Qianlong just came back from the imperial garden, practiced a trip to Buku, shot an arrow stack and played a set of Tai Chi, looked very energetic, drank a bowl of old ginseng soup and came to Changbai Mountain wine to eat, Wang Ren waited to change clothes, changed into a sea blue river silk cotton robe, put on a stone green cotton gown, and did not wear a satin crown, Wang Ren carefully knotted his hair, knelt on the ground and dexterously tied a gold inlaid turquoise thread for him. The hall was quiet, and when he heard the footsteps of He Shen, he signed up and asked for peace, so Qianlong turned around and said with a smile: "You came in first?" Yu Minzhong was busy with Ah Gui at the military plane last night, and I ordered him to sleep for a while, and just rewarded two bowls of hot **. Just wait for him here, and he'll come in a moment. He Shen felt a slight vinegar in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "The lord is really considerate of his subordinates. In fact, I don't sleep all night, like Minzhong and the minion at this age, it doesn't matter. The slave wrote more than a dozen letters to the Yamen, the governor of the Yandao Transport, the customs governor, last night, and went sleepy, thinking that the literary style was too bad, and reading the poetry rhyme, and hurriedly thinking about mundane affairs and elegant affairs, and thinking about how many things in the garden, and the chaos did not sleep! ”

Qianlong listened with a smile, and then shouted: "Reward Heshen with a bowl of ** to show fairness!" The eunuch here smiled and promised to go to Zhangluo, and when he saw Qin Meimei, the chief eunuch of Cining Palace outside, tiptoe in, Qianlong asked, "Is Lafayette up?" You came just in time, I will go to the Old Summer Palace today and take a few of their ministers. I'm going to say hello to her old man later. What does Galeries Lafayette command? ”

"N-no." Qin Meimei bowed, looked up with a dry smile and said, "Long live the Lord didn't go over last night, Lafayette is worried, let the slave come over and take a look at the master-the master is good-looking, Lafayette will be relieved......" He Shen took a small bite, he saw Qin Meimei's eyes wandering in confusion, a bit like a frightened rabbit, stunned and forced a smile to speak and wink, feeling a little funny. Qianlong didn't pay attention, waved his hand and said, "You go!" Qin Meimei was stunned for a moment, and swallowed back what she wanted to say, hit Qian'er and kowtowed again.

He Shen held half a bowl of **, watched Qin Meimei withdraw strangely, turned around and smiled and was about to speak, but Qianlong asked: "Have you read the recital of the provincial governors to replay Li Shiyao's case?" He Shen hurriedly smiled, put down the bowl and replied: "The slave only read the abridgement, and the text has not had time to read it." As far as the minister knew, only the governor of Anhui, Min Juyuan, advocated forgiveness and waiting for death not to be decided. He also followed the example of the Eight Deliberations, but the minions did not see the original text. ”

"I've seen his recitals." Qianlong said, "Listening to what you meant before, it seems that you also advocate leniency?" ”

"Yes." He Shen knelt down and straightened up, meeting Qianlong's gaze, "Li Shiyao is not a habitual offender, he made an accidental mistake." The Eight Discussions are also a precedent in the ancestral family law. It doesn't matter, what matters is that Li Shiyao is indeed a capable official, and no one can compare with appeasement and security and arrest thieves. It is beneficial to stay in the imperial court, and the imperial court is now lacking such talents. ”

Qianlong glanced at He Shen silently, and said after a moment of silence: "One hundred thousand taels of attempted corruption, he has a heart to be punished, and he receives three hundred taels of gold on a birthday, which is also a punishable trip!" ”

"Yes, that's what the emperor said!" He Shen lowered his eyebrows and said, "That's why it's changed to beheading the prisoner, which is enough to show my emperor's purpose of leniency." Just killed Cathay and deposed Ji Yun, the officialdom has been shocked, and it can be used to appease a little. Li Shuyao has a little popularity, and he must change his heart and work hard to send envoys, there is an example of Guo Xiu in the previous dynasty, and there is an example of Lu Zhuo in this dynasty, which also shows that the emperor takes the law of the Holy Ancestor as the law and the heart of the Holy Ancestor as the heart. ”

This is really thorough and very insightful, it is Heshen's best wisdom to think carefully, it can be said that there is no false arrow, and Qianlong's mind is everywhere, and it is a fair and righteous way. Qianlong knew that he and Shen Yuminzhong had a gap with Li Shuyao, and when he saw that he saved Li Shuyao from death from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't help but sigh, looked at it for a long time, and sighed: "You are telling the truth." Ah Gui is a little bit of a fan of Fu Heng's melon field and plum, and Liu Yong has nothing to do with it. Yu Minzhong already advocated severe punishment, and he also told the truth. If you are willing to do this, I will be happy. "Because I saw Yu Minzhong come in," - you are here? Sitting with Heshen, he is talking about Li Shiyao! ”

"The minister has already heard the play against Shen." Yu Minzhong and He Shen sat side by side on the pestle, and they didn't look at He Shen, but only arched to Qianlong and said, "The Criminal Department is now out of prison, there is the saying 'saving lives but not saving deaths', Li Shiyao is not only greedy, he is in Yunnan Copper Administration, he killed copper miners without permission, did not declare or report, the three of them reported the first-instance verdict, dragged to the yamen and cut off their heads. It's heinous and brutal—it's another money. Min Juyuan didn't know whether he was confused or instigated by someone, so he cleverly confused the lord in the name of mercy and exonerated Li Shiyao. His heart is no different from the stubborn old officials of the Criminal Department. ”

