The Inner Court issued an edict that Emperor Qianlong was scheduled to set off from Beijing on July 26 and arrive in Nanjing on the 8th day of August. The Ming edict was teleported by an ordinary post station. It was sent to the Yamen of the Governor of Liangjiang on the third day of August. Yin Jishan is "in charge" of the affairs of the Liangjiang Yamen, and Jin is the governor who remains in office. When the imperial edict arrived, the two of them were meeting with the Jingshi stationed in Nanjing, which was subordinate to the Yamen and the three officials of Jiangnan and Zhejiang provinces, as well as the generals above the military guerrilla level, and arranged the palace guards in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Ning, Yang, Haining, Huzhou and other places. Seeing that there was a bright yellow label on the sealed book, the two of them hurriedly stood up. Yin Jishan said: "The discussion is almost over, and the deployment and mobilization will be coordinated by General Hangzhou Suihe." Except for those who originally arranged to listen to the dispatch of Yanqing Zhongtang, they all had to listen to orders. The mobilization and movement of defense should always be carried out at night, and the smaller the momentum, the better. The city's first yamen in the urban area are all plainclothes, and the purpose is to be loose and tight. In addition to the Wangjiang Pavilion Ferry, the government has set up three pine and cypress longevity color workshops, and the rest are not set up. The people voluntarily set up a colorful shed to meet the car. The first thing to greet is to be solemn and solemn, and the second is not to disturb the people. That's it - is there anything else to make up for the gold system? ”

"I'll say two." Jin had already received the vote to be the governor of Liangguang, and he was happy, and said with a straight face with his hands on the case, "The Yamen, the governor of Liangjiang, does not have a real governor now, but the two ministers of military aircraft Yin Yuanchang and Liu Yanqing are sitting here, and I will be responsible before I leave, who dares to neglect his duties and disobey the constitution-" He glanced at everyone, "I have the flag of the king's order in my hand, and I must engage in military law." Second, to help the poor, the local government and county commanders personally came to the door and told the landlords and owners that they were not allowed to take the tenants and quit their jobs. The production of mooncakes for a long life should be stepped up, and all poor beggars should be distributed during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The elderly over the age of 50 should also prepare two bottles of aged wine and two catties of meat as soon as possible, and at least two porridge shacks should be set up in each county to help the poor -- we have to send people to check the facts county by county -- understand?! ”

All the officials present in the conference hall stood up together, and hundreds of people roared in unison in response, "Wow!" They took over one after another, bowed down in order, but walked out solemnly.

Yin Jishan and Jin did not leave the public seat, and dismantled the court edict on the spot. Yin Jishan said with a smile: "The emperor finally got his wish. For several years, they said they were coming, but they only heard the sound of the stairs, but no one came down. Let's go, see Yanqing! Jin Ye smiled and said: "After doing this, I will go back to Guangzhou, you go to Xi'an and then go back to Nanjing, the two of us are brothers and sisters to change positions back and forth!" Saying that, the two of them came out together, but saw Yuan Mei standing at the door of the council hall with two officials carrying a suitcase. Yin Jishan smiled: "What I want has been delivered?" Is it cloud earth? ”

"It was shipped from India." Yuan Mei said with a smile, "I heard that it is several times better than Yuntu, a total of 100 catties - I still have two boxes sealed in my library, if it is not enough, I will send it again if the adults approve the strips." ”

Jin couldn't understand what the two were saying, and opened the box to see something like black and red bricks. Touching it, it was soft and warm, picked up a piece and looked at it, and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Poison!" Yin Jishan's smile was fleeting, and his tone bluffed the object in Jin's hand. Yin Jishan said: "It's called opium, commonly known as hibiscus ointment, and I'm addicted to it, let you wrap your waist around thousands of acres of fertile land, and teach you to be so poor that you can't be inexplicable." Before you go to Guangzhou, we will talk in detail, and we must strictly ban it. Jin smiled: "I've heard of it, haven't you seen it - since it's a poison, what do you want it to do?" Did you suck it too? "I'm not going to suck this thing even if I die." Yin Jishan said: "Gao Heng used it for the Tai Hospital, this game is also a good medicine!" ”

Yuan Mei handed over the envoy and bowed to leave, but Yin Jishan stopped him and asked, "I asked you to visit the entire copy of "The Stone Record" engraved by Wencui Bookstore, have you gone?" Yuan Mei said: "The whole book was sent by Liu Xiaolin, the silver has been paid, and the edition has been engraved." Due to Liu Xiaolin's death, the Book Interview Bureau said that the inner court wanted this book, and the boss was afraid, so he was willing to come out to worship and welcome the driver, and burned the edition. I went to look at the original manuscript and went to see it, and the manuscript was piled up in several rooms, and I really couldn't find out......"

