Four days later, the 10,000-character Xuanjihui embroidered brocade map that Gao Heng bought for Tang'er was transmitted to Beijing. Gao Heng sent this object with the light of the flowering coral hat, because there was no "leather to wear it" in Qianlong's will, and there was no clear hair, except for Yin Jishan and a few people who listened to the will on the spot, the entire officialdom did not know. Therefore, the court officials in the governor's yamen signing room did not even beat for a moment, and transferred Gao Heng's letter to Beijing and the brocade contained in the file to "Fu Heng", along with the will and the advisory letter of Yin Jishan and others, all of which were transferred in the hands of Ah Gui of the Military Aircraft Department of the Military Aircraft Department for 800 miles.

Since entering the military aircraft department, Ah Gui has never been so busy as he is now. When Qianlong was in Beijing, he didn't think that Fu Heng was in charge of the Military Aircraft Department, and there was a large group of large and small Zhangjing, Liu Tongxun was in charge of the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, the Law Department, the Imperial Procuratorate, and Ji Yun was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, the Hanlin Academy, the Guozijian, and the Internal Affairs Office. The rest of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Officials are all responsible to Fu Heng, and he is only in charge of the Ministry of Soldiers. is also in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and it is already a thing that people who feel that they can't finish reading the documents can't be done. Now the six ministries and three temples have smashed on his head in a package, and he has to take care of and transmit the twists and turns of the provinces, keep track of the whereabouts of the queen mother and the queen car and boat on the southern tour, and receive officials from other provinces who have entered Beijing to report on their work, promote and depose officials, and ignore the fire and smoke in one place. In the meantime, he really understood what it meant to be "a great opportunity". At first, the third watch retreated to the fifth watch, and he also touched his family, but later felt that it was more difficult to send the officials who rushed home to ask for instructions, so he simply lived in the duty room of the minister of military machinery, and even turned to the cooking errand. I can sleep for two hours a day, and I can also play Tai Chi to activate my muscles and bones. Rao is a military general, he has a good body, and he works so hard that he is so tired that he is paralyzed in the mud at the end of the day.

After receiving a thick stack of documents from Nanjing, Ah Gui immediately stopped meeting officials, sat cross-legged on the kang, and ordered Da Zhangjing beside him: "Tell the officials who come to see outside, as long as they are not sent by the military aircraft department, they will report to the ministry, especially if there is an urgent matter, write an abridgement in a few sentences first, I will see, officials below the third grade, you four Da Zhangjing will see - this has been arranged, don't ask me for instructions as soon as you hear it, bring it in to meet you." As he spoke, he drank tea in his mouth and read the scroll with one hand. Because he saw that Yin Jishan directly sent his own letter with the words "Personally Reveal Top Secret", he cut it with a knife, and called a eunuch and said: "This thick file is the sixth master's private letter, you can go and send it to Mrs. Say hello to me. Tell Mrs. that if there is anything to do, just tell the Military Aircraft Department - this is a letter from Gao Hengren's mansion, and bring it to him by the way. ”

After saying that, he didn't speak, and took it out to see, in addition to Yin Jishan Ji Yun's, there was also a letter from Fu Heng on the eve of his departure from Ning, instructing himself to "have heavy responsibilities, heavy affairs, detailed matters, coordination of medium affairs, and ignore small things." There is no impetuousness, no impetuousness, no ambiguity, and no pretensions. It's just the mean......" is a few words, and it is written very earnestly. Ah Gui was caught in tedious chores, and these few words of "the prime minister's silence" were really as cool as drinking peppermint oil. Thanking Fu Heng, and looking at Yin Jishan, but it was thousands of words, because he talked about the autumn rain in Gansu, and asked for the rain report in Gansu Province to see, and asked Zhang Jing to "check the rainfall in Gansu and Shaanxi at this time in previous years and the table of the rise and fall of the Yellow River", and also asked to see the autumn flood situation at the intersection of the Yellow River and the Yellow River. Because he saw that Ji Yun's letter mentioned Qianlong, "Watching Mrs. Hailancha's elegant letter, the holy face laughed." Knowing that my brother is in Beijing, everything is piled up like a mountain, and I would like to attach a stunt. The second duke of Zhaohai went to Jinchuan to join the army, and he could ask his wife to give condolences when he went to his mansion...... "Seeing Ji Yun mentioning Qianlong's punishment of Gao Heng, Ah Gui moved down to the kang and read it respectfully, but in addition to stating his will, he did not mention a word before and after. But now that he has been dismissed, Gao Heng can still entrust someone to deliver 800 miles to speed up the mail, which makes people puzzled - and Fu Heng is not in Beijing, just left Nanjing, and it is even more incredible to send things to Fu Heng's mansion......

