Emperor Qianlong: the beginning of his glory

Chapter 27 Uncle Fu Guo visits Zizhitang Liu Shilang at night
Tang'er returned to the mansion, and told her husband about playing queer at the same table with Qianlong that night, how the queen mother loves her, and how the emperor is so easy-going and amiable. It was all lost to me by the emperor, who said it was a "sanfu"—I'm going to send you out to be an imperial envoy, isn't it your official luck?——It's God that you put these golden melon seeds in the bottom of the box Big jackpot!"

"You should save a gold hairpin." Fu Heng said with a smile, "The emperor gave me several Ruyi handles. This idea of ​​golden melon seeds makes you so happy that you have no place to put them." Excited, uneasy, and shy, wrapped the golden melon seeds in a handkerchief, blushed and said with a smile: "I won the lottery for you, but you don't know how to feel about it. You are rewarded, you are rewarded." He won, and the taste is different! Lafayette later said, Fu Heng is a good kid, he is a descendant of Mi Sihan, and he is a close relative. The emperor wants to let your imperial envoy go out to practice for a while, and call you when he comes back Let's go to Zhangjing, the military aircraft department!" Fu Heng was stunned, and said, "Really? I knew about sending me out as an imperial envoy. I thought—"

Tang'er licked her temples, and said: "I knew it earlier and I didn't tell anyone. They are still husband and wife! Let me tell you, this is the first time you are working alone. You are young, and there are some things you can't think of. How about you?" Meet Zhang Zhongtang and ask for advice. Make the imperial envoys ostentatious. The empress and the emperor have good faces, and they can speak for you. You see, Gao Jin, the father of Hui Zhuer, is doing a good job in the Lianghuai Salt Administration. Let go of the governor of the river, the river is well managed, and now he is the governor of the two rivers, and he does not rely on his daughter to be a concubine to be promoted. Master Hui followed Zhanguang'er into the imperial concubine. You are the younger brother of the main palace, how much do you argue? He is also better than him! When I marry you, you say you are a beauty matching a hero, but in fact you are still a 'beauty matching an uncle'. Look at those dramas, does Uncle Guo have a good reputation?"

"Forget it, I didn't finish a sentence, and you have such a big article." Fu Heng smiled, "You seemed so crazy after meeting the emperor, and told me a big truth. If you really have a sister, you are lucky enough to become a queen, and you are not more moral than your sister? But it is true that if you have a good wife in your family, your husband will have fewer misfortunes. It is also thanks to your sister, otherwise, with the emperor's flirtatious temperament, I don't know how many jokes have been made!"

Tang'er is a person with a heart disease. He was startled when he heard this, and he calmed down before saying: "I don't believe what you said. I see that the emperor is very serious, and he treats people with seriousness and easy-going." Fu Heng smiled.Tell her about Qianlong and Jinxia, ​​and then said: "The emperor saw me a few days ago, and said that he dreamed that Jinxia came to sue her, and in the dream, the emperor told her to give birth quickly and return to the palace—you Look, Your Majesty is affectionate enough! Your Majesty went to Henan and fell in love with Wang Tingzhi from Xinyang. I am going to do business this time, and I have to play the role of a matchmaker!" Tang'er was stunned when she heard that, and she turned her face away for a long time Spit: "Aren't you also this type of person? There are three or four concubines in the family, and the emperor rewarded twelve opera singers. They spend all day in it, like Fang Qing. When they have played enough, they will give favors to others! Sooner or later, even I and you Will also give it away!"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, my wife! Fangqing married Cao Xueqin, didn't you just take advantage of your heart? Last time Xueqin sent two chapters of "Treasure of Wind and Moon", didn't you read it with great interest--beauty Marrying a talented person is a good thing!" Fu Heng didn't know Tang'er's thoughts, got up and stroked her hair, and said: "The old man is a famous minister in front of the holy grandfather, just look at it, the career I have done, He must be better than his old man, and he will never humiliate his ancestors. I actually hate myself for being an uncle of the country. If the job is done well, people will say that I have confidence; He's a coward, he suffers from both sides - if he doesn't work alone, if he doesn't make a big name, he's always a 'country uncle'. If there is no Bao Longtu to kill, what's the point of being an uncle for nothing?" After finishing speaking, he ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair .Tang'er hurriedly said: "Why are you in a hurry at this moment? It's getting dark, and it's not too late to go to the study tomorrow." Fu Heng changed his clothes and said: "Some things can only be said in private houses, and the ministries will return to you with the imperial decree." Meetings are needed, and the palace has to go around, so it's very busy. It's better to go tonight." Tang'er had to let him go, holding the bag of golden melon seeds, her heart was in a mess, and suddenly she was her husband , Sometimes it’s the queen, the queen mother, and sometimes it’s Qianlong... I can’t tell what it’s like.

When Fu Heng came to Zhang Tingyu's mansion, it was already dark.In front of the door hung two imperial palace lanterns, and four white gauze watermelon lanterns, which made the interior and exterior bright and bright.On the door couplet, the ten gold-plated characters bestowed by Yongzheng, "Emperor Enchun is mighty, Wenzhi Sunguanghua" are bright and dazzling.Six or seven officials from other provinces sat in the concierge's living room, drinking tea, smoking cigarettes, nibbling melon seeds and chatting, waiting for Zhang Tingyu to receive him.Seeing that it was him, the person at the door rushed forward to greet Qian'er, and said: "Our Zhongtang Lord is seeing a guest. Sixth Lord is different from other people, so I will take you in here."

