[Qing Chuan] Mu Emperor's Grace

At noon the next day, Hailancha went to see He Shen again, and met Liu Quan in the yard. Hailancha asked with concern, "Is your lord okay?"

Liu Quan sighed and said: "The doctor came to look at it and said that there is no injury to the bones. But when did my grandfather suffer like this, the clothes and sweat towels were full of blood, and the wound was swollen. Tell me, this emperor is too cruel..."

Before he finished speaking, a cold voice came from the room: "Liu Quan!"

Liu Quan came to his senses, and slapped himself: "Look at my mouth, don't mind, please stay in the room."

Hai Lancha entered the room and saw He Shen lying on the bed with a thin quilt covering his back, reading a book in his hands, and didn't turn his head when he heard the footsteps, and said with a smile: "It seems that the first-class guard is an idle job. , you are free to come to my place during the day." Hailancha has been named the first-class bodyguard because of his meritorious service in the Burmese conquest.

Hai Lancha wondered, "How did you guess it was me?"

He Shen closed the scripture book in his hand, and the smile on his face deepened: "I am now a person who is rejected by the emperor. I am the only one who has no eyesight, and you come to me all day long. People can't hide from me, so why would you take the initiative to come to the door?"

Hai Lancha glanced at him, and said loudly: "Who said the emperor..." Just as the words came out, they stopped.

This time it was He Shen's turn to be curious: "What's wrong with the emperor?"

Hai Lancha is an honest person, he smiled stiffly, and said hesitantly: "No, it's nothing, you still have the energy to read, it seems that the injury is not serious."

He Shen smirked and waved his hands: "Don't make fun of me, brother. You have been fighting all year round, and Jinchuang Medicine is definitely no stranger to you. This is the first time I know that when it is wiped on, it will burn and hurt, just like the regeneration of carrion , It can kill half a person's life."

Hai Lancha rubbed the back of his head and said with a naive smile: "We are all vulgar people. Usually, white knives go in and red knives go out. If the intestines fall out, you can rub them back. You have to endure the application of medicine. Just rub the bruise away and it will be fine."

Hai Lancha stayed in the house for a cup of tea, then got up and said, "Heal your wounds, I will come to see you when I am free some other day."

At the same time, Ah Gui was looking at a booklet in the Hall of Mental Cultivation anxiously: "Your Majesty...this..."

Hongli stroked the jade wrench finger in his hand, supported his forehead and said: "It will be Lafayette's birthday in a few days. I want to build a Ten Thousand Buddha Building for her old man. The decree will be issued to the localities, and all provinces will donate money. This is Take a good look at the amount of donated silver submitted by the household department."

Agui looked at the column of Fu Lehun, governor of Zhejiang, and there was 20 taels written in black and white.

"Fu Ming'an, who was born in a Manchu nobleman, was promoted to the governor of Shandong just a few years ago, and donated 8 taels of silver. Fu Lehun, who was also born in a Manchurian nobleman, was the governor of Zhejiang's political envoy and donated 20 taels of silver. Agui, you His family is really very generous, and he sold 20 taels of snowflake silver, and the silver donated by him alone is enough to make two statues of the Buddha of Immortality in that building."

Agui heard the anger in Hongli's words, knelt down hastily, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor said so, it really makes the servant feel ashamed. Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich and prosperous places, and the tax revenue accounts for a large part of it every year. Fulehun It is reasonable to donate a lot.”

"Heh... the tax amount? I have decreed that this year's money and food will be exempted. Where did the tax amount come from?"

"This..." Ah Gui fell silent.

Hongli sighed softly: "Ah Gui, I know you are honest and upright, but Zhang Jia's descendants may not be. If it is not for the fact that Fu Lehun is your grandson, it is because of his "filial piety" , I will send people to Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a thorough investigation.

Hearing this, Agui knelt down and kowtowed to Hongli: "I'm going to die, I invite you to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I'm bound to find out the whole story of the 20 taels."

