And after being sick for a long time, Ah Gui will definitely not be able to wait for himself, so he can only go south alone, raise himself for another ten days and half a month, and travel south slowly, I am afraid that before he arrives at Jiangning Mansion, maybe Yingyi's affairs will have been done, and at that time, the responsibility will have nothing to do with him and someone. It's a pity that the distance between dreams and reality is always disappointing...... He and Shen did have a good calculation, but he couldn't have imagined that Ah Gui, the old Jiang who had been floating in the sea for decades, was also old and cunning to the extreme, and on the second day of his illness, Ah Gui actually came to an eight-hundred-mile urgency, and returned to the Beijing Division, only saying that He Shen was feeling cold and unwell, and asked the emperor if he could send another assistant, after all, such a major matter, it would not be possible without personal consultation.

So, Qianlong was very considerate and sent the inner guards to escort the deputy judge of the Tai Hospital and two imperial doctors to Zhengzhou, and Xinzi diagnosed the decoction for him and Shen and even supervised him to take the medicine.

Moreover, in addition to these three considerate and caring doctors, the guards also sent a message, hearing that He Shen fell ill halfway, He Shen's good brother He Lin immediately went to see the emperor and wanted to go for his brother, which made He Shen almost vomit blood, Lao Tzu tried his best to hide, you kid is good, you actually want to hit the muzzle.

However, in addition to this incident, what made He Shen dare not play a little trick the most was that in addition to the imperial doctor, Qianlong also asked people to reward He Shen with a thousand-year-old mountain ginseng, after seeing the old ginseng, He Shen knew that his trick had been seen through by the old emperor, and the old emperor's intention was obvious, and he clearly told He Shen that if you are sick, there will be a doctor to treat you and keep you safe, even if you and Shen only have half a life left, it's okay, use this thousand-year-old ginseng to hang your little life, and you have to go south to do something for Lao Tzu.

Therefore, He Shen could only reluctantly get up, hurry up with Na Gui, and finally came to the edge of the Yangtze River across the river from Jiangning Mansion.

"Master, what does this emperor think, don't send Liu Yong's old thing, don't send Wang Jie's old thing, how can you send your lord out to take care of this." Seeing He Shen's expression, Liu Quan, who knew what his master was thinking, couldn't help but say hatefully.

"Your Majesty, I originally thought I had seen through the emperor, but now I found out that he had already seen through me as a minion, a deputy judge of the Tai Hospital, and two imperial doctors came together, which can not be described as unmeticulous and thoughtful, and even the thousand-year-old ginseng was prepared for me, this pass, he is holding me as a slave." He Shen smiled bitterly, looked at the rolling river, and couldn't help but sigh. "Disheartened, disheartened......"

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"Master, you are only in your early forties now, and you are in the year of fighting, how can you say such depressing words. Besides, isn't there another Ah Gui in front of you? In addition, isn't that Fu Dashuai also in Jiangning Mansion? ”

Hearing Liu Quan's words, he knew that this loyal servant's concern for him came from the bottom of his heart, and He Shen patted Liu Quan's shoulder, and said with a cold smile: "Fukangan is the emperor's nephew, and the emperor's favor for him even exceeds those princes, the emperor drove us over, just don't want his good nephew to take this responsibility, as for Ah Gui, who has a decades of civil and military career, he is cunning and cunning, because he knows that it is better for him to stand up himself when others take him out and take responsibility." ”

"After all, he is the first assistant of the dynasty, and the country is in trouble, as the first assistant, how can he retreat from the difficulties? And as soon as he stood up like this, he not only seemed responsible, but also had the meaning of taking the risk for the court, you know, he has been through ups and downs for decades, whether in the court or in the army, his protégé has passed the world several times, he stood up, no one will blame him, only say that he is responsible. But I'm different. ”

He Shen turned his head, looked at the hanging cabin curtain, and took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with resentment. In the eyes of those people, Lao Tzu and Shen are a courtier of his mother, a villain who only knows how to meet and pat horses, and a corruption that is heard all over the world.

But who of them knows how many times the emperor stretches out his hand to me every year, the cost of each southern tour, the cost of building a garden, and the wealth given to those Mongolian and Tibetan vassal countries who come to pay tribute every year, but they are all squeezed out of the treasury by Lao Tzu with great pains, for the sake of not the face of the emperor and the face of the court. Hmph, if they are allowed to do it, in less than a year, they will definitely provoke the anger of the emperor Long Yan, and at that time, no one will be able to step down. ”

"Yes, sir, your financial management skills are in our Great Qing Kingdom, but this is the first one." Liu Quan lost no time in interjecting.

"What's the use of that? The emperor sent me, to be honest, he is not worried about Ah Gui and Fukangan, these two people have been in the army for a long time, and their tempers are very arrogant, and Fukangan is even more so, if they disagree with each other, they will point their sleeves and leave, then I don't know what year and month this matter will drag on, even if Yingyi can afford it, the court can't afford it. He Shen stroked the two short beards, with a helpless face.

