Chapter 336: The thief goes out of the river

Entering May, Qianlong was in a very good mood.

Since the use of troops in Fengsheng, the Jinchuan front has repeatedly won successes.

Although the Meinuo official village has not yet been breached, the news from the front line shows that the leader of Xiaojinchuan, Seng Gesang, is at the end of the road, and it is expected that it will be broken in July at the latest.

The military victory again made Qianlong regret that he had listened to the peace proposal proposed by Yu Minzhong, Yinglian, Fulehun, Yiletu and others.

In a fit of rage, Yiltu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, failed to complete the ban on shotguns in the Turk Department and fined him one year.

Iltu wrote to himself that he was guilty, and he was willing to pay 6,000 taels of silver for the crime, and Qianlong allowed it.

Within two days, the squire Gao Pu impeached the eunuch Gao Yuncong, who had been executed, and went to the left to protect the imperial history, and the squire Shen Bao, Ni Chengkuan, and Wu Tan leaked the records of the Daofu.

Qianlong summoned Yu Minzhong and Yinglian and asked them why they didn't report it before. The edict was reprimanded, ordered to take office, and he was lenient and retained.

Yu Minzhong and Yinglian knew that they were guilty, and they each wrote a letter and were willing to pay 5,000 taels of silver for the crime.

The three important ministers were "found fault" by the emperor one after another, and they were frightened by the Ministry of Rites, who first mentioned the peace talks, and did not wait for the emperor to make any moves, and took the initiative to pay 30,000 taels of silver on the grounds that there were many mistakes in the Ministry of Rites.

In this way, the exchange is stable.

In a few years, there is a will, and Yonggui is full of books for the household department, and he is on duty in the military aircraft department.

Along with this decree, he was appointed as the Minister in Charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as the vice president of the National History Museum, and the decree of the Forbidden City to ride a horse.

Yonggui is an old minister, many years in the frontier work, hard work, and A Gui and called "Ergui", known for his integrity, this time into the head of the household hall official, the government and the opposition have no criticism.

But He Shen moved several months, which really caused a sensation in the government and the opposition.

In particular, if officials want to get the privilege of riding horses in the Forbidden City, they must be at least sixty-five years old, but He Shen can enjoy this honor at the age of only twenty-five, which shows the depth of the emperor's family.

All of a sudden, all the ministers of military aircraft of the Military Aircraft Department were very respectful to He Shen.

The young and ambitious He Shen did not worry that there was no one in the eyes of the emperor, and he got along with his colleagues very well, and he was even more lenient to his subordinates.

Because He Shen was promoted too quickly, many officials came to join him, but He Shen refused to be with these officials, and refused to bribe several officials in a day.

It's just that it didn't take long for bad news to come from Jinchuan.

The deputy general of the left of Dingxi, the deputy commander of the Blue Banner of Manchuria of the Eight Banners, and the bachelor of the cabinet, Bo Qing, unfortunately contracted the wind and cold because he supervised the war day and night, and his stomach was sore every day, and it was difficult for him to continue to take on the post of unifying the army.

Qianlong was very anxious and concerned when he heard the news, and ordered Bo Qing's order to hand over the affairs of the unified army to the Dingxi general Fengsheng, and go to Chengdu to recuperate with peace of mind.

In view of Bo Qing's previous contributions, he was specially given dazzled eyes and awarded the titles of squire of the military department and the squire of the Li Fan Yuan.

After the decree was issued to Jinchuan, the Dingxi general Fengsheng ordered the deputy capital Tongren and sent Boqing, who could not even walk, back to Chengdu.

Ren and Haosheng comforted his face with yellow pain and Bo Qing's forehead, and said that the emperor would be awarded by the governor of Sichuan one day.

This is also a reasonable thing, if you don't intend to be the governor of Sichuan with Bo Qing, why should the emperor confer the title of squire of the military department and the squire of the Li Fan Yuan.

"The emperor treats me so deeply, but it is difficult for me to serve the country for a while... Today's worries, I am afraid that the thieves and dogs will jump off the wall in a hurry, please tell the general, all the defense areas must be repeatedly urged, and there must be no omissions, so that the thieves can take advantage of the opportunity. ”

Bo Qing, who was seriously ill, was still anxious about the war, and asked Renhe to hand over some unfinished matters of the previous deployment to the general, and his sincere heart to serve the country was really moving.

