The next day, Hongday, Ji Yun, Fan Shijie and the three people got up and returned to Yangzhou after running along the Jiangbei Post Road for one day. Because Ji Fan and the others were not used to riding horses, they both rode the mounts of the guards of the Hongyang Palace-they were all mules that were hybridized from the north of the mouth, and they rode fast and steadily. The post road is on the right side of the Yangtze River and the left leaning on the Jianghuai Plain, the vast and misty lonely sail is far away, and the green and lush flowers are like brocade, and they have no intention of watching and staying, only urging them to ride all the way. I only ate in a small shop in the east of Liuhe Town, and went on the road after eating. After entering Yangzhou City, going to Guazhou to go around Fugang in the north, to Gaoqiao Xinggongyi Gate, stepping on the dismounted stone to the ground, Ji Yun and Fan Shijie felt that their crotch was sore, and their legs and feet were wooden. The three of them stood under the acacia tree next to the dismounted stone and were stunned for a while, looking at the sun, it was the time of the unitary time. Ji Yun increased his forehead with his hand and said with a smile: "The early White Emperor arrived in Jiangling at dusk, it turns out that not only the Three Gorges of the Yangtze can be, but also on land!" Fan Shijie said: "I have never walked so many roads in one day. I just feel that the rivers and rivers are still retreating - thinking about the supply and demand of the Tianshan Mountains all the way, I will arrive in Yangzhou! Fifth master, can this mule reward Lao Fan? "If you reward you, you will be rewarded!" Hongyang smiled, "I still have a few horses!" Ban rolled to send my sweaty horse, with the cubs under the Shandong grass donkey. It's just a walkway! Now a sweaty horse can't get tens of thousands of silver. The sweat of the two stallions in my house is really red and bright, and it will not be in the third generation, like light rouge - but slightly better than the Mongolian horse. This is the kind that my own soldiers ride with me. Seeing Bu Yi swaying out of the Yimen, he flicked a bullet on the back of Wang Bao'er's hand, who was standing far away, and ordered, "You go back to the post station, and even these three horses are led for a walk—we are about to call in." ”

"Slave Bu Yi has asked the fifth master and the two adults to say goodbye!" Bu Yi stood aside, waited for Hongtian to finish speaking, saluted Qian'er, got up with a smile and said, "The emperor accompanied the Queen Mother to Hongqiao early this morning, and he hasn't come back yet." Nanjing is more than 400 miles away, and it is estimated that you will be able to come back tomorrow. The guards' rooms outside the palace are empty, so the gentlemen will rest first. The master must be tired when he comes back. If you want to call, the slave will come and pass it, or you will call—"

"If you don't call it, of course you can't pass it!" Hong Sun interrupted him with a smile, "You are really a rap for killing, no wonder you can't be promoted to the chief eunuch!" - Take us there! ”

Bu Yi pulled the male duck's throat and said a long promise: "Yes——, Chitose Lord takes care of the slaves more, and the slaves will be inexhaustible ......" Chen smiled and turned around in three steps and led the three of them into the instrument gate. There are five or six rooms in a row on the left side of the second heavy door, all of which are imitations of the style of the guard room outside the Qianqing Gate of the Forbidden City, all facing southeast according to the terrain and the palace wall. It's said that it's an errand, but in fact, it's all about you, the new nobleman—go and meet them, don't let people say you're big as soon as you take office. I rested in the house with old Ji Xitou. Fan Shijie had already met a few people, and he couldn't help but meet, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and walked over with a smile. Here Bu Yi took the head in front of him, opened the door and lit the lamp, poured the foot washing water to make tea, and when the feet were washed, a hot towel was handed over, and the tea was not hot or cold.

"Good monkey cubs will wait!" Hongyang grabbed a large handful of golden melon seeds from his arms and handed them to him with a smile, "I see that you are better than Wang Bashi and can wait, why can't you use it compared to him?" Take it - it's not easy for you to ......" Bu Yi hurriedly held it with both hands, his face smiled into a bunch of chrysanthemums, and he took it in his arms and thanked Qian'er for rewarding, and said: "Wang Bashi is more capable than a slave!" He'll be—" he ticked with his finger, "fishing hook!" That's right for Nala's noble lord's spleen and stomach. Hee-hee...... The emperor is actually full of slaves, but the emperor pays attention to the family law of his ancestors, and people like slaves can't be indulged, hehe...... The slave is a useless person, and it is all up to the master to carry him. "Forget it!" Hongyang smiled: "I still know a little about the eunuch style." If you offend you in the teahouse or in the imperial kitchen, you dare to throw some salt or something into the tea, and make the master lose his temper and beat them. The last time I saw me, I was such a big fat man, and it was a hot day, and he bowed like a prawn, and he couldn't stand up straight. I saw him sitting there like that, and I asked him, 'Do you have a stomachache?' Jidu is a straight intestine, to tell the truth, he said that he would wait to see him in my flower hall and drink tea, and he was happy to put ** in it, and this guy was as hard as an iron rod underneath. Straighten up your waist and put your robe up here, what does Lao Gao look like? - It's not that he didn't send the door bag, the eunuchs treated him! - Later, I beat each of the eunuchs in the flower hall eighty boards, and there was no such thing. ”

