To tell the truth, Qianlong never expected that he, the nineteenth brother, could not think of any countermeasures against bandits, he still knew him very well about the nineteenth brother, that is, a master who had no ink on his chest, eating and drinking, as long as he didn't make trouble for himself, he was already thankful, burning high incense, how dare he expect to get any bandit strategy from his mouth, but when he heard that from his imperial brother's mouth, he "suppressed and appeased" When this policy of suppressing bandits, I still can't help but feel a heartbeat, it seems that his imperial brother is not as useless as it is said outside, let's not talk about whether his full strategy is feasible, but at least it proves that he has put his heart into this matter, and more importantly, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty including him have not thought about this aspect, but he still decided to seriously assess him, if he is the imperial brother who can be used, he does not mind entrusting him with heavy use, and he mentioned it at the moment: "It is a fresh idea to suppress and use it, and talk to Teng specifically." ”

Prince Shuo replied, " Back to the emperor, the suppression of bandits has always been nothing more than two ideas or suppression or fu, let's talk about the pros and cons of these two strategies one by one, let's talk about the suppression first, the so-called suppression is a word, kill, as long as you dare to rebel, Lao Tzu will kill him and roll his head, if this matter is placed on the occasion of our Qing Dynasty entry into the customs, it is naturally understandable, but now it is different from the past, now our Qing Dynasty is prosperous, and the people are determined, although the people still have a person who does not accept the king, but it does not hurt the overall situation, as long as we do not make any mistakes, this country can always sit down, if we do not do mass killing at this time, but fall into the trap of some people, Honghua will be rebellious and dare to enter the palace to assassinate, it is very likely that it is not necessary to assassinate the emperor, but to borrow the emperor's hand to provoke the people's uprising, you think about it, the Honghua Society is still the second largest civil anti-Qing force after the heaven and earth meeting, the congregation has hundreds of thousands of people, no matter what the result of their assassination is, it will anger the imperial court, anger the civil anti-Qing forces, and therefore start a killing thing, if we call him true, which will fall into their trap and completely lose. ”

He Shen, who was standing beside Qianlong, smiled at this time: "Lord Shuo, you are showing up to those chaotic parties." ”

Prince Shuo was angry: "I'll open your mother's head, can you let Lao Tzu finish speaking?"

When He Shen heard this, he immediately said to Qianlong: "Master, Lord Shuo is rude in front of you, and the slave wants to impeach him for the crime of disgrace before driving." ”

Qianlong suddenly smiled: "I said He Aiqing, this is yours, even if you are the imperial brother who is the nuclear bomb, you have to let the family finish speaking." ”

He Shen said angrily: "He is just a nonsense prince, his mind is full of paste, he can say what kind of rat and cow, we should call the guards to blast him out, and he will never be allowed to enter the palace......."

Before he finished speaking, Prince Shuo had already kicked him in the leg from behind, kicking him to his knees: "You dog, you dare to sow discord in front of this king, believe it or not, this king kicked you to death." ”

Listening to it, he secretly approved: "It makes sense, keep talking." ”

He Shen shouted at Qianlong: "Your Majesty, Lord Shuo, he beat people in front of you." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped again: "What if you beat you, you are just a slave of our royal family, don't say that I will cut you to death in this king, even if I kick you to death, I will only kick you to death, you had better think about this king, I will anger this king, although this king and I will not beat you to death, it can be seen that you will cut you once is still very sure." ”

Qianlong slapped the table at this time: "Brother Huang, this is yours, isn't it, why did you start talking and talking?"

Prince Shuo was angry: "But he slandered his brother ........"

"Reasoned all over the world, unreasonable is difficult to move an inch, what is unclear, you have to move your hands and feet," after saying Prince Shuo, Qianlong said to He Shen: "And you are stupid enough, knowing that my imperial brother is an unreasonable rough person, but you still go to provoke him, isn't this looking for a cigarette by yourself, don't say that he only kicked you once, rewarded you with two slaps, he didn't chop you with a knife, you are already thankful." ”

He Shen said very aggrievedly: "The emperor taught me a lesson. ”

"Don't be complacent there," Qianlong then said to Prince Shuo: "Although there is something wrong with Heshen, you can't beat people at every turn, you are the prince of the county in the Qing Dynasty, not a bandit and hooligan, I will remember this account for you first, if your strategy of suppressing bandits cannot satisfy me, see how I punish you?"

