Fu Heng said on the horse, and told Liu Tongxun one by one about the deception of the defeat and the invitation to merit, as if he had witnessed it himself. Hearing this, Liu Tongxun's heart was anxious for a while. In May, the poisonous sun of Duanyang illuminated the earth at noon, and the heat was steaming, and it was even more difficult to feel hot and dry. By the time they arrived at the head of Xihua Gate, both of them were already soaking wet from their fronts and backs. All the way into the interior, ordered the eunuch to ask Qianlong to meet him, Liu Tongxun was still suspicious, and said: "It sounds reasonable." Too alarmist, right? Our army still occupies Songgang and Xiazhai! ”

"The base camp is gone," Fu Heng stood under the shade of the stone lion, carefully combed his sweaty braids, and said with a wry smile: "The Shujing Temple is the most important place for transporting grain to the army. If you are not a three-year-old child, how dare you abandon it easily? ”

…………

Just look at the paper and ink on which he wrote the folds. Is there a need for this kind of bookkeeping hemp paper and stinky ink to write a report excerpt? ”

"You mean ......"

"I said that they were defeated in a mess, and they fled to Songgang in a hurry, and they didn't even bring their notebooks!"

Liu Tongxun thought about the tragic scene of the defeat of the official army and the trapping of Songgang, and thought about Qianlong's mood of deposing the officials of 12 prefectures and counties in Huguang in order to raise food and salaries...... Thinking about it, his heart also shrank, paused a few times, and jumped as if he was about to make a statement, he hurriedly took out the medicinal wine from his arms, and took a big sip of the bottle, and saw Bu Zhi trotting all the way over, panting and saluting, and said with a smile: "The two masters came just in time!" The master is in the Zhongcui Palace, where the master is the mother! Fengtai Garden Zigong came to Pan Tao, such a big one, the red tip was fresh with green leaves-" he swallowed, "-Niang Niang said that Liu Tongxun was on duty, called in to reward it, long live the lord said, just like that, call Fu Heng to come too--Ke Ke'er, you two will hand over the sign and ask to meet...... "Fu Heng didn't wait for him to nag down any further, and as soon as he gave way to Liu Tongxun, the two of them entered Yongxiang together. In front of the hanging flower gate of Zhongcui Palace, Qin Meimei, the eunuch in charge of the palace of the Queen Fucha clan, took him in.

It's a lively place again. The queen of the north room is sleeping in a long row, and there are concubines Niu Hulu, Nala, Concubine Wang, Chen, Wyeth, Yanhong, Yingying, etc., and several concubines also have their own positions. The rest of the promised and often in a low-class concubine more than a dozen people, all dressed neatly, waiting for the head of the flower pot shoes under the porch, but there was no seat. There is a seat in the middle, an easy chair in the middle, and an old man with pale sideburns and a kind posture is the current Queen Mother "Lafayette". On the east side of the Queen Mother sat the Empress Fucha, and on the west side of the Qianlong Emperor, but did not sit, it turned out that he was playing the drum and passing the flowers, and Qianlong lost and was punished for singing. Seeing the two of them come in to salute, Qianlong waved his hand to get up, and said with a smile: "Lafayette, Fu Heng and Liu Tongxun have come in, and my son can't sing, spare me, how about a glass of wine?" ”

"You are the emperor, and you can't be punished." The Queen Mother smiled: "But this is your own system, and the world and law are equal!" If you can't sing it, I'll listen to a joke, it's also your filial piety. ”

"Okay, my son will be ugly." Qianlong raised his face and thought for a while, "During the pre-Ming Dynasty, there was a little eunuch who had a new use and was ordered to go out to procure it. He was not well-known in other provinces, and the officials did not come to pay homage, so he wrote a poem before returning to Beijing. Well—that's how it is written—" He paused and read:

The earth shakes the mountains and comes by decree,

The civil and military officials ignore us.

Someday I will go back to Beijing,

It is a small world!

