Chapter 272 The Third Master's Forbearance (Part [-])
"What's so difficult about this is that the little prince Jiangnan and his party have already touched the sore spot of the Eighth Master. It's just to stir up trouble in the court at this time, but it's really strange."

Facing the suspicious eyes of the third master, old master Chen didn't show any seriousness, sneered, and directly pointed out the motive of the third master.

"Well..., so it's not surprising, it's just how to break this situation?"

The third master is a fine person, Mr. Chen has already made his words so clear, he will not understand, but when he thinks about the eighth master brazenly attacking the Ministry of Industry, the third master can't take it lightly , Do you want to fight back, but you are afraid of being used by Ba Ye, so you can't help but hesitate. After pondering for a while, you still hesitate, so you ask for advice cautiously.

"Let!"

Old Master Chen obviously guessed the reaction of the third master, and gave an answer almost without thinking.

"This, how does this make it?"

After all, the third master is still reluctant to part with the territory of the Ministry of Industry. He thought that Mr. Chen would have a skillful hand, but he heard that he was letting the eighth master do it. He couldn't help being quite disappointed. So I accepted Old Master Chen's suggestion.

"There is nothing you can't do. It's just a momentary gain or loss. Those who want to achieve great things can't care about the gain or loss of a city or a place. Isn't it just a Ministry of Industry? It doesn't matter if you let it go. Today is the king of sages. In his eyes The sand must not be tolerated, this move by the Eighth Master is nothing more than being a villain, and it will not make a big impact."

Mrs. Chen is a teacher, so when he speaks, he is not very polite. He taught the third master a lesson, and heard the third master blushing. Although he was still unwilling, he didn't have the courage to speak up some.

"My lord, my subordinates think what the master said is very true. At this moment, we should be on the safe side and not move, but if there is no chaos in the capital, the little lord can arrange it calmly. If we attack rashly, the situation in the court will be chaotic. If it comes to that At that time, those who are disadvantageous to the prince may not only be on the side of Ba Ye, the rest of the elder brothers may also follow, and if they make mistakes, the consequences will be disastrous."

Although Old Master Chen didn't explain it very clearly, Li Minquan understood the mystery inside. Seeing that the third master was still unwilling, he excused himself.

"Well, that's okay, but if the Ministry of Industry makes a mistake, if it affects the river management and water transport to sea transport, but it is afraid of the overall situation, it must be guarded against."

Although the third master reluctantly agreed to the "concession policy", the unwillingness in his heart has not diminished a bit, so he raised another question and tried to fight for it.

"Your Majesty is over-concerned. The river regulation and water transportation to sea transportation are both handled by the governor of Beihe and the Henan governor's yamen. The materials needed are basically obtained from river regulation, and have little to do with the Ministry of Industry. Furthermore, these two Everything is related to the country, how can His Majesty allow villains to cause trouble, no matter who dares to reach out to these two matters, they will only ask for trouble, so there is no need to worry too much."

For such a stupid question as the third master, Old Master Chen didn't even bother to explain it, but Li Minquan was diligent and quickly pointed out the mechanism inside.

"Well, then it's okay to decide so, I hope that when Qing'er returns, she won't be offended."

Even after making a few excuses, they were refuted on the spot. Although the third master was still unwilling, he had no choice but to shake his head with a wry smile, and reluctantly agreed to Old Master Chen's suggestion.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong again. Since ancient times, those who have been able to rise to the top among the hordes of lords can't bear the word 'tolerance', let alone the emperor of the ages. If there is no tolerance, how can you enter the eyes of the Holy One? What you want to fight for is actual achievements, not fighting in the nest. The prince only needs to do all the errands at hand, and he is enough to sit on the Diaoyutai. Why do he have to fight with others indiscriminately? As for the little prince, he can stand up for the prince It doesn't matter how much you fight, if the prince can't understand the strangeness of it, what qualifications does he have to hope to be able to go to Qingyun!"

Mrs. Chen really knew the third master very well. Don't look at the promise that the third master said, but when he actually acted, he could really bear it before he saw it.

"To fight or not to fight? Well, Xiao Wang knows what to do, thank you for your advice, Master."

Old Master Chen's words woke up the third master like a basin of cold water, and he shuddered uncontrollably. After a moment of change in his face, he finally bowed to Old Master Chen sincerely, sincerely Thanks a lot...

On May 44th, 25th year of Kangxi, following the impeachment of Minister of Industry Heshen on the morning of the 23rd, Du Shuiqing envoy Langzhong Wang Rui and three others, the supervisory censor Nalan Kuixu (the second son of Nalan Mingzhu) made another impeachment The Ministry of Industry Du Shuiqing envoy Si Zhengyin Langzhong Shen He said that his widowed mother was seriously ill in his hometown, but he ignored filial piety and was not worthy of being a minister of the country, so he asked for the dismissal of Shen He. As soon as this proposal came out, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty paid attention to him, but it was not Shen He himself. People have amazing talents, but they are the confidants of the popular Baylor Hongqing. As for Nalan Kuixu, he has always had a close relationship with the Eighth Master. The third master has turned against each other in an all-round way, and now, the eighth master has made a move, and all the courtiers naturally want to see how the third master will respond.