Prince Shuo's mouth pursed: "After this dog thing made a fuss, the younger brother forgot where to go." ”

He Shen immediately said: "He said that if the emperor deals with those thieves, he will lose." ”

Prince Shuo glanced at He Shen and said, "Dog, if you want to see this king's joke, I'm afraid you will be disappointed this time." ”

He Shen snorted coldly: "I don't believe that you, the nonsense prince, can come up with anything." ”

"You're going to be disappointed, for this strategy, this king and I can ponder for a night, if you can't pass the test, this king and I will beat my own big mouth. ”

Hearing him say this, Qianlong suddenly became interested: "How can you be confident?"

Prince Shuo said triumphantly: "Of course. ”

He Shen immediately said: "Then let him talk about it, if he says that he will be rewarded, if he doesn't say it well, he will be punished heavily, and he will be punished for a year's Dai Lu." ”

Qianlong nodded: "Okay, then you can talk about it." ”

Prince Shuo replied: "If we kill all those thieves, let's not talk about the effect, the emperor's title of the prosperous monarch will definitely be over, and he has to carry a big black pot for this, in the words of the boy of the Fang family, he is a man who carries the pot." ”

"The man who carried the pot," Qianlong nodded: "This title is quite appropriate, you continue." ”

Prince Shuo continued: "If we can catch all these thieves, we will carry this pot, but the problem is that these people have their own family relationships, parents, uncles, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, we don't count everyone, even if he is a dozen, their relatives died in our hands, do you say they can not hate the court, if these people are used by some people again, then we will have a million more enemies overnight, even if we can finally kill all the millions of enemies, we will have to break our bones in the Qing Dynasty, don't you say?"

He Shen and T Qianlong were stunned when they heard this, they all ignored this consequence, and after a while, He Shen said: "According to the meaning of the prince, why is this bandit not suppressed?"

Prince Shuo gave him a big look: "I said I won't suppress it, but even if it is to suppress bandits, we must have a way to suppress it." ”

He Shen asked: "You can't kill it, and you can't help it, what do you say you should do?"

"Of course, it is a combination of suppression and appeasement, and it is a two-pronged approach. ”

"Be specific. ”

Prince Shuo replied: "Fu is based on the grassroots level, but it leaves a little way for the other party to live, a little hope, so as not to drive the dogs into the poor alleys and force them to fight with us, so we have to make two preparations for this bandit, a knife in one hand, a sweet fruit in the other, if you are obedient, you will be given a sweet fruit, and if you are disobedient, you will be given a knife." ”

"It makes sense," Qianlong bowed: "It's a bit interesting to use both soothing and appeasement, but how to do it specifically?"

"Your Majesty, you are going to ask the emperor's brother," Prince Shuo said very embarrassedly: "Slave, I held back all night to come up with a general program for suppressing bandits, but the real bandit is not just a general program for suppressing bandits, it needs to make different choices at different times and places for different times, such a big thing, I can't do it, you'd better find someone else, I still want to keep this head for a few more years." ”

Qianlong was still very satisfied with Prince Shuo's strategy, but he still had no way to deal with the inertia of his imperial brother, so he turned his gaze for help to He Shen who was standing aside. He Shen knew Qianlong's thoughts well, so he smiled and said to Prince Shuo: "What does the prince mean is that you are unwilling to share your worries for the emperor?"

Hearing He Shen's words, Prince Shuo immediately became furious: "He fatty, Lao Tzu, I didn't provoke you today, you don't sow discord between Lao Tzu and me there, and believe it or not, I will whip you with a big mouth." ”

He Shen replied: "This is not the prince, you are not, everyone is also an official of the court, and they should do their best to serve the emperor, how can they be like the prince every day, except for the eagle and cockfight, eat and drink, and take a share of the court for nothing." ”

Prince Shuo rolled his eyes when he heard this: "This king, I just like to drive eagles and cockfights, what can you do if you eat and drink, and besides, I am not the only one who drives eagles and dogs, the children of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Dynasty are like this, why do you have to stare at this king?"

