Chapter 500 Benevolence and Benefit ([-])
"Father Wang Mingjian, what the master said is that what the child needs to start the three things should be the indemnity from the defeat of the Japanese kingdom. If the fourth uncle and the eighth uncle can see through this point, they will definitely criticize the "Kyoto Treaty" during the court meeting. If the treaty cannot be passed, there will be a huge gap in the funds needed by the child, and things will be difficult."

Facing the inquiring eyes of the third master, Hong Qing dared not neglect her, quickly restrained her thoughts, bowed towards the third master, and explained in a flat tone.

"Huh? Qing'er wants to use the 8000 million taels of silver, is it not easy?"

Hearing Hong Qing's explanation, the first thing that the third master thought of was not whether the treaty could be passed, but the possibility that Hong Qing could embezzle all the 8000 million taels of compensation. Obviously, the third master didn't think the old man would be so generous For such a field, you must know that this is 8000 million taels of silver. There is no such amount in the treasury of the Qing Dynasty. How can Hong Qing really use all of such a huge amount of silver taels?

"Father has misunderstood, what the child wants to use is only a part of it. Although I haven't calculated it carefully, it is almost the same if there are three to five million taels. If the treaty can pass the court, I think Huang Mafa will not Those who are stingy with this amount."

Although Hongqing has been planning the three major events for many years, and has made a lot of related arrangements secretly, after all, it has not yet been officially launched. When it comes to the amount of start-up funds, I dare not make random conclusions, but in general The amount is still clear.

"Well, although three to five million taels of silver is a lot, it is not much compared to the huge amount of 500 million taels. This huge sum of money was bought by our soldiers of the Qing Dynasty with their lives, and it is necessary to use it. Just be more cautious, as for the court discussion, don’t some people dare to take the liberty of doing something against it?”

Hearing that what Hongqing needs is only a fraction, the third master should relax, and he has no worries at all about the treaty passing the court council. In his mind, this treaty is very important to the court. It's a good thing, there is really no reason to object, so there is no need to worry too much.

"Benevolence!"

Seeing that the third master was self-righteous there, Old Master Chen obviously couldn't see it, so he uttered a word coldly.

"Jen? This..."

Although Old Master Chen only said one word, the third master came to his senses in an instant, nothing else, the third master's Confucianism skills are quite profound, so he can understand what Old Master Chen is referring to, and his originally relaxed expression Immediately, it became gloomy—the Qing Dynasty founded the country with benevolence and filial piety, and what it emphasized was benevolence and filial piety. If the fourth master and the eighth master jointly attacked the "Kyoto Treaty" from the perspective of benevolence and justice, it would not be an easy task to deal with it. Son.

"Father, don't worry, the child has planned this for a long time, and he will definitely not let the younger generation succeed."

The third master was very nervous, but Hong Qing didn't care at all, and made a promise with a smile.

"Oh? Qing'er has any good countermeasures, let me tell you about it from Ama."

Hearing what Hong Qing said, the tense face of the third master immediately relaxed again, but he still didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly asked a question.

"Father Wang Mingjian, children think that the so-called benevolence is the benevolence of the outer king and the inner sage. Kindness to the enemy is the benevolence of a woman. Self-mutilation is really not what a wise man should do. Now, since the children want to use the way of benevolence to criticize If it’s a matter, the child will not be very polite at all, he has his own plan, when... It will definitely make the children feel bored."

Hong Qing smiled calmly, and explained the strategy she had planned in detail, her words were full of confidence.

"My lord's strategy is brilliant. Instead of fighting, the enemy will be defeated. It's a good man!"

Li Minxing's reaction was quite quick, and just as Hong Qing explained the strategy, he had already understood the beauty of it, and he clapped his hands with a smile, expressing his attitude first.

"feasible!"

Old Master Chen was not ambiguous, and gave the answer concisely.

"Well, it's settled like this. Qing'er can do it on her own. If anything happens, Ama will fully support her!"

Hearing that the two counselors expressed their views, the third master no longer hesitated, and made a decision resolutely.

"Father Wang Yingming!"

After the third master made such a decision, Hong Qing had to hurry up and praise her.

"Forget it, Er Zhengchen hasn't washed, so he must be tired. Let's stop here for today, and let's just say we're tired."

The plan was established, the third master's worries were all over, and he was in a good mood, so he didn't keep Hong Qing anymore, so he waved Hong Qing out of the study with a heroic gesture.

"Yes, baby retire."

Hong Qing was bumpy on the sea for more than a month, and rushed all the way to the capital again. When she arrived in the palace, there was another round of heated debates. , hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then exited the study, planning to go back to his small courtyard to have a rest.

"Little prince, my concubine invites you to go."

Hong Qing's idea is undoubtedly good, but it's a pity that people's wishes are not fulfilled, no, just now, after walking out of the study room in the inner courtyard, Zijuan, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, immediately went forward, blessed with a smile on her face Fu, said softly.

