In the following years, there was nothing to do, the sun, moon, stars, and corners of the world were all unstoppable, and in the 60th year of Qianlong, the schedule of the Zen Rang Great Gift had to be mentioned under the attention of the government and the opposition. During this period, Fukangan wanted to slowly withdraw from the ** several times, but the world was different from Qianlong forty years ago, not only eventful and slightly turbulent, often extinguished with the power of the dynasty, when Fukangan went to Wuhan, in October Annan civil strife, the widow Ruan Hui was ordered by the royal family to defect, the court ordered Sun Shiyi to send troops to Jiaolu to conquer Zhenping, and fought for three years, not only did not win, but also almost put the old life in, burned all the heavy firearms and ammunition on the spot, and fled back to Zhennanguan with a few and a half defeated soldiers. The imperial court had no choice but to use Fukangan again, although Fukangan had already fought at this time, but his name was too big, and the enemy was really cunning and scoundrel, and he had not yet gone to Guangzhou, and had already sent an envoy to apologize and beg for surrender. The imperial court calculates the winners and losers, and will only turn a blind eye, and even crown the traitorous king of Annan as the king of Annan. In November of the 56th year of Qianlong, the Gurkha of Nepal entered Kouhou Tibet from the south of Mount Meru, which is different from the disease of scabies in Annam, and it is impossible to be sloppy if you want to. Looking at the civil and military officials, the only ones who can fight are Fukangan and Hailancha. In June 57, Fukangan and Hailancha transferred Zhaohui's original subordinate troops, with 60,000 troops from Qinghai to Houzang, the first battle in April, defeated the troops of the Gurkhatun boundary, recovered the lost territory of Houzang, and launched a large-scale counterattack in June, the former captain of Hailancha drove straight into Nepal, and the Fukangan army followed. Nepal was infatuated and was still waiting for the British to come to help, but the Qing army was pressing the border, and they had no choice but to bow down again. This is the last battle of Fukangan's lifelong resistance to external troubles, and he also used all his strength to eat milk, all relying on the strong combat power of the Tianshan Banner Battalion, the full availability of firearms, and the joint efforts of the veteran Hailancha, plus the Nepalese soldiers are all monk soldiers, do not eat and fight, and kneel on the ground to pray for God's blessing when they see firearms, so that Tibet is safe and sound. Rao is so, after this battle, Fukangan has exhausted his muscles and exhausted, Hailancha is even more miserable, and he returned to Xining, Qinghai and died of heart attack. The news reached Beijing, and the court mourned, and the edict ordered Hailan to enter the Zhaozhong Temple. This is an unprecedented honor, the spirit card in the Zhaozhong Temple is like a forest, and there is only one Hailancha who does not enter the shrine with the death of the battle. At this moment, Ding E'er is already a white-haired mother-in-law, Zhaohui asked someone to carry her to Hailancha Mansion, lying on the chair and sedan chair, but she just burst into tears, and she couldn't say a word. This is how the old brothers of the "red-robed two-gun general" ended.

Fukangan returned to Beijing with ten horsemen alone, and it was the autumn and September of the 60th year of Qianlong. He is a triumphant prince, although he did not lead a large army to show off his might, as usual, the emperor wants to "welcome in the suburbs". The former Su Fengtai has been ordered, "I am old, and the fifteenth son of the emperor, Prince Jia, led all the princes and princes and hundreds of civil and military officials to Luhe Station to welcome Fukang'an to return to the dynasty in triumph, with the emperor's honor guard." Chin this! ”

On the second day, Fukangan took the honor guard of honor sent by Shuntianfu, and there were hundreds of soldiers from the battalion who were in front of him, and ten Goshha were all in the rank of Qinfeng general, all wearing new yellow coats in front of the enlightenment, holding the Yue, knots, stirrups, axes, flags, and cards, and in the middle of the Huangding Sixteen people carried the sedan chair to Luhe. It's not the first time Fukangan has sat in this sedan chair, and he is still a little cramped and uneasy, and he keeps opening the sedan curtains inside to look out. He pondered for a moment and ordered to "stop the sedan chair", carrying the corners of the robe and standing in the wind, taking a deep breath as if gathering strength, and ordered: "Except for the victory drum, the rest of the drum music has stopped." Ten more Goshha Dao were recruited, "This is the time for the Son of Heaven." The yellow jacket was worn along the route by order, and now it is all taken off. After all the honor guards, guided by your ten people, we walked! ”

"Wow!"

The generals agreed in unison. Fukang Anzang's wrinkled face carved by the wind outside the border plug was not easy to notice for a moment, and he sighed secretly in his heart, but his tone was still unquestionable, and said: "Take off the saber and walk a little slower!" Listening? The generals here agreed, and the horns and cannons on the Luhe Post side have been drummed, and the voices of Huang Zhong, Taituan, Wu Shot, Gu Xi, Rui Bin, and Da Lu are playing in unison. Looking at Fukangan and his entourage, sixty-four Changyin Pavilion worshiped and sang in the throat, but it was "Martial Arts":

Martial arts, Zhuqiu sue. Licheng stationed, Lu Bu Shi reported, and the Ming edict was rewarded...... Respect the good and return to the beauty, and respect the emblem. Pro-system Ji Gongjie, Le Taixue, the first meritorious officer, Yan Ziguang, Tu Qi's appearance......

In the chanting, Yan Yan took the lead, and the rest of the sons have died one after another, followed by a large number of civil and military officials, led by Ji Yun, and the heron walked and walked to meet him. Before Yan Yan could speak, Fu Kangan had already prostrated himself on the ground, and kowtowed again and again: "Slave Fu Kang'an respectfully invites Sheng'an!" ”

"St. Ann!" Yan Yan was dressed in a four-ball dragon coat, calmly looked at Fukang Andai Tianzi and replied.

"Say hello to the fifteenth master, and say hello to all the masters!"

"We're all good, you're welcome." Yan Yan changed his smiling face, stepped forward to hold Fukangan with both hands, and ordered the hundred officials to rejoice, shook his hand and shook it, and said: "We have been in one place since we were children, remember to climb the tree to pick pomegranates, and ask you to stand on my shoulders to pick, you keep the two big ones, and give me the small ones...... It's nearly forty years in a flash. Fukangan heard that he even remembered such a trivial matter, and shook his hand in a panic: "At that time, I was young and ignorant, and Ama beat me ten boards!" Yan Yan just smiled and said, "The wind and rain years are still like this!" You are a horse, I ride a horse that Chenguang, who would have thought that you are really a thousand miles of horses in the Qing Dynasty? You're thinner, darker, and your hands are calloused, so it's really hard for you. The last time I met with Magorny, he said that he would build a church in Beijing, and I said that you should go to Nepal to build it, and as long as Fukangan agreed, I had nothing to say. He said, 'I am afraid of General Fu. You're scared of the British! ”

He said on the side, Fukangan thanked him again and again: "This is the emperor's Hongfu was dispatched in all directions, and the fifteenth master was in the middle, how could Fukangan be in the middle...... "The hand tried to be pulled out of Yanyan, but Yanyan refused to let go, and said with a smile: "Old partner, why bother with that ceremony?" He waved his hand and called Ji Yundao: "Xiaolan Gong, tell the Ministry of Rites to use a feast to calm the music, don't brag too much, it's better ......to be peaceful" Ji Yunlong Zhong agreed and ordered to come over to see the ceremony, and said with a smile: "The minister is old and old, and his eyes are still in the middle of the envoy, and the banquet is specially steamed, and the fifteenth master Fuye loved to eat when he was a child, please use it." Fukangan was surprised: "What did you say, why did I hear it confused." Ji Yun said: "I mean, I always sell rice cakes, and I specially steamed rice cakes on the table." The crowd burst into laughter. Fukangan felt that Yan Yan's temperament had become much more cheerful, and his words and conversations were more cordial and easy-going than before, and he felt a little calm, because he saw Ah Gui also coming over, and said with a smile: "Lao Gui, look at your steady steps, what kind of kung fu are you practicing?" It's a brutal spirit, and the crane has a childish face! - Why don't you see Hexiang and Liu Yong? "The emperor is in the Old Summer Palace today, Liu Yong is on duty at the military aircraft department, and He Shen accompanied him to guard the garden...... "A Gui said, "There is something going on in Miao Jiang, there are a few Miao chiefs who rebelled, we will welcome you first, if the matter is not resolved, I am afraid you will have to go to Guizhou!"

