Chapter 25 The twenty-fifth return interview

The inner court issued a decree that Emperor Qianlong set off from Beijing on July 26 and arrived in Nanjing on the eighth day of August.Mingzhao used ordinary post stations to transmit.It was not sent to Liangjiang Governor's Yamen on the third day of August.Yin Jishan "concurrently manages" Liangjiang yamen affairs, and Jin Chi is the governor who stayed on and handed over.When the imperial edict arrived, the two were meeting with the Yamen affiliated to the capital stationed in Ningxia, the officials of the Sansitang in Jiangnan and Zhejiang provinces, as well as the generals of guerrilla military rank and above, and arranged for the palace defense in Su, Hangzhou, Ning, Yang, Haining, Huzhou and other places.Seeing the bright yellow label affixed to the encased letter, the two stood up hurriedly.Yin Jishan said: "The discussion is almost done. The deployment and deployment will be coordinated by Hangzhou General Suihe. Except for those who were originally arranged to listen to the deployment of the Yanqing Zhongtang, they must obey the order. The transfer and defense must be at night, and the smaller the noise, the better. Government offices in the city In the urban area, all plainclothes are required, and the purpose is to keep the pine and the dark tight. Except for the three pine and cypress Wannian Shou Caifang at the Wangjiangting Ferry, the government does not set up anything else. The folks voluntarily set up colorful sheds to welcome the driver. The matter of welcoming the driver must be Solemn and dignified, the second is not to disturb the people. That’s it—is there any supplementary proposals for Jinzhitai?"

"Let me say two things." Jin Yu has already got the vote to be the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and he is very happy. He put his hands on the case and said with a straight face, "There is no actual governor in the Governor's Yamen of Liangjiang, but the two military ministers, Yin Yuanchang and Liu Yanqing, are here. Sitting in the town, I have to be responsible before I leave. Who dares to neglect his duties and disobey the constitution—" He glanced at the crowd, "I have the flag of the king's order, and I must follow the military law. The second is to help the poor. Ling Shou personally came to the door and told the landlords and owners that they are not allowed to seize their tenants and quit their jobs. Mooncakes for longevity and longevity must be made intensified, and all poor beggars must be distributed on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Old people over fifty years old each have two bottles of old wine and two catties of meat. Make preparations as soon as possible, and set up at least two porridge sheds in each county to help the poor—we have to send people to check the facts county by county—understand?!”

All the officials present in the meeting hall stood up together, and hundreds of people roared in unison and answered "Zha!" Yin Jishan and Jin Ji didn't leave their seats, and read the imperial edict on the spot.Yin Jishan smiled and said: "The emperor finally got his wish. I have been talking about coming for several years, but I only heard the sound of the stairs, but no one came down. Let's go and meet Yanqing!" Jin Hao also smiled and said: "I will go back to Guangzhou after finishing this matter, you Going to Xi'an and then back to Nanjing, the two of us are brothers and sisters switching positions back and forth!" As they spoke, the two went out hand in hand, but they saw Yuan Mei and two yamen servants carrying a box and waiting at the door of the conference hall.Yin Jishan smiled and said, "Is the thing I want delivered? Is it cloud and soil?"

"It was shipped from India." Yuan Mei said with a smile, "I heard it's several times better than cloud and soil, and it's a hundred catties in total—I still have two boxes sealed in my treasury. If it's not enough, I'll send it with a note from your lord." Jin Chi couldn't understand what the two of them were talking about, so he opened the box and saw that there were black and red bricks of the same color.Touch it, it is soft and smooth, pick up a piece and look at it, and ask: "What is this?" "Poison!" Yin Jishan's smile was fleeting, and his tone made the object slip out of Jin Ji's hand.Yin Jishan said: "It's called Opium, and it's commonly known as A Furong Ointment. If you become addicted to it, you will be rich in thousands of hectares of fertile land, and you will be penniless. Before you go to Guangzhou, we will talk about it in detail, and we must strictly ban it." Jin He smiled and said, "I've heard of it but I haven't seen it—it's a poison, what do you want it for? You also smoked it?" "I will never smoke this thing." Yin Jishan said: "Gao Heng gave it to the Supreme Hospital. Use it, this thing is also a good medicine!"

Yuan Mei handed over the envoy and bowed to resign, but Yin Jishan stopped him and asked, "I asked you to visit the complete version engraved in the Cultural Revolution Cuifang. Have you gone?" Yuan Mei said, "The complete version was sent by Liu Xiaolin. The money has already been paid, and the edition has already been engraved. Because of Liu Xiaolin’s illness, the Bureau of Books and Acquisitions said that the inner court wanted this book. The boss was afraid, so he wished that the money would come out to worship and greet him, and burned the edition. I went to have a look, and the received manuscripts are piled up in several rooms, and I really can't find out..."