Ji Yun sat cross-legged on the wooden couch at first to spread the paper to write a letter, and he laughed when he heard it, put down his pen and said, "I have to guard against this!" Is there any trickery in this tea? "Then score people, watch people put down dishes!" Bu Yi saw that there was not much ink in the inkstone, so he hurriedly came over to grind the ink on the water, and Huo Huo said in a loud voice, "There is a matter of putting salt into the master's dish, which is specially designed for the eunuchs who are waiting for the imperial meal." He had to taste the imperial food first. Several people have tasted it before they can reach the master, and there are also those who supervise the food, and it is not easy to do tricks. There are also things to put **, unless there is a personal vendetta. In Yongzhengye's hand, Cai Mingming let Sun Jiagan tea go-his father was killed by Lord Sun-found out that Yongzheng Ye was going to steam him with a cage, but it was Lord Sun who interceded, saying that he was avenging his father and a filial son! It's all about killing. The eunuch is a villain, and as soon as we enter the palace, this is the first palace motto. Lord Qianlong has never forgiven people here, and we dare not commit this crime. Small and small, such as which adult sent a bag, the master likes to say goodbye, the underground gold bricks in the palace have been touched, which piece kowtows, bring it to that piece to make him kneel, the head knocks on the sound, the master listens to his sincerity. Some people saw that the eunuch had a black face and didn't take any of it, so they took him to the ground to kneel on the porcelain ground. Even if his head is broken, he can't make that 'knock' sound. Maybe it will annoy the master - it is now said that Lord Dou has a great reputation, and he has suffered this loss......" Ji Yun was listening, Rao was unheard of when he read all the books and learned the rich five cars, and he couldn't help but sigh: "A gentleman can be bullied, and a villain is terrifying." It's really amazing how crazy it is - you just said fishing, what kind of university questions is fishing in? ”

"This has its own secret recipe, and the villain doesn't know it." Bu Yi didn't dare to speak along this topic at all, only smiled, "For example, if you write an article, it is the first in the world, and the villain just wants to blow up his head, can you write it?" If you teach me, I will learn? He put down the ink ingot and said goodbye with a smile, turned back to the door, and smiled at Hongday: "The master has been busy these days, and his temperament is not good. The prince and the lord replied to each other and kept a little attention-" He was about to say, Hongyang waved his hand and said, "Get out of your eggs and go seriously!" - I saved! ”

Only Hongtian and Ji Yun were left in the house. Seeing that the darkness outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, the two of them seemed to have something on their minds, and they didn't know where to start for a while. I only heard the buzzing voices of people in the distance from the other two rooms, still talking about something, faintly heard, but it added to the sense of tranquility.

"Xiaolan," Hongtian saw that Ji Yun's ink aid pen was about to write again, and asked half-leaning on the couch, "I heard that you are going to marry Jianzeng?" Your daughter is only fourteen years old, why are you in such a hurry? I'm still ready to be a matchmaker for you, who wants Zhuang Yougong to take the first step! Ji Yun said with a smile: "The number of children and daughters is predetermined, and it will not be fake." When I traveled the world before I was a scholar, Lu saw that Zeng Lao was the envoy of the two Huai salt transporters at that time, and he had a celebrity scribe in Hongqiao. I wasn't even twenty years old at the time, and I was lucky enough to get the top spot. At that time, the elegant Confucian crowns were all Jiangnan Xiushi, collecting more than 7,000 poems in four words and seven laws, and compiled into a poetry collection of more than 300 volumes! He looked up at the ceiling, as if sad and joyful to trace the prosperity of the year, and muttered, "At that time, Lu Lao was already an old man in the literary world in the south of the Yangtze River, and "Yayutang", "Three Cases of Jinshi", and "Out of the Stopper" were all written by him...... He pointed at me at the feast and sighed, saying, 'How nice it is that I want to have a little daughter for him!' ’…… At that time, I was a hairy talent who did not know the height of the sky, and I replied loudly, 'How good it is for you to have a little granddaughter in the future, and give it to my son!' Zhuang Yougong went to visit him, and actually brought up the old words, saying that he had a little grandson named Lu Yinwen, who had entered school this year. My second daughter, Yunhua, is thirteen years old and also inquired refreshingly. Zhuang Yougong insisted on protecting the mountain, saying that the big husband was like a mountain, and the in-laws who had been established in 20 years were a match made in heaven, and he told me a lot of ominous things against the sky. Zhuang Yougong has already voted for the governor of Yungui, and it is not easy to defeat him. That's why I hired this officer......" He smiled wryly and didn't continue. Hongyang nodded when he heard this, and sighed: "This is a number determined by heaven, and it is not humanly possible!" - The Lu family is good, it is an elegant family, but after all, three generations of salt affairs have gone up. Lu Yinwen: I don't know which grandson he is. Lu Congkong is now the Fujian Salt Transport Envoy, do you have any trouble with Gao Heng's case? There are no eggs under the nest, I'll sweat for you! ”