"Burned the ......" Yin Jishan breathed a sigh of relief silently, "Let's visit again slowly-Zicai, the emperor must have spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in Nanjing, you are a knowledgeable Confucian Zhengjun, be cautious, even if you invite you to gather, you also want to dance and promote peace, don't give birth to right and wrong - you go, everything is ready, I invite you to talk about Go Songfanfanfan." ”

Yuan Mei just went, and Goshha came to the door again and said: "Dou Guangnai of the Hanlin Academy is editing and asking to see you." Yin Jishan didn't have a good impression of Dou Guangnai, and said with a smile: "The hard-written iron-headed demon king is here, that is, the twenty-fourth prince persuaded him not to drink, threw away the wine glass and went to that pedant - you ask him to go back first, and I will see him in the signing room in the afternoon." With that, he walked away, and went to the north study of the West Flower Hall with Jin to see Liu Tongxun.

"You guys came just in time, you just received a letter from Sixth Master Fu, and you were about to invite you over to discuss!" Liu Tongxun's face was full of anxiety, sweat was oozing from his head, he lost his usual calm and calm bearing, and was patrolling back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back. ——Such an urgent document was delayed for four days at Qinghe Station! As he spoke, he threw a letter on the desk that had just been unsealed with the fire paint removed.

Yin Jishan and Liu Tongxun have been friends for many years, and when they saw that he was so angry that he was almost angry, he took out the letter in surprise, and hurriedly browsed it a few times, but his face was already gray, his eyes were straight, and he muttered: "Fu Heng will be so reckless?" After thirteen days of dry road, we entered the Jiangnan border no matter what, and we were the officials of the feudal territory, but we were still in the dark! Kim took the letter, and when he looked at it urgently, it was not long:

Yanqing Laozhongtang is like a meeting: After receiving the master's urgent call, the younger brother immediately set off with Ji Yun, Hailancha, Zhaohui and the two concubines of Yihui in the palace, and went south. The master of the itinerary did not tell, and probably went to Shandong first and then arrived in Ningbo by dry road. A Gui stayed in Beijing to preside over the military aircraft. The master is not allowed to inform in advance, and the younger brother takes the master's clothes to change clothes in the eunuch's room and urgently tells him, and please quickly tell Jishanjin to prepare for the drive. Don't be in a hurry, Fu Heng July 24.

The writing was very sloppy, and the later strokes were hairy, and it seemed that it was too late to even dip Fu Heng in ink. Jin also felt that his head slammed to the ground. said in his mouth: "This, this, this white dragon fish suit, there are two women among the six people, Ji Yun is a weak scholar, how to escort him?" More than 2,000 miles of dry roads, if something goes wrong, how to protect it? Isn't that fatal? ”

"Don't panic." Yin Jishan has calmed down. sat down straight, looked at the sun shadow outside the window and said, "This is a habit that the emperor can't change - he has always been like this when he was a brother." Now in the four provinces of Shandong, Anhui, and Jiangnan, there are no large bandits, and it is a peaceful road. The master is naturally wise and sage, and he is not reckless, he must be aware of the customs and feelings of the people, so it is naturally the best. Ah Gui is an extremely smart person, if there is no escort, he will never dare to let his master out of Beijing. The letter was sent on the 20th, but the word "day" was written too hastily, perhaps it was sent on the 24th, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth. Even if it was issued on the 20th, if you travel calmly, you won't be able to get to Nanjing now. If there is any mistake, I expect that we will have a letter a long time ago, because Ah Gui is more anxious than us, and he can't make a stitch or thread of mistakes, he has no court letters, and he must have been in contact with the emperor day and night. In the past ten days, Beijing has not stepped up paperwork for 800 or 600 miles, and they must have used the post horses to contact the emperor. Qinghe Post Station missed the letter, maybe that's the reason - it doesn't matter, the emperor is safe! ”

This analysis is reasonable, and the three of them feel a little relieved. But after all, he broke off contact with Qianlong, and his heart was empty and unsteady. Jin Duancha was just distracted, Liu Tongxun sat down dejectedly, patted his hot head, and sighed: "I also thought about what you said." The ones I was most angry about were Ah Gui and Fu Heng. Is this a serial child's play book? I want to be in Beijing, kneel and die outside the Qianqing Gate and don't get up, see if he is micro-walking? Master, master, you are asking for my life...... Call me Liu Tongxun, where to find you...... Ho ho ......" said in a loud voice. Yin Jishan and Jin saw that he was so in love with the master, thinking that he was tired of life and death in Nanjing, solving the case and arranging a safe driver, and they worked hard to do errands, thinking about their hearts, and they all listened to it sadly.