"Burn it..." Yin Jishan breathed a sigh of relief silently, "Let's visit again slowly——Zicai, the emperor must have passed the Mid-Autumn Festival in Nanjing. , I also want to dance cranes to promote peace, don't give birth to right and wrong-you go, everything is ready, I invite you to come and talk about Go loosely." Before Yuan Mei left, Geshha came to the door and said, "Dou Guangnai, the editor of the Imperial Academy, asked to see me." Yin Jishan didn't like Dou Guangnai, and laughed at Jin Hao: "The hard scholar and the iron head demon came up, and it was the twenty-fourth prince who persuaded him to drink. Don’t drink, just throw away the wine glass and leave that pedant—please ask him to go back first, and I’ll see him in the signing room in the afternoon.” Saying that, he walked away, meandering with Jin Yu to the North Study Room of Xihua Hall to meet Liu Tongxun.

"You guys came just in time. I just received a letter from Mr. Fu Liu, and I'm about to invite you over for a discussion!" Liu Tongxun's face was scorched, sweat dripped from his head, he lost his usual calm and calm demeanor, and walked back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back. The man immediately said: "Look at how this is done! ——Such an important document was delayed for four days at the Qinghe station!" As he said, he threw a sealed letter that had just been peeled off. on the case. Yin Jishan and Liu Tongxun had known each other for a long time, and seeing him so angry that he was almost out of breath, he took out the letter in surprise, read it several times in a hurry, his face was ashen, his eyes were straight, and he murmured: "Fu Heng will be so reckless in doing things? Dry road In the thirteenth day, we entered the south of the Yangtze River no matter what, and we, the big officials of the frontier, are still kept in the dark!" Jin Hao took the letter and read it hastily, but the letter was not long:

The old Zhongtang in Yanqing is like a meeting: immediately received the urgent call from the master, the younger brother, Ji Yun, Hailancha, Zhaohui and the second concubine Yihui, the official, set off in the driver's seat, and headed south in disguise.The master of the itinerary has not been informed, and he will probably go to Shandong first and then arrive in Ning by dry road.Agui stayed in Beijing to preside over the military aircraft.The master did not allow to inform first, and the younger brother hurriedly wrote in the eunuch's room while the master was changing clothes, and please tell Jishan Jinji as soon as possible to prepare for the ride.Don't rush the secret, Fu Heng July 24th.

The writing was very sloppy, and the subsequent strokes were rough, and it seemed that Fu Heng didn't even have time to dip the ink.Jin Gong also felt his head swell with a bang.He said in his mouth: "Here, this, this white dragon fish suit, there are two women among the six people, and Ji Yun is a frail scholar, how can he protect him? How can he protect him if he makes a mistake on the dry road of more than two thousand miles? This is not fatal. Is it?" "Don't panic." Yin Jishan has calmed down.Sitting up straight, looking at the sun outside the window, he said: "This is a habit that the emperor can't get rid of - it has always been like this when I was an elder brother. Now Zhili, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangnan provinces, there are no large groups of gangsters It's a peaceful journey. The master is born wise and wise, not reckless. He has to understand the customs of the officials and the people. Naturally, this is the best way. Agui is an extremely smart person. Without an escort, he would never dare to let the master go out of Beijing. The letter was sent out on the 20th, but the word "日" was written too sloppily, maybe it was sent on the 24th, so it's hard to tell the truth. Let's say it was sent out on the 20th, if you walk calmly, you won't be able to reach Nanjing yet. If there was any mistake, I guess we would have gotten the letter long ago, because Ah Gui was in a hurry than us, and he couldn't make any mistakes. He didn't have a letter from the imperial court, so he must have been in touch with the emperor day and night. If there is no urgent document coming from Beijing for more than ten days, the station horses must have been used to communicate with the emperor. The Qinghe station missed the letter, and this may be the reason—it doesn’t matter, the emperor is safe!"

This analysis made sense and made sense, and the three of them felt a little relieved.But after all, he lost contact with Qianlong, and his heart was empty and unreliable.Jin Yu was just in a trance while drinking tea. Liu Tongxun sat down slumped, patted his hot forehead, and sighed: "I've thought about what you said too. The ones I'm most angry with are Agui and Fu Heng. This is singing Is it a serial joke book? I want to be in Beijing, kneeling to death outside the Qianqing Gate and not getting up, to see if he walks around? Master, master, you are trying to kill me... Where are you calling me, Liu Tongxun? I'm looking for you... ho ho..." As he spoke, he burst into tears.Yin Jishan and Jin Hao saw that he was so in love with his master, and thought that he was exhausted to death in Nanjing, solving the case and arranging safe pick-ups, and doing errands with all his energy and painstaking care.

