Miao Jiang successfully quelled the rebellion and changed the stream, and Qianlong's heart was relieved. This matter dragged on for seven years, costing tens of millions of taels of silver in the treasury, and Yongzheng was so tired that he failed to do it several times when he fell ill. Less than a year after Qianlong ascended the throne, he smoothly and smoothly did it, and the joy in his heart went without saying. After the national money and grain were exempted, it was reported that the two rivers were ripe, the Huguang wheat and rice were ripe, and the cotton and wheat harvests in Shandong and Shanxi were harvested...... All that came was good news, and what was full of ears was the voice of the people who sang the praises. So he issued an amnesty to the world, "except for those who plot rebellion and commit adultery and steal to death, all will be reduced to the next level." After the 15th of July, Qianlong was accompanied by his relatives and went to the Temple of Heaven to pay tribute.

"Your Majesty," the relatives were in the chariot, and when they saw Qianlong going, they were in high spirits, but they were silent on the way back, and couldn't help asking, "You don't seem to be happy?" Qianlong glanced at him, smiled slightly and said, "It's not that I'm not unhappy, it's something on my mind." After another pause, he said, "You are a relative of the generations." In the early years of Kangxi, your father Kubilong was one of the four auxiliary ministers. You are waiting for the first emperor and me, tell me, why are there three ancestral emperors in our dynasty? ”

Neqin is a very meticulous person, listening to Qianlong's question, he didn't immediately reply, and thought for a while before saying: "Taizu is the ancestor of creation, Shizu is the ancestor of the founding of the country, and the Holy Ancestor is the master of the opening." ”

"Well said." Qianlong nodded and said, "Actually, the one I am most satisfied with is the Holy Ancestor. I've said this more than once. It is not easy to create a country and fight to kill, but if an emperor can live in the creation of the establishment and get rid of the trap of enjoying the legacy of his ancestors, it is actually even more difficult! The first emperor reigned for thirteen years, and he was diligent in his administration, so why didn't he want to make the achievements of his ancestors? Unfortunately, he reigned for only thirteen years. I am twenty-six years old. If the heavens are false, I will not be willing to give up the will of heaven, although I dare not hope to be the 'ancestor', but for the future generations to set up a 'sect' of the industry, it is probably still possible. Listening to this heartfelt words, his heart was moved, and he hurriedly said: "The emperor's benevolent words must be heard by the heavens." I don't know if the emperor has seen the collection of Prince Cheng's Mansion "Song of the Yellow Sin Master"? Qianlong was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes." There is also a note from Jin Shengsi's sigh - why do you ask this? ”

Neqin said: "There are four lines of poetry there, which are for the emperor's blessing." Qianlong shook his head and said, "This is an ancient book, how can it bless me?" When the first emperor was there, he never allowed our brothers to read these miscellaneous books of stars. I don't believe in these either, so you can just gossip and chat. Then he said:

The courtiers begged for the moon without light, and the population of each prostrated was slim.

I also saw that I was born to celebrate each other, and I was happy to be happy.

Yin Ba said: "The word 'chao' is hidden from the word 'moon' and 'begging'. This first sentence is about the word 'dry'; the word 'knock' goes to the mouth as 'knock', and 'again' sees 'sheng' to come to ''', and the two and three sentences are combined as 'long' -- when there was a sixtieth year in the Qianlong Dynasty, the people enjoyed peace for sixty years, so it is said that 'the joyful sixtieth year of the sixtieth year of Qianlong', the number of creation that the sages of hundreds of years ago have launched? ”

The carriage shook slightly, and Qianlong's eyes stared straight at the loess road in front of him, and muttered, "Sixty years...... Sixty years can do a lot. I hope you understand the true meaning of Master Huang today - the Holy Grandfather has been sitting in the world for sixty-one years, and sixty years is enough! However, it is still early to reach the heyday. You are working hard to follow me in this career. Ne Qin's heart was excited, and when he was about to speak, the chariot had stopped outside the Xihua Gate, and a eunuch had already pushed the wheel ladder, and the two gentlemen and ministers got off the car one after another.

At this time, it was already the early autumn season, although the sun was still blazing, the gentle west wind swept by the coolness, blowing people refreshed, Qianlong saw at a glance that Sun Guoxi, the governor of Henan, was mixed in a large group of officials waiting to be seen, whispered something to his relatives, and entered the inner hall with only one bow to everyone. Neqin walked straight over and said to Sun Guoxi: "The emperor has a decree, you can go in now." ”

"Yes, Lord's Order!"