"I'm not going to talk about this today." Yan Yan seemed to be more casual and easy-going, let go of Fukangan, and walked towards the middle of the shed, and said with a smile, "Although Xiaolan Gong always sells rice cakes, he also sells funny!" Last time at my place, the old master Ji Jin cried poor, saying that there were too many sons and could not afford to raise them, Ji Xiaolan said, 'I am not afraid of too many sons'; Xiaolan turned her head and comforted, saying, 'Why do you need more good sons'? ——Ji Lao is clear in his heart! Everyone laughed. Fu Kangan asked: "I'm outside, and I heard people in the teahouse say that Ji Gong called Long Live Lord a 'old man' to his face, but there are some people?" ”

Ji Yun followed into the table, looked at the delicacies on the table, shook his head and inhaled the fragrance with his nose, and said in surprise: "Ah! It smells so good...... It's a pity that we can't let go of gluttony today! - Yes, yes, my student is still a courtesy in front of the king - it was this summer, when the dog days were flowing gold, I was in the Wenhua Palace to check the "Siku Bibliography", the weather was so hot that I couldn't stand it, so I wrote shirtless. Suddenly, there was a message outside, 'Long live the Lord is coming,' and then I heard the footsteps approaching, and in a hurry, I crawled under the table where the case files were kept......"

Everyone has heard of this matter, and it has been spread to the gods, and it is the first time I have heard Ji Yun talk about it, and several ministries and courtyards are standing under the shed, standing respectfully, and they have also listened to God. Ji Yun continued: "Who knows that Long Live Lord has excellent eyesight, and he has already seen it. Without saying a word, he sat across from him and read a book. …… The outside of the table was covered with cloth, and it was dark and stuffy and hot, and I couldn't hold back it inside, and I couldn't hear any movement, so I stuck my head out and asked the students, 'Is the old man gone?' I was stunned without saying anything, and the emperor was sitting opposite! had to arch out and kowtow naked to apologize.

"As soon as the emperor put the book down, he asked me: 'Don't say that you lost your honor in front of the king, how do you say the word "old man"? So I kowtowed and said those three sentences: 'The heavens and the earth are old for thousands of years; All living beings are extremely noble as "heads"; The pride of the sky is called the "son", and he is collectively called the "old man". Ji Yun said with a smile, "The folklore of Long Live Lord was furious, saying, 'The old man's three words are disrespectful to his ministers, and he is guilty of bullying his ministers', and he also said that he called a knife and axe hand to ask for a beheading at noon, but Qi Dongye's words were not enough to report credit." In fact, the emperor has a smile on his face, which makes me happy! With that, everyone laughed. Ji Yun went to the table to think about the rank, sat down to the first place on the left, and turned his face to see Wang Erlie standing next to the pillar, and said with a smile: "Fifteenth master, Erlie is your master, and he is also the one who shakes the pen, and he has also followed me, so sit next to me, right?" Seeing that Yan Yan nodded, he patted the chair and greeted Wang Erlie: "Hey, the offspring, come!" Accompany the old man to sit high - give a bowl of oolong tea from Taiwan to Master Wang. He also smiled and said Fukangan, "This is thanks to you!" ”

So everyone sat down one after another - it was arranged by the officials of the Ministry of Rites who stayed up all night, and there was no half-point difference pool - the top was Yan Yan, next to it was Fukangan, the right was Ah Gui, the left was Ji Yun and Wang Erlie, and the lower head was accompanied by the three princes such as Hao Ying - there was only one table in the middle of the front shed, and the rest of the wild geese were lined up in the empty field outside the Luhe Station, and they were also properly arranged by the Ministry of Etiquette. There is no need to go into details. Ah Gui sat down and said with a smile: "Lao Ji is in the limelight today, and the words are all robbed by you." The older you are, the more you talk and the more crooked your words become. Ji Yun said: "The older you get, the more stuffy you are, who sealed your mouth?" Ah Gui was robbed by him, and he didn't care, only took a sip of tea and said: "Good water, good tea!" It's hard to drink the new oolong tea of Taiwan Gong in this autumn! Fukangan had actually drunk this tea a long time ago, pretending to be surprised to look at the tea with a cup, and said, "New tea in autumn? It's a Yuquan landscape again, and it must be a good mouth! He also took a sip and praised, "How can you eat this tea and this water outside!" ”

"From the fifty-fourth year of Qianlong, Fujian pays twelve baskets of tribute every year." Ji Yun smiled and said to Fukangan, "I have paid tribute to autumn tea since last year." It's hard to believe that this oolong is picked by the tea girl one by one in autumn, and the tea worker is raised in the flower room upside down. Famous tea and water, long live the lord and the fifteenth master are very fond of using it! ”

Yan Yan coughed lightly on the main seat, and everyone stopped talking and laughing, and the sheds outside gradually quieted down. Ge Xiaohua, the Han Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, is newly appointed and has been standing at the entrance of the shed to manage the master of ceremonies. Look at the scene in the shed, and sing loudly:

"Prince Jia set up a feast on behalf of the Son of Heaven to welcome the triumphant return of the prince of Fukangan County! Thanksgiving, all the ministers, don't kneel and worship! ”

"Long live my emperor, long live!"

The civil and military officials of all the sheds outside the Luhe Station, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites waiting outside the sheds, got up and shouted:

"The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

In the sound of the mountain, the fine music rises slowly, and the meat, bamboo, drought and thunder beat briskly. Yan Yan pressed his hands to stop the pleasure for the time being. He raised his voice and said: "King Fujun is my treasure of the Qing Dynasty!" With the body of a hundred battles, he personally conquered Taiwan, and personally conquered Houzang, and won successive battles, and the purple light of the bamboo silk pattern was meritorious! Not only has the representative of the emperor Ama suburbs, I would like to welcome this glass of wine, for the king of Fujun! He covered his hand and said, "Cheers!" ”

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

……

There was a clinking of glasses in the sheds, and the squeak of fine porcelain lips. The person who went to the shed did it, and Fukangan had no choice but to accompany him, and he held the pot and poured wine in a panic, and said: "I dare not disobey the holy order, but this credit is really difficult to live in, and I must ask Prince Jia to perform it on my behalf." I advise the second cup, for Prince Jia's birthday, for all the princes here Belle's blessing! This is also the proper meaning of the question. During the banquet, everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Prince Jia. Yan Yan also drank it, and said: "We should also have a drink for Hailancha and the fallen soldiers!" As he spoke, he bowed lightly from his glass. The people in each shed also did the same. Only Fukangan knows the taste, and when he got up, tears were already pouring out of his eyes, but this was not the time to feel sad, so he was busy wiping away his tears and forcing his face to be respectful and respectful.