Standing for a while, listening to the rustle of the bell in the corner of the door of the military aircraft, "Dangdang" trembled twice, Ah Gui came back to his senses and smiled and said to a few Zhang Jing and eunuchs who were standing aside and preparing to take things seriously: "I have not finished Shen at the beginning of the card, and I have been sitting until this time, and my head is a little dizzy." I'm going to go out and walk around—except for your shifts, and you're going to sort out the recitals, the notes, and the folds that you sent today. Jinchuan's and those related to Jinchuan's military, river affairs, autumn flood conditions, winter wheat preparations, impeachment of officials, and reports on the affairs of various ministries and ministries were sorted out by category, and the most important ones were singled out. You can go back to the next value. The next shift on duty gave an explanation, and I went out for two hours and came back before dark. ”

"Yes!" Several military planes, big and small, Zhang Jing bowed down and dispersed in response. Ah Gui picked out a few documents from the table, put them under his armpit, and walked out of the military plane. More than a dozen provincial officials who were standing at the gate of Jingyun waiting to report to the military aircraft were gathering to speak in a low voice, and when they saw Ah Gui walking out, they were busy talking, and they all beat down Qian'er to say goodbye, and the Sula eunuchs at the gate of Jingyun also bowed their backs one by one and stood with their hands down.

Blown by the cool breeze on the empty heavenly street, Ah Gui felt refreshed, looking at the thick and faint clouds on the autumn sky slowly moving south, the majestic three halls, the eaves and wings between the "human" herringbone geese flying south, he breathed a deep sigh of relief, and smiled at everyone: "Brother is in charge of affairs, too busy, let the brothers wait for a long time, here to apologize." There is a file of your name in the military aircraft department, if the ministry transfers it, the brother will pay attention to it. It is really necessary to talk face-to-face, not trivial, it is the difficulty of showing love and compassion for brothers - which one is the prefect of Taiwan? ”

"Humble duty!" An official in his thirties flashed out, bowed down and said, "Huluoying, a lowly man, was born as a jinshi in the twelfth year of Qianlong—" "I've seen your resume." Ah Gui smiled and waved his hand and said: "You are far away from your office, and you are still separated by sea, today I want to meet you, one is money and food, the second is the Japanese water thieves, and the third is the sect of the White Lotus Sect in Taiwan." Let's talk first, go south on the way back, and the emperor will also summon me - I have something to do when I go out at this time, don't wait hard, you will come in after two hours and a moment. ”

After Ah Gui finished speaking, he went out of Jingyun Gate, but saw Tang'er coming out of the east lane of Cining Palace and walked head-on. Ah Gui couldn't help but smile, stood still, and said, "Sister-in-law is fine!" I was about to go over to say goodbye, but Ke Ke'er met me! Isn't that a coincidence? Where did you come from? Tang Er looked at his face, leaned closer, and said with a smile: "When Zai is becoming more and more human, this is a head-on encounter, so he said, 'I'm going to go over and say goodbye'!" is still 'Coco'er', the people below listen to you full of poetry and clouds, and the prime minister still has these words, and he is not afraid of people laughing! Be careful, do things leisurely, you look in the mirror, the eye bubbles are bruised, the cheekbones are also red, and you can shave your head and shave your head to shave and wash and wash, both rest, but also to get rid of the anger - I went in to send a face of embroidery to the master's mother, although she went south, I offered it to her in front of the statue of Guanyin in the small Buddha Hall of Zhongcui Palace - you are just my house, I am going to the house to see my brother and sister, there is something important to pass on to you! ”

"I'm really going to the Sixth Master's Mansion, by the way, please be safe, I still have something to say." Ah Gui smiled and said seriously, "Now that I see it here, I don't have to run away—look at those gangs," he said with a look inside the Jingyun Gate, "all waiting for me to speak!" I accompanied my sister-in-law to take a look at Hailancha's family and Zhaohui's family—they didn't pass through the door, and no one in Beijing took care of them, so it was inconvenient for me to go alone. It's just right to go over together. Tang'er smiled: "Stop! Obviously asked me to accompany you, but I said that you should accompany me! The more people practice, the deeper they become, and you have a good mouth after training! He said that he walked out not far behind Ah Gui, and there were many guards and eunuchs in front of him, so the two stopped laughing.