Sun Guoxi was sent to Beijing at the same time as Shanxi Governor Kar Jishan and Sichuan Governor Chen Shixia to report on his work. Unexpectedly, the emperor would be the first to summon him alone, so he was busy kowtowing and getting up to follow his relatives in. When passing by the military aircraft department, he happened to meet Qian Du, who was holding a stack of papers, and Sun Guoxi didn't have time to talk to him, so he only said, "I live in my nephew's house, and Mr. Qian has time to go for a walk, and he will stay in Beijing for a few days", and hurried to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts. reported his name at the entrance of the palace, and saw Gao Wuyong lifting the curtain and saying, "Sun Guoxi is here." ”

"I called you in first for the reclamation of Henan." Qianlong sat at the coffee table in the Dongnuan Pavilion, watched Sun Guoxi salute, sipped tea and said: "I have carefully checked the Henan newspaper several times to reclaim the barren land, sometimes more and sometimes less, what is the reason?" Sun Guoxi hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, when the minister took over as governor, the former governor Wang Shijun reported that the number of acres of cultivated land was 695,044 acres. The emperor repeatedly issued strict decrees and blamed Henan for falsely reporting the number of acres of wasteland. The governor's yamen and all the officials of the governor's yamen went down to the county, and it was ascertained that the actual number at present was 383,401 mu. The reason for the inaccuracy of the previous reports is that the Yellow River bursts from time to time, and the Yellow River is reclaimed after the Yellow River, so there are more times and times less. Ask the emperor for holy advice, and the number of acres reported by the ministers is not daring to be hidden. Qianlong saw that he was so nervous that he was sweating, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you have missed the number of acres this time." Really? ”

Sun Guoxi wiped the sweat from the corners of his eyes with his fingers and said, "This is the number collected by the yamen from all over the country. There is no underreporting, how many acres are underreported, and the minister does not dare to say anything. "You get up, sit and talk." Qianlong smiled and pointed to the wooden pestle and said, "I want to tell you that reclamation is good, when will there be a will to criticize you for reclamation of wasteland?" Your three governors, from Tian Wenjing to you, said from the bottom of your heart that the fault is blindly figuring out the meaning of the above, no matter how lenient or severe, there is no basis. Tian Wenjing reclaimed one acre of famine, and he was eager to report two acres, thinking that 'the more the merrier', it was clear that the crops that grew in the barren world would not be the same, and he would also collect money and grain, for fear of losing the false name of the 'model governor'. Now you have come to figure it out again, so you turned over a baked cake, and there are two acres and would rather report one acre. Kaifeng, Nanyang, and Shaanzhou had a bumper harvest, and they also apologized. seems to be the opposite of Tian Wenjing, but in fact, his heart is the same. I said you didn't! Sun Guoxi listened to what Qianlong said, which was completely the meaning of talking and enlightening, and his heart fell, and he hurriedly said: "The lord has not wronged the ministers." As for the minister's thoughts, they are even more filthy than what the Lord said. The minister saw that Wang Shijun had sinned against the saint, and he was afraid of following in his footsteps, so he strictly ordered his subordinates to check the acres of land, rather less than more, and the grain yield would rather be owed than risked, so he got such a number. However, Henan owes 1 million stone of grain in the province this year, and this figure is true. ”

"You are different from Wang Shijun." Qianlong smiled, "Wang Shijun regards me and the first emperor as fire and water, blatantly opposes my established strategy, and wants to sell his reputation and become a direct minister!" If there is a place where I have lost my government, I am afraid that I will not dare to speak out! How can you blame the lower head? But it involves the imperial examination, and it is his own misunderstanding to say that I intend to change the imperial examination to become a constitution! When Wang Shijun was in office in Henan, in order to gain a good reputation as a 'capable official', he stripped the people and abused the government. If he is exposed at the time of the imperial examination, shouldn't he be punished? He was convicted and imprisoned, and Ortai spoke for him. In fact, Wang Shijun's statement that 'university scholars are not suitable for concurrent ministry affairs' refers to Ortai. The university scholar and the ministry are the precedent set by the emperor's examination, and he wants me not to 'overturn the case', but he instigates me to overturn the case - isn't this a treacherous villain? Even so, I didn't do anything to him, but he can't be an official anymore, go back to Guizhou to be a common man! Ne Qin said on the side: "Tian Wenjing still has merit, when he was in office, there were no corrupt officials and no thieves in Henan, which is also commendable." "What my relatives said," Qianlong said, "I have taught you, so that you can understand my heart, learn from the strengths of others to make up for your own shortcomings, and be a good governor—you kneel down!" ”

