Chapter 171: The court is shaken

Especially now, He Shen has become the left waiter of the household of Zheng Erpin, and this affection can come in handy.

Li Xingheng, the governor of Liangjiang, naturally gave the green light to his request for Heshen, and immediately sent a general soldier with 3,000 soldiers to take charge of this matter.

As a result, a scene that shocked everyone's jaws appeared.

The general army of Zheng Sipin led his 3,000 officers and soldiers to the lair of many salt merchants in Yangzhou.

I have long gotten the news that many salt merchants in Yangzhou, who had been on guard for a long time, led their families to fight a big battle with them in the suburbs of Yangzhou Mansion.

The officers and soldiers suffered heavy injuries and were defeated by a group of rabble and fled, while the leading Zhengsipin general soldiers were also taken care of, and they were shot in the chest with a bow and arrow, and they were directly seriously injured and unconscious...

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the desperate resistance of the dozens of pro-soldiers around him, this Zhengsipin chief soldier would not have escaped death.

However, even so, this extremely unlucky Zhengsipin general soldier was also seriously injured and unconscious.

When the news came back to the Liangjiang Governor's Palace, Li Xingheng, the governor of Liangjiang, was furious, and the others were also shocked, and the Jiangnan officialdom suddenly set off an uproar.

"The fact that the merchants of Yangzhou defeated the officers and soldiers was transmitted back to the capital, shaking the government and the opposition, although the ability of this four-grade general soldier was disappointing, but he had 3,000 officers and soldiers, 3,000 officers and soldiers.

3,000 officers and soldiers were defeated in a head-on clash with a group of rabble, which shows how powerful the financial resources and strength of these businessmen are!

Jiangnan is a grain-producing area and a heavy tax area, especially Yangzhou, which controls more than half of the country's salt industry...

However, there is such a group of bold and wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou who dare to do this, which is a blatant rebellion.

Emperor Qianlong, on his side, naturally lost his temper and immediately ordered Li Xingheng, the governor of Liangjiang, to exterminate these merchants.

Li Xingheng, the governor of Liangjiang, who felt that he had lost face, personally led nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers straight to Yangzhou, and he must eliminate these hateful businessmen.

Li Xingheng, the governor of Liangjiang, led nearly 10,000 troops and went away, but the result was that he was in Yangzhou.

So many Yangzhou salt merchants didn't catch any of them.

“………………”

As the largest and richest governor of Liangjiang in the country's administrative area, Li Xingheng's face this time must have been a big loss.

And the Hubu Yamen, which was far away in the capital, did not go anywhere easily, because of the successive Yangzhou salt merchants, Emperor Qianlong was quite dissatisfied with Huang Shihua, the head of the household.

A few days later, during the central court meeting, the Qianlong Emperor publicly criticized Huang Shihua, the head of the household department.

Emperor Qianlong's dissatisfaction made Huang Shihua, the head of the household, sincerely afraid, for fear that Emperor Qianlong would strip off his official hat and official skin because of this incident.

And at this time, He Shen proposed a new idea to Huang Shihua, the head of the household......

"My lord, the saint is now extremely dissatisfied with the entire household, completely because of the queen mother's birthday, and the Yangzhou salt merchant, it's just a pretense!"

When He Shen was talking, he deliberately used the word "disguise" to accentuate his tone.

Huang Shihua, the head of the household, is an old fritter in officialdom, and he naturally knows it in his heart.

Moreover, he knows better who has caused him to get to where he is now.

Therefore, for this "culprit" who caused his current embarrassment, Huang Shihua, the head of the household department, did not put on a good face.

Hubu Shangshu Huang Shihua immediately snorted coldly, he had already suffered a loss before, how could he be fooled again this time!

“…………”

Opposing the extravagant and extravagant birthday of the Queen Mother is the consensus secretly reached by the ministers of the Southern Study and the officials of the six ministries, which is a collision between the power of the ministers and the imperial power.

Because of the affairs of many businessmen in Yangzhou, he has already aroused the dissatisfaction of Emperor Qianlong, and now how can he offend many officials in Chaoyan.

On the side of Hubu Shangshu Huang Shihua, he wanted to scold He Shen loudly, but after thinking for a while, he thought of a vicious plan.

“…………”

I only heard that Huang Shihua, the head of the household, said: "This matter, since you brought it up, then you are fully responsible for it!" ”

For such a thing as the queen mother's birthday, it is easy to offend many officials in the capital during this sensitive time period.

Since this guy He Shen made such a vicious suggestion, he was naturally happy to push the boat along the river and throw out this vicious method.

"Xiaguan, you will definitely live up to your mission!"

Heshen's side didn't care about the careful thinking and small abacus of Huang Shihua, the head of the household department.

For such a thing as the birthday of the Queen Mother, at this time, in this special period, a careless handling may offend a large number of officials.

However, He Shen is not afraid.

“…………”

Back to the point!

It is true that the household department is a very oily yamen, but if you want to do things, you will encounter great resistance.