"Don't be like this, Lord Yanqing, we are sad to see it." Jin's expression was gloomy, and he comforted him, "Calm down, Ah Gui Zhongtang must have a letter for us." ”

Liu Tongxun said with tears in her eyes: "I'm not afraid, I can't hear from my master for a day, don't want to make me peaceful." The two of you have informed Liu Yong to come back in the middle of the night tonight, and I will reassign him as an envoy. I will write a letter to the blind man Wu and tell him to pay attention to the rivers and lakes; A document was issued to the Yamen of Anhui Province, Shandong, all theft cases should be reported, no matter how big or small, and all hotels and shops in Shandong, Anhui, and Liangjiang should be re-registered with insurance. That's all you can think of now, hurry up! ”

He said a word, and Yin Jishanjin agreed. Just as he was about to resign, a curtain sounded, and a middle-aged man in his forties stepped in and asked, "What is the matter, do you want to 'hurry up'?" ”

"Sixth Master Fu!"

The three feudal officials jumped up almost at the same time, their eyes widening, staring at him as if they didn't know him. Liu Tongxun stammered and asked, "What...... Why are you the only one? What about the Lord and the Master? The words did not stop, the curtain rang, Yan Hong Yingying lifted the curtain one by one, and Emperor Qianlong's footsteps were sound, and he appeared in front of everyone, standing facing the north of the façade, and said with a smile: "Okay, the three minions are like ants in a hot pot, and they are discussing the savior!" ”

"God!"

Yin Jishanjin exclaimed in surprise and fell to the ground with a "plop". Liu Tongxun was paralyzed on the easy chair with his buttocks, and his hands were trying to stand up, but his hands were shaking badly. Qianlong hurriedly stepped forward and pressed his hands and said softly: "It's really frightened, you don't have a good face, I'm afraid of heart disease...... Where are the pill bottles? Take it out ......"

Liu Tongxun's right hand trembled, and Suo Suo took out a flat glass bottle from his arms. Qianlong saw that he was shaking violently when he twisted the bottle cap with his hand, took it with one hand, pulled it open, fed a small mouthful, and said, "Use another mouthful...... You old Yanqing...... Alas, well, just lie down like this, and come over in a while! ......" Liu Tongxun burst into tears, and said in a hoarse and trembling voice: "Your Majesty...... What should I say to the minister? Alas......" Yin Jishan and Jin Chang knelt beside them, and they were also like beads.

For a while, Liu Tongxun felt that his heartbeat had slowed down a little, and even though Qianlong ordered him to "lie still", he still struggled to get up and salute on the ground. I saw Ji Yun come in with a big smoking pot in his hand, and said: "The minister went to the porridge shed over there and took a look, the porridge is not thin, but the spoon is a little smaller, which is bigger than the smoke pot of the minister." I drank a bowl, there was no sand, and it was a little musty. The spoon is small, people squeeze, and the spoon is too horizontal, teach him to add a little, the cow egg eyes are so glared, the spoon knocks on the side of the pot and says: 'Do you give birth to the belly of the old sow-you even bring the pot!' Then a servant of the shack came and shouted, 'All lined up, lined up!' **Hair mixed with leeks, messy! The minister respectfully returned. There was a sad feeling in the study, but he was cleaned up by a few words. Yin Jishanjin looked at Ji Yun at this time, wearing a tattered and rolling coarse green cloth robe, oil-stained mud, dirty sleeves like a shaver's knife cloth, unkempt hair, a small melon skin hat like a teapot lid buttoned on his head, and his beard was not scruffy, like a poor and dilapidated household in the countryside. Seeing this description, both of them covered their mouths and smiled, and even Liu Tongxun accepted his sad face.

"Change your outfit - get up and sit!"

Qianlong was in full spirit, wearing a maple leaf and a white background Ning silk Baturu vest with a maple leaf set, a gray poplin robe, a crimson belt, and a black chong mille-feuille bottom round cloth shoes under his feet, a pair of black and disgusted eyes under the crescent moon eyebrows almost did not see the whites of the eyes, and the mustache was slightly sparse, and it was very neatly skimmed on both sides. It's just that it's a little tanned, and it's radiant between looking forward to it. He sat in the center, and Kim busied himself with tea.

