Qianlong's face was completely gloomy, his two short black and thick eyebrows were slightly distorted, and the pupils in his deep eye sockets flashed with a glimmer like a needle, and he glanced at a few people in the hall, the muscles on his forehead twitched from time to time, and his two hands clenched the edge of the file, as if he was about to jump up, but he gritted his teeth and sat silent. The eunuch who was waiting by the curtain for tea, water, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone knew the master's temper best, and his waist was like a mimosa that had been touched, and he bent down with a brush, waiting for the thunder to rain and hail.

Qianlong didn't have a seizure, sucked his lips, and asked, "Ji Yun, did Gansu report drought or flood last year?" He opened his mouth to ask, Ji Yun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and replied without thinking: "Report drought - Your Majesty, Gan Ningqing has always reported drought." The Jing River in Shaanxi Province was extremely flooded last year, but the Hetao Zhangye Wuwei had a full harvest and did not ask for relief. Gansu has been a drought for five consecutive years, and the barometer was sent to the imperial review, and the emperor understood. Qianlong said "um", and asked: "In the past few years, Gansu has been exempted from the amount of disaster relief money and grain, and I think I have to wait for the household department to report?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Ji Yun sighed in his heart, and in an instant, he was more careful, and said on the spot, "The detailed number of ministers can't understand, according to Gansu, the registered land is more than 236,000 hectares, and the land endowment is 287,000 taels, which are exempt from taxation for five consecutive years. Last year, 50,000 yuan of disaster relief money was issued, 80,000 the year before last, and 65,000 the year before last - this is the household department reported to the imperial review, and the minister accidentally saw it when the military aircraft department kept the file, and the mantissa cannot be remembered. I remember that the former criminal minister also said, 'Wang Kangwang is really smart, he knows the bumper harvest in Jiangnan, and he has the master's mercy on the victims, and he works hard to report the disaster, and the common people who are officials are cost-effective?' It was because of these words that the minister remembered these numbers. Chen Jiyun is in the cardinal, and he can't see the subtleties of sharing the emperor's worries, and the dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty cannot escape the holy example. ”

He also wanted to apologize, but Qianlong interrupted and said, "Don't be punished for no reason." That's not your end! He sneered, "I have been rectifying the rule of officials here for many years, and I only care about Gao Heng Qiandu, these city fox and society rats, where did I think that there are so many feudal snakes in the provinces?" sent a document to Ah Gui and sent someone to Gansu to find out and verify. First, where did the collected money go, and second, who did the disaster relief money fall to? This matter is for Yin Jishan to do immediately! ”

"Yes!" Yin Jishan hurriedly replied, but did not get up "immediately". He was very angry and tired in Xi'an, and he was still frightened and angry, so he moved his waist while he was in arrears, and said calmly: "Before the slave was ordered to go to Shaanxi, he asked Fu Heng about the transfer of military grain. Fu Heng told him that Gansu had 827,500 stone of grain, and there were enough beans and wheat, so the slaves did not have to worry about military rations. 800,000 stone grains were worth about 2.5 million taels of silver in Jiangnan, and the price of the foot transported to Xi'an was five times. But when I went to the army, I saw with my own eyes that there were neither beans nor wheat, and some were just moldy rice! The minions also sent Yuan Mei to check on each library, and sent someone to review it three times. Emperor...... Gansu has no grain stocks at all! This matter has long been wanted to be played by the emperor, but Leer is sure that the grain has been relieved to the victims, and the discounted silver of 7 million stone is stored in the treasury, and it is necessary to check and ask for a decree to handle it. The slave was ordered to return to Nanjing, so he let go for the time being. Please ask the emperor to issue an edict at the same time, there are too many doubts in this......"

There are indeed too many "suspicions" here, more than 7 million stone grains are stacked up into a mountain, the "disaster relief" is gone, and the drought is reported to send money and grain, and it is also "disaster relief" -- more than seven or eight times the annual harvest of grain in Gansu Province has been "disaster relief"? Qianlong was suddenly angry. Hongday smiled and said: "Gansu people have such big bellies! Qianlong pressed the edge of the table and wanted to stand up, only to realize that he was kneeling cross-legged on the couch, shrugged his body, and said with a cruel smile: "I don't think so!" I'm afraid that there are also people who are hungry, because Wang Jiawang and Leerjin in Gansu have too big stomachs and too long hands! In a word: investigate! ”