But this kind of feast is different from friends and family to set up wine and frolic, and the manners are in a way that allows the wine to be disciplined everywhere, and "keeping etiquette is not disobedient" is its purpose, and talking and laughing are also the set of benevolence and virtue of the emperor, and the sin and fear of the queen of heaven. In any case, it's just a "perfunctory" word, and the ceremony is over. Everyone Yongyong Mumu talked a lot, and after three rounds of drinking, Yan Yan said: "I still have to go to the study of Shanningju, I have something to do." I haven't said hello to the emperor today. Fukangan hurriedly resigned from the table and said, "I have nothing at home, how about sending the fifteenth master back?" ”

"It's fine." Yan Yan smiled faintly, "I don't know much about Miao Jiang, let's talk about it." It's not good to eat this meal, so I'll use it for dinner—sit in my sedan chair, and let's go together!" Ge Xiaohua shouted: "Licheng!" Congratulations to Prince Jia and the princes to drive back! So the hundred officials came to "send off" again, and watched Yan Yan and Fukang Anxun thank them for going to the sedan chair before they went home.

At this time, Qianlong was still hesitating alone in the area of Baoyue Tower in the east gate of the north gate of the Shuangzha of the Old Summer Palace. He Shenyuan said that he would come to accompany him, and when he met, he asked to go to Qingfan Temple to give Qianlong incense, but he has not come back yet. Qianlong has been more and more fond of walking alone recently, and all the guards and eunuchs who followed him were chased away by him, and only Huaichun Sichun was taken to enjoy in the garden.

What a beautiful autumn it is! Looking south from the high port of the forest area, it is a dense layer of dense trees that cover the sky and the sun, cypress, pine, and bamboo are old forests, or dark green or dark green or light green wrapped in the sea of miscellaneous trees, maple, elm, persimmon, poplar, willow ...... Endless deciduous trees are frost-dyed and frozen at night, red, ochre, crimson, pink, golden...... The bright colors are mixed, and the breeze sweeps through the shadows of the trees, swaying, as if they are making the last display of life, and like trying to find an opportunity to continue life. Looking west through the forest sea, you can see the west mountain under the blue autumn sky, which is emerald and colorful, a bit like the eyebrows of a young woman with new makeup, gently touched by the god of creation. There are also many high-rise pavilions in the trees, but compared with the Gege Mansion and the renovated Qingfan Temple outside the park, it is a little less charming, and it also owes a little grandeur...... The wind from the north carried the dampness of the sea and the west wind drifting through, and the leaves of the trees fell like countless colorful butterflies, rising and falling, unwilling to be lonely on a patchwork of cobblestone paths or grass......

Qianlong silently walked to the ditch at the edge of the garden on the velvet grass that had become tough, and picked a clean bluestone to sit down. The autumn grass on the straight embankment is half withered and yellow, and even the hedges outside the embankment are withered, and the leaves are occasionally turning lonely and lonely. The water is still murmuring, so clear that you can see small rocks and gravel at the bottom of the canal and small fish trying to swim, and there are also unknown leaves and grass knots floating on the water. The dark tree trunks of the woods seem to be lightly shrouded by a layer of cold mist, except for the wind passing through the leaves, so deep that you can't see through the bottom, and in the mysterious silence, you can only hear the sun-day-buzz-buzz of the grass insects,—— I don't know whether it is courtship or food......

Qianlong looked at this scene, lowered his gray thick eyebrows, fumbled in the other sleeve with one hand, and after a while, he took out a piece of Xue Tao paper, unfolded it and glanced at it, and wrote:

The South Garden is desolate and the West Garden is deserted,

Light clouds and autumn trees fill the palace walls.

Origin of the Son of Heaven for hundreds of generations,

refuses to be the emperor.

He read it silently, and put it back in his sleeve. Huaichun broke Cen Silence and asked on the side: "Your Majesty, what is written on this paper?" You've seen it three times. ”

"I'm going to be the emperor when I write it." Qianlong replied in a daze, "It's up to my son to be in charge." ”

"I remember it was sent to an adult. Did he write it? ”

"No, he can't write such poems. It was written by Zheng Banqiao. ”

Zheng Banqiao...... It's a Hanlin, right? ”

"No, you can't write such poems in the Hanlin Academy."

Qianlong shook his head again, and Si Chun next to him covered his smile and said, "The emperor can afford it, it must be very good!" This person's name is so strange, there is a banqiao in our hometown, it is crooked, there must be a 'positive' banqiao in his area - he must be Li Bai's jinshi of the same year! Qianlong smiled when he heard this, and said: "Zheng Banqiao is from this dynasty, and Li Bai is from the Tang Dynasty, how can he be the same year?" You can make lyrics and tunes, but you don't read – a thousand years wrong...... However, there was a Tang Xuanzong in the Tang Dynasty, but he was of the same age as Li Bai, and he was not examined, so I'm afraid it's about the same - it's Emperor Tang Ming, you know? ”

"Emperor Tang Ming, I know!" Huaichun clapped his hands in surprise and smiled, "It's the ancestor of the drama, who sings ugly." Now the opening stage of the singing opera is dedicated to Emperor Tang Ming! We learned to sing what our mother said, Li Bai was drunk and scared of the barbarian book, and Gao Lishi took off his boots - they were all Tang Minghuang! ”

Qianlong laughed happily, and Huaichun Sichun also laughed at him, and they all joked and joked. Qianlong became depressed again, rubbed his knees and said, "Emperor Tang Ming is also a hero!" The Reign of Kaiyuan...... How prosperous it was! In his later years, he was useless, made a mess, and fled to Sichuan. There is a Yang Guifei in front of him...... Also dead. This is what is said in "Song of Long Hatred" - I suddenly heard that there is a fairy mountain on the sea, and the mountain is in the ethereal space...... There is a character that is too true, and the appearance of snow skin is uneven...... The days go on and on and on, and the hatred lasts forever......" he recited in a man-like voice, his own voice echoing through the grass and trees in the woods, and his eyes had become a little blurred. Sichun hurriedly came over and wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Why bother with this, Your Majesty? Looking at the Three Kingdoms in tears, do you feel sad for the ancients? - Let's not talk about Tang Minghuang. Qianlong calmed down and said, "It's okay to talk about it." He later became the emperor. He was in Sichuan, and his son became emperor in Lingwu in Guannei and took him back. ”

"What's so bad about being the emperor?" Seeing Qianlong's solemn expression, Sichun said with a smile, "Emperor Tang Ming is a blessed man, and his son is filial. ”

"Filial piety." Qianlong's face was expressionless, "It took three thousand feathers to Lin Jun." ”

"That's right, I'm afraid that there will be thieves on the road who rob the old man!"

Qianlong wanted to answer positively: "It's to hold the old man hostage and prevent the old man from seizing the throne again." He moved his lips, but changed the subject, and muttered, "The scenery here is so beautiful...... I have never noticed such an autumn scene, it is so beautiful that it is sad - light clouds and autumn trees, Nanyuan and Xiyuan...... It's wonderful...... Let's walk around again......" Fang wanted to get up, and seeing He Shen coming from the south from afar, Qianlong smiled, "After all, he is younger, and he can see it in the aisle." Seeing him near, he asked, "Why did you go for so long?" ”

"Why are there so few people with you? The elderly should be more lively, and they are not afraid of the emperor's loneliness! He Shen walked with a layer of sweat on his body, saluted Qianlong, and said angrily to Erchun, "This place is too desolate, take a walk to find a good scenery!" "Do you know what a good view is?" Qianlong said, "This is my will, dare they disobey it?" He Shen changed his smile and said in a low voice: "Does the slave also care about the master!" The slave went to Qingfan Temple and returned to Ouchi. Ouchi was almost empty, and he went with Prince Jia to welcome Fukangan back, and only Liu Yong was left on duty in the Military Aircraft Department, standing and saying a few words about Miao Jiang, and then went to the Internal Affairs Office to urge the monthly silver waiting for the master. The matter was not done, and I was worried that the master had something to say hello, so I hurried back on horseback - I hadn't ridden this animal for a few years, and I was guilty of stumbling and my legs hurt! ”

Qianlong smiled: "If Fukangan is a member of the royal family, he can give him an iron hat king in terms of merit." Prince Jia is out to welcome me, so it is natural to be more lively. Now the succession of Prince Jia is an undeclared secret. Tomorrow will be announced in the Qinzheng Palace to canonize the crown prince, the first day of the first month of next year, I will abdicate the throne, he is today, people's hearts tend to be hot and attached to the trend is also a common thing. It's all because you don't read history books. You go down and read Sima Qian's "The Biography of Lian Po Lin Xiangru". He paused and said, "I expect Fukang to miss me, and Yan Yan hasn't come here today, so he must come in with him—ask them to bring new tea from Taiwan, I haven't eaten it yet!" ”

"The minion is the Ministry of Internal Affairs for this." He Shen said with a smile, "Today's jade spring water has not been delivered yet, and there is still new tea, and the slave is still counting on the master to reward a little!" The eunuch in charge of the tea warehouse went to Luheyi, and the chief manager of the imperial dining room sent someone to urge him, and the slave came over first with his master...... The master loves this place, and he is here to relax. Slaves come when they go. Seeing Qianlong smiling and nodding, He Shen knelt down.