After Liu Tongxun recovered his spirits, he leaned over in the chair to speak. Qianlong smiled: "You don't have to say it, I know what you have to say." Ah Gui admonished bitterly, Fu Heng cried and admonished, Ji Yun smiled and admonished, you want to come to Zheng again-the king of ten thousand times, you should not go out of the nine folds lightly, but should hang down your clothes and rule the world-I know that I am wrong, is it still not possible? Anyway, it's now in Nanjing. If you want to admonish hard, I will return to Beijing again, and you will be happy? Cha Jiyun came in with a change of clothes, saluted Qian'er, and said with a smile: "Master, I haven't listened to advice several times, it was in Gyeonggi Zhili, and this time I went all the way, and I still didn't listen to us." You really don't know what you're doing......" He suddenly felt that he had gone too far, and with a twist of inspiration, he said, "-Well, this and this...... Good is great! ”

"If you don't change your mistakes, you can do a great deal!" Qianlong couldn't help laughing, "It's the first time I've heard of it!" Holding the tea, Wu laughed uncontrollably, and Fu Heng and the others also laughed. Qianlong laughed for a while and said, "Yan Qinggong, and the hearts of a few of you, what do I not know?" Before I sent an order to tour the south, there was a saying in it, called 'algae decorate the world'. That is, to see where the wind is going in the house, where the rain is leaking, repair it, and fix the makeup. Let all walks of life be comfortable and settle down peacefully. This is not the same as 'whitewashing the world'. I entered the great unification, the first time I came to the south of the Yangtze River, and I swaggered all the way in the Fa driver, where should the magistrates not whitewash the way seamlessly? When I was a brother, I inspected Shandong, Jining Mansion was obviously so dry that it was only forty years old, and even the people who called Huazi were dressed up in a new dress, and those who fed the pigs could say two sentences of Chinese language lamely, what 'Huang Tong Bai Suo, sharing the world of Shengping, the farmer Ye Lao does not know the worry of hunger'! Fake! For example, in your dining shed, you now use a small wooden spoon to serve rice, and when my law arrives, it will be replaced by a big spoon - dare you say no? ”

Yin Jishanjin was still sitting and listening attentively at first, but when he heard that his back was already like a thorn in the back, he hurriedly stood up and replied: "Yes!" ”

"I'm not for you," Qianlong stretched out his hand and pressed it, motioned for them to sit down, and said with a smile: "I am saying that I can't ride a dragon boat in the law, and I blindly believe that a mountain on both sides of the strait shouts long live." After a little taste of the people's diseases, and then go to the top nine levels, you will be less deceived by some clichés. However, it is really a few nights for the next family to eat and live, some places are good, and some places are not good. One is that there is no banditry, the other is that you can probably fill your stomach, and you can also chat with the begging man, the winter is not good, the food can still be begged, and sometimes you have to be hungry in the spring famine, and there are not many things to starve to death. It is said that the world is easier to mix than before, and I feel a little stable in my heart. However, the Huaibei area passed the flood last year, and too many people fled out, and only women and dogs were left in some villages. So poor that I can't even wear pants. Yin Yuanchang, as the Minister of Military Aircraft, wrote a letter to the governor of Anhui Province and asked: Each person gave 50 catties of grain, but only 15 catties were received, where did the 35 catties go? He was told to quickly gather the refugees and return to his hometown, and prepare firewood, grass, farm tools, livestock, and wheat seeds for autumn sowing. When I returned to Luan, if the barren field village was still flooded and uninhabited, not only would I not be able to do it, but I would also be worried about my family's life! ”

When Yin Jishan saw the point and his name, he had already stood up, and after listening to Qianlong, he hurriedly said: "The slave obeys the order." At present, about 40 percent of those who come to Jiangnan to take advantage of food are from Huaibei, Jiangxi has not this year, Henan has less than 20 percent, Shandong has more than 10 percent, and the rest of the miscellaneous people are indefinite and difficult to calculate, and the total number is often around 100,000. The Lord's will, can you write to the governors of these provinces, and it seems more secure to have Fu Heng, A Gui, Liu Tongxun and the servants jointly send a letter. Huaibei has passed the water, the reeds must grow well, and the reeds of the Yicang and the grain depot in the south of the Yangtze River should also be replaced. How does the Lord see this disposition? Fu Heng also got up and said: "The grain here is already moldy, the official grain is not as good as the Yicang grain, and the Yicang grain is not as good as the grain stored by the big owners, Yin Yuanchang might as well give a little money to persuade the purchase of some new grain, and ask the owners to subscribe to it." Then 100 trillion yuan of official grain was distributed to the disaster departments in the provinces. If there is a price difference loss here, the amount is not large, and the household department can give Jiangnan some subsidies. The grain stocks in Jiangnan have been renewed, and the poor people in various provinces have also been relieved. In this way, the emperor's southern tour added a heavy weight of virtue to the people. ”

"Good." When Qianlong listened, he was already overjoyed. But he is not good at accepting words by nature, and he accepts it when he laughs. said: "When I left Beijing, I summoned Gui Jiyun to discuss, I want to use Gubeikou and Ningxia military depots to relieve the poor and relieve the poor, and then transfer grain from the south of the Yangtze River, so that the court spends more money, but does not disturb the people." You have this general understanding, which is deeply in line with my original intention, and the people in the famine area also have a livelihood - it can be seen that it is a collective wisdom. You go back and discuss it again, Ji Yun drafted it, and used the Ming edict to handle it with the governors of the provinces. Military rations in northern Shaanxi and other places can still be used to provide relief to the poor and the famine and transfer new grain on the spot. What is money? The provincial treasury is full, and the people live in peace, are you afraid that the court will be poor? ”