Hailancha and Zhao Huici's house is in Hufang Bridge Shihu Hutong, sitting east and west facing two large mansions next to each other. The opposite door is the Wei family compound, all of which are chalky and newly poured Xiamen, and the powder walls along the street are newly painted with lime, which is contrasted with the century-old houses that are lined up with each other, which is particularly bright. The four-person sedan chair that Ah Gui sits, Tang'er is a bamboo silk sedan chair, which is stuffed into the alley to occupy more than half of the lane, and is afraid that it will be inconvenient for other sedan chairs and horses to enter and exit, so he stopped at the mouth of the alley. A group of old women came out with Tang'er in their arms, but Ah Gui only brought two pen posts from the Internal Affairs Office, and Xu Bu came in. As soon as I turned the corner of the alley, I heard the faint voices of people in front of me, and then I heard the crying of Zhaohui's house, and there was a mountain sound in the Guangliang door, and a woman with her hair scattered, a black, white and red wool skirt and a crimson robe, stepping on long leather boots, holding a dagger in one hand and dragging Zhaohui's unmarried lady Yun Girl in the other, strode out, and said something loudly, as if she was angry and scolding. Ding E'er followed closely behind, and a few little maids, all of whom turned pale with fright, shouting: "Rob people!" Fast...... Stop! Seeing the woman's fierce face, Tang'er dragged Miss Yun straight forward, frightened a child, and hurriedly flashed behind Ah Gui. The idlers who watched the bustle outside the alley immediately surrounded the front and back, but no one dared to approach.

The muscles on Ah Gui's face twitched imperceptibly twice, standing still to block the way. His might seemed to intimidate the woman; The woman stopped, and shouted something in a high-pitched, hoarse voice, but no one could understand her.

"You're Tibetan, aren't you?" Ah Gui stared at the woman, knowing the main reason in his heart, he froze his mind and asked unhurriedly, "Can you speak Chinese?" "Yes!" The woman shouted, "Get out of the way!" Then there was another string of Tibetan words. Ah Gui stood like a nail and said, "I'm not Han either, you scolded in vain." Although I sent troops to release horses, fought against you in Jinchuan, and fought against Tibetans on the battlefield, in fact, Tibetans I admire very much. How do you bully a weak woman? ”

"I'm a woman too!"

"Oh!" Ah Gui was stunned for a moment, laughed, and said, "But you can get knives and guns, she can only play with embroidery needles." Do you understand - "He made a gesture of threading a needle and thread" - he who can sew clothes - tailor - understand? A person with a dagger should not bully a person with an embroidery needle, it should not be! He shook his head with a disapproving look on his face.

The woman was a little embarrassed by him, hesitated to look at the weak Miss Yun, let go of her hand, and immediately clenched it tightly, her eyes were sprayed with anger, and she said sharply: "I, I am the lady of Jinchuan Guzha Duoyun!" Now that her husband is going to kill my father, to kill our brothers and sisters, and to plunder our cattle and sheep and pastures, why can't I kill her? ”

"Ahh Duoyun-" Ah Gui's eyes flashed like lightning, "It's the heroine of Jinchuan!" A female hero, it's not good to treat an innocent woman like this! His face became as flat as water, and he said expressionlessly: "The attack on Jinchuan was requested by my Ah Gui to send troops, and it is the will of the imperial court. If you have something to say, you should say to the court, you want revenge, you should do it to me, you want to kill a woman, you should kill my wife. If you let go of her, I will never embarrass you. Do you understand? Your husband is not bent on going against the court. If you kill her, we won't even have room to make peace. Fighting for life is clearly written in the laws of the Qing Dynasty, don't you want your husband and children, don't you want your Jinchuan grassland, Baiyun cattle and sheep? What a great place that is! Seeing that the two officials of the Shuntian Mansion had crawled behind them and tiptoed closer, Ah Gui seemed more calm and calm, and said eloquently...... The mountain is so high, the mountain is covered with snow that does not melt all year round, the snow water flows down from the mountain, there are clear streams everywhere, evergreen pines and cypresses, deciduous trees, and meadows and pastures as far as the eye can see...... Take! He suddenly shouted, and the two servants suddenly pounced on them like hungry wolves, one grabbed the cloud girl away, and the other twisted Duoyun's arm with his backhand!

This suddenly changed, and even the clouds that were stunned were defenseless, but they were twisted, and one turned back sharply, stabbed at the officer, and hit the officer's eye socket, and the officer screamed when he killed the pig: "My mother!" Covering his face, he rolled over and fell to the ground, rolling and howling as if screaming for his life. The official of the girl who pushed the clouds turned around and drew his sword, but where was the time? Duoyun's figure was fluttering, and he stepped forward with an arrow step, and the official squatted down a sweeping leg, his calf and stomach had been stabbed, and he snorted and threw himself on the horse and crawled to the ground. Seeing that she was brave, the two pen posts around Ah Gui pounced on her and wanted to help fight, but seeing that she gritted her teeth, she had gotten rid of the entanglement of the servants and rushed over, shouting: "Fan'er is amazing!" "I was so frightened that my legs and stomach turned and I froze on the ground!