Hongli waved his hand: "No, the 20 taels are his filial piety to Lafayette. The local trickery is definitely not just a problem in Shandong. At this time, a thorough investigation will not only make the teacher come out of nowhere, but also startle the snake. You go back and beat Hit him to wake him up."

While the two were talking, Wu Shulai quietly entered the hall and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Hai Lancha asks to see you."

While helping Agui up, Hongli ordered: "Let him in."

Hai Lancha saluted, glanced at Agui who was sitting beside her, and hesitated to speak.

"Tell me, you don't have to shy away from Ah Gui."

Hai Lancha thought for a while, and truthfully recounted what He Shen had done since he went to Yunnan, and what He Shen said while leaning on his back yesterday.

"It's a bitter trick... It's hard for him to be cruel to himself." Hongli sneered, then turned to ask Agui: "Agui, what do you think He Shen thinks? I have a vast empire, and no foreigner would dare This time, Mingrui frustrated the arrogance of the Burmese state. He actually said that the battle would be useless. I accepted his proposal and negotiated peace with the Burmese state. talk."

Ah Gui thought for a moment, then hesitated, "He Shen, is that the new imperial examination student who went to Yunnan?"

Hongli nodded, and then heard Agui say: "The slave has read the answer sheet of this person's meeting, and the article he wrote is really shocking. The view of equality of the four political parties in the article is exactly the same as what he said."

"Able to test articles? Speaking of which, he will try to get the last three hundred. Could it be because of this "four political equality"?

Ah Gui nodded and smiled, "Exactly."

"I'll give you an order to submit the answer sheet of Heshen's meeting for imperial review. I'd like to see if he can say anything outrageous."

Listening to Hongli's decree, Agui thought to herself: There are rumors in the court that He Shen's rude words have offended Hongli and have been rejected by the emperor.But looking at this posture now, there is no disgust, it is clearly the holy family.

After Agui stepped back, Hongli glanced at Hai Lancha, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you been to see him? How are you doing now?"

"The slave doesn't seem to be in any serious trouble, and he can still lie on the bed and read a book. It's just that it hurts too much to apply medicine to the wound, and every time it's like being executed."

Seeing that Hongli was stunned for a moment, Hai Lancha turned around and took a white jade jar placed on the desk, and handed it to Hai Lancha: "Give this ointment to He Shen, and say it is a good medicine you got in the army. "

When Liu Quan entered the room with the ointment, it was time to change the ointment.He Shen bit the quilt like facing an enemy, waiting for the severe pain to come.However, the expected pain did not appear, the wound was cool, and even the burning sensation on the skin disappeared.

He Shen opened his eyes suspiciously, saw the pot in Liu Quan's hand, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where did this ointment... come from?"

"Master Hai gave it to him, saying it is a miraculous medicine in the army, and it smells very pleasant."

He Shen took the pot from Liu Quan, put it under his nose and sniffed it, his eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at it carefully for a long time, then smiled clearly: "My lord, I am blessed today. medicine."

"For...for the imperial use? But Master Hai didn't say..." Liu Quan asked stutteringly.

"Yihai Lancha's temperament, if this medicine really came from the army, he would have brought it with me when he came to see me this morning, so why wait until this time?" He Shen pointed to the white jade pot and said, "This is the medicine from the Shang Dynasty." Good suet jade, how can such an object be used to hold medicine in the military camp?"

Seeing Liu Quan's dazed expression, He Shen smiled and stopped talking.And the most important point, he didn't tell Liu Quan to listen to it, the pot has the aroma of agarwood.In the Qing Dynasty, agarwood was a tribute, and only the emperor was eligible to use it.This cup of ointment must belong to Da Nei.

After listening to He Shen's words, Liu Quan was agitated again, and said excitedly to He Shen, "Master, since the emperor gave this medicine, does it mean that you are going to be promoted?"

