"Slave Fu Heng pleads guilty!" In his opinion, whether it is the northwest, Shandong, Henan or Fujian, the safflower society that has recently emerged is a small problem, as long as the Prince Zhuang in the northeast is cleaned up, the entire court can be re-twisted into a rope, with the strength of my Qing Dynasty, it is not like crushing an ant to crush these chaotic people who do not think about the emperor's grace. If you can't kill Prince Zhuang in a short time, the hearts of the people in the court will fluctuate, and now those princes are waiting to see their own good shows, if they don't leave Fukangan in the capital to lead the loyal troops, they will force the palace to question the authenticity of the edict. Fortunately, the Queen Mother also knew the seriousness of the matter, and she did not leave an edict to death, but this could only delay the time of the outbreak.

Then look down, it turned out that the army led by Fu Heng and Prince Zhuang fought a big battle outside Shengjing City, Fu Heng just broke Prince Zhuang's formation, and killed a Mongolian cavalry from the side, and the two sides had their own damage in a melee, although Prince Zhuang's losses were heavier than Fu Heng's, but the plan to take Shengjing in a short period of time was undoubtedly in vain.

Urging salaries, asking for reinforcements! Qianlong rubbed his temples, now almost all the active armies in the north have been transferred to Fu Heng, and then the only way to transfer them is from the capital and Shanxi, but the army in the capital has to guard against those princes, and the army in Shanxi has to guard against the Mongol invasion, where can they draw people out of a while! As for the salary, the 200,000 taels last time caused a lot of resentment among the people, and it is said that Fujian was instigated by the Red Flower Society because it was too much suppressed in the name of those officials who followed up with the salary.

Let's draw some more people from Shaanxi and Gansu! The salary was drawn from the Ministry of Internal Affairs first, and Qianlong seemed to see that the plan for the next trip to Jiangnan was leaving him. turned out another letter, but it was Fujian officials who impeached and Shen for colluding with the Red Flower Society and plotting against him. Qianlong sneered, it's just a strategy for these wastes to try to muddy the water and shirk their responsibilities! Looking at the incriminating evidence written on the fold of how Xin Yan bought He Shen and how he and He Shen's family transported the silk woven by Jiangning overseas for profit, Qianlong killed He Shen for the first time. In the past, I saw that you could still manage money for the imperial court, and turn a blind eye to your corruption and bribery, but I didn't expect you to cause such a big disaster! It is said that the Heshen family has a lot of money, if he copied his house, maybe he could make up enough for Fu Heng's military expenses?

Qianlong, this is a big underestimation of Heshen. Copying his house, not to mention the military spending in the Northeast, plus Shandong, Henan, Fujian and the Northwest are more than enough, but unfortunately at present, except for Heshen, the court is either a Manchurian gentleman, or a Han Confucianism who only understands Zi Yue Shiyun, and he doesn't even have half of Heshen's financial management ability.

"Your Majesty. He Shen and Lord ask to meet! The little eunuch waiting outside the door recited.

"Humph!" , Qianlong was trying to let people drive He Shen away, but after thinking about it, he endured it again, "Let him get in!" ”

After a while, He Shen bent over and trotted in all the way. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground and walked all the way to Qianlong, "Master, the slave has the grace of the saint, and the slave has come to ask for sin!" ”

"Hmph, I didn't see that you still have such guts!" , Qianlong kicked He Shen down, "I even rushed out my things to sell!" The safflower would be a taboo for Qianlong, and he didn't even want to mention it in front of He Shen.

"Your Majesty! That's not a minion's job! He Shen was not surprised or delighted. The master's willingness to beat him proved that he did not completely give up on his intentions, and hurriedly climbed back to distinguish it, "It's all because the slave is not strict, which caused the door to go out and use the name of the slave to do such a big rebellion!" He Shen put all the responsibility on Liu An.

"So you don't know about it?" , Qianlong laughed angrily.

"The minions never know!" , He Shen bit the stone and denied it, "The slave has sold his property to make up 200,000 taels of silver, and I hope Your Majesty will atone for his sins!" ”。 He Shen's heart is dripping blood, 200,000 taels of silver! This is tantamount to spitting out all the money you got from the heart inkstone, and this business is a big loss!

"Your and your lord's fortune is worth 200,000 taels of silver? Go back and make up 400,000 taels, and the matter will be revealed! ”。 Qianlong thought that such a large sum of silver should be able to give him a long memory!

He Shen let out a long breath when he heard this, as long as the money can be settled! He kowtowed and agreed, thinking about how long it would take to send the silver up, while pondering where to make up for it.

The next day, the ministers at the court meeting were divided into two groups, and one group strongly demanded that He Shen be held accountable and that he be investigated and prosecuted. Headed by Liu Tongxun, Minister of Military Aircraft, a group of people cheered; The other group helped He Shen shirk his responsibility, and the two sides quarreled.

"That's it! His Majesty Heshen has already handed over the guilt silver, and this matter is not allowed to be mentioned again! Qianlong patted the armrest of the dragon chair and said, "It's understandable that Nalan Yuanshu has just taken office, so let him go home to retire on the spot!" Nalan Yuanshu has some connections in the court, and in the current extraordinary period, he still has to take care of the face of the Manchurian relatives.

The Manchurian officials who were clamoring to take down Heshen didn't really want to bring him down, the purpose was nothing more than to keep Nalan Yuanshu and even Xinzhu and Yang Tingzhang, and when they saw that the goal had been achieved, they would no longer entangle, but Liu Tongxun was still biting on it, but unfortunately he couldn't make any waves alone.

Then we began to discuss the matter of additional compensation, and most officials were happy to see this kind of thing come to fruition, and they could make a fortune themselves when they had a reason to receive money, which was a good thing! As a result, Liu Tongxun stood up and shouted to be sympathetic to the people and tried to stop it, and of course, his plan failed again.

Halfway through the meeting, I finally received good news, and the Ministry of War reported that Shu Hede had stopped Wang Lun's rebel army in Linqing, and the safety of Caoyun was temporarily guaranteed, but unfortunately Wang Lun's rebels could not be annihilated due to insufficient military strength.

Hearing the first half, Qianlong was happy for a while, but the second half gave him a headache, this is asking the court for money again! After passing the troops in Beijing several times, he gritted his teeth and drew a thousand men from the Jianrui battalion and the firearms battalion to let Efu Ravandorji go to the army of Shuhd to help in the battle.

dragged his tired body back to the dormitory, and before he started to rest, he received the news that the Red Flower Society in Fujian had begun to hold a pseudo-examination and that he was admitted to the first show to buy people's hearts. Red Flower Society! Qianlong secretly raised his vigilance against the Red Flower Society, and planned to wait for the Northeast to be peaceful, and then let his cronies and generals take their soldiers and horses to Fujian to quell the rebellion. (To be continued.) )
