Kowloon wins

Chapter 702

"Shangshu Zhao Shenqiao led a group of colleagues to kowtow to Prince Yong and King Renjun!"

When it comes to the number of officials, the Ministry of Households is second only to the Ministry of Punishment, but when it comes to the number of mid-level officials above Lang Zhong, the Ministry of Households is the largest among the six departments, with a total of 32 clean officials and [-] departments. There are a total of [-] palm print doctors, if you count the divisions and directors, there are more than [-] officials above the head of the entire household department. With so many people attending the ceremony together, the noise is really deafening. Fortunately, the fourth master Both Hongqing and Hongqing are people who are used to seeing big scenes, so they will not lose their composure because of this, and they all sat still in a leisurely manner.

"Zhao Shangshu, gentlemen, please be at peace."

The fourth master's seniority and title are higher than Hong Qing's, but Hong Qing is an imperial envoy at this time, representing the old man, so Hong Qing has to be the one to speak up about something like this .

"Thank you, Lord Long!"

Everyone knew that Hong Qing's coming here must be unkind, and the voices of the officials, big and small, were very loud, but after getting up, no one dared to stand upright, and they all bowed in a respectful manner, Quietly waiting for Hong Qing's instruction.

"My lords, I was shocked to hear that the national treasury was empty, and the Sacred Heart was very worried. I specially ordered this king to transfer the household and military departments to check the authenticity. If there are any omissions, make them up immediately, and if there are mistakes, they will be corrected as soon as possible, if there are those who conceal and fail to report, they should be punished as the crime of resisting the order and not obeying the order, do you understand, huh?"

Hong Qing didn't give the seat, but just let the officials stand in the hall, glanced at everyone solemnly, and gave orders in a cold voice.

"Your official will obey the order of the prince!"

All the officials didn't expect that Hong Qing would give orders as soon as they came up, and they didn't even have to be polite. They really didn't know how to deal with it for a while, but Zhao Shenqiao reacted very quickly, and he was already high in the hurry. The voice agreed.

"Well, this king can trust Zhao Shangshu to handle affairs, so I will take charge of this matter."

Hongqing didn't care about the silence of the household officials at all, and didn't ask the fourth master for instructions, so she handed over the responsibility of presiding over the overall situation to Zhao Shenqiao.

"Hey, the next official should do his best!"

Zhao Shenqiao had already communicated with Hongqing in advance, so there would be no objection at all at this moment, and before all the officials came back to their senses, he had already agreed loudly.

"Ah."

Hong Qing was obviously very satisfied with Zhao Shenqiao's statement, but didn't say much, just nodded approvingly, then looked sideways at Si Ye who was sitting beside him with a dark face, cupped her hands, and said politely Said: "Fourth uncle, do you think this arrangement is good?"

"It's better to do this first."

Seeing Hong Qing and Zhao Shenqiao playing tacit understanding there, Si Ye couldn't help but feel furious in his heart. The problem is that Hong Qing is an imperial envoy, and he wants to arrange things, even if Si Ye is the Prince of Guanbu Can't forcibly interfere, and then think about it, it's up to his fourth master to decide whether to check himself or not, and he doesn't want to tear his face with Hong Qing at this moment, his brows are wrinkled, and finally Still reluctantly agreed with Hong Qing's proposition.

"Thank you, fourth uncle, for your kindness. Well, time is running out, so there is no need to discuss matters. After three days, just give the king a result, and you all go to work."

As soon as Fourth Master said these words, Hong Qing's mouth immediately showed a faint smile that was almost imperceptible, and with a wave of her hand, she announced the end of the discussion.

"Om..."

All the discussions are time for wrangling, and all the officials are old-fashioned. Since they got the notice of this morning's meeting yesterday, they have made sufficient preparations. They never expected that Hong Qing would go to such a point, they couldn't help being surprised, they forgot to say thank you for a while, they all chattered in the hall, the noise was as loud as if it was a vegetable market.

"It's so noisy, don't hurry up and back down!"

Seeing that the officials under his command were so disrespectful, Fourth Master's already ugly face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He slapped the copy in annoyance and scolded him angrily.

"twitter!"

The fourth master is the one and only master in the household department. When he got angry like this, all the officials below were not afraid, and they all hurriedly complied with the promise, and they all left the lobby together, and went to discuss related matters. carry.

"Fourth uncle, my nephew still has some mundane affairs to do at the military department, so I won't stay any longer. Farewell, farewell."

As soon as the officials retreated, Hong Qing got up immediately, and without giving Si Ye a chance to ask, he said a haha, left behind a few polite words, and left Shi Shiran.

"What the hell is this bastard trying to do?"

The fourth master really didn't expect Hongqing's so-called discussion to be such a way of discussion. He tried his best, but couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Hongqing's gourd. Looking at his back as he walked away, The fourth master's brows were already furrowed into the word "Chuan", and he sat in the hall in a daze. After a long period of daze, he still got nothing. In desperation, he could only shake his hand with a wry smile. Shaking his head, the corner of his mouth twitched and murmured...

