Chapter 218 The Palace Night Banquet ([-])

"Imperial Ama learned, my son thinks that Mr. Anxi's words are very true. It is related to people's livelihood. It is by no means a trivial matter. It should not be taken lightly. It still needs to be verified by many parties."

The crown prince and Li Guangdi are not on the same side. In the past, there were many private fights in court meetings. However, this does not prevent the crown prince from following Li Guangdi's words to attack the third master. The reason is very simple. The third master is now However, the only prince in Agoli holds the power of the three departments, and the threat to the prince is unbearable. Even if there is no excuse, the prince is thinking about severely suppressing the third master, let alone Now, with Li Guangdi's opening shot, the prince is happy to splash some dirty water on the third master.

"Huang Ama, my son also thinks that this matter must be taken seriously. If the evil things like Nanju and Beizhi really happen, it will be of great disadvantage to the people's livelihood, and it will be even more embarrassing to the face of the court. Please also ask the emperor Ma Sansi."

"Emperor Ama's lesson, my son also thinks that this matter should not be rushed. Even if it is to be generalized, it must be verified again and again before proceeding cautiously."

"Huang Ama, my son thinks that Mr. Anxi has been working in the local area all year round, and he is very familiar with the people's livelihood and government affairs. His advice is really insightful. I also ask Huang Ama to pay attention."

……

With Li Guangdi's opening shot and the crown prince's high-profile echo, the elder brother, fourth master, eighth master and others were unwilling to remain silent, and spoke one after another, making it clear that the chariots and horses were going to carefully plan the third master. The big drama that came out was messed up, with so many people, the momentum was really not small, and the fifth and seventh masters were the fifteenth and sixteenth brothers who were close to the third master. Helping the third master, but he didn't know what the third master's plan was beforehand, and couldn't find any words to help him for a while, so it was like this, the tendency of public opinion was obviously extremely unfavorable to the third master's side.

"Well, does Qing'er care about the promotion of grain seeds?"

Although all the elder brothers danced happily, the old man was obviously unmoved and did not comment, but raised his eyebrows and threw the question to Hong Qing, apparently extremely dissatisfied with the elder brothers' disturbance Of course, the old man himself has worries about Nanju Beizhi.

"Returning to Huang Mafa, although the grandson intends to spread this grain, but he lacks some plans, but after being reminded by his father, the grandson has just realized the difficulty, so I dare not speak falsely. "

As far as Li Guangdi's fallacies are concerned, with Hongqing's eloquence, it's only a matter of minutes to refute them. However, Hongqing didn't intend to make such a show. It's just the situation, there is nothing else, the person who wants to seize the heir is the third master, and the person who really needs political achievements is also the third master, Hong Qing can't always take the lead for the third master in everything, then there will be unavoidable disturbances Hong Qing will never forget when it is time to humble herself.

"Oh? Third, let's talk about it, how should this promotion be done?"

The old man is a rare shrewd person. He knows that the reason why the third master has been successful all these years is largely the result of Hong Qing, a little guy behind him. The ability to deal with all kinds of problems is also very appreciated. I will not expose the little privacy between the third master and his son at this moment, so he smiled and looked sideways at the third master who was standing beside him, looking calm and indifferent Asked a question.

"Huang Ama learned from the lesson. My son thinks that Mr. Anxi's words are indeed an old way to seek the country. However, it is not advisable to give up eating because of choking. As long as you go carefully, it will definitely benefit the people's livelihood. According to my son, this matter. It can be divided into three steps. The first step is breeding. If there is not enough quantity of even the best grain seeds, it will be difficult to carry out comprehensive promotion measures. Establish a breeding base to build a seedling bank; after that, select a dozen counties in the north and south of the river as pilots to observe the adaptability of grain planting, and when it can be guaranteed, it can be fully promoted. In my humble opinion, with these three things in place, there should be no possibility of mistakes.”

There was not much intersection between the third master and Li Guangdi at first, that is, after Li Guangdi was promoted to a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he only had contact with each other, but this kind of contact is obviously not a good memory. It's all right to stumble secretly, the third master didn't intend to be too fussy, but on such an occasion today, Li Guangdi dared to be the first to jump out and sing the opposite tune, the third master couldn't bear it anymore, and the first sentence he spoke was ruthless After stabbing Li Guang, he turned to the main topic and briefly described the promotion details discussed with Hong Qing and others a few days ago.

