The desert Hanhai road is difficult to travel, Rao is to use the "800 miles to step up", and it took 25 days for the joint recital of Ma Liaohu and the three to be delivered to Beijing. When the military aircraft department was Liu Yong on duty, when he saw the fire paint seal, he ordered to "prepare a sedan chair and go to the Old Summer Palace". After gossiping and waiting, he saw the eunuch Wang Renyu rushing out, and Liu Yong asked, "Is the emperor seeing people now?" ”

Wang Ren was a little short-sighted, and he had come very close to see that it was the two of them, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "The emperor just played chess with the adults, and then the fifteenth master came in to talk about things, and the eunuch on the double gate said that you handed over the sign, and asked the little one to come out and pick you up!" Liu Yong nodded and smiled, followed inside, and asked, "Can He Shen play chess?" I haven't heard of it. Wang Ren said with a smile: "I can play big chess with adults, and I have just started Go." If you can win the emperor by playing big chess, you can't win by playing Go, so how can you say that the emperor can eat sunspots? - Is it a mountain of corpses? ”

His subordinates have always played against the emperor, even if they are national players, they can only lose, at most they will draw and seek peace. He Shen won and lost, Liu Yong also felt novel, and said with a smile: "I only remember that people said that Master Shi and Liu Molin lost a game of chess back then, and He Shen was brave enough." Wang Ren said: "Saying to adults, 'If you can win, you can deliberately lose, but you are also a bully'." The master laughed with joy! Saying that they had arrived at the gate of the hall, the two of them stepped up to the Danqi to sign up, and heard Qianlong in the hall smile and said, "Come in." Liu Baoqi followed in, but saw that the regulations here are different from the Yangxin Palace, the length and width of the square circle are twice as large as the out, the bead curtain of the East Warm Pavilion hangs, and the curtain of several cases of the big kang is faintly visible, a hall in the west is wide and wide near the water, the blue water outside is lush and the green trees are lush, and the windows are all light yellow cicada wing veils up, which seems secluded and spacious, Qianlong did not wear a crown, only wore a rain azure gauze robe, and sat next to the coffee table under the west window with a plain paper folding fan. is smiling and speaking: "...... The singing of lotus flowers in the north and the flower drum opera in the south, the Gaotai song in the Central Plains, and the two-person stage in Jin and Shaanxi are all of the same category. The difference is that the lotus flowers are all sung by women, and the young girls appear on the song, which is really a prostitute. Like the two-person stage in northern Jin, they are all male and female on the stage, and both men and women in the township come to see it, and there is no taboo at all. In the middle of the night, the head of the station shouted: 'Aunt Nizi took the dolls back to sleep!' It's time for meat! As soon as the women left, the male and female actors on the stage let go of their means to play, and they also sang and talked, and the sound of chatter and obscenity were obscene, and they were half-naked and hugged and kissed their mouths. Tianjin Wei, who said that the lotus flower fell the most, looked at Zhou Zheng, those girls were like stealing men's years, flirting with the wind and moon, and they were obscene and teasing with tea customers. The minions have preached several times that the local government is strictly forbidden. Sometimes for days, the wind is still the same. Think about these people, this is people's rice bowl, it really smashes the bright and becomes dark, and the stall can't collect donations. In this way, I have to draw a circle, like Beijing's eight major alleys, Tianjin is divided into the area of Houjiahou'an outside the north gate. When the children of the family go shopping, the fathers and brothers naturally have to restrain them. Brother Fulang, street gangsters, can't be controlled. Just close one eye and close the other. Yan Yan listened silently, and only after he finished speaking, did he say: "This is a relaxation of the ban, after all, I have to think more strictly, last time I went back to a yellow belt clan, speaking of it is still my uncle, covering his nose and mouth with a white cloth, saying that it was 'the wind', and later I learned that it was a bayberry sore, and the Beijing officials went to prostitute the eight alleys were also wolves and dogs, and they didn't dare to find a serious doctor when they were sick. How can it go on like this? ”

Liu Yong and the others originally thought that Qianlong and they were chatting about folk customs, but only then did they understand that they were talking about serious things. For the Beijing officials who do not abide by the official rules, Liu Yong has long hated itchy, and the yamen of the Criminal Department alone has punished more than 20 people, but it has been "agreed and customary", not only the officials of Beijing, Tianjin, and the provincial capitals are the same. Say "strict ban", catch a few unlucky eggs, fine a sum of money, and wait for the "relaxation of the ban" to still be the same. Thinking that there was no other way to do it except "draw a circle", I couldn't help but sigh, remembering that I was a serious envoy, I handed over the fold with both hands, and said: "The military report handed over by the Zhaohui battalion is urgent, please ask the emperor to deal with it." ”

"Oh, Zhaohui's?" As soon as Qianlong heard the word "urgent", there was no smile on his face, and he took the fold and showed it. The hall suddenly quieted down, and He Shen and the other three didn't know what was wrong, sitting or standing in their hearts and playing drums, constantly looking at Qianlong and Liu Yong.

There are only more than 2,000 words in the report, Qianlong read it twice in succession with a dry brow, handed it to Yan Yan and said, "You and He Shen have a look." Zhaohui, I see that he is greedy and eager to succeed, and he is trapped by the lonely army! So saying, he stood up, paced to the window, and looked out through the window. The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze. For a while, He Shen also finished reading it, and He Yan didn't squeak, and looked at Qianlong with flickering eyes. I don't know how long I was silent, Yan Yan said: "Ah Gui is in Zhejiang, and he is rushing back by order, can you send a message to tell him to come back soon?" At present, several people in the Military Aircraft Department are civil servants and are not familiar with military affairs. He Shen said: "I see that Liu Baoqi's messenger can change, hurry up to Luoyang, consult Fukangan, see what measures are available, he can directly order Zhaohui in Luoyang, and rush back to Beijing to ask for instructions, it seems appropriate." Ah Gui had just been reprimanded, and he was urgently summoned for this matter......" The words seemed to be difficult to speak, so he stopped. He muttered again: "The slave always feels that Dou Guangnai is a little exaggerated. The edict has not yet been issued at the Military Aircraft Department, and it is also a law to retract the order and consider it again. ”

Ah Gui was punished, but Liu Baoqi was still heard. Liu Yong and others knew that it was Dou Guangnai who participated in Zhejiang's deficit, and sent Ah Gui to check the truth for the minister, and there was no deficit after checking, Qianlong reprimanded Dou Guangnai, and heard that Dou Guangnai had personally written a secret letter to defend himself, and his tone was very unpeaceful, and there were words of "don't be an official, don't take your life", Liu Yong didn't read the original fold, and the inside story was unknown, but Qianlong turned his head and reprimanded Ah Gui, and he knew the will to withdraw the mission and seize the money, and he saw that He Shen was talking back and forth, and couldn't help but stare at Qianlong again.

