Chapter 612 Old Thirteen's Anger ([-])

With the old man's verdict, the matter of the marriage dispute before the imperial court is considered to be a conclusion, and the fourth master's side has not made any further disturbances, so Hong Qing naturally does not want to be troublesome, but in retrospect, she is very terrified in her heart, nothing else, just because Hongqing's victory in this battle was too dangerous. If it hadn't been for old master Chen's suggestion that Hongqing would have gone to face the saint early, she might have been tricked by the fourth master. If the old master had really ordered Qinglian Pointing to Hongli, if the old man wants to take back his life, there is almost no possibility at all. At that time, Hongqing doesn't know that she will do something crazy. Loaded into fourth master's hub, the consequences are really not fun.

The imperial lawsuit was won, but when it comes to marrying Qing Lian, she still doesn't know when it will be delayed. It's not that Hong Qing doesn't want to, in fact, if it is possible, Hong Qing would like to marry Qing Lian back home as soon as possible. Hong Qing has the final say on this matter, nothing else, A Ling'a no longer prevents Qing Lian from dating Hong Qing, but when it comes to marriage, A Ling'a can always find countless reasons to prevaricate Even though Hong Qing once again entrusted Prince Zhuang to go talk about the matter, it didn't work, and the marriage was delayed in such an unembarrassing manner. Of course, Hong Qing actually knew where the root of the problem was. It's just that Ba Ye is behind the scenes to ensure that Hong Qing will not make any mistakes in the Northwest War. It's just that it's clear, but Hong Qing is helpless. After all, Ah Ling is Qinglian's Grandpa, if he doesn't open his mouth to agree to the marriage, there is no possibility of this marriage, so we can only wait and see.

It's not a refreshing thing for a marriage to be put on hold temporarily, but Hong Qing doesn't particularly care about it, nothing else, he himself is only 19 years old, as for Qing Lian, he is only 16 and a half years old, very young , I can afford to wait, the relationship between each other not only did not fade due to the delay of the marriage, on the contrary, it became more and more mellow due to the warm rendezvous from time to time. The court situation is relatively stable, and all the affairs of the Ministry of Industry are progressing smoothly, so Hongqing can have some leisure to get over her addiction to love.

The happy time is always short-lived, no, after the Dragon Boat Festival, Hongqing is already busy, nothing else, many projects issued at the Ministry of Industry Invention Promotion Conference last year have all arrived for acceptance It's time for results. As the general manager, Hong Qing's burden is very heavy, and there is no room for any mistakes. Therefore, this matter is not only related to the funding source of the Ministry of Industry for the next few years, but also to Hong Qing. Qing's own fate, you must know that when Hong Qing returned from the Eastern Expedition, Hong Qing made a promise in front of all the officials from the first rank and above. If I didn't go well, wouldn't all the subsequent events become flowers in the mirror?
Busy, really busy, not only have to review countless official documents every day, but also have to listen to the reports of countless officials sent out to investigate the situation, and they themselves have to be inspected and guided everywhere. Well, Hong Qing was really busy, but fortunately, everything went smoothly. The projects contracted out have basically been completed on time, and many projects have even begun to make profits. The specific amount of dividends that can be obtained can be seen from the current operating conditions of more than a dozen projects that have started for nearly half a year. When the dividends are distributed at the end of this year, the income of the Ministry of Industry should not be much different from expectations, or even slightly exceeded. This is of course a good thing, Hong Qing is more motivated when she is busy, no matter what, it is already dark, but Hong Qing is still busy in the office, although she is sweating profusely, she never tires of it .

"My lord, the thirteenth lord has sent someone here, saying that he is asking the lord to come to the mansion for a briefing."

Just when Hong Qing had finished approving the last official document for the day, and just wanted to catch her breath, she saw Li Minxing walking in from the outside, bowed, and hastily reported.

Go over the government for a while?What kind of play is the old thirteen playing here, huh?Could it be...

When she heard that the old thirteen had sent someone to invite Hong Qing, she couldn't help being taken aback, nothing else, Hong Qing had a good relationship with the old thirteen these years, and she often wandered around the old thirteen's mansion in her spare time Last time, Hong Qing strolled there by herself every time. The old thirteen never took the initiative to send an invitation, but today he actually sent someone to call. The matter is obviously not that simple, Hong Qing After thinking about it for a while, he already guessed some basics, and his brows inevitably wrinkled.

"Go back and tell me that the king will go in a while."

Since the old thirteen had already sent someone to invite him, it was obviously inappropriate not to go, even though Hong Qing didn't really want to go, she could only reluctantly agree.

"twitter!"

Since Hong Qing had made an explanation, Li Minxing didn't dare to be negligent, so he hastily responded, and then left the room without saying a word.

"What should come will eventually come, maybe this is fate!"