"Master Yanqing, don't be like this, we feel sad when we see it." Jin Ji looked sad, and comforted him from the side, "Calm down, Ah Gui Zhongtang must have a letter for us." Liu Tongxun said with tears: "I'm not afraid. If I don't hear from my master for a day, don't try to make me peaceful. You two inform Liu Yong to come back at midnight tonight, and I will re-arrange his errands. I will write to Blind Liu immediately." He sent a letter telling him to pay attention to the rivers and lakes; he sent a letter to the Yamen in Anhui, Shandong, and reported all robbery cases, no matter how big or small, and all hotels and shops in Lu, Hui, and Liangjiang had to re-register with insurance. That's all I can think of now , do it quickly!" He said something, and Yin Jishan agreed.Just as he was about to resign, there was a sound of the curtain, and a middle-aged man in his forties walked in and asked, "What's the matter, do you want to 'do it quickly'?" "Master Fu!" The three frontier officials jumped up almost at the same time, their eyes widened, staring at him as if they didn't recognize him.Liu Tongxun stammered and asked, "Why...how come you are the only one? Where is the master?" The curtain didn't stop, Yanhong Yingying raised the curtain one by one, and Emperor Qianlong appeared In front of everyone, he stood facing the door facing the north, and said with a smile: "Well, the three servants are discussing to save the master like ants in a hot pot!" "God!" Yin Jishan let out an exclamation, and fell to the ground with a "plop".Liu Tongxun slumped on the easy chair with his buttocks, and tried his best to stand up with his hands, but his hands were shaking badly. Qianlong hurriedly stepped forward to hold his hands down, and said softly: "It really surprised you. You look bad, and you are afraid of committing crimes." Heart disease... Where is the medicine bottle? Take it out..." Liu Tongxun took out a flat glass bottle from his arms with a trembling right hand.Qianlong saw that his hands were shaking violently when twisting the bottle cap, he took it with one hand, pulled it out, fed a small mouthful, and said: "Take another mouthful... you old Yanqing... oh, good, just lie down like this, I'll be here in a while!..." Liu Tongxun burst into tears, and said in a hoarse trembling voice: "Your Majesty...what should I tell the old minister to say? Sigh..." Yin Jishan and Jin Yuchang knelt beside him, also crying like beads. For a while, Liu Tongxun felt his heartbeat slowed down a bit, and even though Qianlong ordered him to "lie down still", he still struggled to get up and bow to the ground.Seeing Ji Yun coming in with a big smoke pot in his hand, he said, "I went to the porridge shed over there and looked at it. The porridge is not thin, but the spoon is a bit smaller, and it is bigger than this smoke pot. After drinking a bowl, there was no sand, and it smelled somewhat musty. The spoon was too small to squeeze people, and the person in charge of the spoon was too horizontal. I taught him to add a little. The cow stared at the side of the pot and said, "You are born What about the belly of the old sow—you can take the pot with you!’ There was a commotion, and then a yamen servant from the shed came and shouted, “Everyone line up, line up! Dick hair mixed with leeks, it’s a mess!” '——The minister also returned respectfully." There was a sentimental mood in the study, but he dismissed it with a few words.Only then did Yin Jishan take a look at Ji Yun. He was wearing a tattered, rough green cloth robe, stained with oil and dirt, and his sleeves were as dirty as a barber's knife cloth. It doesn't look good, it looks like a dilapidated household in the countryside.Seeing this description, both of them covered their mouths and smiled, even Liu Tongxun accepted the sadness. "Change your outfits - get up and sit down!" Qianlong, on the other hand, was in good spirits, wearing a Ning silk baturu vest with a maple leaf cover and a moon-white base, a gray poplin robe, a bee-red belt, and black millwork-soled round-mouth cloth shoes on his feet, with crescent moon eyebrows. The whites of the next pair of black and angry eyes are almost invisible, and the mustache is a little sparse, neatly left on both sides.It's just a little tanned, and Gu Pan's face is radiant.He sat in the middle, and the golden hoof hurriedly served tea. After Liu Tongxun recovered, he leaned over on the chair to speak.Qianlong smiled and said: "You don't have to say it, I know what you want to say. A Gui bitterly remonstrates, Fu Heng cries and Ji Yun laughs, and you are coming again to remonstrate—the king of Wancheng, you should not take it lightly. Instead, we should hang down our clothes and rule the world—I know I’m wrong, isn’t it possible? Anyway, I’ve already arrived in Nanjing. If you want to remonstrate firmly, you will be happy if I return to Beijing in a humble way.” The son saluted and said with a smile, "Master, I have refused to listen to advice several times. It was in Zhili, the capital city. This time, I have traveled a long distance and still refused to listen to us. You really know your mistakes and never correct them..." He suddenly felt like saying It was too much, and with an idea, the interface said: "—Well, this, this... is so good!" "If you know your mistakes and don't correct them, there's nothing good about it!" Qianlong couldn't help laughing, "This is the first time I've heard of it!" Holding up the tea, he couldn't stop laughing to himself, and Fu Heng and others laughed along with him.Qianlong laughed for a while, and said: "Mr. Yanqing, I still have the hearts of you guys. Is there anything I don't know? I sent a decree to tour the south, and there is a saying in it called 'decorating the world with algae'. It means to see where the house is. Take the wind, where the rain is leaking, repair it, and adjust the makeup. Let all walks of life can settle down and live in peace. This is completely different from "whitewashing the world". It is the first time I have come to Jiangnan after joining the Datong , sit on the law and drive all the way to ostentatiously, where the magistrates don’t want to whitewash the road seamlessly? When I was an elder brother, I inspected Shandong, and Jining’s mansion was so dry that it only had 40% annual income. Even the beggars were dressed in new clothes, and the pig feeders Can speak a few sentences in classical Chinese, what is "Old man Huangtong, sharing the peaceful world, farmers and wild old people don't worry about hunger and hunger"! False! For example, in your food shed, you now use a small wooden spoon to serve rice. My method is the same. Now, the big spoon must have been changed - dare you say so?" At first Yin Jishan was still sitting and listening respectfully, but when he heard that his back was like a thorn, he quickly stood up and replied: "Yes!" "I'm not talking about you," Qianlong stretched out his hands to signal them to sit down, and he said with a half-smile: "I'm talking about myself, I can't ride a dragon boat in the same way, and I just believe in the sound of mountains and rivers on both sides of the strait. How much experience do you have?" If you go to Gaoju Jiuchong once you get to the people’s disease, you will be less deceived by flattery and platitudes. Instead, you will stay in a family’s house for a few nights. Some places are good, and some places are not. I can fill my stomach, and chat with beggars. Winter is hard, and food can be begged. Sometimes people are hungry in spring, and there are not many people who starve to death. They say that the world is more chaotic than before, and I feel a little more at ease. But the Huaibei area passed through the water last year, and too many escaped. In some villages, only women and dogs were left. They were so poor that they couldn’t even wear pants. Yin Yuanchang, you wrote a letter to the Governor of Anhui as the Minister of Military Aircraft to question: Everyone provides relief. Fifty catties of grain, only 15 catties of real harvest, where did the 35 catties go? Tell him to quickly collect the refugees and return to their hometowns. Firewood, farm tools, livestock, and autumn wheat seeds are all ready. When I return to Luan, if there is still water There are no people living in the deserted fields and villages, not only will he fail to be an official, but he will also worry about his wealth and life!" Yin Jishan had already stood up when he saw the point and his name, and after listening to Qianlong's words, he hurriedly said: "I obey the order. Now about 40% of the people who flock to Jiangnan to eat are from Huaibei. Jiangxi has none this year, and Henan has less than two." Yes, there are more than 10% in Shandong, and the rest of the miscellaneous people are fluctuating and difficult to calculate. The total number is often around 100,000. Can you write this will for the governors of these provinces? Fu Heng, Agui, Liu Tongxun and It seems safer for the slaves to write a joint letter. Huaibei has passed the water, and the reeds must grow well. The reeds in the righteous warehouses and grain depots in the south of the Yangtze River should also be replaced. Both ends have to be well-organized. What does the Lord think of this way?" Fu Heng also got up and said, "The grain here is already moldy. The official grain is not as good as the righteous warehouse grain, and the righteous warehouse grain is not as good as the owner's self-stored grain. Yin Yuanchang might as well come out. A little money, to persuade the purchase of some new grain, and ask the owners to subscribe for sale. Then transfer 100 trillion yuan of official grain to the disaster-stricken departments of the provinces for adjustment. There are losses in the price difference, the amount is not large, and the Ministry of Households can give some subsidies to Jiangnan. Jiangnan stores grain for exchange Newly, the poor people in all provinces also have to be relieved. In this way, the emperor's southern tour will add another layer of benevolent government to the people." "Very good." Hearing this, Qianlong was already beaming with joy.But he is not good at accepting words by nature, and he accepts it with a smile.Said: "When I left Beijing, I called Agui Jiyun to discuss. I wanted to use the old grain from the Gubeikou and Ningxia military depots to relieve the famine and the poor, and then transfer the grain from the south of the Yangtze River. This way the court spends more money without disturbing