Emperor Qianlong: the beginning of his glory

Chapter 66 Nostalgic Love
"Don't say that!" Fu Heng's face turned blood red, "I can let you go, I can meet the Holy Spirit and ask him to forgive your sins! I have great power and influence. You are not the first offender. It's not the main culprit—there's always a solution!" Juanjuan closed her eyes, and two lines of tears rolled down her eyes. "Emperor Qianlong couldn't forgive my sins... I saw you from the night you came to Mafang, several times a night... Later that blind man Wu came, and I didn't come again."

Fu Heng opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"I could have killed you easily. In fact, when you were asleep, I had already raised the dagger several times..." Juanjuan said, "But I couldn't do it." She looked in the direction of Ehutan and said in a low voice, " At least I was able to save Piao Gao, but I didn't. Although he had evil thoughts about me when I grew up, he was the one who saved me back then. Can Qianlong forget the sins in my heart?"

Fu Heng was stunned by her words, and walked slowly through the peach forest.In fact, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, all those who conspired against the rebels, regardless of the first offender or the accomplices, were all executed in a timely manner.He is not sure whether Qianlong can extend grace outside the law.He turned around and glanced at Juanjuan, sighed silently, and said, "I won't take you to Beijing. I have a property in Jinling, and even my wife doesn't know about it. It was prepared to confiscate the house to save the future. You go to hide for a while. Let's talk after the limelight." After finishing speaking, he took out a golden body Buddha from his waist and handed it over, "Unscrew the bottom of the Buddha's seat, and there is my small seal inside. With this, let the guards look at it, and they will serve you .”

Juanjuan squeezed the small seal from Fu Heng's palm.For some reason, her fingers trembled a little.She played with this small seal, looked at the mountains in the distance, and said to herself: "...Do you know why I went up the mountain? I specifically asked you to kill me to fulfill you...Although you look at me like that, why do you want me to go up the mountain?" I write poems... I don't know you really love me. There is no love in this world. People look at me beautifully to possess me, and they talk sweetly to plot against me! Whether it is in the world or in the mountains. This world is ice and snow, so cold Ah..." Fu Heng burst into tears, and said, "Why are you like this! Don't you still have me! Aren't we discussing a way out!" Juanjuan shook her head miserably, "It's too late, it's too late... in Huolu , God didn't give me a chance to talk like this, then maybe everything will not be like this... But I'm still happy, finally someone really... loves me..." Her face became paler and paler, as if she was struggling to walk , as soft as stepping on a pile of cotton.She suddenly smiled, raised the bodyguard Buddha, and said: "You gave this to me, and I took it..." Her mouth was full, and she swallowed it forcefully!

"Juanjuan!"

Fu Heng rushed over, hugged her shoulders with both hands, shaking and calling: "You can't, why are you doing this? There is always a way! You are an ignorant idiot..." He hugged her Juanjuan, whose breath was getting weaker and weaker, was half lying on the ground, screaming hoarsely, beating the soft ground fiercely with one hand.

"I took the medicine before going up the mountain, and it started slowly..." Juanjuan breathed weakly, as if gathering her last strength.She spent most of her life in misery and lovelessness, and felt that it was a kind of happiness to die in the arms of the only man who gave her any real affection.Therefore, she held Fu Heng's arms tightly with both hands, her eyes were begging for something, and her lips were moving...Fu Heng held her in his arms, feeling extremely painful in her heart. He loved Tang'er, but Tang'er never gave her back. With his eyes, there are many beautiful girls in his family, and they all want to be loved by him. Although he has treated them tenderly and made physical sacrifices, but the matter is over and he doesn't care about it; it is a gift of Xueqin's fragrance Qing, who is cold to himself, smiles and frowns from time to time, he feels it is a kind of satisfaction and enjoyment-at this moment, he suddenly feels that he is hateful and a very bad person.With tears in his eyes, he looked at Juanjuan who had her eyes closed and said nothing, then lowered his head and kissed her deeply...

A gust of wind came, and the peach blossoms fell on them petal by petal.

It wasn't until Juanjuan was breathless that Fu Heng let her go slowly, walked around her slowly, took a handful of flower petals and sprinkled them on her body, muttered a few prayers, and then turned back, but in the second At the door, I met blind Wu and Li Shiyao.

"grown ups……"

Both men bent down and bowed to him, but said nothing.As Fu Heng walked out, he said, "Shiyao, after the incident, transport her to my residence in Beijing. The girls who followed her up the mountain are treated as rebels, and they will do as long as they are willing to follow me."

"Yes, humble office remembers."

"Did Piao Gao catch it?"

"Today when he was ugly, he fled to Heishuiyu, fell into an ambush by me, and was captured by Fang Jin. However, Fan Gaojie said he was the one who captured it. Both of them fought for credit, so they don't remember the credit for the time being."

Fu Heng nodded, and said: "Piao Gao is nailed to the car with a sill, and escorted to Taiyuan with the army!"

