Centennial body

The two met again, but it was five years later. At that time, He Shen had married Feng Shi, the granddaughter of Feng Yinglian, the governor of Zhili, and had inherited the title of third-class light car captain. The guard at the sticky pole.

Compared with the previous situation where he and He Lin couldn't even eat enough, it was undoubtedly much better.

On this day, He Shen and several other guards came down from the Imperial Garden to inspect, and saw several generals rushing along the imperial road all the way in.

"Stop." The head guard of Heshen's team stopped them as usual.

As soon as the leader turned his head, He Shen recognized him instantly—this person was the boy who made things difficult for him outside the Hall of Martial Arts.But now the lion with claws and claws on the opponent's official uniform shows that at the age of sixteen or seventeen, he is already a military officer of the second rank!

The young man walked like a tiger, his eyebrows were full of contempt, he just glanced at them lightly, and then a military officer with a lower rank stepped forward to explain, "I want everyone to know that I am the hero who came back from Jinchuan." , the emperor wants to summon us in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, this is an imperial edict."

He Shen's heart trembled. For such a successful young man, he could only think of one person in the civil and military courts - Fu Kang'an from the family of Empress Xiaoxian.

Enemy road is narrow.

Fukangan seemed to have noticed him, and glanced at his clothes with a half-smile: "Aldu, the beauty you've been dreaming about is here."

Aldu was stunned, looked at He Shen intently, and said with a smile: "Where do we never meet again in life, I never expected to meet you here. Why, have you finished your studies? Did you take the scientific examination?"

Although Aldu is a good old man, he never speaks out of his head. Assuming that He Shen really passed the scientific examination, since he was born in Zhenghongqi in Manchuria, why bother to return to the palace as a guard?

He Shen felt bitter in his heart, but his face was always gentle and humble, "I'm a low-level official, but I didn't succeed in the imperial examination. It's a pity that I lost my name in the imperial examination in my ugly year, which made the adults laugh."

The Manchus are martial, and it is not as good as the Han people who have been immersed in poetry and books for thousands of years, and it is common to fail. Aldu smiled and encouraged: "You should do your job well, and you will have your own future in the future."

What he said was very condescending, but these Manchu and Mongolian youths who could be imperial guards from the very beginning were all born in the Eight Banners. It seems that the grandfather of Aldu in front of him seems to be a low-level Fuguo Duke.

He Shen nodded in agreement, and Ardu asked again: "Are you married?"

He Shen said in a muffled voice, "Xiaguan is also Yi Chou's wife."

"Oh, which family's Princess did you marry?"

"The Han army of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a yellow flag inlaid with Feng's family."

Al Du still felt a little strange, and Fukang'an said impatiently: "I'm afraid he has something to do with Feng Yinglian, and Al Du, are you impatient? The emperor is still waiting, what are you talking about with him? If the hour is delayed, should I cut off your head or mine?"

Al Du hurriedly silenced, and Fu Kang'an took another look at He Shen, "You have a good skin and a clever mouth, I see that you have a bright future in the future, just be careful in your life, and don't make mistakes."

After all, without waiting for He Shen to respond, he hurried away with a few people.

At this time, everyone looked at He Shen with a strange expression, because he usually behaved softly in the world, and none of the Shangguan disliked him, but now he recognizes someone like Fu Kang'an, which shows that he is used to climbing high branches. Quite a few people's expressions were filled with jealousy and disdain.

He Shen gritted his teeth, feeling sour, resentful and jealous, but could he explain it clearly in a few words?But seeing the expressions of the people around watching the excitement, he smiled calmly and said: "I met that master in Xian'an Palace before, but I was in a hurry, and I can still remember me. It is my blessing."

Everyone laughed jokingly, and continued to patrol without mentioning it.

He Shen couldn't help but look back at the distant figures of Fu Kang'an and others, and raised his head to see the dark clouds gathering in the sky around the Forbidden City. He suddenly remembered the Chinese poems that the gentlemen encouraged him when he was studying in the palace.

When he went back that night, he locked himself in his study room, and copied Li Taibai's song by Li Yong over and over again for more than a hundred times.Xuan's father can still be afraid of future generations, and his husband should not be young.

At that time, neither he nor Fu Kang'an thought that this third-class bodyguard with no obvious family background would rise to the sky so quickly.

In the 38th year of Qianlong's reign, Heshen was transferred to be the captain of Luanyiwei.Emperor Qianlong liked to drive a small chariot, and the imperial chariot drove a mule. They, the Luan Yiwei guards, had to accompany them to ensure that the imperial chariot was thorough.When the emperor was lucky to be in Shandong, He Shen happened to be walking by the side of his chariot. No matter how beautiful the spring is, it would be boring to watch for a long time. The emperor paused for a while, and then noticed the handsome little guard beside him, who was about the same age as his nephew. It was inevitable that he felt a little close, so he asked He Shen about his background in the imperial examination, etc. Seeing that He Shen spoke decently, he casually asked him to recite Meng Gongchuo.

Earlier, He Shen said that he was not ranked, and the emperor did not expect anything from him, but it would be good if he could recite it. Unexpectedly, He Shen said from the "Zi": "Meng Gongchuo is Zhao and Wei, and the old ones are superior, not Teng and Xue doctors." '" At the beginning, he was eloquent and agile, without even a single pause.Asking about the meaning of the article is also quite insightful, far better than ordinary people.

So what made everyone around him unbelievable happened like this-as soon as he returned to the capital, the imperial edict arrived, ordering Niu Hulu and Shen to be the ministers of treasury;In November, he was promoted to the Imperial Guard, and was appointed Deputy Governor of Manchuria in Zhenglan Banner; in the first month of the following year, He Shen was appointed as the right servant of the household department. His promotion speed was unprecedented since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.

Fukang'an has not been idle for the past three years. From Mount Garla to Sidong Village of Luobowa Mountain, and then to Wuwei Village of Garbo Mountain, he captured Sonomu and his family, pacified Jinchuan and Jinchuan, and won the title of Jiayong. Baturu.

After the first month passed, Fukang'an was able to return to the capital where he had been away for nearly three years.

As soon as he returned to the capital and received the reward, he was a new appointment. He was transferred from the right servant of the household department to the left servant of the household department, and the right servant of the household department was replaced by He Shen.

"Niu Hulu and Shen?" Fukang'an didn't know why, but immediately thought of that beautiful young man with soft brows who bowed his knees.

"Exactly." His second elder brother, Heshuofu Fulong'an, often walks in front of the imperial court, and is very familiar with court affairs, "This man has changed from a first- and third-class guard to a first-rank official in three years. I heard that the Holy Lord intends to let him walk. Military aircraft, this speed is only comparable to that of Ama.”

Fukangan snorted, "Is he worthy of being compared with Ama?"

After a pause, he suddenly murmured: "I have seen this person before. He is indeed a cunning person. If he only knows how to flatter horses, he will not reuse it. What I am worried about is..."

"What?" Fu Kang'an was raised by the emperor's side since he was a child, and he knew the emperor's temperament clearly, so Fu Long'an never doubted his words.

Fukang'an said slowly: "Check and balance."