Ji Yun lit the fire and smoked, and after a while, he smiled and said: "It's okay, how can there be a salt official in the world who is not in deficit?" Lu Yinwen's father, Lu Qingkong, walked into the Jinshi Gate, is Zhuang Yougong's protégé, and he is very decent - now Gao Heng's lawsuit is not over, even if he is married, he is implicated, and there is no reason to withdraw from the marriage - then I am not the number one bird on the play? The ups and downs of the Huan Sea, how can there be a long-lasting official position? Even the prince is the same, have you ever thought about it? ”

"W-huh?"

"The lord is eating in the fourth archway, the boss is not respectful, you bring a litter of dogs in to occupy the table to eat. Is there anything wrong? ”

"Yes, he scolded me! Say I'm not as good as a dog! ”

"You are a micro-suit, the white dragon fish suit is bullied, blame yourself."

"I've got enough money for food!"

"So this can only be called ridiculous," Ji Yun smiled, "You are the prince, if you are an ordinary person, this is called a sin!" - Yes, you are happy to eat a bowl of tofu brains from a poor woman, and you can make ten taels of gold; pretended to beg for food and basked in the sun with the callers; It's nothing. Nine foreheads give you birthday gifts, let people squat in the door to eat-what is the forehead? It's the colt sung in the play! - Is there any such thing? ”

“！ - All of them! I can't look down on him wagging his tail with winkful eyes! ”

"Also, your family's discipline thinks it is strict." Ji Yun smoked a cigarette unhurriedly and smiled, "More than a dozen girls are stripped naked, you take a pen to draw on them, and dance with bells and whistles to show you - but there are any?" ”

Hongtian was stunned for a moment, did not speak, tilted his head and thought for a long time, pointed his fingers at the corners of his forehead, and couldn't think of anyone who leaked this kind of family affairs, grinned and said: "Zhang Chang gave a woman a thrush, someone sued the emperor, Zhang Chang said: 'The selfishness of the boudoir is more than that of the thrush!'" Ji Yun smiled and asked, "What about Herd?" - What are they doing? Hongtian laughed when he heard this: "These are all some fighting men, returning from thousands of miles, and going back to guard the border for the court, what kind of bird is it to find a few ** to make a fire for them?" - You said it wasn't a big deal. Ji Yun said: "It's not a trivial matter to put it in one place. Now the wind is decaying, the officialdom is turbid, and the land below merges the rich and the poor. Wang Tian'er in Guangxi, Cai Zhenzu in Hunan, Ma Yueke in Jiangxi, and two widows in Qi in Shandong, a few places to pull the mountain, a few dozen people, more than thousands, killing officials and robbing warehouses to eat big households, and some local tenants are resisting rent, and they are also puffing pus, making trouble with the Tianli Society, the Tiandi Society, and the Elder Brothers' Association. The affairs of Jinchuan have not yet come down, the affairs of the Tianshan Mountains have to be taken care of, the affairs of the border plug have not been taken care of, and there are so many troubles in the mainland. Liu Tongxun, you go and take a look, you have lost weight as a reed stick, and you look like you have a black face and frowns every day. When the Lord Shangyuan talked about Jiangnan, he also had a sense of entertainment, so bad, he had to pay for his smile in front of the Queen Mother - he listened to these things, was he happy? Hongtian was about to speak, but Bu Yi hurriedly came in and said: "The emperor has returned to Luan, please take it!" He hurried out.