At this point, Ji Yun knew that Wang Wangler's intention was finished. He was thinking about how to play Chen, Yue Zhongqi said in a deep voice: "The old slave has never been in charge of government affairs, and he is already dizzy when he hears it - Gansu is barren and poor, and the yield of wheat beans per mu is only one or two hundred catties, and these seven million stone grains fell from the sky?" The grain stock in Jiangnan is only about 10 million stones, right? "Dongmei Gong doesn't know the beginning and the end," Ji Yun looked melancholy, looked at Qianlong and said, "These seven million stone grains are donated to the prison, four years ago, Leer was still the governor, and he went on the road, saying that there were many merchants in Gansu in the past, and it was more convenient to buy grain nearby and donate to the prison than to go to Beijing to donate to the prison - this is an additional entry from the state, gathering grain on the spot and distributing it to the people, and the local rich families get silver for grain, and Gansu is very affordable." At that time, the emperor instructed that 'you should do whatever you want, and it is okay to do it properly'. Fifty-five taels of prisoners, a total of 150,000 grain donation prisoners in the past three years. It is strange to have grain and report disasters and ask for relief, and it is even more unbelievable that the grain is sold and the silver is collected in the treasury. This is really overturning, and the tricks of ghosts are endless! If the treasury collects 2.5 million silver, and the household department does not play, then the household department should be blown into ashes with one shot; If the money is confiscated...... The emperor must not be furious, then Wang Jiawang and Leer will not escape the crime of deceiving the king and misleading the country! ”

"I don't ...... Angry ......" Qianlong's face turned pale, his voice trembling with choked throats, "I don't have the strength to be angry, I just feel terrible and desolate...... In fact, I should have thought that if there was a disaster and the price of grain rose, fifty-five taels would be less than one prison quota; If there is a good harvest, why do we need disaster relief every year? Slaughtering the people, slaughtering the court, in turn, reporting the donation of grain! Bullying the king and misleading the country, I have to add a sentence of contempt and perversity! The terrible thing is that this is not one or two aspects of the big people who are dirty and corrupt, but the province...... Provincial capitals, prefectures and counties are 'united in their hearts' to cooperate and bully the king! But there is a conscience who plays it, how can anyone hide it from me so bitterly? Two lines of tears burst out of his eyes as he spoke, "I already understand the reason why they are trying to embarrass Yin Jishan!" Jishan was there for a day, and they were like sitting on pins and needles...... This is all reading the book of Confucius and Mencius, and the people who came out of the Jinshi among the people, the heaven and earth monarchs screamed loudly, and when they saw the money, they all became bloody flies! ”

He was overwhelmed with grief and wept. Everyone thinks for him, every day four watches get up to see people to do things until midnight, inside and outside the inside and outside of the civil and military affairs are not in one place to have an accident, a wave of unevenness and wave after wave, always want to rule the world to be pure and light on all sides, but there are always people everywhere who are specially opposite, everything is difficult to go well, and the emperor is really hard to get to this job...... I feel sorry for him, but I can't comfort him. Several ministers of military aircraft were guarding one side, and they were all tired and carcnew, and they were still leaking air in all directions, and they were strange and couldn't swallow this breath, and they felt sad and hot when they meditated on it. Wang Bayan had already wrung a handful of hot towels and carefully held them to Qianlong.

"This is different from Gao Heng's case." Qianlong rubbed his face, his mind settled down a little, his face was still very gloomy, he sat for a long time, his legs were a little numb, and he deceived his legs softly, and the little Sula eunuch knelt down to put on his boots for him, and paced slowly a few steps when he came down, and he had already received his sad face, and said in a sonorous tone with a slight trembling: "This is a provincial official colluding to cheat, a bit similar to the case of Shanxi Nuomin during the Yongzheng period, or even more than that." As far as reason is concerned, there is no reason for harming the people and bullying the king to invite merit and misleading the major affairs of the military state, and there is absolutely no reason for such a mad thief of the country and the people. This case was investigated and handled by Qin Cha led by Ah Gui, and it was revealed to the world that it was the King of Yitianxian! He is not afraid of death, why should I regret that the three-foot dragon spring is stained with blood? He looked up at the caisson on the top of the palace, as if he was looking at the sky through the house, and only after a long time did he sigh deeply, "'Governing with leniency' is to rest with the people, and the people will be rich and safe, not to raise carbuncles." The fox society rats that have been raised all over the world are fat and strong, and the Forbidden City has collapsed! Alas...... It seems that I am still cool and virtuous, and I can't feel my subordinates, so that the officialdom is so ghostly and unscrupulous! ”

Several courtiers originally sat upright and listened to his instructions, but at the end of these words of self-condemnation, everyone was terrified. Even Hongday, busy leaving his seat and bowing his head, he kowtowed again and again. Qianlong had to continue, when he saw Bu Yi coming in, he asked, "What's the matter?" Bu Yi saw that everyone was kneeling, and he knelt down and said: "The governor of Zhejiang, Wang Kangwang, wants to see his master!" ”

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives." A wicked smile flashed across Qianlong's face, "What's the matter with him?" ”

He didn't say anything, and the slave didn't dare to ask, but he saw a stack of old books, which seemed to be the ...... that had entered the imperial review."

Qianlong suddenly remembered that when he was in Ningbo, Wang Kangwang accompanied him, and he once said that there was a set of Song editions of Zhu Xi's annotated "Analects" in the Tianyi Pavilion collection, which was a pity, and he didn't expect him to get it for himself so quickly. But he had no interest in the Song version of the book at the moment, because he said coldly: "You go to pass the decree, he has an incident in the east window!" There is a will today, he and Leer are dismissed from their posts to listen to the investigation, and Liu Tongxun will send someone to inspect the family property. Leave the book to him for his own life! ”

"Wow!"