Qianlong said with a smile at this time: "This is the emperor's brother, you are not, although I am the lord of the Qing Dynasty, but you are also the heir of Taizu Taizong, you also have a part in this country, if you have the ability, come out to help me, if you can't resist me, don't embarrass you." ”

Prince Shuo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you are a difficult slave, the slave is a nonsense prince, I just want to share the emperor's worries, I can't do such a big thing, if you miss the emperor, it will be a big bad thing for you to suppress bandits, not to mention that there are so many ministers in the court, they are all several times smarter than the emperor's brother and me, and you can send someone better than me." ”

He Shen said leisurely: "In the final analysis, you still refuse to solve problems for the emperor." ”

Prince Shuo said angrily: "Who said that I am unwilling to share the worries and work for the emperor, the problem is that I will never be able to do such a big thing, but the emperor said so, or the ministers will suppress the smoke and dust of the seventeenth road entrenched near the two rivers for the imperial court, and the matter of the Red Flower Society, the emperor will ask Gao Ming?"

He Shen's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay, Lord Wang, you are making a military order!"

Prince Shuo said angrily: "Stand up, what am I afraid of, my head is only a scar the size of a bowl, if I don't come out to do something again, I don't know how you bury me behind my back?"

He Shen followed and asked, "How many soldiers and horses is the prince going to use?"

Prince Shuo said disdainfully: "Using the imperial court's soldiers and horses, I think you are either an internal bandit, or your head is in the water." ”

When Qianlong heard this, he immediately said: "If you have something to say, let's not scold people, and Aiqing is also kind." ”

Prince Shuo said angrily: "If you suppress bandits like him, you can't suppress them in eight lifetimes, he clearly doesn't want to suppress bandits, so he told the bandits, let the family either get ready, or run away quickly, so this time to suppress bandits, the younger brother does not plan to use a single soldier of the court, all the clothed minions in the house, when to suppress the bandits, how to suppress them, it is all up to the slaves, and those minions are already idle and used to it, and they will soon become pigs if they are inactive." ”

Qianlong couldn't help but say, "Can they do it?"

"If you can't do it, you have to do it," Prince Shuo said: "The enemy is in the light, I am in the dark, it is not easy to suppress bandits, if you mobilize the imperial court soldiers and horses, it is easy to show the rumors, rather than simply this bandit will not be suppressed, but the subordinate brother also has a condition, I can suppress the bandits without using a soldier in the court, a penny and a grain, but all the gains from the bandits belong to our Shuo Wangfu." ”

Qianlong hasn't spoken yet, and He Shen is already opposing: "All the gains from the bandits belong to your Shuowang Mansion, and your appetite is too great, prince." ”

Prince Shuo said confidently: "What do you mean that my appetite is too big, I don't need a soldier and a general in the imperial court, a money and a grain to prepare dry food for the court to suppress bandits, you and the fat man you bring your own dry food, out of the horse to suppress the seventeen smoke and dust, this king I have absolutely nothing to say, you must know that the ten roads of smoke and dust are entrenched in the two rivers, not only robbing the merchants, but even the official food and military salaries of the imperial court have been robbed several times, our regular army is just taking people's money, if I can really suppress them, you should have stolen the fun." ”

He Shen still wanted to say more, but Qianlong was already saying: "Your conditions are acceptable, but Teng Ke has to remind you that the seventeenth road smoke and dust is a real bandit, you don't want to suppress the bandits, let the bandits kill you, if that's the case, this fun will be great." “

Prince Shuo said very confidently: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured, this courtier is ready, for this time to suppress bandits, this king has specially spent a lot of money to hire two top masters on the rivers and lakes." ”

He Shen was immediately happy: "What master can you invite, prince?"

Prince Shuo's mouth pursed: "I'm not happy to tell you, if you are interested, let's go out to practice, and bet 10,000 taels of silver for nothing, do you dare? If you don't dare, shut up for me." ”

He Shen said stupidly: "If you have the ability, you go to find Prince Rong, he is the number one master of our Wanwan Qing Dynasty, is it interesting to bully me?"

"This king likes to bully you, what can you do?"
