Chapter 4 The fourth time, the comforting minister Qianlong visited the prime minister's mansion to prevent the change of ethics, and the emperor pointed out marriage

"Old Six, why are you like this?" Qianlong forced a smile, and said slowly, "Don't be so heroic... You are only fifty years old this year, and I still expect you to serve the next generation of masters! You came back from Burma, I was worried about you at first, how many mountains and rivers you have to climb, and how many old forests you have to go through, for fear that you will not be able to survive. Now that you are in Beijing, this is your fate. With so many good medicines and medicines, you are not terminally ill , why bother to feel sorry for yourself like a woman?"

There was a smile on Fu Heng's face, his pale and slightly yellow face was like the moon about to sink into the mountain, with a desolation that seemed to be sad or joyful, he stared at Qianlong without blinking, his lips moved.Qianlong took advantage of the opportunity and sat on the chair in front of the couch, leaning his body to listen. "I will be satisfied to see my master again..." Fu Heng said in a weak voice, like a strand of gossamer blowing in the wind from afar, but it was very clear, even Hong Zhou who was standing behind Qianlong All the ministers could hear, "Your majesty was studying in Lama Temple, and I was a companion...studying in front of the emperor, and being naughty with him..." His eyelids flickered, as if reminiscing about the smoky past. At the happiest time of his life, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a childish smile, but he returned to the scene in front of him in just a blink of an eye: "...For more than forty years, it was all taught by the emperor, guided and guided. I came here. People... can have this great blessing in a lifetime, what else do you want? It's just... just... I defended the old Guantun, but I couldn't make any more... No matter how big I was, I used soldiers At the beginning, there were not many main battles between the Military Aircraft Department and the ministers. It was I who insisted on inviting Ying... I didn't win the battle, and I was tied up with the troops in the Northwest, wasting a lot of food... This is the biggest regret left by the slave, Your Majesty The slave must be dealt with severely, so that the slave can walk with peace of mind..." As he spoke, tears were streaming down his face.Bu Yi, who was kneeling in front of the bed, hurriedly took out a handkerchief from the eunuch and wiped it lightly for him. Qianlong said softly, "Using troops is a last resort. If I make a mistake, it is my first responsibility. When I recovered Meng Gong, I reward you with the three-eyed peacock feather. You wrote a memorial and said that you will receive the reward after you return with a complete victory. Since you have not overcome the enemy's nest, you just have to hand it back. Although you are not a complete victory, after all, you have forced Burma to submit a petition. Please reconcile, we still won. Don't blame yourself like this, I will feel bad after hearing it..." With tears in his eyes, his voice was as gentle as an elder brother talking to a younger brother, "Don't think about it, let's put everything in the back. Treat with peace of mind, let's talk when the illness is cured."

Fu Heng pursed his lips, as if gathering all his strength, and stared at Qianlong for a moment. After a long time, his face flushed, he swallowed, and said: "The political situation in Myanmar has stabilized, and it will be unfavorable to fight again." If it is fought with all the power of the country, it is not worthwhile to establish a permanent government under the jurisdiction. From Yunnan to Burma, there are 31,000 navy and army, and now only 13,000 remain. Not only can the military supplies and medicines be insufficient, It is also extremely difficult to mobilize troops. Our army... not many of our troops died in battle. They all died of miasma, plague, and poisonous oysters. The time, place, and people are not favorable, so I ask the master to order the withdrawal of troops, and we will do it according to the situation in the future. A soldier who surrenders without fighting is the ultimate victory.”

Ah Gui, who was standing by the side, was relieved at first, and then a feeling of admiration and admiration arose spontaneously. At the beginning, Fu Heng was the one who led the battle. Now that the retreating troops have returned without success, he simply admitted that he was "wrong" Not only the responsibility is not light, but also the face is completely swept away, and the honor and respect of the whole life are completely ignored!What a lot of determination and dedication!Looking at Fu Heng's peaceful face, Ah Gui's heart felt hot, and she said tearfully, "Chunhe Gong, don't think about these things, and don't talk about them... Your lord's holy candle can illuminate thousands of miles, so naturally there are proper arrangements." Hong Zhou also wept.But he still said with a smile: "Fu Lao Liu, save some strength, the emperor expects you to do a lot! I have whatever delicious and interesting things I want, if you think about it, just ask for it--up to you Speaking of Gao Shiqi's calligraphy and painting, I didn't want to give it to you, but I brought it today and gave it to Tang'er..." He said with a smile, already choked up.