Seeing Sun Guoxi withdrawing, he bowed down and said: "Long live the earnest teachings, ask for the country's long-term governance, don't waste people because of things, don't waste things because of people, the ministers listen quietly, and benefit a lot - who will the emperor see next?" Slaves carry orders. "Henan is a 'model' place. I met in person. Qianlong stood up and said with a smile, "For the rest, you and Zhang Tingyu will meet them." I'm going to Cining Palace to ask Lafayette to settle down and save me. As he spoke, he ordered someone to remove the robe for himself, and only wore a stone blue gauze robe, and tied a soft gold and yellow ponytail bond. The attendant was beside him and said, "This autumn is cool early. The slave looked at the master and seemed to be dressed a little thinly. ”

"It doesn't matter." While pacing, Qianlong suddenly smiled and asked, "My family, I heard that you have two vicious dogs at home, but there are any?" ”

"Yes." "That's to put an end to private confessions." The emperor doesn't know that some officials are really shameless. Last time, the political envoy of Shandong Province made a platform in the Yamen, and he came to my house with a salivating face, and said that he could send me a good inkstone. I thought this object was very elegant, so I accepted it, opened the bag and saw that the 'golden page' was an inch thick, inlaid on the outside of the inkstone, what kind of inkstone? It's money! I didn't even ask for a name, I sent someone to throw him back! ”

Qianlong nodded and said, "I know about this. I tell you that Zhang Tingyu has been a prime minister for decades and has not raised a dog. Do the same. You are the minister of Zaifu, and you always have to see you when you are lowered, and there are vicious dogs in the door, and good people are afraid. If you have to be greedy, a dog can't stop you from taking bribes, right? When he heard this, he also laughed, and said, "The slaves are really annoying that they go to the private house to make noise. The minister once read "Rong Zhai Essays", Sima Guang was the prime minister, posted a letter to friends in the living room, and only talked about friendship and private affairs in the private house, and said it in public in the yamen on official business. The slave is not as good as Hengchen in restraint, and he doesn't have any personal matters to talk to people, so he has a dog, and he has a bad idea and scares away half of it. Qianlong laughed when he heard this, pointed to his relatives and said, "Look at you like a stuffy gourd, your heart is quite refreshing." Restraint kung fu is not born, reading at night, three provinces a day, and slowly there is it. Dogs, or not to raise as well. As he spoke, he had reached the gate of Cining Palace, and stepped in. Ne personally went to preach the decree and do things.

Qianlong entered the courtyard of the palace, took out the gold watch and looked at it, just after noon, the crows in the courtyard were quiet, so he beckoned to a eunuch and asked, "Is Lafayette already resting?" The eunuch hurriedly laughed and said, "No! The master and the noble master are all playing cards with Lafayette in the west chamber of the Big Buddha Hall! Qianlong didn't say anything more, bypassed the main hall, and sure enough, he heard several women giggling and laughing, and there was the hearty laughter of the Queen Mother. Qianlong followed the sound and entered the west wing, and saw that the queen Fucha and the noble concubine Nala were all playing the finch card with the queen mother. There was also a woman with her back to the door, and she saw that the dress was a second-grade fate, but she didn't know who it was. There were more than a dozen palace maids waiting around to see Qianlong coming in, and they hurriedly knelt down together. Nala and the woman who was playing cards turned their faces and saw that it was the emperor, and when they lost their cards, they retreated to the side and knelt down, and only the queen Fucha stood up.

"The Emperor is here." The Queen Mother also put down the cards in her hand and said with a smile, "You mistakenly won money for your mother!" You ordered that civil and military officials are not allowed to fight cards and watch the show, so we girls have to hide here to play. Qianlong smiled with a smile on his face, called the queen mother to say goodbye, ordered everyone to get up, and said: "My son rules the world with filial piety." They do their filial piety for me, and it's too late to be happy! With that, the Nala clan had already moved a chair and invited Qianlong to sit. Qianlong smiled again: "Speaking of fighting cards, there was a joke before. Sun Jiagan went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and heard that the imperial historians were talking about things and gathered together to gamble on the host to eat and drink. Mother knew Sun Jiagan's temperament, so she called Yu Shi Mocheng to train him bloody. Mo Cheng was most afraid of Sun Jiagan, and said again and again, 'I never gamble on cards, I don't even know how many cards there are, don't blame the general constitution for being humble!' Sun Jiagan also smiled and said, "That's good, let's do the same." The last time I went to the household to see them fighting cards, I couldn't understand it for a long time. You say, there are four of these east and west north and south winds, and how can there be only five whiteboards, which is really a strange thing! Mo Cheng laughed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "General Xian, the "tabula rasa" is also four, which is the same as "Fa Cai" and "Hongzhong", ......'"