Qianlong got up at this time, walked a few steps, felt that his legs and knees were a little sore, and ordered Erchun to take a slow walk with him one by one, and kept sighing: "Old, old...... It's no longer Jin Ge's iron horse shooting the bear and the tiger, and the Chenguang ......" Huaichun and Sichun have no deep persuasion. They also have an unspeakable hidden intention: although the queen is abolished, no one comes to rectify and practice them, but they are just nondescript "talents" in name, they are female officials and palace people, like concubines and no concubines, young people are locked in the deep palace, and there is no child's rest, once the old emperor dies, who will he rely on? In their mouths, they each persuaded "The emperor is still successful, and the emperor is not old", and his voice was choked. The three of them helped the general to wander among the old trees and autumn grass, Sichun had sharp eyes, pointed to the south and said, "Someone is coming, isn't that the fifteenth master?" …… Is that......? ”

"Fukangan!" Qianlong also recognized it and said with a smile, "The grass here is too deep, let's go around enough, go over there and see them." ”

…… Fukangan came with him from the place of Yanyan. After being reprimanded by Yan Yan, he felt much more relaxed.

At first, when he went to the study room of Yiningju Yanyan, he was still very polite, still with that faint smile, just asked about his life, asked what difficulties he had at home, and said that Fu Ling'an's reputation as a governor outside was good. He is not salty or light, and it is difficult for Fukangan to find a reason for "heart-to-heart". Thinking about it, it is easy to say from the perspective of family affection, because he said: "The slave has heard that the fifteenth master is going to be the prince." Next year, the yuan will be changed, the emperor will abdicate, and you will have the royal king's landing. These days, over the years, the minions feel more and more incompetent and inauthentic. ”

"What do you mean?" Yan Yan looked at the paper fan and turned his face with a smile, "Who dares to say that you are incompetent?" I don't know you yet? can read and send troops, and has the ability to hang up! The emperor and I both believed it, why did you say this again? ”

"The minion thinks about it and looks back on itself. It's true that you can lead soldiers slightly, and the books are all read in the dog's belly. Fukangan shook his head and sighed, and said, "Even if you lead the troops, you also rely on the trust of the emperor and the fifteenth master, and the military treatment is not the same as that of Zhaohui Hailancha." The minion's mistake is to count all the credit and ability on his own account, looking forward to his own pride, and he is just showing off in his eyes. Keeping the etiquette is also following the teachings of the saints and not daring to do wrong, thinking too much for himself and for his subordinates...... Slaves often say to the people in the house, what is loyalty? It is to have a heart, and there is only the master and no self in the heart! Teaching subordinates is like this, and thinking that he is also a slave of the emperor is less. After that, he sighed, "This is the experience of a slave who has studied for a few years to cultivate his qi, and it may not be the whole story." I thought of Ama Eniang's teachings, and remembered that Wei Niangniang taught me literacy and gave me the appearance of hinged shoes...... It's all like a dream - really, I don't have to say anything, it's just a fool. ”

At first, he was only unintentional, fiddling with the plain paper fan in his hand and listening, occasionally smiling, listening to his true feelings and admitting his mistakes, and mentioning the kindness and righteousness of the two generations, he couldn't help but slowly get moved and moved, and wanted to say a few words of warmth, but he changed his mind before leaving, slowly folded the fan in his hand and put it down, and said: "Originally, these words will have the opportunity to say in the future." I'm glad you said it now. Master Wang and I have often talked about you - you have the ability, but you have the temperament of a wealthy son, and it is probably not wrong to wronged you by sending you the word 'arrogant'. ”

His tone was as light as water, but his language was very heavy, as if he was just playing with the fan if he didn't smile. If it was early in the past, Fukangan would have jumped up and refuted, but at this moment, he really admitted it, just bowed his head, and said sincerely: "The fifteenth master really reprimanded me, and I also sincerely admit it, not only arrogant but also arrogant sometimes!" When I was a young student, I said, 'When it comes to reading and writing articles, my buddies are all with me, who doesn't know who?' The eighth master will still take some poems, and the fifteenth master will only memorize a book after a few days of review'-isn't this suffering from phlegm and wind disease? ”

"Qian Feng's death, I have checked, it's none of your business." Yan Yan said calmly and gently dropped the fan, "Because you were in Luoyang at the time." Someone suspects that the villain has harmed him - so check it. But some people say that Ji Yun was deposed, and you have your share; Also, the Fu Ling'an Party is attached to the imperial court, I'm afraid it's also true. Loyalty, there is only one heart, with a status like yours, should you indulge your brother to praise people's stinky feet? ”

Fukangan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The words of the fifteenth master show that he still trusts me." Ji Yun was deposed, he went to Shandong with Shen, I hated Yu Minzhong in my heart, and told him to be ruthless, who knew that he even shook out Ji Yun's faults...... The ministers attached to the Fulingan Party have also heard of it, but the minions have been separated for many years, and they have been away all the year round, so they have lost the lessons of brotherhood, which is the truth. I don't know if I was afraid or aggrieved, Fukangan said, bursting into tears.

"You're too generous." Yan Yan was expressionless, as if he was talking about others, and said Kankan, "Jinchuan is 70 million, right?" Taiwan is again more than 10 million. It is right that there must be brave men under the heavy reward, but there must always be a measure of proportion! Well...... After this time I sent troops to hide, I think it's still good, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't go home! ”

Fukangan was not convinced by this from the bottom of his heart. But when will it be more difficult to accept at this time? He felt that it was no longer appropriate to sit and talk, so he got up and said carefully: "In short, they are all arrogant and arrogant, and there is no one in their eyes. Although I am the king, I still regard the emperor and the fifteenth master as masters in my heart. If I wanted to say this in the early years, I would definitely refute it, but now I am convinced! ”

"When we cousins have a heart-to-heart, they just get along with each other, and we get along with each other! Why bother? Looking at the unruly and unruly noble lord bowing his head softly, Yan Yan suddenly felt great satisfaction in his heart, "I didn't say your credit, in fact, I remember it strongly." The crown prince is like this, and it will be so no matter what. Don't be suspicious or suspicious, I don't mean anything difficult for you. As he spoke, he took out his watch and looked at it, and said with a smile, "It's a good conversation today." We'll take the time to talk about it - go. He gently patted Fukangan on the shoulder with his hand, "You haven't seen the Lord of Heroes yet!" Let's go ...... together."

……

How did Qianlong know that this triumphant general, the prince, had such an extremely unique meeting with his son just now? Seeing their brisk steps approaching together, he stood up with a smile and said, "Okay! Fukangan has won another battle and returned...... You're here together, okay......"

