Chapter 654 The Oriole and the Hunter ([-])
Although Hongli has not been working in the Ministry of Industry for a long time, his title of Assistant Office of the Ministry of Industry has never been revoked. It is hard to say whether the old man did it on purpose or forgot about it. But in any case, the fact that Hongli asked for a report in his early days is logically based. Of course, he can ask for a report, but he has no power to hand over the report, nor can he transfer the report to others. The problem is that Hongli At this time, it only said that it would be reviewed, but did not say that it would be handed over to the Twelfth Lord. Everyone really couldn't say anything wrong with him. For a while, it was inevitable that they didn't know how to deal with him.

"What? You're all dumb now. Weren't you all pretty good at talking before, huh?"

A group of officials had already calmed down, but Hongli was unreasonable, with a cold face, and aggressively reprimanded him again.

"I don't know why the little prince wants me to wait for the inventory report. Does it really need to be reviewed, or does it want to be handed over to others for use?"

As soon as Hongli's cold and stern attitude came out, Dai Zi couldn't bear to look at it, but seeing his eyebrows raised, he asked a question in a very rude manner.

"It's true that something needs to be reviewed, does Dai Shangshu think it's not allowed?"

Dai Zi is a palm seal doctor with the title of minister of the Ministry of Industry and the director of the research institute. He is a highly respected person. Hongli dare not really reprimand him in a scolding tone, so he can only slow down his tone and frown. Asked back slightly wrinkled.

"As for the other divisions and departments, the lower officials dare not speak nonsense, but do you want to check my manufacturing warehouse? I also ask the little prince to come back after requesting the imperial edict. If not, please forgive me for being difficult to obey."

The manufacturing warehouse is now the most confidential department of the Ministry of Industry. Whether it is weapon manufacturing or the research institute, it is the most important core of the imperial court. After checking Li's account, Hongli's request was typed back firmly.

"Dai Shangshu's words are serious. I'm not dissatisfied with the performance of the warehouse. It's just that when it comes to the imperial decree, Twelfth Uncle has a copy. Since Dai Shangshu wants it, can I ask Twelfth Uncle to declare it?"

Hongli didn't have much dealings with Dai Zi, but he knew a lot about this old temper. Seeing his attitude so tough now, he couldn't help being quite annoyed, but he didn't want to quarrel with him on the spot After going on and on, he raised his brows and brought the problem to Master Twelfth.

"This... I'm afraid it's not good. Although this king is ordered to act as the Ministry of Engineering and Engineering, it has not yet been handed over, and he has no right to control the various departments. This decree cannot be announced."

Hongli's hinting gaze was very sharp, but the Twelfth Lord seemed to have not seen it, but he shook his head solemnly, and after hesitating, he rejected Hongli's offer without hesitation. proposal.

"Uncle Twelve, you..."

Hearing Twelfth Master's words, Hongli's forehead immediately felt sweaty, nothing else, this kind of answer is not a pre-agreed script, obviously things have changed, and there is no freedom for Hongli not to do it Frightened and flustered, he opened his mouth and wanted to speak again.

"well said!"

Before Hongli could finish speaking, there was a burst of applause, and Hong Qing, who was dressed in a neat court uniform, turned out from the back hall with big strides. Seeing this, Hongli's face instantly became extremely ugly There is nothing else, Hong Qing will appear at such a delicate moment, obviously set up with the twelfth master, and this only means one thing, he Hongli has fallen into the trap set up by Hong Qing. In the trap, it's hard to say what the consequences will be. Today, I'm afraid I won't die even if I have to take off my skin.

"The next official is waiting to kowtow to the prince!"

Seeing Hongqing's arrival, all the officials of the Ministry of Industry dared to sit still, they all got up in a hurry, and hurriedly saluted and worshiped incessantly.

"My nephew has met Uncle Twelve."

Hong Qing ignored the officials kneeling all over the floor, but walked unhurriedly to the side of the copywriting, and bowed to the Twelfth Master who got up in a hurry, and greeted him very politely.

"Nephew, you're welcome. Now that you've arrived, Uncle can rest assured."

No matter how you feel in your heart, there is a fatal handle in Hong Qing's hands, Twelfth Lord will definitely not have any other choice except to cooperate with him. Facing Hong Qing's greetings, Twelve Master really didn't dare to put on the airs of an elder, so he politely gave up the main seat, but he himself moved a chair from the side and sat beside Hong Qing.

"Everyone, please be at peace."

Hong Qing didn't show any politeness to Lord Twelfth, just nodded, then walked to the back of the copywriter, lifted the hem of her robe, sat down right there, and then looked around at all the people kneeling on the ground , the voice yelled flatly.

"Thank you, Lord Long!"

Among the doctors in the Ministry of Industry, there are not many people who really know Hongqing's plans today, only Song Chengwu and a few other true confidantes, but those who can get into the palm doctor in the Ministry of Industry, and that one is a dull person. How could they not see something strange, but because of Hongqing's majesty in the past, no one dared to talk nonsense, so they just agreed to the promise and sat down silently. The difference is that most of the officials who are close to Hongqing are smiling and ready to watch a good show, while Chen Busi and Qi Dazuo, who jumped out early to express their performance earlier, have ashen faces and are full of melancholy. Extremely uneasy.