All this was in an instant, Ah Gui saw that she was coming dangerously, and a dodge let her dagger stab straight to her side, and one left hand had tightly grasped her left wrist, and with just one pull, the dagger had been snatched in her right hand. Seeing that Ah Gui had succeeded, several officials on the opposite side of the alley rushed up with a shout, and pressed the clouds to the ground when they landed. A Gui immediately fought on the battlefield, he was a famous brave general, and he did it cleanly and neatly with his bare hands, without dragging the mud and water. Tang Eryun's girl Ding E'er was still in shock, and the lively crowd was already thundering and cheering:

"Good!"

"Don't tie it up." Ah Gui saw a few officials rubbing Duoyun, and put a rope on the flail to lock Duoyun, frowned and said, "Take it to Haifu, I have a place to ask her." Seeing that Lao Huanbing, the prefect of Shuntian Mansion, also came at a trot at this time, he didn't wait for him to ask for peace and ordered: "Drive the lively ones away." You also enter Haifu, ask this cloud first. ”

So a group of people walked into the Hailancha Mansion, and sure enough, the Washe was high and the road turned back, but the patios of each courtyard were not very wide, and they often returned a few folds and a few doors before arriving at the main courtyard. Ding E'er invited Miss A Guitang and Yun to sit in the living room, and the maid girl was busy delivering tea and towels. Tang Er still had palpitations in her heart, and when she saw that Miss Yun's face was also red and white, she said with a smile: "Look at you, you seem to be able to hold on, your hands are not trembling and your feet are not soft, and you are holding tea and water." I'm still pounding in my heart! Ding E'er pursed her mouth and smiled: "I've already made a fuss, and our mouth is like this in Texas, and I was a hostage this time." Yun girl, we are in love, and we will make up for this missing item. I thought to myself, not only was I not afraid, but I rejoiced! ”

"Are you happy to meet this kind of thing?" Ah Gui frowned and smiled, "She went down with a knife, how can I explain to Zhaohui?" Seeing Lao Huanbing's probe at a glance, he said, "You don't have to come over, go over and interrogate her first." Just ask, don't fight. Go ahead! Ding E'er said: "Of course I am happy." This is to eliminate the disaster for the man in front of us, who should have suffered in front of him, and we suffered for him in Beijing; Isn't it a joy to have noble people to help you? Ming'er, I also pulled the cloud girl to the Dajue Temple to thank the Buddha for his blessing! ”

When the two women thought about it, they both felt justified, and they said together: "Yes! Tang'er said: "It's a good thing that they should be receited, we replaced it." I'll go too. I saw it today, and my lord saw it in Jinchuan. Ah Gui listened to the strange talk they discussed, but they all looked solemn and serious, smiled secretly in their hearts, and almost choked out a sip of tea. Listening to their reverent discussions, I couldn't help but sneak a look at my pocket watch.

"You're a busy person, if you have something to say, you can say it first." Tang'er smiled, "What I told you is a big matter, but it's not an urgent matter, so I can take a little time to go to my house and talk to you in detail." ”

Ah Gui said: "Mrs. Sister-in-law is also clever, where is she so busy?" "That's the way he said it, or did he retell Ji Yun's letter and say that he wanted to give Yun Ding and the others an order," ...... But we have to wait until the troops are sent back and the horses are released. This is actually the marriage of the Son of Heaven, and I have only seen it in the play, and there is no precedent in this dynasty! You write a letter again, and send a direct mail to Sichuan from the Ministry of Labor, they have already left Nanjing. He smiled and recited Ding E'er's letter to Tang'er, laughing so much that Tang'er covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed, pointing at E'er and couldn't speak.

Ding E'er was surprised and said, "Isn't this letter badly written? Why is Madame smiling like this? Ah Gui smiled: "Who says it's bad?" Okay! Long live the Lord only has a will after reading the letter...... Whose handiwork? ”

"It's me, I know a few words...... " Miss Yun blushed and said coyly: "She forced me, so I had to write it according to her original words...... 'Dog's mother to Dog's father', I felt that it didn't seem right when I wrote it, but there was nothing wrong, so I recorded it." Tang'er smiled and asked, "Why haven't you dogs seen you?" The name has to be changed. He is now fighting with Fu Heng all the way, according to his position, after the battle, he built a government and opened a mansion, and he is a serious commander of eight hundred! ”

Speaking of dogs, Ding E'er frowned and said: "It's very skinny, I don't listen well to lectures in the school, wolves and dogs lead people down the river to fight water fights, and I come back every day with blue nose and swollen eyes." I can't memorize the book, and I hate it again and again! Ah Gui smiled: "It's the young master, it's time to fight!" Everyone laughed.

