Chapter 717: An Unexpected Will
"Grandson knocks on Huang Marfa!"
Fang and his entourage entered the palace of nourishing the heart, and when they saw the old man sitting on the dragon bed, he was laughing and talking with Zhang Tingyu and Fang Bao in a low voice.
"Excuse me, just settle down."
Seeing that Hongqing had arrived, the smile on the old man's face immediately became a little brighter, and he raised his hand and called out very kindly.
"Thank Emperor Mafaronen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Since the old man called out, thanksgiving is the proper meaning of the question, but there is nothing to say.
"Qing'er came to see me early in the morning, but what is the important business?"
The old man didn't talk much nonsense, and went straight to the point.
"If you go back to Huang Mafa, my grandson was ordered to supervise the review of military expenditures, and now there is a result, and I am here to know about Huang Mafa."
Hearing the old man's question, Hongqing didn't dare to slack off a little, shook his hands hurriedly, took out three folds from the wide sleeves, held them in both hands, and raised them high above his head.
"Oh? Hand it over! ”
Although the old man has also paid attention to the review of military spending in the past few days, he has not investigated it in detail, and is generally only concerned about whether there will be a big mess, but he doesn't care much about the details, since he didn't expect Hongqing to be able to complete the mission so quickly, and after being stunned, his curiosity immediately rose.
"Wow!"
As soon as the old man said this, Qin Wuyong, who was waiting on the side, didn't dare to delay it slightly, hurriedly answered the promise in a loud voice, trotted down the front pier, stretched out his hand to take the fold in Hongqing's hand, turned around, and hurried back to the dragon case, handing all the three folds to the old man.
"Well, let's take a look."
Among the three excerpts, in addition to the small number of words in the excerpts in the palm seal of the arsenal jointly sponsored by Hongqing and the eighth master, the other two are mostly tomes, one is a summary of the military strategy of the Western Front jointly signed by Hongqing and the old thirteen, and the other is a military expenditure review report drafted by Hongqing alone, both of which are more than ten pages long, even if it is a glance and ten lines, it takes a lot of time, but the old man is not impatient, and goes through them one by one, but he is not in a hurry to give a decision, but waved his hand, Motioned to Qin Wuyong to hand over the three excerpts to Zhang and Fang for review.
"Okay, let's talk about it, what do you think about these three chapters, I'll listen."
Zhang and Fang are both people with amazing memory, looking at the excerpts, they are very fast, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are ten lines at a glance, just a stick of incense in less time, the two have already gone through all the three folds, as soon as they saw this, the old man did not remain silent anymore, waved his hand, and gave an order in an unquestionable tone.
"Your Majesty, the minister is not familiar with military strategy, however, the reason for the ever-changing military situation is still slightly understood, although it seems that the plan of the king of Renjun is quite insightful, but I am afraid that there are many restrictions on the leading generals, in the war, whether it is beneficial or not, it still needs to be carefully considered."
Zhang Tingyu is the number one person in the center, and when the old man asks, he has to answer first, but he does not express his opinion on the sensitive review of military expenditures, but questions the military strategy of the Western Front, and is obviously suspected of avoiding the important and trivializing.
"Does Qing'er have any explanation for this?"
The old man did not comment on Zhang Tingyu's opinion, but threw the question to Hongqing.
"If you go back to Huang Mafa, our army has been on the western front for more than two years, and it has been a year and a half since the expedition to the Tibetan border and even the Dzungar Khanate, and the huge military expenditure is secondary, and the fatigue of the division veterans is a taboo for soldiers.
Since Hongqing dared to mention this, he was naturally ready to stop a long time ago, and Hongqing would not take Zhang Tingyu's doubts to heart, and gave an explanation casually.
"Well, I saw this fold and sent it to the old fourteen first, and then I decided to see how the old fourteen reacted."
The old man is the emperor on horseback, since he knows that what Hongqing said is true, there is no other, the old man has personally conquered Dzungaria several times, the reason why he has never exterminated the country, the reason is that the Dzungar Department is a nomadic people, all of them are skilled in riding, a defeat will be scattered in all directions, and the suppression can not be finished, and so the Qing army retreats slightly, those defeated Dzungar soldiers can quickly gather into an army, fight a few more battles, the Qing army will be tired, and finally do not wait to withdraw the army, and this time the Qing army said that it dispatched 300,000 troops, It is the most used troops in the previous expeditions, but the Dzungar tribes avoided not fighting, exchanging space for time, and playing is obviously a tired strategy, if there is nothing to prepare, in the end, the Qing army has to suffer a big loss, because of this, the old man actually agrees with Hongqing's construction in his heart, but the leader in front is the old fourteen, but the old man is not good at forcibly issuing an edict to force him to comply, so he can only give a compromise view in a deep voice.
"Emperor Marfa Shengming!"
Since the old man has made a decision, even if Hongqing has other ideas in his heart, he can only praise the last thing.
"Well, as for the rest, I'll leave it at that."