"understood."

My old lady has a request, so I definitely can't delay, even though she was sleepy and tired, Hong Qing could only helplessly agree, and walked towards the main courtyard with light steps, just now she turned around the screen, and she saw it Seeing that Dong Eshi was sitting high on the head, just sipping tea in his spare time, he obviously didn't look like he was in a hurry.

"The child kowtows to see the concubine mother."

Although it was very strange what the old lady's intention was to summon her so urgently, but Hong Qing didn't dare to lose her courtesy, so she quickly rushed to the front, saluted and greeted her well.

"Well, I'm promising, so I'm crowned king? Stronger than your father!"

Seeing that Hong Qing had arrived, Dong E put the tea bowl in his hand on the small table beside him, looked at Hong Qing lovingly, and then gave a word of approval with satisfaction.

"The child's success today is due to Er Niang's education."

Hearing Dong E's words, Hong Qing's heart immediately shuddered, nothing else, Hong Qing knew Dong E's too well, how could she not know that there must be a problem waiting behind her mother's praise, However, he didn't dare to point it out, but flattered Dong E with a smile on his face.

"You, try to coax Er Niang with nice words, that's all, Er Niang doesn't talk to you too much, I called you here today because I have something to tell you, after all, you are almost ten years old. It's seven, and you're crowned king again. It's time to start a family. Er Niang will be the master for you again. Pick an auspicious day tomorrow, and then arrange the marriage. mind."

As soon as Hongqing's sloppy behavior came out, Dong E was immediately amused and laughed, and reached out to give Hongqing a chestnut. After a word of laughter and cursing, he immediately turned to the topic, unexpectedly planning to force Hongqing to get married quickly up.

"what……"

As soon as Dong E's words came out, Hong Qing couldn't help being stunned on the spot, nothing else, he really didn't have any mental preparations - he was less than 17 years old, in his previous life, he was at most the age of freshman in high school They are about to get married, which obviously makes Hong Qing a little bit at a loss. Even though there are many people around who are waiting to get married at the age of 16, I haven't seen the old fifteen brothers who are so one and a half years older than Hong Qing. These two boys have been married three times each, and the fastest-moving old fifteen even gave birth to a son, but the other is someone else, Hong Qing can accept the early marriage of others, but when it is his turn, it is inevitable It was very awkward, and I had mixed feelings in my heart for a while, and I really didn't know what to say.

"There is no need to discuss this matter. The daughter of the Wen family is almost sixteen. How long do you plan to let people wait, huh?"

Dong Eshi was not a negotiable master, seeing Hong Qing in a daze, her face drooped immediately, and she snorted coldly.

"Er Niang, that's not what you said, this, ah, so that Er Niang can find out that the prince of the boy is strange, and it was forced by the fourth uncle and the eighth uncle, in order to divide my line of Prince Cheng. If the presumed child gets married, I'm afraid we will have to open a mansion and build teeth. It will be a big disadvantage to my Prince Cheng's mansion. It will not be too late to discuss the marriage after the limelight passes. The reason for this is, Also ask Er Niang to learn from you."

Originally, Hong Qing and Hai Lanzhu didn't call, most of it was because they were forced to get engaged. Although they got together in Jiao'ao for a few days, they felt a little bit, but they were far from talking about marriage. What's more, Hongqing really didn't want to be a husband at the age of 17. At this moment, when she heard Dong E's tone of voice, Hongqing's brains started to work quickly, and she hurriedly found an excuse to prevaricate.

"Huh? There is such a thing?"

Hearing what Hong Qing said, Dong E's brows immediately frowned, and he looked at Hong Qing suspiciously, obviously he didn't believe what Hong Qing said, nothing else, although Dong E's I learned the news of Hongqing being crowned king from the report of the subordinates, but I don't know much about the situation of the court discussion, so I don't know the inside story, but I think it should not be what Hongqing said. as serious.

"Emiang, how dare the child lie to you with lies, the king knows this matter best, if you don't believe it, and wait for the king to return, ask the king and you will know the truth."

At this moment, Hong Qing only wanted to get away first. As for whether the third master would be tortured by her own mother, Hong Qing didn't care so much. If you want to kill a fellow Taoist, don't be a poor Taoist, right?

"Well..., then it's better to wait for your father to come to discuss it, and let's talk about it."

Although Dong E didn't quite believe Hong Qingzhi's words, he was not a person who didn't understand the truth. If the matter was really related to the rise and fall of Prince Cheng's mansion, Dong E really didn't dare to be careless and pondered for a while. Afterwards, she didn't hold back on her previous argument, and reluctantly let Hong Qing go.

Huh..., I finally managed it, father, father, you can always pray for your blessings!
Hong Qing is very aware of Dong E's stubborn temperament. Once the third master is forced to question by Dong E, the process will not be easy, but Hong Qing didn't care about so much, and bowed respectfully , even if the soles of the feet are oiled and slipped away...
