Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2616 Ten Volume 4 You Are Gone, The Moon Is Dead

In the 45th year of Qianlong, he was granted the governorship of Yunnan and Guizhou.

In the 46th year of Qianlong, he was transferred to be the governor of Sichuan and the general of Chengdu.

……

In the past few years, although Fukang'an has been a military official, he has served as a big official in Xinjiang.However, such frequent transfers, from northeast to southwest, almost obliquely across the entire territory of China, such an experience can almost be described by the word "Dianpei".

Such upheavals, but wherever he went, he was able to do his job with all his heart, and put down the local bandit troubles or civil uprisings one by one.

This may seem simple, but it is not easy.It is said that "a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake". Every time Fukang'an goes to a place, he stays for only one or two years, and he can handle the local errands properly, which shows his deep intentions.

From this point of view, Fukang'an has made great contributions to the country. He was named the crown prince and Taibao. It has little to do with whether he is the nephew of Empress Xiaoxian or the son of the ninth master Fu Heng. , I earned it for myself.Fighting his life on the battlefield, concentrating on the local area, every step he takes to rise is actually not easy.

Lawang said euphemistically, "Do you know why he has been so turbulent these years? Firstly, after the Battle of Jinchuan, he proved his ability, and the emperor also recognized him as a usable person, so he was willing to give him the title of a great official in the frontiers." For an official position, let him experience it."

"But... so why isn't he loyal to the court and trying his best to make up for it? Almost every time there is an accident in various places, or bandits, or civil disturbances, when the emperor has not yet decided who to send, he is the first one. Volunteer to volunteer early..."

Just like Master Jiu back then, when Dajinchuan at that time became a quagmire that the court could not get out of, and the ministers around him were hesitant to protect themselves, it was Master Jiu who volunteered to lay down his life's achievements; Jiuye's son, he also tried his best to serve the court in this way.

"I understand what brother-in-law means." Yong Yan nodded lightly, "I can clearly distinguish between public and private. He has made meritorious service in the court and should be rewarded; but this cannot compensate for his personal faults—"

Yong Yan took a deep breath, "No matter how much he has done for the country, how can he get my sister back?! He is not the only minister who can serve the country; but my seventh sister is the only one in this life..."

After Yong Yan finished speaking, she also burst into tears.

Er Nie passed away, after all, the age has come; Ninth Sister passed away, after all, there is still Deya, a child left behind.

But as for Seventh Sister, his eldest sister, who was named Princess Gulun, should have lived a noble life!But she went so early, without even leaving a child behind her... Although Seventh Sister is a little weaker, if Qilin Bao didn't make matters worse, Seventh Sister wouldn't have gone so early...

Yong Yan tried his best to calm down, and patted Lawang on the shoulder, "Brother-in-law, you don't have to persuade me. Even if I have the name of benevolence, I am still a person who distinguishes between love and hate! I will not, in the name of so-called benevolence, Just forget what hate is."

Yong Yan's eyes were firm, "He is a meritorious minister. Yu Gong, I can respect him at a distance; but Yu privately, Seventh Sister can't be resurrected. Forgive me, I can never change my hatred for him."

Lawang could only sigh deeply.

Even though Xiao Qi had let go of his feelings towards Qilin Bao before he left... but thinking of Xiao Qi, why doesn't his heart ache?
Being able to forgive does not mean that Qilin is innocent.He can persuade Yong Yan, but why wouldn't he stare blankly at the half-empty bed beside him when he dreamed back in the middle of the night, wishing that he had already died in the dream...
.
It was still in this August of the 47th year of Qianlong. On the [-]th, the emperor had just passed the Longevity Festival, and the entire Summer Resort was still immersed in joy.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, as usual, worship the moon.

The emperor is a rabbit, so worshiping the moon is a big event.

Unexpectedly, this August [-]th, there will be another lunar eclipse.

Even though Mid-Autumn Festival is a reunion in the world, the most important moon in the sky is missing.

The 72-year-old emperor wearily decreed, "Let's go, let's go."

He walked back to the dormitory alone, and slowly closed his clothes and lay down on the couch.

Wei Zhu came to serve carefully, wanting to undress the emperor.But the emperor suddenly became annoyed for some reason, "Braid, you messed up my braid! It's all fluffed!"

Wei Zhu fell to her knees in fright, not knowing where to start from.

"This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die... This slave will tell the eunuchs at the massage place to re-braid the emperor's hair."

But the emperor sat cross-legged on the couch, staring up at the sky for a moment, as if he forgot what to say to Wei Zhu in front of him, and even more forgot to straighten his waist at any time - at this moment, the emperor had drooping white braids and his back was unmistakably stooped...

"Wei Zhu, how old is Qianlong this year?" the emperor suddenly asked.

Wei Zhu was so frightened that she fell to the ground and didn't dare to speak for a long time.

The emperor is over 70 years old, and it is said that people over 70 have been rare since ancient times. The emperor's spirit and memory seem to have really declined after he passed [-] years old.But the emperor is strong, and never shows any signs of oldness in front of ministers; fortunately, the emperor has always been well-read and memorized, so he rarely reveals such oldness.

