Chapter 1197 The power is delivered, ask for a monthly ticket)
"Nani?"
Li Qi's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, his expression was very exaggerated, "Mother-in-law, you---why did you say that?"
Mrs. Bai said: "It's very simple, because Qin Hui is manipulating all this behind the scenes."
Li Qi's eyes slid slightly, but he said curiously: "This is impossible, Qin Hui didn't say a word, and this matter has always revolved around the Third Division, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ordnance Supervisor, and Qin Hui
It doesn’t matter at all.”
"It doesn't matter whether he speaks or not. As a powerful minister, he doesn't need to open his mouth to do many things. Naturally, someone will speak for him. As long as the result has something to do with him."
"result?"
Li Qi scratched his head and said: "The result is that it has something to do with him, but that is entirely my own fault - are you saying that Qin Hui had expected that I would say this?"
Mrs. Bai hummed and said: "Under the system of our dynasty, it is actually very difficult for the prime minister to control the finances. However, if he completely loses his financial power, many things will be constrained. For the prime minister, it is absolutely impossible.
This is not a good thing, so every prime minister will try to seize part of the financial power from the Third Division or the Ministry of Household Affairs. Even wise prime ministers such as Wang Anshi and Sima Guang are no exception. As for Cai Taishi and Wang Fu, you should know it all too well.
Their method of controlling finances is to Yingfengju, and the emergence of Yingfengju was, to a certain extent, equivalent to taking part of the financial power from the Third Division."
Li Qidao: "I know this, but if Qin Hui wants to handle the Yingfeng Bureau, it will be like asking for trouble."
"That's right!" Mrs. Bai nodded and said: "As a minister under the current emperor, if you still want to use the Yingfeng Bureau to seize financial power, it is definitely not feasible, and the three divisions have been broken into parts and established as three divisions.
Secretary, it shows the emperor's intentions, so the path of the Third Division will not work. However, the independence of the Ordnance Supervisor and the huge sales of weapons have led to more and more money in the Ordnance Supervisor, and it has become the main financial source of the country.
Even the Third Division did not dare to underestimate the income. This was the only way Qin Hui could seize financial power.
It's just that he is the prime minister, and it is inconvenient for him to directly intervene in matters involving financial power, so he came up with this method, digging a hole for you to jump into. The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue suggested that the Third Division take back the financial power of the Military Supervisor.
It's just a grand excuse. I have to say that his excuse was very good and the timing was just right. Now that the national treasury is empty and the emergence of new laws has reduced a lot of the court's income to a certain extent, the Third Division has nothing to do, but
Your Ordnance Supervisor is making a lot of money. There seems to be a tendency to create an empty Third Division, which is not a good thing for the development of the country, so it is reasonable for the Third Division to take back the financial power of the Ordnance Supervision."
Li Qidao: "But Qin Hui knows that I won't hand it over easily."
Mrs. Bai smiled and said: "But you have to pay it. So Qin Hui expects that you will definitely go to the Commerce Bureau with part of it, because Qiniang is your wife, so that you can avoid the loss of most of the property. However, the reason you are looking for,
It must be a new law, and the emperor had handed over the new law to Qin Hui and the Bureau of Commerce to manage it. Qin Hui also had part of the financial power. All of this was very carefully calculated without any flaws. This man's city government
His tactics and strategies are definitely not inferior to those of Grand Master and Wang Fu."
Sweat! You know so well at home, how can I still fool around? Fortunately, I hid it from you. Li Qi muttered to himself, suddenly slapped the armrest of the chair, stood up and said: "How can this be unreasonable? How can it be unreasonable? He
I single-handedly promoted you, mother, but in just a few days, you started to take advantage of me. I will cut that ungrateful person into pieces right now."
After that, he strode outside.
"stop."
"Mother-in-law, please don't stop me. Anyone who wants to take money from me will kill me. I'm not done with him."
Mrs. Bai smiled slightly and said slowly: "You forgot that Gao Yanei will come back later. If you want revenge, you don't care about this. Qin Hui won't leave anyway. Sit down."
Nemesis! Li Qi sighed secretly and had to sit back, saying with gratitude: "I didn't expect that Qin Hui turned out to be such a person. It really chills me. Mother-in-law, thank you for having me, otherwise I would have kept it in the dark.
They say that having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. This is absolutely true. Oh, mother-in-law, please don’t misunderstand me. I’m not talking about you. You look just like twenty-eight now. I mean it sincerely.
It’s my father-in-law.”
Although this is true, if Bai Shizhong heard it, he would probably be pissed to death.
Mrs. Bai ignored Li Qi's flattery and said: "Actually, this little bit of financial power is nothing to Qin Hui's ambition. He did this mainly to test you."
Damn! Can you give me a way to survive? Li Qi pursed his lips and said: "Could it be that this is another bridge in the water?"