"Hailancha defeated Changji, I thought that Zhaohui would be able to go to Jinji Fort, how much I expected!" Qianlong, who had been holding back for a long time, finally spoke, his tone was slow and heavy, and it was so cold that it made people feel cold in his heart, "50,000 horses are in the Ama River, attacking the Lele River and retreating to the Heishui River......" He didn't look back, and suddenly yelled at the window, "This is defeat!" Defeated so much that he couldn't even hand back the chapter, and he had to ask his generals to prevaricate the court! …… How disappointed I am! ”

This sudden onset seemed to contain a lot of resentment, expectation, and loss, as well as helplessness and frustration, and the four of them trembled in shock, and Yan Yan took the lead and knelt down. He turned around with his hands behind his back, and several people hurriedly lowered their heads when they saw his eyes sweeping. I couldn't see Qianlong's face, I just listened to him count one sentence after another: "Except for Fukangan, the ministers are incompetent, the generals are incompetent, the courtiers are mediocre, and the foreign ministers are also mediocre!" Otherwise, why is a Lin Shuangwen who is chaotic in Jiangnan and Shandong, and he can't live in it? Xiaogan, a person who walks the rivers and lakes, preaches a few words of cult, and takes a few thousand people to occupy the mountain as the king! The world colluded during the Lantern Festival, and the bandits in Beijing couldn't hold it, and the ...... in Nanjing and Fuzhou If you say it, you will come out, the government can't restrain it, and if you say it's hiding, the government can't search for it! Seemingly...... I'm really getting old...... his tone became a little soft and sad, as if he was praying, "The Holy Ancestor created by hand, Sejong is difficult to maintain, and I am confident that I will work tirelessly to heal me all night...... I still want to be a perfect person and a perfect old man...... It seems that it is a delusional idea of the water moon mirror flower? He pointed to Yan Yan with his hand, "From now on, you will learn to walk in the military machine." Now it is proposed that Zhaohui is lazy and arrogant to play with the enemy, causing the enemy to retreat to the Heishui River, Gu En's job is very hateful, and he strips off his yellow coat, retracts his eyes, and Ma Guangzu and others go all out to return to the camp, dismiss and stay in office, and wait for Fukangan to take over the charge when he arrives in the camp! Liu Yong and Shen were unable to assist in the government, resulting in a lot of sparse government affairs, and each was fined half a year as punishment. Huguang Xiaogan mob trouble, all because of the governor Le Min Pingsu political and religious desolation and improper punishment, Le Min was demoted to three levels, Dai was retained, and the camera conscripted Liu Xiangwu to atone for his crimes. A series of punishments are thunderous, Liu Yong originally wanted to persuade, listening to him "sweep" over, nominating the surname of Dao even his own punishment, although he knew that he was angry, he was not angry, but he could also forgive his hard work, and Shen Shen bowed his head and said nothing, Liu Baoqi originally just introduced His Majesty to Guiyang, and by the way passed the decree to Fukangan, but he didn't want to encounter this occasion, he had never passed through, and he was so frightened that his face was like a chill. Qianlong ignored it, and designated Liu Yong and said: "Liu Yong gave Ah Gui a decree. He is the one who protects Zhaohui as the main coach, and he is also guilty of Zhaohui's defeat. The former reprimanded Dou Guangnai, A Gui and Shen Li to ensure that Zhejiang has no deficit, accusing Dou of a good name and slandering people's innocence, and now Dou Guangnai has sealed the IOU of the provincial treasury for misappropriating private silver to enrich the inventory, and Shen is still speaking for Zhejiang Province, you have fallen into the unknown, swept away my dignity, and dare to argue falsely! He Shen was so panicked that he banged his head on the ground and said: "The slave saw that there was only one IOU, and the lone certificate did not stand, so I am afraid that it would be ...... exaggerated."

"One? You fart! Qianlong approached, as if he was about to kick He Shen, but stopped, "He sent one, and he held three hundred in his hand!" Tear down the rotten dirt, you also tear down the rotten dirt, and coax me to be happy that the world is peaceful! He Shen didn't dare to say a word again, and kowtowed again and again like a chicken pecking rice. Qianlong was still not finished, and continued: "Send an edict to Fukangan, you don't have to come to Beijing for the time being, that is, you will set off from Luoyang, and rush to Zhaohui Heishui Camp in the starry night to take over Fuyuan to ask for the general's seal letter, and report to me all the way!" As he spoke, he walked through the hall and went to the East Warm Pavilion alone.

Three ministers and one prince were left behind by him in the west hall. At first, everyone was bluffed, stunned and at a loss, staring at each other for a while, Liu Yong stretched his arms and said: "Fifteenth master, this can't be done, I beg the emperor to think again." Yan Yan's face was also unusually pale, and he glanced at He Shen, who was silent, and said, "You can only add fuel to the fire." I'll go over it. Liu Yong looked at the elder brother gratefully, and said: "First persuade the emperor to calm his anger, don't rush to ask for a decree to say something...... Yan Yan nodded, seeing that He Shen was still lying still, he turned his face in disgust and went away.

Qianlong's face was no longer as fierce as in the West Hall, several eunuchs trembled and tiptoed to wait for him carefully, the cold towel wiped his face and brought herbal tea, Wang Ren knelt behind the chair and gently beat him. Seeing that he closed his eyes, he didn't dare to be alarmed, so he only made a gesture to make Wang Ren retreat, and he personally came over to beat his back, and gently massaged the Fengchi acupoint behind his head, neck and shoulders with his hands, about half a meal, Qianlong breathed a long sigh of relief, waved his hand to signal him to stop, and said suddenly: "Old fifteen...... Does Amma get older and more fiery? Fang Cai's words, after thinking about it, some of them were incoherent...... "sigh again," sigh...... Wind and rain pass through the years, and the trees are still like this......"

"Huang Ama......" Seeing him like this, Yan Yan was originally full of panic, but then he felt sad and sad, his heart was sour, tears almost flowed out, and he was already choked: "Don't think so...... Listen to make my son sad...... When you practiced Buku a few days ago, the thirty-pound stone lock was still playing, and his complexion and body were no less than ordinary forty-year-old prime-aged people. The son and He Shen discussed privately, and the son said that you can live to be 100 years old, and He Shen said that it is more than that, at least 120 years old...... We have you in the Qing Dynasty, and the peace in the world is stable for ten thousand years, and you are the backer of your sons. With you, no matter how difficult things are, they can always be resolved......"