Hongtian and Ji Yun hurriedly left the house, and Fan Shijie's group in the next room had also come out. Under the cold stars in the sky, a group of lanterns in the distance, a bright yellow color, like a long dragon, gradually approaching. The main gate of the palace was opened by ***, and I saw Wang Bayan walking in with a big palace lamp in front of him, and dozens of guiding watermelon lamps immediately poured in. Hongday took the lead, Ji Yunfan Shijie slightly flanked, and a group of civil and military officials who went to the palace to meet and report on their work also looked like more than 20 people, laying down the horse's hooves and prostrate on the ground, Hongday led the kowtow and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live!" ”

When Fan Shijie peeked, in a large area of brilliant lights and candles, a leather chariot drove into the main gate, and Bu Li shook the long whip in his hand, and the chariot stopped. The nine rings and bells that rang lightly on the car were also suddenly silent. According to the Qing system, the emperor's chariot was divided into five grades, which were jade, gold, elephant, wood, and leather. The leather wheel is the lowest class and is only used for ordinary access. At this time, under the lamp, the saddle can be six feet long, there are more than eight feet horizontally, two sets of royal horses, the saddle is surrounded by a circular red railing, and there is a eunuch standing on the corner. In the middle, there is a sedan pavilion in the shape of a square pavilion, with a square dome and a height of about one zhang. Surrounded by bright yellow leather inlaid with glass clay silver, can be opened and closed on all sides, gems hang white satin eaves, carriage plates, all with agarwood carved cloud dragon plate inlay, under the dark lamp, gold and purple staggered, brilliant dazzling can not be forced. Everyone was stunned, four little eunuchs carried a bright yellow cushioned small ladder and flew as if they came over and pressed on the side of the car, and saw Bu Xin pick up the white satin soft curtain and come out, standing on one side with his hand, people's eyes lit up, and they saw Qianlong coming out of the inside, and the head that was originally low was bowed down again. Hong Sun didn't raise his head, and said, "Brother Greetings to the Emperor!" ”

"Get up!"

For a long time, Qianlong seemed to take a deep breath before he spoke. The hearts of the people were tense, and they were a little more relaxed. He replied "thank you" and stood up unevenly. Hongtian glanced at his brother, just as Qianlong's eyes were also looking at him, and he hurriedly lowered his head and whispered: "Your Majesty, I just rushed back from Nanjing......" Qianlong ignored him, his face was slightly haggard, he frowned, pointed to everyone and asked Fan Shijie: "They all picked you up from the household?" ”

"Back to the emperor," Fan Shijie bowed down and said cautiously, "There are only two Lang officials from the household department, Liang Zufan and Yin Jiaquan, to report the affairs of the ministry to the ministers, not to receive the ministers." There are also five or six who went to Fujian to handle the escort of treasury silver, and by the way, they met with ministers here. The rest of these people are all officials of the River Works and the Donation Bureau, and Lu Zhuo sent them to see the ministers. ”

"Yin Jiaquan," Qianlong asked as he stared at the crowd, "which one?" A middle-aged man in his thirties stood behind, listening to the emperor call his name, squeezed out in a panic, almost tripped when kneeling on the corner of his robe, kowtowed again and again, and said, "Minister...... Hearing that his voice ......changed a little with excitement, Qianlong couldn't help but smile and said: "I remember you, it turns out that you are in Liuhe Dangzhi County, and the official reputation is not bad." Scholars are from a scholar's background, and they must pay attention to their grace and temperament, so panicked! - Are you and Yin Jishan from the same family? ”

"Yes, yes...... The ministers obeyed the holy commandments and must study hard. The minister first pilgrimaged the holy face, close to the heavenly might, and was overwhelmed with awe. Our emperor embraces the four seas, virtue is Kyushu, and the ministers are also flattered. After a period of nervousness, Yin Jiaquan gradually calmed down and spoke fluently, "Yin Ying, the ancestor of the minister, is the same great-ancestor as Yin Tai, the father of the minister Yin Jishan. Yin Zhuangtu, the great-grandfather of the ministers after entering the pass from the dragon, died in the battle of Xianxialing and did not enter the flag. Therefore, the branch of the minister later declined......"

