Emperor Qianlong: the beginning of his glory

Chapter 31 A good moon does not share the imperial envoy's long sigh
Seeing Fu Heng's demeanor, Team Leader Jiang couldn't figure out what was going on. After thinking about it, he ordered someone to seal the yard, then turned around and left.After a while, an official walked in, stood in front of the eaves and asked Fu Heng: "Your husband wants to see me? What's your surname, Taifu?"

"Please talk in the room." Fu Heng said lightly, and gave up his hand, and then said to Piao Gao and others: "The matter is unclear, you guys go back to the room temporarily. I will talk to the county magistrate here."

Without saying a word, Piao Gao led Juanjuan and Yao Qin into the west chamber with a wave of his hand, and looked at Yao Qin while lighting the lights.Yao Qin looked through the window to see that there was no one outside, and said with a smile: "I didn't want to commit a crime at first. Sister Juan danced with a sword. I took time to watch the fun. I met old man Shi to seize the tenant. Several tenants refused to obey, and started fighting with Zhuang Ding , asked people to press them into the wet mud to pour mud soup. A group of women cried miserably. We are righteous people. I really can't understand it, so I secretly gave that bad old man a dart. I didn't want his life, who Knowing that the hit was a bit off, it happened to hit his throat..." Juanjuan said: "The Patriarch has an order not to embarrass the officials, how dare you disobey the order? If you miss it, who will believe you!"

"It's really a miss." Yao Qin said with a playful smile, "Why are you facing the government? Who took Pan Shijie's dart boat? The government is still arresting you now! I see Sister Juan, it's probably— —" He looked at Piao Gao's face, and didn't dare to say any more.Juanjuan didn't blame Yao Qin, but also took a look at Piao Gao.

Piao Gao's face was gloomy.As soon as Fu Heng left Beijing, the chief rudder ordered him to follow.Of course he knew Fu Heng's identity.Young, and a member of the royal family, it would be great if he could be drawn to defend the teaching.Just a little bit of clues, but was spoiled by this naughty apprentice, safety is a big deal right now.After thinking for a while, Piao Gao sighed heavily, and said: "You have caused a lot of trouble, what should you do if the chief rudder blames you? That old man Shi didn't kill the tenant, and you hurt his life, which is not in line with Zhengyang's canon. Why are you so reckless? ! Is he going to increase the rent?"

"There is a reason here," Yao Qin said, "This year, there is an imperial decree that money and food will be exempted all over the world. The tenants have to pay four or six rents to share the emperor's grace. It is a grace not to increase the rent now. There is still trouble with the tenants, so they have to find another breeder. For this, a few tenants reasoned, and a fight broke out, and seven or eight tables were overturned at the banquet. The county magistrate Liu The grandfather persuaded at both ends, and no one listened, so I let the surname Shi gossip and beat people..." To continue, Piao Gao waved his hand to stop him, and said darkly: "You don't want to say anything! I, Yun Yuanshen, listen! What are they talking about in the upper room!"

In the upper room, Fu Heng has revealed his identity to Liu Zhixian. "According to what you just said, there was a dispute between the landlord and the tenant. During the chaos, someone beat Shi Yingli to death. Since you said that the tenant did not beat him to death, why did you torture the tenant? It is very inappropriate. You came to disturb me for a reason, and I I don't blame you either. But as a parent, you condescend to come to eat such a banquet, you are helping Shi and Shi. Do you know?"