As soon as the matter of military strategy was decided, the old man did not ask the rest more, and he did not even comment on the transfer of the Ministry of Industry and the bank to the Ministry of Household for unified management, and the faction casually agreed to Hongqing's request.
"Yes, grandson."
The reason why Hongqing proposed the round battle plan was not only to reduce military spending, but also to limit the scale and time of this campaign, and to reduce the possibility of the old fourteen supporting the army and self-respect, but the old man did not agree, even if Hongqing was unwilling, but he had no choice but to honestly bow down and obey the promise.
"Well, let's go about it."
The old man didn't stay any longer, and after a certain discussion, he waved his hand and called back.
"Oh, my grandson is leaving."
Although the old man allowed the rest of the matters, but the most fundamental purpose - to restrict the old fourteen, but it fell into the void, Hongqing couldn't help but feel a little helpless in his heart, but the matter has come to this, Hongqing didn't dare to say more, so he could only respond respectfully, and then withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace, and went to Zhang Luo to mention all kinds of matters.
"How?"
Hongqing went, and the old man immediately reached out and patted the three folds on the dragon case, and some of them snorted without a head or tail.
"If you go back to your majesty, the minister thinks that the king of Renjun is indeed out of public interest, even if there is something to hide, it is also for the sake of the stability of the society, and his loyalty is commendable."
Although the old man didn't mean anything in his words, Zhang Tingyu understood the meaning, and he didn't dare to delay it slightly, so he hurriedly stood up from the side and cautiously admonished.
"Well, what does Mr. Lingao think?"
The old man did not comment on Zhang Tingyu's words, but looked sideways at the silent Fang Bao, and asked indifferently.
"Just as Zhang Xiang said."
Fang Bao bowed down and replied succinctly.
"Well...... it's going to be done."
The old man didn't ask any more questions, and after he breathed a sigh of relief, he waved his hand and ordered in a low voice, and the little eunuchs who were accompanying him hurriedly took the pen and ink and the blank edict, while Zhang Tingyu hurriedly walked to the side of the dragon case, took a wolf pen from the pen stand, dipped it in ink, and put on the appearance of listening to the instructions......
"Lord Wang, the holy decree has arrived!"
After coming out of the Palace of Nourishing Heart, Hongqing did not leave the palace, but went directly to the central rotating office outside the noon gate, not that he didn't want to do the follow-up matters of reviewing military expenditures, but he couldn't, there was no other, although the old man verbally agreed to all the invitations, but after all, the edict had not been issued, Hongqing just wanted to do it and couldn't do it, originally wanted to approve some excerpts to pass the time, but he was very anxious, most of the time, he was stunned that he didn't come up with a few excerpts, and he always felt that today's audience tasted wrong, I couldn't see what was wrong, and I was irritable, but I saw Guanyu hurriedly turn out from behind the screen, and a few strides came to Hongqing's side, bowed, and hurriedly said a word.
"Hmm."
When the holy decree arrived, Hongqing didn't think much about it, but thought that it should be the edict that the old man had approved the military expenditure to review all matters, so he casually answered, and then got up and walked outside.
"Your Majesty has a will, and the king of Renjun listens to the announcement."
Qin Wuyong led the two little eunuchs to stand outside the door of the office, and when he saw Hongqing coming out, he hurriedly bowed down and signaled, and then he immediately turned pale and procrastinated.
"Minister, Aigaku Silla? Hongqing listened to the hadith. ”
Hearing Qin Wuyong's proclamation of the Fa, Hongqing didn't dare to be the slightest slack, so he fell to his knees and shouted according to the procedure.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: King Renjun loves Xinjueluo? Hongqing Gong is loyal to the country, good at the sacred heart, eats the prince Lu, ranks in the center and is also the assistant of the ministry, admire this! ”
After Hongqing knelt down, Qin Wuyong shook his hand, spread out the holy decree he was holding, cleared his throat slightly, and proclaimed it in a procrastinating tone.
What the? How so!
The edict is very short, just a few sentences, but in Hongqing's ears, but it is like a thunderbolt, and for a while he forgot to thank him, no side, the officials have always been in charge of the old man, not to mention the brothers, that is, when Yinren was the prince, he did not interfere in the part of the officials, and now the old man actually gave Hongqing the name of the assistant of the officials, and the meaning is inevitably too thought-provoking.
"Ahem."
Seeing that Hongqing didn't react for a long time, Qin Wuyong, who was holding the holy decree in his hand, couldn't hold it a little steady, and hurriedly coughed twice as a reminder.
"Thanksgiving, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Being reminded by Qin Wuyong like this, Hongqing immediately came to his senses and hurriedly thanked him according to the court rules.
"Congratulations to the prince, the old slave still has two excerpts approved by His Majesty here, please keep them."
As soon as Hongqing thanked him, Qin Wuyong handed the rolled edict to Hongqing's hand, and then shook his hand, took out two folds from his wide sleeves and handed them to Hongqing.
"There is Lao Qin's father-in-law."
Hongqing thanked respectfully, first stuffed the edict into the wide sleeves, and then reached out to take the two folds, only glanced at them, and immediately found that the two folds were exactly where they were earlier......