After Feng Sheng'er personally commanded the siege of Meinuo Guanzhai, the emperor's decree came again, "The weather is hot, can the officers and soldiers in the army tolerate the heat?" Are all the herbs available for summer heat? Do not reduce the number of employees due to illness. If you break Meinuo, you can rest for half a month and then march to Dajinchuan, so that the soldiers are too tired. I heard that there are many snow-capped mountains in Dajinchuan, and how to conquer should be reported to me by the regulations. ”

........

Here in Beijing, since the beginning of May, it has been unbearably hot, but fortunately there was a torrential rain the day before yesterday, which swept away the annoyance in the city.

It's just that after the rainstorm, Shuntianfu said that the stagnant water in the streets and alleys of the capital division overflowed the trouser legs, and asked for the silver to dredge the waterways in the city, and Qianlong ordered it to be handed over to the military aircraft department for approval.

Qin Tianjian also reported that the recent heavy rain in the area of Beijing may become a disaster, and asked the imperial court to prepare for flood prevention and communication.

The coolness brought by the heavy rain made Qianlong temporarily dispel the idea of going to the Chengde Summer Resort, and reviewed the governors of various places in the Yangxin Palace.

was criticizing, the throat was uncomfortable, and he couldn't help coughing lightly, and He Shen, who was waiting on the side, handed over the spittoon.

After spitting out the phlegm in his throat, Qianlong nodded and looked at He Shen with satisfaction: "Among these minions, you and Shen are the most careful, the more I look at you, the happier I become, and I can't do without you." ”

He Shen put the spittoon aside and laughed softly: "Your Majesty, it's not that the slave is careful, it's just that the slave is always ready to solve problems for the emperor, otherwise what's the use of the emperor asking for a slave?" ”

Qianlong couldn't help but laugh and asked He Shen if he still lived in the old mansion.

He Shen said that he lived in the house that his father often kept.

Qianlong shook his head and said: "It's all topped, the house has to be bigger, otherwise where to live... I see that the scenery on the south bank of Shichahai is good, and you ask the Internal Affairs Office to build you a house there. ”

Hearing this, He Shen couldn't help but feel warm in his heart and his nose was sour, but he refused the emperor's kindness and said: "Although the slave's house is small, it can still be lived, and there are few people in the family, so it's okay to live." ”

Qianlong closed the fold of the governor of Zhili and stared at He Shen: "What I gave you, you will take it." If I don't give it to you, don't ask me. ”

He Shen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down: "Slave thank master Longen!" ”

"Get up."

Qianlong slowly sat up from the dragon chair, looking a little tired.

He Shen hurriedly asked, "Does the master want to rest?" ”

Qianlong nodded and said, "I have to sleep for a while." When I was my age like you, how could I have the habit of taking a nap, but now, it's really not good if I don't sleep for a while. ”

He Shen hurriedly accompanied Qianlong to the bedroom, took off his shoes for the emperor, and covered the thin quilt before respectfully withdrawing.

But he didn't go back to the military plane, but looked at some official documents of the Internal Affairs Office in the pavilion outside the palace.

While he was watching, an internal supervisor in charge of the transmission rushed over.

"What's the matter? The emperor rested. ”

"And Zhongtang, eight hundred miles urgent!"

"Which side?"

"Sichuan!"

"Sichuan?"

He Shen hurriedly took it apart and looked at it.

After reading it, he was stunned, and then hurriedly walked outside the emperor's bedroom, originally wanting to knock on the door immediately, but he raised his hand but didn't dare to knock.

Back and forth a few times, thinking that this is a military matter that cannot be delayed, I still gritted my teeth and knocked on the door.

There was no movement in the house at first, but when He Shen knocked again, the emperor's displeased voice came: "You minions, I can't take a nap safely." ”

He Shen said in fear: "Master, it's the slave He Shen." ”

"And Shenna? ... What's the matter, you're so frizzy? ”

Qianlong, who had just fallen asleep, sat up strongly.

He Shen said outside: "Your Majesty, Sichuan just came to the eight hundred miles in an emergency. ”

"Oh? But Mino took it! ”

As soon as he heard that it was an eight-hundred-mile rush in Sichuan, Qianlong was sleepy, and he turned over and got out of bed with some excitement, and walked to the door without having time to put on his shoes.

After the door was opened, he saw that there was no joy on He Shen's face, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and reached out to take the express delivery, and after reading it, he also changed color as He Shen before.

The express delivery was sent by the general of Dingxi, Feng Sheng, and there was only one thing in it - five days ago, the thieves rushed out of the encirclement and went all the way to Chongqing, as if there were signs of fleeing down the river to Huguang.
