He Shen nodded and continued: "Mo Yan, the old man still knows that the Lu family and Shou Nan Fu Nan are in the house of General Na Lahong, if you want, how about opening an account together?"

Mo Yan was overjoyed when he heard it, and he couldn't believe that it was true.

"Of course I do, I don't know why adults are so wrong about love, and I'm really uneasy in my heart. Mo Mo was a little grateful, and calmed down a little.

"Alas," He Shen sighed, "Everyone in the Manchu Dynasty knows that your Xu family's 'Yizhulou Poetry Case' is the biggest unjust case since the Lu Liuliang case in the Yongzheng period, but as long as the initiator of the year, Liu Yong, is still there, this case will be difficult to correct and rehabilitate." If it weren't for Liu Yong, who was then a scholar in Jiangsu, who secretly reported to the emperor and added oil and vinegar to the platform to deceive the saints, how could he have wrongfully killed the Xu family, and also involved a large number of officials who were unhappy for the Xu family. ”

"I know. Mo Yan showed hatred in his eyes.

He Shen was secretly happy in his heart, and some words were stopped, and he must not involve himself.

"Mo Cruel, your mother and daughter have lived hard enough over the years, right? Forget it, the old man will not be held accountable for the fact that you burned Liu Quantongzhou's two money shops, after all, he was at fault first, and the 100,000 taels of silver you robbed should be regarded as a little compensation for Xu Suniang. He Shen gave the final blow.

Mo Yan was stunned when he heard this, how could he even find out about this matter by He Shen.

"This, this adult also knows" He was completely speechless.

"Mo Remnant, Xu Suniang and Lu's mother and son will notify the household department to handle the matter of opening an account, and it is estimated that the certificate will be issued to you within a day or two. ”

"Thank you, sir. Mo Yan bowed his hand again.

"When you came to the palace with the old man during the fourth watch, the saint heard that you had defeated the Dongying samurai in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and said that he wanted to meet you. He Shen said with a smile.

"Well, it's good to go to the palace and have a look. ”

"It's not just a casual look, you have to pay attention to a lot of etiquette, and the old man will tell you about it on the way to the court. ”

"In the court, remember not to tell your life experience, one is Liu Yong, and the other is that the case of the Shengshang's personal instructions cannot be questioned, you have no jokes, we can only solve these remaining problems in private, understand?"

"Got it. Mo replied.

Looking at the back of Mo Yan leaving, He Shen sneered twice: "Liu Luoguo, the old man has found you an enemy again, so you can do it yourself." ”

When Mo Yan returned to the post house, the family was waiting anxiously, and when Na Lahong saw him, he couldn't wait to ask about the situation.

When Mo Yan told about He Shen's willingness to help him open an account and that the emperor wanted to see him, Na Lahong almost collapsed.

"Oh my God, how the hell do you know these people?" he exclaimed.

The ancients set the evening as the first watch, the second watch, the third watch, the fourth watch, and the fifth watch at the end of the second watch, and the ministers generally waited outside the noon gate in the middle of the night. Ministers of five grades or above in the capital are said to be in one dynasty, and those above the ninth rank and some who are old and retired and recuperating in the capital can participate in the court meeting on the first and fifteenth days of each month after receiving the emperor's permission.

This day coincided with the first day of the first day of the new year, and there were already many people waiting outside the door at noon, and when Heshen's sedan chair arrived, everyone came forward to say hello, which showed that his power was flourishing.

When the ministers saw Mo Yan and learned that this was the man who had defeated the Dongying samurai with two pieces of sugar cane, they were all surprised that such a young man could have such a high level of skill.

"Hey, it's you. One of the guards recognized him and ran over to talk with joy.

"It turned out to be Brother Li, and the younger brother was polite. Mo Yan recognized that this person was Li Yuantong, the head of the guard he had seen in Yangzhou, so he arched his hand and said.

Li Yuantong said beautifully: "Last time in Yangzhou, because of his meritorious service, he has now been promoted to a first-class guard in the interior, and he is a third-class guard." ”

"Congratulations, Brother Li. ”

"It's not thanks to you, I will invite you to drink in the Eight Hutongs when I am off duty. Li Yuantong said with great interest.

When Mo Yan saw his acquaintance, his nervousness gradually eased.

The drums sounded, and the ministers lined up through the noon gate to come to the Qianqing Palace, and Mo Yan waited outside the palace gate to wait for the emperor's summons because he was a civilian.

Mo Yan stood outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace, with a group of guards next to him, his eyes looked around, and he felt that it was much bigger than the Thonburi Palace.

Qianqing Palace is located in the Qianqing Gate, "Qian" is the meaning of "sky", "Qing" is "thorough", symbolizing the transparent sky, not muddy or turbid, implying the emperor's Qingming. Above the throne in the palace hangs the "Zhengda Guangming" plaque of the Shunzhi Emperor's imperial pen, Qianlong usually summons the ministers here to deal with the regular government affairs and approve the chapters, and also receives foreign envoys.

"Xuan Mo is here. I don't know how long it took, Mo Yandu was impatient to wait, and then he heard the summons calling him into the temple.

He followed the white-haired eunuch to the main hall, and according to the etiquette taught to him by He Shen, he first knelt down and bowed, and then shouted long live, his voice was stiff and awkward, and some courtiers couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, don't be crippled, I heard that you defeated the Toei samurai in the Ryukyus with two sugar canes, let's hear what happened. Qianlong said with a condescending smile.