the people. You know the general situation like this. , is in line with my original intention, and the people in the famine-stricken areas also have a livelihood-it can be seen that it is brainstorming. You can discuss it later, Ji Yun drafted it, and issued an edict to the provincial governors for handling. Military rations in northern Shaanxi and other places can still be used. According to the original purpose, to relieve the poor and famine, and to adjust new grains on the spot. What is money? The treasuries of the provinces are full, and the people live in peace. Are you afraid that the court will be poor?" Ji Yun thought to himself, when Yuan and Ah Gui discussed, they only said "relieve the famine", Qianlong had already calmly added "relieve the poor", which was inconsistent with the original purpose, so he had to inform Agui immediately to join in. Going to the decree, he hurriedly said with a smile: "This must be done quickly, because the new grain from Gan, Shan, and Ningxia will be transported from Zhili, Shanxi, and Henan. It doesn't matter, it can't be late to grow grain. I will plan it tonight, and it will take eight hundred miles tomorrow. Hurry up and send it back to Beijing, will the Lord see it as a success?" "The magistrate of the barren and famine-stricken place supervises the people's livelihood and relief. The more I think about it, the more reasonable it is." Liu Tongxun said, "Many of the beggars here come every year, and they come to their hometown regardless of disasters. They have a saying Slogan "The land is scraping gold, it is better to beg for food. Beg for food for three years, give it to a county magistrate!" Make money and carry it back. The hometown also distributed them "grain relief"! Here, in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yang, Hu, and Nantong, Wuxi, the rogues formed a "Hanako Gang", pretending to be pitiful and begging during the day, and gambling and prostitution at night Thieves, they do all kinds of lawless things. Once the case is solved and Yi Ying is captured, the first thing I want to do is to destroy this "Hanako Gang" - some gang leaders have tens of millions of money and wives and concubines. Canonical punishment!" Ji Yun laughed and said, "What Yan Qing said is true! They are 'gathering people to form gangs', and they can be convicted without having to investigate. Originally, honest people joined this ruffian gang, and many of them became gangsters. Isn't that true? Little things. Some people are so pitiful—the little beggar at the restaurant in Tangjia Town, Liuhe County, do you remember the master? Ask him where he is from, and he stretches out his hand, so——I’m from Shangqiu... Lord... pitiful ...Grandfather!—I thought you were 'grandfather', and I became a grandson!" Everyone laughed loudly.Qianlong nodded and pointed at Ji Yun with a smile: "No wonder you refused to give alms, I thought you were too tolerant at that time!" Ji Yun hurriedly bowed to accompany the smile, and said: "The master is benevolent and compassionate, and the minister only With an ordinary heart, I dare not be too tolerant, but I have to bear it." Seeing that Qianlong was happy, Fu Heng joked beside him and said with a smile: "He is an ordinary Bodhisattva in front of the Buddha, and sometimes he is not ordinary! Last time he said that he would do something. The poem is twice as good as Li Du's. I said you try to say a few words. He said, "four yellow pengs sing green willows, two rows of white mandarin ducks go up to the blue sky" and he said, "xinsong hates not being two thousand feet long, and evil bamboos have to be cut two times." Ten thousand poles!" The crowd laughed again after hearing this. At present, Jin Yu told Qianlong about the restoration of several palaces, and also said that he would go to Guangzhou.The folk customs in Huayang are tough, and it took less than half an hour to ask for orders to cast a few red cannons, build forts to defend against pirates, and deploy and adjust the defenses of the green battalions of the garrisons in various places.Qianlong also listened very attentively, and when Jin Yu finished speaking, he frowned and said: "The church has been ordered many times. The foreigners and barbarians are willing to believe in God and Jesus, so they can listen to it. The church is for foreigners who come to China to trade. It is not enough to preach in China. We have Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which is enough. The missionaries must be driven out. The Chinese believe in foreign religions. One pipe, medicinal use is indispensable. There are too many shellfish! There are several shellfish in the clan, and they are all smoked if they are less than eight cents. Bei Zi takes opium? He will be severely punished!" Because Qianlong refused to live in the palace, Jin Jia was just about to move, so he had already packed his luggage.Several people suggested to live in the private house of Jin Ji, Jin Ji was naturally wishful thinking, Qianlong said with a smile: "Whoever lives in it, the door will be disturbed and the door will be closed. Living in the governor's yamen, Liu Tongxun's body is struggling, Running errands and waiting, you all have official business. I live in Pilu Courtyard, and