The Queen Mother listened and asked, "What kind of poem is this?" "Yes," Qianlong said, "when I returned to Beijing, some people flattered me and said, 'What a poem!'" He humbly said, "It's not too good—it's just Ye Yun!" Liu Tongxun and Fu Henghu stood under the east corridor, listening to Qianlong's jokes, at first, the more they thought about it, the more they couldn't bear it, they both shrank their necks and laughed and trembled. The rest of the concubines, some of them laughed uncontrollably, and some of them couldn't chew the taste, so they laughed with them. The Queen Mother said: "I'm old, I'm too lazy to think about it, this joke is too deep, let's talk about it again!" ”

"Yes!" Qianlong smiled and said, "Say three living dead, Zhang San, Li Siwang and Ermazi-" The Queen Mother laughed and said, "I'm just tired of listening to this!" Qianlong hurriedly raised his glass with both hands, "This is the son's piety, and the mother takes a sip!" ”

The Queen Mother took a sip, pointed at Fu Heng and Liu Tongxun and said: "Don't ask them to stand still, two peaches per person, take some snacks and fruits, and talk and do things after a while!" The palace maid Lai Niang, who was standing behind the Fucha clan, hurriedly agreed and instructed Zhang Luo, the eunuch of Xiao Sula.

—Three living dead people live in the shop. Zhang San felt that his legs were itchy, so he scratched them desperately, scratching the bloody nails, and still couldn't solve the itch...... "Qianlong continued, "I scratched until dawn, and I saw that it was not my own leg that was scratched, Li Si's leg was scratched bloody, and he was still sleeping......" Before he finished speaking, the Queen Mother had already leaned forward and backwards with laughter, scattered melon seeds on the ground in her hand, coughed and asked, "What about Wang Ermazi?" Qianlong said: "Wang Er Mazi could hold his urine in the middle of the night to relieve his hands, but it rained that night, and the eaves were dripping, so he thought he hadn't finished urinating, and stood until dawn......

Everyone was in a hurry, and they all laughed crookedly, Fu Heng was worried about something, and laughed for a while, peeking at Liu Tongxun, and Liu Tongxun's eyes also flashed, only a pair of eyes, and they understood each other that Fu Heng was recommended by Lai Niang from his own house, and now he is the most useful in Zhongcui Palace, so he smiled and gave Lai Niang a look. was seen by the Queen Mother at a glance, pointed at Fu Heng and smiled: "What are you two muttering, and you are frowning?" Punish jokes, one at a time—and get down to business with your master! Qianlong said with a smile: "Tongxun is our Bao Xiaosu of the Qing Dynasty, it's too difficult for him to tell jokes, it's better to punish him for eating two peaches." You see, don't you reward him with something and bite it in little by little? - Fu Heng said one! ”

Qianlong said that, settled down and sat down, seeing that although Liu Tongxun ate a little faster, he still refused to open his mouth presumptuously, wanted to say something, and swallowed it back. Lai Niang handed over the tea, and whispered in Qianlong's ear: "Long live the lord, the two adults seem to have something important, the master Niangniang said that the slave knows......" At this moment, the weather is hot, Lai Niang is wearing a tulle single gown, her body is fragrant like musk, and she speaks like an orchid, Qianlong can't help but feel a wave in his heart, cough to calm down, and listen to Fu Heng laugh.

"Minions aren't good at telling jokes. Today, the master of Lafayette is happy, and he deserves to be happy. Fu Heng said with a smile: "Kangxi Dynasty is actually afraid of his wife-" Seeing that everyone was laughing, he paused and said, "He is on duty in the south study, and he has to go in to see Kangxi every day." When I woke up at noon on this day, I don't know why the two of them made a mistake, and Mrs. made the feather duster desperate for Xiang Guoye, so he got under the bed. The lady leaned over and asked:

"'You son of a bitch, you can't come out!'

"'Old,' said Suo Xiang, 'Manly man, if you can't say it, you won't come out!'

"'You come out!'

"'I'm not coming out!'