When he said the words "instigated", he glanced at He Shen, and He Shen already felt that he had just listened all along, and looked ahead with a smile on his face. Qianlong had already made up his mind, but he didn't want to refute Yu Minzhong's recital, and said with a smile: "Li Shiyao has a forgivable crime that can be killed, so you and He Shen are right." People who can be killed or not, I am lenient, so I am not wrong. We have to go to the garden, and there is still a way to go, Minzhong has a word, how about coming back and playing again? Speaking of which, Yu Minzhong knew that he had left enough dignity for himself, and it was not appropriate to rap and beg for disgust, so he hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The minister and Li Shiyao did not celebrate the festival, and they did not want to kill him as fast. 'Leniency for government' is the emperor's major policy, and forgiveness can stabilize the officialdom and float people's hearts, which this layer of ministers did not take into account. Qianlong smiled and nodded, but did not speak again. Wang Lian and the eunuchs hurriedly withdrew first to prepare for the car. Because Qianlong didn't want to be publicized, the group went out from Shenwu Gate and rushed west.

I haven't been out of the Forbidden City for a long time, and Qianlong, who has been huddled in the palace for a winter, came to the outside of the city, and the cool breeze swept in with the sedan curtain, and he immediately felt refreshed and refreshed. Wang Lian saw him looking outside with a biased face, and saw him touching the cup, knowing that he was thirsty, he hurriedly took the silver bottle and poured water, pulled up the curtains on both sides, and said with a smile: "The Forbidden City is good, it is a good scene, and this outside is a good scenery!" Master, look at the peach blossoms, how good, the willows, how good! How good that water is! It's so nice......"

Qianlong waved his hand slightly, stopping him from saying "how good". Looking out from the sedan curtain, the right side is Jingshan, like the green screen stacked on top of each other, the eyes are full of new green flowers dotted with bright colors, the left side is the outer city of the royal river, the willows on the bank are thousands of wisps swaying in the wind, the geese and ducks in the water are cruising in the blue waves, and the red wall and yellow tiles of the palace pavilion on the opposite bank are drawn into a mess. The northwest of Jingshan is an open area, looking at it from afar in the sedan chair that fluctuates up and down slightly, the sunlight reflects the water color of the sea a piece of water, the pear blossom has been remnant of the peach is blazing, the pink and white daisy green are delicate and incomprehensible, the fragrance of the flowers is light and thick when it sneaks with the wind, and it is pleasant to refresh the spleen and intestines. Seeing He Shen Yu Minzhong riding a horse and walking by the sedan chair, they all looked energetic, looking at the surrounding scenery with great attention, Qianlong smiled and asked: "Didn't He Shen say that he wanted to 'get up'?" What is the description of the foreground? ”

"Ah, master......" He Shen couldn't prevent Qianlong from talking to himself through the car window, and was stunned and hurriedly smiled, "Where is it elegant for a while?" The minions are working on it! Well...... The mountains and the lake reflect together, the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant - does the emperor see it? Qianlong said with a smile: "This is a set of sentences from the Preface to King Teng's Pavilion." Yu Minzhong said with a smile: "This is also difficult for Heshen." In fact, a large copy of ancient and modern articles is not good. Yu Xin's 'falling flowers and green cover fly together, and the willows and Gongqing flags are one color' is also the spring scenery, and Wang Bo's 'falling autumn water' is also turned out from here. Today, there is Heshen again, which can be regarded as a reflection before and after. He Shen smiled: "Min Gong is really unreadable!" How do I know so much? Ready-made birds and flowers, fragrant lakes and mountains, just come over to take the exam. Qianlong said: "The poetry couplet is good for Jing'er, Yu Xin's poems are fresh, and the two sentences of 'falling flowers and green covers' are his style." Yu Minzhong said with a smile: "In Lao Du's poem "Spring Memories of Li Bai", there is 'Bai is also invincible in poetry, and he is not in a group. Fresh Yu Kaifu, Junyi Bao joined the army. In "Rong Zhai Essays", a veteran listened to the discussion and said: "Since it is "invincible", how can it be compared to Yu Baolai? Some people say, 'One is "fresh" but not "handsome", and the other is "handsome" but not "fresh." Li Bai is "fresh" and "handsome", so he compares himself to "invincible". He Shen's sentence is neither a spring and white snow, nor a lower riba person, and it is both vulgar and elegant, and it can be regarded as a 'elegant and vulgar appreciation'! He said that he couldn't understand all these parables, but he also heard the meaning of ridicule, but he never cared about it, and said with a smile: "Ji Yun once said that Wang Ba was ashamed, 'neither man nor woman, neither man nor woman'. This is right, it is the tone of the eunuch. Qianlong listened to the two of them arguing, but he just smiled and ate tea without saying anything.