Qianlong didn't finish speaking, the Queen Mother was already laughing and scrambled the cards in front of her, lying on the back of the chair and just coughing. Fucha laughed and gently slapped the queen mother's back, Nala leaned on the table and laughed wildly, and the lady blushed and covered her mouth with a handkerchief to endure it. The Queen Mother said: "That's it...... It's funny! You should be busy with your going, don't miss us to play the whiteboard......" Qianlong looked at the woman carefully: she was only a young woman in her twenties, with dark and shiny thick hair in a bun, sideburns like a knife, skin like greasy, crescent eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, and a small mouth under the nose with a smile on her face. At this time, she was flushed, **slightly, two dimples appeared from time to time, really like a fog cage peony, rain run begonia, Qianlong couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Who are you and what is your name?" ”

"The slave man is Fu Heng," the woman was even more embarrassed when she saw the emperor looking at her like this, and hurriedly knelt down and replied, "My maiden name is Guerjia......

"Oh, Gualga. What about nicknames? ”

"Little name Tanger ......"

"Get up!" Qianlong stopped looking at her, turned his face to the queen mother and smiled, "If you want to say that your brother-in-law doesn't recognize your brother and daughter-in-law in a small family, it won't be a big joke." It just so happened that the business over there was over, and I also played the finch card with my mother for a while. The Queen Mother smiled and said: "It's good to dare to be affectionate, I'm afraid you'll be busy." Qianlong ordered people: "Go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, find Gao Wuyong and get some golden melon seeds!" As he spoke, he sat down and sat opposite the queen on both sides of the queen mother.

Tang'er saw one more person, measured his identity, and hurriedly stepped aside, but was held down by the Nala clan and said, "You are the maiden family of our master's mother--a guest." It's rare to have this fate, so I'll accompany the master to fight for a while! After that, he pursed his lips and smiled, "I'll show Lafayette the cards, don't ask them to play ghost behind your back." While shuffling the cards, Qianlong peeked at Nala a few times. The Queen Mother didn't understand the pun in Nala's words, touched the cards and smiled: "By the way, let's work together today, don't let the emperor win-how many flattering words he listens to every day, he should also give our ladies and daughters!" Qianlong smiled: "I haven't gone into battle yet, I'm already in ambush on all sides." You use Go as a bet, and I use golden melon seeds. It's so unfair. Tang'er bowed his head to Qianlong and said with a smile: "Bai Zi'er is a tael of silver, and Hei Zi'er is a penny of gold...... Qianlong was still talking, but he heard the first Nala laugh and said:

"Pay attention to the cards, Lafayette plays the west wind!"

Qianlong touched a card, but it was Nanfeng, and he already had one in his hand, so he was in one place, played a card and said: "I am a chicken, but I am afraid that Tang'er will eat it." Tang'er smiled: "This card slave doesn't need it." So he made a three-cylinder. Qianlong sat next to her at this time, the smell of fragrance on her body kept coming, and listening to her warbler swallow voice, clever smile and delightful, feeling hot and itchy all over the body, and her mind was not on the card. It's just that the four people at this table are staring, and it's hard to move. Seeing Gao Wuyong coming with a small bag of golden melon seeds, Qianlong said: "Just put it here, and distribute it to everyone in a while-you can go." As he spoke, he casually typed out a 90,000 sheet. The queen knocked down the card and said with a smile: "I'll hang this one alone!" ”

"Okay, I'll throw in the towel!" Qianlong said with a smile, "I didn't expect the queen to win a game first!" As he spoke, he shuffled the cards together, but his fingers touched Tang'er's hand intentionally or unintentionally. Fucha smiled: "The emperor doesn't have to wash it." With me and Tang'er, it's done. Nala smiled and said, "Shuffling is the most important thing." Qianlong had no choice but to retract his hand with a smile and said to the Queen Mother: "Yesterday, I went to the study to discuss matters, Fu Heng was going to Liangjiang to urge tribute, as well as the feudal silver of the southern provinces, and I also had to urge it to be sent, what did the Queen Mother want, or think of something appetizing, and I could move it, and tell Tang'er to let Fu Heng bring it back to honor you." ”