"The inner court was still waiting for Suo Xiang to go to the council, and before the end of the day, he didn't see him coming, Gao Shiqi knew that he had an 'accident' at home again, and ordered someone to call, 'I have to go to see the master!' The man rode to Suofu, and when he saw that his family members were covering their mouths and laughing, he shouted through the window, 'Suo Xiang, don't miss the master!' ’”

When Fu Heng said this, the people in the courtyard were already laughing and bowing their backs, and the Queen Mother covered her chest and asked, "Does he dare to come out?" ”

"As he spoke, Suo's figure has come out." Fu Heng said solemnly, "All of them are gray...... Tapping under the dripping eaves, stalking his neck all the way down the stairs, he said hatefully: 'Huh! Hustle? There is a long live lord for me, who am I afraid of?! ’”

In the midst of everyone's laughter, Qianlong got up and took Fu Heng and Liu Tongxun out of Zhongcui Palace. Qianlong stood in front of the door of the hanging flowers, his eyebrows were pressed low, and his eyes adapted to Yongxiang, which was dazzling by the sun. With the fluctuating thoughts in my heart, I felt annoyed for a while: for a whole winter, Shandong, Shanxi, and Zhili north of the Yangtze River hardly had a single rain or heavy snowfall, and many places were so dry that there was no grass. Since the beginning of spring, the yellow water has flooded, and the eastern part of Henan to the Huainan and Huaibei has collapsed, and it has been washed into a mess, and the Wuhu area has become a Ze country, and even the Yamen of the Hecao Supervision Office of the Qingjiang River has been soaked in the water. It snowed heavily in Ganshan and Shaanxi, but the harvest was bad in autumn, and the poor people who had no food at home were waiting to be fed. Hungry people from all directions left their hometowns to help the old and the young, and poured into Huguang and Jiangnan to take advantage of food, which made the governor of Liangjiang, Jin, and the governor of Huguang, Ha Panlong, complain for three days. He sent the head of the household department to go to the south of the Yangtze River to provide relief, and said that the plague had spread in northern Jiangsu and Nanjing, and that in some places the righteous warehouses were in vain, that there was no silver, food, or medicine, that hungry people were gathering and that the cult was spreading the word by taking advantage of the situation, and that "there will be something unspeakable." Therefore, Qianlong worshiped the Temple of Heaven to pray for the New Year, and when he returned to the palace, he invited the Queen Mother to go to the Buddha Hall of Zhongcui Palace to rejoice, which was originally the meaning of evacuation and evacuation. Beating the drum and passing the flowers, it is also for a "decontamination" heart......

"Hooray!" The accompanying guards guarding in front of the Hanging Flower Gate saw that Qianlong was distracted, and bowed down and said, "The sun outside is poisonous!" Body bones - it matters! ”

It was Qianlong Qiu Mulan, a Mongolian guilty slave who was exchanged for a piece of Qixiu amber to King Korqin, honest, brave, sincere and loyal, changed from a horse maid to a third-class guard, and then to a second-class, not yet twenty years old. He can't speak Chinese well, and it's hard to say these two sentences with difficulty and stiffness. Qianlong couldn't help but smile and said, "Is the sun 'poisonous'?" Go to Chengqian Palace, it's 'cool'! - Let the king of the Heart Nourishing Palace be ashamed to send a big coat, and it is time for me to change my clothes. "Say that it is not called to take the public opinion, the path from the lower steps, along the Yongxiang to the north, around the Kunning Palace to the east, the first hall in the south of the road facing the north, is the Chengqian Palace.

This is already the "East Palace", and the emperors of all dynasties are not easy to meet ministers here, but after seven years of Qianlong, it is often used in summer and autumn. Liu Tongxun is still the first time to come, and he feels quite fresh. I don't know why I chose this place to summon and speak. Fu Heng knew why, it turned out that there was an indissolvable complex of Qianlong in this palace, and the two concubines who had moved into the palace from the Old Summer Palace not long ago lived - Yanhong and Yingying...... Fu Heng thought about it, smiled secretly, raised his face again, pretended not to think about anything, and followed Qianlong's steps.

This palace is really cool, because sitting in the south and facing north, the sun and hot wind can't penetrate in, the palace in the north is very low, and it is adjacent to the imperial garden, and the cool breeze with humidity on the side of the Forbidden City Beihaizi opens in, and rushes into the face. Coming in from the scorching sun, several people were refreshed. Yan Hong and Ying Ying both went to the Empress Dowager of Zhong Cui Palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids who stayed in the palace saw them coming in and knelt down with a "sigh".

