[Qing Chuan] Mu Emperor's Grace

He Shen bowed his head and replied: "If you return to the emperor, this poem was not written by the students."

"What evidence do you have?" Hongli asked with a serious face.

"Please look, Your Majesty, the handwriting on this paper is wrong. Apart from learning from Zhao Mengfu, the students also learned from Dong Qichang. But the writing on this paper only has Zhao Gu, but no Dong Jin."

After hearing this, Hongli sneered: "He Shen, He Shen, you belong to Zhao Mengfu and Dong Qichang, why don't you be more straightforward and say that you are imitating my words."

"He Shen dare not." He Shen moved his numb legs, but was hit on the head by a stack of manuscript papers.

"Don't dare? This is your homework. Look at the words on it. If it is replaced by Zhu Pi, few people will doubt it if it is an imperial pen."

He Shenfu knelt down on the ground, and replied loudly: "The emperor's characters are vigorous and full, and they are completed in one go. The students have admired them for a long time..."

Before he finished speaking, a cup full of tea flew towards him.He Shen tilted his head to hide, and the teacup shattered into several pieces on the ground behind him.

"Speculation is slippery, flattery, if you put this mind on the right way, how could you..." Hongli suddenly stopped, realizing that he had slipped his mouth, and hurriedly looked at He Shen's expression.

He Shen seemed to be frightened, his face was terribly pale, his hands and feet felt cold, and he was puzzled and anxious: According to historical records, the reason why He Shen was appreciated by Qianlong had a lot to do with his handwriting that resembled Qianlong.This overjoyed emperor has always been open to flattery, what happened today?

Hongli saw He Shen lowered his head and looked panic-stricken, he couldn't bear it for a moment, and softened his tone and said: "You didn't write this poem, so do you know who wrote it? What do you want?"

He Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a gentle voice: "Return to the emperor, this poem was passed on to the students today. The author of it is not clear to the students, but the students think that this poem has another meaning."

Hongli examined him for a while, then said, "Tell me."

He Shen recalled the poems and essays, and replied calmly: "Students think that this 'thousands of people sitting on the stone' refers to the thousands of students in this official school; this 'half clear and half bright' refers to the students among them. In the future, the official will be upright and honest, and he will be honest and discerning. As for the "two dynasties and one courtier", it refers to the elders of the two dynasties of our Qing Dynasty, Liu Tongxun, who is loved by the people. The meaning of this poem is to send a message to Wu Jiaoxi, I hope he can train more talents like Mr. Liu in the future."

While He Shen was answering, his mind was spinning quickly, and he searched his guts to find a veteran of the two dynasties from among the famous officials of the Qing Dynasty.It is hard to say that a piece of poetry that satirizes the teaching and hides the heart of disobedience is a word of praise.

After saying this, the room was silent again.Hongli didn't speak, picked up the freshly brewed tea on the table, and took a sip leisurely.But when everyone relaxed their vigilance, he suddenly put the teacup heavily on the table, and a muffled sound showed his anger: "Liu Tongxun? What a eloquent tongue, what kind of person is Wu Shenglan who can teach Liu Tongxun, at most he can teach He Shen. What kind of official are you, He Shen? You are upright and honest, and you can see clearly. Which word can you do?"

He Shen knelt on the ground and listened to Hongli's question. He was silent for a while before replying: "The student wants to be a capable minister."

Hongli swallowed the reprimand again, and the posture of He Shen kneeling on the ground coincided with the figure in his memory.

He Shen in memory is indeed a capable minister.

In terms of fortitude, he is not as good as Ah Gui; in terms of straightforwardness, he is not as good as Qian Feng; in terms of integrity, he is not as good as Liu Yong; in terms of literary excellence, he is not as good as Ji Yun.

But Hongli knows better than anyone else that he cannot do without He Shen.

He Shen is like a treasure bag.What he wants, He Shen will do it for him even if he goes up the mountain of swords and goes down into the sea of ​​fire.

If you want money for the southern tour, He Shen will raise it; if you want money for a war, He Shen will raise it;He likes to watch He Shen try his best to please him, and try his best to deal with officials.He can't tell others about those private things, only He Shen can act as a qualified listener.

In front of the queen mother, he must be a good son; in front of the concubine, he must be a good husband; The scruples of the happy emperor.

Gradually, he found himself relying more and more on He Shen.As long as I can stay with him, I feel at ease and happy.He didn't know what this emotion was, but he was willing to tie He Shen by his side.From the former imperial minister to the head of the House of Internal Affairs, he promised Heshen high-ranking officials a generous salary, the power envied by the world.No one knows his daily life, his daily travel, his temper and mood better than He Shen.

His queen, Ulanara, said: "Heshen considers everything for the emperor. The courtiers know that the emperor values ​​him, but no matter how important he is, they can't go beyond the boundary between the emperor and his ministers."

The young and energetic emperor smiled and replied: "He Shen can understand what I think in my heart. What I can't think of, He Shen has thought of it for me. If one day, the queen can do this, I will naturally I will look at the queen more."