they will follow. The errands here follow your usual system. Don’t go over to say hello. If you have anything to do, just tell Ji Yun and them. ——Yin Yuanchang Jin Hey, I haven't had breakfast yet! They must be starving too. Shall I show my landlord's kindness?" "It's already past noon, and the master hasn't had breakfast yet!" Yin Jishan was startled when he heard that, he got up and complained to Fu Heng, "You should have said it when you came—we were stupefied at first, and then fainted with joy, and we didn't Just ask!" When he was busy, he got up to make arrangements, Qianlong smiled and said: "We are not hungry people, you are so panicked. Just take a sip, and we will go - you can't afford to spread the news about my coming to Nanjing. It's related." Yin Jishan hurriedly bowed to laugh, and said: "Slave will understand, master can rest assured! Now that this is the case, the master room was originally prepared for the slave, and the master uses it; the slave eats the master's meal, and the master eats in the big master's room. Go." Everyone laughed, and Yin Jishan withdrew to make arrangements. Qianlong only left Liu Tongxun to accompany him for dinner.Yin Jishan, Fu Hengjin, Zhaohui, Jiyun and five people ate in the flower hall in front of them. While eating, they discussed how to deploy defenses around the Pilu Temple—everyone can go to offer incense in the temple, and the emperor only lives as a pilgrim. Can't bring the slightest "voice".Yin Jishan and all of Jin Ji's personal soldiers, Ma Biangeshha, were gathered in one place, and there were more than a thousand people.Jin Ji still felt that people were not enough, Yin Jishan said: "There are 2,000 people in the northeastern treasury, weaving treasury, and the barracks guarding the treasury of Piluyuan. When a horn is passed, the temple can be surrounded in an instant. It's just There are fewer guards around the emperor, and he can't cope with the sudden change of elbows and armpits. But if there are too many people, he won't look like a pilgrim anymore." "No problem." Fu Heng chewed the steamed buns, stared at the geographical situation map, and said to Zhao Hui: "You go to exchange for Hai Lancha after you finish eating—Wu Xiazi and Duanmu Liangyong are all following, they are all in the world The top fighters, as well as the guards of Battelle, and the two noble masters are also extraordinary. The master's own skills, ordinary thirty or fifty people can't get close to him, and there are several layers of escorts in the bright and dark! Just arrange it like this, Ji Yun and I just live in the treasury and keep in touch. It’s not like we’re in a dangerous city, it’s not good to be too busy. It’s just that the Pilu Courtyard is too dilapidated, and I’m afraid I’ll wrong the master.” Yin Jishan said with a smile: “A year ago The abbot has been rebuilt, and the abbot is the number one eminent monk in Nanjing. Monk Fakong, who has profound morals and is proficient in Buddhist scriptures, can accompany the master to talk about Zen, and can also prevent the master from being harmed by leftist demons." Cha Hailancha was laid off, and Ji Yun smiled Pat the stool, "Sit here, eat quickly. I have something good for you!" Hai Lancha grabbed a piece of beef with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.He is a lively person by nature, gets along all the way, and has already gotten into trouble with Fu Heng and others "Old Fu" and "Old Ji".Then Yin Jishan said: "Where is there any heresy? The platform is very careful. There are ghosts and gods in the world. Ask Zhaohui and me. There are thousands of people who kill people. The corpses are piled up like mountains. Zhaohui and I also went to find ghosts." Come on, blind! Except for the will-o’-the-wisps, I’ve never seen any ghosts before!” "A serious and dignified person like Zhaohui still follow you to do this?" Ji Yun wiped the oil stains on his mouth with a handkerchief, took out two sets of books from the seat and handed them to Hai Lancha, asking, "What do you do for ghost hunting? A male ghost or a female ghost?" Hai Lancha ate something with a grunt, flipped through the book, frowned and said, "This is Shen Yue's rhyme, I only know how white knives go in and red knives come out, I want this shit to do it Well - both male and female ghosts are looking for it, if you find a male, it's a rare sight, if it's a female, you'll sleep with a ghost woman." Fu Heng was still looking at the map, so he chuckled and asked, "Are there more female ghosts?" "The more the better, we are Han Xin ordering troops!" "What about a large group?" "I also have a large group of soldiers!" Everyone roared with laughter.Ji Yun laughed so that his beard trembled wildly, and said: "Soldiers and ghosts match, I don't have so much money to buy poetry rhymes to give away--you set, Zhaohui set, take it for research--count me as the wedding ceremony for you two ghost couples." Congratulations!" Jin Hao laughed and said, "It's very elegant, my son Yugui's four major rhymes!" "You must never think of Ji Dayan in an elegant place!" Fu Heng pinched the map with one hand and pointed to a book with the other and said with a smile: "Just think in an ordinary place, the more ordinary, the more right it is!" Ji Yun