Fu Heng lived in the county government of Linxian County and spent six days in the army in Linxian County. He selected 500 people from Li Shiyao's militia to fill his middle camp.In his memorial, he detailed the history of the Tuotuo Peak victory, and said that he wanted to teach his master to go straight to the gangsters on Zijing Mountain to clarify the whole province of Shanxi.After finishing writing, he ordered someone to call Li Shiyao to read the scriptures.Blind Cha Wu entered the signing room, waved and smiled and said, "Come here! I'm going to call you! Are you from the arrest department of the Ministry of Criminal Justice? Ask what's going on, otherwise there's no way to write the scriptures."

"Sixth Master," blind man Wu said with a bow and a smile, "this is the official seal issued by Youjie when he was the governor. Taking the title of arresting officer as Zhengtang has made him uncivilized and incompetent. He doesn't really manage the arresting camp, nor does he care about the actual affairs of the arresting department." Fu Heng said: "Li Wei is good at everything, but this one of doing whatever he wants is a headache. Now Taking advantage of the opportunity to protect the meritorious personnel, I want to rectify your name, do you want to be a military officer or a civil servant?" Before Wu Xiazi answered, Li Shiyao had already entered, and Fu Heng asked: "You have been to Fan Gaojie's army, Hu Zhenbiao's injury What's the matter, Fan and Fang are still competing for merit?" After saying that, he pushed Zhezi over, "Here, take a look."

Li Shiyao seemed to be in a bad mood. He took the booklet and casually flipped it over and put it on the table. The memorial written on Zhang Guangsi's behalf. It is said in it that Liu Ye was well dispatched in the middle and personally led the elite soldiers to block the back road of Piao Gao who fled back to Tuo Tuo Peak. They, "soldiers for hundreds of miles, determined to kill the enemy, met Don't be arrogant in victory, don't be discouraged even in setbacks, capture Piao Gao's bandit leader alive and present it to the emperor!' In this way, we can't even take credit for our little finger. Alas! It's so meaningless!"

"Shameless!" Fu Heng thumped the table hard, stood up immediately, turned around and told blind man Wu: "Go and tell Fan Gaojie to come see me!"

"tie!"

"slow!"

Li Shiyao waved his hand and said, "My lord, think about it calmly: what faults can you find out if someone drafts a book for the commander in chief. Behind Zhang Guangsi is Prince Zhuang, you can't afford to offend him. You can't compare with the prelude, book by book. You call people in for a lesson like this, and you don't care about anything. They are all veterans, fighting for skills; We are fighting for credit. So we must discuss it before doing it. Do it neatly!" Wu Xiazi thought that this matter was not worth arguing, but after hearing Li Shiyao's words, he realized that it was not that simple, so he smiled and said: "Sixth Master, I Change to a civil servant. I can't be a military officer."

"This matter cannot be compromised, nor can it be softened." Fu Heng stood up and paced the ground slowly, "There are memorials to prove the transfer of troops from Taiyuan. The emperor knows it well. Zhang Guangsi is an imperial envoy who specializes in military affairs. The inappropriate promotion will delay the military plan." He must be responsible for the defeat of Baishigou! I will hurry up with six hundred miles, and send it to the imperial court together with this statement of meritorious service. I will impeach him first, and suppress his domineering momentum!" His eyes With burning light, he looked out of the window contemptuously, and said: "Baishigou lost more than two thousand troops, it was Fan Gaojie's inappropriate command. After the defeat, the whole army fled to Ehutan, and two hours later, they would all be fish and turtles." .Fan Gaojie, I invite the Emperor Sword to kill him!"

He has always been gentle and refined, even Li Shiyao thought he was just a romantic talent.Seeing the fierce light in his eyes at this time, he realized that this person's success was not all directed at the internal support of Empress Fucha.Li Shiyao thought for a while, then said with a smile: "It's foolish to think that Zhongtang's impeachment of Zhang Guangsi is justified, and he can do it. But this crime cannot be used to deal with Fan Gaojie." Seeing that Fu Heng listened attentively, he increased his courage, and said: "You are the imperial envoy of the emperor. Yantuofeng, you are the commander. No matter how domineering Zhang Guangsi is, he is not in front of the enemy after all. We won the battle, and we can't say too much about the defeat. Especially since he escaped to defend Ehutan, you have already arrived at Mafang. We also need to be on the guard against someone who will beat us back. We won the battle, so why should others suffer it? Fan Gaojie's defeat at Baishigou was all due to his arrogance and talent, and he went deep alone without asking for instructions. He cannot shirk the responsibility for this. In the army, he excluded dissidents, was jealous of his merits, refused to advise and cover up his faults, and refused to save himself..." He briefly described the military disputes, personal prejudices, and Baishigou among Fan, Hu, and Fang. , and said, "I heard this from Fan Gaojie's Goshha in Ehutan. Taking this as a crime, not only will there be fewer people offended up, down, left, and right, but if Zhang Guangsi eats a fly, even the emperor will look good. Zhongtang you How about it?"