"It's just a sect." Qianlong originally asked casually, but when he saw him so elusive, he felt funny and said, "So you are also a famous minister." I have read your article, the law is still good, the text is clear, a little old-fashioned, and I have entered the Cheng Zhu school. Get up, do your errands! He also said to everyone, "It is a serious matter to send back to the chief minister." Throwing into the door wall to drill and stab the door to pave the way for his own promotion and fortune, now the officialdom has become a habit, and this trend cannot be long. There is a way for the promotion of officials, and the accumulation of wealth follows the way, and the left side door is unreliable. Remember! Fan Shijie saluted solemnly and said: "The emperor's words are the words of the sage, and the ministers firmly remember them-" turned to everyone and said, "Think about the holy oracle carefully, the people in the household department will go back to convey it to Wu Shilang, and all the people, and the clerk and porter are no exception!" Ji Yun, a very spiritual person, was busy with everyone: "The emperor said this to us, and it is also to the military officials in the heavens to instruct the officials." Turning back, the court will report the edict to the court, and it will be clearly revealed. We are blessed to listen with our own ears, and when we go back, we must not only practice it ourselves, but also preach to the subordinates of the scholars in the school palace and the yamen! ”

Everyone had already knelt down, and after listening to Ji Yun's words, they hurriedly agreed: "Chirp-the ministers obey the order!" He got up and walked back. Qianlong stood in the shadow of the lamp and did not move, nor did he speak to the three ministers, beckoned to Bu Yi and asked, "Have you been to Yingjiaqiao Station?" ”

"The minions have been there." Bu Yiha said, "Liu Tongxun convened a meeting of the people from the Criminal Department, and dozens of people in the council hall listened to him. The servant did not obey the order, did not dare to stir up and speak, and stood outside the hall and waited for a full hour, while he was still speaking. Because the emperor still has a decree, let the servants come back to take care of the fifth master's return. Hurriedly rushed back. The minion will go again. Qianlong was silent for a while, stood in a circle, and said: "This time, if you go, if you haven't dismissed the meeting yet, call him out to spread my will: even if Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebel, Huangchao Li Zicheng will come to the city and disperse immediately!" Tell Huang Tianba that he will discuss with Wu Blind according to Liu Tongxun's issue first, and let Liu Tongxun rest for three days before returning. ”

"Understood! Minions obey! ”

"Slow," Qianlong's eyes flickered, "Zhang is not relaxed, and the civil and military are also capable; Relaxed but not relaxed, civil and military for the also. One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military affairs is also'. - You have to tell him that small things don't take care of big things, and that you don't have to be thoughtful about everything. ”

"The slave will give him every word!"

"Repeat it!"

So Bu Yi recited it, but it was really word for word, and only quoted a passage from Confucius and said it in four tones. Ji Yun asked: "Do you understand what the emperor means by these words?" Bu Yi said with a smile: "The emperor's words couldn't be clearer: don't eat if your stomach is swollen, listen to the emperor's words, and your stomach won't distangle after eating." Sometimes the stomach is swollen and he doesn't eat, and sometimes he wants to eat when he is hungry, this is the reason why civil and military officials are officials! Several people couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. Qianlong said with a smile: "Let him recite it according to the original text, the people can make it impossible to know it." The good classics are all made into four dislikes. Ji Yun said with a smile: "I saw that the master was in a bad mood and made him laugh." ”

Qianlong nodded, and said to Bu Yi again: "I have already eaten at the Queen Mother's side. The meal prepared here was carried over to reward Liu Tongxun, and Wu Blind and Huang Tianba could accompany the meal. and the palace maid who originally rewarded him was sent back, telling him that the reward given to him was his, and he should understand that the king should not give up his ministers. In addition to business, there is a little pleasure in the boudoir, and the saint did not say that it should not be - that's it, go! ”

"Wow!"

Bu Yi retreated, got on his horse and put on the lantern and left. Qianlong said, "You come in with me," turned around and left. Hongtian secretly grimaced, glanced at Ji Yun, and followed Qianlong into the palace.

This palace is built by relying on the situation of the remaining veins of Shufu, because the canal winds around a half-bay on the side of the gang, the east side goes straight to the north and then to the west, and the south side is adjacent to a thin West Lake bay, although the scenery is beautiful, but the central axis has to be built in the southeast-northwest direction. The palace gate naturally faces southeast. Enter the instrument gate, a pebble road slopes uphill, cross an imitation palace jade belt gold water bridge, and then go northwest about a few steps away from the inner gate of the palace. The yellow glazed tile vermilion wall, cypress, catalpa, elm, willow, poplar, acacia and various miscellaneous trees are dense and verdant inside and outside the wall, and it looks lush and deep under a palace lamp, so quiet that even the corner of the wall weaver is as fine as a gossamer "Riri-" whispering can be heard clearly. The night vigil eunuchs at the base of the palace wall were also motionless, hunched slightly, like the stone Weng Zhong in front of the ancient tomb. Seeing that Qianlong's footsteps were a little sluggish and a little unable to pull out his legs, the guards hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Qianlong's right arm, and said to the left guard Sauron: "Your right!" - Master, you are tired, this palace is not well repaired, the uphill road! Sauron hurriedly hugged Qianlong's right arm. Wear the inner courtyard and enter the third courtyard, the front is the main hall of eight and nine rooms, a row of inlaid glass partition doors, the inside is brightly lit, there are eight palace lamps hanging under the eaves of the top of the mountain, the pillars of the palace are all a brand new Danchalk of vermilion lacquer gold powder cloud dragon, it looks particularly brilliant at night.