"Fifth Master also has a long-term relationship with his son and daughter..." Fu Heng smiled slightly, coughed lightly, and said, "I won't say these things, and I won't say anything if the emperor and the Military Aircraft Department hinder my face, and it will be even more useless to the court... ...I will say it when I have to, the emperor's dignity is more important...I have written it all in the notebook, then..." He shook his hands weakly, pointing to the neatly folded papers on the table, "... It's all there...my legacy...ah...a dying bird sings in mourning, and a dying man..." He suddenly coughed violently twice, and his breathing became rapid, with his nostrils buzzing. , his chest heaved violently, Ji Yun hurriedly called: "Who is on duty? The on-duty imperial physician comes in!"

Qianlong stood up, staring blankly at the two imperial physicians busy with treatment, and at the two maids kneeling on the bed serving medicine, Fu Heng's pulse gradually calmed down again, but his face was sallow, as if his blood had been drained. Looking at the earthy color like dried ginger again, he could no longer speak, and kept trying to open his eyelids, looking at Qianlong with his dull pupils. Seeing that he was so attached to himself, Qianlong felt sore in his heart, and covered him Quilted, gently stroked his forehead, and said in a gentle voice: "Relax with peace of mind, be punctual and not disobey orders... I am gone, I will come to see you when you are better, what do you need to let the sons find the Ministry of Internal Affairs, already With a will..." As if he was afraid of seeing Fu Heng's gaze again, he said: "Ji Yun stays to take care of..." Then he turned and left the flower hall, and went straight to the study.Agui, Li Shiyao, Hongzhou and the others only stared at Fu Heng silently for a moment, and then followed.The Huating study room was originally a row of upper rooms. Tang'er had already known what was going on here, and knelt at the door of the study room to greet him. Seeing Qianlong approaching, she kowtowed and said:

"The poor husband's dog and horse's disease, the labor saint's jade toe came in person, and the slave tick and his family were honored and favored. I am so sorry for the kindness of the Lord's pity and mercy, and I am grateful for the sound of long live comfort. Although the body is broken and the bones are not enough Yes. Tang'er is a woman, but she should be diligent and patient, and she will never replace her day and night. If the heavens show pity on my humble husband's loyalty and devotion for a few years, she will spend the rest of her life running around and then dying. The emperor is tens of thousands It is not appropriate to use the body of ten thousand chariots to imprison the servants for a long time. Please return to Luan. Tang'er burns incense and corpses in the evening to pray for the emperor's dragon body to live forever..."

This statement was Tang Er's meticulous compose, the original clichés were fancy and perfunctory, but she had the truth, she said it sadly and couldn't help himself, Qianlong was terrified when he heard it.After being stunned for a while, Qianlong gave up his hand and said, "Tang'er, we have endless relatives, let's go into the room and talk." "yes……" The emperor didn't speak, and the followers seemed a bit at a loss. Li Shiyao tentatively moved half a step, and Hongzhou tugged at his lapel. Seeing that Agui and Fulong'an Fukang'an didn't move, he raised his head and licked his lips and retreated. Following Hong Zhou and the others, they stood still and waited by the bamboo bushes far away.

Only Qianlong and Tang'er were left in the room.Among the crowd, only Hong Zhou knew that the two of them had a charming relationship more than 20 years ago.But now one is more than happy, and the other will know the destiny. Although they are in the same city, they belong to the monarch and ministers, and men and women are different. It has been more than ten years since they met each other and talked alone. Qianlong, who was sitting in front of the desk, looked at Tang'er Busy serving myself snacks, pouring tea, twisting hot towels, I suddenly felt a little bit like a dream in another world, the world, the world, the love, the scene, like the stream of light turning back, and the stone fire no longer, I sat silently in a daze, not knowing where to start the topic, I don't know how long it took before he came to his senses, sipped his tea slowly and said, "Don't be too busy waiting, I used to come earlier, and I have to have lunch with my servants when I go back."

"Yes..." Tang'er agreed and stood aside. "Is there any difficulty at home?" Qianlong asked. "Everything is fine at home. It's just that Kang'er was promoted too fast, and we outsiders gossip. There are also Fu Ling'an, Fu Long'an, Fu Chang'an... I'm afraid it won't be fair..." "It's all right." Qianlong put the teacup on the table, "Rewarding meritorious deeds, so that I can be appointed! I ask myself that I am not biased, and I am afraid of gossip, and there is nothing wrong with it. Liu Yong's contribution is not as great as Kang Er's." , Governance of civil affairs is better than Kang Er, and he has already been awarded the title of minister and minister. In comparison, Kang Er is still wronged!" After a pause, he asked again: "Do you still go to the palace often?"

