Centennial body

Chapter 6: The Holy Candle

When Emperor Qianlong said this, it was 45 years. He Shen entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and was introduced to Yanxi Hall by the little eunuch. The emperor sat alone on the Taishi chair, holding a memorial in his hand. But he never wrote.

"The servant kowtows to the emperor."

Qianlong glanced at him, waved his hand to signal him to flatten his body, threw the zhezi directly in front of him, and said calmly: "Just take a look at the zhezi on Haining."

At first, He Shen thought it was Haining from Zhejiang, but after opening the booklet, he found out that it was Haining, the inspector of Yunnan, who seemed to have a relationship with him.Looking at the content again, it was he who accused Li Shiyao, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, of corrupting the law and enriching his own pockets, and he was overjoyed at that time.

Qianlong watched his expression, and said slowly: "What do you think?"

"The slave thinks that this matter is of great importance, and it is better to have a special person go to investigate and deal with it." He Shen said cautiously.

Although Li Shiyao's name looks like a Han, but this Han has a lot of background - his fourth generation ancestor is Li Yongfang, an old general of the Ming Dynasty who is well-known both inside and outside the Guan. This Li Yongfang married his granddaughter, so he is called Fushun By the way, Li Shiyao's grandfather was awarded the first-class uncle by meritorious service, and his father was also the secretary of the household department. His family is deeply intertwined and it is very difficult to offend.

Qianlong nodded, "Who do you think is more appropriate to send?"

"The slave thinks it's still the case, and should go with the important officials of the Ministry of Punishment or the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"like?"

He Shen chose his words carefully, "Kan Ning'a, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Qian Feng, Supervising Censor."

He and Qian Feng had always been at odds, and this nomination was indeed well-behaved and out of public interest.

"Yes, you can draw up the decree, but one more person must be added." The emperor squinted his eyes and said, "Military Minister He Shen."

He Shen was indeed a little surprised, he couldn't help but kowtowed to thank him, and then heard Qianlong say: "You are a rare talent, and you are my minister with great power. I have high hopes for you."

He Shen secretly speculated about the emperor's intentions, and heard the emperor say: "I am the Son of Heaven, and all things against the world and people in the world are bestowed on me by heaven, is this correct?"

He Shen suddenly became clear in his heart, without any hesitation, "I am willing to do my best for the Holy One."

The emperor said meaningfully: "Someone once asked me, you have no achievements, no merits, no family and no title, why do I promote you repeatedly, and I said to him at that time, 'If you have extraordinary achievements, you must treat extraordinary people. ', do you think I'm right?"

He Shen wondered in his heart who asked the emperor like this, and after much deliberation, I'm afraid it was the old man Agui, but he still didn't show it on the face, and kowtowed again: "The emperor loves me so much, the slave can't repay it. Only by working hard on errands and doing things can we repay His Majesty's kindness."

The emperor was already old, but his eyes were still sharp and energetic, and he looked at him firmly, "I told him, as long as you use it properly, you are the best slave in the world. If you do this job well, there will be more Great grace."

He Shen knelt down on the ground: "The ancient Yun Shi died for his confidant, and the slave will definitely work hard and live up to the entrustment of the Holy One."

"Your eldest son should be five years old now?"

"Yes."

Qianlong smiled and said, "His name is not very good. When your job is done, I will personally name him a good name like Ele Jitmur Erke Babai!"

He Shen's scalp tingled, half of it was out of joy, the emperor's favorite ten princesses were about the same age as his own son, the emperor's naming was already a clear indication, half of it was worrying about his son, if he also got a twelve-character name No matter how good the prize is, it is also a bad thing.

Qianlong looked at him deeply: "Don't disappoint me."

Fukang'an had a half-smile but not a smile: "The matter of Li Shiyao gave you a big advantage. First, you went to investigate him to death, and then you asked your party members to beat him to death, and then you came out and pretended to sentence him. A beheaded prisoner, sell him a favor. How did you know he would recover?"

"Frankly speaking, I don't know, but I think the emperor doesn't want to kill him, so why should I be such a villain?" He Shen was a little drunk, but he was cold and trembling all over, "If you want to say that you are taking advantage , your share is not small, if I hadn't gone to investigate Li Shiyao, where would it be your turn to be the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou?"

Fu Kang'an laughed again: "Exactly, if your Su Shisan's errands are not in a mess, I'm afraid the emperor will not see that I am a capable minister."

"Hehe, don't you think about this matter? Do you dare to say that Hailancha and Tuqinbao are rebellious and not as capable as you, Mr. Fu?"

Fukang'an raised his brows upside down, "Heshen, Heshen, you have turned black and white to such an extent that you still have the nerve to mention Tuqinbao? If it weren't for your improper command, Tuqinbao would have died at the hands of thieves? Therefore, the army It is light to disobey the general's orders. If I am a man of the Eight Banners, if I am more bloody, I will mutiny and kill you. And if the soldiers of the three armies do not obey the orders, why do they listen to Agui, me, and Hailancha? "

He Shen got up and pointed at him, "You guys are collaborating with Agui, and want to seize my military power!"

"Take your military power? Are you obsessed with power? When has military power ever been in the hands of a slave like you?" Fukang'an leaned back, "It's you who have always wanted to grab my military power, but it's a pity that you haven't I can achieve my wish. The Military Aircraft Department and the Sixth Department are almost in your hands, do you really have an evil intention and want to overthrow the world?"

He Shen's handsome face was flushed with anger, "Hehe, I dare to say that I am the only one who loves and wields power in this world. You are all pure and innocent? It is you, Master Fu, have you never bent the law for personal gain? If you really Clean and tidy, how can I catch an empty bullet to impeach you? As for the young master Fu who has to carry sixteen sedan chairs even if he goes out to war, you ask yourself, if it wasn't for me going around and planning around, it would be based on that master's For the expenses, how many Qing countries can afford it?"

"You don't care about your reputation at all?" Fukang'an's eyes were full of inquiry, "Do you know what they say about you? He Shen is favored by his appearance and joy, and he wants to have fun, and he doesn't care about the hardships of remote areas. , this is the cause of prosperity and decline. If such remarks are left in the situation, how do you let your future generations deal with themselves?"

"Children and grandchildren?" He Shen said sadly, "Because of Gu Lun and Princess Xiao, my Ade may not be able to do anything, but he must be in a bleak situation, and he has no biological heirs. What is the difference between this and the severance of incense?"

Fukang'an lowered his head and smiled: "The new emperor is ungrateful, and I, the Fucha clan, will not end well either. It's just a courtier and an emperor..."

"However, there are differences." Fukang'an changed the subject, "For example, Lord Qianlong disliked and humiliated Mr. Zhang Hengchen in every possible way, but he treated his two sons, Zhang Ruocheng and Zhang Ruoai, very kindly. , Ertai, E Rongan, and E Bi's father and son are also the same. But in my opinion, the new emperor is a master who does not miss old feelings and kills everything."

Self-consciously, the words were almost finished, and He Shen finally looked at him seriously, "You and I have always been against each other, why on earth did you come here to visit me?"