The two guards helped Qianlong to get up to the Danqi and let go of their hands, and stood on both sides of the gate. Hongtian and the others also stood outside. The eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting in the room saw Qianlong stepping into the hall, and they all knelt down on the spot. Qianlong glanced at the Sumeru seat in the center, because he saw that the queen's attendant Qin Meimei and the maid of the Nala concubine Su Qiao'er were there, he raised his hand and shouted, walked towards the East Warm Pavilion, and asked, "Your master Niangniang is in good spirits today?" - What about Naras? What is this going to do? ”

"Back to the master!" The two men saluted in unison. Qin Meimei said: "Niangniang's spirit is fine. A small bowl of old rice was served for lunch, a small plate of celery fried lamb tripe made by Zheng Er, and half a bowl of quail protein seaweed soup was also entered...... After taking a nap, the mother said that she was a little flustered, lying on the couch and listening to the birds on the tree outside, and got up to burn incense for Guanyin Bodhisattva, and her heart was settled. For dinner, only a piece of dumpling, a small bowl of japonica rice and lotus seed porridge, and radish and cold king gourd dice. At this time, Master Nala and Master Chen are all in the mother's room, and they talk to the mother to relieve their boredom! ”

Qianlong stood and listened, nodded and said, "It's late tonight, Ming'er will call that Ye Tianshi to come in and take a pulse." Tell Nala and accompany the queen more. I'll go over when I'm done here. "Let's go into the warm pavilion and sit down. The eunuchs were busy rubbing his face, wiping his hands and feet, and changing his clothes and rinsing his mouth, Qianlong asked for "before the drunken rain", so he sat cross-legged on the wooden couch, flipped through the folds, and said: "Come in!" Then he saw the three of them rushing in, and seeing that they were about to salute again, he waved his hand impatiently, pointed to the pestle and said, "Excuse me, sit down and say—the eunuchs withdraw—give tea!" The three of them said again, "Ji Yun, say it." If there is a legacy, Fan Shijie and Hongday are patches. ”

Ji Yun got up and carefully took the tea bowl brought by the palace maid, promised to say "yes", sat down and said the general experience of the meeting with Hurd, and when he was in charge of the Zhungar Rebellion, he made up for the internal disputes among the former Geerdance and the various ministries, which were all fragments of military information that he had obtained from browsing the military planes on weekdays, and the longitudinal description of Herd was coherent, but it was more detailed than what Hurd said, and many superfluous details were deleted, and the situation in the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and the western and southern Xinjiang had been clearly played in less than half an hour. Fan Shijie and Hongday listened to him casually quote the original texts of Ban Luo, Erong An and Broca, and Lang Lang recited it like reading an old book. Hongday couldn't help but shake his head and secretly praised: "This person was known as 'covering the genius of Jiangnan' when he was young, and he is really not arrogant......" Peeked at Qianlong, sat cross-legged and listened quietly, the camel-colored satin robe and the stone blue satin jacket were not moving, and he was a bit like a statue of a god in the temple, and he couldn't help but think: This sitting skill is really rare for people. While thinking about it, Ji Yun had already said the end: "As far as the minister's insight is concerned, although the Junggar Department is in internal turmoil, in fact, all parties involved in the rebellion have different aspirations for the imperial court, and only the three cars Ling is attached to the true rule of the Celestial Empire." Mongolia has been a foreign threat to the Central Plains since ancient times, and it is also the old enemy of our dynasty[1]

, Eastern Mongolia and Southern Mongolia are now carefully oriented, which is caused by the grace and power of the six generations of holy lords. The Khalkha Mongols actually wanted to form an alliance with the Rakshasa and be enemies of the imperial court. This matter is not trivial, once the civil strife is calmed down, it will be half the effort to subdue it, and it will affect Tibet. Therefore, it is not only a major matter, but also a matter of immediate urgency. I begged the emperor to be cautious about the holy judgment. He pursed his lips, subconsciously touched his boots, withdrew his hand and bowed his head.