"Back to the emperor, that day under the ring to watch the people of the Qing Dynasty and the Dongying warriors compete in martial arts," Mo Yan decided to brag about it, "Na Lafu, the son of the deputy envoy of the Qing Dynasty, General Na Lahong, came on the field first, and used the Wudang sword technique to easily take the Dongying Ronin ferry Jifu, and the people of Ryukyu were all happy. As a result, a special trip from Dongying came to the first master of the second knife stream, this person is said to have not met an opponent in 20 years, it is indeed very powerful, although Na Lagongzi is not his opponent, but for the face of the Qing Dynasty, he would rather splash blood in the ring than retreat and admit defeat, so that the grass people were deeply moved. In order not to humiliate the Qing Dynasty, General Narahan is ready to go to the field in person at the age of sixty, how can the grass people be indifferent at this time?"

The courtiers listened with relish and smiled in return.

At that time, the grass people disguised themselves as the old men of the Qing Dynasty, and decided to humiliate the arrogant Dongying samurai, so they climbed into the ring, asked the Ryukyu merchants under the stage for a sugar cane and cut it in two, and beat the first-class Dongying master Oni Duojian to the ground unconscious in a few clicks. Your Majesty, you didn't see it, there was a sea of people under the stage, and the people of Ryukyu were shouting that the Qing Dynasty was invincible, and those Dongying people were all rolling off the stage. ”

"Haha," Qianlong laughed, "Mo Yan, although you are exaggerating a little, I am still deeply grateful, with such patriotic subjects, why worry that my Qing Dynasty is not strong?

"Returning to the emperor, Na Lahong has been recalled to Beijing and is waiting for a new post to take office. The military department Shangshu stepped forward and said.

"These loyal servants should be properly promoted, so do it. ”

"Obey. ”

"Mo Remnant, we haven't seen each other for two years, so we have to talk to me well. He Shen and Liu Yong stayed, and the rest of the people retreated. ”

The courtiers left the Qianqing Palace after shouting long live, and only He Shen, Liu Yong and Mo Yan were left in the main hall.

"You follow me to the south study to talk. Qianlong commanded.

The south study of the Qianqing Palace, according to legend, was here that Emperor Kangxi removed the Aobai, and generally only the closer ministers were allowed to face the saints here.

At this moment, Mo Yan had time to carefully look at Liu Yong, the initiator of the "One Pillar Building Poetry Case" of this cabinet scholar. This person is mediocre in appearance, not as dignified as He Shen, and has a big hunchback, if he hadn't played the court secretly, the Xu family would not have been separated and the family would have died.

"Two Aiqing, I summoned the two of you to the south study to discuss, there is a chapter here, it is the Yunnan Grain Storage Road and Guizhou according to the inspection envoy Haining to sue the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou for corruption and perversion of the law, you can take a look. Qianlong handed them a fold.

After reading it, Liu Yong said: "The saint hated officials for accepting bribes and bribes, and issued several holy edicts asking for self-purity and law-abiding, but this Li Shiyao disregarded the grace of the saint and acted unscrupulously in Yunnan, which is really too much." ”

"It's time to clean up this Li Shiyao. He Shen nodded on the side.

"Well, I will send the two of you to Yunnan to investigate Li Shiyao, and choose to set off. Qianlong commanded.

"Obey. Liu Yong replied.

"Back to the emperor, there are still some things that have not yet been dealt with in the Military Aircraft Department, can the minister leave later?" He Shen said.

"Okay, Liu Yong, you take the first step, wait for some eyebrows to be found, and it's not too late for He Shen to go again. ”

"Yes. Liu Yong responded.

He Shen suggested: "Your Majesty, Li Shiyao's power in Yunnan is deep-rooted, Lord Liu is afraid of danger when he goes alone, Mo Yan is a native of Yunnan, and his martial arts are high, so he can secretly protect Lord Liu, so that nothing goes wrong." ”

Qianlong nodded and said, "Mo Yan, I want you to protect Liu Yong secretly, are you willing?"

"The grass people are willing. Mo Yan said without hesitation when he heard this, thinking that the opportunity had come.

"Let you let the familiar inner guard Li Yuantong accompany you, and take care of each other, but you are a civilian and have no official position, so I will give you a yellow coat. ”

Mo Yan waved his hand and said, "There are a lot of grass people's gowns, so you don't have to break the bank." ”

Qianlong laughed when he heard this, and said: "You stupid boy, the 'Imperial Yellow Jacket' is not ordinary, it is convenient to act when you see the official**." ”

"Oh, that's good. Only then did Mo Yan understand.

"Don't thank you Lord Longen?" He Shen drummed him twice.

"Thank you for the emperor's reward. Mo Yan hurriedly said, this kind of good thing can't be bought for any amount of money.

"Liu Yong, you go down and prepare first. Qianlong waved his hand.

"The minister retired. Liu Yong bowed down and left the south study.

"Heshen, this matter must be investigated to the bottom of the matter, and see how much silver this Li Shiyao has gotten. Qianlong said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you still follow the old rules. He Shen also smiled.

Mo Yan saw that the two monarchs and ministers smiled knowingly, and he didn't understand what they were talking about, but there must be something hidden inside. (To be continued.) )