slapped his knee and said: " Yuan Chang has already seen through it, so I just said it, it is really the four major rhymes of the newlyweds—don’t you want to “level up and enter”?” Everyone was in an uproar after hearing this, and when they were about to discuss matters, they saw Liu Tongxun and Zhaohui When the money came in, they all stopped talking and laughing and stood up. "From now on, I will take care of the escort." Liu Tongxun said solemnly, standing in front of the door, "Fu Heng and Hai Lancha Zhaohui will leave tomorrow for Sichuan to reorganize the army. Le Min has received the order in Hanyang. You stay in Hanyang for three days, and then go to Chengdu for camp—this is the will!" The three of them, Fu Heng and others, hurriedly knelt down, and said in a loud voice: "Zha—the servants obey the order!" Liu Tongxun raised his hand and ordered them to stand up, but he changed his smile and said, "The Lord just finished eating, and he said that he would To meet all of you, I advise the emperor to rest for a while, and Battelle will tell you to go there later." Fu Heng then told Liu Tongxun the details of the discussion just now, and said: "From now on, the master is in your charge. It was originally said to wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival before going to the army, why did it suddenly change?" "The chaos caused by the soldiers is too disgraceful—Le Min and Yue Zhonglin both handed over the papers. The emperor's meal was not very useful, and the chopsticks were all dropped." Liu Tongxun sat on a chair by the window at will, and observed Zhaohui and Hailan: "It was said that I would give you three months off after the southern tour, get married in Nanjing, and go shopping around. It was I who suggested that you go to Chengdu with Master Liu to reorganize the army. Shouldn't you resent old Liu for being unreasonable?" Zhao Hui Said: "A man can't abolish state affairs with his personal feelings. I still have this knowledge." Hai Lancha also said: "Following the sixth master will surely win the battle! First let out this birdishness in Jinchuan, and come back to get married happily What's too late?" Liu Tongxun nodded, and said: "The rebellious soldiers have become king bees. The two prefectures of Kangding and Ba'an, robbed merchants, raped and robbed women from good families. The county magistrate couldn't restrain them, so they fled to the mansion. Dropped, roasted beef to eat. Hundreds of rout soldiers also sneaked into the province, robbed the silver shop and pawn shop, Jin Hui ordered 3000 green battalions to enter the city, and then suppressed them. Qinghai also has scattered rout soldiers, no one cares, no one asks The yaks that rob Tibetans are slaughtered and eaten. These animals have no humanity, and are worse than bandits!" Now that Fu Heng has a direct affiliation with Hai Lancha Zhaohui, he refuses to laugh at it.Standing with his hands on the window sill and looking outside, he murmured, "The weather in Jinchuan is extremely cold, and I'm afraid there will be frosty weather now... Yuan Chang, I want to borrow 200,000 silver to buy bricks in Sichuan. You need to set up a fire cage, otherwise, you will suffer from frostbite and attrition..." "Why do you have to borrow it? Zhaohui's five hundred taels of gold was originally used for military expenses, Hailancha's banknotes have also been unsealed, and the Nanking Ticket Office can get the silver. There is not much left, and I will withdraw it from the treasury." If you take it away, the vassal and the Ministry of War here will cancel it, so it’s over?" Yin Jishanyong smiled calmly, shaking his bamboo fan and said slowly: "After the Double Ninth Festival in September, I will go to Xi’an, and I will still assist you This coach, you even 'borrowed' away people, let alone money. Everyone fought hard and captured Sha Luoben, um, this, this... save our red-robed general with two guns from dreaming in wild graves , it's time to 'level up and enter'..." Everyone laughed.Seeing the solid Mongolian guard Bateer approaching, Fu Heng said to Zhao Hai and the others, "Let's go." Qianlong took a short nap in the afternoon and woke up in good spirits. He only wore a jade-colored Ning silk robe without a belt, took off his shoes and took a book from the bookshelf to browse casually. Without raising it, he waved his hand and said, "Give me a seat for free!" Then he continued to read. "yes……" The three of them beat Qian'er lightly to salute, and then sat on the chair with a slanted sign and looked at Qianlong.Qianlong stared at the book for a long time, then raised his head with a sigh, and said, "It's still Ji Yun who is well-versed and memorized, and even remembers the page numbers of the book volumes pretty well!