"Get up and wait." Qianlong waved his hand and ordered, "Move seats for you Fu Liuye and Lord Yanqing, pour tea—you can sit down." ”

The two of them sat diagonally on the chairs, and they didn't dare to eat the tea. They all often played the right face to face, but the chair they sat on today was as high as Qianlong, and they felt a little apprehensive in their hearts, and they all lowered their waists slightly. Just thinking about how to speak, Qianlong smiled in a sullen voice and said: "The entrance is not to ask about Rong and Ku, but when I see my face, I know that after the Lantern Festival, there is no good news except for the excerpts played by Yin Jishan in Guangzhou. I'm used to it, listening to the filth. You're just talking. ”

"This excerpt was played by Ne Qin and Zhang Guangsi, but it is a great victory for our army." Fu Heng held the folded book to Qianlong with both hands, and said in a deep voice, "Please take a look at it first, and the minions want to play it carefully." ”

"Hmm—write folds on paper like this?" Qianlong took the folded book and said. But this sentence, he didn't say anything more, and looked carefully at the folded book that was sprinkled with thousands of words.

Liu Tongxun had never sat so close to Qianlong, and at this moment he gradually settled down, peeking at Qianlong, only to see that he was wearing a blue zhi ground gauze robe, wearing a stone blue straight yarn embroidered foreign gold dragon gown, the barrel of incense on the neck was moist and moist, reflecting the light outside the window, a pair of feet pedaling green satin cool soap boots, curled up between the legs of the chair, the whole body pressed on the elbow and lay motionless on the table, frowning and staring at the fold with all his eyes, a carefully combed braid was put under the neck for half a circle, and hung down from the back of the neck. People who are not confused over the years still look so beautiful, there are no wrinkles on the face like a crown jade, and they look very energetic when they sit and walk. If it weren't for the thick mustache on his lips, as well as a few slightly upturned eyebrows on his eyebrows, in a different place, who would be a heroic young man less than thirty years old. Liu Tongxun couldn't help but secretly think to himself, this master has to read seventy or eighty thousand words every day, and he also has to meet with the minister, ride and shoot Buku correctly, and chant poems and chess books to entertain himself, how can he play so well? I thought of the group of gorgeous concubines I had just seen, which one was not the axe of cutting...... Just thinking about it, Qianlong had finished reading the excerpt and asked:

"Liu Tongxun, what are you doing in a daze?"

"Ahh Yes...... Master! Liu Tongxun hurriedly took his thoughts from what he shouldn't think to where he should think, and said with a smile: "The slave is distracted, look at the master's good body and bones, and think about his own good fortune......"

Qianlong nodded, looked up at the caisson on the top of the hall, seemed to be thinking about something, and asked casually: "Your son has won the Jinshi this year, how many are you?" ”

"If you go back to long live, you will be the twenty-fourth in the second class."

"Your name is Liu Yong?"

"Yes!"

"Is it the one who is a big black man who speaks with an urn?"

Liu Tongxun glanced at Fu Heng with a blank face a little confused, he didn't know the twist and turn of Qianlong's departure from Jinchuan, and suddenly asked what was the purpose of this digression, and replied in a daze: "That's the dog, how dare you ask the Labor Saint!" ”

"I'm short of talents!" Qianlong sighed, took a long breath from his heart, and his tone became hoarse and gloomy, "-Wen's martial arts are all lacking!" He put his hands on the chair handles, slowly stood up, paced around the hall leisurely twice, and then turned around and asked, "Fu Lao Liu, huh?" Isn't that so? ”

Fu Hengzheng looked at him with his eyes wide open, and was caught off guard by this question, and his body trembled: he knew that Qianlong had already read and "understood" this fake good news, because he bowed from his seat, and was about to answer, when he saw Qianlong clasping his hand, he hurriedly returned to his seat and said: "If you go back to Long Live Lord, the world is so big, and there are generations of talents." The lack of talents in the imperial court is the responsibility of the auxiliary ministers. Now Wen Tian is martial, the greed is getting hotter, and the officials are not appeased, all because the slaves are ineffective, the lord is sage, and the ministers are hard to blame! ”