"Please wait!" Yin Jishan hurriedly waved his hand to stop, and nodded to Qianlong again and again, "What the emperor listened to today is the words of the slaves, and it is not ironclad evidence. In case there is no grievance among them, the slave will make the hundred officials of Gan Province panic and uneasy, and this crime will not be atoned for! Ask the emperor to find out and do it again! Ji Yun also said: "Wang Kangwang's case is confusing and extremely complicated. The minister lived with the heart of a villain, he heard that Yin Jishan was back, and he was afraid that the matter of Gan Province's donation to the prison would be exposed, so he came to see the driver for a trick and a trick, and the second for a visit. It is better to give him a pretense and accept his books, so that he can return to work with peace of mind. It seems that there is no need to startle the snake at this moment. ”

Qianlong thought for a while and said to Bu Yi: "You go and pass the decree!" When Bu Yi went out, Qianlong smiled bitterly and said: "You have to be cautious, just like Fukangan captured Cai Qi, you will be caught in a net." Isn't this a good idea? It's just that what secrets are there in officialdom now? If he does not take the position of the king, he will urgently report to Leer for 600 li, and when the minister of Qin sends him to Gansu, the confessions will be completed, and the accounts will be sewn up, and it will be doubly difficult to investigate! Only to dismiss him first, to disrupt their position, and to become a headless swarm of flies. As soon as the Qin mission arrived, although the matter was chaotic, it was easy to string their pipa bones! Yue Zhongqi said with a smile: "I can't imagine the appearance of rectifying the filthy officials and fighting a war." The slave listened, this is a surprise soldier directly attacking the old camp, the command of the Chinese army is disrupted, and then divided and annihilated. Qianlong smiled a little proudly and said, "This is more difficult than fighting!" On the battlefield, the enemy and me are clearly distinguished, they are all wearing court clothes and crowns, they are all acquaintances and old friends of the same year, it is not that I want to treat them as enemies, it is that the officials of this province and the court can't get by! If it is not rectified, and the provinces follow suit, the Qing Dynasty will be over. How can I easily ruin today's good situation and live up to the expectations of our ancestors and ancestors? ”

The crowd listened to the gossip and praised: "The holy candle shines, and the insight is thousands of miles!" "Miao Mo Yun Du Holy Bow Qingming!" "It's hard to hide the traitor!" …… Qianlong's mood gradually relaxed, looked at his pocket watch, and said in surprise: "It's almost time!" Today's discussion has forgotten the time - I don't have a banquet, you go to the room of the military aircraft department to eat, what should you do? The fifth child stayed to dine with me, and the queen mother and queen mother still wanted to see him. That's it, kneel down. ”

Everyone was already kneeling, and they all thanked each other and got up and resigned. Qianlong stopped Yue Zhongqi, but did not speak immediately, for a long time, patted Yue Zhongqi on the shoulder, and said suddenly: "The old general left by the previous dynasty, who can control the overall situation, is the only one left Dongmei Gong." Originally, they discussed that you could go back to rest, but stay to see if Lian Po can still eat. It seems that your body and spirit are no less than those of a few prime-aged scholars, and I am very pleased in my heart - this is the treasure of the country's dry city! Do you say, Old Five? Hongyang smiled: "Of course! The old guy is really good! Last time, the two of them were still discussing it, and a person in his seventies was still so strong, he dared to fill it with ginseng and deer antler velvet all day long? Except for the emperor, our brother's body can't compare with you! Yue Zhongqi said with a smile: "There are more than a dozen catties of ginseng given by the emperor, but I am willing to use a little when I stay up late." The slave is the golden knife career immediately, and the old soldiers eat meat, eat and practice the style of raising, and they are naturally strong. The master is a golden branch and jade leaf, how can he compare with the old catalpa tree that the slave keeps chopping? ”

"Don't be reluctant to use it, you have to use it, and I'll give you a few catties when I go back!" Qianlong smiled, "The Amur Sana I mentioned you said knows it in my heart. He is a wolf, ambitious, loyal, and now he is a useful person with him on the other hand. Your envoy is to assist Fu Heng in military affairs. Jinchuan and Shangxiazhan are the gateway to Tibet, and if you don't take care of it here, you will have to be troubled sooner or later. You can meet that Fan Po Duoyun, after all, you know each other well, and they are also convinced of you and easy to talk. There are two, one is that Salopun must face the guilt; The second is to ask the court for pardon after the crime, he is still Jinchuan old zha, and even the upper and lower pairs can be under his jurisdiction. Don't talk enough, leave room for bargaining. This mission is a great achievement. If Jin Chuan refuses to agree to the first one, then I have no choice but to use soldiers to the end and wash this place in blood. You don't have to say it directly, but you have to let Duoyun understand. Okay, I'll leave this mission to you......"

Yue Zhongqi was so excited that his blood was open, and he kowtowed with white hair and thanked him: "The slave has waited for three generations of masters, and he only asks for this old bone to sell his life to the master again!" Although please rest assured that the slave wants to learn the martial arts in front of Kangxi, so that the master can rejoice and know that the slave is not a complete waste! Qianlong laughed and said, "Then you can do it yourself!" Stretched out his hand to pick up Yue Zhongqi and sent him out of the dripping eaves outside the hall, Yue Zhongqi thanked him again and again, and retreated.