Talking and laughing, Junchen and his entourage have arrived in the suburbs of the western suburbs. This area in the northwest of the forbidden city because of the repair of the Old Summer Palace, are divided into the forbidden garden, there are no civilian mixed houses along the way, the original pile of stacks of bricks, tiles, wood and stone like a hill have been vacated into the new material field in the southwest of the garden, demolished a vast flat land, the north looks at the wild sky and the lake and the fields are connected, the wheat field is blue and green and the waves are rippling, there seems to be an idler who walks in the spring at the pole of the eye, the child pulls the kite string and runs with his feet, it is an idyllic scene, the stone wall in the west stands according to the canal, stretches to the south, it is extremely eye-catching. There are openings in the stone wall every half a mile, some soldiers are strictly forbidden, some people come and go and people go in and out, the new canal opened outside the wall has not yet been completed, the migrant workers at the bottom of the canal are like ants, they are shirtless and carry the earth and stones, there are people patrolling back and forth every short distance on the top of the canal, it seems that they are overseers. Bamboo trees have already been planted on the inside of the stone wall, and the red mansions, white towers, high pavilions, and long pavilions are looming among the dense and verdant tree shadows. From afar, the majestic purple and green are shining, and the sun is steaming and the mist is spectacular and dazzling - this is the Garden of All Nations, the famous Old Summer Palace. In addition to the military affairs, the first messenger is the governor to build a garden, everything here is well understood, seeing that the emperor and Yu Minzhong are all watching, on the horse with a whip in one hand, the other hand is far away: "This side is a convenient door, now it is convenient to transport stones and materials, and in the future, each gate will be stationed in a battalion of soldiers to guard the garden - the double gate in front, and in the future, a nine-wing building will be raised, and all the evergreen vines will be used to weave a long screen of 'longevity without borders'." This area of the stone wall on the ditch and the ditch, all have to be clear water circulation, the stone wall is both the palace wall, but also the canal foundation, the wall is planted under the wall of the strange flowers and plants irrigation is also convenient, this door out, to the east half of the mile is the Qingfan Temple, the future to live in, Lafayette, the lady of the noble lord and the master of the Buddha or something, it is also very convenient. The garden is thirty miles deep to the west, the gate that has been opened there is facing the post road, go to see the red leaves of the West Mountain in autumn, and it is familiar to Yuquan Mountain...... "His mouth is like a hanging river, while walking with the sedan chair, the mouth says that the hand is compared, there is the Wanguo Post House, where is the Kyushu Qing Banquet, there is the Zhengda Guangming Palace, this side is the Qinzheng Qinxian Palace, what Bitong Academy, Ciyun Puhu, Xinghua Spring Pavilion, Mountain High Water Long Building, Heaven and Earth a Spring, Siyi Study, Fanghu Shengjing, Laningju, Daoning Zhai, Sushang Zhai, Yunqin Zhai, Yishan Pavilion, Yanxiang Pavilion, Shufeng Room, Aicui Building, Ancient Yun Xuan, Green Corridor, Peichawu, this is Buckingham Palace, the other is the Kremlin, that is Romanesque, this is the Elysée...... Talking and pointing the way. Qianlong Yu Minzhong and dozens of eunuchs and palace maids followed him to point and stroke, dizzying, listening to the five gods confused, the road has been remembered, I don't know the vertical and horizontal, and the names are also confused and difficult to distinguish each other...... Listen to Heshen and say, "...... This door into the Qinxiang Pavilion, the south of the pavilion through the Xiangyuan room is the Baoyue Building, the west of the Baoyue Building is the mosque, the east side is next to the Xinghua Spring Pavilion, and then to the west through a flower dock called 'Wuling Spring' to the Guanyun Pavilion......" Qianlong smiled: "It seems that you can't finish talking about another hour." Since this place is close to Baoyue Tower, why do you have to take the double gate main gate? Just look at Baoyue Tower today, this garden can't be seen in a day. ”

"Don't say a day, you can't watch it in a month, and don't expect it to be two years if you look at it carefully." He Shen smiled, and when he turned around, he saw from a distance that Qin Meimei was hesitating from the south, and was stunned for a moment, Qin Meimei had already walked down the bottom of the ditch and couldn't see it, and her heart was suddenly suspicious, but she hurriedly turned around and continued: "...... The north of Haizi is connected to Haizi, and the garden is covered with the garden and the Old Summer Palace, with a radius of 400 miles! Ji Yun told me that this is the first garden in ancient and modern China and abroad! Saying that he got off the horse, Yu Minzhong was also busy, and ordered the migrant workers who were picking up the soil to stop their work, and the eunuchs set up a team to fight, and the eunuch who carried the sedan chair held the sedan pole with one hand to cross the royal ditch that was turning over the earth, and entered the garden from the nearby door.

The garden is under construction, bounded by the entrance road, the bamboo trees in the south are dense and the pavilions reflect each other, the road is winding and winding, but the north is full of material piles and ash pits, some places are planing the foundation, some places are erecting scaffolding in the building wall, the mortar mud and water are all over the ground, the reed sheds where the migrant workers stay, the tattered and scattered ground is spread out next to the lime pond, the migrant workers who are far and near the construction have long been avoided, and they all crawl on the spot and kowtow under the scaffolding, and there are almost no human shadows, and it looks very disorganized...... Therefore, the garden is far less beautiful to the north than the outside wall. He Shen saw that Qianlong couldn't stop looking at the reed shed of migrant workers with his eyes, but he didn't want the emperor to be "close to the people" at this time, and said with a smile: "You can't stay in this place, the pot of glue boiling over there is supported, plus the smell of lime and paint, and it is really uncomfortable to smoke when you get close - hit this side, go this way...... In front of him is the Qinxiang Pavilion...... "He is now a guide and a sedan chair, like a lantern festival on a dry boat, the old man is busy left and right, and his clever footsteps and clever speech are pointed out in front of the window: "That is Dao Ning Zhai, a slip of the palace, in the past it was Le Xing Zhai, Jingyan Zhai, Shufang Zhai, Su Shang Zhai, the east of Zhai is the Xiangyuan room, and the white dome room covered by the old cypress tree in the south is Baoyue Building." ”

He said excitedly, but Qianlong couldn't care about following his fingers to see the scenery, but he saw the thick green and green, or the road covered the sky, or the hedge between the road, or the branches and ancient vines were coiled, or the red maple and poplar were all over the road, there were small bridges and flowing water, and for a while I saw the sparse and clear, this square passed the other side, where can the eyes be seen? Listening to He Shen say, "This is Baoyue Tower", he came back to his senses, and the sedan chair had fallen steadily.