"Ama Anle!" Yan Yan saw the two beauties standing with Qianlong on their faces, but he was also very happy at the moment, and grabbed a few steps and said: "My son is here to hold you......" to Sichun intervened in his arm and replaced. Sichun felt that he intervened in the handover and slightly slapped his wrist, if there was nothing, but he understood very well, he couldn't help blushing, retreated to the side, his heart jumped suddenly, peeked at the prince who was going to be canonized tomorrow, and lowered his head again. Huaichun also withdrew his hand and retreated, seeing that Sichun's expression suddenly looked a little strange, he was puzzled for a while. Yan Yan was as serious as usual, and said to Qianlong: "Why did the emperor get here, the wind through the forest that came from the north was blowing cold." Fukangan stumbled a few steps to kowtow to the ground in the morning, one was temporarily soothing, and the other saw that Qianlong was old and had another kind of sadness, and there was an indescribable melancholy and sourness...... All of them poured into their hearts, and they kowtowed and choked: "Minions...... I've seen the old master again......"

Qianlong couldn't pay attention to the four people's extremely complicated state of mind at this time, and raised his hand with a smile and called Fukangan: "Get up, you and Yan'er go to the palace to talk...... "Seeing the situation here, the eunuch Bu Zhi over there had already called a group of eunuchs, palace maids, Chenda, and grandmothers to come and wait. Huaichun Sichun should not follow anymore, silently squatting Fu'er to resign and go back, and go to think about it without mentioning it. While walking, Qianlong heard that Yan Yan had seen Fukangan in the study, and seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then said: "I also want to talk to your brothers, they said that there is good tea tribute coming in, and Fukangan will also taste Xin'er......"

New oolong tea has been delivered. When the three of them entered the palace of Taning, they saw a few eunuchs unsealing the tea basket with bright yellow sticks. He didn't pay attention to it and entered the temple. Qianlong was very interested, and while ordering to "fan the fire and make tea", he said with a smile: "Yan Yan sits with me, and Fukangan sits on the porcelain pier opposite - let's drink some old tea first!" ”

"Yes!" The two men bowed together and replied.

"It's still warm in the temple." Qianlong looked at Fukangan cordially, glanced at Yan Yan again, rubbed his knees and lowered his hand, and said solemnly, "I am urging you with a decree to catch up with a good life." Although there is no explicit edict now, the Military Aircraft Department, the Ministry of Rites, and the Sixth Department are all busy with major events all night tomorrow, and everyone in the world knows it in their hearts. Tomorrow is the Xinhai Day, the best auspicious day for the zodiac in the number of Ori. I want to be promoted to the palace of Qin, summon the prince, the grandson, the king, the prince, and the minister to declare that I will be appointed as the crown prince. He paused slightly, and then said to Yan Yan, "On the first day of the first month of next year, I will worship the hall, the Fengxian Palace, and the Shouhuang Palace." You're going to be emperor. Although it is Neizen, the name of the year will be announced, and the Yuan will be changed to Emperor Jiaqing - the same as your prince's title. ”

A touch of reddish blood surged up, and Yan Yan felt a hot breath from the dantian arch, and there was an inexplicable panic, uneasiness, excitement, excitement, **, and pride all kinds of feelings lingering in his heart. He wanted to enrich himself with Wang Erlie's "dignified righteousness" endowed with manifolds, and also wanted to use Mencius's "Haoran" righteousness to help himself, but it was useless, and he only used the patience of ordinary people to press it, and secretly said, "I am nothing." The prince is only" - so that he calmed down, bowed and said: "The son can not chase the emperor Ama in case. Every time my son hears Amma talk about it, he always feels like a thorn in his back...... The father had already taught him several lessons, but the son did not dare to resign. But Huang Ama is alive one day, and his son is the only one who is the lord of the world, and he will never be self-dictated! There is Fukang and An, with him as a witness, the son prays for the emperor Amalong to be healthy, and the son is on the throne, and he also has a support in his heart...... Pray for Amma to see the heart of her son! Fukangan hurriedly said: "The fifteenth master's filial piety can lead to the heavens and nine shadows, and the slave can prove it!" ”

"You became the emperor, it's not something I thought about overnight." Qianlong said, "You have been born with a different bing, and the old people of the Ten Baylor Mansion know about this." Sending you on a few patrols, as well as your brothers' respective errands, I have the deep meaning of investigation and experience. From tomorrow onwards, you will be the crown prince, and I will have some considerate words to tell you privately - Fukangan, don't resign, I see you as my own son, and I can trust you. ”

Fukangan sat still, staring at Qianlong intently, unsure in his heart, not knowing what he was going to say. Qianlong didn't speak for a while, and said for a long time: "I have said it several times in the administration of employment. You talk about filial piety, this is the foundation of governing the country and loyalty, and I can rest assured......" He paused again, as if he was considering the choice of words, and finally asked directly: "You-are you going to kill Heshen?" ”

It was like a thunderclap on the ground, Fukangan was shocked to the point of a thrill, and stared at Yan Yan in a daze!

This is a piece of scheming hidden in the deepest part of Yan Yan's heart, he has said some words that are dissatisfied with He Shen, and sometimes there are words of slight praise, but this idea has not even been said by the closest confidant of the palace. Qianlong asked steeply, which also shocked his heart suddenly, and he pretended to think about it to calm himself down a little, and said sincerely: "My son sometimes thinks alone, and he sees that he is a villain in his heart, and he has the idea of killing him. But he has no crime to kill, this must be dealt with fairly, and he thinks that he is trusted by his father, and he can't be guilty of indiscriminate entry by his temperament. What Amma said, I am upright and upright, and I can't decide life and death by my likes and dislikes, that is, I am faint. To be a minister is to be deaf, to be a king, to be a faint king. He pursed his lips, "As long as he is in peace, his son will never move this thought." ”

"He Shen can't do this major military and civil affairs." Qianlong said, "If you let him learn from Fukangan to lead the army, or learn from Ji Yun to do academic articles, and Liu Yong to be loyal and diligent, even if you kill him, he won't be able to do it." But he can manage money, thousands of accounts are not confused, this is his long, I trust him in his later years, he can figure out the hearts of the elderly, and he has done his filial piety on your behalf. So there's something wrong with him that you can't get used to, so don't kill him. He looked up and sighed, "It's just a villain." Qi Jing Gong Yanzi, also used Liang Qiu. This is the man-monarch measure. You are deep by nature, he is detached, don't be wasted because of people......"

"Where...... The son did not dare to compare with his father's measurements. Yan Yan smiled and said, "But my son will not kill people for no reason......

"Don't talk about it now, don't talk about it to anyone." Qianlong glanced at Fukangan, "Next year, the new will not forget the old, you can talk to He Shen and a few military planes at that time." ”

As he spoke, new tea had already been brewed. Yan Yan was still saying, "Never be disloyal and unfilial, which will make Ama sad in his old age", Qianlong stopped him and said: "What I said is that the measure should be magnanimous, not to doubt you." I won't talk about it. Seeing that the eunuch had made it, he ordered, "Serve it to your fifteenth master and Fu Ye - this tea should be slightly cooled so that the color and taste can be mellow." ”

The three of them looked at the slightly steaming tea bowl and laughed casually, and Fukangan picked up the anecdotal jokes of the soldiers and officers in the army for the two of them. For a while, I saw that the tea was brown, and then I tasted it at the same time.

Qianlong took a sip, as if he didn't believe it, took another sip, and put down the bowl with a smile. Fukangan also took a sip, licked a piece of tea on the tip of his tongue, chewed it, and peeked at Yanyan. Yan Yan also took the bowl, sucked it, his face was stunned, then calm, seemed unwilling, took another sip, and put down the bowl.