Ji Yun secretly weighed in his heart, when he was discussing with Ah Gui, he only said "saving the famine", Qianlong had quietly added "helping the poor" at the moment, which was not in line with the original intention, so he had to quickly inform Ah Gui to add it to the will, and said with a smile: "This must be taken care of as soon as possible, because the new grain in Ganshanning will be transferred from Zhili Shanxi and Henan, and it doesn't matter if anything else, it can't be too late to grow grain." The minister is ready tonight, and tomorrow he will use 800 miles to speed up and return to Beijing, can the Lord see it as successful? ”

"The barren and famine magistrates are responsible for the livelihood of the people and the relief of the famine. The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. Liu Tongxun said, "There are many people here who come every year, and they come to their hometowns with or without disasters." They have a slogan: 'The earth is a gold scraper, it is better to beg for a job.' If you want to eat for three years, you won't do it for a county official! 'In some places, it has become a habit to plant in autumn and harvest in summer, and the family will go out to the rich place to beg for food, and the money will be carried back with a bag of cloth, and the hometown will also give them 'relief grain'! Here, in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yang, Hu, and Wuxi Nantong, rogue homeless people form a 'Huazi Gang', pretending to be pitiful and begging during the day, gambling and prostituting at night, and doing all kinds of lawless things. After the case is solved and Yi Ying is captured, the first thing the ministers will do is to destroy this 'Huazi Gang' - some gang leaders have thousands of wives and concubines in their pockets. The minister also has to verify the bad deeds, and make it clear that the decree is punished! Ji Yun smiled: "What Yanqing said is true!" They are 'gathering a crowd to form a gang,' and they can be convicted without having to investigate." Originally, honest people joined this ruffian gang, and many became gangsters, which is not a trivial matter. Some people are pitiful - the little man in the Tangjia Town Hotel in Liuhe County is called Huazi, the master still remembers, right? When asked where he was from, he stretched out his hand, so- I am from Shangqiu...... Grandpa...... Poor and pitiful...... Oh my God! - I said in my heart that you are 'master', and I have become a grandson! ”

Everyone laughed. Qianlong nodded and pointed at Ji Yun and said with a smile: "No wonder you refuse to give alms, I still thought you were too forbearing!" Ji Yun hurriedly bowed down and smiled, and said: "The master is benevolent and merciful, and the minister only has a normal heart, so he doesn't dare to endure it too much, and he can't bear it." Fu Heng was happy when he saw Qianlong, and he laughed and said: "He is an ordinary bodhisattva in front of the Buddha, and sometimes it is not ordinary!" Last time, I said that I wanted to compose poems twice as well as Li Du, and I said you should try to say two sentences. He said, 'Four yellow Pengs sing green willows, two lines of egrets go to the blue sky', and he said, 'The new pine hates not two thousand feet, and the evil bamboo will cut 20,000 poles'! The crowd laughed again.

At that moment, Jin told Qianlong about the restoration of the palace in several places, and said that he would go to Guangzhou. The folk customs of Huayang miscellaneous places are fierce, please cast a few more red-coated cannons, build forts to defend against the sea, and set up the green battalions of the garrisons in various places, which took half an hour. Qianlong listened very attentively, and when Jin finished speaking, he frowned and said: "The affairs of the church have been repeatedly purposed. They foreigners are willing to believe in God and Jesus, and they can listen to it, and the church is for foreigners who come to trade with the Celestial Empire. It is not possible to preach in China, we have Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which is enough. The preachers will be driven out. Chinese believe in foreign religion, that is to rebel against the ancestral religion, take it and flow three thousand li! The matter of opium should also be taken care of, and medicinal use is indispensable. That's a lot! There are a few shellfish in the clan, and they are all smoked if they don't enter the eight points, and I have already sent an edict to the Internal Affairs Office to check out, which princes, princes, and belle beyers are smoking opium? Heavy punishment! ”

Because Qianlong refused to live in the palace, Jin just wanted to move and had already packed his luggage. Several people suggested living in Jin's private house, Jin was naturally full of wishes, Qianlong said with a smile: "Whoever you live in, you will make trouble and uneasy." Living in the governor's yamen, Liu Tongxun is boiling his body, running errands and waiting, you all have official business. I live in Pilu Courtyard, or a few of them follow, according to your weekday system, don't go over to say goodbye, please see me if there is anything, just tell Ji Yun that they are just a word - Yin Yuan Changjin, I haven't had breakfast yet! They must be hungry too. Do your best to make the landlord friendship! ”

