Chapter 411: Emperor Jiaqing was furious
After waiting for a while, Emperor Jiaqing saw that Qianlong still didn't have any reaction, and when he looked at his even breathing, he knew that he was confused again, so he didn't stay anymore and walked out, and he didn't even take away the secret fold. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
From beginning to end, Emperor Jiaqing didn't have any words, and after thinking about the information about Yang Lin, he clearly knew it, and he was also very skeptical about the credibility of the secret fold. After all, in his understanding, Yang Lin was only eighteen years old, and he had only been in Guangzhou City for two and a half years, and colluding with pirates made people suspicious and not very convinced.
Even so, Emperor Jiaqing didn't want to let Yang Lin go, just because Yang Lin was Heshen's person. Moreover, on the issue of dealing with the Han people, especially in the matter of Han officials, Emperor Jiaqing and Qianlong were surprisingly consistent, and would rather kill the wrong person than let it go!
What's more, at this time, the Qing court was in turmoil, and it was not possible to be sloppy, and under the chaos, it needed to be re-enacted.
As soon as he walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Jiaqing stopped on the side of the door and asked softly to the little eunuch beside him, "Isn't Ama still not getting better?" Or do you often forget things? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, recently, the Emperor's memory has become worse and worse, and he often forgets some things."
Emperor Jiaqing frowned, revealing a solemn expression, and instructed in a deep voice: "I know, take good care of the Emperor Taishang, if there is a little difference, be careful of your heads..."
Immediately, the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs prostrate on the ground, silent, and shouted: "The minions don't dare, they must do their best to serve the emperor~!" ”
The emperor's authority is still there, but Emperor Jiaqing has gone away, leaving the frightened crowd still on their knees.
At the military aircraft department, Emperor Jiaqing sat upright and looked down calmly, a military aircraft minister, especially the person headed by He Shen. Just sent a blood drop officer to deal with Yang Lin's affairs, Emperor Jiaqing especially wanted to know about the military situation in the south, especially in the area south of the Yangtze River.
"Ministers, about the Jiangnan area, is there any major military situation recently? What is the situation? ”
Suddenly, as Emperor Jiaqing's words fell, the room became quieter, and no one stood up to talk about the military affairs in Jiangnan, all of them bowed their heads and waited, as if they were waiting for something? After a short silence, He Shen walked out and said unhurriedly: "Emperor Qiqi, since the Fujian and Zhejiang sailors exterminated Cai Yuan's department, as soon as they took back Taiwan, I didn't expect the pirates in Guangdong to flee north, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the imperial court's sailors and being recuperating, they caught the Fujian sailors and the Zhejiang sailors by surprise, and almost all the troops were wiped out, and Taiwan was occupied by pirates again. ”
Bang!
Emperor Jiaqing slammed the case, furious, and stared straight at He Shen. At this moment, Emperor Jiaqing was really angry, his anger was unstoppable, and the fire in his chest rushed upward! However, Emperor Jiaqing was not angry about the defeat of the Fujian and Zhejiang sailors, but because no one told him about it. If it weren't for a whim, if you wanted to understand the Jiangnan military, it is estimated that you would still be kept in the dark.
People say that when the emperor is angry, millions of corpses are crossed, and the dynasty is shaken. However, the atmosphere at this time was a little weird, even if everyone could feel Emperor Jiaqing's dragon face angry, they lowered their heads one after another, and did not dare to speak. However, no one showed great fear and panic, and still stood there quietly, looking like he was looking at the horse.
The wind was surging, the undercurrent was rushing, Emperor Jiaqing's anger was burning wave after wave, and after a while, this evil fire stopped abruptly, Emperor Jiaqing sat down again, his face was extremely ugly, and he asked coldly: "How did I not know that such a big thing happened?" Why didn't anyone report it to me? ”
Emperor Jiaqing was in a state of anger and suppression, constantly hinting that he was calm, waiting for everyone's explanation.