"Come on!" Fu Heng called out.Immediately come in a Ghoshha.Fu Heng smiled and said, "Go to Dongguan right now and pass on my order to order Fan Gaojie and Fang Jin to come here immediately to discuss the matter of attacking Zijing Mountain. If Hu Zhenbiao's injury improves, he will also be called."

"tie!"

After Geshha went out, blind Wu murmured, "Zijing Mountain is more than 700 miles away from here. If you really want to raise an army, you must quickly inform Kaer Zhongcheng to allocate food and grass. However, as far as I know, the bandits in Zijing Mountain are not Bailian. In the orthodox sect, most of the people who are suffering from hunger and cold are forced to go to the mountain to become bandits. The leaders there are all from the Qing Gang Baijihui. If you can distribute food and at the same time ask the Qing Gang to come forward to persuade them to go down the mountain, it is also a method, and you don’t have to fight.”

"You mean Zhao An?" Fu Heng asked.

"Recruiting security is the best strategy!" Li Shiyao said, "This time Piao Gao asked them to come out to help, but they didn't come, which proves that they are not in the same group. The prime minister can write a letter to explain the court's good life, caressing intentions, and a sense of burden." The lessons learned from the overthrow of the Tuofeng bandit’s lair, coupled with the persuasion of Wu Xiazi’s friends in Jianghu, I think it is possible to take down Zijing Mountain without bloodshed. Now that the army is going to suppress them, it scares them away. Afterwards, we will leave. It’s still the same as it was before. Besides, Jin Province didn’t report this case in the first place, and you made such a fuss, and you got along well with Ka’er Zhongcheng, but you still have to stay in Taiyuan for a while, and it’s inconvenient for you to have a falling out.”

Fu Heng felt reasonable after hearing this, and was about to plan carefully, when he saw Geshha leading Fan Gaojie and Fang Jin into the courtyard one after the other, he suppressed his smile and winked, Li Shiyao and Wu Xiazi both retreated behind .After the two attended the ceremony, Fu Hengfang smiled and said, "Fan Gaojie, you did a great job in the camp."

"It's not a big deal," Fan Gaojie bowed to the side and said with an apologetic smile, "Some wounds need to be treated, the serious ones are sent to Taiyuan, and the minor ones are treated on the spot, and some medicinal materials need to be collected; the list of dead soldiers must be reported to us as soon as possible Zhang Junmen, so that we can allocate funds to support the family members..."

"Report to Zhang Guangsi?" Fu Heng snorted, stood up and looked at Fan Gaojie closely, "The imperial court has an order, and the Jin army is under my command. Now that the mission is over, it should be reported to me. Why should you report to Zhang Guangsi? You are him Hearing his bad tone, Fan Gaojie quickly rolled his eyelids a few times, and said: "In recent years, many of Zhang Junmen's subordinates have been seconded to conquer and suppress, and they all returned to the old camp after their errands. The military record stipulates this system..." Fu Heng hummed, and said: "I heard that you also drafted a letter of merit for Zhang Guangsi, can you read it?"

Fan Gaojie stared at Fang Jin, and asked, "You have already informed the imperial envoy?" "Why, he can't report to me?" Fu Heng was already so angry that his hands and feet were cold when he heard the truth, he slapped the table and shouted: "You are so shameless!" There is no constitution in the land, you dare to play this kind of hypocrisy and pretend to be guilty—you jealous thief, just like Zhang Shigui—come here!” Several Goshhas guarded outside the door, hurriedly entered, and replied :"exist!"

"Take off his crown and take off his official uniform!"

"tie!"

The guards pounced on them viciously, slammed their hands and feet, stripped off Fan Gaojie's clothes, kicked at the hollows of his hind legs, and Fan Gaojie fell to his knees with a "plop".Fu Heng took out the folded manuscript from his sleeve.Flipping it on the table, Ge Ge said with a smile: "Originally, your eyes were like lightning, and you were as faint as a candle: your camp was trapped in the evil tiger beach, and I personally led the people who dared to die to rescue you in a surprise attack, but now it is your face." When I marched, I was the teacher to support it. You took the credit and took it from me! Besides you, Hu Zhenbiao rescued you, but you refused to save Hu Zhenbiao; , if it wasn't for Fang Jin's death, would you have escaped to Ehutan? You think in your heart, I'm a weak scholar, easy to deceive, how can you know that a scholar is even more unambiguous in killing people!" He waved his hands, with a look of disdain, "Drag him out, cut off his head under the banner outside the Yamen, and announce it to the whole army!"

"Fu Zhongtang—Fu Liuye, these are all orders from Zhang Junmen...I'm not human, I'm not sensible..." Fan Gaojie was dragged by several sergeants, and screamed in a strange voice, "I caught Piao Gao..."

"Kill him!" Fu Heng grinned, and the other party said vigorously: "I request that you be transferred to the Ministry of War. The team here will be led by you, and work together with Hu Zhenbiao. Take care of me!"
