Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 327
Entering May, Qianlong was in a good mood.

Since Feng Sheng's use of troops, the front line of Jinchuan has repeatedly won victories.

Bo Qing'e, the left deputy general of Dingxi, led the troops to surround the Minuo official village. Although the Minuo official village has not been breached yet, the news from the front shows that the leader of Xiaojinchuan, Seng Gesang, is at the end of his rope. It is expected that he will be able to break through in July at the latest. Of.

Another military victory made Qianlong regret that he had listened to the peace proposal proposed by Yu Minzhong, Yinglian, Fulehun, Yiltu and others.

In a fit of anger, Yiltu, Minister of the Ministry of War, served as General Yili, but failed to complete the prohibition of shotguns by the Torghut Department, and fined him with one year's salary.

Yiletu wrote a letter claiming to be guilty, and was willing to pay 6000 taels of criminal silver, Qianlong agreed.

Within two days, the servant Gao Pu impeached the executed eunuch Gao Yuncong, Xiang Zuodu Yushi Guanbao, and the servants Shen Bao, Ni Chengkuan, and Wu Tan leaked the records of the Taoist government.

Qianlong summoned Yu Minzhong and Yinglian and asked them why they didn't report the previous report.The imperial edict scolded him, ordered him to take his post, and stayed in his post with leniency.

Yu Minzhong and Yinglian knew they were guilty, and each wrote a letter willing to pay 5000 taels for the crime.

The three important ministers were "found faults" by the emperor one after another, which frightened Fu Lehun, the minister of the Ministry of Rites who first proposed the peace talks. Before the emperor could take any action, he took the initiative to pay 30,000 taels of criminal silver on the grounds that the Ministry of Rites had made many mistakes in his appointment.

In this way, it is safe to change.

Not long after, there was a decree to write Yonggui as the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and to be on duty at the Military Aircraft Department.

Along with this decree, there was also the decree of appointing Heshen as the Minister of Internal Affairs, serving as the vice president of the National History Museum, rewarding Dai Yipin Dingdai, and bestowing horse riding in the Forbidden City.

Yonggui is a veteran minister who has worked in the frontier for many years and has made great achievements. He is also called "Second Gui" with Agui and is known for his integrity.

However, Heshen moved for several months, which really caused a sensation in the ruling and opposition parties.

In particular, if officials want to have the privilege of riding horses in the Forbidden City, they must be at least 65 years old. However, He Shen can enjoy this honor at only 25 years old, which shows the depth of the emperor's family.

All of a sudden, all the military ministers in the Military Aircraft Department were very respectful to He Shen.

Heshen, who was young and successful, did not rely on the emperor's family to see no one, and he got along well with his colleagues, and he was even more lenient to his subordinates. He used the past years of hardships of the ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as an excuse to ask each household to give more sympathetic silver. The servants of the Upper Three Banners gave praises to the general manager.

Due to the rapid promotion of Heshen, many officials came to cling to him one after another, but Heshen refused to be with these officials, and refused several officials to offer bribes in one day. Heshen silver 5000 taels.

But not long after, bad news came from Jinchuan.

The left deputy general of Dingxi, the deputy capital commander of the Eight Banners Manchuria Zhenglan Banner, and Bo Qinger, a cabinet scholar, unfortunately contracted the wind and cold because of overseeing the battle day and night, and had diarrhea every day.

Qianlong was very anxious and concerned when he heard the news, and ordered Bo Qing to hand over the affairs of commanding the army to General Feng Feng of Dingxi, and went to Chengdu to recuperate in peace of mind.

In view of Bo Qing's previous contributions, he was specially granted the double-eyed Hualing, and was awarded the titles of Minister of the Ministry of War and Minister of Lifan Academy.

After the decree was issued to Jinchuan, Dingxi General Feng Sheng'e ordered his deputy Du Tongrenhe to send Bo Qing'e, who couldn't even walk, back to Chengdu.

Renhe Haosheng comforted the yellow and painful face and cleared the amount, and said that the emperor will be the governor of Sichuan in the future.

This is also a reasonable thing, if Bo Qing'o has no intention of making Bo Qing'o the governor of Sichuan, why should the emperor confer the titles of Minister of War and Minister of Lifan Academy.

"The emperor treats me so well, but I am not able to serve the country's concerns today with my current body. I am afraid that the thieves will jump over the wall in a hurry. Please tell the general that all defense areas must be supervised again and again, and there must be no omissions, so that the thieves can take advantage of it. "

Seriously ill, Bo Qing'e was still eager to fight the war, and asked Renhe to pass on some unfinished things to the general before dictating.