"Understanding." Liu Zhixian bowed respectfully, and said, "Actually, Shi Yingli and the tenant head here came to the county to invite the humble official. In Zhili province, Zhengding Prefecture is the most difficult to govern. Huolu is Zhengding Prefecture The most unruly county, every year the landlord and tenant are at odds, and people die. The landlord and tenant are always afraid at this time. Shi Yingli is the largest landlord in this county. Not only does he have land here, but there is another one in the north of the county. Suddenly, when I came here, I only wanted nothing to happen, and I didn't dare to take sides." Fu Heng smiled and said: "So, I have wronged you. It is really embarrassing for Mr. Shi to give up money and lose his life." It's a pity." Liu Zhixian said with a smile: "The rent collection on the [-]th is already higher, and the imperial decree exempts the tax. It should have been distributed to the tenants. Shi Yingli is a little greedy. It's clear that the landlord takes advantage of the reason and not the love. It is not reasonable for the tenants to take advantage of their feelings, and the imperial envoys are right."

Fu Heng got up and paced slowly, went to the door and looked at the bright moon in the sky, sighed for a long time, and said: "Although this month is good, there is nothing in the world!"

"My lord, you—"

"I mean, the emperor's grace is so great that it has not spread to the common people."

Fu Hengqi's long body moved in the shadow of the moon, and he said slowly: "The days of peace have been long, and the land has been consolidated. The land yield is getting higher and higher, and the land price is also rising. If you don't go out of the capital, you can read as many books as you want. It’s hard to know the economics here!” He turned his face and stared at the slightly flickering candlelight, as if admonishing and talking to himself: “[-]% of the rich occupy [-]% of the land, [-]% of the poor occupy only [-]% of the land. It is becoming a land, and it is getting worse. The general exemption of money and food, and only [-]% of the poor will get real benefits. This is a great thing. I will tell you Ming Sheng to find a way as soon as possible. It is not easy to be an official, and it is even more difficult to be a local official. You must remember, Annexation of land is a big hidden worry, because if it is annexed, the rich and the poor will be extreme, and the emperor's grace will not be spread, and accidents will easily occur." County magistrate Liu said with a smile: "Master imperial envoy, it is not a problem if there is no drought or flood." Fu Heng said: "How can there be such a good thing? The Jianshan Dam in Zhejiang Province collapsed last year, and the Yellow River collapsed in Gaojiayan this year. Isn't this both a disaster?" He paused, then suddenly changed the subject, and asked, "Do you know that the white lotus is here?" What about teaching missions?"

"Yes," County Magistrate Liu said, "not only here, but also in all counties of Zhili Province. Julu and Qinghe are the most numerous, and the names are different. There are Tianyijiao, Hunyuanjiao, and Wushenglaomu. Jiao, Zhengyang Jiao, Hongyang Jiao, Baiyang Jiao... I can't list them all in humble positions." Fu Heng seemed surprised when he heard "Zhengyang Jiao", and said, "I'm asking about the White Lotus Sect." County Magistrate Liu said with a smile: "My lord, how can anyone dare to blatantly say that they belong to the 'White Lotus Sect'? These large and small cults are all variants of the White Lotus Sect. .”

Fu Heng stared at the west chamber with gloomy eyes, and it became clear that the three of Piao Gao were indeed the remaining veins of the White Lotus Sect. Thinking of the velvet rope that would break if it was pulled, and the scene of Cai Juanjuan dancing the sword just now. Ghostly.He trembled in his heart—even Juanjuan was not sure whether she was a human or a ghost.Fu Heng bit his lower lip and said, "Magistrate Liu."

"I'm humble."

"The three people living in the west chamber are... missionaries of the cult."

"I don't know which teaching it is from?"

"Zhengyang Sect."

"..."

Fu Heng originally firmly believed that Yao Qin "had never left him an inch", but now he hesitated again, and said after a while: "They may not have killed Shi Yingli, but they are guilty of preaching, and they should be taken down." Liu Zhixian hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord analyzed it very well. Ming. I'll make arrangements for the humble job!" Fu Heng shook his head and said, "They are extremely capable, and people like you can't handle it at all."

"That……"

"You go back to order soldiers at night."

"twitter!"

"Hush! Bring some magical objects to suppress evil, prepare some excrement and sewage, in case they have black magic - I want to live."

"tie!"