"The more I think about Gansu, the more important it is." Qianlong looked at Yue Zhongqi's back with a little fluttering footsteps and said to Hongday, "The military attache is still successful, from A Gui to Hailan Cha Zhaohui, a new stubble has risen, and Fukangan has also experienced a little success, and they all have a heart to make meritorious contributions." If you have this heart, you can't easily corrupt it. The civil servants are now drunk and drunk, and they are corrupted day by day...... If the rectification is not good, it will be difficult for me to sleep and eat! Today, I want to use the Gansu incident to kill a few feudal officials, depose him, and cheer up! After saying that, he turned around and entered the hall, Hongyang followed in, and said with a smile: "The military attache is not idle now, and there is less pressure on the flower heart." There is no measure for the performance evaluation of civil officials, and it is not easy to measure, and there are three things to promote and make a fortune all day long, and there is no good one! The emperor is now rectifying, and the courtiers seem to be still effective. First, the hearts of the people, there is a saying below, 'Daqingsheng, count Qianlong.' No one who spoke the drum words had no instructions, and they sang 'Taiping Year, Taiping Year, Heyan Haiqing'...... Liu Yong and Li Shiyao are all usable materials, and there are also people like Fukangan, who are trained and may be more capable than these military aircraft now. Ji Yun Agui is still in the prime of life, and he can still pay attention to looking for talents in scientific research, and the overall situation is still very good. The state and county government wants to cure the same color as clear as autumn water and as severe as frost is the situation Zhong Hairui, who has not seen it since the three emperors and five emperors, and the emperor does not seem to need to be overly anxious about this. Your good body and bones are the blessing of our Qing Dynasty! ”

Qianlong stood and listened, and said with a smile: "Although this remark is not without suspicion of welcome, it is generally good. If the central pivot is not bad, and the people are not bad, it is a hopeful situation. Fu Heng and Yin Jishan have been trained, and Ah Gui has to be trained again...... Maybe I'm too eager to be cured. But you need to understand that the more prosperous the times, the more careful you have to be. After the rule of Han Wenjing, there was Wang Mang's rebellion, after the rule of Tang Zhenguan, there was Wuzhou's rebellion, and after the reign of Kaiyuan, there was Tianbao's rebellion. As he spoke, he lost his smile. Hongyang said with a smile: "Since the emperor has been vigilant, he is actually already in the source of chaos. We won't have that kind of thing in the Qing Dynasty. Qianlong was silent for a while, listened to the chirping of the yellow oriole tree outside, and said with a smile: "You listen to it, 'The emperor is going to turn back!'" The emperor is going back! Actually, I really want to 'turn back' to rest and recuperate, and do nothing to cure the leisurely wandering, but it can't be done...... At least not yet...... Old Five, what should be said has been talked about a lot last night and today, you don't have to worry about anything, I'm just your own brother, who can be separated? Who can help you? I am going to give Liu Yong an edict, let him go to Liangzhou, Suzhou to investigate the Leer case, you don't have to go back to Beijing, you will meet him in Kaifeng, you can go through it yourself, the case is too serious......" Hongtian saw that Qianlong said solemnly, smiled, bowed down and replied: "Brother obey the order-" followed Qianlong into the palace, and also entered the Xinuan Pavilion.

The two brothers came in and saw that the Queen Mother was also there, sitting in front of the queen's couch, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking. When the palace maids in the house saw them entering together, they knelt down with a "sigh". Qianlong was stunned for a moment, grabbed a step forward and saluted, and said with a smile: "Lafayette is here!" Son, please say hello to you! Hongyang also saluted. Qianlong sneered at Qin Meimei and said: "I am in the Dongnuan Pavilion, Lafayette is here, why don't you say anything?" ”

"Rise up, Emperor! Hongyang also got up. The Queen Mother smiled, "I don't allow them to alarm you, and there is no sound of how many people can come in this hall." My wives speak at one end, and you speak at the other end, and don't disturb ...... two ends."

Qianlong and the two got up, and saw the eunuch coming in with a silver water bottle, Hongyang hurriedly asked to come over, Qianlong took a cup of Hongday tea, and respectfully offered it to the queen mother's hands. Hongday handed the bottle to the eunuch to take the cup himself, and placed it on the kang table next to the queen, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, please use it." The younger brother looked at the mother's complexion again, but it was still a little pale. When the sun is good outside, the spirit goes, and people are asked to walk around and bask in the sun. If you lie crooked like this, good people will get sick. Slowly it became tougher...... "The queen was half-crooked on the big pillow, her body squirmed and owed, and with a warm smile, she said: "His fifth uncle loves such a snake, snake, scorpion, and scorpion woman." Fifth brother of the emperor, please take a seat. I'm afraid I haven't eaten yet, right? The toon egg rolls, steamed dumplings with bean skin and green leeks, and a few dim sum brought by Lafayette were written by Wang Shi and Yangzhou cooks, and they all tasted good. Staying up late to do errands hurts your body, and it doesn't make it worse with an empty stomach! ”