Baoyue Tower is actually a palace, covering an area of not very large, about four acres. Qianlong got off the sedan chair, by and Shen Yu Minzhong to guide around the palace to watch, is a regulation of the upper pavilion and lower hall, the palace is divided into two major parts of the sleeping palace and the feast palace, the Zhou turn is equipped with the dining room, the tea room, the pharmacy, the dining room, the bathing room is built into a seamless integration according to the hall, the top of the pavilion is a round gourd shape, the spire is facing upward, a bit like the appearance of the white tower in the North Sea, even the pavilion pillar, the railing of the pavilion outside the building, and the underground floor is laid, all are white marble, the ice carving snow masonry is crystal white. The three of them went upstairs from the inner spiral staircase, and He Shen gently stomped on the floor and said, "Master Rong loves cleanliness the most, so it is designed like this." During the construction, a hot spring was dug out, the earth dragon in the hall does not use charcoal in winter, open the spring gate, the hot water flows through the earth dragon, the palace is so warm that you don't need to wear cotton clothes, and the water in the bathing room is also a hot spring - Coco repairs this palace, and Coco has this spring, which is not providential? It is the good fortune of the emperor and your lord! "There are hot springs here, Yu Minzhong has come to see it many times, and there are places where the spring water can boil eggs, and when he heard He Shen say this, he only echoed it: "The Holy Son of Heaven is blessed with all the spirits of heaven." Qianlong only smiled silently, wandering in front of the white marble fence and pacing by the fence to look out.

What a vast and magnificent garden! The north side is still under construction, to the south and west, there is a sea of trees and flowers, and countless pavilions, pavilions, bridges, squares, and corridors are scattered and extend forward, drowning in the "sea". Or grandiose, or slim, or small, or majestic, standing in the green wave looming, graceful and graceful. Romanesque, Versailles, Indian, and Turkish buildings compete with each other, and the style is so novel that it makes people fascinated...... Qianlong has seen the pattern carefully several times, and only when he is immersed in the scene does he know that the beautiful and beautiful wheel algae bloom is lush, such as entering the seven saints of Guci Mountain, and the feeling is indescribable! He pointed to Lou Xi and asked He Shen, "Is this the mosque?" ”

"Yes!" He Shen hurriedly said, "It was built in imitation of the Niujie Mosque." However, compared with the Buddha hall of Galeries Lafayette, it cannot be built too big, and can only accommodate more than 200 people to worship. The Qur'an is engraved in Persian and is being gilded. Qianlong smiled: "Very good, thoughtful." On weekdays, it is only used to worship in the palace of Rong Guifei, and there are Muslim envoys to the court, which can accommodate 200 people and is as spacious as possible. ”

Qianlong paced around the pavilion on the platform with his hands behind his back for two weeks, and when he saw Yu Minzhong and Shen also following him, he turned around and pointed around, and said, "On that day, this was the former Ming Emperor's Garden. He built this garden to release eagles, hunt cocks, and lackeys for fun. Kangxi Ye built Changchun Garden, Yuanmingyuan for the Fuyi Rouyuan, I am the last wish of the first emperor of Kangxi, the garden merger and reconstruction, Zhao Chinese civilization algae world peace, enough to call the crown of all countries pilgrimage ceremony, and for the queen mother in her later years of recuperation resort, this purpose is benevolence and filial piety, with Taoism to soothe the people of Si Mo Dayan, and the original heart of the Holy Ancestor Shizong in one line, not for pleasure. You have to understand my painstaking efforts. ”

A gust of spring breeze is blowing, the garden is full of bamboo trees and flowers, Qianlong's robe is gently braided, standing against the wind leaning against the building, looking very chic, really a little spring breeze proud, pointing with his hand, said: "The country is scorching, the money in the treasury is like a mountain, if I don't do these things, future generations want to do it, I'm afraid that the time will be insufficient." The useless surplus wealth is scattered to the people, and it will also make up for the lack of civil use, which has become the capital of livelihood and nourishment. Near-term and far-sighted strategies complement each other. If such a good thing is to be done, if the children and grandchildren have plenty of money, they should continue to do it......" He said with a smile on his face and slowly moved downstairs, Yu Minzhong and Shen Wei only said yes, and they didn't have time to twist the rope on their legs, and followed with a smile and the corner of their robes. Wang Lian and other eunuchs have been standing by with their heads down, busy coming up and carrying Qianlong on the sedan chair to the south, passing the Xinghua Spring Pavilion to the west and then to the south - planning to go out and return to the city from the main gate of the double gate of the Old Summer Palace.