Qianlong was gently rubbed and pressed by him, took another breath, stretched out his arm and patted it lightly on his shoulder blade, hung down again, and sighed: "Idiot, you have also read the twenty-four histories, and there are only three emperors who have lived past the age of seventy since Zulong. You said that a hundred years old is filial piety, and he said that one hundred and two is Fengying......" Yan Yan said: "It's not Fengying, my son listens to the truth." "Whether it is Fengying or Bawang, it is sincere and loyal." Qianlong knew that this son was sometimes very stubborn, and said with a smile, "You came to intercede for them, right?" It can be lightly dropped, but it is not avoidable. First, they did have it, and they had to rectify it according to the rules, and secondly, Ah Gui and Shen were still strong, so they had to knock on the reminder from time to time, so as not to make them forget their identity. You understand? ”

Yan Yan's hand stopped for a moment, and he pressed it again, and he realized that Qianlong was angry today, and the other three points were taking the opportunity to "beat". He came over, originally to resign from the "Military Aircraft Department" Brother on an errand matter, for the will to pick up the remains of the quell to intercede with everyone is a matter of favor, listening to Qianlong's words, his heart couldn't help but be shocked, Bu Bu jumped a few times to stabilize his mind, but his words became softer: "My son understands now...... However, Liu Yong is not negligent! Look at his pot, curled up more like a shrimp, and the person is so emaciated. Ji Yun went, he did the errand of two people alone, and I heard that he could only sleep for two hours a day......"

"What's so bad about being like shrimp? Aren't the guards all shrimp? Does the dragon king also want fish soldiers and shrimp generals? Qianlong had completely calmed down, and said eloquently, "...... Besides, he is a Hanchen, and everyone else has been punished, so he is the only one who will not become the target of public criticism? - You are about to enter the military plane alone, and you are afraid that the royal brothers and brothers will have a discussion? Yan Yan was suspicious of the worried fox in his belly, and he hadn't "persuaded" anything, but he was persuaded a lot. Hearing Qianlong's question, he thought that it would be better to be straightforward and honest in front of such a person, so he muttered: "My son's mind can't escape Ama Shengjian, and it is still as good as his brothers......" Qianlong said: "Since it has been announced, there is no reason to take it back." Are you 'studying'......" He finally felt that he couldn't reconcile, and added, "Hao Xuan will also come to study." ”

Yan Yan was stunned when he heard this: I added an eighth brother for no reason, and no one else came in, what does this mean? Seeing Qianlong stretching his body and signaling that he would not massage anymore, he hurriedly asked for a cold towel to ask him to rub his face, handed him a cup of herbal tea, stepped aside and stood with his hands down, and said: "This is the best, the two brothers can discuss it if there is something to do...... Amma, my son has always had a stupid idea, Zhaohui is guilty of being greedy for merit, but if you look at the twists and turns, it doesn't look like a rout, it's just that the enemy is cunning, and he didn't fall for Zhaohui's plan, and there was just a small setback. The situation is unclear now, and there will be a military report in a moment. He was besieged by the enemy, and he was looking forward to being rescued, so he had to deal with it, and it seemed that it would not be too late to wait until he was relieved. Fukangan didn't have to rush to go, the road was too far away, he arrived, and the war was over...... It's better to be patient. ”

"Hmm." Qianlong nodded. In fact, he didn't know that it was he who even gave orders with commendations and urges, and Zhaohui had to "rush forward" as a last resort, but this layer of mistake even he refused to admit in his own heart, let alone his son's subordinates? After a moment of silence, he pointed to the west and said, "Call them over!" - What's the name of the guy who came in with Liu Yong? ”

"Liu Baoqi." Yan Yan said, "It's Ji Yun's protégé, born in Hanlin. Seeing that Qianlong was speechless, Yan Yan waved his hand and ordered the eunuch to pass the decree.

For a while, the three of them rushed in one by one, and when they saw that Qianlong had really lost his anger, they all secretly let go. He Shen had changed his smile and said, "The military aircraft department reported from the city that there was another military report in the Zhaohui camp, and it had arrived at Luheyi. The minions had already brought them straight over. We took a closer look at the twists and turns, the enemy's camp was destroyed, there were heavy casualties, and Zhaohui's troops were not damaged, and it seemed that they had come to report safety. Qianlong ignored his words and said to Liu Baoqi: "Your name is Liu Baoqi, Ji Yun, who followed first, worked as an errand in the yamen of Li Shiyao's infantry army, and went to the study of the fourth library, isn't it?" ”

"Yes." Liu Baoqi didn't expect Qianlong to know that he had so much resume, his eyes lit up with joy, and he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Minister Liu Baoqi." ”

"Don't underestimate Xuezheng, that is the first of a province's education and civilization." Qianlong remembered that Ji Yun and Li Shiyao had talked about him at this time, and Wang Erlie also said that he had Ji Yun's style, thinking of the way he entered the hall to probe his brain, he couldn't help but smile, and said solemnly, "Guizhou people have no three cents of silver, the sky is not sunny and the ground is uneven, it is a poor place, Miao and Zheng live together, the customs are different, and it has always been difficult to educate. You have to do your errand with your heart, you are really short of money, and Heshen can allocate some for you. What is the quota for the township examination...... More than 50 years have passed since the amount set by the Emperor Shi when he was alive, and it can be increased a little more than the example of Sichuan and Shaanxi. The academic and political envoy is a student and a teacher, and does not belong to the governor to control the rewards and punishments. ”

"Yes, the minister Liu Baoqi respectfully obeys the holy decree and will do his best to send the envoys. The local education is well maintained, there are more women and women, less hooligans, and more money from adults, and I will build up the school and create a few more good talents for the country. ”

Several people couldn't help but laugh when they heard him say it was funny. He Shen smiled: "This is said to be more good women and less bad men." Since there is a purpose, I will naturally do it and allocate more money. If you want to brag, I won't have to play you. Liu Baoqi said: "Talent is related to the luck of the country, which is what the emperor has taught many times in the study of the four libraries." As long as you work hard, you don't have to worry about talents. The governor Qian Feng is a native of Guiyang. Yan Yan and Liu Yong all heard Ji Yun talk about him, and it was really convenient to deal with it, so they all nodded secretly, and only heard him mention Qian Feng to Shen, with a wooden face, and a smile again.

"You can go now. Go back and see Heshen. Qianlong smiled and said, "I hope you can raise a few more money." Qian Feng did not add fire consumption in Yunnan, led the army and civilians to dredge the Erhai Lake to build a pond dam irrigation canal, opened up two million acres of land to plant rice, mulberry silkworm silk, and increased the soil by three percent, he himself also planted two acres of rice, and his wife's family was self-raised, and the people of Dali wanted to give him a temple for cultivation! ”

He praised Qian Feng and spoke radiantly, but the more He Shen listened, the more uncomfortable he became. Half a month ago, Qian Feng had a secret fold, and he couldn't find out the content at all, and he ordered Qian Feng to go to Beijing to report on his work, he always felt that there was something unfavorable to him, but he couldn't put his beak, but Yan Yan didn't know what he was thinking, and took the opportunity to smile: "The military aircraft department is not full of manpower, and Qian Feng is both knowledgeable and talented, why not make up for it?" ”

"Yunnan Baiwu is just rising, and Guizhou also wants to rectify government affairs. I want him to set an example, and he can't do it without three or five years. Qianlong smiled, "He is young and has risen too fast, and everyone can't help but be unconvinced." Liu Baoqi is either in Guiyang or on the way, he must see Qian Feng, and the edict told him not to be busy, walk slowly, and it is not too late to arrive in Beijing in autumn. Bring two catties of ginseng to him. There is also Fukangan, in Luoyang City, you also have to comfort me and tell him that the military report from Xi'an is coming to be dismantled, and the seal is played again. If it is hot in Luoyang City, you can move to Pishan Mountain or Longmen Xiangshan, avoid hot days and then listen to my orders. ”

This means that Fukangan's will to "go to Heishui River" has been revoked, and Liu Yongyan suddenly felt a little relieved. He cares so much about his subordinates, and he is meticulous about the details, which also makes everyone feel emotional. Only Liu Baoqi saw Qianlong for the first time, it was a downpour for a while, lightning strikes and lightning, one punishment after another was merciless, and for a while it was like a warm and pleasant spring breeze, a little overwhelmed between a hot and a cool room, and saw Qianlong waving his hand and retreating, so he knelt down and settled.