He Shen raised the corners of his lips: "Just wait, the emperor will always be useful to me."

As Heshen expected, when he was able to get out of bed and walk, the emperor announced his intention to enter the palace.

Liu Quan packed the sedan chair for him, helped He Shen to sit in the sedan chair, and the porters carried him to the palace gate.Even if it is a soft sedan, it still bumps badly.He Shen sat for a while, a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.

When He Shen walked slowly into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Hongli was reading something intently.The eunuch's notification brought Hongli back to his senses, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the man who always disturbed his dreams.

I haven't seen him for a few days, and he is a little thinner than when he was triumphant, and his face is morbidly pale.Hongli's heart twitched suddenly, as if being pricked by a tiny needle.

This is the first time the emperor and ministers have met after the Meridian Gate Court Rod.Seeing that his footsteps were flimsy and he was about to lose his standing, Hongli just said, "Sit down."

He Shen moved his feet, but still stood bowed, with a forced smile on his face: "Slave, let's stand."

"Sit down, I don't want to say the same thing a second time." Hongli turned cold, and stopped looking at He Shen's expression.

He Shen had no choice but to carefully touch the soft slab, and only after sitting down did he find that there was a thick cushion under the bright yellow slab.

Hongli pretended to focus on the document in his hand, and from the corner of his eyes, He Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, which was fleeting.

"Do you know what I'm looking at?" Hongli asked suddenly.

He Shen looked at the document in Hongli's hand, and shook his head for a while: "I don't know."

"I'm watching, you know the answer sheet." Hongli pushed Wen Zhe in front of He Shen, and said with a playful smile: "The four governments are equal, there is no distinction between the fundamental and the last. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really don't know. You have such an idea."

A flash of surprise flashed in He Shen's eyes. He looked at the document, and there was Hongli's Zhu Zhu between the lines, and looked up at the emperor in front of him in puzzlement.

"Take the province of Yunnan, and tell me the reason why the four governments are equal. If you can convince me, I will nominate you as a new scholar."

He Shen pondered for a while and said, "The emperor knows that Yunnan has the reputation of being like spring all year round, and rice and wheat are often harvested twice a year. The Yunnan tribute rice used by the emperor is the best food. But the mountainous areas of Yunnan are also It is an indisputable fact that the red soil in some areas is not conducive to the growth of crops. The local people choose to plant tea trees. Many teas are very popular with people from foreign countries on the border. If the emperor prohibits border trade, it will be tantamount to ruining the livelihood of the people. , so the border troubles continue."

Seeing that Hongli was thoughtful, He Shen continued: "As for Gongzheng, Yunnan is rich in minerals, if they can be properly excavated..."

"It's ridiculous! Mineral deposits are stored in the ground, where the dragon's veins are located, how can you dig them wantonly!" Hongli's angry shout made He Shen startled, and then fell silent.

After all, he is still a modern person at heart, and on a whim, he forgot that the theory of geomantic omen and earth veins is the reverse scale of the king.

Seeing that Heshen remained silent, Hongli just looked down at the ground, softened his heart again, and said in a gentle voice, "I agree to build the commercial road in southern Yunnan. But there is one thing, if there is another war on the Yunnan-Guizhou border within five years, I will only you It's asking."

He Shen's eyes widened for a moment, the errand that he thought he would spend a long time on, turned out to be like this, which gave him an unreal feeling.

Hongli laughed and said, "Why, I am an unreasonable and stupid king in your eyes? I even used bitter tricks. Sometimes I really want to knock your head open to see where so many shocking ideas come from. "

He Shen also smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is wise, this slave is reckless."

Hongli looked at the faint smile, and suddenly said: "He Shen, I don't need a second Qian Feng, risking his life to admonish such a thing, one time is enough, and the next one is not an example."

Looking at the emperor's handsome face, He Shen unconsciously fell into that focused gaze, and murmured, "I'm not an example."