"Okay, let's have some snacks." Qianlong smiled and nodded. Seeing Mo Ju coming over with a plate, he picked up a plate of gourd silk and made pot stickers and handed it to Hongday, "This one has a spicy taste, the fifth loves to see it, and enters it-" squeezed his eyes at his mother, "I'm really a little hungry," reached out to take the toon rolls, and said with a smile, "Why don't you do it?" The good ones have problems. It's not that in the early years, in a study, I stole my plum blossom cake, and said that there were rats in the study, and taught people to 'catch mice'! Everyone giggled. Hongyang took the bread in a sneering manner, and took a small bite and said, "This is the time of the time!" The emperor was furious that day, and his heart still has palpitations. If you want an inkstone to smash my dinner guy, I'll be lucky, who will go to Gansu to catch rats for you? ”

At this moment, Wang's Chen and other concubines heard that the emperor was coming, and they also rushed over to serve. Listening to his two brothers teasing and laughing, the two promised to step forward to beat the queen mother's back, the two often knelt in the couch to massage the queen, Yongyong was full of laughter - although it is a family, the Beijing palace is strictly forbidden to separate the inside and outside, and the walking residence follows the rules, and there can be no proportionate difference in the "ceremony"; Xia Jiangnan was a little casual, but Qianlong was so busy with official affairs that Qianlong was dizzy, and there were many things and eight things, which was twice as busy as in Beijing. The gossip is lively, some say that the scenery of Yangzhou is better than that of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and some say that it is a pity not to see the tide of Qiantang. Because I heard the Queen Mother laugh and said: "We old people in Manchuria are not used to living in the south. The first emperor even thought that Beijing was hot in summer. The emperor also suffered from heat stroke when he went to Henan. It's the first time I've come back, and I'm used to living here. Ask the locals, it's hotter in Nanjing. The Yangtze River has no June, in fact, it is also cool. Hongyang said funny: "I also asked, there is indeed a saying 'the Yangtze River has no June'." That's what it means? I'm still strange in my heart - dare to love Jiangnan after May is July? He pretended to be stupid and looked confused, which made the women laugh. The Queen Mother asked, "Aren't you going back to Beijing first?" Why did you go to Gansu again? ”

"I'm going to catch a mouse." Hongyang licked his lips with his tongue and said, "This time I will be a royal cat for the emperor." There are also Ah Gui and Liu Yong, each of whom went their own way to run a business trip. ”

Qianlong is particular about "food and silence", only smiling and chewing dim sum to listen to everyone's conversation, and casually used a few pieces of dim sum to drink a bowl of ** and then pushed away the plate. Because he saw his mother looking at him, Qianlong hurriedly smiled and said a little about Gansu's relief, "Wang Jiawang has already taken it here, and Leer is going to take it too, and he will kill this group of rats in one net and give Lafayette a birthday!" ”

"Amitabha, I don't like to see mice!" The Queen Mother sighed, "Although I don't care about these things, there are some minions outside who are lawless and messing around, and there are a lot of things that listen to Yin Jishan's family of Fu Heng's family." In this way, the emperor probably can't wronged them...... When Master Shi was there, your thirteenth uncle said that the official is 'one year clear, two years and three years old, digging graves and digging gold'. It is inevitable that things will happen after a long time, and the trees will be deep in the forest. It doesn't matter if you can think of this layer of caution. Just beat the mule and startle the horse, don't be too public, and point to them to do an errand when you come, don't startle the horse so much that you don't dare to go up; The two are making some noise, and they are not peaceful. Wang Kangwang I haven't seen it, his mother is full of understanding people, who looks kind and gentle, why is her son messing around? Alas......"

Qianlong listened to his mother's words, leaned over on the chair and said "yes". He was most worried that his mother would intercede and be kind, what "Qingshui Pond does not raise fish" and "It is auspicious to be with light and dust", it is best to take advantage of the "Buddha's heart" without catching one and not killing one...... The mother was relieved to be rich and honorable, and watched her son take care of the case. The general statute of leniency will remain unchanged, and it is necessary to wake up those officials and slaves who dare not indulge in being cautious and respectful, and will never interfere with the overall situation. He smiled and changed the subject, "Except for Niu Hulu and Wei Jia's, the family is complete today, and even the fifth child is here, let's say something happy, tell Lafayette and the queen a good news - Fukangan has made a great contribution outside!" ”

"Who?" The Queen Mother has been a little hard of hearing. The topic of "catching rats" is too heavy, and it is both murder and dismissal, and she firmly believes in the people who interpret Buddhism, no matter what, she is a little uneasy in her heart, and when she hears the "good news", a smile suddenly bloomed on her face, and she asked: "Which general has made meritorious service?" But the queen heard that it was her nephew who had made a meritorious service. One said that Qianlong and Tang'er had a kick she knew, and the other said that Fukangan rose, and her mother's family was more expensive and scorching, but she got her wish, the astringent sour taste was mixed with the honey aftertaste, and she smiled and said: "It's the third child of Fu Heng's family." Galeries Lafayette forgot again...... In the first half month before going to Haining, I met Lafayette in Tianning Temple a few times! What great contribution can he make to the emperor at such a young age? She didn't finish speaking, the Queen Mother already remembered, and said with a smile: "I remember, is it the brother who looks a little like a girl?" That's right, what great can such a small one do? ”