"Heshen stays for a while, and you guys go down too!" Qianlong said, "No matter what the news of the military report of Luheyi is, it must be reported to me immediately, and Liu Yong's dinner will be used with your fifteenth master." The lyrics of the imperial Dan Majesty music should be sent in, and they should also be scrutinized. He paused for a moment and said slowly, "That's it." ”

He Shen was left in the temple. Today, he couldn't figure out Qianlong's meaning, and he couldn't touch Qianlong's temper, when he came in the morning during the meal, Qianlong had a straight face, and the eunuchs were so frightened that they all held their breath, almost all of them knelt and waited, and asked questions carefully, only to know that it was for Xiaogan to gather bandits to rebel. He also counted a few royal elder brothers, "accustomed to the atmosphere of celebrities, chanting the wind and making the moon flaunt the high level, and did not know the difficulty of governing as a father", and complained that "the slightest wind is not transparent, and the garden is so depressed...... In short, the horizontal is not the nose and the vertical is not the eye, and everything is not smooth. It was easy to play a few games of chess, and gradually eased up my spirits, and came to Yan Yan again, chatting about some relaxed government affairs, which was already good, and when Liu Yong came to talk about military affairs, he was disappointed again, and no matter whether he was virtuous or not, everyone was punished! …… Why did he leave himself alone? He Shen made up his mind, and he couldn't figure out Qianlong's intention to never get involved in political affairs, so he only stood sideways with a smile, and looked at Qianlong from time to time from the corner of his eye. Waiting for the waiters to change clothes for Qianlong again, they brought a small piece of Bingpai watermelon and ate a small piece, wiped his face with a cold towel, rinsed his mouth, Qianlong coughed lightly, and He Shen knew that he was going to speak, and immediately straightened his ears.

"He Shen," Qianlong's tone was neither salty nor light, like gossip and like a serious question, "Go out at the Shuangzha North Gate, and the house opposite the Old Summer Palace is yours, right?" ”

He Shen obviously didn't expect Qianlong to ask this, raised his face to look at Qianlong and said: "It's a slave's snail dwelling......" He was very smart-minded, and immediately thought that someone had gossiped, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued, "With the slave's family property, it all depends on the emperor's reward for the two Zhuangzi in Miyun, as well as the land of Shunyi and Zunhua, and it is not a dream to build this house." It was still stained with the light of repairing the Old Summer Palace, and it was also the grace of the master's rain and dew that it was built. ”

"Gardeners, it's a regular expense donated by the state," Qianlong didn't expect He Shen to admit that he would be stained, frowned and asked, "You are the gardener, and you are in charge of the world's finances, how can you be 'stained' here?" He Shen listened but was not afraid, saw Qianlong touching the cup, smiled and stepped forward, quickly and competently poured tea for him, and calmly stepped back, and said: "The emperor misunderstood, how many heads does He Shen dare to embezzle ICBC?" This piece of land is set aside for a decree, and there are archives to check. For the ten grids to marry the son of the slave, the custom of building this forehead house is 30 hectares, only more than 20 hectares are used here, and there are not many houses demolished, because the corner line of the garden is drawn out, and this triangle is not neat, so it is allocated as a storage yard. Speaking of staining, it turned out to be a low-lying pond, and the pond was filled in after the waste bricks and tiles were piled up, and the slaves saved 350,000 silver, how dare they encroach on the treasury silver! Also, the broken bricks filled in the foundation of the house did not cost money, and the stone ash and half-cut bricks in this garden were all pushed to the edge of Beihaizi, and the floor of the slave homestead was also filled with these objects. The stone workshop at the door, as well as the pair of stone lions, were rewarded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the custom request of the Forehead Mansion. The rest of the houses are built with bricks, tiles, wood and stone, craftsmen and silver, long live the Lord rewarded five thousand taels, the Queen Mother three thousand taels, and the rest are the minions' own account expenses...... "He has an excellent memory, and he is very familiar with the details of the accounts, and he said one by one with his fingers, the geometry of bricks and sand, the cost of the silver and silver meals, and the price of various wood paints and carpenters' fine work are ...... It was all detailed, and a few eunuchs who had been in charge of the work were secretly surprised when they listened, but Qianlong had already fallen into the eighteen-mile fog, and he was already ignorant before he even listened to the words in front of him. At the end, He Shen said again: "This is just a general idea. If you can't believe it, it's an account that can't be put down, and when the people from the Ministry of Labor check, they will know that the slave is innocent. ”

Qianlong smiled: "Okay, if I ask casually, you will have such a big set!" I didn't say you were corrupt...... Or is there a clear distinction between public and private. Your own accounts and the accounts of the official family must be put away, and I can't understand what you said, just in case someone is confused, and if you can't understand it empty-handed, it will be difficult to do. He Shen said: "This is not a mistake at all. The expenditure of the household department, the collection of the Ministry of Industry, and the use of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to report the accounts, are a thousand times more complicated than the small house of the slaves, and they reconciled the accounts last time, and the gross number was wrong out of 160,000 taels, and the three families quarreled with each other, and they all blushed, I sat on the top and listened, and said, "The 80,000 stone glutinous rice of the strangulation table is tribute rice, not the procurement rice, 38,240,000, the tiles of the paving pool burned in Jingdezhen, burned a kiln, and the price rose to 35,000, and the loss of the Xishan Stone Factory was 10,000, and the damage of the stone material was 35,000. You gave me a conversion, did you risk 160,000? They all laughed as soon as I said that. The slave is such a big official, and he has not been in a foreign position, nor has he sent troops to release horses, and he has not paid careful attention to the envoys, what does the master want me to do? I embezzled materials and asked people to find out, I didn't need the master to say, I was ashamed to death, the water pavilion over there was two feet and four feet deep, and I jumped in and became Qu Yuan! Qianlong had already laughed when he heard it, and said: "I committed suicide in fear of sin, and I said that I was Qu Yuan!" ”