About already knew in advance that Qianlong came to inspect the reason, all the way to not see a miscellaneous person, each road intersection has a good camp and the Old Summer Palace guards and the garden eunuch trinity stand guard to greet and send, full of birds and warblers in the garden, the trees are deep moss and cool very quiet, stay in the "Wuling Spring Fang", somehow, the front of the people and buildings bustling words are lively. Yu Minzhong had walked so that his feet and legs were sore, he heard the voice of someone in front of him, and looked at the pergola with his hand, it was actually a Qingtang tile house, the road had also changed to a dirt road, there were dozens of houses, two lines of streets, it was actually a rural market town, there were even tea shops, restaurants and shops, and faintly you could hear the cries of "sugar gourd", "fried fruit" and "hot wonton"! Seeing Yu Minzhong's surprised face, He Shen asked with his eyes, and pointed with a smile: "There is a Daoxiang Village in the Grand View Garden. Our big royal garden, can not be without the embellishment of customs and folk customs - here the house is low, upstairs can not be seen, this is actually an imitation of a small farm set, five elements and eight for thirty-six squares, eunuchs as palace maids sell wine, the emperor is tired of government affairs to come here for a walk, you can relax, but also the right to be 'close to the people'. It's like getting used to big fish and meat, and it's quite fresh to change a plate of wild vegetables. ”

They spoke, Qianlong had heard it in the sedan chair, raised the curtains and looked forward, and sure enough, they had arrived at the small market in the township, there were cattle, horses, donkeys, mules, firewood, charcoal, grain, and rice carts at the entrance of the street, and the dirt roads on the streets were sprinkled and cleaned, and there were all kinds of people dressed as village maids, bearers, peddlers, and bookkeepers. The giggling laughter heard from afar was closer, and when I looked at it, it was the royal grandson, elder brother, and princess Gege who were close to the branch of the clan. Only then did Qianlong know that the students of Yuqing Palace still had such a place to go after class. Seeing the emperor's eight-person Minghuang sedan chair coming, the people here did not kneel down and salute, shouting and selling as usual, Qianlong couldn't help but be a smile, but he felt that he was forced to come up, and he wanted to relieve himself, seeing his daughter Ten Princess with a group of girls looking at the store, he hurriedly put down the curtains, paused with his feet, and the eunuchs who carried the sedan chair fell with a long shout of "oh". This time, the eunuchs and palace maids on the "street" were stunned - it was originally said that the emperor would not stay here, but now he gets off the sedan chair and salutes or not? Can't you act in the "play"? Du Zha looked at and Shen Yu Minzhong. The two ministers were also stunned.

But Qianlong did not get out of the sedan chair. This kind of thing is feces and urine, it's okay if you don't want to, the more you want to be in a hurry, the more you want to hold it tightly, he drinks ginseng soup in the morning, drinks wine, gets on the sedan chair and doesn't stop drinking tea, in Baoyue Building has "had", there are many people who are inconvenient for the eyes, and I want to put water in the east toilet used by the guards at the double gate, but I feel unbearable at the moment. But this is "on the street", I can't see where there is an east toilet, even if there is, the male daughter Sun Eunuch Palace Girl is all over the street, and the sedan chair is in a hurry - Zhang Huang is looking for a thatched house, this "Ninth Five-Year" is too "that", Wang Lian stood beside him, and saw that his face was known to be eight or nine, but where did he dare to say more?

Seeing that people were gradually getting more and more around, and the sedan chair was "squatting" on the street, Yu Minzhong asked a few times, Qianlong was silent, how could Wang Lian dare to speak? He Shen was also stunned at first: What is the reason why the sedan car is parked and not getting off the sedan chair in this kind of place for no reason, and he does not answer the question? He looked at the sedan curtains that he had put down, his tongue on his cheeks to think about the front and back, and his heart flashed to understand - look left and right, go to a grocery store on the street without squeaking, look at the shelf, and say to the "boss": "Give me that carved jar and keep the account!" ”

The "boss" is also a eunuch, who was looking at the Qianlong sedan chair through the door with a dumb eye, and when he saw that He Shen was talking and hurriedly turned around and moved it down carefully, he smiled and said: "This is a game used in pickles in the Goryeo Kingdom, you actually fell in love?" - What kind of account, it's a villain! "I also dusted the jar with chicken feathers, and my mouth was verbose" I wrapped it in paper and tied it, and turned back to send it to the house-" Before he finished speaking, He Shen was so anxious that he hugged the jar in the cabinet, and lost another sentence: "Keep accounts!" Unhurriedly, he stepped back to the front of the sedan chair, lifted the curtain with one hand and sent the jar in the other, and whispered: "The master is convenient ......" smiled and withdrew from the body......

Qianlong was already pale, and carefully released the water before he returned to color, and said to Wang Lian with a smile: "It's true that people say that water and fire are ruthless, and good students learn to wait for messengers!" - This Heshen is a worm in my belly! He coughed lightly, smiled and got out of the sedan chair.

A group of people looked at the sedan chair with a lot of doubts in their hearts, how could they send a jar and people come out? But at this time, I didn't have time to think about it, and when I saw Yu Minzhong and Shen kneeling, they knelt in chaos. Qianlong saw that the shops all over the street were hidden in the thick green green gauze tent, the remote country town in the north of the Yangtze River, the sedan chair was dazed, and he was comfortable and happy when he stepped on the moist muddy soil, his arms were spread out, and he smiled at a group of princes and grandchildren: "Is the world and the law equal!" He Shen arranged such a place, which made people forget the constraints of etiquette for a while. It's boring to make such a fuss - get up, get up! Feel free to go shopping! ”

So everyone laughed and got up. Here the first ten princesses are the youngest of the character generation. At the age of seven or eight, lively, innocent and cute, his little hand touched the dirt on his knees, and he laughed crisply: "Amma, this village was originally built by Heshen?" It's fun! I've been here a few times! - Did you just do it in the sedan chair? I thought you wouldn't get out of the car! As he spoke, he arched into Qianlong's arms and pointed to the west of the street and said, "There are gourds and gourds over there, with red nails!" There were winter gnats in it, and it only cost one or two halves of silver...... My mothers didn't have any money...... You buy me one, and the Monkey King Dou Iron Fan Princess Clay Figure, it's also cheap......"