Tang'er lowered her head, and said: "Every now and then, I often go in. I go in to greet Lafayette, wipe the cards, and accompany me to offer incense. Sometimes occasionally... I can see it from a distance. A glance from the emperor..." "You should go in and walk around often. If you don't come to the door for three years, you don't even kiss..." Qianlong sighed, and said: "The first lady is dead, and now Nala is the queen. Although she knows—but I know very well. Yes, she doesn't hate you in her heart, and she always speaks well of you... Speaking of it, according to the people of Xiaojiazi, she is your next sister. She is also bored, and she often greets you when she enters the palace, and talks about homework and so on. As it should be." "Yes. I have written down all the servants and maids that the emperor said..." At this point, the two were at a loss for words.In the quiet silence, Qianlong stood up and saw a painting on the table. It was an ink painting of lotus in a pond under the moon. Due to the age, the color of the paper had turned yellow. On it was written a couplet: Xia is the soul of clouds, and bees are the spirit of flowers. With extremely energetic facial expressions, he asked: "Gao Shiqi's calligraphy and painting?" "Ok." "Sent by Hong Zhou?" "Ok." "This is a couplet inscribed by Mr. Wu Ciyou to Aunt Su Ma during the time of the Grandfather." "En." Tang'er's face became paler, and she said in a low voice: "This servant knows - this is not what this servant asked for, but Fu Heng begged the fifth master for a reward..." Qianlong was a little surprised, but he understood soon after.He had heard of Fu Heng's love affair with his niece Juanjuan when he exterminated Heicha Mountain and gathered people to rebel against him. This complex has not yet been eroded.People, love, really incredible!He stood in front of the painting and pondered it carefully for a while, as if he suddenly touched something, Qianlong's pupils flickered, and asked: "There is a banner man named Cathay—Tongtai, the governor of Shandong, who has spent a lot of time with Fu Heng on weekdays." Not many? Hmm—remember Fu Heng’s protégé?” Tang’er never thought that Qianlong would ask this question suddenly, she raised her head and looked at Qianlong in surprise, then shook her head and said, “If he is a governor, he must have contacts with Fu Heng. I've seen Fu Heng's list of protégés, but I don't remember this person. Oh——I remember that once the old sixteenth prince's mansion invited Fu Heng to watch a play. , lost his temper and said, "This is all Cathay Pacific's fault! A foreigner who is in charge of the border, runs to the clan at every turn, fights cockfights and acts in plays-climbing to get close to the prince and the military plane-I can't finish reading the memorials and narrative films here, serious business I can’t finish it, I still have to hang out with these people!’ I went after talking and persuading—why did the emperor suddenly think of this?” Qianlong didn’t answer her, but looked at the painting again, and said: “This painting Although this couplet is good, it’s just that the sun is too miserable, and it’s not a sign of good fortune. The former Mingzhu, Suo’etu, Longkodo, and Neqin have all been saved, which is not auspicious. It’s better to hand it over to Da Nei.” The frame is rolled up. Tang'er glanced at Qianlong sensitively. Pearl Suo'etulong Codone was both the prime minister and the minister of military affairs. He either confiscated his home and imprisoned him or decapitated him. But what does this have to do with Hua'er, and what does it have to do with Cathay Pacific?She couldn't figure out the reason, so she said: "Then please accept it from the emperor, the emperor's blessing is as great as the sky, and all the bad luck will be washed away..." Qianlong held the painting in his hand, sighed and said: "I Seeing Fu Heng's illness, I can only do my best. In case there is something unbearable, you have to take care of yourself. My sons are all grown up, and they are very competitive. I will naturally take care of them even more by teaching them how to be a government official. If you have any difficulties, just ask your son to act on your behalf. I'm gone... You have to take care of yourself, and take care of yourself when you take care of the sick. You might as well evacuate for a while, and go to Tanzhe Temple to release animals, burn incense and so on. Constantly eliminate disasters, and secondly, you also adjusted your breath to take care of your body..." He gave a few more words of advice, then turned around and left the house, Tang'er took two steps away, and suddenly blurted out: "emperor!" "Huh?" Qianlong stopped and turned around, and asked with concern: "What's the matter?" "Oh, I was reckless, and I screamed in a hurry," Tang'er looked a little coy, she leaned her toes to the ground and twisted her body lightly, and said softly: "...It's Kang'er's marriage, old Prince Jane's Labu family. Prince Rui's Duo Luo family previously said that they were all the