"Don't say that, one person is an account." Qianlong sighed and said leisurely, "But what you say is also the proper meaning of the question." For a long time, the king is prone to arrogance, and the courtiers are prone to laziness. Wen Tianwu, that's a good thing! - But I never thought that the situation would stop there? The current river workers have more than four times more silver than when they were the Holy Ancestors, and they still cry poor every day, and the river still bursts and silts up! Layer by layer of officials, each according to their duties, divide the silver, cut the court, scrape the people to fatten themselves! Coax up layer by layer! The text is like this, and the martial arts are becoming more and more useless, afraid of death, love money, defeat the battle, and bully the king after losing the battle! He nodded weakly with his fingers, "You must have seen the strangeness of this thing, my dear, he became the second Qingfu, and even the folded book used to write the excerpt was left in the Shujing Temple, so that Sha Luo Ben used it to go to the toilet!" He suddenly blushed, grabbed the fold and tore it to pieces, and slammed the case and shouted: "These two bastards - misguided country - bastards!" ”

Fu Heng and Liu Tongxun bounced up from their chairs almost at the same time and fell to the ground. Several eunuchs were so frightened that their faces turned white, and they crawled to kneel in front of the case to clean up the scraps of paper, and were kicked down by Qianlong, shouting: "Get out!" Who told you to be courteous?! Fu Heng saw that Qianlong was trembling with anger, and he knelt forward and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Your Majesty, rest...... Thunder's Fury...... Listen to the slave slave play...... "He gasped for a moment, and his speech became smoother, "Now it's still a guess to talk about the wreckage of the family." The slave vouched for his life, and his relatives would never dare to follow the path of Qingfu and make a peace agreement with Sha Luoben. What's more, Songgang is still in my hands, and Xiazhai is also an extremely important military rush. If there was no room for further war, Ne Qin and Zhang Guangsi would not dare to write such an excerpt...... You'd rather be patient, wait. The minions expected that there would be excerpts in the near future, and only then would they know the live situation on the front line......"

"Jin Hui?" Qianlong sneered, and said with a suppressed breath, "He is proud of his relatives." In the twelfth year, he was promoted from the county order to the feudal official. This is the time for him to repay his kindness, dare not help the teacher to coax me? ”

Liu Tongxun also took a step forward, kowtowed, and said, "The minister thinks that if his relatives are defeated out of control, Jin Hui may not dare to hide it for him." If there is still hope of victory, the court does not have to care about the sorrow of a small defeat. There was a celebration of the restoration in the past, which has caused a sensation in the government and the opposition, and the dignity of the court is important......"

Qianlong, who was furious, calmed down, took out a Xiangfei bamboo paper fan from his sleeve, and slowly shook it back to the chair. Qianlong thought that as soon as he ascended the throne, he made a grand vow to the heavens, "take the law of the Holy Ancestor as the law, and be a perfect person through the ages", but the Holy Ancestor reigned for sixty-one years, and the Holy Ancestor was martyred, and he almost never killed a member of the second grade or above. He has only been on the throne for less than 20 years, and he has already killed five or six feudal officials and a scholar. If you chase after the current matter, it will be difficult for Naqin, the "First Propaganda Minister", to escape his life. This "torture minister" Shi Bi is incomparable with Kangxi. Ne personally followed him in the East Palace, his position and family affection are unparalleled, and he praised his relatives for "first" many times, "with the style of an ancient minister", "loyal to the monarch and patriotism", and now he wants to kill this loyal and patriotic "ancient minister", and his own dignity is really unbearable...... He swallowed a bitter and astringent saliva and asked:

"I think Liu Tongxun's words are not unreasonable, Fu Heng, you understand military affairs, let's talk about it, can you turn the situation around?"

Fu Heng bumped into each other underground. He didn't believe that his relatives still had the ability to fight again, let alone "turn the situation around". If you can still fight, it is reasonable that you should first recover the Shujing Temple, and then go to the fold to report the merits and ask for the guilt, why bother to ask for the order to "transfer the Sichuan green camp to maintain the grain road"? Now that the situation on the front line is blurred, how can we respond to this difficult problem with a single letter full of lies? Hesitating, Fu Heng slowly considered the words and said, "It depends on the morale of the troops under the eyes of Ne. The grain road has been broken, and the relatives can still hold on to Songgang, and the slaves can't understand this. If it is true that thousands of enemies are annihilated in Xiazhai, Shaloben can still defend the Shujing Temple, which is also something that I can't understand. If Songgang is not besieged by the enemy army, and the village is in my hands, and there is no worries, why not lead the base camp back to rescue the Shujing Temple, but transfer the Sichuan Green Camp? I don't understand this one for a minion......"