"It doesn't matter if I'm here, just to see what you need." Ah Gui laughed for a while and said, "I'm busy, don't be embarrassed, just go to my mansion and tell my wife, or go to the Sixth Master's Mansion." Ding E'er and Miss Yun didn't thank each other, "The chicken, duck and fish meat are constantly paused, and the silk and satin can't be worn, what else do you need?" If people are not satisfied, heaven will punish them, the middle cousin, the sixth master's mansion has already taken care of it......"

Ah Gui nodded and said, "That's good." I see that there are too few envoys, and you can't take care of this house, so I asked the Internal Affairs Office to transfer twenty palace maids from the Xinzheku of the Laundry Bureau, and your family is ten, and the monthly case is still from the Internal Affairs Office. I'll choose two more old ones to come over and wait for a message to pass on the door, and it will be enough. Tang'er said: "What I said is that there must be a slave guarding the door, and there is no such thing as a fangcai, I will send you a few envoys when I go back, I know that you can't afford it for a while, and the monthly case is still from me." When the Navy Gate comes back, you will have money. Ah Gui called Duoyun to come over. Yun'er and E'er wanted to avoid it, and Ah Gui said: "This is not a court question, what are you avoiding?" And they all sat down and listened.

For a while, Lao Huanbing came in with clouds one after the other. Lao Huanbing looked embarrassed and stood aside, but Duoyun was heroic, with slightly wild eyebrows erected, standing tall in the middle of the room, staring at the corner of the room without saying a word.

"Do you know what crime you have committed when you enter a house by day with a knife and take women hostage?" Ah Gui asked: "This is Emperor Jinghua, at the feet of the dignified Son of Heaven, let you spread wild here?" ”

Duoyun smiled contemptuously and said, "That's how the old people are in our place - I'm going to kill them, and the two of them will take that...... What needles, two knives will bear them. Can you drag her out? I brought her out because I wanted everyone in Beijing to come and listen to me. How many yamen did I run from Jinchuan with five hundred taels of gold, please introduce your lord to Emperor Qianlong. The door bag was stuffed with money, and no one came out to see me! These pigs took people's things for granted......" Her voice choked up, and then raised her voice and asked, "Are you Ah Gui?" How much does it cost you to take me to the emperor? ”

Ah Gui couldn't help but be shocked: Saroben's wife voted for many yamen in the mainland, but none of them came up! Holding back the anger in his heart, he said: "I'll ask the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate this matter later." Your gold is not less than a tael! Let me ask you, what are you doing when you see the emperor? ”

"Please ask the emperor to withdraw his troops. Why did we, Jinchuan, the people of Jinchuan, send troops to fight us again and again, on the left and on the right? ”

"You're wrong, listen to me!" A Gui said: "Under the Putian, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's ministers - no matter where, no matter who you are, if you don't listen to the court's orders and divide the territory without authorization, the court will use troops to recruit and suppress!" This is a major event of the superiority and inferiority of the upper and lower levels, and the unification of the law of the country. With you rushing around like this, you can see the emperor? Sha Luoben did not get the will of the imperial court, killed his brother and seized the throne without authorization, took in Ban Luo, eroded Miao Xi, disturbed the post road, repeatedly resisted the heavenly soldiers, refused to surrender in the face, and committed the heinous crime - if you come to see the emperor, will you not be able to stop the army? ! "Saying that, he looked at the clouds and said nothing.

Although he was not very eloquent, his words were impassioned, eloquent, and sharp, and several women could hear it on their bodies, and their hearts trembled. Duoyun couldn't fully understand his words, and asked, "According to you, how can I stop the army?" ”

"It's late." Ah Gui smiled coldly, "At that time, Ban Luo fled to Jinchuan from up and down, and you tied him up and went to Chengdu, not only did he not fight, but he also received a reward; Qingfu crusade, if you don't resist, you can tie up the camp and ask for guilt, but you can protect Jinchuan from being fired; The relatives were re-enlisted, the tribe was surrendered, and they locked themselves into Beijing to ask for the crime, which could avoid the destruction of the nine clans. Now that 100,000 heavenly soldiers are being ordered to levy, you are alone in Beijing, and you want to disturb the heavens? ”

"And what do you think I'm going to do?"

"Go back. I can send someone to take you to the temple. Tell your husband that he was tied up, and that he took his wife and children to Beijing to listen to the crime. Otherwise, when the soldiers enter Jinchuan, it will be difficult for chickens and dogs to stay! ”

"Then I'll have to fight!"