top nobles under their banner, Princess Ge Ge, and the little friends didn't like any of them. The emperor knows his temperament, and I can't hold him back..." Qianlong had already turned around and asked, "Where is Fu Heng? What did Fu Heng say?" Tang'er said: "He has nothing to do. He said that his son's marriage has his own destiny, so why should a man worry about not having a wife? …Kanger herself is also competitive. That year, she went to Yangzhou to rescue a girl named Yinger. The two got along well. I think this girl is very clever and well-behaved, but she is a sinner’s family after all. However, it was not suitable for Kang'er, so she put Ying'er in my room and separated her. Who knows that this kind of thing is actually separated from each other—" Tang'er smiled sheepishly, and sighed, "I There is no other way, so I just blasphemed Ying'er and pointed out that Kang'er was a concubine. It's not a big deal - Prince Cheng of the previous day, Wang Jiahongchang - was the one who attacked the new county king, and he, Fujin, said that he wanted to go in Please Lafayette and Nala Niangniang, match the emperor's fifteen Gege and Princess Ying—" Before she finished speaking, Qianlong became anxious and asked, "What did you say?" "I said that the master is currently ill and is on his way back to Beijing. Such a big matter should be decided by him." Tang'er said.Just as Qianlong breathed a sigh of relief, Tang'er said again: "Prince Cheng, Fujin has a hot temper, and he is the most concise and clear. As soon as he heard what I said, he said, 'Have you never seen the fifteenth princess? The appearance is like a fish falling into a wild goose!' She smiled and disappeared,'——your family is rich and prosperous, and a pair of beautiful people match each other perfectly. Son-in-law, don’t tell me about the dead master, Fukang’an is your horse and the emperor’s favorite, let me talk about it, and everyone will be happy——just because Fu Zhongtang is sick, this happy event came down from the sky , all disaster stars have rushed!'” At this point, Qianlong was also stunned, and Tang'er went on to say: "This is really confusing me, so I have to pretend to be happy and say, 'I haven't seen the master now, I don't know about the illness, and besides, he said that he has a golden branch and a jade leaf. Lafayette may not be willing to go up if she doesn't say anything. When Fu Heng comes back, I will ask you to go in and say: This is why I reluctantly sent her away. Before leaving, I said, "The emperor and Fu Xiang are uncles, the closest. It is also the most useful thing for the emperor. Fuzhou has no reason not to agree. They are a good couple, but they are so happy that they also take it along with them. Officials are uncles, in the boat of the river, slender is a girl, and the group is good. Please!' After saying that, he went away." Qianlong was stupefied at first, but when Fujin chanted his words, he couldn't help laughing out loud.After thinking about it for a while, Chengjun Wang Fujin is a good woman, and his mother also likes to solicit such things. It really makes sense, but I can't refute it... While thinking, I already have an idea, and said with a smile "You ask that Yinger to come over, and I will meet you. Immediately point out Kang'er as his wife, and the day's event will disappear." Tang'er was stunned, and suddenly realized, with a smile on her face, she turned and walked out of the study. The girl at the door said a few words, and the girl flew into the inner courtyard to pass the decree.The few ministers waiting by the bamboo grove did not know what had happened. When they looked at each other and exchanged glances, they saw a young woman of twenty-five or six years old between two maids, and entered the side door at the northeast corner, and entered directly through the corridor. the study.Fu Long'an whispered to Fu Kang'an: "It's Ying'er—what is she here for?" Fu Kang'an shook his head and said, "I don't know." As he was talking, he saw Tang'er beckoning at the door, "Kang'er come in."Fukangan strode into the room with a promise, and saw Yinger kneeling on the east side of the desk, so he knelt next to her. Qianlong was still looking at Ying'er carefully, and saw that she was wearing a honey-colored pleated skirt, a beige coat with a small wind wool waistcoat, a jujube jacket with lily flowers embroidered with gold thread, and a line of snow-white lining. His hands were hanging in front of his knees, his temples were cut with a knife, his thick crow hair was tied up in a bun and hung behind his head, his oval face was flushed with shame, his crescent moon eyebrows were greasy, his nose was straight, and there were only a few dimples on his cheeks. freckle.There are almost no valuable jewelry on the whole body, only the tassel purse on the moon white sweat scarf around the waist is half exposed, and there is a white marble amulet hanging on it. Qianlong saw at a glance that it was given to Fu Kang'an by himself.An imperceptible smile flashed across his face, he