The three of them are all masters of tea tasting, rain, snow water, Huiquan, tiger run, and Yuquan...... What water is in the mouth: it is true that this water is a Yuquan landscape, but the tea is spring tea! Spring tea is not bad tea either. But now it's autumn, and the tribute is the new autumn and new tea, and the tea leaves and tea are fragrant and sweet, and the aftertaste is eternal. But there is no such tenderness and mellowness! Although it is still a good tea, it is difficult to compare with the crisp and pleasant food eaten at the Cailuhe Station above...... They all understood that it was fake, but they all understood that they couldn't say it, and they were only silent for a few hours, and Fukang said in a panic: "Good tea, long live the reward!" He drank the bowl with a grunt.

"Good tea!" Yan Yan smiled bitterly, drank less than half a bowl and put it down.

"Hmm......" Qianlong took another sip, slowly put down the bowl, and reluctantly smiled, "You all said yes, I don't think it's bad." Fukangan hasn't come home yet, has he? Let's go back and check it out. Although this tea is good, it is more difficult for me to sleep after drinking too much. I'm going to sleep a little bit! Yan'er also kneel down......"

Yan Yan still knelt down with Fukangan, as soon as he came out of the weeping flower door, his face was gloomy, and his footsteps walked quickly, Fukangan knew that he was angry in his heart, for fear of having a seizure with himself, and almost trotted to follow him. After getting out of the hedge, Yan Yan saw that Zhao Huaicheng of the Internal Affairs Office was directing the eunuch to clean up the fallen leaves, suddenly stood still, beckoned him over, turned his face to Fukangan with a strong smile, and said, "You settle it first, and we'll talk later." ”

"Wow!" Fukangan's tense heart relaxed a little, and he beat a thousand as if he had been amnestied, and pretended to retreat calmly.

…… This night, Fukangan didn't sleep well, he didn't call Fujin or side Fujin, he listened to the chirping of autumn insects in the garden of Fu Hengfu, and thought about things with his eyes wide open - Luheyi is new tea, but Qianlong himself is old tea! has not yet become a prince, people's hearts have changed, and even Qianlong, who has been in power for 60 years, dares to slack off! It's too complicated. He thought about it all night, his eyes were blue, and he was still ignorant and afraid.

The next day was the third day of the ninth month, the weather was not good, the clouds came, but there was no rain, and the crown prince's canonization ceremony was still handled as a ceremony. All the ministers of the Ministry of Military Aircraft, no one knew about yesterday's delicate scene, and they all stood happily on the heavenly street to watch the ceremony. Fukang is in the king's seat, looking at Yan Yan in a trance, he is on duty, and he also looks at the grade of the hundred officials in front of the mountain, one by one, with the solemn look of the heron, but under the majestic palace, everyone has a saw in their hearts, an abacus, and the heart of the wind and thunder, but with the appearance of a bodhisattva. He was strange, he had been in this group of people since he was a child, how could he not understand it until today? …… In a trance, I suddenly heard the Jingyang bell ringing loudly, and then I came back to my senses and listened to the salute singing:

"The hundred officials knelt outside the palace of diligence and listened. The crown prince and the foreman, princes, princes, princes, princes, princes, scholars, and ministers of military aircraft entered the palace and knelt down to listen to the emperor's holy teachings! ”

Fukangan hurriedly followed the public to accept the order, followed behind the head of the fish to enter, has seen Qianlong sitting on the Sumeru seat, he is a little bloated, a camel-colored river silk cotton robe is also covered with a stone blue lambskin gown, wearing a wide Rui cover, tied with a gilded sapphire thread link, the soap boots under his feet are half-covered by the robe. Qianlong looked happy and in good spirits, smiling and looking at everyone, but the corners of his eyes were a little swollen, and it seemed that he hadn't slept well at night. The crown prince was wearing a new eight-group dragon gown, and the ruby top was decorated with twelve glittering Dadong pearls—which no prince had—and his back was trembling to the crowd, but he couldn't see his face clearly—and then to the left, there was a yellow-haired foreigner, with a high nose and deep blue eyes, Zhou Zhouzheng was buttoning a red tasseled hat, looking at the pillar like a fool, and turned his face as soon as he met Fukangan's gaze. Forcanan immediately recognized him: it was Magherny. This old devil has also come to watch the ceremony! Fukangan and he are old rivals, and when they see him, they slap and itch, but at this time they only moved, and he didn't dare to lose his manners.

"The edict has been published. The fifteenth elder brother Yan Yan will be the crown prince from today onwards. Qianlong sat upright and said, still with a smile on his face, "Yan Yan is humble and filial, and has thanked him many times, and there are many officials among the hundred officials who have come to the table to play, thinking that although I am old, my body and spirit are no less than those in the prime of life, please postpone the change of Yuan ceremony next year." This is all in love with me, and I also love the fifteenth elder brother. Naturally, some people cite the examples of Emperor Taishang of Han Gaozu in history, Tang Xuanzong and Song Gaozong to shake my heart, these people either have ulterior motives or do not understand the scriptures and history. My abdication comes from the will of heaven and out of sincerity, from the age of twenty-five to ascend to the pole, I immediately burned incense to tell the sky, if the day is off for more than a year, I will never be on par with the Holy Ancestor. How can you be the same as those who have to live in the harem? ”

He shook his body, and his expression became more solemn: "I will be able to treat the prince with kindness, and I will be able to be filial to the prince." Next year, when the crown prince ascends the throne, he will be the lord of the world and your king, and your way of being a minister must be loyal. He let go of his tone a little more casually, and said as he pondered the words, "Of course, I'm still alive." With the major political affairs of the militaristic state, you can't just ignore everything. The prince has government affairs that are not easy to manage, and he should give instructions and corrections anytime and anywhere. When he became the emperor, he had the identity of the emperor, and the emperor had major changes in government affairs and personnel, which should be implemented after asking for instructions. He smiled and asked, "How is it?" ”

"The sons are sincerely afraid, terrified and fearful, and obey the Hadith of Emperor Amma!" Yan Yan's body trembled when he was asked, and he hurriedly kowtowed and replied.

The palace full of princes and ministers was silent: because the order of canonization had been issued, it was the emperor, and there was no other remark. The emperor is the emperor, and everything must be "asked for instructions and then implemented", so what is the difference between it and the ministers? Everyone is thinking about this extraneous statement, but they can't think about it for a while, and this is not the time and place to speak. Seeing that everyone was holding their breath and obeying orders, Qianlong smiled proudly and waved his hand: "On the happy day of Yanyan, there is a feast set up in Tiren Pavilion. That's it, all the kings and ministers, go and get the feast! He said to Yan Yan again, "It's still you who act as my behalf, and when you meet old courtiers and old slaves, you must persuade them diligently and don't want them to use more wine." "Say stop driving," I went to the Shouhuang Palace to rest. Go back to the Old Summer Palace after noon! ”

"Erchen respectfully sends the emperor Ama ......," Yan kowtowed again. Somehow, his voice was a little timid.

At this moment, Ah Gui, He Shen, Ji Yun, and Liu Yong are all in the class. The prince went out of the hall first, everyone followed with mixed footsteps, and the class order was already messed up, Liu Yong walked, feeling that someone had pulled the corner of his robe, and looked back at Ji Yun by his side, smiling and following the steps like no one else, and then looking at Ah Gui, but behind Ji Yun, he also glanced at himself with his eyes, but his face was blank. Liu Yong knew that he had something to say, turned around and smiled at Ah Gui and said, "Today is Heshen on duty in the military aircraft department. We're free, and we'll go to Lao Ji in the study of the fourth library later, and the good ink he got will be paid back today. He Shen walked in front of him, and when he heard it, he turned around and smiled: "By the way, write me a picture too." Liu Yong replied very happily: "Success!" ”

The three of them had such a tacit understanding, and they went to Tiren Pavilion to respond to the scene, and each said "busy", quit the prince, and went with Ji Yun with a smile on his teeth.