"Ji Yun can smoke." Qianlong smiled, but turned to Hongday, "Old Five, what insight do you have?" ”

Hongtian was drinking tea, hurriedly put down the cup, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen is a confused person, and he really doesn't understand military politics. The territory of the Celestial Empire is not lost, and whoever rebels will fight him, this is the charter! Transferred the garrison outside Zhangjiakou to march on the north road, so that the three chariots were 10,000, and the Korqin Nibul each sent 10,000 cavalry to lead; The Ningxia battalion, the Ganshan battalion formed the South Road, and the battalion stationed in Urumqi, as well as the Tianshan garrison, together was an army of one million, pincer-shaped attacks on three sides. Dawazi is not a native grandson, can he escape? If you destroy the Junggar rebel department, Huo Ji's Hui department will become an island, and he won't dare to rebel! In this plot of Xinjiang, there can no longer be established Khan autonomy, and it is necessary to set up provincial officials**, suppress and appease, and use them together, so as to achieve long-term peace and stability. Fan Shijie said: "Such a large-scale attack from all sides is not advisable for the minister." The military needs are not available. The folk proverb can't build a house without rice mountains and mountains, and the national proverb can't fight without gold and silver! After three years of such a big move, the treasury will be empty! ”

"If you don't learn, you can't do it!" Qianlong stared at Hongyang and said coldly, "You are being clever when you suffer a loss!" The little things are ridiculous, the wall of Yuqing Palace peeing, the smelly feet in the lecture hall of the Zongxue Mansion, and the baby of yours who goes to the happy event with Wang Bao'er to do happy things, pretending to be called Huazi to please the money - this I can tolerate you; You dare to talk nonsense about national events like child's play! Well?! He "snapped" the case, and when he looked at Qianlong, his face was already full of anger! The palace maids were cold and unaware that he suddenly became angry, bluffing each other in fear, lowering their hands and bowing their heads and trembling. The three of them were so shocked that their bodies stiffened at first, and they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Because he took a large group of dogs to the fourth archway to eat a restaurant, the Metropolitan Procuratorate had already impeached Hongday, and the eunuchs of the inner court also gave Hongtian a letter, "The emperor was so angry that he trembled and tore up the book", Hongday had long expected that the emperor's brother would punish himself. Rao is like this, when the matter came to an end, he was still shocked into a cold sweat, his heart jumped suddenly, and he kowtowed and stammered: "Your Majesty...... The emperor rested...... Anger...... Minister...... Brother...... The emperor's holy family is rich, and he is unscrupulous and frolicking, not only does he not learn and has no skills, but he is also immoral and incompetent! Live up to the emperor's fist-" He gradually settled down, and his speech became sincere and smooth, with a choked head banging, "At the beginning of the emperor's reign, the queen mother summoned and warned that the first emperor Ziyin only had the emperor and his ministers. Brothers are concentric, their profits are gold, the minister is the younger brother, but also the courtier, to be a good minister of the Duke of Zhou. However, the emperor is the emperor of the Holy Governance of Longhua, virtue is the world, Ze and all directions, the four seas sing and dance to promote peace, the political and the people have only been seen since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the country is rich and the people are Yin, and the twenty-four history books are not contained! In this prosperous era, the younger brother should have been more self-cultivated and respectful to the king, and the emperor shared the worries of the emperor's labor, but instead gave birth to the heart of pampering and enjoying jade food, and he didn't know that the king's grace was unbearable, and he was mad - the younger brother was really shameless! He raised his hand and slapped himself, he was really ruthless, and five finger marks immediately appeared on his left cheek, and then he touched the ground and kowtowed, tears and snot were ready-made, and his face was dripping all over his face.

"It's none of your business." Qianlong was angry and funny when he heard it, sighed helplessly, ordered Ji Yun and Fan Shijie to return to their seats with a straight face, and got off the bed by himself, pacing with the green satin cool soap boots, and then reprimanded, "Where did you copy the article to fool me?" Do you have this talent to play the right one? If you have been prepared for a long time, why don't you repent earlier? What is 'singing and dancing', and what is 'political communication', what is Fu Heng doing now? Ban Roll landed on the ground in the Western Regions! Gao Heng Qiandu's case implicated several feudal officials and dozens of provincial officials, and the corrupt officials were all killed one after another, and the wildfires were inexhaustible, and the evil wind blew again! You go and see Liu Tongxun - he's almost tired - " He swallowed back the word "death" that came to his mouth, "I'm tired!" You're still messing around here, doing evil, and adding fuel to the fire! ”

"There are things that the courtiers are messing around, and I ask the emperor to punish him heavily."