glanced at Tang'er, saw Tang'er nodded, and asked: "How old is this year?" "Long Live Lord..." Ying'er's voice trembled a little, "I am twenty-four years old this year." "Your name is Yinger?" "……yes." "How long have you been with Fukang'an?" "Eight years..." "Yes." Qianlong paused for a moment, then asked again, "I heard that he can play the piano and calligraphy?" "The servants learned from the young master. They are only proficient in calligraphy and painting, and they can't play the piano well." "Reading?" "I can only read a few words. My wife said that women should not know too much, pointing to books such as "Twenty-Four Filial Piety" and "Four Books for Women." Qianlong sat back in his chair and said: "Mrs. Fu Heng said that a woman is virtuous without talent. If she has talent and beauty, she should use it in a dignified place. You must remember that De Rong The first word is the word 'virtue'." Ying'er kowtowed and said, "Your servant has written it down." Qianlong turned to Fukang'an again and said, "Your father's condition is not good. I just met your mother. Congratulations to him, although Ying'er came from a humble background, she has always taken good care of you, and I think you are also a noble man, so I point to you. What do you think?" Fu Kang'an didn't expect this topic, and was stunned. After a while, he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Long live Lord Longmu appraised and approved it. Naturally, it is perfect. The slave is a worthless person. It is a blunt talent. The master cares so much. It is really a blessing for Fukang'an's family. Father knows, and he must be very happy ..." "That's it." Qianlong said with a smile, "Fu Kang'an has seen me today. Tomorrow, Mrs. Fu will take Ying'er into the palace to greet Lafayette and Empress, and kowtow to thank you." He took out his pocket watch and got up. out of the study.A large group of courtiers and eunuchs who were guarding outside fell to their knees like grass suddenly blown by the wind. Qianlong nodded with a smile and said loudly: "There is a happy event in Fu Heng's family. I have pointed to Fu Kang'an's side wife Ying Ying My son is his perfect match. Since I intend to marry him, the Ritual Department of the Military Aircraft Department will naturally come to congratulate him. Fu Heng is sick now, and tell them not to make noise, and keep everything simple, and we will talk about it when we get married." While walking slowly down the steps, he said gracefully "Fifth brother is not in good health, so there is no need to drive back to the palace. Zhaohui Hailancha and the others will guard here, taking care of Ji Yun. There are some military affairs that Fu Heng can explain to them at any time when he is awake," No one in the crowd expected that Qianlong was discussing this matter with Tang'er in the study. Qianlong had already stepped down the steps while looking at each other, and they all kowtowed.Fukang'an said: "Second brother, if you're tired, just go back to your room and rest. I'll go to see Zhaohui Hailancha and then I'll go to the West Flower Hall—I see your face is a little bruised, and you don't seem to have slept well. "Fu Long'an said lightly: "We are brothers, why should we bother each other?" As he spoke, he wandered towards the West Flower Hall. In the East Study Room, Zhaohui and Hailancha were still chatting heart-to-heart, and Heshen's skill of "helping the side" could not get in the serious conversation, so he just poured water and tea and polished it, holding a roll to pretend , when you meet someone who can gossip with Liuer, you can chat a few words, the two generals have different temperaments, but they have sent troops together for decades, and they have been friends who have come out of the cannon fodder pits in the bushes with swords and swords. He Shen, just talking to himself.He Shen was listening, and only then did he know that Hai Lancha was not in the Taihu Navy. "Fish, shrimp and rice are eaten three times a day," and he came back from fighting in Burma with Fu Heng. About ten days early.Fortunately, he had been fighting in Laoguantun for seven days and nights, and he just crawled out of the dead. He was as innocent and humorous as a urchin, and He Shen couldn't help but secretly admire him. "The Burmese soldiers can't help but fight. Compared with the Mongols, the Hui people are no match for five-on-one." Hai Lancha had a naive face, grinning, chewing betel nuts with his mouth full.Holding an inner-painted snuff bottle in his hand, he closed one eye and looked at it like a diorama, talking to Zhaohui at the same time. "—They believe in Buddhism, but they are actually a group of monks and soldiers. When they see blood, their faces turn white and pray together. But it rains every day in that ghostly place, and there is water everywhere. When you drill into the old woods, you will blink like a ghost in the sun. It’s gone. On the third day of November last year, it rained heavily, and I couldn’t see anyone or anything more than 20 paces away! Ten