Do you want to fight?The third master really wants to fight, and he has indeed collected a lot of illegal acts of the eighth master and other courtiers in the past, but he is only concerned about the analysis of old master Chen, and in the end he still didn't act rashly, and he didn't even express any opinions on the impeachment of Shen He , sitting on the sidelines of the Ministry of Industry's impeached Langzhong was demoted from Beijing sadly. Once such a gesture was made, the courtiers on the side of the third master would inevitably feel in danger. Gathered at Prince Cheng's mansion and asked the third master to come forward to uphold justice, but the third master didn't say a word about it, he only said that everyone must do their own errands well, don't leave any excuses in the hands of others, and refuse to say anything more, Chen Guanzhao and others After repeated persuasion to no effect, he had to give up. For a while, the government and the public had a lot of opinions, saying everything, but the mainstream opinion was that the third master cared about the overall situation and had the heart of forbearance for the country. Of course, he also had ulterior motives The people of the court publicized the cowardice and incompetence of the third master, but no matter how chaotic discussions were made outside, the third master would not respond at all, and ignored everything except the government affairs that should be done.

On May 44th of the 27th year of Kangxi, Yangzhou Sanbaili rushed to Beijing, and the imperial envoy Baylor Hongqing personally wrote this chapter, saying that he was attacked by the Bailian bandits in Yangzhou, indicating that this bandit was the land where the previous riots occurred in Henan. The widow's party, after fighting hard with the accompanying guards, was able to kill more than [-] bandits including the widow Lu, the chieftain, and more than a dozen bandits including his son Lu Dingsheng fled. Please order Yun Yun to be wanted nationwide.Hearing this, the emperor was furious, and immediately issued an edict to admonish Che Ming, the magistrate of Yangzhou, for his ineffectiveness in appeasement. Desperately apprehend the escaped White Lotus sect bandits.

It was June, midsummer was approaching, and the heat was unbearable. Even though there was a big ice basin in the room, Hong Qing was still sweating profusely. She still couldn't stop the sweat streaming down her head and face. She was really miserable and had no choice. Although she had lived through two lifetimes, Hong Qing had never experienced the hot and humid summer weather in the south of the Yangtze River. There was something really wrong with her whole body, it was just that I couldn't bear it anymore, but I still had to go on with my business. No, even though I had to wipe my sweat with a white silk from time to time, Hong Qing hardly ever took her eyes off the thick paper that was spread out on the table. Diezi Documents——Production reports of various salt fields on the surface of Liangjiang.

Nine days have passed since the assassination, but Hongqing did not stop the rhythm of rectifying the salt affairs because of the assassination. After conducting a thorough investigation, the production capacity and output of the major salt farms have been clarified. As for the assassination case, Hong Qing ignored it at all and left it to Che Ming, the prefect of Yangzhou, who didn't even bother to ask. The person who was assassinated was not like Hong Qing.

generosity?Of course not, after suffering such a big loss this time, Hong Qing can't wait to smash those Bailian Sect gangsters together with their backstage roots, but if you want to return to thinking, you have to do it step by step. Before the imperial decree was issued, Hongqing did not plan to act blindly, but was more concerned about the situation in Beijing. There is nothing else, Hongqing really knows the character of the third master, and I am afraid that the third master will be impatient. Fighting with the eighth master, even though he has always contacted the old master Chen in Beijing through the carrier pigeons, and knew the third master's intention to forbear, but he still couldn't help worrying, not for anything else, just because of the third master's rights The desire is really too strong, Hong Qing really dare not say whether he can really bear it to the end, if he is not worried, how can it be possible, but it is beyond his reach, except for waiting, Hong Qing has nothing to do It's a good way to think about it.

"To my little prince, the capital is sending you an urgent message."

Just when Hongqing was worried because of the unpredictable situation, she saw Li Minxing quickly turned around from behind the screen, walked a few steps to get closer, and hurriedly made a report.

"Oh?"

Hearing the letter from the capital, Hong Qing's spirit couldn't help but lifted, she reached out her hand quickly, took the small brass pipe that Li Minxing handed over to her hand, quickly unscrewed the hidden buckle on it, and poured out the scroll from inside. Just looking at the secret letter full of words, a strange expression appeared on his face immediately, and he was speechless for a while.

"My lord..."

Seeing that Hongqing didn't respond for a long time, and the expression on his face was very strange, Li Minxing couldn't help feeling a little worried, and hurriedly called out in a low voice.

"Well, it's okay, my fourth uncle is coming to Jiangnan too."

Although the secret letter is not long, it has a lot of content. Apart from briefly explaining the core content of the upcoming imperial decree, there is only one thing, and that is the excuse of the fourth master to use the water transport to change the sea transport. Jiangnan, as for the real reason for his visit, it is difficult to say. Although Hong Qing guessed about the reason, she didn't say much. Mang showed that Hong Qing's heart was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface.