"This Fukangan Lafayette can look away." Hongyang smiled, "Lafayette has never heard of 'heroes from ancient times'? The Battle of Yiling in Shu Han and the Battle of Qin, Jin and Jin, all of which were commanded by young generals to defeat the strong with the weak and win more with less, and the hundreds of thousands of people in Fu Jian were defeated and retreated to Bagong Mountain. He prepared a detailed account of the victory of Fukangan Zaozhuang in the suppression of bandits according to Ge Xiaohua's letter 1510. To the critical knots of the buckle to add branches and leaves to polish the description, plus the amusement of the suspense, said the twists and turns of the heart, the race is like a drum first teahouse storytelling, the room full of women listened to it fascinated. At the end, he sighed: "This battle is very dangerous to think about. As long as the opportunity is not secret, the slightest rumor is leaked, or the slightest negligence in the arrangement, it is extremely easy for Cai Qi and them to break through. Once this big insect rushes out, tens of thousands of good people in Zaozhuang will not be able to escape the catastrophe. Occupy the mountains as the king, or wander the provinces to attack the city and plunder the land to commit crimes, the court does not know how many swords and money it will cost to suppress it! Lafayette, since ancient times, it is common practice to kill 10,000 people and lose 3,000 in wars; Suppressing bandits does not hurt good people, and that is not a thing. It's rare for him to fight in the plains villages, and do it so neatly! This child usually only sees good articles, good words, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has the ability to never forget, I originally thought to be a civil servant material, who knew that the army was as quiet as a virgin and moved like a rabbit, and it was actually a hairpin disciple who was both civil and military! This is all the emperor's and queen's Hong Fuze quilt, Fu Heng's godson is well-organized, and he has to have such a talent! I think that the extermination of Cai Qi is still secondary, regardless of who it is, when Cai Qi will finally be captured. It's rare to meet this talent! and Liu Tongxun's son Liu Yong, who can become the pillar of our Qing Dynasty! ”

He even said that he was boasting and holding the farts of the Yingying, and his eyebrows flew and danced. How many women have ever heard of this? Some were stunned and some were stupid, sometimes fascinated, sometimes frowning, looking at this mouthful prince, one by one, and they were amazed, until he finished speaking, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The queen leaned on the pillow and smiled: "His fifth uncle is really poor!" Although we have never heard the drum speak first, when we were young, the eldest brother came back to tell our sister that he was not as good as the fifth brother, and when he heard the critical moment, he said, 'I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown', and I have to beg him to continue. You guys are looking at the excerpt outside, dare to love that what is said in the excerpt is an ancient record? It's just too short--" coughing as he spoke, and when he held the handkerchief and looked at it, there was blood in the sputum, and when he saw that everyone was not paying attention, he covered the handkerchief and stuffed it into his sleeve.

"Kang'er is so capable?" The Queen Mother was so happy that her face was full of smiles, "It can be seen that there is a kind of dragon and phoenix, and he has the ability to follow his father's civil and military skills!" The poor brother who is so golden and noble, and he is still young, knows that he has made meritorious contributions to the imperial court. I thought he was still young, but he was willful and disobedient, and he didn't feel at ease when he came out to be on duty. Now it seems that it is a billet that does great things again! Qianlong smiled and said: "Now I am going to send Liu Yong to Gansu, and I have the courage to let Fukangan tour a few provinces alone, which is also a means of making jade into a tool." This will just give an order to praise, it is not appropriate to promote him to an official, and he will have to talk about his merits one by one when he returns to Beijing, and then he will talk about it at that time. Like Kang'er, he is destined to be an official as soon as he falls into the grass, and it is not uncommon for an official to be an official. As soon as I think of the old man of the Eight Banners in Beijing, the elder brother of the Yellow Belt Sect of the meritorious son, I am upset, you call him to blow the ancestors, all of them are ready-made, tell him to play with birds and walk around the temple fair and sit in the teahouse, generally the dragon and the phoenix grandson are magnificent, teach him to live and recuperate and come out on errands, all of them are waste stupid protein idiots two hundred and five! Lao Wu's words: Lying and bragging, doing errands, wetting the bed, brushing ......" said and laughed himself.