thousand Burmese soldiers attacked Marshal Fu’s central army. The commander told me that I would attack from the right and Ali Gun would attack from the left. I led 1,500 people, rushed out naked, intercepted his front team head-on, killed more than 500 people, and the bloody corpses rushed down. Hearing screams from below, his mother retreated. .Actually, as long as he brings up his soldiers on the left wing, my village can be flattened in half an hour! Well, this and that - Lao Hai has nothing to play with!" He picked up snuff and wiped it on his lips, " Ah chirp!" After a sneeze, He Shen smiled and handed over the towel. Zhaohui was a serious person, so he listened calmly and said, "What I lack is water, and food and vegetables cannot be brought in. Everyone from me to the chief soldier is just a gourd of water every day. Some fighters, see to go down I can make dumplings for them, and watch them flee for nothing, not daring to chase them, because there is no water. It’s dark, and the brothers are blind again—how many times have they been like this. I hate it so much that my teeth itch , but there is no other way.” Hai Lancha sighed: “Damn it! I calculated that half of the military salary allocated by the court can go to the mouth of the soldiers, and half of the staff can be reduced. The miasma and anti-virus sent The medicines are all the old scum from the bottom of the warehouse in the medicine shop, black and musty - the soldiers all scolded, "The old wine is left for the pigs to drink, and the old moldy medicine is eaten by the warmen. Damn, there are so many unscrupulous cooks in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of War!" He Shen also sighed, and said: "I did an account for Zhaojunmen, and the money allocated by the Ministry of War to the Ministry of War will be deducted first. Two cents, keep two cents at the Ministry of War, send it to Xi'an for one cent and two cents, and then another cent for four cents in Lanzhou. Before reaching the army, every two cents will cost three cents. God knows how long the soldiers will last! The thieves who paid Zhaojunmen built houses, built houses, repaired gardens and dug ponds one by one in Beijing—fat, like rats soaked in oil, they were all drunk Soldier blood?" Zhaohui nodded after hearing this, and said, "What He Shen said is true." "You are a character who walks along the ditch." Hai Lancha smiled and said to He Shen, "I can climb any road to the gods. This is what Zhaohui and I love to hear the most! It's not just those dirty killers who run military supplies It's over, now the officials of the Ministry of punishment, those who work on the river, those who provide disaster relief, those who are above the tariff, and the official department, let alone, Bing Jing, Tan Jing, the soup cake party for the concubine's birthday son, the dead old man, and the sick wife Yes, as long as there is a gap, you can make money. If you manage Chongwenmen, you will probably not be poor!" He intended to be tired of He Shen, buzzing around the room like a fly lingering.Fuck it, let him go and talk to Zhaohui quietly.But He Shen is the one who has no temper and is the most irritated character. He smiled and listened to the smile, and said: "I also like to hear the words of the Navy Gate. This kind of thing! The first class is an official who became an official after studying "learning and being excellent". After ten years of hard work, the hard work of his own hard work is the capital; It is also a capital; and there are people like me who have ancestral shadows and use it as capital, but they are still capital when they fawn on errands. The officialdom is no different from the market, they are all seeking profit, like Shi Yizhi, Sun Jiagan, Liu Tongxun, honest and upright have worked hard all their lives, that is to seek fame. Like the two great military sects, their corpses are scattered all over the field, and they themselves are also blood gourds. It is a name and benefit to be promoted and rich, and it is also capital. I earned it." After speaking, he licked his tongue. This is another theory, and even Zhaohui smiled, and said: "The old birds in the world are black, and there are no good people in Hongdong County. According to you, Fu Heng Gaoheng (the younger brother of the imperial concubine, was killed by Qianlong for corruption.) It doesn’t matter, Qin Hui is also Wen Tianxiang!” He Shen laughed and said, “Didn’t the general read it? There are some people who can’t use it. The soldiers of Chu State used this medicine, and they won’t get frostbite when they fight in the north. The king rewarded him with five rides; the king of Chu got hemorrhoids, and his asshole didn’t work, and another doctor used his tongue to lick his master’s hemorrhoids to make him feel comfortable, and rewarded him with a hundred rides! ——What a difference! Now the country is prosperous The people are rich and wise, just like there are plenty of fish in the river. The ready-made ones are cheap, and everyone comes to catch them. Big profits