"Could it be that the emperor wants to ......" Hearing He Shen's words, Liu Quan couldn't help but shudder and whispered. He Shen smiled bitterly: "It's now the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong, and the emperor will abdicate next year, will he let this matter go on like this, and this matter will only get bigger and bigger, what kind of person is the emperor, who calls himself a perfect old man, if he abdicated, because of these little heroes, and the whole world is ......" He Shen did not say any more, but everything was already clear.

Liu Quan is his confidant, and he has never hidden Liu Quan from someone when he does things, so there is nothing wrong with letting Liu Quan know about the joint, after all, everyone has to have a person who talks and chatters, right? Otherwise, don't you suffocate yourself?

"The Great Qing Kingdom will actually have such a day? Master, this, this is really ......" Liu Quan was a little panicked and a little confused, he couldn't have imagined that the Great Qing Kingdom would actually have a day when he would surrender to a foreign barbarian.

"yes, who would have thought that this would be the situation it is before this happened?" The wry smile on He Shen's face became a little strange, and he looked at the scenery of the Yangtze River and said slowly: "I didn't expect it, I really let that guy guess." ”

"Anyone guessed?" Liu Quan couldn't help but be taken aback, and raised his head to look at his master.

"Of course it's me. Hey, hey, hey......" Liang Pengfei put on an expression of loyalty to the country, but the problem was that he leaned his head on Pan Bingjie's thigh. "Speaking of which, I am also benevolent enough, for the sake of the Qing Kingdom, even all the consequences have been considered for them, but the question is, believe it or not, this is up to me."

"If there is a disturbance today, whether it is officials or ordinary people, they are all panicking, but also, the co-lord of the world in the past, the central country, will have such a day, it is really difficult for people to accept." Next to him, Shi Xianggu, who was feeding fish soup to her son Xiao Liangbao, shook her head and sighed.

"Yes, the dignified Celestial Empire, now it has actually forced a small English to this point, it's really ......" The expression on Pan Bingjie's face was not much better than that of Shi Xianggu, and there was a faint trace of unbearability and pity on her pretty face.

Liang Pengfei raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not answer, yes, anyone who wants to accept this status quo does need to go through a painful struggle, and it is very uncomfortable after this long-term feeling of superiority.

"I'm sorry, husband, you won't be angry with me, will you?" Seeing Liang Pengfei's face that was gradually becoming a little gloomy, Pan Bingjie, who realized that she had said the wrong thing, couldn't help but quickly distinguish: "Actually, what I want to say is that they are all those bad officials in the court, and they are the ones who have made the country what it is today." ”

"Your husband and I are just a standard villain official......" Liang Pengfei rolled his eyes when he heard it, although Liang Pengfei is a military general, and he is not doing the work of a pro-people official, but he strictly investigated smuggling in Liangguang, cut off the financial route of many people, and even ruined many opium merchants, in the eyes of many people, Liang Pengfei is also a standard villain and official.

“…… I didn't mean to. Pan Bingjie saw the weird smile on Shi Xianggu's face next to her, as well as the helplessness on Liang Pengfei's face, Pan Bingjie, who knew that she had said the wrong thing again, pursed her pink red lips, with a look of displeasure, and the little hand that was originally gently rubbing Liang Pengfei's shoulders and neck began to increase her strength.

Liang Pengfei, who let this stinky girl grin in revenge, quickly sat up straight: "Okay, okay, I didn't say that you did it on purpose, but I felt a little depressed when I thought about it." By the way, how are your dads doing these days? ”

"What else, now the owners of those other trading houses run to my house all day long, making my father a little bit of a little leisurely, and he doesn't even have time to have lunch." Pan Bingjie felt depressed when she mentioned this, and finally went back to her parents' house for a few days, but as a result, Pan Youdu let those merchants who came and went and businessmen from all over the country complain about it, and the family was not at peace, and he didn't even say a few words to his daughter.

"This is also true, after all, these merchants of the Thirteen Lines rely on overseas trade, and now in this war, there is no place to sell the goods in their hands, can they not be in a hurry? Fortunately, it is winter, and this year's tea should have been sold out early, and the new tea will have to wait for several months. Liang Pengfei took the tea handed over by Pan Bingjie, took a sip, scratched his smooth scalp and smiled.

"That being said, the merchants feared that if the battle lasted for a long time, the business would not be able to survive. But the court still had to tax them. Pan Bingjie stretched out her hand and teased the little Liang Bao who was staring at her with big black eyes, and said. Just like now, the new governor has told my father through Governor Guo that now the Guangdong Navy warships are not fully stocked, and I hope that all the merchants can help them, and it is clear that they are coming to extort money again. ”