It was this sentence that made Ulanara's hair twisted in anger.Hongli ordered people to confiscate her gold seal and gold book, leaving only a false name as the mother of a country.

Concubine Dun Wang, the biological mother of the ten princesses.When he learned that he was going to give his daughter a marriage with Fengshen Yinde, he said bitterly: "The emperor has such thoughts about He, why bother to let Shi Ge'er come as a sacrifice." The next day Wang was demoted to be a concubine.

Even the empress and concubine could see the affection, how could a person as exquisite as He Shen not know it.However, he didn't point it out. He just found all kinds of Yingying and Yanyan for the emperor during his southern tour; when the Western envoys visited, he presented him with blonde women.In this way, He Shen reminded him again and again that there was a great defense between them.

He tried his best to pamper Heshen, just because he believed that Heshen would never deceive him, let him down, or betray him.Under He Shen's persuasion, he sat on the seat of the Supreme Emperor.He continued to hold the power firmly in his own hands, but he did not expect to attract the new emperor Jiaqing's jealousy towards He Shen.

Every night when Hongli closed his eyes, Heshen's cry before his death would echo in his ears: "Your Majesty, you just left like this. What do you want your servant to do?"

After his death, his soul wandered with Heshen for a long time, watching Heshen extortionate in Chongwenmen; watching Heshen accepting bribes from officials;Hongli only felt that his heart was getting colder and colder. Being in a high position all the year round made him not easy to give his feelings, but once he gave it, he was like a scourge, out of control.

In the end, his good son Emperor Jiaqing finally accumulated enough strength to capture He Shen in one fell swoop.In just a few days, He Shen was stripped of his job, ransacked his home, and sent to prison.He looked at the people he indulged in every possible way in the past, knelt down in front of the new emperor in tears, and cried sadly: "I still have a wife and children at home, I beg the emperor to spare my life. I am willing to work for the emperor. Let the emperor dictate."

At that time, Hongli, who became a wisp of ghost, smiled wryly: So as long as you are the emperor, you are willing to stand on his shoulders; as long as you can keep your glory and wealth, you can cry bitterly in front of anyone; it turns out that I have never been in your heart Neither one in particular. "

When Hongli watched He Shen being paraded through the streets, the applauded people along the way threw rotten eggs on He Shen desperately.The stinky egg liquid slowly slid down that haggard handsome face, and Hongli suddenly felt that he was wrong.

"If time could be turned back, I would never indulge him again, would not let him fall into such a situation, and would not...be more affectionate..." Hongli's lonely soul looked at the plaque in the prison and murmured.

After saying this, he lost consciousness.I thought I had fallen into the path of reincarnation, but when I opened my eyes, I went back to the 20th year of Qianlong, and He Shen had not yet entered the court as an official.

History really did repeat itself.

This memory of Hongli put He Shen aside.He Shen fell on the ground, and the emperor's silence made the time extremely difficult.

"Nengchen, what a capable minister." Hongli came back to his senses and said, "Remember what you said today. Wu Shenglan, He Shen saved your life. If it weren't for him today, your head and neck would be separated. "

After Hongli left, the clothes on He Shen's back were soaked.Wu Shenglan was supported by the students and made a bow to Heshen.

"What is the teacher doing?" He Shen hurriedly replied, "The teacher's teachings to the students are endless."

Wu Shenglan waved her hand: "Teacher has remembered today's feelings. You have fallen into the Emperor's eyes at such a young age, and you will have a bright future."

In the days that followed, He Shen studied in the official school in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as the four languages ​​of Manchu, Han, Mongolian and Tibetan.The riding and archery class is equivalent to the current physical education class. Because he has never drawn a bow in his previous life, He Shen saw the bow and arrow of the Qing Dynasty for the first time, and his eyes lit up with excitement.The firearms class is equivalent to a modern chemistry class. In the official school, He Shen came into contact with a lot of knowledge and experience that have been lost in modern times, and deeply appreciated the wisdom of the ancients.

Two years later, He Shen took the children's examination and was selected as a scholar. The next step is to participate in the Shuntianfu Township Examination of Wuzike.While he was concentrating on preparing for the provincial examination, he suddenly heard a piece of news: the emperor gave a marriage to Feng Jiwen, the granddaughter of Dongge University scholar Feng Yinglian.

He Shen was sitting in Hongfu Restaurant, drinking tea, and asking the waiter: "Which family's son is this marriage referring to?"

The boy scratched his head, and replied shyly, "I heard he is the fourth son of Master Fu."

He Shen's heart sank. If he remembered correctly, Feng Jiwen was He Shen's wife.The real Heshen made her fortune relying on the fame and power of her grandfather Feng Yinglian.But now, she was accused of giving to Fu Heng's fourth son, Fu Chang'an.

Originally, he still had a headache, how to reject this marriage.Without thinking about an imperial decree, the established route was disrupted.

Because of his arrival, the giant wheel of history is really slowly changing direction...