"Hit?" Ah Gui looked up to the sky and laughed, "From Jinchuan to Nanjing, from Nanjing to Beijing, what you see is only a small part of the world." You're a fool, and you should understand what the result is! ”

Duoyun thought about it for a while, and already understood Ah Gui's words. She raised her face, stared at the dark ceiling in despair, and suddenly laughed miserably: "Living Buddha! Who did this wrong? I-" She lunged down at the pillar, and even the floating dirt and ash on the beams on the pillar fell one after another...... The man has fallen limply by the side of the pillar......

"Ahh Ah Gui and Tang Er stood up in shock, both of them surprised. Miss Yun was so weak that she was bluffed! Lao Huanbing also exclaimed, hurriedly squatted down in two steps, tried his snort, stroked his pulse again, checked Xueyin's head, and said: "Gui Zhongtang, she missed, and there is still ...... to save people."

Hearing that there was salvation, Tang'er's heart was slightly relaxed, and she shouted to Lao Huanbing: "What are you stunned about if you are saved?" Ask your person to carry her to the Tai Hospital, just say my words, you must treat each other well! ”

…… The people were carried away, and several people were still in a daze, as if they were having a nightmare. Ah Gui rubbed his hands and paced and groaned, for a long time, and then sighed and said, "What Mrs. Sister-in-law said is true." She is not a thrifty woman, but a fierce woman...... This matter must be known to the emperor - you don't write a letter to tell the sixth master - Shuntianfu sent the prison woman to look at the passport material Duoyun. It doesn't matter if the injury is inflicted, send her to Nanjing, and the emperor will personally send her ......" and gently soothed the two of them for a while, and said with a smile: "It's almost dusk, Taiwan Governor Hu Luoying is waiting for me to meet at the military plane, Kaohsiung County Commander is Ji Xiaolan's protégé, there is a man named Lin Shuangwen, who is making trouble in Taiwan, and he must arrange for the arrest." I've got to go. Doesn't my sister-in-law have something important to say? I will go back to the house for lunch tomorrow, and invite my sister-in-law to come over to talk, and my wife said last time that I haven't seen Mrs. Sixth Master for so long, so I panicked! - Let's go. ”

Ding E'er and Miss Yun sent the three of them out of Guangliang to Xiamen, only to see three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post in the laneway, all of which were sent by Shuntianfu to impose martial law, Ah Gui asked Lao Huanbing: "You called martial law?" This is an accident, Beijing City and Mu Anse, don't do these things, as if you are facing a great enemy, but to start a rumor. ”

"Humble duty is not called such martial law. There is no minister here, and there were people who were not well prepared in the past. From tonight, Shuntianfu will send an additional team of people to patrol, and the two ladies can only rest assured. "Auring Ice Road. He has always been careful in his duties, but he still came up with such a bad thing, and even the murderer was taken down by Ah Gui Zhongtang himself. I didn't know how to punish and reprimand myself, but when I heard Ah Gui say this, I faintly praised the security of the Jingshi, and I couldn't help but feel relieved, and said with a smile: "What the middle hall taught is that this will make them disperse." ”

Before he could turn around, he saw Prince He Hongday with a group of eunuchs, some carrying cages, some carrying bird cages, Ah Gui hurriedly said to Lao Huanbing: "You go back to the government to handle your envoy - the five princes are here, these people are for him to clean the street - the five princes are auspicious, and the servants have asked you to say goodbye!" "Tang'er, E'er, and Yun'er are also busy squatting.

"Don't do this." Hongyang smiled and said to Ah Gui, then turned his face to the three women and raised his hand falsely and said: "Three of you, please get up - don't make a fuss, I can't stand it - I heard the eunuchs and children say that something happened here." I think, when other men go to the front to send troops and release horses, the family is not good at taking care of them, what are we doing? Tang Er saw him holding a girl with an open face in one hand and a quail cage in the other, and said with a smile: "The prince will really enjoy the blessings, come to visit the door to see the guests, and bring it to play!" Hongyang grinned and said: "Thank you Ah Gui, although I am the prince of Beijing, Ah Gui is not picky, I am happy to be at ease." As soon as I saw trouble, and when I saw someone telling me that I was on a mission to ask for an official, my head hurt - these cages were full of rulers, and some silver bills, and she divided them between the two, one and a half. A family of two pairs of bird cages, a pair of parrots and a pair of golden silk birds, send them - Zhaohui's family, Hai's family, just ask your master to stand at the door and talk in the wind like this? And don't let it go into the house - really! ”