"Laughing and laughing, there are two guns (Ge) next to the word Qian, and a knife next to the word Li, so you can't help but be vigilant." He Shen Zhengrong said, "The emperor asked the slaves to manage the treasury, so that the slaves can benefit the world, not themselves." This is not only a matter of loyalty or disloyalty, but also a matter of conscience. Such a big world, such a big garden, and trillions of silver have been in the hands of minions, what a lot of trust is this! said that the finger gap is not tight, and the slave is incompetent; It is said that the slave fills his own pocket, and the slave will never dare to have this courage! ”

He carefully calculated the accounts in front of him, and put his head in the back to be reasonable, and he shook his tongue and said it very sincerely, which was more sincere and credible than swearing to the sky and swearing. Originally, this was a sentence that Qian Feng pointed out in the dense fold, and it was smoothed like paper by He Shen. Hearing that He Shen was innocent, Qianlong felt relieved and said with a smile: "Let's go outside, don't talk to me about money anymore." ”

He Shen's heart is still not relaxed, he claims to get along with the government and the opposition up and down, only watering and watering flowers, not planting thorns, it is already a "ball of harmony" to be mellow and thoughtful, but there are still people staring at him, and there is not even a little wind to listen to the sky! Who dares except Qian Feng? Who can? Walking with Qianlong, he muttered in his heart, but his face was still full of spring breeze, pointing to the west and smiling: "There is a cold hot spring over there, cold water in summer, and hot water in winter." The master has said a few times that he is always too busy to take care of everything. How about a minion accompany you to take a look at it today? ”

Qianlong nodded silently, strolling westward with Heshen, his mind seemed to be still thinking about Zhaohui's military affairs. Pacing and pondering, "Don't blame your master for being angry. You are in charge of the money, and calculate how much treasury silver Zhaohui Hailancha used? Coupled with the Tianshan garrison, the strength is more than twice that of Huo Jizhan, and the wife is sealed and the son is sealed, and when they eat, they all think about whether there is a place where their family can not take care of them. Official, when he reaches the general, he can't be promoted again, and when he reaches the duke, he can't be promoted again. Some people participate in the impeachment, and they don't need to speak, I am all in front, how can I blindly play mouse hide and seek in front? How else can I satisfy them? Cough...... It's hard for a minister, he doesn't know how difficult it is to be a king......"

"According to the knowledge of the minions," He Shen also sighed, "After this battle, in fact, the world is peaceful, and there is no big battle to fight." This does not refer to Zhaohui and Hailancha, who of the soldiers below does not point to the war and get promoted? What is it like to sit idle and watch civil officials get rich? Besides, it was easy to win, and there was no credit for it! It's like Qin Yue people saw Cai Huan and said, 'Doctors are good at treating incurable', which is also human nature. You are in a hurry, and he is slow, because he knows that this disease is not a big problem. The top military slave has only been a soldier for a few days, and Ah Gui is a true expert. He'll go back to Beijing, and you'll see, he'll say it's a difficult battle. It is no wonder that the more you fight, the more careful you are. He remained silent, talking eloquently about the two generals and a military plane in his heart, each of whom planted a "selfish" root, but Qianlong was unaware, thinking about another burst of anger, but it was not the place to attack, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "With such a mind, then wait and see!" He Shen glanced at him, and his mouth changed again: "It is not fair to say that these generals have two hearts, and they have not used all their strength." Compared with civilian officials, the generals are better and don't know where to go. Compared with civil officials, it seems that the master does not have to blame them, after all, it is a dangerous messenger who makes people die. At this time, the master was not happy, because the mission did not go well, and a red flag came in, and their bed of brocade was covered, and the master's anger disappeared. An official, a Lu, a money, who can get out of this net? The slave went down and watched the household allocate some more silver to transfer it over, encouraging and encouraging morale. ”

The two of them said, they have arrived next to a dense forest, the old trees are more lush and verdant than elsewhere, and the arrowroot vines on the female wall in a belt are entangled with branches and knots, and a stone plaque is arched in the middle of the algae and whisker flower gate formed by the tree, which is written in Ji Yun's letters:

Pleasant pool waves

He Shen smiled and pointed out: "This is the cold hot spring." Then he said to the eunuchs, grandmothers, and servants who followed: "There are people waiting inside, you are waiting here, and the emperor will call you in and go in." He smiled and brought Qianlong in. Qianlong because he saw that a mountain-style temple sits south to north, there is no Danqi outside, a color of marble paving, the regulation is a little peculiar, when he opened his eyes to look at the palace, He Shen smiled: "The inside is made of imitation of Xi'an Huaqing Pond, but it is bigger, and the hot spring can not be bathed and swimming in the open air in winter, so there is this palace." Only then did Qianlong understand that this hall was specially used for winter bathing and winter swimming. From the east of the hall to go around, the eyes suddenly brightened - there is no empty field in the north courtyard of the palace, a large open area is full of water, surrounded by green trees, about two acres of square circle, all around are bluestone class trapezoidal into the water, the east is a spring, the water gushes like overflowing, into a pool-shaped vortex and then goes west through the tree and over the wall - this kind of structure is absolutely not in China. Qianlong has only seen it in the Western pattern book, and was about to ask He Shen, when he heard a sound of water next to the small island in the center of the pond, when he turned his face to look, it was a few young women who were tired of swimming and basking in the sun on the island, and when they saw two men coming in, they were so shocked that they went into the water to hide, and the light wave in Qianlong's eyes flashed in surprise and stopped.

There were four girls in the water, all of whom were only between seventeen or eighteen years old, stripped off all over their bodies to only one pair of shorts, and all the clothes were stacked on the shore at Qianlong's feet. Seeing Qianlong staring with dead eyes, the four women were ashamed and dizzy. Some covered their breasts with their hands, some covered their umbilicus, turned their backs to the shore and bowed their heads to eat and laugh, only one in the middle dared to rush to the shore and shouted softly: "And adults...... Do you think of women like this? Why don't you tell us to put on our clothes? ”

"It's Eunchun!" He Shen had already turned his face away with a smile and said, "I don't dare to look at it...... I told you to come and wait for the emperor. This is the present day of Long Live Lord. Master, don't say it, look at it, you can't disobey the will......" The four women knew that it was the emperor, and the shyness of twisting their waists and swinging their bodies was a little uneasy, I don't know who peeked at Qianlong, and whispered something, and several people suddenly broke out into a burst of giggling laughter. Seeing the one-handed breast protector named Enchun, he tried to come over and reach out to pull the clothes on the shore, Qianlong stretched out his hand and pulled her up to the stage, and said with a smile: "What a beautiful bathing spring picture!" If you have already bumped into it, you are fated. Your name is Enchun, what about the three of them? Since you're tired of swimming, isn't it good to rest on the shore here? Why did you go to the top of the pool? ”