"There are also evildoers!"

"The Emperor's ......"

"You got twenty-three stinky **s for you to sleep with Hurd!" Qianlong said viciously, "What kind of virtue is this? - Drive all the people away from the post station, the post station is a national hotel, you dare to turn it into a hospital! I have tolerated you for many years, and you have embarrassed me every day! Do you think that I can't hand you over to the ministry, dare not confine you, dare not kill you? He thought about all kinds of unsatisfactory things, the Battle of Jinchuan led Fu Heng and Yin Jishan, the two military ministers, the Tianshan Junggar Rebellion could not be stopped, and the Hui Department was agitating, and even Tibet was shocked and turbulent, and the officials were corrupt and rectified without a clue...... His face was flushed with anger, the tendons in front of his neck and forehead were swollen high, and his roar echoed throughout the hall, "Hurry up and get out of me!" Save yourself from looking at you disgusting, a heartwarming kick kicks you to death...... Strip off thy lord, strip thy yellow coat, and take off thy ten crowned pearls, and punish them according to your will......"

Hongtian almost crawled out of the main hall. The palace maid had already been bluffed by him, and her soul was not possessed and she fell to the ground.

Fan Shijie and Ji Yun were already dumbfounded, sitting on the pestle like a stiff couple, their faces were pale with fright, and their palms and backs were full of cold sweat - what happened with Hurd was last night! It was unbelievable that it reached Qianlong's ears so quickly! I didn't have time to think about it, and Zhan saw Hongyang standing at the door of the hall as if he hadn't woken up from a nightmare, and looked at the hall in confusion with single bubble eyes. Fan Shijie saw Qianlong holding a cup, drank tea with trembling hands, and said busily: "The emperor is careful about the dragon body...... The fifth master should not be handed over to the ministry for punishment...... The major event will punish the prison, and the queen mother will also be shaken and uneasy, lest she hurt the emperor's filial piety......"

He thought these words were decent, but Qianlong listened to them as if adding fuel to the fire, looking at Hongday's wooden face, he took a cup of water out of his hand. The cup rubbed the sideburns of Hongyang, and it fell to pieces with a "bang", and even the eunuch guards outside the courtyard were startled. Seeing that Qianlong was still looking for something to smash, Ji Yun threw himself on a long knee and walked a few steps, hugged Qianlong's knees, and said pleadingly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... You are tired and confused...... This inkstone smashed on his head, does he still have a life? The fifth master is not good in every way, it is always your younger brother...... You only have this one brother...... Doesn't it break the heart of Mary? The emperor ...... "I don't know which sentence hurt my heart, Ji Yun's heart was sour, and tears came out of his eyes. Fan Shijie came over to snatch the inkstone in Qianlong's hand, and at the same time turned back and shouted to Hongday: "Is the fifth master standing stupidly? Why don't you hurry up and see the Queen Mother?! Hongtian woke up in a daze, and slipped away without a trace.

"Filial piety...... Ti? Qianlong relaxed suddenly, the color of his flushed face disappeared, and he became extremely pale, waved his hand and ordered the two courtiers to return to their seats, took the hot towel handed by the palace maid and gently rubbed his face, sat down dejectedly, and said weakly in a trembling voice, "I have been in the palace since I was six years old to study with the Holy Ancestor, and I often wrap around my knees to celebrate ...... At the age of fourteen, he entered Yunsongxuan and studied government affairs with the emperor...... The Holy Grandfather ascended the throne at the age of eight, at the age of fifteen, he was determined to withdraw the feudal domain, put down the rebellion of the three feudatories, and made three expeditions to Zhun Geer to patrol the south of the Yangtze River. Shizong Ye practiced Zuo for thirteen years, cultivated politics and refreshed the rule of officials, and also made the country strong and the people strong. How did you get into my hands, let you get tired and scatter your bones and break your heart, and you will not succeed in the end? Qingfu, the top capable Wenchen, led to the Jinchuan Rebellion; Zhang Guangsi's relatives, a general and a prime minister, were defeated with ten attacks and one and then fell into the water! Isn't that ridiculous? I have such a ridiculous brother, and the civil and military officials follow the absurdity! The political envoy of Sichuan sent a secret fold, Fu Heng was also ridiculous, I waited for him to come out and move troops to fight Dawazi, and he made a Mongolian woman to play in the army! What kind of filial piety does an emperor like me deserve...... The Holy Ancestor Emperor created difficulties, if it was corrupted in my hands, what could I say about the word 'filial piety'......" said, and tears flowed for a long time.
