Chapter 499 Benevolence and Benefit ([-])

"Qing'er's move is really too much. Although the job of the Ministry of Industry is good, it is not worth the price. It is good to accomplish the three major tasks. If it is not successful, there will be huge troubles in the future. The gain is not worth the loss."

Hongqing made the king and kept the power of the Ministry of Industry, at least temporarily repelling Hongli's coveting of the power of the Ministry of Industry. Even though Hongqing was full of confidence in realizing the three major events, the third master thought it was superfluous. In his thinking, instead of taking such a big risk to protect the power of the Ministry of Industry, it would be better to change the management of the Ministry. During the court meeting, the third master didn't have a chance to express his thoughts. On the way back to the mansion, because of face, it was not easy to reprimand Hong Qing, so Hong Qing stayed in the study in the inner courtyard of the palace, and told the audience today After talking about all kinds of matters, the third master's patience finally ran out, and without waiting for Old Master Chen and Li Minquan to express anything, he dismissed Hong Qing in a nonchalant manner.

Is it worth the candle?Perhaps, if you look at it from personal gains and losses and in a short period of time, there is such a suspicion—if Hong Qing really handed over the Ministry of Industry, the old man will naturally not lose Hong Qing, and it is very likely that he will hand over the Ministry of Officials This most important department is handed over to Hong Qing. Of course, the title of management department will definitely not be given, but the title of assistant is unavoidable. It is extremely convenient, and within a few years, an incomparably strong force can be cultivated. The question is, is this really a good thing?

The heart of heaven is unpredictable, and the heart of heaven is changeable!Such an old saying is not a lie, but a real truth, especially when facing a shrewd king like the old man, any attempt to get away with it will only end up shooting yourself in the foot. One point can be seen from Ba Ye's embarrassing situation - why can't Ba Ye do it?On the contrary, in terms of their own abilities, except for the third master who was supported by Hong Qing, the rest of the elder brothers can't compare with the eighth master, and the fourth master is also inferior to the eighth master in terms of ability. Isn't it wise?No, the reputation of "Eight Worthy Kings" is not for nothing. In terms of prestige among the officials, except for the third master, no one can compare with the eighth master. The prestige is unparalleled for a while, but what is the final result?Wasn't it classified as another book by the old man? The root cause is that the prestige of the eighth master has already threatened the stability of the old man's throne. In view of this, if Hong Qing really went to the official department, the end would really not be any better. go.

The Ministry of Officials is the department that dispatches officials. If you want to make achievements, it is difficult to say one word!Nothing else, whether the promoted official is good or bad, it can be seen in a short time. If the wrong person is accidentally promoted, the bullets will be flying all over the sky immediately. If you want to cultivate power secretly, you are afraid that you will end up in trouble The fate of the eighth master, after all the calculations, going to the official department is naturally not a good choice, but the problem is that the Ministry of Rites already has the third master, so it is obviously not a problem for Hong Qing to go there. The old fourteen two great gods are here, and there will be no benefit if they go there. As for the Ministry of household and the Ministry of punishment, there is no need to say more. They are the headquarters of the fourth master and the eighth master. If they go, there will be no place to find abuse ?
"My father taught me the right thing."

Keeping the Ministry of Industry is not only a preparation for the future, it is actually a helpless choice, but at this time the third master is on fire, and the reason is hard to say directly. In desperation, Hong Qing can only be sincere The color is perfunctory.

"That's all, that's all, the matter has come to an end, it's better to think about how to expose this matter, master, Zicheng, do you two have any clever strategies for this?"

The third master is annoyed, but he is not an ignorant person, he will not be aware that this matter has happened, and no matter how much he pursues Hongqing's Meng Lang, it will not help, so he waved his hand impatiently, as if he had let go Hong Qing hesitated, and turned to ask the two advisers for advice.

"My lord, the little lord is now a king. If you can accomplish these three important things again, it will be of great benefit to your lord. It doesn't matter if you just try it."

Li Minquan is Hong Qing's person, no matter whether he is making a plan or offering advice, he naturally has to stand by Hong Qing's side. Nodding his head lightly, Li Minquan immediately remarked knowingly.

"Well, if there is hope, that would be great, but..."

The third master is obviously not optimistic about Hong Qing's ability to handle all three matters. Even though Hong Qing has discussed the specific implementation steps before, the third master still has no bottom in his heart, and there is nothing else. He is a literati, and he doesn't understand business at all. In his opinion, the success of Hongqing's soap is purely accidental. It is really impossible to copy it again. He really has to force himself. The risk is too great, and this kind of risk is beyond the range that the third master can bear.