But now, why did the emperor suddenly ask this question?
The emperor and his old man, do you really not even remember how many years Qianlong is this year?

Wei Zhu was in a dilemma for a while, and dared not answer, so he had to bite the bullet and reply: "Return to the emperor, this year is—the 47th year of Qianlong."

The emperor unexpectedly stretched his legs from the couch and jumped down directly.

"47 years of Qianlong? It's already 47 years of Qianlong?!"

There was a strange expression on the emperor's face, as if he was angry, but he clearly harbored some special ecstasy and expectation.

Perhaps, because of this ecstasy and anticipation, the emperor unexpectedly swept away his old look, straightened his back, and brightened his eyes. Even the hairy braid just now suddenly became smooth and smooth. Get up!
Wei Zhu was even more confused, completely unable to understand what happened to the emperor.

But the emperor feigned anger again, pointed at him with a childish air, and scolded him, "You old slave! You're old too, and you can't change your mind, right? It's the 47th year of Qianlong, and you don't Tell me!"

Wei Zhu's grievance... It's already August, Qianlong has been here for eight months in 47 years, why did the emperor suddenly mention this?

This is - what string is wrong?

The emperor rubbed his hands and walked around the same place, even his footsteps were young and joyful, "I said it was the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, and why there was another lunar eclipse. Yes, I was wrong, How could I be so busy that I forgot to go?"

The emperor stopped his steps excitedly, blinked and smiled at Wei Zhu, "Go, pass on my will: next year, the roads passing through Shengjing will be divided into places by the banners of the alliance leaders such as Harqin, and all roads will be repaired and repaired. It was prepared by the leader of the alliance, and the silver taels will still be rewarded according to the amount spent in the interior."

Wei Zhu blinked, "Your Majesty, are you going back to Shengjing next year?"

On the way back to Shengjing from the capital, you have to pass through Mongolian Karaqin and other places, and the Karaqin places need to repair the roads for the pick-up.The emperor wants to reward the silver taels, instead of paying the silver by the various ministries of Harqin.

The emperor is going back to Shengjing next year, why is he so happy?
The emperor gave Wei Zhu a blank look, "Yes, I am going back to Shengjing. You old bastard, why are you talking so nonsense, hurry up and pass the decree!"

Passing the decree is simple. Nakaraqin is divided into three banners: left, middle and right. Among them, Zhubazaner of the Karaqin Right Banner married the eldest daughter of the emperor's grandson Mianen just a year ago; The flag, and Dan Badorji, the son of Gushan beige, is the forehead of Mianjin Gege.

If they take over next year, it will be too late for these two brothers-in-law to be happy.

Wei Zhu was worried, but it was the emperor...

The emperor is over 70, and today is the lunar eclipse on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month. Did the emperor feel a little confused because of a momentary worry?
Wei Zhu ran out to deliver the decree, feeling worried about the emperor, and whispered to Ruyi to look at the emperor.
.
Wei Zhu went out in a daze, and the emperor could not help but sigh and smile because he saw that expression.

That old slave, no matter what happens to him, just because of his surname, he is willing to stay by his side.

Even though the old servant is old, his eyes are blurry now, and his legs and feet are even more inflexible; and Ruyi and other eunuchs have grown up long ago, and all of them can replace Wei Zhu, but he is still willing to let Wei Zhu be there. Stay by your side.

Even Li Yu back then, he was willing to let him go to the elderly; but this Wei Zhu, he was unwilling to let go.

The hall was empty for a while, only the cigarettes flowing quietly in the incense leaker, and the ticking sound of the western clock—he used to think it was noisy, even the palace liked western clocks, but he asked the craftsmen to general The watch movement was adjusted, so it didn't stop ticking all the time.

When it sounds, it reminds people that time is slipping away bit by bit.People, just follow the ticking sound and grow older little by little.

He once told all the Western clocks in the palace to be silent, and used them as a "Western Clock".It is only allowed to record the time, but not to remind.

But in the past few years, he is willing to listen to that noisy voice.

He also ordered the craftsman to bring back all the watch movements, and make them tick-tock in his ears.

He is over 70 years old. It is said that the older he is, the more he should be afraid of time passing by and the day when the deadline will come, right?

But he, he did the opposite, and he liked to listen to the movement instead.

He paced slowly, walked to the window, and looked up at the dark night sky.

On August [-]th, there is no full moon, which is a great pity.

However, he also understood why.

——The ritual of worshiping the moon should be the women in the harem.The person in charge is naturally the master of the harem.

Now that the master of the harem is long gone, who will preside over the ceremony of worshiping the moon?So if Lord Taiyin appeared, what would be the use?

Besides... it was the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Jade Rabbit was still there, but in the middle of the month—the osmanthus tree had withered.

Without laurel, how can the moon be full?
He smiled wryly slowly, "It's all up to you, if you leave, everything will be lost."