It was still He Shen, in the face of the emperor's questioning, without the slightest panic and fear, and was particularly calm, as if he did not realize the dereliction of duty as the minister of military aircraft, and did not report the defeat of the Fujian and Zhejiang Naval Division, but said softly: "Your Majesty, due to the urgency of the matter at that time, the Fujian and Zhejiang Naval Division was almost lost, and in a short period of time, it was difficult for the imperial court to dispatch a certain naval division to deal with the sudden pirates, so Weichen reported the matter directly to the Emperor Taishang, and his old man dealt with it." ”
As if to prove that what he said was true, He Shen walked to the file shelf on the side, took out an excerpt, and before returning to the bookcase, he handed it to Emperor Jiaqing with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is the Emperor's instructions, as well as the seal of his old man, and the relevant holy decree is kept in the Internal Affairs Office, and there is a case record to check." ”
At this moment, Emperor Jiaqing let the Buddha eat flies, uncomfortable, and helpless. For Heshen's words, half true and false, Emperor Jiaqing didn't believe it very much. Because, his father's memory is getting worse and worse, and he often forgets what he has done, and this He Shen ran to the Yangxin Palace when he had nothing to do, and it was not impossible to stamp the seal of the Emperor Taishang without permission, and there was a little rumor, but there was no evidence.
When Emperor Jiaqing and He Shen were secretly competing, even if they often saw this kind of scene, the other ministers couldn't help but sweat secretly, felt a chill down their spines, and trembled with fear. There has always been a rumor in the imperial court that He Shen is compared to the two emperors, which shows that what he said is not false, and it is not groundless.
He Shen won, won again, regarded himself as a victor, and with the power of Qianlong, the emperor, he once again suppressed Emperor Jiaqing.
After reading Emperor Taishang's handling opinions, Emperor Jiaqing couldn't say what he was in the mood for, and asked: "Heshen, did you propose this method, or did your father deal with it directly?" ”
After winning a game, He Shen was more confident, and he didn't care about Emperor Jiaqing's authority, and said a little proudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen just analyzed the current situation, and the big idea is still taken by Emperor Taishang." ”
"Oh... And my lord, the current situation? What is the current situation, I would like to hear about it? Emperor Jiaqing couldn't tell the joy and sorrow, and asked quietly.
"Your Majesty, this is the case, the Guangzhou Navy, the Fujian Navy, and the Zhejiang Navy, have been hit hard by pirates, and so far they have not been able to form combat effectiveness, and they have not been able to organize corresponding campaigns to exterminate the pirates along the coast. If the water division is mobilized from other places, the matter is rushed and there is no time. Therefore, Weichen suggested that the policy of the Emperor Taishang back then could also be adopted to blockade the coast, and the coastal residents would move inland for another twenty miles. ”
"As a result, there will be no breeding ground for pirates, no food to replenish, and no place to rob. If the pirates dare to invade the interior, they can completely let him come and go. ”
After listening to the last sentence, Emperor Jiaqing's nose was almost crooked, and he exclaimed: "Heshen, what kind of bad idea do you have?!" Twenty miles later, the land south of the Yangtze River, the distance from the coast, plus the previous ban on the sea of my father, together is forty miles. Forty miles, Heshen, do you know what that means? This means that Jiangnan, the land of water and rice, will have a significant reduction in grain production this year, which will produce many disaster victims, and many of them will live on the streets, freezing to death and starving to death. ”
At this moment, Emperor Jiaqing could no longer suppress the anger in his chest, and almost roared angrily: "He Shen, as the Minister of Military Aircraft, the first assistant of the dynasty, you should know that now the whole country is in turmoil, large and small chaotic people have emerged in various places, Hunan, Hubei, Henan and Anhui and other places, there are even natural disasters, almost no grains, and barren fertile land everywhere. ”
"Let me ask you, without the support of rice and grain in Jiangnan, how can the imperial court collect grain from? Without food and tax money, how can we support the war in the southwest? How to provide disaster relief to the land of natural disasters? ”
"He Shen, in February, do you still remember the things that were discussed in the Heart Cultivation Palace? For the sake of today, what is the first priority of the imperial court? ”
He Shen was dumb and silent, not because of Emperor Jiaqing's momentum, but when he was asked, he was speechless, and he didn't know how to answer this repeated question? (To be continued.) )