"My little lord is really right in saying that well frogs can't speak to the sea, they are limited to emptiness; summer insects can't speak to ice, they are obsessed with time!"

Before the third master hesitated to come up with a reason, Old Master Chen curled his lips in disdain, and mocked the third master unceremoniously.

"Master, you are..."

Being ridiculed by old master Chen, the third master's face turned red in an instant, and after holding back for a while, he finally asked half of the words.

"My lord, I really want to think about it. Why did Li Guangdi and others try their best to squeeze the little lord out of the Ministry of Industry? If there is no reason, why would fourth master and eighth master work so hard? Could it be that these are all good people?"

Old Master Chen didn't save the third master any face at all. Not only did he not explain to the third master, but he asked several questions one after another, which made the third master sweat profusely.

"What should we do now?"

The third master was left speechless by the question, he couldn't be bothered about whether Hongqing should leave the Ministry of Industry anymore, after thinking about it silently, he took out a piece of white silk from his wide sleeve and wiped it carelessly. After wiping his sweaty face, he changed the subject.

"There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart! Such a feat of benefiting the country and the people, how can we not go forward because of fear of difficulties!"

Among the people present, only Old Master Chen had a little understanding of Hongqing's painstaking efforts to raise these three difficult issues. With his extraordinary intelligence and calculation ability, old master Chen can conclude that if these three things can be done, there is no obstacle for the third master to ascend the throne. Because of this, old master Chen expressed his support without hesitation. Hong Qing's attitude.

"Your Majesty, I think that what the Master said is right, and those who can do these three things will surely gather the hearts of the people, great kindness!"

Li Minquan also saw the benefits after the three difficulties were resolved. In addition, his heart was towards Hongqing, so he would not sing a very contradictory tune at this time. He showed his attitude without hesitation.

"Well, let's try it for the time being. It's just that the fourth and eighth children may not let it go, so how should we deal with it?"

Hearing that both the two counselors have expressed their support for Hongqing, although the third master is still worried, but he can't say anything more, so he can only reluctantly agree, but how to deal with the fourth master and the eighth master Master's joint efforts, but not full confidence, so he frowned and asked solemnly.

"Don't worry, my lord. From the point of view of my subordinates, the two parties will definitely not hinder this matter. Instead, they will use their strength secretly to make this matter pass the court meeting smoothly. They just want to sit and watch the little prince stumble. Forget it, there is nothing to worry about!"

As soon as the third master's words fell, Li Minquan laughed, stretched out his hand to stroke the long beard on his chest, and gave the answer with certainty.

"Well, what do you think, Master?"

The third master believed in Li Minquan's assertion very much. Without others, the third master himself did not believe that Hong Qing could really handle the three matters well. As for the fourth and eighth masters, naturally it is even more impossible for him to have confidence in Hong Qing Yes, to push Hongqing into the fire pit by fueling the flames is the best choice for the fourth master and the others. However, for the sake of prudence, the third master did not draw a conclusion on this, but threw the question to Chen old master.

"The fourth master and the eighth master are both outstanding people. How can they be simple people? Even if they want to put the young prince in a disadvantageous position, they must be on guard. It is inevitable to take action. If the old man predicts it well , the alliance between the two parties will be tampering with the "Kyoto Treaty", the reason for this, the little prince should know it well."

Old Master Chen obviously didn't agree with Li Minquan's point of view, but he didn't say it bluntly, but pointed out something.

"Ok?"

As soon as Old Master Chen said these words, the third master couldn't help being taken aback, and his inquiring eyes immediately turned to Hong Qing.

Oh, the old master is amazing!

If you want to accomplish the three big things, money is of course indispensable. Although Hongqing is good at planning, she is not a fairy. There is no way to start at all-it is better to expect the sow to climb the tree than to expect to climb the heights and gather businessmen from all over the world. If the technical advantages of the Ministry of Industry are not reflected, it is impossible to attract businessmen, but if you want to do this , then it is necessary to set an example, in other words, it is necessary to quickly start one or two projects to attract the attention of merchants from all over the world, and this will naturally require a large amount of start-up funds. Obviously, the current treasury is The only thing that can be counted on is the 8000 million taels of silver that can be obtained from the Wa Kingdom after the "Kyoto Treaty" passed the court meeting. There was a lot of trouble, but old master Chen saw the weakness in all the matters that Hong Qing said at a glance, and after explaining it straight away, Hong Qing really admired it.