Because, everyone is staring at the silver in the treasury, and the officials of the household department are naturally not easy to do.

However, he was relatively unwilling to offend hundreds of officials for the sake of Emperor Qianlong, and even more unwilling to break some of the unspoken rules of the current household department in order to fill the treasury, and the good man Huang Shihua.

A person like He Shen who is not afraid of heaven and earth, Hubu is the best stage for him, and he can display his talents to the fullest.

However, before that, He Shen had to make a report to Emperor Qianlong, and after getting Emperor Qianlong's clear attitude, he would talk about anything else.

At that time, even if you offend a large number of vested interests, you can push it on Emperor Qianlong and then settle the matter.

“………”

Thinking of this, at noon, because of the lunch break, he was in the study, called a few masters around him, and wrote a recital according to his own meaning.

After several masters wrote the recital, He Shen pinched the time, and after the lunch break, he blocked Huang Shihua, the head of the household, at the door of the household department.

Under the persecution of He Shen, Huang Shihua, the head of the household, pinched his nose and stamped the seal of the head of the house.

Holding the fold stamped with the seal of the Hubu Shangshu, He Shen sent the fold to the table of Emperor Qianlong in an open way in the name of the Hubu Shangshu.

And Emperor Qianlong, when he saw this twist, he happily wrote the word "quasi"!

This is the attitude of Emperor Qianlong, he is quite satisfied with the plan of the household department to make money.

After all, he is the emperor, and the money in the treasury is, in a sense, his money, and Emperor Qianlong naturally hopes that he will have more and more money.

Emperor Qianlong was indeed a little disappointed in Huang Shihua before, but after all, he was a henchman he had picked up with his own hands, and Emperor Qianlong was still ready to give him another chance.

At present, the household department has finally made a move, and of course Emperor Qianlong will support it.

Because, in addition to wanting a lot of money, Emperor Qianlong also wanted to see what kind of ghosts, snakes, and gods there were under his rule.

The previous collusion between the salt merchant and the prince had already made Emperor Qianlong very vigilant.

This time, the salt merchants of Yangzhou united to defeat thousands of officers and soldiers, which made Emperor Qianlong ring the alarm bell!

The strength of these Yangzhou salt merchant gangs is too strong, just a few nurses can easily defeat thousands of officers and soldiers, and they almost killed a Zhengsi general soldier on the spot.

On Emperor Qianlong's side, just thinking about it, he felt frightened.

If these Yangzhou businessmen, with many princes, wouldn't they have the strength to impact the position of the emperor under his ass.

Since ancient times, every emperor has been a suspicious person.

"There is always the mind of Diao people who want to harm me", in the hearts of the emperors, they have never stopped.

At the slightest hint of turmoil, the emperor would become vigilant.

In history, the cautious and cautious emperor punished the nine clans for the courtiers who had the ability to rebel, and it was simply a matter of minutes.

Moreover, the affairs of these Yangzhou salt merchants are strange, they actually have a red-clothed cannon in their hands, and the information contained in them makes Emperor Qianlong can't help but be shocked.

The matter of the salt merchants in Yangzhou must be solved, and in the capital, the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods who are doing it cannot be let go.

On the side of the household, Emperor Qianlong was naturally very happy with such knowledge.

But when he turned around, Emperor Qianlong had some doubts in his heart, what kind of character Huang Shihua was in the Hubu Shangshu, he knew very well in his heart.

Huang Shihua is more than cautious, not enterprising enough, if you say it well, it is called a calm old man, and if you don't say it well, it is called an old dog who guards the house, only has the ability to guard the house, but has no other ability!

Dealing with the many salt merchants in Yangzhou and figuring out the direction of the world's silver money, although it was in line with Emperor Qianlong's thoughts, Emperor Qianlong understood very well that Huang Shihua did not have such courage and responsibility.

Thinking of this, Emperor Qianlong asked the great eunuch Li Dequan to investigate.

The great eunuch Li Dequan quickly figured out the situation.

This time, the activities of the Tobe were completely the idea of the newly appointed Tobe Zuo Shiro.

"Ah, sure enough, that kid ......"

When Emperor Qianlong heard the report, he touched his chin, and the expression on his face looked a little strange.

“…………”

Emperor Qianlong had many wives and sons.

Emperor Qianlong had seventeen sons, and among them, the eldest had basically opened a government office.

To be honest, even Emperor Qianlong didn't know what these sons, who seemed to be extremely filial on the surface, were secretly like and how ruthless their hearts were.

Every time I think of this, even with the character of Emperor Qianlong, I can't help but feel cold.

Not to mention, in addition to the dozen or so sons who became adults and became the princes, there are other ambitious people.

Although the Qing Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, nearly 60 of them have been at war.

When the Qing Taizu Nurhachi founded the country, the Manchus were still living in Liaodong.

When it came to Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, he was able to enter the customs and enter Hebei, and it was the time of Emperor Shunzhi, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty had just unified the north and south.

Time has been going backwards, until Emperor Kangxi, is it truly unified in the whole. Country.