come first, and they are easy and affordable. Who can remember what Confucius said, "wealth is like floating clouds to me"? Less and less, that's because it's too hard. Being an upright official suffers from poor families, and their children and grandchildren can't even eat enough. The ready-made silver is white and bright. male?" "Listen, listen, he's all a set of tricks!" Hai Lancha laughed, "It's fish soup with cats and mice, and leeks fried with dick hair—what is it, what does it taste like? But He Shen changed his face and said: "I have my own scriptures. Righteousness is what I want; benefit is also what I want. You can't have both benefit and righteousness. I would rather give up benefit and get righteousness. The experience of studying "Mencius". I fought with the old army of Agui, and the two asked me if I was a loose-packed soft egg! To serve a sage master like Lord Qianlong, you must have good character and insight, in a word , You have to be a sensible person. You can't understand the world situation, and you are ignorant. Yongmao's pawn shop is my property. Pointing to my little salary, can a family of dozens of people drink northwest wind?——or become a corrupt official! There is no other way." Seeing Fukang'an coming in, he stopped, got up and stood aside, Hailancha and Zhaohui also got up. Fukang'an passed on Qianlong's oral order, and after Zhao Hai and his wife received the decree, they sat down at the table, took a deep breath, and said, "The old man just saw the driver, and he is really tired. It would be nice to have my second brother over there. A group of people here are rushing over, and it’s not good to talk in courteous manners, let’s rest here, and it’s not too late to wait for the wives to return to the inner courtyard.” He Shen seemed a little worried about this young relative, and lowered his eyebrows while holding tea Shunyan stepped aside and said, "Fourth Master, there are still some trivial matters to be taken care of after closing the door. My family is waiting for me - the medicine I bought for Fu Zhongtang will arrive soon, I will go first, and I will come back to give Zhongtang Greetings." As he spoke, he stole a glance at Fu Kang'an, seeing him nodding his head and saying nothing, so he carefully resigned.The gate of Congyue Cave was outside, and Qianlong hadn't left the Yimen Gate yet, a large group of eunuchs, Damo and Nanny, were walking out.He Shen didn't dare to go there to disturb him, so he went straight to Dongxiafang's stable and led his horse, and came out from Dongjiao Gate without saying a word, beat his horse and took a shortcut to enter the palace from Donghua Gate, wandered across the main street to the entrance of Yongxiang, Seeing that the eunuchs had just had lunch, they were going back to the palace in twos and threes, chatting with Qu Zi and a few eunuchs before going in.The guards at the gate saw him enter the palace twice every three days, knowing that he was going to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to pay the money, and that he was also a guard, so he let him go without asking.After entering the Hanging Flower Gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the draft "huh" blew against his face, causing his neck to shrink from the cold, and He Shen realized that it was snowing again.After a little composure, he rubbed his face and went into the courtyard, and went straight to the room of the eunuch in charge.Wang Lian, the eunuch in charge of accounts, was cashing the account. When he saw him come in, he pushed away the abacus and got off the chair. He piled up flowers all over his face with a smile, and said, "My Living God of Wealth is here, and he is waiting for you! Congratulations, please sit down." , and you, my lord!" "What are you waiting for me to do?" He Shen just entered the warm account room, he was dazed by his first sentence, and asked, "What's the happy event? Don't talk to me!" "Really, really..." Wang Lian pushed and asked He Shen to sit down, "My lord...you listen to me. I'm waiting for you. It's Wang Yi from the garden. My husband added two taels of silver every month. It was added in the garden. We are here to be serious, and everyone is preparing for the New Year. Twenty-four taels of silver is added to the charcoal pile, right? Say congratulations—” He suddenly Lowering his voice, the hand-rolled horn moved into He Shen's ear.Although He Shen couldn't bear the smell in his mouth, he frowned and smiled as he listened to him and said, "Ah Gui's army plane came in yesterday, and Long Live Lord said, "The prince of Twenty-four Chengjun said that He Shen is capable of doing things. Things should be done well, I want to ask for an order to transfer you to Guanglu Temple as a deputy minister. Agui Dajunji said that you have been with him before, and it is inconvenient for him to take this note, so I want to ask Ji Dajunji to issue a ticket. Later, the master Said there is no need to make such a turn, first send you on a business trip, or go to the military parade, or