The crowd laughed and leaned back and couldn't stand. The Queen Mother said: "I heard your sixteenth uncle Fu Jin come in and say that some of his children are already poor and have to be wide, and the tea leaves brewed in the teahouse must be brought back, dried and washed next time, and a pot of residual tea and a sesame cake will be brewed for a day." It is said that there was a person who had sesame seeds on the cake and fell on the tea table, pretending to write on the table, and filled his mouth with saliva one by one, but one of the sesame seeds fell into the crack of the table, and he couldn't stick it out in a hurry. He pretended to think about words, tilted his head and thought for a long time, then slapped the table and said, 'There is!' Then the sesame seeds will pop out! In the laughter of everyone, Hongyang also came to make fun and said: "There is a child who is very poor, and he went to the tailor shop and said that he would mend the needle nose." The tailor was happy to hear that he could make up for it, and he took the needle and asked him to make it up, and he said, 'Take the half of the broken nose, and I'll make it up for you!' ’”

"This killing is really a hob meat material! Where can you use this mind? Qianlong laughed, thought about it and sighed, "The livelihood of the flag man is a big deal, and the Queen Mother Lafayette is also very concerned." A number of good ones were fought in the war, like Gui Zhaohui, Hailancha and Le Min, who should not be angry, but still not angry, thinking about it, there is no way to take them! "This can't be done in a day or two, and the emperor is anxious about it." The Queen Mother also smiled and said, "In the early years of Kangxi, I passed through the hands of the first emperor, and I thought of many methods, but it was useless." Fortunately, this is a big matter but not a rush matter, take it easy, and slowly have a solution. Qianlong hurriedly smiled and said, "Mother said yes." ”

Everyone laughed for a while, each relaxed and happy, and even the queen's face was bloody. When she saw Hongtian getting up to leave, she advised: "His fifth uncle, you are going to Gansu, the road is far away, the land is bitter and cold, you have to be careful." Take two capable minions...... People who go out are not as good as at home, and everything is easy to take care of. Hongyang hurriedly bowed down and said, "Brother Xie Niangniang takes care of it." I have nothing to do and go out often, so there will be no problems. Niangniang just rest assured that she will be raised, and her brother will return to Beijing after completing a business trip, and her body will be tough, and she will be happy to greet you! Then he turned his face to the Queen Mother and said: "The famous licorice and yarrow from that place, I will carry a large bundle for Lafayette and Niangniang, and brew it as tea to drink, which can nourish yin and nourish the spleen." Both the Queen Mother and the Queen laughed.

"Your safety is also important." Qianlong said with a deep groan, "This time I went out to handle the Qin case, not an ordinary tour. Go to Liu Tongxun and choose two of Huang Tianba's subordinates to follow. White Arowana can be deceived by crabs and shrimps, you don't take it as a child's play. The Queen Mother asked: "Listening to the eunuch talk about Huang Tianba all day long, my ears are calloused." said that it can fly the eaves and walk on the wall dart to hit the incense head or something, which is not bad with the 'three heroes and five righteousness'. With such great ability, why didn't he change his military position and send him to fight in the west? I heard that he was sealed as a lieutenant of the Che Cavalry, and his position is still just a Taoist? Qianlong said with a smile: "Lafayette wants to see his plays, go back to Beijing and enter the Old Summer Palace and ask him and his twelve apprentices to give you a drill." Because he detailed the scene of the competition between Huang Tianba and Gai Yinghao in Mochou Lake, he said: "This is a group of rivers and lakes. Sending troops and horses pays attention to marching formations, food supply, and understanding the art of war and leading troops in order to fight in the field. Compared with Huang Tianba and Ah Gui Zhaohui Hailancha, they can only be regarded as a dog. Dogs have the use of dogs, the gatekeeper hunting is still successful, the protection is meritorious, and he has to feed him some good things to eat, the ticket is going to come out, and he will be promoted to baron! If you are sent to a military position, you can't. Liu Tongxun and Liu Yong are like the people I sent out to hunt, they are the minions of the eagle dogs, and when they see where there are jackals, foxes, rabbits, yellow sheep, elks or something, they pounce on them with a gesture and a look. This is the difference between talents, minions, and dogs......"

Before he finished speaking, the Queen Mother and the others had already laughed. The Queen Mother said: "Buddha! Dare to have such a great knowledge? Only then did I understand that there were still a few things for these people outside! In fact, some people are not as reliable as dogs. The dog named 'Lulu' of the first emperor hung a silver plaque around his neck, which was a share of one or two silver a day, which was comparable to the fortune of two first-class officials. I told the first emperor that it seems to be too thick. The first emperor said that this is a meritorious dog, and he has the credit of protecting the sky, and he can't be treated lightly. The poor beast is also an idiot: every day when the first emperor beats Ruizaoxuan, it has to go over and make love for a while. The first emperor died and it didn't know it, so he waited at Xuankou every day, and when he saw the eunuch coming out, he went up, thinking that the first emperor was going to come out, but he was lying down again, and there were tears in his eyes, and he died in less than half a year...... Isn't it spiritual! As he spoke, he wiped away tears. Qianlong listened to her talk about Lu Lu from Huang Tianba, wiped her tears in vain, and hurriedly said: "Mother, why bother? At the end of the day, it's just an animal. followed the first emperor, it was its creation! You feel pitiful, it may be full of pride in front of the first emperor - it was the first emperor who summoned it to wait for the reliever! The Queen Mother laughed again: "It's because I'm old and obscure, and I don't think about things." At that moment, the women changed the topic again, gossiping about the return of the wheel, an old woman in a certain place ate fasting and recited Buddha, and at the age of sixty, Guanyin sent her child; Where too much slaughter and slaughter leads to drought; Dong Yongcheng is filial piety, and the fairy is married; Thunder struck the tree from the sky, killing the old centipede in the tree, and the centipede had the words "Qin Hui XVII body" on its body...... And so on and so forth. At dinner time, Qianlong wanted to eat together, but this day was Guanyin's birthday, and the queen mother and concubines had to fast.

