Kowloon wins

Chapter 712 Unexpected Will

"Grandson kowtowed to Huang Mafa!"

Fang Yi entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and when he saw the old man sitting on the dragon bed, he was talking with Zhang Tingyu and Fang Bao in a low voice. There are too many visits for a big gift.

"Forget it, just be flat."

Seeing that Hong Qing had arrived, the smile on the old man's face immediately became brighter, he raised his hand, and yelled very warmly.

"Thank you Emperor Mafalong, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Since the old man shouted, Xie En was the proper meaning of the question, but there was nothing to say.

"Qing'er came to see me early in the morning, but is there anything important?"

The old man didn't talk nonsense, and got straight to the point.

"If you go back to Huang Mafa, my grandson is ordered to supervise the review of military expenditures, and now the results have been obtained. I am here to report to Huang Mafa to know."

Hearing the old man's question, Hong Qing didn't dare to be negligent, she hurriedly shook her hands, took out three booklets from her wide sleeves, held them with both hands, and raised them high above her head.

"Oh? Pass it up!"

Although the old man has been paying attention to the review of military expenditures these days, he has never investigated the details. Generally speaking, he only cares about whether there will be a big mess, but he doesn't care much about the details. He didn't expect Hong Qing To be able to complete the errand so quickly, after a moment of surprise, curiosity immediately aroused.

"twitter!"

As soon as the old man said this, Qin Wuyong, who was waiting by his side, didn't dare to hesitate a bit, he hurriedly agreed loudly, trotted down the front door, stretched out his hand to take the folder in Hong Qing's hand, turned around, and walked back quickly When he got to the dragon case, he handed all three notebooks to the old man.

"Well, let's take a look at it too."

Among the three notebooks, except for the one that Hong Qing and Baye jointly recommended Ning Zhang A as the arsenal doctor, the number of words is relatively small, the other two are all big tomes, one is jointly signed by Hong Qing and Lao Shisan The summary of the military strategy on the Western Front, and the other is the review report on military expenditures drafted by Hong Qing alone. Impatient, he went through them one by one carefully, but he did not rush to make a decision, but waved his hand, signaling Qin Wuyong to pass the three books to Zhang and Fang for review.

"Okay, let's talk about it, what do you think about the three chapters, I'm listening."

Both Zhang and Fang have amazing memories. They read the booklets very quickly. It is not an exaggeration to say that they can see ten lines at a glance. In less than a stick of incense, they have already collected all three books. After going through it again, upon seeing this, the old man didn't keep silent anymore, waved his hand, and gave the order in an unquestionable tone.

"Your Majesty, I am not familiar with military strategy, but I still have a little understanding of the ever-changing military situation. Although King Ren's plan is quite insightful, I am afraid that there will be a lot of restrictions on the leading generals. Whether it is beneficial or not has to be carefully considered.”

Zhang Tingyu is the number one person in the Central Committee. If the old man asks a question, he must answer first. However, he did not express his opinion on the sensitive review of military expenditures, but questioned the military strategy on the Western Front. Obviously There is a suspicion of avoiding the important ones.

"Can Qing'er explain this?"

The old man did not comment on Zhang Tingyu's opinion, but threw the question to Hong Qing.

"If you go back to Huang Mafa, it has been more than two years since our army was conscripted and transferred to the western front, and it has been a year and a half since we went to Tibet and even the Junggar Khanate. The huge military expenditure is second, and the fatigue of the veterans is a big taboo for military strategists. In the next year or so, if the enemy cannot be wiped out, we have to beware of the bandits' massive counterattack, so my grandson thinks that the strategy of round-robin battle is essential, so that we can keep the strength of our frontline army undiminished."

Since Hong Qing dared to suggest this, she was already ready to stop. Regarding Zhang Tingyu's doubts, Hong Qing would not take it to heart, and gave an explanation casually.

"Well, after reading this brochure, I will send it to the old fourteen first, and make a decision after seeing the reaction from the old fourteen."

The old man is the emperor on horseback, so he knows that what Hongqing said is true, there is nothing else, the old man has personally conquered Junggar several times, and the reason why he has never wiped out the country is that the Junggar tribe is nomadic. He was skilled in riding, and once he was defeated in a battle, he scattered in all directions, and the suppression could not be finished. When the Qing army retreated for a while, those defeated Junggar soldiers could quickly gather into an army. Tired, and finally did not wait for the withdrawal of troops to settle the matter. Although the Qing army dispatched 30 troops this time, it was considered to be the largest number of troops used in previous expeditions. However, the Junggar tribes avoided fighting and traded space for time. The game is obvious It is a strategy of exhausting troops. If there is no preparation, in the end, the Qing army will suffer a lot. Because of this, the old man actually agrees with Hong Qing's suggestion in his heart, but the leader in front is the old fourteen, the old man But it's not easy to forcibly issue an edict to force him to submit, so he can only give a compromise view in a deep voice.

"Huang Ma Fa Sheng Ming!"

Now that the old man has made a decision, even if Hong Qing has other ideas in his heart, he can only praise it and let it go.

"Well, as for the rest of the matter, I think that's how it should be done."

As soon as the military strategy was decided, the old man didn't ask any more questions, and he didn't even comment on the matter that the Ministry of Industry and Finance were transferred to the Ministry of Households for unified management, and he agreed to Hong Qing's request casually.