"It's past noon, and the master hasn't had breakfast yet!" Yin Jishan was stunned when he heard this, got up and complained to Fu Hengdao: "You should have said it as soon as you came-we were stunned at first, and then we fainted with joy, so we didn't ask!" Busy got up to make arrangements, Qianlong smiled: "We are not hungry people, you are so panicked." Take a sip, and we'll go—you can't afford to have anything to do with my coming to Nanjing. Yin Jishan hurriedly bowed down and smiled, and said: "The slave will take care of it, the master can rest assured!" In this case, the young man's room was originally prepared for the slave, and the master used it; The minions ate the master's meal, and the master went to the big room to eat. Everyone laughed, and Yin Jishan withdrew to make arrangements.

Qianlong only left Liu Tongxun to accompany him to dinner. Yin Jishan, Fu Heng, Jin Zhaohui, Ji Yun and the five people ate in the flower hall in front, and discussed how to deploy around the Pilu Monastery while eating-everyone in the temple went to get the incense, and the emperor only lived separately as a pilgrim, and the guards must not be relaxed, and they must not bring the slightest "publicity". Yin Jishan and all of Jin's personal soldiers and horses were added to one place, and there were more than 1,000 people. Jin Yujue felt that the people were not enough, and Yin Jishan said: "There are still 2,000 people in the northeast treasury of Pilu Yuan, the weaving treasurer, and the barracks guarding the treasury. It's just that there are fewer guards around the emperor, and he can't cope with the sudden changes in elbows and armpits. But when a man brings too much, he is no longer like a pilgrim. ”

"No way." Fu Heng chewed the steamed bun in his mouth, looked at the geographical situation map intently, and said to Zhaohui: "After you finish eating, go and change to Hailan Chalai - Wu Blind and Duanmu Liangyong are all following, they are all the top players in the world, and there are *** few guards, the two noble masters are also extraordinary, and the master has his own skills, and ordinary thirty or fifty people can't get close." There are several layers of light and darkness! That's the arrangement, Ji Yun and I will live in the domain, and we can contact each other diligently. We're not in a dangerous city, it's not good to be too open. It's just that the Pilu Courtyard is too dilapidated, and I'm afraid that I will wronged the master. Yin Jishan said with a smile: "It was rebuilt a year ago, and the abbot is the first senior monk in Nanjing." Fakong monk, with high morality and proficient in Buddhist scriptures, can accompany the master to talk about Zen teachings, and can also prevent the left demon law from hurting the master. Cha Hailancha came in after being laid off, Ji Yun smiled and patted the stool, "Sit here, hurry up and eat." I've got something good for you! ”

Hylancha picked up a piece of beef and filled his mouth. He is a lively person by nature, and he has gotten along with Fu Heng and others "Lao Fu" and "Lao Ji". Then Yin Jishan's words said: "Where is there any left and right way? The production was careful. There are ghosts and gods in the world, ask me and Zhaohui, kill people, corpses are piled up like mountains, Zhaohui and I also go to find ghosts,! Except for the ghost fire, I haven't seen any birds and ghosts! ”

"Zhaohui is such a serious and dignified person, and he still follows you to do this?" Ji Yun wiped the grease stains on his mouth with a handkerchief, took out two sets of books from under the seat and handed them to Hailancha, while asking, "What are you doing looking for ghosts?" Looking for a male ghost or a female ghost? Hailancha snorted and ate, flipped through the book, frowned, and said: "This is Shen Yue's poetry, I only know how to go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife, why do you want this thing - both male and female ghosts are searching, and it is rare to find a man, if it is a woman, let a ghost woman sleep." ”

Fu Heng was still looking at the map, and when he heard it, he smiled and asked, "Are there more female ghosts?" ”

"The more the merrier, we are Han Xin's soldiers!"

"What if it's a big crowd?"

"I have a large group of soldiers too!"

The crowd burst into laughter. Ji Yun laughed so hard that his beard trembled, and said: "The soldiers and ghosts match, I don't have so much money to buy Shiyun to give - one set for you, one set for Zhaohui, take it to study - count it as my wedding gift for your two ghost couples!" Jin smiled and said: "Ya is very good, the son of Yu Gui is the four major rhymes!" ”

"You must never think about this Ji Dayan pot in a graceful place!" Fu Heng pinched the map in one hand, pointed to the book with the other and said with a smile: "Just think about the vulgar, the more vulgar the more right!" Ji Yun slapped his knees and said: "Yuan Chang has seen through it, so I'll say it directly, it's really the four major rhymes of the newlyweds - don't you want to 'go up and enter'?" Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this, but when they were about to discuss the matter, they saw Liu Tongxun walking in with Zhaohui, so they all stopped laughing and stood up.