"A gourd is halved in half, and it is said to be cheap?" Qianlong was led by her hand and said with a smile, "That's five buckets of white rice, a poor man's ration for three months!" - Don't let the 'He Shen and Shen' mix in the future, forget what the Queen Mother told you? If you don't bring money, am I the one who brings money? The tenth princess shook Qianlong's hand and didn't let go: "Ama Ama, no, no...... You buy it for me, can you buy it for me......" Yu Minzhong and Shen watched the ten grids rubbing Qianlong, one old and one young, laughing. Yu Minzhong said with a smile: "The emperor still wants to go back to Da Nei, I told them that I owe them first, this is called credit...... Qianlong pointed to He Shen and said: "He will be your grandfather in the future." If you want money and things, look for him ......" He Shen hurriedly said: "The slave deserves to be ...... Last time, Gege said that he wanted a parrot cage with nine beams, eighteen buildings and seventy-two ridges, and the slave made one with gold wire, and also made one with bamboo wire, all right! What do you want, what will the minions buy you......"

Qianlong saw that the stone color of the double gate embankment in the east of Wuling Village was old and dark, and the moss on it was covered with old kudzu vines, and he knew that it was the original old system, so he pointed and asked: "Does this water flow into Kunming Lake?" He Shen coaxed Shigege to stop making trouble, and responded with a smile: "Yes!" It turned out that there was Baotu Spring in the lake, which had been silted up for more than ten years, and the spring water of Shangtou Haizi was poured into it, but this spring sprayed water again. In order to prevent the embankment from overflowing, the Jinshui River was dredged in the lower reaches of the lake, and the sluice gate was also repaired. There are more than 100 hectares of rice fields to the south of the double gate, and once it is rectified, irrigation will not be worried. Qianlong also asked, and when he saw Qin Meimei at the east end of the street, he beckoned over and asked, "Are you here too?" What's the matter? It seems that I saw you on the other side of Baoyue Tower! ”

"Ah, Your Majesty...... Be...... This and that......" Qin Meimei seemed a little embarrassed, her tongue was also knotted, and she kowtowed a few times before she came over spiritually, and said: "It was Lafayette who sent the slave over, saying that he would follow the master around the garden, and there was - well, this - there was a new game to go back and learn from her old man, uh-huh!" ”

Qianlong didn't care about it, but when he heard this, he felt that it was wrong, so he laughed and said, "What you said is strange. When can't you turn the garden? I want to follow me, like a ghost without an owner! You tell the truth, I'm just afraid of better! ”

"A few minions dare to bully the master!" Qin Meimei was so frightened that she was sweating all over, and kowtowed to the price of garlic, "There is a Lafayette lady above...... As soon as the master asked, he knew that these were really the words......"

This kind of thing came out plainly, and the group of naughty boys and brothers felt rare, and they all gathered around again, some of them stared dumbly, and some of them looked at his face with shrimp and shrimp, and shouted: "Your Majesty, he has a ghost in his heart, and his face is gray!" Some pointed to the embankment outside: "He's a spy - just on the embankment, he looked at the emperor's ......" "I saw that he was not a good thing, and he dared to be affectionate, he was really a thief............ There was a lot of noise and noise. He Shen had already thought that he was watching, but he couldn't figure out the reason for it for a while, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he just said: "Master, it's none of your business - still play, ah?" I'm in for a treat, Brother Mianqing will take the guys to the restaurant over there, and go back to Liu Quan to give money with a note! Alas, good, good...... Go, go......" sent off the group of masters with a smile on his face, and glanced at Yu Minzhong, but Yu Minzhong was looking at Qianlong's sedan chair, with a calm face on his face.

"The more you talk, the more you go." Qianlong sneered and said, "If I ask you, you want me to ask Lafayette!" I have always looked at your duty, and you are the first member of the reward for merit or not, but you have lost the spear with me! ”

"Don't dare...... It's true...... Ahh............h My mother didn't light the light, it's really stupid, this idea can't be explained! ”

There were also dozens of eunuchs and palace maids who followed the imperial sedan chair, and they couldn't help but laugh when they saw this usually commanding chief so embarrassed. That Qin Meimei was articulate, bowed her head and said, "It's a matter of the night, Lafayette and Niangniang talked about it." I don't know who passed on the words, saying that they would spoil the blessing or something, saying that the master's body and bones are important, and he was afraid that there would be blessings in this garden, so he asked the slaves to come and watch. Back to the master, what is called a 'return to the blessing', the slave doesn't know, and he doesn't dare to ask - you have always known the slave, you don't dare to go more than one step, and you don't dare to ask more words......"