Tang'er didn't know about this, and said with a smile while building a card: "The Queen Mother just said that Guangxi's lychees and Fu oranges are also available. Think again—" She stopped suddenly. It turned out that Qianlong's feet under the table were not very old, touched the surface of his feet, and hurriedly retracted his feet under the chair. Fucha said with a smile: "The Jade Guanyin offered by Lafayette, I have said it a few times, but I have not invited it, this time my brother will go, and ask him to pick it himself-" Before she finished speaking, her foot was touched by something, and she glanced at Qianlong, Qianlong suddenly blushed, and covered up: "This is all easy to do, open a list and ask them to do it." ”

Then a few people continued to play cards, but it was the Queen Mother and Qianlong who won one after another, Qianlong smiled, and rewarded the winning money to the palace people who were waiting in front of the Queen Mother - this is a historical rule, and there is no need to elaborate.

"Your Majesty!"

It wasn't until he went back to Zhongcui Palace to have dinner with the emperor that Fucha looked left and right to see that there was no one, and while serving vegetables to Qianlong, he solemnly whispered: "That's my mother's brother and daughter-in-law." That's not a good way to do it! Qianlong blushed to the base of his neck, sandwiched a piece of magnolia to Fucha's family, and said, "Uh-this is lighter, but it is not easy to restrain it, chew it and swallow it...... I and your loving husband and wife are real, it's all a show, why take it seriously? Besides, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary! Fucha smiled: "It's not out of line, I mistakenly think my feet are someone else's!" There are dozens of concubines in the harem, not enough for you to bear? I'm not a jealous person, and I'm not good at this, your body and bones matter! Besides—the woman ......" She suddenly felt that she had lost her mouth, and she hid it, and unconsciously had a fever on her face.

Fucha is the daughter of Li Rongbao, the governor of Chahar. Li Rongbao was a scholar and attached great importance to the discipline of his children. For as long as the girl can remember, her relatives have not been seen, and she has not read miscellaneous books. Only "The Book of Daughters" and "Zhu Zizhi's Aphorisms" are daily must-reads. The rest, by the housekeeper mother, with the practice of needlework, learn to embroidery, the rules and retreat can not be messed up at all. Fucha married Qianlong at the age of twelve, and he was gentle and frugal. There is not a single child in the family who does not like her. Qianlong is not so much "love" for this queen as "respect", as soon as they meet, they are like a guest, without half a word of private consideration. The queen suddenly became shy, full of tenderness like a bride, Qianlong was the first time to see her like this, she couldn't help but get angry, and said with a smile: "That woman—which woman?" I see that you are like a woman at this time, and De Jong's words and skills are all good......" As he spoke, he got up and walked over, grabbed the queen on the shoulder, and kissed her on the cheek. Several palace maids waiting outside the curtain saw this scene and tiptoed to hide without a trace. Qianlong hugged her to the couch, stroked her hair, and said softly: "Fenfen, you are so beautiful...... Really, it's the first time I've seen you so beautiful. People say that Nala is handsome, but it's not even a tenth of you......"

"Really?"

"Hmm."

"I'm so happy."

"Why are you closing your eyes?"

"I don't want to open my eyes at this moment." Fucha's soft mud snuggled in Qianlong's arms, Ren Qianlong rubbed it, and sighed, "As soon as I open my eyes, I am no longer in a dream, only in a dream I am a woman, and when I wake up, I will be a queen again." The posture should be square, the behavior should be steady, have the demeanor of the mother, be virtuous, demure, do not listen, and do not squint...... Don't be jealous ...... yet."

Qianlong let go of her, but didn't get up, just looked at the caisson on the top of the hall with blazing eyes. Fucha opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Qianlong smiled and said, "Your words are thought-provoking. You're too depressed. Open your eyes when you should open them, close them when you should close them, okay? I have been married to you since childhood, what do you have to say? I have the problem of messing with flowers and grass, and when it comes to the heart, it is you who loves. But I always feel that there is something separated from you, I can't love, I can't stop, why, I can't tell. ”

"I don't know." Fucha fiddled with his clothes and said somewhat embarrassedly, "You are the emperor, and you want to be the lord of the generation." I have come to this place, and I am your wife and your servant, and I will assist you according to the rules of the sages and sages......"

At this moment, she returned to her "original position".
