, but it was all about watching the fire from the other side of the river. He sat down to see how Hong Qing argued with the Fourth Master, Eighth Master and others. It was his turn to come to experience it himself, and then he realized that the feeling was really uncomfortable. Just after a few words of the conversation, Zhang Tingyu was forced to the dead corner. Not to mention suppressing Hong Qing's action of lifting the table, it was afraid that he would be difficult for him to stay out of the matter. With this in mind, Zhang Tingyu felt really bitter in his heart as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis. The problem was that he had to follow Hong Qing's pace, and he was really frustrated.

"Mr. Zhang asked well. The little king Menghuang Mafa was particularly kind. He was able to go to the Ministry of Personnel to work. He also thought that he could work with the Ministry of Personnel to contribute to our country. He really did not want any troubles. But it was just that King Xiang had a dream. No one was willing to accept my feelings. Hey, that would be fine. Are all people doing things for the court? If you have a loyalty, you are afraid that it is not good. You should suffer a lot. Xiao Wang took it himself. But some people do dirty things under the banner of justice. They are still a greedy and arrogant person. How can I tolerate it? If Lord Zhang doesn't believe it, Xiao Wang has this memorial here. Please take a look first and then discuss the rest."