Hong Qing said that she would leave in a while, but she still sat on the chair without moving, frowning in silence, after a long time, she let out a long sigh, and after a word of emotion, she immediately got up , strode out of the study...

"Little ones kowtow to the prince."

Prince Yong's mansion is also on the East Street. It is not too far from Prince Cheng's mansion, just two streets away. When he returned from the Eastern Expedition, Prince Yong's mansion was also very lively for a while. Most of the people from all walks of life came to visit the old thirteen, but as the old thirteen was suppressed by the old fourteen in the Ministry of War, the number of visitors gradually became rare, and the old thirteen himself did not want to get involved with the various forces. , and few people came to his mansion again, especially when the lights were on, the front of the door was even more deserted, and the several porters were all talking nonsense in the ear room, and they didn't even notice Hong Qing's arrival until Hong Qing walked up the steps in front of the mansion in person, and then all the stewards jumped up as if they had just woken up from a dream, and they all knelt down on the ground in a hurry, and greeted her in disorder.

"Excuse me, this king is here at the invitation of my thirteenth uncle, please let me know on your behalf."

Hong Qing didn't even bother to pay attention to whether the servants of the old thirteen were dedicated to their duties, but seeing him wave his hand calmly, he gave an order in a calm voice.

"My lord, the master has confessed that you are here, so you don't need to report, just go in directly, and I will guide you."

When Hong Qing said this, a manager who saw him quickly replied with a smile on his face, got up quickly, took off a lantern from the wall, and let Hong Qing go into the gate of the house with a nod and bow .

"It's work."

Hong Qing smiled, and did not refuse the kindness of the steward. After thanking humbly, she was accompanied by the steward and walked towards the gate of the mansion. Seeing a solitary lamp dimly lit in a small pavilion half-hidden in a bamboo grove, the old Shisan in white was sitting cross-legged on the futon, drinking to himself, obviously in a bad mood .

"My nephew has met Uncle Thirteen."

Seeing the sullen look of the old thirteen, Hong Qing's original thoughts in her heart immediately became more determined, but she didn't show anything else, she just pressed her hand and stopped the leader who led the way. Accompanied by the porter, he walked into the pavilion alone, bowed to the old thirteen, and greeted him very humbly.

"sit!"

The old thirteen's mood was obviously in a bad mood, even though he saw Hong Qing's salute, there was no smile on his gloomy face, he just simply uttered a word, then picked up the wine bowl, raised his head and drank wildly Angrily.

"Uncle Thirteen, my nephew will respect you a bowl."

Although she already guessed that the old thirteen was troubled by something, Hong Qing didn't intend to tell the truth, she didn't even intend to ask a question, she lifted the hem of her robe, sat down, and then stretched out her hand to pick up the wine on the table After filling the empty bowl in front of himself and Old Thirteen unhurriedly, he picked up the wine bowl with both hands, bowed to Old Thirteen, and toasted with a smile on his face.

"Oh!"

Facing Hong Qing's toast, the old thirteen drank it readily, raised his head, and drank the wine like pouring water, but finally threw the wine bowl heavily on the table , although he was speechless, the anger on his face became more and more intense.

"Uncle Thirteen, what's wrong with you? Who made you so angry?"

Hong Qing originally didn't want to ask a question, but when Old Shisan made such a gesture, he couldn't keep silent anymore, so he asked in a surprised manner.

"A group of scumbags who treat military and state affairs as a trifle, disregarding the lives of thousands of soldiers, traitors, I must join this gang of bastards, hmph!"

It's good that Hong Qing didn't ask, but after this question, the old Shisan immediately lost his temper, but when he saw him slapping him heavily, his face was livid and he roared, his voice was so loud that it was really like thunder.

Well, it really is this matter!

Although the old thirteen's roaring words did not say clearly what was going on, Hong Qing knew it right away, nothing else. These days, although Hong Qing has been busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, her eyes and ears are not closed. It is clear that there is already chaos in western Xinjiang—Jungar Khan Tsewang Allah Butan sent his general Cering Dunduobu to attack Qinghai-Tibet in mid-March. In addition, the First World War defeated the resistance of the Tibetan army, strangled Lhazang Khan, and seized the Tibetan regime in one fell swoop. The news spread to the capital. The old man was furious and sent envoys to condemn Cewang Allah Butan's crazy actions, but Cewang Allah The embarrassment of Butan beheading the emissary, the old man was so angry that he had issued an edict to send troops to counter the rebellion, and now the Ministry of War is conducting urgent consultations on this matter to formulate a strategy for sending troops.

Obviously, the old thirteen and the old fourteen once again clashed in terms of military strategy. Being alone and alone, the old thirteen must have suffered a big loss again, and today he called Hong Qing in such a hurry , is nothing more than wanting to win Hong Qing's support, although such thoughts are not difficult to guess, but Hong Qing is suffering in her heart and can't tell...