"Uncle Twelfth, my nephew has been sick for a long time, and it is all up to you to preside over the overall situation of the Ministry of Industry, so that everything can be kept safe. My nephew feels ashamed, and I hope Uncle Twelfth will be more tolerant."

After Hong Qing sat down, she was not in a hurry to work, and she didn't pay attention to Hong Li who was sitting beside him with a pale face. Instead, she bowed her hands to Uncle Twelve very politely, and thanked him sincerely. .

"Nephew, you must not say that. As an uncle, he has been favored by Emperor Amalong, and he should serve the court and society. It should be, it should be."

Although the Twelfth Master still felt a little unwilling in his heart, he had already lost the capital and courage to fight against Hong Qing. At this moment, he did nothing but cooperate with Hong Qing to stage a grand drama of harmony between uncle and nephew. The road is easy to go.

"The Twelfth Uncle is a man of high righteousness, and he is a role model for my nephew. Now that my nephew has arrived, the handover should be done quickly. But before that, my nephew still has a few things to deal with first. Uncle Twelve, please wait a moment."

Hong Qing flattered the Twelfth Master with a smile all over her face, then changed the subject and asked for a postponement of the handover.

"It's okay, nephew has something, just deal with it and wait for uncle."

Hong Qing's request was reasonable in the first place, Master Twelfth would not have any objections at all, and besides, even if he had, he would not dare to say "no".

"Thank you Uncle Twelve for your kindness."

After Hong Qing thanked politely, she stopped talking to the Twelfth Master, but looked solemnly, and looked around at all the people sitting in the hall, her gaze was as sharp as a knife, piercing everyone's eyes. He lowered his head, not daring to make eye contact with Hong Qing, Dai Zi and the others were fine with it, although they were startled but not panicked, but Chen Busi and Qi Dazuo couldn't stop trembling, I was really afraid that this would be the end of it all. He became the soul under the knife of Hong Qing's method, but they were obviously worried for nothing. Although Hong Qing's eyes stayed on them for a while, he didn't say anything to reprimand him, burning In the end, his eyes fell on Hongli, who was ashen-faced.

"Little brother has seen Brother Qing!"

After Hongli confronted Hongqing coldly for a while, he finally couldn't bear it any longer and had to bite the bullet and get up and bow his hands to say hello.

"Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, what business do you come here today?"

Hong Qing accepted Hongli's gift very calmly, and asked a question casually.

"It's good for Brother Qing to know that the younger brother heard that the affairs of the Ministry of Industry were delayed because of Brother Qing's itching. I was afraid of making mistakes, and I was very worried. It happened that Uncle Twelfth had an invitation, so my younger brother had the audacity to come to help."

Now that the field is like this, with Hongli's IQ, how can he not see that Hongqing is here for him, and I can't help but feel quite uneasy, but the city is deep, and there will be no mistakes in words, so I replied When Hong Qing asked, she was still very calm.

"Oh? Uncle Twelve, did you invite Brother Li to come here?"

Hong Qing didn't comment on Hongli's answer, but quietly let out a soft voice, and kicked the ball to Twelfth Master.

"My nephew misunderstood, how could Uncle Wei act so recklessly, Brother Li came here uninvited this morning, saying that he wanted to assist Uncle in completing the handover in the name of an assistant from the Ministry of Industry. It’s really hard to refuse, so let’s just let him do what he wants.”

The Twelfth Master spread his hands innocently, and denied it completely.

"you……"

As early as when Hongqing appeared, Hongli knew that he might have fallen into Hongqing's trap, but he still had a little bit of luck in his heart, hoping that the twelfth master would find out with a conscience once, and would not make a mistake. He openly betrayed himself, but when he heard Twelfth Master's words at this moment, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he was so angry that he almost started cursing. Fortunately, his reason was not lost, and the angry words just started Then he forcibly held back.

"So that's the case, can Brother Li give an explanation to Brother Wei, why should you come to the Ministry of Industry to handle the handover, huh?"

Dogs in the water always have to be beaten hard, Hong Qing would never show any kindness to such a formidable enemy as Hongli, her complexion sank, and she asked unceremoniously.

"Brother Qing, I learned from you. As the deputy of the Ministry of Industry, I can't just sit back and watch the various affairs of the Ministry of Industry be delayed. Since Brother Qing is sick, I should come forward. As far as Chao Gang is concerned, there should be no big difference. stop?"

Even though he knew he was doomed today, Hongli definitely didn't want to sit and wait for death, so he gritted his teeth and issued a rhetorical question forcefully.

"Associate from the Ministry of Industry? Oh, Brother Wei really forgot that Brother Li still has such a title. I don't know how much Brother Li knows about the affairs of the Ministry of Industry? Obtained the order? If not, I really don’t know what virtue and ability I have, my brother, dare to do such a thing of superseding the Zu, I have to give this king an explanation!”

As soon as Hongli's tough attitude came out, Hongqing's complexion immediately sank, and a fierce aura suddenly rose, and he uttered a series of shouting questions mercilessly, which immediately made Hongli's expression extremely ugly...