"Well, it's good for the third child to have such an idea. This is an important matter related to people's livelihood, and it must not be ignored. Are you sure about this?"

The old man also commented on the third master's ridicule of Li Guangdi. After thinking about it for a while, he made a decision, but he didn't speak out, but asked a question calmly.

Naturally, the old man did not ask this question casually. There are many twists and turns in it. On the surface, he was worried that the third master would be too busy. The most important thing is the six departments, and today the Ministry of Rites is in the hands of the fourth master. What about the Ministry of Industry? Except for Hongqing, the core Dushuiqing envoy, no one can command, and even the Hecao yamen is controlled by Hongqing behind the scenes. It is the third master who is in charge of clearing the debts. If the promotion of overseas grains is stopped by the third master, the balance of the court may not be maintained at all. This situation can not help but be seen by all the brothers. However, the old man can tolerate it without seeing it in his heart.

All the people present were shrewd people, even if the subtext in the old man's words was not obvious, the big guys could all hear the strange meaning in it, and the eyes they exchanged with each other were all full of twinkles for a while It means that if the third master's answer is not very good, the scene of attacking in groups may have to reappear. At that time, even if the third master has a hundred mouths, he may not be able to explain clearly, let alone the third master's heart However, Hong Qing, who has always been courageous, couldn't help but secretly broke into a cold sweat.

"Returning to the emperor Ama, this is an important task. I really dare not have the slightest negligence. Now the household department is coming to an end, the rules have been established, and it can be handled according to the regulations. There is no minister to preside over the household department. It is necessary, and the loyalty of the fourth brother is more than enough to deal with it, so I beg the emperor Amaneng to allow my son to resign from the post of the household department and concentrate on the promotion of this grain."

There is no need for the old man to hint, the third master himself has realized the disadvantages of taking too much power, even if he is reluctant to give up, it can be a long-term plan, the third master has already made up his mind to make a choice, otherwise, he will not There was a night banquet today, and now, facing the old man's questioning with a bit of sarcasm, the third master would not have the slightest ambiguity, and humbly asked to resign from the Ministry of household affairs.

"Fourth brother, your third brother said that you have been able to take over the debt settlement of the household department, what do you say?"

Hearing the third master's answer, the old man's eyes immediately flashed brightly, not because of anything else, but because there are not many people in the world who know how to choose - even if they know that power is poison, how many people really have it? It is not easy for the third master to have such a heart. The old man couldn't help giving the third master a high look in his heart, but he didn't make any comment, but turned his head calmly, with a calm expression Glancing at fourth master, he asked casually.

As soon as the old man asked such a question, fourth master was really entangled to the extreme - the old man's previous dissatisfaction with third master's taking power, fourth master naturally saw it in his eyes, and originally planned to take the opportunity to make trouble, but But I never expected that the third master would let go just like that. In this way, the third master was relieved, but the fourth master was in a headache. Nothing else, the matter of paying off debts seems to be going smoothly now, but the problem is not actually there. After being completely resolved, it is still a hassle to pay off the debt according to the repayment contract. After all, the contract belongs to the contract, and the possibility of those subordinate officials acting according to the contract is really high. The third master patted his ass and left People, but the mess left by him can't be cleaned up by his fourth master. How can the fourth master be happy? But then again, if the third master stays at the Ministry of Households, he doesn't need much, just stay a few more In a few months, Fourth Master's prestige in the Ministry of Household Affairs may be gone. In this sense, Fourth Master is eager for Third Master to leave as soon as possible. some.

"Returning to Emperor Ama, thanks to the trust of the third brother, I will do my best."

As the saying goes, whoever chooses the lesser of two evils, even though he was extremely dissatisfied with the third master who left a mess and left, in order to keep his own power, the fourth master had to express it in front of the old man cautiously. determined.

"Well, it's good for you to have such a determination. It doesn't matter if the matter is settled like this. I've had enough of a feast today. It's getting late, so let's stop here."

After today's banquet, it can not only solve the misfortune of the third master's excessive power, but also benefit from the promotion of overseas grain varieties. When he heard that the fourth master was willing to take over the matter of paying off the debts of the household department again, the last thing on the old man's mind was over. Satisfied, he felt sleepy again, and he didn't want to stay any longer. He stood up, left behind a scene, and walked slowly towards the gate of the courtyard. He didn't have to relax, and the people in the garden had to follow suit, and the huge back garden suddenly became a mess. .