"From now on, I'll take care of the escort." Liu Tongxun's face was solemn, and he stood at the door and said, "Fu Heng and Hailan Cha Zhaohui will leave for Sichuan tomorrow to reorganize the army." Le Min has received the order in Hanyang, you will stop in Hanyang for three days, and then go to Chengdu to camp - this is the will! ”

Fu Heng and the other three people knelt down in unison, and said loudly: "Meow-the minions obey the order!" Liu Tongxun raised his hand and ordered them to get up, but he changed his smile and said: "The lord has just eaten, and he said that he wants to meet you, I advise the emperor to rest for a while, and then call him over." Fu Heng told Liu Tongxun about the details of the discussion, and said: "From now on, you are responsible for the master." It was said that he would go to reorganize the army after the Mid-Autumn Festival, why did he suddenly change? ”

"The chaos is too unspeakable—Le Min and Yue Zhongqi both handed over folds. The emperor's meal was not easy to use, and the chopsticks were dropped. Liu Tongxun sat on a chair by the window at random, and said to Zhaohui and Hailancha: "I said that I will give you three months off after the southern tour, and you will get married in Nanjing, and you will have a good life to go around." I suggested that you go to Chengdu with the sixth master to reorganize the army, shouldn't you resent Lao Liu Tou for being unreasonable? Zhaohui said: "The eldest husband can't abolish state affairs with personal feelings, I still have this knowledge." Hailancha also said: "Follow the sixth master to win the battle!" I got out of this breath in Jinchuan first, and why is it too late to come back and get married? Liu Tongxun nodded and said: "The rebels have become no king bees, Kangding and Ba'an two mansions, robbing merchants, raping and plundering women from good families, the county order can't be restrained, and they fled to the mansion." The cattle sheds of the people in the countryside were demolished and roasted beef was eaten. The province also mixed in hundreds of routs, robbed the merchant silver shop pawnshop, and Jin Hui ordered the 3,000 green battalion to enter the city before it was suppressed. There are also scattered rout soldiers on the Qinghai side, no one cares and no one asks, and the yaks that rob the Tibetans are slaughtered and eaten. This herd of animals has no humanity, and it is worse than bandits! ”

Fu Heng has a direct subordinate relationship with Hailan Cha Zhaohui at this moment, so he refuses to smile. Standing on the windowsill and looking out, he muttered: "Jinchuan is cold and cold, I'm afraid there will be frost weather now...... Yuan Chang, borrow 200,000 silver, I want to buy bricks in Sichuan, and every military tent must be covered with fire cages, otherwise, I will suffer frostbite and reduce the number of soldiers......"

"Why borrow this? Zhaohui's five hundred taels of gold was originally military expenses, and Hailancha's silver ticket has also been opened, and the Nanjing ticket number can be withdrawn. There is not much that is missing, and you take it away from the domain treasury, and here the domain division and the military department will cancel it, won't it be over? Yin Jishanyong had a calm and unhurried smile, shook the bamboo fan and said slowly: "After the Chongyang Festival in September, I will also go to Xi'an, in fact, I still assist you as the coach, and you have even 'borrowed' people, let alone silver." Everyone fought hard together and captured Salobun, well, this, this...... Save our red-robed and double-speared general from going to the wild grave to think about it, and we want to 'go up and enter'......" Everyone laughed. Fu Hengyin saw the real Mongolian guards coming over, so he said to Zhaohai and the others: "Let's go." ”

Qianlong took a nap in the afternoon, and after getting up, he was in very good spirits, only wearing a jade-colored Ning silk robe, and his belt was not tied, he took out a copy of "Zizhi Tongjian" from the bookshelf and flipped through it at will, and when he saw the three of him coming in, he didn't raise his head, waved his hand and said: "Complimentary seats!" Then he continued to read.

"Yes......"

The three of them saluted lightly, sat on a chair and looked at Qianlong. Qianlong stared at the book for a long time, raised his head with a sigh, and said: "It's still Ji Yun's knowledgeable and strong memory, and he even remembers the number of pages in the book!" - Do you know what a 'crowned dog' is? ”

"The minions don't know." Zhaohui sat upright and pressed his knees, his face was slightly ashamed, and said: "The slave only knows a few words, he has read the "Three Character Classic" and read the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and asked the master to talk about "Sun Tzu". Such a book minion can't read it. Hailancha said: "The slave knows." The 'crown dog' is a dog with a hat, and the common people have scolded the officials and customs, and they have become 'dog officials' - I don't know if it's right. ”