Ding E'er and Miss Yun saw Qianlong's younger brother for the first time. At first, I was nervous, but when I saw that he was careless, he was very arrogant, easy-going and funny, and he felt curious, so he was stunned. Ding E'er hurriedly said: "Forgive the slave and maid for being rude." When the slaves and maids saw such a noble figure as the prince at first glance, they knew it in their hearts - the prince please sit inside. ”

"What a prince is not a prince! You don't understand, born in the emperor's family, you are the prince; To be born into a beggar's house is to beg for food. Isn't that the case? Hongyang grinned and said nonchalantly, "You call in, this prince doesn't want to go in." Sixth sister-in-law, those words—what you told me Fujin, did you tell Ah Gui? Tang'er pursed her mouth and smiled, and said: "I wanted to follow the prince's order and go to tell Brother and Sister Agui, but I met here, and I wanted to say that I encountered such a thing again, but I didn't have time!" "Then I'll tell you, don't talk about it anymore—these things, birds, be moved to Lady Hai's mansion, and you go back to the mansion." Hongtian commanded the eunuch, and took out a grain of dried meat from his arms and fed the quail in his hand, "Good girl, eat, don't eat too much, and don't be too hungry and thin, you are really fucking difficult to wait-Ah Gui, get on my sedan chair, let's walk and talk, send you Xihuamen, and I will go back to the palace!" When the people saw him say this, they didn't dare to laugh.

got on Hongday's eight-lift sedan chair, and Ah Gui suddenly felt that his four-lift sedan chair was really cold compared to it. According to the Qing system, no matter how high the rank of civil and military officials is, they can't sit in an eight-carried sedan chair in the important place of Beijing. It is allowed to go out of Beijing to inspect, but the sedan chair is not as comfortable as this sedan chair. Oak wood sedan bar paulownia wood paneling, two seats opposite, enough to sit four people, a small servant can also stand next to the middle sedan table to wait for tea and snacks, the log color car varnish tung oil does not know how many times brushed, as amber touches like jade, both sides are embedded with large glass car windows, hanging bright yellow tassel gold velvet curtains. The seat is also covered with silk soft covers, which are soft and loose like thick mattresses,...... Hongyang smiled: "It's full of novelty, isn't it? Don't talk about you, I have also sat on the emperor's Luanyu, and it is not as comfortable as my sedan chair! Put down the machine, you can sleep with a mosquito net on it! - You can use the snacks on the sedan table as you like, and you don't have to eat anymore when you go back to the military aircraft. Well, this osmanthus cake was freshly made this morning—don't move this plate, it's my ...... to feed the quails," he said, picking up the chicken and soybean dices from the plate and feeding the precious bird in his hand.

"Although the five princes usually ignore government affairs, according to my Ah Gui, none of the elder brothers under the Holy Grandfather's mansion can be better than the five princes who are deeply versed in inaction." Ah Gui was already familiar with it in front of Hongyang, so he unceremoniously picked up the osmanthus cake and ate it, and said with a smile in his mouth, "Fifth Prince, you have the way of life!" The things you don't care about are all things that the minions can do; There is not a single errand you want to take care of seriously that is not related to the fundamentals of the militaristic state, and none of them have been messed up. Doing nothing and doing nothing, this is the true understanding of the foundation of governance! ”

Hongday stroked the quail feathers, and the animal was used by him, and the iron beak and claws shook and cooed. Hongyang smiled: "You are a sycophant, maybe it is your true words." Thousands of wears, sycophants don't wear, anyway, I can listen to it! But I also know that many people call me a ridiculous prince, watch the play and go to the restaurant, let the monkey dress as Xi Shi on stage in the theater garden and play with the plays, get annoyed and fight with people in the teahouse, drink a bowl of tofu brain happily, throw fifty taels of gold and get up and leave. How much silver do you know about this quail? - Eight hundred taels! ”

"Eight hundred taels!" Ah Gui's eyes widened: "That's the annual salary of five first-grade Beijing officials!" ”

"Not bad." Hongli looked at this little trick lovingly, "It's enough to buy five good young girls, buy a house, and help a hundred poor relatives...... I know it's not worth it. Is it worth more than a person? No. But I'm fit! In "Dream of Red Mansions", 'tearing the fan and laughing', Qingwen Baoyu is a bad person? She tears with joy! Last time, Ma Er's nephew came, crying and mourning, saying that he gave Ji Yun a pair of pigeons, worth three hundred taels. This pigeon listens to music and can dance to the beat and flutter its wings. A few days later, I asked Ji Yun, and Ji Yun said, "It tastes the same as other pigeons"! …… Everything is about fate, and if you are reluctant, you will make mistakes. ”