Na Enchun was pulled ashore by him naked, hiding nowhere to hide and nowhere to retreat, not annoyed, seeing that the emperor was easy-going and gentle, and a little glorious and complacent, one hand was pulled by him, and the other hand held his wet hair on his chest, he was already shy and slightly angry, and he lowered his head and replied: "Shameful to ride...... The master looks at it like this, so that people can see it......" Qianlong laughed and said: "He Shen is just carrying his face like this, I don't let him turn his face, he dares to turn around?" Good, good! If you're so embarrassed, you're going to get dressed! The four women went ashore in a hurry to get dressed as if they had been pardoned, blushing and drenched. One by one, the loose hanging hair is wide and the silk is accompanied by silk makeup, and He Shen introduced it, one is called Huaichun, one is called Sichun, one is called Fengchun, and the other is called Enchun, "They are all newly bought children in Jiangnan, and they have been taught by the eunuch and grandmother in Changyin Pavilion and sent over to wait." I originally wanted to wait for the completion of the master's Huairou study in the west to be on an errand, but I didn't expect to meet today. ”

"Good!" Qianlong was so happy that his whole body stretched, and he looked at this and that, "Sichun, the name is good!" Just the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, one person is in charge of the same. This spring is good, the pool is good, and it is surrounded by trees to form a paradise in the world...... Watching you take a shower, it's kind of like this...... Well, this ......" He suddenly thought of Zhu Bajie peeping into the dirty spring in the Pansi Cave in "Journey to the West", thinking about it indecent, but he couldn't find an elegant one for a while, but He Shen was prepared, and blurted out: "It's the Cowherd watching the Weaver Girl bathing......" "Good, good!" Qianlong applauded happily and laughed: "This metaphor is good! The Cowherd looks at the Weaver Girl...... Good! He didn't drink, his words and demeanor were already drunk, several women were curious and shy at first, and they were also a little afraid of "Tianwei", seeing him like this, everything was already "good", and couldn't help but snicker. Listening to Qianlong asked: "Will it be the messengers of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" He Shen hurriedly said: "The daughters of the Jiangnan family have a bit of a tutor on top, and the slaves have heard it, and they sing well in the spring song!" Qianlong felt that he was in the flowers at this time, intoxicated and confused, clapping his hands and laughing: "Are you the one who covered his mouth and snickered with his back face?" Feng Chun - this name is interesting, it turns out that you can sing songs? Take what you come from, sing next to the water pavilion in front of this palace, cool and refreshing, how much is good! ”

This "Four Springs" is Heshen in Chongwenmen tariff on the careful search, the family is all from the opera, with his father and brother in the small world, go to Beijing to go to the theater and go to the hall, what the palace Baylor Mansion is all about, the dragon son and the phoenix Sun Daguan and nobles are practiced in the field, and the top clever people selected by Heshen are thousands of selections. It was originally intended to be given to Qianlong's younger brother Hongday Chenghuan to use it. Hongday, he was promoted to the military aircraft again, changed his mind, and was sent to Changyin Pavilion again, inviting the famous corner of Beijing to deliberately transfer and teach him. Although they are all virgins, they are born beautiful, talented, and artistic, and they have all seen the world, and today I saw Qianlong, who is willing to let go of the fate of wealth and wealth? If it weren't for He Shen's repeated teachings in advance to "respect the body and behave moderately", he would have "been coquettish and coquettish" a long time ago. At this time, Qianlong was happy, and he was as easy-going as a ticket holder[1]

Sichun knelt on the side of Qianlong's knees and pinched his legs and feet, a pair of small hands were dexterous and dexterous if there seemed to be no thoughtful massage, Huaichun and Enchun took the family to tune the zither strings, waited for Qianlong's tea towels, laughed and amused, and made Qianlong happy. He Shenyuan was afraid that they would be tired of Qianlong, and when he saw that Qianlong was so happy, he put down his heart and said with a smile on the side: "Master Wan Ji Chenhan, a little time, music and entertainment, can have a half-day laughter, which is also rare." It's just that they are from a small family, and they don't know the rules of the heavenly family, seeing that they are still innocent little girls, forgive me......"

"What rules? Here I am the 'heavenly family', and my happiness is the rule. All day long, the Qianqing Gate of the Heart Cultivation Hall is with you, and those boring rules are not enough? Qianlong smiled and saw that Sichun was busy, gently pulled Sichun and held a small hand and rubbed it, and said casually: "Confucius's rules are in the temple, in the crowd, and it is one thing to enter the boudoir - the clothes are still good in Han costumes." Look at these four, the water drag skirt is shallow than the armor, the acacia shoes, the dark clouds and green silk hang down, as soon as they change into a full outfit, they strangle their heads so that their scalps are tight, the bottom of the flower pots under their feet is kicked up, the aisles are full of chest and belly, and Xi Shi has become salt-free. Feng Chun said in his ear: "You are the master of the dragon, you will make a decree, you will change into Han clothes, who dares to disobey?" He Shen said on the side: "This is national politics, don't discuss it in front of the master!" Qianlong smiled and waved his hand: "Wow, Zitong has moved out the 'Dragon Master' - are we singing, why be so serious?" She didn't understand, but she turned around and slowly understood. Feng Chun stuck out his tongue and smiled: "The slave doesn't dare anymore, so I understand." Qianlong stretched out another hand and grabbed Feng Chun's wrist, rubbed it, sniffed it, and said: "I also plan to order the world to change Han clothes." The Queen Mother and the Princes of the Eight Banners all objected, and it was easy to forget the original family law of this ancestor, so they had to let go. The emperor also has a courtesy, and he can't do whatever he wants......"

Laughing and laughing Xiao Guan piano case has been at the mercy of the stop, Sichun squatted Wanfu, Huaichun Fu Zheng, Sichun hugged the Yueqin, Enchun pressed the flute, a little trial sound, Qingle suddenly got up, every spring pavilion is as slim as the wind Qiongshu, slender fingers and palms lightly Shu Hao's wrist sang in a voice:

Thousands of miles of warblers cry green and red, and the water village mountain silhouette wine flag wind.

There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain.

As soon as the song fell, He Shen applauded: "Good! Qianlong said: "It's naturally good, but it's too familiar." There is a beautiful one again. Sichun nodded for a while, the music turned, and he sang again in spring:

Bitter memories of searching for poems and chanting under the lamp, sleepless and long nights afraid of the cold.

The leaves in the courtyard are full of sorrowful winds, and the screen windows are sad and the moon sinks.

The evacuation is not idle, and the wish is fulfilled, and the prosperity and decline are empty.

In the secluded place of the undetermined sycamore, the twilight finch chirps around the forest......

The melody is tactful and low, like the clear and flowing spring wandering, and the song is still lingering from the aftersound...... Qianlong no longer knew where he was, closed his eyes and hands pressed the beat and knot, while listening, carefully pondering the meaning, his face seemed to be happy and sad, and he was already a little intoxicated. After a long time, he said: "This is a poem given by Yu Xuanji to Wen Feiqing, the two sentences of 'Prosperity and Decline in the Sky' and 'Twilight Bird Chirping' are gloomy and clear, and the sadness is so deep!" Coupled with such a soft and sad tone, it is even more sad and desolate......"