Fu Heng pondered and shook his head, Qianlong had already thrown the book and smiled, and said: "Hailancha is as the name suggests!" You're being smart, not being knowledgeable. Fu Heng, what about you? Fu Heng had already remembered it at this time, but it was inconvenient to say it too clearly. Because of the said: "It seems to be in the twenty-fourth volume of "Zizhi Tongjian", which is about Liu He, the king of Changyi in the Western Han Dynasty, and it seems that there is a goblin called Guangou, with a dog's head on his body, and something else...... Minions can't remember. ”

"It's not the story that matters." Qianlong said, "It was the king of Changyi who saw this monster and asked Gong Sui what the murderer was, and Gong Sui's reply was intriguing: 'This heavenly ring.'" Those who say that they are on the side are all crowned dogs, and if they go, they will survive, and if they don't go, they will die. '......' Tiancheng King, I am afraid that the palace room will be empty, and the elephant will die! ’”

The three of them couldn't help but look at each other. They were in a belly of "the whole army", planning to dominate the situation in Jinchuan, killing Sha Luoben and turning over on his back alone, thinking that Qianlong must have some admonition and admonition, and there should also be arrangements for military and political security. Fu Heng guessed Qianlong's thoughts, but he talked with Qianlong day and night in recent years, and this master is getting deeper and deeper. His knowledge is also becoming more and more broad, and if he thinks about it, the more he thinks about it, the more outrageous it becomes. Because of his own negative thoughts, he suddenly fell into the chair for a while, and said: "The lord of the king of Changyi, it is not surprising to see strange and illusory. Now the saint Yao Shun is on the sky, there is no change in the power struggle of the Xiao Wall, there is no danger of entering the country outside, and the national strength is strong, which is incomparable since Qin Shi Huang. There is no doubt that the corruption of officials is undoubted, and it is also a chronic disease that has accompanied the prosperity of the past dynasties. The Lord doesn't have to worry too much, but he is shocked and slowly straightened out, and it will naturally get better. ”

"What do you think, two generals?" Qianlong's expression was no longer melancholy, nodded, and asked Zhaohui and Hailancha again. Zhaohui said honestly: "I was surprised in my heart: although I don't know history, the old people say that now the holy rule is better than the holy grandfather, the world is clear and clear, the Lord is waiting all the way over, out of Beijing safely, safely into Nanjing, not even a shadow of a thief, why suddenly said 'crown dog', it sounds crazy." "The minions don't even understand." Hailancha said seriously: "There are many dog officials in the world - there are many crowned dogs, which is not false at all. According to the minion's thoughts, it's just the words 'that's it'. Isn't the master now rectifying the rule of officials? Catch those big-crowned dogs, the character who can't be provoked is knocked down, cut off his head, and call it that ......" He scratched his scalp and couldn't think of words, Zhaohui whispered a word on the side, and Hailancha said: "Yes! That's called the Hanging National Gate - not the Military Gate - to make an example. See which straight lady thief dares to be a crown dog? ”

Qianlong was full of worries, and was amused by him to laugh, and his spirit suddenly became much refreshed, because he sighed: "I think about it carefully, why can't the crown dog be understood as a 'dog official'?" "The moon is faint and the wind, the foundation is moist and rainy", "observe the fall of a leaf and know that autumn is coming, the shade under the court and know the sun and the moon, the change of yin and yang". must be in turmoil, like the king of Changyi, full of blood for no reason, and he doesn't know how to change when he repairs? Something abnormal is a demon. For example, disaster relief, there have always been people who have taken the risk of relief, how can there be such a thing now, and only three or four percent of the grain in the hands of the people has actually arrived? Whether it is the customs, the river governor, the cao governor, the salt service, or the money and grain of the criminal name, the silver will rub off a layer of skin, which is sharper than clipping. Such greed, how is it not alarming! ”

He bent his finger and said, "Yin Jishan doesn't care." Jin Caili is a little inferior, but he is also a top talent. Just such a Jiangnan province has rotten more than 200 officials. Scrapped and replaced with a new one, saying that the magistrate must use a scholar, and not fill the vacancy in the form of a pen post - what is the result? He glanced at the three men. Zhaohui Fu Heng only listened intently. Cha Hailancha looked at him, couldn't stand Qianlong's gaze, bowed down and said, "As far as the slave heard, it seems to be slightly better?" ”

"Better?" Qianlong snorted, "No improvement!" Today, when I recognize the same year, Ming'er is looking for a family, so I will fly and dog again, scrape the silver together, and roll to the ** nest of the Qinhuai River with my aunt! Yin Jishan returned to Nanjing, and on the first night, he arrested 36 officials of more than nine grades, and some of them even took their concubines to take over the brothels, and they prostituted themselves all day and night. All kinds of ugly things have been done. How can such a despicable and lowly person not be shocking? ”

He bent another finger.