In Ji Yun's office with a mountain of scrolls and scraps of paper on the ground, Liu Yong wrote a few words as Zhang Zuozhi, hung ink stains, and sat down without being polite. After exchanging glances, Ah Gui opened his mouth and went straight in: "We have been in a lot of difficulties and tried our best to maintain this situation." Others will be shaken by a few words and a few trivial things. The most important thing now is first, there can be no more changes within three months, and the fifteenth master must be able to successfully ascend to the pole; Second, I want to ask the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, whether to hand over the emperor's jade seal, and whether the emperor will meet the minister alone? Third, it seems that the situation of discipline and government is difficult to change, but is the edict in the name of Jiaqing alone? I think that the most important thing is the first one, and what I strive for is that the emperor will not meet the minister alone, and he must hand over the jade seal. The hour is tight, and we can't talk for a long time. That's all I have in mind. Look again. He said it very succinctly. Everyone knows in their hearts that such a gathering is very rare. Ji Yun trembled and put his hands into the pipe to fill the cigarette, and said: "Mr. Wu Ciyou has a poem 'A gentleman fights a villain, like a bare-handed dragon elephant' - don't say anything, Ah Gui's opinion is right. But it was difficult for the fifteenth master to come forward. Who's going to say? Admonishment, bitter admonition, or admonishment? ”

"I'll go." Liu Yong also smoked and took a thick squirt, "The emperor is now an old child, and he can't admonish him." The old man is ignorant, and the children of his family also have a strong reminder, and it is troublesome to blindly coax and obey. Ji Yun said: "You can't do it alone." To wheel war. The emperor is sometimes confused and sometimes clear. The Military Aircraft Department does nothing, and has to guard him, so that he can be penetrated. ”

"The prince will be the same as always." Ah Gui said, "We can't connect with each other, there are capable people in the prince's curtain, and everyone knows it." ”

"Yes. We went to see the emperor together, and one person was not enough. Ji Yun said.

"I must have fought for my life." Liu Yong said.

Ah Gui listened to the short and clear speeches one by one, and said with a thick frown: "This is not a difficulty, don't be too tight." Didn't you receive the feast set by the fifteenth master today? Let's go in tomorrow and thank you. To lead the way, to play the ceremony arranged by the Ministry of Rites, and to lead the Shen to say that the fifteenth master is filial piety to the world, benevolence and loyalty. At least he can't go straight to the ground anymore. Then Liu Yong summoned the officials of the Internal Affairs Office, and the emperor's treatment has been reduced in the slightest, and there will be no forgiveness if he wants to kill him - Lao Luo Guozi has to worry more, and the people inside are still afraid of you. Let's do business as usual, Liu Yong, you can admonish it. If we can't admonish it, we'll go again. ”

"Done!" These are people who have lived in the phase for a long time and have no scheming, and when they hear it, they know that it is feasible, and they agree in unison when they have no reason to say more. Listening to the secretary outside: "You are here?" At the same time, a smile spread. Hearing He Shen smile recently, he asked through the door, "Lao Liu, where is my handwriting?" There's nothing wrong with the pen this time, right? Liu Yong greeted him with a smile and said, "Hang it!" They all said that it was still written - 'Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk'. I still have something to do with the Internal Affairs Office, you can go and see it, so let's go back and talk about it - Ji Yun is inside! Saying that, he went with Ah Gui.

Ji Yun held a big pipe in his mouth, watched He Shen come in, and said with a smile: "Oh, that's yours, just dry it a little longer." You can't wait, and you're here in person. He Shen smiled at the letter, and then looked at what Liu Yong gave to Ah Gui and Ji Yun, and only said with a smile: "You smoke in this house, and you are not afraid of walking away from the water (fire)?" And he said, "Then I'll wait and get it." "I'm leaving. Ji Yun suddenly had an idea and stopped him: "Lao He, you stay a little, I have a few words, I don't listen to you." ”

"You're still messing around with me?" He Shen stood still, although he was smart, it was hard to expect that the three of them had already had a meeting in such a short moment. looked at Ji Yun in surprise and said, "Please speak." ”

Ji Yun looked left and right mysteriously, pulled He Shen closer with his beard, and asked, "Do you have a Zhuangzi in Heishan County?" ”

"Yes." He Shen glanced at Ji Yun vigilantly and a little confused, nodded and said, "It was given by the emperor." ”

"Have someone seen Feng Shui?"

"See, it's a piece of land. It is best to be buried three years after death. How? ”

"The person who looks at the land is the best living Buddha in Tibet?"

"Really? How? ”

"Nothing." Ji Yun moved his chin, "Ma Erzi heard that Fu Siye had leveled Nepal, so he took his buddies and went there in person to buy safflower, cordyceps, and snow lotus...... This and this ......"

He Shen heard him count the names of the medicinal herbs, and said anxiously: "What does this have to do with that land?" Ji Yun seemed to have changed his mind and said: "In Lhasa, he paid a respect." **Tell him, it's actually a dragon sleeping place, and the next three generations will produce a real dragon son! ......" He smashed He Shen's front with his fingers, and He Shen blinked,—— his buddy came to Beijing half a month ago, and he told Liu Yong about it. It's about the foreign domain, and Liu Yong is secretly investigating it! When He Shen heard this, he was anxious and said: "He really said that the land is the dragon land, I will get rid of it, Liu Yong wants to investigate, I will go and tell the emperor!" ”

"You tell the emperor that if you sell land, this kind of thing must be investigated." Ji Yun said, "And the matter is clear, here you will be exempted from the military plane, and then check!" Ji Yun looked like Lao Tzu taught an ignorant child, "Tell you two, one is to ask people to go to Tibet, looking for **or**, to clarify the rumors, and the other is to go to the prince's mansion, earnestly and honestly explain the reason, return the land, or send the fifteenth master - it is better than the wishful thinking you sent to the fifteenth master!" ”

…… Seeing He Shen disappear as if he was in mourning, Ji Yun smiled and said: Are you and Shen afraid of this kind of rootless rumor? Take a trip to Tibet for at least half a year, and you still have to stick to the prince, which is enough for you to be tired!

The Military Aircraft Department has a short meeting and a number of measures, and everyone can use their means to withstand constraints and Shen, and the prince has repeatedly explained that he respects the emperor and will never abuse power. Qianlong's ears were missing many insinuations from Heshen, and he finally stabilized Qianlong's heart. promised to be as Zen as scheduled, and the emperor would not discuss politics with the ministers alone. Everything is in this seemingly ordinary reception, or bluntly stated, or bitterly spoken, and it is necessary to be dignified and considerate, so that the position of "child emperor" can really become "discipline and government". But only Qianlong gritted his teeth and did not hand over the emperor's jade seal, saying: "Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds for me to take care of and use on my behalf?" "Ren is the crowd said that they have exhausted their efforts, but in short, they will not let go.

Seeing that the winter solstice of the month has passed, and in recent years, the days of Zen let are only a few days, the twenty-eighth of the lunar month, there are only two days to pinch the head and go to the tail, it is Liu Yong on duty, and it is snowing lightly, and when the afternoon will be retreated, please see the sign. In order to receive the unification of Yan Yan in the Taihe Palace, Qianlong has entered the Forbidden City Yangxin Hall since the month of Layue, and heard Liu Yong's footsteps kicking and kicking, and Qianlong, who was facing the fire in the East Warm Pavilion, knew that he had arrived again. As soon as Liu Yong entered the hall, he smiled: "I haven't listened to people's footsteps all my life, and I can hear your footsteps - Yan Yan didn't say anything, just obeyed the order, and I did whatever I said." Why are you not finished? ”

"The minister is also obscure." Liu Yong saluted, and when he saw Qianlong pointing to the seat, he sat down on the pestle and said, "Just for this national seal, not only the ministers, but also the ancients are heartbroken." In front of the Qin Emperor, he was unified, and because of the fact that the Bi of the He clan was made 'by the order of heaven, both constant and prosperous', in fact, it was lost in the hands of Hu Hai. Hanxing, and used this piece of jade again. When Wang Mang usurped the Han and seized this piece of jade, Empress Dowager Zhuang Wang Zhengjun - is Wang Zhaojun's sister, right? ”

"It's my sister, I remember it." Qianlong Road.