Qianlong was already stunned when he heard half of it, and he was ashamed, annoyed and strange: The Queen Mother knew about last night's events this morning, and sent someone to keep an eye on herself, don't "spoil your body"! In front of so many people, this foolish eunuch "spoiled and blessed" one by one, and no matter how thick his face was, he couldn't hold it - which slut chewed his tongue behind his back? He looked at He Shen, he was smiling, Yu Minzhong was silent, and the eunuchs around him were silent one by one, and they didn't seem to look like the Queen Mother's "ear report to God". Looking at the surrounding scenery again, there are bells and whistles in the distance, and the vulgarity is unbearable in the near distance, which is already boring. He paced two steps aimlessly, kicked Qin Meimei's ass and scolded: "Bastard! Get up and take me to Cining Palace! ”

When he came, he was full of excitement, and when he returned, the curtains of the sedan car were tightly covered all the way, and he never moved it again. The eunuch carrying the sedan chair knew that he was upset, who would dare to slack off? It's like a slip of the wind. Some of the people who have come have been riding horses and some have taken mule carts and sedan chairs, only suffering Qin Meimei, and they have to "carry" in front of them on foot, he is also pampered and pampered, and when he stays outside the Cining Palace, he is already sweaty and heavily clothed, his legs are wooden, and he runs in to report it. Qianlong had a gloomy face, and said to Min Zhong and Shen: "You are also tired, hand over the sign tomorrow and come in again - you, whoever wants to live enough, will talk about today's affairs!" He glanced sideways at everyone, and everyone was suddenly swept by him by half - Qianlong had already gone.

The atmosphere in Cining Palace was not as sluggish and embarrassing as Qianlong thought, Qin Meimei didn't seem to have time to return to the garden to the Queen Mother, and stood in front of the big kang with a dry smile, wring hot towels for the Queen Mother. The queen sat on the edge of the kang and teased the sugar in the ** bowl with a small spoon. Niu Hulu's, Chen Jia's, Wang's, and Wei Jia's were also there, smiling and holding a handkerchief to the side, and Zhuo's was sitting on the pestle with a Persian cat in his arms, and tied a very small embroidered gold thread hat to the cat's neck, and Concubine Ding'an sat opposite the Queen Mother, and was talking at length about Gu Ji'er: "...... The hunter brought back the mother goose and was to slaughter it. Her mother was on the kang and said, 'Son, listen to the male goose outside, which makes people's hearts miserable!' Last night, I dreamed of Guanyin Niangniang and said, "You are blind, it is the retribution of your son's karma." If he wants to kill again, even he will be blind in the next life! Although it is a flat-haired animal, it also has a spirit in the end, let it live...... 'Although this hunter is ruthless by nature, he is a filial son, so he put the butcher's knife on the spot and spared the mother goose. Who knew that on the second day, the male and female geese flew back again, and there were a few small geese, circling around the house and calling. Orion opened the door and came out, and the male goose fell to the ground, bent his neck and spit out two taels of gold in the ground, beckoning the little goose to fly away......"

As she was talking, she stopped when she saw Qianlong coming in. Everyone listened to her, and they all knelt down in a daze, only Queen Nala got up to greet her. Concubine Rong left her seat and knelt down, the Persian cat jumped out with a cry of "Miao Woo", and scurried on the kang under the small hat, the Queen Mother smiled, and everyone laughed too. Only then did the Queen Mother say: "The emperor is here?" He sat at the table and spoke. Qianlong knew that this group of people were here to comfort the Queen Mother, so he smiled unnaturally and said, "Good mother!" The son went to the garden today to see the Baoyue Tower-" Seeing that the Queen Mother stretched out her hand to ask for the cat, she grabbed it nearby, smiled and described the scenery in the garden roughly, and said, "He Shen can still do things, my son used to only look at the patterns, but this time I went in, and I couldn't even tell the way." ”

"I know Heshen is capable, and I want you." The Queen Mother stroked the smooth fur of the cat's body with her hand, and the trick was used by her, purring and chanting, and said while stroking, "Point out the tenth princess to Fengshen Yinde, one is to comfort his loyalty, the other is to become a family member, and even more powerful - don't be busy, listen to me - he will be clever again, in the end he is a woman reincarnated." The more I look at him, the more he resembles! Governing the country is like governing the family, and the big things have to rely on men, and reincarnation is also a reason, I only care about pleasing your favor and making you happy, I am afraid that there will be some crooked ways, you are wise, you have a good reputation outside, and your own body is tighter than anything else. ”

He Shen is the reincarnation of Jinxia, which was originally a kind of mental idea in Qianlong, so it is just a case, but the Queen Mother is so serious that she takes care of things and takes it as a serious military affair! Thinking about it like this, yesterday's selection of women naturally made the Queen Mother even more vigilant. In addition, some people stirred up evil fire from it, and there was a matter of sending people to keep an eye on it. Qianlong was amused and angry, and hurriedly smiled: "Lafayette is too worried. The matter of reincarnation is vain and ethereal, how can it be done accurately? Even if he is really the reincarnation of a woman, he is already a man in this life, does he still care about the things of the previous life in this life? ”

"Do it right!" Seeing that Qianlong didn't think so, the Queen Mother was even more solemn and serious, and actually patted the cat lightly, frowned and said to everyone, "I said that the emperor may not believe this, and you still say that he is a layman!" My son, let me tell you a word, women are much more serious than men! I won't leave my hands for a few lifetimes! I hugged him and guarded him, not because I killed Jinxia, I still have a few days of longevity? I never care about your big things, I look at Fu Heng, Yin Jishan, Ji Yun, and Li Shiyao coldly, they are all serious people, and they are dead and deposed, although it may not be someone who is doing it, and it is only after they have been raised for decades that they are useless, and they should not be reminded of it? It's what you often say about prevention-prevention? She looked at Concubine Ding'an with her eyes, but the concubine didn't dare to take this stubble, and looked at the queen again, Nala said in a low voice: "Prevent the micro and gradually ......" Qianlong decided that the queen was playing behind her back, and the fire in her heart jumped one after another, bowed her head and endured it, and said with a smile: "What my mother taught me is that my son has remembered it." Now the Military Aircraft Department is headed by Ah Gui, Liu Yong and Yu Minzhong are also upright people, and Shen is complacent, not confused about major things, and financial management is a good hand. Ji Yun and Li Shiyao have been punished, and they are also dealt with according to the laws of the ancestors' families, and they will be used in the future. The son has a rule, swear not to be Tang Xuanzong, always vigilant, and never dare to hurt the heart of the Virgin Mary......"

