Chapter 0352 --for-tat
Lying on his comfortable bed, he slept beautifully all night, and the next morning, Gege changed into a big suit and went to the palace to see Qianlong to report on his work. As soon as I entered the palace, I saw the prince and the prince anxiously opening his head and looking out. As soon as he saw Gege, he hurriedly called a thousand and said: "Qing Gege has arrived, the emperor has been waiting for you for a long time!" After that, the Buddha dust was beaten, and the head led the way and said: "Qing Gege, please go this way, the emperor is waiting in the Qinzheng Palace." ”
All the way to the Qinzheng Palace, the prince shouted loudly outside the palace: "Qing Gege has arrived!" ”
I only heard someone inside: "Xuanjin! ”
Gege entered the temple in full clothes and bowed down. I heard Qianlong in the palace say gently: "If it is sunny, get up quickly!" After that, he said to the little eunuch, "Give me a seat!" ”
The little eunuch hurriedly moved a mahogany chair over. Gege didn't even dare to say anything, but sat down steadily. At this time, Gege found that Qianlong was not the only one in the Qinzheng Palace, and there were still two people sitting on the next small pestle. One of them was about forty years old, with a long beard and beard, dressed in the robes of a first-class military general, and sat with his back straight, but he looked like he was accustomed to marching and fighting. The other is also in his forties, with gray sideburns and sunken eyes, and he is also wearing a first-class civil official uniform, looking at Gege with the corner of his eye. Not wanting to meet Gege's gaze, the two glanced at each other and quickly moved away.
"Ruoqing, let me introduce you, this is Fang Song, the secretary of the ministry, and the other one is Xie Zhonglin, the general of the Henan garrison, both of whom are my beloved ministers, you can get to know each other, and you will be close to each other in the future." Qianlong said to Fang Song and Xie Zhonglin: "I think you also know that she is my cousin. I use it very much. The capture of Saloben this time is mostly due to her. ”
Both of them said yes, but their expressions were full of disdain.
"Ruoqing. I slept well last night, but I worked hard for you in Sichuan? ”
Gege told Qianlong about the situation in Sichuan in 1510, and of course the encirclement and suppression of Wang Qiu by Octagon, and finally Wang Qiu was killed, all of which were told to Qianlong in detail. Qianlong listened attentively, and then said, "I have already seen Wang Qiu's head yesterday. Wang Qiu was killed, and finally ended my heart. Qianlong stood up from the palace and said slowly: "I have been in politics for more than ten years. He has always governed the country with the attitude of leniency and benevolence, and there is no military affairs, and the country is prosperous and the people are rich. How good is that? But I don't understand, why do I have to rebel when I have a good life? Am I not the ruler of a country? ”
The three of them were busy saying no.
Qianlong sighed and said hatefully: "It's okay, a rebellious person like Wang Qiu. Kill the best! ”
Gege opened his mouth and said, "Ruoqing is here for this matter. ”
Qianlong glanced at Gege in surprise. asked, "Coming for Wang Qiu?" ”
Gege replied, "No! Ruoqing wanted Sha Luoben to attack Xiao Jinchuan, most likely because of Wang Qiu's demagogy and instigation. Although killing Wang Qiu was Ruoqing's plan, it was a successful plan to kill. At that time, Ruoqing also promised Princess Akou in Sichuan that as long as Sha Luoben asked for peace, the emperor was willing to forgive their father and daughter. Ruoqing thought, everything was done according to the emperor's orders, what should the emperor do with the two of them? ”
Qianlong slowly paced back behind the table. Sit down. The prince offered tea, and Qianlong was not busy answering. Drinking tea slowly, he said to Wang Yong: "Serve tea to the three of them too!" ”
The king promised to offer three cups of tea.
There was some silence in the hall, except for the sizzling sound of tea leaves being poured with boiling water. Qianlong pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked Fang Song and Xie Zhonglin, "What do you mean?" ”
The two of them looked at each other, and Fang Song said to Xie Zhonglin: "The minister is responsible for the assessment, appointment and dismissal of officials, and he knows very little about this military affairs. General Xie is stationed in Henan, encircling and suppressing the White Lotus Sect, and protecting the safety of the people, he must have pertinent opinions, so please ask General Xie to answer. ”
Xie Zhonglin twisted his beard and said: "Weichen thinks that it is necessary to severely punish Sha Luoben. Sha Luo Ben has been suffering from Sichuan for a long time, injured several of my generals, worked hard and lost money for more than ten years, and spent tens of millions of taels of silver, how can you say that you can let it go! If you let go of Saroben, you will inevitably raise a tiger, and at that time, Salopun will be full-fledged, and it will be even more difficult to control it again. ”
Qianlong hadn't said anything yet, but Fang Song nodded frequently and said, "General Xie is really right!" The minister also thinks that the father and daughter of Saloben should be severely punished! Once and for all, it's the best policy! ”
Listening to their words and words, they sang very harmoniously, and Gege just drank tea slowly, as if he had nothing to hear.
"Ruoqing, what do you mean?" Qianlong suddenly asked Ge Gedao.
Gege put down the teacup and said in a deep voice: "If Qing often hears the emperor say a word, the emperor is a golden mouth, how can he go back on his word and hurt the emperor's majesty?" When Ruoqing and Sa Luoben met in Sichuan, they knew that Sa Luoben liked to read Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" the most. Among them, Zhuge Liang captured Meng seven times, in order to capture people's hearts. Winning against these Tibetans is nothing, but these Tibetans have godlike devotion to their leaders, and if they kill Sarapen, they are afraid that the Tibetans will be desperate to rebel. In this way, the gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, killing Salopen has two harms, one is that the emperor has lost his majesty; Second, the emperor lost the hearts of the people in Sichuan! I hope the emperor will think twice! ”
Xie Zhonglin snorted coldly and said, "Qing Gege said it well! Although Zhong Lin is in the Central Plains, he also knows some things. I heard that Qing Gege and the Sichuan demon girl Ah Kou made friends in private, and Sister Pan attached her sister, pleading for mercy at this time, don't you have your own selfishness? ”
Qianlong was stunned and asked Gege: "Is there such a thing?" Why didn't you mention it to me? ”
Gege replied proudly: "Ruoqing and Ah Koubai were sisters at that time, and they originally meant to have a friendship, if not, how could she be willing to obey Ruoqing and go to Rehe alone to ask for surrender?" Ruoqing is dedicated to the court, and the emperor is clear! ”
Fang Song sneered and said, "Qing Gege really has a good mouth!" With sharp teeth, Fang Song had nothing to say. The emperor will naturally not be deceived by your clever words! ”
Gege was half angry in his heart, and he never imagined that he would meet these two pedantic old guys in the palace! They unite and press step by step, singing and harmonizing only at Gege, can Gege provoke them? I was angry in my heart, but my face was still faint, and I was about to argue a few more words, but I heard Qianlong wave his hand and say: "Don't say it anymore, I have made up my mind!" ”
The three of them were busy listening to Qianlong's answer, only to hear Qianlong say in a deep voice: "Let Sha Luoben and Ah Kou return to Sichuan!" Saroben is still the Dajinchuan Toast, if he disobeys the court again, he will not be spared! ”
Fang Song and Xie Zhonglin shouted in unison: "The emperor thinks twice!" ”
Qianlong impatiently waved his bright yellow and black-edged sleeves and said, "That's it, you guys stand down!" (To be continued......)