"You'd better go in and report first," Fu Heng said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang has to be busy with other things, I'll come back at this time tomorrow." Before he could finish speaking, the leader ran in as if flying.It was the first time for Fu Heng to wait for an interview so solemnly. He was bored and wanted to go into the living room to chat with everyone, but he was really unfamiliar. Talking to Fu Heng, he went into the living room and gave a few officials a smile and said: "My lords, I'm really sorry, Mr. Zhang hasn't eaten since Chen Shi in the morning, and Mr. E and Mr. Liu haven't finished talking yet. , Here Fu Shiwei has an imperial envoy to visit. Zhang Xiang asked the villain to apologize to the adults first, and see you guys in front of our master tomorrow morning. If there is something important, the villain will go back and report , but it will be a little later. Zhang Xiang can't get out of his body at the moment, and we will apologize in person when we meet tomorrow." Several officials stood up and said again and again: "Please go to the Fu Zhongtang, and we will meet tomorrow." After talking, everyone resigned.

Fu Heng came in with the family, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to be so busy." The family led the way with a lamp in front of them, and said with a smile, "Master Neqin has now entered the military aircraft department, and our middle hall is much more relaxed now! My grandfather followed Zhongtang, and I have never seen him sleep for three hours a day!" Fu Heng couldn't help feeling secretly after hearing this, and followed the family in all kinds of ways, but it was still the study room where he had tea last time. There is a plaque with the four big characters of "Zizhi Bookstore" written on it.Fu Heng paused for a moment in the corridor, stepped into the hall, bowed, and said, "Heng Chen's hall is so busy!"

"The sixth master is here, please sit down." Zhang Tingyu was talking to two officials, stood up and smiled, "You are a serious relative of the state, you used to go straight in and out, why are you so polite today? - Oh, let me introduce you For a moment, this is E Shan——" Fu Heng laughed all of a sudden, and said, "I'm very familiar with you. Isn't he a servant in the Rites?" Pointing to another official, he said, "This is Liu Kang, Zhuo Yi, the Shandong Grain Reserve Road. The paper recommended by Yue Jun said that he is the 'No. ——This is Fu Heng, the second-class guard with a sword in the Qianqing Gate, and he has been released as an imperial envoy, and he is about to go out to Beijing for inspection." Liu Kang hurriedly bowed to Fu Heng, and said: "The sixth master has been to Shandong. A few times, I have met Xiaozhi in Li Zhitai's yamen. But the official is humble and the position is low, Liu Ye may not remember the humble position."

Fu Heng looked Liu Kang up and down, smiled reservedly, and said, "I still remember. You were originally the county magistrate of Xincheng, and later you were promoted to the magistrate of Dezhou. Didn't He Luying's case come from you?" Liu Kang was very displeased. Yuan talked about this topic, and hurriedly said: "Master Liu has such a good memory. We, Yue Zhongcheng, don't remember it so clearly! That year when Lord Liu released grain, he personally saw every bucket and liter. Shandong people still remember it when they talk about it. But There were also some subordinates who complained, saying that it seems that the sixth master is so serious in his work, what's the point of eating this bowl of official food?" He was neither humble nor overbearing, there were praises and "deprecations", and he was scratching at Fu Hengitch, flattering Fu Heng laughed loudly, and said: "When I go to release relief, I naturally want to relieve the victims. I don't care what the subordinates say; if they scold me, I'm afraid that God will bless me with a long life!"——Zhang Xiang, you guys And then said, I'm not in a hurry."

"Actually, I've finished talking about the most important things." Zhang Tingyu returned to his seat, sipping tea and said, "Miaojiang's land reform has been going on for seven years. I roughly calculated that the state used at least 2000 million taels of silver. Pension The silver taels of the families of the fallen soldiers have not been summarized yet. Since you are going to the Ministry of War, you should think more about military training. Before Zhang Zhao left his mission, he submitted a memorial. Thousands of our troops surrounded an earthen village, a Miao village. Only a few dozen people came out to fight, thousands of people ran away in fright, and their own people trampled their own people to death. I am a scholar, and I don’t know how to lead soldiers. One. No wonder the master was so angry that he overturned the imperial dining table. Eshan, when you go to the Ministry of War, you will be in charge of military training. Not only Gubeikou, but also the green battalions and banner battalions in all provinces. Secretary, you have to take a look when you are in office, and give more suggestions to the minister, if there is something that cannot be done by the ministry, write a report and submit it to the military aircraft department, and the brother will ask for an order."

E Shan and Liu Kang sat and listened, bowing and saying yes from time to time.Liu Kangdao: "The humble job has never done military affairs, but the military rations in the Shandong Banner Camp and the Green Camp are all allocated from my way, and the food is too much to eat. Just now Zhang Xiang said that the Southwest Military Pingmiao is only the first. Sooner or later, big and small Jinchuan will have to use troops. I want to go to the barracks in various places to see what is going on, and come back to discuss with Master E and the chief officer of our military department, and make a solid rectification report." Zhang Tingyu said with a smile: "These It's a good idea. But this is your ministry's business. I went back and asked your Shangshu Qingfu for instructions. He has his own regulations. Don't go to Li Wei. He is dying of illness. Let's talk about it when he recovers. " After saying that, they got up and said nothing, E Shan and Liu Kang bowed and resigned.Fu Heng said with a smile: "Zhongtang, are you busy enough to talk about each of them in detail? I often go to Ertai and Neqin's places. I'm not so busy. It seems a little trivial to do this kind of errand."