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded. If she could see Qianlong's angry look and the anger that ejaculated her, she would also shudder, and said at the moment: "The Holy Grandfather said when he was in the time that you were blessed, and he went to Yonghe Palace to see my appearance, when I gave birth to you, the palace was full of strange fragrance and red light, and a few old girls now come in and kowtow and say these things." I'm old, and I'm glad to see that your fame and career govern the world better than the Holy Ancestors! Even I don't get tired of Heshen, and I should be careful after a long time, so I will tell you a few words in vain. This is the same as living a life in other people, one body is strong, the other is safe and sound, and it is more valuable than any treasure - I have already ordered that in this palace, there are eunuchs in the six palaces, from now on, you live in the Qianqing Palace, or the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and whoever turns over the brand will go. When the morning comes, I will send for you. You are now a famous child, and you will set an example for future generations. If you stand up, it will become the ancestral family law in the future, don't you say? ”

Qianlong knew that his mother still refused to let go, I don't know who conjured up this method to restrain himself, who turned over the brand to recruit whom, and then don't think about extra cheating, occasionally sleep in the morning, and someone outside the window will call the queen mother on behalf of him - how annoying and annoying this is! But in the Qing family law, the emperor is not afraid of the concubine and the mother, and the ancestors never dare to disobey the habits. Think about setting up a "family law" for your children and grandchildren, and you are also a bright and decent, awkward in your heart, obedient to filial piety, how to say the word "no"? Because he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he said: "Mother hurts her son, does her son dare to disobey his fate!" The son deserves to be an example. Besides, my son has been used to getting up early since he was a child, so it's not difficult. You can rest assured. He paused, and then said, "My son will recruit the eunuchs, first, to pass on his mother's decree, and secondly, to be strict and strict when he comes to the palace forbidden door." The previous Cheng Zi only cared about the major affairs outside, and the palace affairs of the inner garden were relaxed. ”

"You're a man who understands." The Queen Mother didn't pay attention to the cold sparkle in Qianlong's eyes at all, and said with a smile, "Only the Qi family can govern the country and level the world!" You recruit them, and Qin Meimei will go to this palace, and he will also pass on my decree and listen to your training. Wang Lian, who followed in, saw Qianlong looking at him, and hurriedly ran out to deliver the decree.

…………

Since Qianlong ascended the throne, it is the first time that he has specially convened eunuchs to train him. Not only him, but Kangxi Yongzheng has been in the house for more than a hundred years, and he has never heard of such a thing. Wang Lian passed the decree, originally said to go to the Yangxin Palace, wait for everyone to arrive, and said to go to the Qianqing Palace, and then changed his mind and moved to Kunning Palace, so solemn that the old men and children were all rabbits in their hearts, and they didn't know what was going on. Only Qin Meimei and Wang Lian knew in their hearts, knowing that this master was annoyed with discord in his heart, hanging his head and straining his face, like a sinner, he took a look at a number of eunuchs—all of them were Lan Lingzi with sixth-grade titles—and entered Kunning Palace. After another half an hour, I heard Gao Yuncong, who was driving, shouting: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

"The emperor is auspicious, the minions knock on the emperor!"

Dozens of chief eunuchs in the palace asked An Da Qian'er to go down. These are all old veterans who kowtow to salute, their movements are neat and uniform, and their voices are almost the same, they are all the same color of the voice of a male duck. Qianlong had never heard this large group of "male ducks" screaming in unison, it was weird, he almost laughed, coughed lightly and put on a straight face, walked calmly, and went straight to the Sumeru seat in the hall, but he didn't sit down, and ordered Qin Meimei: "Declare the decree of Lafayette!" ”

"By the decree of the Queen Mother Lafayette." Qin Meimei timidly stood sideways under the Sumeru seat, looked at the eunuch and looked at Qianlong and said: "Now that the Old Summer Palace has become what it looks like, the emperor will go over to manage the government in the spring, summer and autumn in the future." The forbidden palaces at both ends of the Forbidden City and the garden must be cleaned up. The eunuchs are all humble and lowly people, and since the situation is big, there are many people waiting for the messenger, and it is difficult to ensure that there is no ill-protection. It is a matter of dignity and decency related to the national code and family law, and we cannot help but prevent it from getting worse. The emperor's every move is related to the state system, and it is necessary to serve the envoy according to this rule. From now on, the emperor's residence moved to the Qianqing Palace to raise the heart, except for the queen, all the concubines and concubines summoned the royal luck, all entered the emperor to wait. The eunuch is a slave in the palace, one is not allowed to guide the elder brother to neglect his studies, the second is not allowed to communicate with the princes and ministers outside, and the third is not allowed to discuss the rumors of the royal family, and also to guard against the interference of Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian in the Ming Dynasty in the past. Emperor Shengzuren and Emperor Sejong Heon's iron signs are erected! Whoever dares to violate this law, although Buddhism is merciful, does not save people who have no fate, and I can't say the word 'forgive'. Listen, the emperor will naturally reward you. No, I'll regret killing you! ”