Ah Gui tasted the words of this prince, and felt a little unbelievable, like cynicism, and seemed to contain a truth in it, and for a while he couldn't figure out the true meaning of the words, thinking that Ma Er's nephew was bending his heart to welcome Ji Yun, but Ji Yun was chewing on the dancing pigeon, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Bad scenery, Ji Yun actually burns the piano and cooks the crane!" Hongyang smiled: "This is Ma Er's nephew who doesn't think about things." You are happy to give it, and he is happy to eat it, which is called rejoicing to each other. Is Ji Yun the one who burns the piano and cooks the crane? He is the Minister of Military Aircraft, and he has thousands of eyes in his heart - first, the master must laugh when he knows it; Second, tell everyone that he doesn't eat sycophants - inviting guests to eat calluses is treacherous, not funny, in today's world, there is no one more intelligent and sophisticated than Ji Xiaolan! Ah Gui was specially called by Hongyang to sit in the same sedan chair, and when he heard him say these boundless jokes, he calmed down for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Tang'er's sister-in-law's pigeon is also eaten?" ”

"That's exactly what I'm going to say." Hongtian nodded, looking at the backward street outside in the twilight through the sedan window, staring at the pedestrians on both sides of the street who stopped and bowed to the sedan chair, his face was no longer smiling, and under the dim light, he looked a little melancholy, "I haven't killed it yet, but someone has already made this idea." You know, the queen mother gave birth to two children, the first child died without a name, the second child Yonglian flowers, nine years old, did not live, the third child is only two years old, the eunuchs got a hundred clothes and sent it in, saying that it was for the child to crush the disaster. The wet nurse was not at ease, so she let her child wear it for three days, and she actually got smallpox! ”

…… The sedan chair that walked steadily seemed to be turned upside down, and Ah Gui's face became pale: "This is the hundred clothes worn by the smallpox child, and someone is plotting to kill Ah Ge!" ”

"The queen, the Chen family, and the Nala clan are waiting for Lafayette to drive outside, and the Niu Hulu family is in charge of palace affairs." Hongtian narrowed his eyes, as if he was pondering something, and said with a long sigh: "You know, right? It is the aunt and grandmother of Wei Qingtai's family, the one who gave the name Wei Jia's family. She has been pregnant for eight months, and she helps Niu Hulu take care of palace affairs every day with a big belly. The noble master Niu asked her to inquire, but unexpectedly, the nurse who received the clothes suddenly suffered a stroke, and was so paralyzed that she couldn't move, couldn't speak, and could only roll her eyes. Several eunuchs said that it was Wei Jia's hundred clothes! In this way, she will carry the black cauldron. The noble lord Niu Hulu asked her to be innocent, but she couldn't tell her innocence, she only said that she had seen this hundred clothes, who took it, who gave it to her, and she didn't recognize any of it. The owner of the button turned his face and told me to shut up and torture, and I said, 'No! She is pregnant with the dragon species, maybe she is still an elder brother - besides, the nurse knows best, not the head and tail of Master Wei. She said that she presided over the six houses and had this right. I got annoyed and slapped the table and yelled, 'What are you?' I am sitting in Beijing, I am the prince, and I am the dignified and righteous uncle - if you dare to come nonsense, if something happens to Wei Jia's family, I will dare to call the Department of Punishment of the Internal Affairs Department to take you! ’”

Ah Gui's heart was shaken when he heard this, his two eyes were blazing and staring at Hongday, and he was unconscious that the sedan chair had stopped. Listening to the eunuch outside, he said: "The prince, Zhongtang, have arrived outside the Xihua Gate, please ...... you."

"Fuck off! What Xihua Gate Donghua Gate? Standing far away and watching? Hongtian roared angrily, and then said: "Let's talk in the sedan chair, be careful - I stomped my feet and went back to the palace, just met the sixth sister-in-law and I Fujin muttered, and asked, it was the sixth sister-in-law who entered the palace, Wei cried and wiped her tears and shouted to her, and the owner of the button asked her to move to Shouning Palace-it was a cold palace dedicated to punishing the guilty palace people, and the black-hearted cook was cold and cold...... Fourth brother - the emperor's son is already difficult, if you want to practice another elder brother, how will you and I explain in the future? ”

"Have you moved the palace now?"

"Nope. The internal affairs office is in trouble at both ends, there is your lord inside, and I am outside, and the two ends are on top! ”

"Where is the nurse now?"

"Send it home."

Ah Gui leaned on the soft cushion and closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then opened his eyes and said: "Lord, this is not only a big matter, but also very urgent and tricky - my power is not in charge of the Old Summer Palace. In this way, send a few eunuchs to take care of the nurse first. You wait a little with me and I'll take care of this for you. He suppressed the extreme uneasiness in his heart, lowered his voice and said: "The emperor is not here, and the housework in the palace is all up to the prince!" ”