"Wang Mang came to force the national seal, forcing the old widow Queen Mother to be annoyed, and she fell out on the spot and broke a corner." Liu Yong said with a smile, "The minister thinks that the hall must be very soft, if it is like this now, it will be broken and cannot be repaired." ”

Qianlong smiled with his hands. "I didn't say you were Wang Mang. It's not that you can't believe Yan Yan - it's just an old man who looks at the cabinet, what's wrong? Occasionally, the inner court uses the dispatch of what I need, and I go to the emperor for the matter of needles and threads? ”

"The minister guarantees with his net worth, and the emperor has everything he needs. But the emperor thought that if he sent his ministers to Jiangnan or Shandong, and did not give the ministers a letter of defense and sealing, he would not care about the errands, and the ministers would also be concubines. This is what it means to give enough fame. ”

"Don't go down to Shandong, you killed too many rebels in Shandong, and your reputation is not good." Qianlong smiled half-seriously and half-teasingly, "You have a lot of relief in Jiangnan, and you also have a good reputation in Huguang and Zhili." You also went down to the south of the Yangtze River to eliminate violence and peace. After a pause, he said, "Don't talk about the jade seal, you say it repeatedly, it seems that you don't trust me?" Or do you not trust Yan Yan? Yan Yan said that he didn't want the jade seal! ”

Liu Yong swallowed a mouthful of saliva. said: "This is a great joy for Yao Tianshun and the earth, and it must not be broken." The minister is this mind. There are a class of foolish people in the courtiers, knowing that the emperor is unwilling to hand over the seal, and cannot understand the deep meaning of the emperor's father and son with one heart and one mind, and making rumors, does it hurt the emperor's intentions? …… In this way, since the Emperor and the Emperor are of the same body, all the governors who are appointed and dismissed from the town, and who promulgate important proclamations, in addition to the Emperor's seal, must also be stamped with the seal of the Emperor Taishang, affirming the words 'Sacred Teachings of the Emperor'. How is it? These were the words he thought of as a last step back, and his tone was very earnest and solemn. After speaking, he looked at Qianlong silently.

Qianlong conspired silently. Liu Yong saw that he was moved, and said: "The emperor personally bestows the seal when the palace is perfect." On the first day of the new year, you are empty-handed in the Taihe Palace, and the new Jiaqing Emperor is also empty-handed, which is not only indecent, but also does not increase the auspicious and peaceful atmosphere. Please think twice, the minister Liu Yong and the two generations follow the emperor, be cautious from the beginning to the end, if you don't think about the emperor's father and son, just go with the flow, why rap again and again in front of the emperor? As he spoke, he touched his heart and couldn't help but shed tears. Qianlong sighed, his voice was hoarse, and said, "Your father is not easy. He died in the sedan chair of the previous court. I went and worshipped him. I sometimes dream of him at night......"

"Father Liu Tongxun often said in the world that the emperor is the king of the ages and the lord of eternity!"

Qianlong was silent for a while, sighed sadly, and said, "Okay...... I've watched you grow up, so trust it to the end. I personally bestowed the seal, and you called the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the ceremony. Tell the temple what you just said......"

When the matter was settled, Liu Yong suddenly felt relaxed, seeing Qianlong's love for the stack, and being sad on behalf of Qianlong, and talking to Qianlong's side in a heart-to-heart manner, and Qianlong was relieved in every way to gradually calm down, and then carefully said: "The minister is gone." and according to the will. Tomorrow the minister will come in again...... The minister is also old, as long as the emperor does not get tired of it, he will come in and talk to the emperor as soon as he is free, and ...... with leniency."

"I don't get tired of you. The people in the military aircraft department are all acquainted with each other, and they are not tired of it. Come in more. Qianlong made a decision, and there was no obstacle, "You just follow this message." I have never spoken like a arrow, and there is no reason to change the hexagram - you kneel down, and come in again tomorrow, ah? ”

"Yes......"

Liu Yong slowly withdrew, and the wind outside the hall swept the light snow on his face, making him shiver with cold, only to realize that it was already dark, when to come in, when the eunuch was in charge of the lamp, and he didn't care at all...... He carried the residual warmth of the temple on his body, and the small snowflakes floated on his face in the dark, which felt suitable. Leisurely steps out of the Longzong Gate, to the Xihua Gate outside the sedan chair, walked a journey, felt that the sedan chair has not been stretched outside, only to think that it is the reason for sitting for a day of painstaking and tongue. Feeling hungry again, he got off the sedan chair at Zhengyang Gate and ordered: "You go back first, and I will take Xiao Xi Nu back on foot - make the house warmer!" "Because I only brought two small horn minions to hang out.

…… It's the end of the year, it's night again, and it's snowing, and the empty Zhengyang Gate is a lively night market at this time, but there are almost no pedestrians at this time. Because the ground is covered with a thin layer of snow, the snow is reflected, and the outline of the majestic Zhengyang Gate can be faintly seen, and the watermelon lanterns next to the soldiers defending the city are swaying in the wind and snow. Only the apartment of the Guandi Temple next to it is still inhabited, which are all the foreign businessmen who detained the Beijing master and the people who are waiting for the spring of the next year, and the lights of the doors are still flashing. There are also a few wonton siu mai snacks, soup cake stalls, and roast chicken and braised pork stalls, which are specially waiting for the guests here, lighting the sparse air death wind lanterns, and selling them in the desolate between the bangs, horns, and sporadic firecrackers:

"Wontons - hot, one bowl to keep your whole body warm, two bowls to discipline a sweat ......"

"Roast chicken - melon seeds!"

"Crispy siu mai - Zhengyangmen Liu family's ancestral broth, one bite at a time, one fresh ......"

…… Liu Yong felt hungry, so he always approached a baked cake stove, simmered on the stove with his hands and asked the seller of baked cakes: "How much money is it?" ”

"There are two sons of Qianlong!" The seller of baked cakes is also a little old man, and there is a small guest house behind the stall, in which there are people eating under the lamp. Listening to Liu Yong's question, the cane in his hand slammed, and he rubbed his head without raising his head, "There is oil tea in it, and it doesn't cost money to drink boiling water!" As he spoke, he lifted the lid of the furnace, rummaged in the reddish hearth, and hurried to catch up with the medicine.

"I'll come six—the three of us!" Liu Yong said, turning around and throwing more than a dozen coppers into the money box.

The little old man glanced at Liu Yong, stretched out his oily hand and picked up the money from the money box and handed it to Liu Yong, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to accept your money - is it me who accumulates virtue?" ”

"Why?" Liu Yong was surprised.

"The villain recognizes you old. You are Liu Xiangye. The little old man said, "Qingguan-the teahouse talks all day long, Liu Luo-"

Liu Yong smiled suddenly, and handed the money back: "It's Luo Guozi - accept it, if you don't accept it, I won't be a clean official." ”

"Done! I'll add some more sesame seeds to you! ”

The little old man was busy making dough with all his heart, while opening the red hearth, and from time to time stirring up the fragrant baked cakes.

Two days later, Qianlong and the prince received the jade seal in the Taihe Palace, and the Jiaqing dynasty was established.