"Yes, grandson complies."

The reason why Hong Qing put forward the round war plan was not only considering the purpose of reducing military expenditure, but more because he wanted to limit the scale and duration of this battle, and minimize the possibility of the old fourteen embracing his troops. The old man didn't agree, even though Hong Qing was unwilling, she had no choice but to obediently accept the promise.

"Well, let's go and do it ourselves."

The old man didn't keep Hongqing any longer, he made up his mind and waved his hand to retreat.

"Cha, my grandson is leaving."

Although the old man agreed to all other matters, the most fundamental purpose - to restrict the old fourteen, has fallen into emptiness, and Hong Qing couldn't help feeling a little helpless in her heart, but Hong Qing didn't dare to say anything more after the matter was over. Hey, I can only respectfully respond, and then I quit the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and went to discuss all kinds of matters without mentioning it.

"how?"

As Hong Qing went, the old man immediately reached out and patted the three notebooks on the dragon case, and some of them groaned without beginning or end.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I believe that King Renjun's actions are indeed out of public interest. Even if there is a concealment, it is for the sake of the stability of the country, and his loyalty is commendable."

Although the old man meant nothing in his words, Zhang Tingyu understood the meaning and dared not hesitate a bit, so he hurriedly stood up from the side and cautiously remonstrated.

"Well, what does Mr. Lingao think?"

The old man did not comment on Zhang Tingyu's words, but looked sideways at Fang Bao who was silent, and asked in a calm voice.

"As Zhang Xiang said."

Fang Bao bowed his body and replied concisely.

"Well... let's draw up an order."

The old man didn't ask any more questions, and after he let out a sigh of relief, he waved his hand and gave an order in a low voice. The little eunuchs with their attendants hurriedly fetched the pens and ink and the blank edict, while Zhang Tingyu hurriedly Then he walked to the dragon case, took a Langhao pen from the pen holder, dipped it in the ink, and put on a look of listening to the instructions...

"My lord, the imperial decree has arrived!"

After coming out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Hong Qing did not leave the palace, but went directly to the rotating office of the center outside the Meridian Gate. It was not that he did not want to deal with the follow-up matters regarding the review of military expenditures, but that he could not, nothing else , although the old man verbally agreed to all the requests, but the imperial edict had not been issued after all, Hong Qing just wanted to do it and couldn't do it. He originally wanted to approve some papers to pass the time, but he was very anxious and spent most of the day. , I didn't make a few notes, I always felt that there was something wrong with today's meeting, but I couldn't see where it was wrong. I was feeling restless, but I saw Guan Yu hurriedly turned from behind the screen, After a few big strides, she rushed to Hong Qing's side, bowed her body, and hastily said a word to report.

"Ah."

When the imperial decree arrived, Hong Qing didn't think too much about it, she just thought that it was the edict that the old man had approved military expenditures and reviewed everything, so she responded casually, then got up and walked outside.

"Your Majesty has a decree, King Renjun listens to it."

Qin Wuyong led two young eunuchs who had already stood outside the office door, seeing Hong Qing coming out, he hurriedly bowed to signal, and then his expression became serious, and he proclaimed in a drawn-out tone.

"Minister, Ai Jue Silla? Hong Qing respectfully listened to the hadith."

Hearing Qin Wuyong proclaiming the Dharma like this, Hong Qing didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, knelt down on the ground in a hurry, and shouted according to the procedure.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Prince Renjun Aixinjueluo? Lord Hongqing is loyal to the country, has a good body and a sacred heart, and eats the prince's salary. He ranks in the center and is also the assistant of the Ministry of Officials. I admire you!"

After Hong Qing knelt down, Qin Wuyong shook his hands, spread out the imperial decree he was holding, cleared his throat slightly, and proclaimed it in a dragging tone.

What?How could this be so!

The imperial edict was very short, just a few sentences, but in Hong Qing's ears, it was like a thunderbolt, and she forgot to thank her for a moment, nothing else, the official department has always been in charge of the old man, let alone brothers, It was that when Yinfeng was the crown prince, he didn't take any part in the official department, but now the old man actually gave Hong Qing the title of deputy official department, the implication in it is too thought-provoking.

"Cough cough."

Seeing that Hongqing didn't respond for a while, Qin Wuyong, who was holding the imperial decree in his hands, felt a little unsteady, and hurriedly coughed twice as a reminder.

"Thank you, my minister, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Being reminded by Qin Wuyong, Hong Qing immediately came to her senses, and hurriedly thanked her according to the imperial regulations.

"Congratulations, my lord. This old servant still has two copies of His Majesty's reply, please keep them."

After Hong Qing thanked her, Qin Wuyong handed the rolled-up imperial edict to Hong Qing's hand, then shook his hands, took out two notebooks from his wide sleeves, and handed them to Hong Qing.

"Thank you, Eunuch Qin."

Hong Qing thanked respectfully, first stuffed the imperial edict into her wide sleeves, then stretched out her hand to take the two brochures, glanced at them, and immediately found that the two brochures were exactly what she had kept earlier. Now, with a heartbeat, I quickly opened it, and saw the old man's Zhu Zhu on it, just one word - sure, the tense heartstrings were immediately loosened...