Madam Bai was stunned, then smiled and said, "You can also say that."
Li Qidao: "Then I wonder what Qin Hui wants to test me for?"
Mrs. Bai said: "Don't you know?"
Li Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Mrs. Bai said: "Do you still remember that a long time ago, I told you that you are the safest without any power."
"Uh... I don't remember very clearly."
"really?"
"It seems---that's what happened."
Mrs. Bai said: "Although you held a lot of power at that time, if you continue to develop your own power, you will make all the ministers in the court afraid, including the Taishi and Taiwei who have always supported you.
Prince, or even the Emperor, this is not good for you. Moreover, with the help of the Grand Master and others, you don’t need to develop your own power. Although you seemed to be unstable and alone at the time, you have become the most unique power."
Li Qi flattered him and said, "My son-in-law has always kept his mother-in-law's wise words in his heart, and even now he dares not forget them."
Madam Bai smiled and said, "Do you remember it all?"
Li Qi's face suddenly stiffened and he nodded awkwardly.
Mrs. Bai continued: "In the past, what you did was the best policy, but now it is different. The Grand Master, the Grand Lieutenant, including our Bai family, have all withdrawn from the court, and you are the Privy Councilor, if not
It would be too dangerous if you were alone with your own power, but you don't seem to have any intention of doing so, and you seem to be deliberately avoiding this."
Li Qi frowned and sighed: "Mother-in-law, you should understand the principle of superior merit overtaking the master. I already have enough power. If I concentrate my power too much, it will be a taboo for the emperor. Let Qi Qi
Isn’t that why my mother was appointed as the economic envoy?"
Mrs. Bai said: "You must understand that power is not equal to power. Power plus power is power. This is what a high-ranking minister must have. As long as you can control power within the tolerance range of the emperor, then the emperor will not go
You can decentralize power if you care, but as an envoy to the Privy Council, you cannot live without your own power. Since Qin Hui took office as Shaozai, he has quickly established his own power, and now he has more than a hundred disciples. Qin Hui
What a smart man he is, doesn’t he understand the problem of having superior achievements over the master?”
Li Qidao: "Well--my situation is different from his."
"On this issue, you are all the same. The reason why Qin Hui did this is because he understood a truth, that is, the prime minister, the privy envoy, and the three envoys must check each other. This is what the emperor wants to see most, and
He and you cannot be compared with families such as the Zheng family and the Wang family. You do not have a strong family to support you in the court, and you are all alone. This situation is very special. Therefore, you must quickly establish your own power and create a
A new family, otherwise, will not be able to achieve the effect of mutual restraint. From a certain point of view, this is actually the emperor's tacit approval. If you want to establish your own power, the emperor will not have any idea, because this is also what you must
To have.
Take this incident as an example. Qin Hui was able to achieve his goal without saying a word. In this case, the Zheng family also hoped to see Zheng Yi get a share of the weapons supervision, so all the ministers came forward.
Force you to hand over your financial power. And what about you? You have no power and no one will stand up to help you. No matter how eloquent you are, you will always be outnumbered. Over time, this balance will be seriously tilted. This will
Especially for the privy envoys who may go on an expedition, it is actually very dangerous."
Li Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, thank you mother-in-law for reminding me. I will remember your mother-in-law's teachings."
Mrs. Bai shook her head and said: "Why do you need me to remind you of such a superficial truth? It's just that you have been pretending to be stupid. This is also the main reason why Qin Hui tested you, because your behavior is so abnormal, it really makes me sad."
People can't understand. If it were in the past, your age might still make people think you were too young and didn't understand the truth, but now, I believe no one with a slightly clear head would dare to look down on you."
Qin Hui took such a big detour because he wanted to test me, but after you said so much, it was not for this purpose. Li Qi couldn't help but frown secretly.
Mrs. Bai gave him a meaningful look and said: "It is undeniable that, in view of the last lesson, your abnormality does make me uneasy, but this uneasiness is not because I am afraid that you will hurt our Bai family again, because our Bai family
Now we are no longer qualified to be harmed by you, but the safety of our Bai family, big and small, is tied to you alone. No matter what the reason is, in short, our Bai family does not want to see anything happen to you.
.”
Li Qi pondered for a moment and said: "With military power, I don't need to be afraid of anyone."
Mrs. Bai opened her eyes and said, "Is there going to be another war soon?"
Li Qi raised his hands, waved them and said, "Mother-in-law, you might as well just tell your fortune - well, this is a military secret, you can't talk nonsense."
"Of course I understand this, but---."
But what? I have revealed such important information to you, and you are still chasing me. Li Qi felt inexplicably nervous. At this moment, a servant suddenly walked in and interrupted Mrs. Bai,
Said: "Madam, Gao Ya Nei is asking to see you outside the door."
Li Qi said quickly: "Please quickly invite Gao Yanei to come in."