choose the deputy Xuezheng to preside over Chunwei, and then see if there are any cases, and then write a promissory note. My lord, this is not your official campaign. Is it? Eldest brother, Prince Zhuang, Mrs. Shibeile, sometimes they are not lucky, and everyone in and out of the palace applauds you, your prospects for promotion are really—— slim!" Hearing him say "Yuanda" as "little", He Shen was concentrating on his mind, coughed and choked up his nose and tears, and said: "If you have them, you also have your part. You have a separate share of the regulations. One or two less than Wang Baxie, I asked Liu Quan to add it, just don't make a fuss—Where is the emperor? Is he still reviewing papers at this moment?" "I don't know how you feel? The emperor has gone to Liu Ye's mansion. "Wang Lian thanked with a smile and said, "—Just sit in my room, and when you come back later, you must pass by the bright window, and you go out to say hello. How natural!" He also sat down with a cup of tea , Blowing on the froth, he said again: "Shandong Guotai Futai sent a letter to Lao Zhao. One of his nephews was in charge of the arsenal and wanted to transfer a vacancy to the tariff. Hit your wooden clock, if it works, tell him to come and see you; if it doesn’t work, I’ll go back to him.” Then he looked at He Shen, who smiled and said: “Arsenal and arsenal are free and rich”, which is not enough what? ——Since he is a relative of Mr. Guo, tell him to meet me at my place. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't bother to talk to him. When Wang Lian was so happy that he wanted to thank him, he heard a shout from a distance: "The sage is coming back!" " Busily got up and picked up the curtain to take a picture outside, then turned to Heshen and said: "The master didn't bring a gun to drive - Heye hurried out! " He Shen stepped out of the accounting room in three steps and two steps, only to realize that the snow had already fallen heavily.It was still snow particles, like salt and pepper like fine powder, first scattered scattered, and gradually, like a huge fine basket on the sieve surface in the crimson sky, swaying and falling rapidly with the wind.At this moment, the courtyard of the Hall of Mental Cultivation has been paved with a thin layer, and the yellow glazed tiles on the hall, the screen wall of the entrance door, the bronze cranes, bronze unicorns, and phoenixes in the courtyard are also covered with crystal clear snow.The cigarettes curled up from the mouths of the big copper tripod and Bixi refused to disperse one by one. They were swayed and swam by the wind, and snow velvet began to fall from the sky. Slowly falling in the fine snow.In the vast and clear, the main hall door and the large glass bright windows are dark and dark, adding to the unpredictable and mysterious atmosphere of this century-old hall.He Shen has read a lot of books in the past few years to deal with the situation, such as the Six Classics, poems, books, and even history, no matter what it is, as long as it is useful, he can eat it. Looking at this scene, he is also inexplicably fascinated. , I heard a male duck from the south yelling: "Hey - don't - don't go down! The snow in this yard is not allowed to be stepped on! The snow is flat and bright, you can make a few boot marks and show the master." Are you disappointed?" He Shen turned his face and saw that it was Wang Baxie who was speaking, and Emperor Qianlong's sable hat and snow fur were standing at the entrance of the porch—it turned out that he had entered the palace without going through the courtyard.Regardless of the cold tide, He Shen knelt down as soon as he raised the corner of his robe: "The slave He Shen pays respects to the master!" "It's Heshen!" Qianlong looked at the snow with wandering eyes, and asked casually, "Did you come in to pay the bill? What are you doing standing here?" He gently raised his hand to signal him to get up. "The servant is looking at the snow." He Shen stood up cautiously, and said with a solemn expression, "At first the servant wanted to write poetry, but he couldn't control the size of the scenery. There is a class of poor people who don’t burn charcoal, can’t open the pot, are cold and hungry, and some houses have been soaked in the autumn rain, and the adobe walls have been in disrepair for a long time, and the heavy snow will collapse again. What should I do? I want to ask Squeeze a little money from the customs duty, but I am afraid that the Shuntian Mansion Yamen will not use it if they hear it, it seems like a slave is overstepping on his behalf... I was only in a trance, and didn't see the master..." Qianlong couldn't help laughing when he heard that there was still a measure of size when composing poems.After hearing this, I couldn't help but look at this young official seriously.和珅是常进来走动的，乾隆公事累了出院中散步常常见他，偶尔也叫过来询问一下关税钱粮上的事，说提拔他，也不过内务府、宗人府几家近支宗室王亲都举荐夸奖他，以为不过是小意儿巴结，各处人缘功夫做得地道，现在看，此人不但勤学勤劳，还有一份关心民疾的志量，从小局顾大局，又兼虑着衙门与衙门的瓜葛干连——这就不是平常循吏志量所能局限了，想着，乾隆便款步向殿内走去，边走边道： “传旨，午膳后阿桂纪昀李侍尧递牌子，和珅进来，朕接见你。”