When Liu Zhixian led the yamen servants to evacuate out of the store, Fu Heng called blind man Wu over, said what he had said just now, and asked, "Do you think you are their opponent? If it is not safe, we will leave the store now." Wu The blind man smiled and said: "I'm not going to suffer from them. It's true that they are good at kung fu. If you put the sword right in the battle, you need to dance the sword like that? Don't make a fuss, just do what you want. "

Fu Heng's nervous and excited heart calmed down a little, he stepped out of the room steadily, stood on the porch and laughed loudly: "Piao Gao Daoist—they are gone, please come here, we will still enjoy the moon with wine."

No one answered.

Fu Heng yelled again, but no one answered inside.Blind Wu knew that there had been a change in his feelings, and said, "You arrogant Taoist, you have such a big air!" He didn't come any closer, but kept a distance of three zhang, and pushed his hands out of thin air, and the door slammed open with a loud bang. .A gust of wind blew in, and the lamp on the window sill was almost blown out.Blind Wu rushed into the room with a stride, but he saw the dim blue light and the room was full of paper ashes, and he was already like a yellow crane!
"Let's go." Fu Heng looked into the room, frowned and said, "I didn't intend to hurt them, I just wanted to know what the foundation of Zhengyang Sect is... They come and go without a trace... Isn't it good to use the skills in the right place? "He picked up a piece of paper that was left after burning and looked at it carefully. It was the rice paper he used to write poems. He couldn't help but felt a sense of loss. If he lost something, he walked back to the upper room under the moonlight like water.

Once connected to Fu Heng's several memorials, they were all full of words. Qianlong was not in a hurry to add approval, but only replied: "Understood." It's not that Fu Heng's memorials are not important, but that they are too important. He has to think about it carefully. .Since Fu Heng went down, he has received reports repeatedly, floods in Anfu, Jiangxi, floods in [-] prefectures and counties in Suzhou, Anhui, floods in Xiaoxian County, Jiangsu, and [-] prefectures and counties in Wuxi. The Japanese imperial examination; unfortunately, the scholar Zhu Shi fell ill, and then the scholar Chen Yuanlong died of illness.Li Wei was completely bedridden and Ertai was also sick and asked to rest.Qianlong summoned the imperial physician to check the pulse record every day and inquire about the condition; he distributed the seasonal fruits tribute from various places to these veterans; sometimes he even visited the sick bed in person.

Within one month, four or five senior officials of the Xi Dynasty fell ill one after another, and Qianlong couldn't help feeling a little flustered, always feeling that the omens were bad, as if something was going to happen.The Neqin around him has not been in the center for a long time, and he is still not very good at managing politics and the army. Zhang Tingyu is also a person in his [-]s.Qianlong was afraid that the two ministers were also exhausted.After October, they were given two houses outside Xihuamen, and Zhang Tingyu was authorized to handle the memorial in the prime minister's mansion, so as to save the two of them from traveling back and forth, and secondly, they could be summoned at any time for urgent matters.After such a resettlement, Qianlong felt more at ease.Unexpectedly, as soon as he stabilized, the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial College reported at the same time: Yang Mingshi suffered from storm disease!Qianlong immediately ordered Gao Wuyong to ask Naqin to come over.

"master……"

Neqin came in for a while, because he saw that Qianlong didn't raise his head and was only thinking about things, he knelt aside and didn't dare to disturb him. Later, when Qianlong turned around and saw himself, he kowtowed and said: "The servant is here. Today I will follow Lu Zhuo's report, Zhejiang The Jianshan Dam has been closed, and the flood has blocked it. Lu Zhuo himself got sick from being soaked in the water."

"Is Lu Zhuo seriously ill?"

"No problem. He just suffered from a bit of wind and cold, and his headache is unbearable. He is afraid that the master will miss the autumn floods, so he has to ask someone to write for him." Qianlong took a heavy breath and said, "I have scared the patients these days. What's wrong with this? Death after death? You go to the study room to be considerate of those who work!"