After Feng Shenge personally directed the siege of Minuo's official village, the emperor's order came again, "The weather is hot, are the soldiers in the army not resistant to the heat? Are the medicinal materials for the summer heat ready? Don't reduce too many people due to illness. If you break the beauty Promise, you can rest for half a month before marching to Dajinchuan, and don't let the soldiers be too sleepy. I heard that there are many snow-capped mountains in Dajinchuan, so I know how to conquer and report to me."

Here in Beijing, since the beginning of May, it has been unbearably hot and humid. Fortunately, there was a heavy rain the day before yesterday, which swept away the restlessness in the city.

However, after the heavy rain, the Shuntian Mansion said that the water in the streets and alleys of the capital overflowed the trouser legs, and asked for an order to allocate money to dredge the waterways in the city, and Qianlong ordered the Military Aircraft Office to discuss it.

The Qin Tianjian also reported the sky, and the recent heavy rain in the capital area may cause disasters. Please the imperial court to make preparations for flood control and news.

The coolness brought by the heavy rain made Qianlong temporarily dispel the idea of ​​going to Chengde Mountain Resort, and reviewed the memorials of governors from all over the country in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As he was criticizing, he felt uncomfortable in his throat, and could not help coughing lightly, and He Shen, who was waiting beside him, handed over the spittoon.

After spitting out the phlegm in his throat, Qianlong nodded, and looked at He Shen with relief: "Among these slaves, you, He Shen, are the most careful. The more I see you, the happier I am, and I can't do without you. "

He Shen put the spittoon aside and said with a soft smile, "Your Majesty, it's not that the slave is careful, it's just that the slave is always ready to solve the emperor's worries, otherwise what's the use of the emperor's slave?"

Qianlong couldn't help but also laughed, and asked Heshen if he still lived in the old house.

He Shen said that it was the house that his father often kept.

Qianlong shook his head and said, "I'm wearing Yipin Ding, the house needs to be bigger, or else where you live on the southern shore of Shichahai, I see the scenery is pretty good, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs build you a house there."

Hearing this, He Shen couldn't help feeling warm in his heart and sour in his nose, but he rejected the emperor's kindness, saying: "Although the slave's house is small, it is still suitable for living, and there are not many people in the family, so it's good to live here. "

Qianlong closed the Zhili governor's booklet and stared at Heshen: "You take what I give you. If I don't give you, don't ask me for it."

He Shen was startled, and hurriedly knelt down: "Thank you, master Long En!"

"Get up."

Qianlong slowly sat up from the dragon chair, looking a little tired.

He Shen hurriedly asked: "Is the master going to rest?"

Qianlong nodded, and said: "I need to sleep for a while. This person is not convinced. When I was your age, I didn't have the habit of taking a nap, but now, I really can't do without a nap."

He Shen hurriedly accompanied Qianlong to the dormitory, took off the emperor's shoes and covered the thin quilt before exiting respectfully.

But he didn't go back to the military plane, but just looked at some official documents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the pavilion outside the hall.

While watching, the internal supervisor in charge of passing the report rushed over.

"What's the matter? The emperor is resting."

"He Zhongtang, hurry up for eight hundred miles!"

"Which side?"

"Sichuan!"

"Sichuan?"

He Shen hurriedly took the package and opened it to see.

After reading it, he was stunned, and then hurried to the outside of the emperor's bedroom. Originally, he wanted to knock on the door immediately, but he raised his hand but didn't dare to knock.

I went back and forth a few times, thinking that this was a major military matter that could not be delayed, so I still gritted my teeth and knocked on the door.

There was no movement in the room at first, and He Shen knocked again, only to hear the emperor's displeased voice: "You bloody slaves, I can't even take a nap."

He Shen panicked and said, "Master, I'm your slave He Shen."

"He Shen? What's the matter, are you so frizzy?"

Qianlong, who had just fallen asleep, forced himself to sit up.

He Shen said outside: "Your Majesty, the [-] Li that just came from Sichuan hastened."

"Oh? But Meno has captured!"

Hearing that it was an urgent trip at eight hundred miles from Sichuan, Qianlong lost all sleepiness, got out of bed a little excitedly, and walked towards the door before he had time to put on his shoes.

After the door was opened, he saw that He Shen's face was not happy, so he couldn't help being taken aback, reached out to take the urgent delivery, and after reading it, his color changed just like He Shen did before.

The urgent mail was sent by General Dingxi Fengsheng, and there was only one thing in it - five days ago, the bandits broke out of the encirclement and headed all the way to Chongqing, and there seemed to be signs of fleeing down the river to Huguang.