He said three "I don't understand" in a row, and when he heard it, Qianlong became anxious again, and asked, "What should I do according to you?" ”

"Long live back!" Fu Heng had already got an idea, and he continued: "Now it is impossible to transfer the Sichuan Green Battalion, because the Green Battalion soldiers are stationed in eastern Sichuan and southern Sichuan, and the transfer cannot be rapid and there is no secret to protect." If our army is trapped in Songgang, without waiting for the soldiers to gather, the whole army will be wiped out, and the erosion of the entire Sichuan is unknown, so the emperor can hand out the edict to Zhang Guangsi, slightly reprimand his hypocrisy, and make his camera recover the Shujing Temple, and the rest of the measures will also be decided according to the situation, and there is no need to ask for an order. In short, the annihilation of the enemy is the first, and the 'whole army' is the first...... Master, Jinchuan is thousands of miles away from here, and it is categorically impossible to command directly! ”

He didn't finish speaking, Qianlong was already clear in his heart, Fu Heng said to the point, the situation was very likely to be much worse than he thought, he was silent for a long time, and said, "Just do it." You drafted this decree on my behalf. Jin Hui, Le Min and Li Shiyao may not all be willing to hide it for them - I expect them to have a secret twist. ”

Fu Heng went to the corner of the hall to draft the edict. Seeing that Liu Tongxun was still kneeling on the ground, Qianlong took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Yanqing, let's still sit." There's no responsibility for you. You didn't become the Minister of Military Aircraft, it's not because you lack of moral integrity, it's because the Criminal Department can't do without you. I heard that I only sleep less than two and a half hours a day? It turns out that I am optimistic about your body and bones, but I don't know that you have a heart disease. Add half an hour and sleep for three hours. I will send a few eunuchs to your house to wait. ”

"Your Majesty!" Liu Tongxun listened to Qianlong's thoughtfulness and gentleness, his heart was hot, tears rolled in his eyes, sighed, and said with a forced smile: "The minister is the world's favor, and he has been waiting for the master for two lifetimes. The emperor treats his ministers like this, is it ground into powder, can he repay it? In today's prosperous era, the population is more than twice as large as that of Kangxi, and there are many traitors and petty people, and public security is extremely important. The rule of officials is gradually declining, and unjust prisons should not be taken lightly. The minister is in charge of the national criminal code, and if he is not careful, or a traitor slips through the net, or kills a good person in vain, will he not live up to the emperor's heart? The minister hated having to eat and not sleep, but there were endless errands. I was afraid that my subordinates would coax the ministers to go, and I didn't dare to let go of something a little bigger. The minister knew that this was a problem, but there was nothing he could do. ”

"So talent matters, pay attention!"

"Talent is being discovered and used." Liu Tongxun sighed deeply, "This is only half right. To see the knowledge of the ministers, it is still necessary to be orthodox. Talent comes out of education, and talent who comes out must still teach him to know how to keep the great festival. Former Shanxi Governor Nuo Min, such a capable person, became a corrupt official for the sake of silver, Sahaliang and Kharchin were also extremely talented, and they were also corrupt, and they were punished as a result. And Lu Zhuo, who can be like him in governing the river? It was also greedy for money, and the army flowed out...... Now the yamen up and down are all silver flowing in and out like sea water, it is no longer like the time of Kangxi Ye Yongzhengye, how many people have made the silver erode! ”

He talked eloquently, although his words were not elegant, but he did have insight into the disadvantages of the times and went straight to the point. The more Qianlong thought about it, the more reasonable it became, but he didn't want to listen well in front of his subordinates, so he pondered and meditated for a long time, and said: "You write an excerpt to read it." Seeing that Fu Heng had already written a manuscript and submitted it, he took it and looked at it, only to see that Zhong Wang Xiaokai wrote:

Matsuoka played. Erqing used this paper to enter the imperial view, how frugal and frugal! Qing and others waved their troops to capture the village, and I was very comforted at the beginning; However, looking at the later text, it is known that the brush temple has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and it is also doubtful! Victory and defeat are common things in the army, Naiqing is revenge on defeat and bullying, self-inflicted, the past is still there, and the future master dares to forget? According to Qing Song, according to the Shujing Temple, it is a small jump for Sha Luoben, and the camera can return to the army to attack it, so it is not necessary or allowed to transfer the green battalion reinforcements. The capital division is thousands of miles away from Jinchuan, and he has repeatedly asked for instructions on trivial military affairs, is it to be too much for the emperor's father's court? If you live in this heart, what is the crime of bullying the king? Erner personally received the grace of my inferiority, and swore a writ on file; Zhang Guangsi is a person who is guilty of running errands. Since he is pure and pure, he comforts his father in the temple and is ninefold, if there is a decoration, he should be guilty, and it is not too late. Otherwise, I will not forgive! In short, it is my wish to annihilate the enemy and the whole army first, and to make Jinchuan a sword as a ploughshare as soon as possible.

Qianlong saw it, gritted his teeth and smiled bitterly: "It's polite to be polite with the courtiers, it's the first time I've ever suffered it." Ask the Military Aircraft Department to transcribe the seal, and send it to them as soon as possible! In a blink of an eye, seeing Wang Yan standing in the corner of the hall with his clothes in his arms, Qianlong asked, "Why did you come so early and late?" Crying with a sad face, why? "Stand up and change your clothes.

"The slave has already come, and the master is shaking the sky, so he was so scared that he peed his pants, and he didn't dare to come to change the master's clothes." Wang Yan hurriedly changed his face, came up to tidy up for Qianlong, took off the pearls, removed the foreign gold dragon gown, changed into a stone blue straight gauze gown, tied the gold head ponytail tie for Qianlong, and muttered: "...... But it's also true that the slave has grievances in his heart. Zhao Mingzhe of Zhongcui Palace hurriedly shouted the nickname of the slave, and the girls in the master's palace all laughed...... "Qianlong saw that he still wanted a garry cover, waved his hand to signal that he didn't need it, and asked, "Your nickname?" What is it called? "It's hard to hear, master!" Wang Shame had a bitter face, "Filial piety, loyalty, courtesy, righteousness, and shame, I am the eighth in line, I don't know which one promotes narrowness, and I call the slave 'Wang Bashame'!" ”

Qianlong was stunned, and then burst into laughter: "What a nickname!" You are a cheap slave, and I will not wronged you! Fu Heng and Liu Tongxun held on to not laughing at first, thinking that it was unbearable after all, they simply laughed together, and the depressed and dull atmosphere during the discussion suddenly eased a lot. Seeing that the two of them got up to leave, Qianlong said with a smile: "This must be because the queen knows that I am angry, so that this killing is amused." Don't be busy, I still have something to say. ”

"Yes!"

"An official rule, an official deficit, and river workers and Cao Yun are actually connected." Qianlong laughed for a while, his spirit was much better, and he said in thought: "Of course, the victory or defeat of Jinchuan is important, after all, it is not about the overall situation. In comparison, politics is still fundamental. Fu Heng coordinated the six ministries and nine qing, as well as the governors of various places, each of whom was on the list. It is recommended that if the court takes the right one, it is necessary to test the merit department and reward it. For those provinces in Jiangbei that have been hit by floods and droughts, the household department should verify the facts and come up with relief methods. In the places where the epidemic spreads, the government and county officials should collect medicine to prevent the spread. It is better to spend more money and buy peace, but it is also necessary to prevent some black-hearted officials from interfering in their hands to enrich their own pockets. ”

After hearing this, Fu Heng hurriedly said, "Yes!" The minions will do it when they go back. ”

"Liu Tongxun is also the messenger of the imperial history of the left capital." Qianlong followed his train of thought and said: "I'm not worried about you being lazy, but I'm worried that you're too trivial. Well...... Liu Yong will be introduced tomorrow, he is a new jinshi, and it is not appropriate to make an exception in the award, so he will be sent to the criminal department, and he will be the head of the prison department under the name of the department, and he can do some work for you. It's your subordinate and your son, who can take care of you a little more. ”