"It's better to change the vulgarity, it's good to be lively and happy." He Shen is in the lyrics and songs, although he often listens to the vassal elegance of the hall, in fact, he can only be regarded as a literary white, and he doesn't understand any fish mysteries and Wen Feiqing. Seeing Qianlong's solemn and sad expression, he hurriedly smiled: "Last time, I listened to what you sang 'loquat yellow' in the courtyard, the words are fresh and the tone is lively, I think it's good." Sichun said with a smile: "That's singing the Duanyang Festival, the season is not right, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter the emperor's law." ”

"Farr!" Qianlong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "I only heard that the 'Dharma Eye' and 'Dharma Body' were said, but there was still such a thing? When the chef comes in to serve the food at this moment, he must use the 'French nose' to sniff and the 'French tongue' to taste it! Since it is good, whether it is Duanyang or Chongyang, why don't you suddenly open the 'Dharma throat' and sing it? As soon as the words fell, the moon piano in Sichun's arms sounded noisily, and every spring Huaichun smiled and looked forward to singing, and Fengchun sang with his arm bend finger painting:

Loquat yellow, the uncle is panicking, the young lady is anxious, and the aunt is busy.

Sichun asked, "Why are you so busy?" Huaichun sang:

Although some customers are fast, they are blind!

Qianlong Fang applauded and shouted, "Okay! Huaichun sang again:

Qu Yuan died in Miluo on this day, and Xu Jiang died on this day.

If you don't see you on this day, will you wander with your two sons?

Pick up in spring:

The water of the Shenjiang River is 100 feet deep, and it is unfathomable for hundreds of generations of Rongjun.

A low song waited for Lang to come, and the tears were wet with tears!

His clothes were wet, and his tent turned into a stone of hope,

You don't see it, how many kind words are endless, and you squander and buy romance......

Qianlong looked back at He Shen and sighed: "Guan Ju's love is in the common saying, it is the sound of elegance, who said that this song is vulgar?" He Shen was lowering his head and thinking about his thoughts, and when he heard the words speak fiercely, he smiled and said, "What the master said is true!" How can a slave know any of these? Licking his lips and said, "The military report from Luheyi has entered the Ouchi again." The minions are thinking about this important thing! In this way, it is rare for the master to be relieved for a day, and let these children accompany the fun, and the slaves go out to take a look, if it is irrelevant, it is just that, and the important things are reported to the master for cutting. Is this possible? Qianlong stilted his eyes, tilted his head and pressed the beat with both hands, and he was already listening to it with great enthusiasm, and only waved his hand. He Shen was the most interesting, silently snorted Qian'er Gongsu and withdrew, still listening to Huaichun's gentle singing:

In the past, the peach source was Xu Wenjin, and at this time the end of the world was far away.

What is the hate? What's the shortcoming? Who can send thousands of sorrows......

Thinking of Qianlong's indulgent appearance, He Shen smiled silently, turned around, and saw Liu Baoqi coming around from behind the palace of Shanning, so he knew that he had just spoken to Yan Yan, so he beckoned over and asked with a smile: "Does the fifteenth master still have something to say to you?" When will you leave Beijing? ”

Liu Baoqi was thinking about things with his back hand, and when he saw He Shen greeting, he hurriedly smiled and hurried over a few steps, and said: "Lou Guangjie of the Ministry of Rites said that Guizhou is remote, and the student Tong Shengsheng talks about eight shares, and he still uses Lu Liuliang's "Spring and Autumn Handouts". Lu Liuliang was a rebel of the previous dynasty, and if a sentence and a half of a sentence were revealed in the article examination paper, everyone would not be able to eat and carry out. This has been ruined for decades, and there are still books about rebellious criminals in the poor mountains! There is no reason to reinvent the edict for this, so I have to ask the fifteenth master to show it. He Shen felt a little unbelievable when he heard this, and asked, "What did the fifteenth master say?" Liu Baoqi said with a smile: "The fifteenth master said that not only Yungui, but also Guangxi has such a thing. Please ask for instructions from the Long Live Lord, and the Long Live Lord approved three words: 'Got it'. The fifteenth master said that he could print some lecture notes of the four books in the Ming edition and distribute them to the county school palaces, and the emperor said that he knew, so he would not blame his subordinates for any mistakes. Later, when it came to the purchase of timber from the Old Summer Palace, the transportation of marble materials from Yunnan to Guizhou to build roads, and the fact that the copper miners had secretly transported copper to Guangzhou, there was a cult among the copper miners who instigated trouble, and told me to pay attention to the study and politics, and to report it if I knew about it. The fifteenth master is a careful person, and he repeatedly told him a lot, saying that Ah Gui wanted to come in, and I came out. ”

Yan Yan is careful, of course He Shen knows, he himself is a fine person, saying that the Old Summer Palace procurement of wood and stone has his own business, because he asked: "Ah Gui has arrived, so fast?" - What did the fifteenth master say about building roads? ”

"The price of materials is too expensive, and the ICBC for road construction is also two cents higher." Liu Baoqi said indifferently, "This is not my serious envoy, the fifteenth master said that he would wait for Qian Feng to enter Beijing." I'm going to go on the road tomorrow, do you have anything to do with Zhongtang Guizhou? He Shen walked along, listening to him talk about the wood of the Old Summer Palace and the road construction bank, his heart sank, the silver was approved by the Ministry of Industry and Liu Quan, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the Guizhou Domain Treasury was out, which was equivalent to the Guizhou Province and the imperial court paying for the reimbursement of one head, and the extra price difference was more than 400,000 taels, although he did not dare to bring it up, in fact, it had entered Liu Quan's private account. Originally, the Guizhou Domain did not have much silver, and in order to avoid money, the extra money was spent by the Copper Administration. The four or five yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Chongwenmen Tax Customs, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Guizhou Domain's Copper Administration Department are not able to find out even if they are immortals, could it be that Qian Feng actually smelled something? This matter shook out, and there were hundreds of Beijing officials who fell in, and they wanted to be killed or deposed, and the first one was him and Shen! …… He Shen thought that it was already a mess, his face was smiling, his eardrum was ringing, and his heartbeat was rapid...... I only listened to these words in a trance, until Liu Baoqi asked: "Can Zhongtang allocate tens of thousands of more silver?" Only then did he suddenly come back to his senses and asked in a panic: "Isn't it already dialed, is this another thing?" Liu Baoqi smiled and said, "I just went back!" The book was printed, and the county schools were divided into a little, and I took office as a new official and took advantage of the momentum of the middle hall to set a fire. ”

He Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only then came back to his senses, and said absentmindedly: "This matter can't rely on the imperial court, once the province has a rule, there is no way to deal ......with it" He groaned, suddenly had an idea, and said with a smile, "But your new official can think of me with three fires, this is also fate, I will quietly allocate 80,000 yuan to you from the garden worker Yu Yin." You go to my house in the evening to see Liu Quan, and ask him to do it for you, I still have two people going to Guizhou on a business trip, you go together, and it is more convenient to greet them in the post station - you make a list, and don't mention a word about the Xiuxue Palace. The Ming version of the handout was approved by the fifteenth master, and if he made an article on it, others would not bite it. Liu Baoqi heard him play an official tone, there was no hope, and when he saw that he said "eighty thousand", he grinned with joy, and promised without words: "I will definitely come at night!" There are 80,000 taels of silver, and I can also add two more people from each county to the money and grain, and the merit of Zhongtang is great......" he said, and went away with a smile...... He Shen looked at his back with a smile and turned around the bamboo forest, then turned around, paced to the east study step by step, and walked all the way thinking about the winch in his heart: Qian Feng did it himself! And it's a killer weapon as soon as it comes up, just like the "soul breaker stick" and "invisible gun" said in the drum words, come and go without a trace! If this is not enough, the terrible thing is that I don't know what kind of medicine is in Qian's gourd beforehand - he has almost no eyes and ears in Guizhou - God knows what evidence this white-faced scholar carried came to Beijing in person! What's even more frightening is that there is now a "fifteenth master" who is good friends with Qian Feng, and never has a heart-to-heart relationship with himself, just look at Qianlong's perfunctory face, it is Qianlong, and his trust in Qian Feng is still above himself, and he has revealed his mouth several times that Qian Feng is a "great sage and Confucian student". He knew in his heart that Qianlong was intimate and loving, and this kindness was just like the owner who treated the bookkeeper who was good at financial management, and the slave who could accompany the master to tease the bored son for fun in his spare time. ——Originally, he wanted to send two people to Guizhou to use silver to fill the gaps and flatten the accounts everywhere, but He Shen suddenly became suspicious at this moment: Do you know that Qian Feng did not make precautions, and put down the nails and waited for his own saw? - Destroy him! ——He Shen's heart flashed like a flash, and then he became hesitant again: Qian Feng is not a small member, he is a feudal official who lives in eight seats, how to do it? A failure is a disaster, that is, a success, the situation is very different from Cathay, and the imperial court does not die out of thin air without exhaustive accountability...... When it came to the end, He Shen found that he only had an unstable backer, not even a real friend, and it was really difficult to sing alone without a single filament! Just thinking about it in a state of confusion, he had no clue, and when he saw Bu Ren coming over from the gable wall of the east study with a recital box, he hurriedly coughed in his heart, stood still, and asked, "Is it the excerpt of the Heishui River?" Where is this time going? ”

"Oh, and Zhongtang!" Bu Ren lowered his head and squinted his eyes in the aisle, and when he heard the voice, he looked up and saw that it was He Shen, and said with a smile: "It was written by Zhaoda Junmen, and the fifteenth master read it and transferred it to Ah Gui Liu Yong and you three military planes, just now you are not there, the two of them have seen it, and I am looking for you!" Only then did He Shen know that Ah Gui had entered the garden, so he opened the box in Bu Ren's hand, shook it open to browse, and asked with a smile: "When did Gui Zhongtang come in?" Is Liu Yong still in the study? Bu Ren smiled: "Yes." Gui Zhongtang didn't stop his horse at Luheyi, and came in directly to apologize, and this time he was talking to Lord Liu. ”

He Shen said "um" and stopped talking, seeing that Ma Guangzu and Zhaohui had been in contact with the excerpt, Zhaohui was not ready to join the camp, and ordered Ma Guangzu to move the camp to the west for twenty-five miles, and confronted the Huo army with the momentum of horns. He didn't see anything to do, so he held the fold and said, "You go first, I'll go see the two of them." After that, he turned around and walked up the stairs into the east study, and saw Liu Yong and Ah Gui sitting and talking to each other. He Shen arched his hands and said with a smile: "I just talked about Jiamu Gong with the emperor, I thought you were in a hurry, at least I got it tonight, I didn't expect to meet so soon!" ”

Liu Yong and Ah Gui had already gotten up and gave up their hands. When Ah Gui looked at He Shen, he seemed to be slightly fatter than when he left Beijing, his cheekbones were already thin and red, but now he looked more moisturized and pink, and the circles around his eyes were still slightly dull - this is evidence that he has not slept at night. Liu Yong knew that He Shen was extremely trimmed, and saw that the corners of his boots and robes were stained with grass clippings, and the buttons of his collar robe were loose-he had never described it like this, Liu Yong couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "You seem to have something on your mind?" ”

"Ahh - Nope. He Shen was startled, saw Liu Yong looking at himself, looked up and down his body, and said with a smile, "Walking down the road to see the excerpts, I forgot about it." What's going on with this Zhaohui, he was surrounded for a while, and he said it was very dangerous; After a while, he said that it doesn't matter, not only to contact the big battalion, but also to our outnumbered enemies, but not to enter the army, like a sheep against the horns of the confrontation, what kind of trick is this? As he spoke, he looked at Ah Gui and sighed and said, "Jiamu Gong has lost a lot of weight......

Ah Gui is really much thinner than when he left Beijing, the original slightly rectangular face, because the cheeks are slightly sunken, the cheekbones are protruding a lot, the eye circles are also a little loose and dull, and slightly puffy, the hair on the forehead is newly shaved, because of the rest, the gray braid root is left small, and the total is the thickness of the thumb, only the two heavy thick eyebrows are still the same, lying on the eyebrow bones like a silkworm. He was looking at the map, listening to He Shen talking to him, he only raised his eyes and nodded and smiled, his eyes still did not leave the map, and said, "Are you also getting wider!" It's hard to pay for old age and thin - just met the emperor? I want to see you at this time, but I'm afraid that the emperor will have a meal and rest. I'm discussing with Chongru......"

He Shen expected that he was going to go in and ask for peace, and subconsciously wanted this first auxiliary military plane to touch his face again, Qianlong was traveling with Sichun to play the dragon and phoenix, at this time, please see no one who does not touch the moldy head...... With an idea, with a smile on his face, he said: "Come out and talk to Liu Baoqi for a while, I don't know what the emperor is doing." But the emperor is in a good mood this time. You came back from a business trip on order, and the emperor also knew that you were coming in, so you should go in and say goodbye. The emperor is still on the side of the cold hot springs at the moment. After eating tea, Liu Yong got up with a smile and said, "I have a case to play, let's go in together." Ah Gui also got up, and as soon as He Shen sent them out, he called the eunuch Xiao Sula and instructed: "You go to the construction site of the North Park to call Liu Quan in, and tell Liu Quan to let Ding Boxi and Jing Chaoge go up to my house at night, and they will go on a long business." Listening? As he spoke, he handed over five taels of silver, and the eunuch was overjoyed to thank him.