—Do you know what is called a 'crowned dog'?" "I don't know." Zhaohui sat upright on his knees, with a slight shame on his face, and said, "I only know a few words. I have read it. I ask the master to say "Grandson" for example. This kind of book is read by slaves." I don’t understand.” Hai Lancha said, “I know. A ‘crested dog’ is a dog wearing a hat. The common people have called it a ‘dog official’—I don’t know if it’s correct.” Fu Hengming thought hard and shook his head, Qianlong had thrown the book and laughed, and said: "Hai Lancha is just as the name suggests! You are trying to be smart, not knowledgeable. Fu Heng, what about you?" I remember, but I can't say it clearly.Yin said: "It seems to be written in twenty-four li. It is about Liu He, the king of Changyi in the Western Han Dynasty. It seems strange. It seems that there is a goblin named Guangou, with a human body and a dog's head. Others... I can't remember it." "The important thing is not the anecdote." Qianlong said, "It was the king of Changyi who saw this monster and asked Gong Sui what was good or bad. If you don't go, you will perish."... "King Tiancheng, I am afraid that the palace will be empty, and there will be danger!'" The three of them couldn't help looking at each other.They are full of "whole army", planning to dominate the situation in Jinchuan, killing Sha Luoben alone, thinking that Qianlong must have some admonitions, and military, political and security affairs must also be arranged, why suddenly talk about learning and anecdotes? ?Fu Hengyou guessed Qianlong's thoughts, but he talked with Qianlong day and night in recent years, and the master became more and more sophisticated.His knowledge is also becoming more and more extensive, and if he thinks about it, the more he thinks about it, the more outrageous he becomes.Because of thinking about his own errands and missions, he suddenly realized that he was calm in the chair and cupped his hands, and said: "The king of Changyi is the king of adultery and fainting. It is not surprising to see strange things. Now the sage Yao and Shun are in the sky, and there is no one in the world. The change of the power struggle in Xiaoqiang, there is no danger of strong invaders from outside, and the strength of the country is unparalleled since Qin Shihuang. The corruption of officials is undoubtedly a chronic disease that has accompanied the prosperity of the past dynasties. The Lord does not need to worry too much, but be vigilant. , rectify slowly, it will naturally get better gradually.” "Two generals, what do you think?" Qianlong no longer looked melancholy, nodded, and asked Zhaohui and Hailancha again.Zhaohui said honestly, "I'm surprised: Although I don't know history, the old people say that Shengzhi is better now than when Grandfather Sheng, the world is clear and bright, and the world is clear and bright. We waited on the Lord all the way, leaving Beijing safely and entering safely. Nanjing, I haven’t even seen a shadow of a thief, why did I suddenly mention ‘Crown Dog’, it sounds like I’m having a rash.” “I don’t even understand.” Hai Lancha said seriously: “The dog official in the world—— It's true that there are too many dogs. According to the slave's thinking, there are only four words of "that's all". Isn't the master now rectifying the administration of officials? Catch those big crested dogs, and the role that cannot be provoked will be overthrown and cut off. His head is called that..." He scratched his scalp and couldn't think of words, Zhaohui whispered something, and Hai Lancha said, "Yes! That's called the Hanging Kingdom Gate—not the Military Gate—to make an example. Who dares to be a crown dog?" Qianlong was full of thoughts, and he laughed amusedly by him, and his spirit suddenly became much refreshed, because he sighed: "If I think about it carefully, why can't the crown dog be interpreted as a 'dog officer'? "Observing the fall of a leaf, you can know the coming of autumn, the shade under the trial hall, and you can know the movement of the sun and the moon, and the changes of yin and yang." You must be mentally broken, like the king of Changyi, who oozes blood for no reason, and still Knowing that the time of repair should change? If things are abnormal, they are monsters. For example, there have always been fake reliefs for disaster relief. How can it be like this now? , Caodu, Salt Affairs, and money and food for punishment, the money will be rubbed off a layer of skin, sharper than a pair of scissors. Such greed, how can it not be shocking!" He bent down a finger, and said again: "I don't care about Yin Jishan. Jin Ji's talent is slightly inferior, but he is still a top capable official. In such a Jiangnan province, more than 200 officials have rotted. Get rid of it and replace it with a new one, saying yes Local officials must use scholars instead of writing to fill in the vacancies—what is the result?" He glanced at the three of them.Zhaohui Fu Heng only listened intently.Chahai Lancha met his eyes, couldn't bear Qianlong's gaze, bowed and said, "From what I heard, it seems a little better?" "Better?" Qianlong snorted, "No improvement! Today I recognize someone of the same age, and tomorrow I find an in-law, and then I get up again, scrape money together, and take my aunt and girl to the whore's den in Qinhuai River! When Yin Jishan returned to Nanjing, on the first night he arrested thirty-six officials of the ninth rank or above, and some officials brought their concubines to take over the brothels and indulge in adultery all the time. The daughter was sent to Shangguan to buy a way to ask for an errand. All kinds of nasty things have been done. Such despicable despicableness, how can it not be shocking?" he bent another finger