Liu Tongxun bowed and said solemnly: "The minister can stand down." The country has a common practice of avoidance, Liu Yong should not stay in the minister's department, the main thing is the sixth grade, he is a second-class jinshi, and his rank is also set high. The emperor loves his ministers, but he still has to love him and show his public affection. The minister has written to the family, and the inner son has come to Beijing with his mother, and the two widowed girls have also come with him, and there is a concubine, and there are enough people waiting in the family...... As for Liu Yong's dog, he has all his talents, but he has a high heart but little experience, so he should still be distributed to other provinces to be a state and county official, and he should work hard to make a messenger with his own ability. ”

"Very good, this is good for Liu Yong!" Hearing this, Qianlong's mood became even more relaxed, and he got up, "This is the principle of righteousness and justice, and I will fulfill you!" Let's kneel down - Ming'er asked Liu Yong to be introduced by the ministry, and I naturally had something to teach him. ”

Fu Heng and Liu Tongxun bowed down and withdrew, leaving only Qianlong and a dozen eunuchs and palace maids standing like couples in the huge hall, Qianlong sat alone, thinking about the situation in Jinchuan, and I don't know how to toss now, and thinking about Jin Mi folding, playing "a branch of flowers" in northern Jiangsu to preach and apply medicine to demagogue, refugees do not help and recuperate, it is very easy to have a big accident...... For a while, they wanted to rule the government again, and the officials not only used errands to eat and drink, and set up clever pretexts to dig up the treasury and silver, but even more hateful, many officials in the same year and fellow villagers colluded with customs lawsuits, disregarded people's lives, and were unjustly imprisoned more and more...... Thinking about it, Qianlong was irritable again, and felt that this hall was not as cool as Fang Cai. For he got up and went out, and paced himself to the west side of the temple. Wang Shi followed him for a long time, knew his temperament, and only took a few eunuchs of Xiao Sula to the gate of the palace and stood solemnly to wait, and Qianlong went in alone.

This is a forbidden place where no one is allowed to enter. It turned out to be a low-level concubine named Jinxia next to Yongzheng. and Qianlong, who was the elder brother, had a charming lingering, and was found out by the Queen Mother and hanged to death. How many years have passed, the palace has been repaired again, the palace door has also been changed to face north, and all the furnishings in the west side hall are still the old appearance of Jinxia's death. Qianlong always likes to come here to sit and sit whenever he is uncertain and tired, and it often has miraculous effects. This is a well-known secret in the palace.

"Jinxia, Jinxia...... I've come to see you again......" Qianlong paced in the brick-paved hall of Linqing, browsing the dark pictures of ladies and calligraphy on the walls, staring at the faded curtain on the gum, and caressing the broken strings of the guqin on the small case. His gaze became softer and softer, and with a hint of confusion, he wandered and looked at a word hanging on the grille:

At first glance, it is the end of the world, and it is double the credit from hatred and sorrow. For fear that the east wind column would dream of it and hide it. Invade Xiao and steal Yan to his home. Recalling the small window screen, the treasure curtain is heavy and the jade seal is oblique. The moon is boring and sleepy, and it is colder. Door cover red pear tree flowers......

This was written by Ji Yun when he was discussing with Ji Yun in the small study about compiling the "Siku Quanshu". Song paper, Song ink, special lake pens and inkstones are all rare things, used to write these words, Qianlong can't forget Ji Yun's surprised look at that time...... A wry smile crossed the corner of his mouth: "It's me who is sorry for you." You are innocent...... But you have become a god, so you know my heart...... You gave me a dream, saying that you have been reincarnated, and you have to wait for me...... I have looked all over the palace, and there is no one like you, has he not been selected yet? Ah, I'm going to tour the south, and there is a spirit in the heavens, and I can meet your reincarnated body......"

Fang Zi prayed in a panic, and suddenly heard the footsteps in the courtyard, as if he heard laughter. Qianlong lifted the curtains and looked out through the glass window, only to see Yan Hong Yingying leading, Niu Hulu's family, Nala's family, Wang's Chen family and a group of people surrounded the Queen Mother under Luanyu, stepping on the Yongdao and entering the hall, and listened to the Queen Mother's trembling voice and asked: "Where is the emperor?" ”