Qianlong knew that the queen would also have a sacrifice and prayer, and after the people went, he helped the queen to lie down quietly, asked for ** in person, looked at her hot clothes, and said with a smile: "I really stirred you up today, there has never been so many people sitting for so long." I see that you are in good spirits, and that is a strong support. If you have the homework of chanting sutras and reciting Buddhas, you should also stop for a while, and if your heart is so pious, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will not care about your mantras. The queen looked at her husband and shook her head slightly, and said: "I vow to copy one hundred copies of the Diamond Sutra, and I have already copied seventy copies in a few years, and I will only recite the Bodhisattva Buddha number one hundred and eight times tonight. In the future, I will be gone, reward our brothers and those who believe in Buddhism in the clan, you can also keep a mind......" Before she finished speaking, Qianlong had already reached out to cover her mouth, and sighed: "Look at you, you see, it's here again, isn't it?" Just copy and read, why say these unlucky words? After some relief, he slowly came out, went to the front hall to use the imperial meal, and saw that the sky was already dark, and called Wang Bayan to take care of the desk and asked, "Whose sign is it today?" Don't be like last time, tell people to wait in vain. ”

"Back to the master," Wang Ba said with a smile, "The brand box was sent over at noon, and the long live lord was seeing people, saying wait--you haven't turned over the brand yet." As he spoke, he brought over the green head box. Qianlong thought for a while and said: "Let's turn over Chen's, she is an honest person, she never fights with others, and she can't make honest people suffer too much." Wang Bashi agreed and wanted to go over to deliver the decree, but Qianlong stopped: "It's not interesting for you to tell her that you know." After a while, I gave these excerpts out and went straight to her to give her a surprise. After that, he helped the pen to wet cinnabar, and approved the text on the fold one by one.

Because they will sail back to Beijing tomorrow, the Military Aircraft Department has already issued an edict, and all the folds will be transferred to Ah Gui, the minister of military aircraft left in Beijing, except for the direct delivery of military information theft and flood disasters. Therefore, it seems that the files are piled up in a high pile, all of which are the original and unimportant public documents, some of them are asked for peace, and some of them are reported to the customs for the distribution of money, and the provincial state and county officials fill the vacancies and distribute them...... And so on, although they are not urgent matters, the prefecture and county appointments are still attentive. Qianlong saw that there were no eunuchs around, stretched out and yawned, and went out of the palace to see that the Manxing Palace was already full of lights, because he said to Wang Ba who was guarding the door: "Tell Bu Li to send the excerpt to the military plane." Then he moved to Chen's residence.

Chen actually lived in the same courtyard as the queen. The southernmost end of the east chamber under the queen's main sleeping palace, and then to the south is the young man's room where the Wang family often cooks. The noble concubine Nala originally lived in the West Chamber, she loved to be lively, and the queen was afraid that she would be detained here, so she lived in a single courtyard in the north of the palace. Therefore, half of the palace courtyard is lit up at the moment, and only two or three eunuchs and palace maids live in the south of the west chamber, and they all go out to watch the night, and it looks a little gloomy under the dark old trees. Wang Bayan looked through the crack in the door, turned around and whispered, "Master Chen is meditating!" Master, please come in! ”

Qianlong nodded, came in without saying a word, and saw a picture of Guanyin hanging on the wall, a small white wooden table under the wall with a few vegetarian snacks, and a blessing orange, pineapple, apple, lychee, and fruit, and a small copper incense burner in the middle, burning three incense sticks around it. Chen sat facing the wall, folded his hands, and said something in his mouth. But it's the Heart Sutra

When the Bodhisattva of Freedom is walking in the deep Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering. Relics, the color is not different from the empty, the empty is not different from the color, the color is empty, and the empty is the color......

Qianlong saw that she was reading attentively, and did not alarm her, carefully sat on the chair by the window, and examined the silhouette of Chen's under the lamp, only to see her wearing a lotus-colored pleated skirt, the upper body of the moon-white gown with tight sleeves and short placket, the leader's placket rolled with gold threads, a cloud-like hair just bathed, like a black waterfall hanging straight down to the skirt spread on the ground, a person in his thirties, with a waist and breasts shrugged slightly, and a tender cheek and pink neck under the lamp, like a virgin. Qianlong still summoned her once before leaving Beijing, wearing the bottom of a flower pot, a cheongsam and a sweat towel, with a protruding chest and belly, compared with the description at this moment, it is really different...... Thinking about it, she couldn't help but get angry, and wanted to get up to play, but she couldn't help it, and when she read it again, she coughed lightly and said with a smile: "What a picture of a lady's worship, you are so pious, Guanyin Bodhisattva is going to give you a son!" ”