"My lord, the Thirteenth Lord is here."

What do you want to do?In fact, Hong Qing didn't do anything. As soon as she got back to the Ministry of War, she got into her office, sat lazily on the Taishi chair, and sipped tea very leisurely. Thinking about passing food on to others, he saw Li Minxing strode out from behind the screen, rushed to the front with a few strides, and hurriedly made a report.

"Ha, it's just in time, please hurry up!"

Hearing that the old thirteen had arrived, Hong Qing laughed, but she still sat lazily, waved her hands casually, and ordered in a nonchalant manner.

"twitter!"

Since Hong Qing had given her orders, Li Minxing didn't dare to neglect her, and hurriedly responded, and then hurried out of the office. Immediately after seeing the old thirteen turn around from the screen with a red face, she ignored Hong Qing. Qing stood up to greet her, walked to the chair with big strides, lifted the hem of her robe, and leaned back on the grand teacher's chair.

"Hey, my little nephew Guan Shisan's complexion is ruddy, he must have encountered a big happy event? Ha, let my little nephew guess, um, could it be that someone has reported on the fraud in the Arsenal?"

Seeing that the old thirteen was smiling all over his face, Hong Qing suddenly laughed, and talked a lot in a teasing tone.

"Huh? Could it be that your kid arranged this?"

The old thirteen was complacent, when he suddenly heard Hong Qing's answer to the riddle, his eyes immediately widened, he looked at Hong Qing suspiciously, then frowned, and asked back with a bit of displeasure.

"What is Thirteenth Uncle talking about? How can my nephew be so busy? Hey, it's just that my fourth uncle thinks my nephew is too idle. He is looking for something for my nephew to do."

Facing Old Thirteen's cold eyes, Hong Qing didn't care at all, she shrugged her shoulders indifferently, and explained with a smile.

"Hey, that's all, no matter who instigated this matter, I feel that the matter of the arsenal must be investigated. If it is so stupid and the case is broken, it will be a good thing to eat a bullet later Just kidding."

Although the old thirteen and the fourth master had broken up, after all, they had a good relationship since they were young, and they really didn't want to judge the fourth master indiscriminately, so they made a perfunctory sentence before turning to the topic.

"Oh? Thirteenth Uncle got some rare news again. Would you like to come and hear it from my nephew?"

Although she had expected that the fourth master would throw out fierce news, but when it comes to the specifics, Hong Qing really couldn't guess it. It really got up, so he asked with a smile.

"Five guns are missing from the arsenal account, two heavy and three light, and a batch of sabers, guns and bows are also scrapped strangely, isn't this a small matter?"

Although the old thirteen has long been used to Hong Qing's tired and lazy appearance, but seeing Hong Qing's playful smile without any seriousness, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said the frightening news he had received angrily.

"Oh?"

Five cannons plus a large number of cold weapons, such a theft case is really not small. If you don’t know about it, once it becomes big, uncle Hongqing and nephew will have to go around. The whole situation cannot be turned upside down, and this is not a situation that Hong Qing likes to see. The problem is obviously a little complicated. Even though Hong Qing is naturally calm, she can't help but frown, but he is not in a hurry to make another move. Assert, just whispered noncommittally.

"Heh, whether to check or not, you decide for yourself."

Although the old thirteen agreed to do his best to cooperate with Hong Qing, but in the bottom of his heart, he still had some thoughts in his heart to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power in the Ministry of War, but it was not easy to announce it. Now, since he has such a big case in hand, Thirteenth Master's heart moved again. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the words clearly carried a sense of urgency.

"Haha, thank you uncles for being so respectful, hey, the little nephew just laughs and accepts it, check! Let's make a big noise and see if the eighth uncle is in a hurry or not!"

Hong Qing didn't hesitate for a long time, rolled her eyes, and had already calculated all the matters. With confidence in her heart, she laughed, waved her hand, and gave the answer boldly.

"Ok?"

Seeing that Hong Qing was so straightforward, the old thirteen couldn't help feeling suspicious, and glanced at Hong Qing in surprise, but didn't make a statement, apparently waiting for Hong Qing to give an explanation.

"Uncle Thirteen, the so-called knocking the mountain to shake the tiger, if you don't knock it louder, the tiger will probably not show up, what do you think?"

Hong Qing didn't keep old Shisan waiting for long, she smiled calmly, spread her hands, and gave the answer with a smile.

"Hey, you're a ruthless boy, well, let's stop talking nonsense with you, sir, let's beat the drums!"

Hearing Hong Qing's words, the luck in Old Shisan's heart inevitably dissipated. Although he was a bit unwilling, he didn't insist on it, but left a word of confession, got up and left ...
