Daily life of Heshen's pet wife

Bing respect, charcoal respect, don't respect, these are the unwritten rules in the officialdom.None of these things have been said publicly, but Qianlong knows everything here.

As long as there was no big commotion, Qianlong didn't want to take care of it.Just open one eye and close one eye.

Being an official now is different from the past. Forming a party for personal gain is abhorrent, but this door accepts some money, and foreign officials present some ice charcoal to the Beijing officials as a farewell. As long as there is no trouble, Qianlong will not investigate.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Qianlong understood this truth very well.

It's just that among these individuals, there is such a clear stream as He Shen, who rarely communicates with courtiers on weekdays, refuses to talk about people thousands of miles away, and even refuses to accept a copper on the door. Qianlong was very curious and thought Ask He Shen what he thinks.

Of course, He Shen's behavior is very much in line with Qianlong's wishes, but most of the courtiers may not be able to do this.

He Shen said: "It's true. The whole servant's house does not accept money. The whole servant's house is doing the slave's own errands. Of course, the silver used is from the slave, and you can't use other people's money. Some people ask for money from the slave's door." In fact, slaves can't do things for them, so naturally they don't charge money."

"What's more, it's not the case to respect the charcoal by the ice, and the other respects. The slaves don't want money that shouldn't be collected by the slaves."

"Slaves can make money by themselves, and spend their own money in a dignified manner according to their own abilities. Slaves don't accept and don't show favors."

He Shen has always felt that it is not easy to be an official.After being reborn, he can find his own livelihood, support the family business, and give the people he cares about a good life. He can spend as much as he wants, as long as he likes and needs it, and he doesn't care how much money he will spend. This is natural. the best.

But not everyone has such means.

Every year, the ice respect and charcoal respect, foreign officials entering Beijing and leaving Beijing, and various names of farewell are something that no one who is an official can escape.Some people have a solid foundation and can afford this money.Or he also collects money himself, and can give out the money.But many people's families are not well-off, and they have no other income except salary, so they can't make up the money at all.At this time, it is really stretched.

This kind of atmosphere was not brought up by He Shen in his previous life.It's always been like this.When He Shen was an official, he became greedy and followed the trend. Later, he even intensified and became the fueler of this trend.

He didn't want to have this greed again in his life, and used the money he earned dignifiedly and peacefully.This kind of atmosphere is naturally not good, but if we want to talk about rectification, now is really not the time, and it has not yet come.

He Shen can only be himself.

"It's a good one who doesn't show affection and doesn't act humanly."

Qianlong was moved by He Shen's words.In fact, their monarchs and ministers had an in-depth discussion earlier. Qianlong always felt that He Shen was very good. He always valued He Shen. In his opinion, those rumors were not very important. Even if the wind blew into his ears, it would not affect him. Judgment on Heshen.

Qianlong was only worried that if these words spread like crazy, it would affect his mood if they reached He Shen's ears.Qianlong didn't want Heshen to have any thoughts because of this, so he called Heshen over, just to ease Heshen's heart and let him not take these gossips to heart.

Qianlong also praised Heshen: "It's good that you are like this. Don't worry about saying anything. If I say hello, you are good."

Qianlong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay. Go back to your errands. You don't have to worry about those things outside, just do your errands with peace of mind. I will take care of it."

When He Shen came, it was not quite clear what made him come to see the emperor.Even Fu Chang'an and Liu Tongxun wanted to remind him to be careful and play right before the imperial court.But on the way he came, when he came to the palace road, although he didn't know what it was for, he made up his mind in his heart that he might not listen to what they said, so he had to be careful to play the right thing, say less and make less mistakes.

Some things, especially when it comes to his own principles and the things he wants to do, it is impossible for him to back down half a step in order to make Qianlong happy.He knew Qianlong too well, and for some things, if no one sent those real things to him, he would never face the facts squarely.

Qianlong would always think that today's Qing Dynasty is still Haiyan and Heqing, and it is still prosperous.

It's a pity that what Qianlong told him during this meeting did not involve those things.Qianlong came to appease him. Although both Qianlong and he knew in their hearts that he didn't need to be appeased, this appeasement was only for those who spread rumors.

After He Shen left, Li Yu didn't come in either. Qianlong tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and a person came out, it was Ying Lian.

Qianlong called Yinglian to talk in advance, earlier than calling Heshen.When Heshen came, Qianlong let Yinglian go inside.

It's not that they were not allowed to meet, but Qianlong didn't want Yinglian to listen to him when he was talking with Heshen.He wanted to hear He Shen's real thoughts.It happened that Yinglian was inside, and he could also hear the conversation between Qianlong and Heshen.

Ying Lian came to Qianlong and stood there with his hands down. After a while, Qianlong said: "For so many years, I always thought that he could do business and make money, and he was a man to be made. Looking at it now, it really didn't let me know." Disappointed."

"Of all the ministers in the court, besides you, he is the only one who can let me trust this matter to him."

Ying Lian lightly pursed his lips, and said, "What Long Live Lord means, is it settled?"

Qianlong smiled lightly and said: "It's okay to look again. He is still young. You can still work for a few more years. I will give him a few more years of room for growth. When he can settle down, he should be able to Finished the errand I gave him."

Yinglian nodded: "Yes."

Qianlong thought about going to live in the Old Summer Palace tomorrow, and felt quite happy in his heart. Looking at Yinglian's eyes, the smile was wider than before, and he even started a little joke: "He Shen said that he didn't collect the money, you have ?"

Ying Lian's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately knelt down: "I am ashamed."

Qianlong laughed loudly: "Don't be so nervous, I just ask casually. There is nothing to be ashamed of. I don't intend to ask you to do anything. You just do what you did before."

Qianlong didn't take this to heart, and waved Yinglian back.Ying Lian came out of the palace, went to the palace road outside and saw that there was no one around, then slowly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He thought over and over again the conversation between Qianlong and Heshen just now, and thought over the few words of Qianlong just now in his heart several times, and finally he felt something unusual.

Ying Lian had never discussed this aspect with Heshen before, and the only two times he heard Heshen and Qianlong talk about it.Although Ying Lian also knew that He Shen never took money, he only thought it was He Shen's personal ethics. Did not interfere.

But now that Yinglian could sense Qianlong's appreciation for Heshen more and more from this conversation, he wondered if he should do the same.Although he didn't make money like those people outside, he didn't have a breeze like He Shen either.Now if he is the same as Heshen, it will not be difficult for him.

He Shen is now his grandson-in-law, and advancing and retreating with his grandson-in-law seems to be something he should and can do.

As for what Qianlong is optimistic about what Heshen can accomplish, Yinglian is equally optimistic, and even very proudly believes that Heshen will definitely do much better than him.

He Shen returned to the Military Aircraft Department from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and everyone was busy with their errands.But as soon as He Shen entered the room, he clearly felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him for a short while.When he raised his eyes to look back at the past again, everyone immediately looked back, as if nothing had happened.

A vague smile appeared on the corner of He Shen's lips, and he walked back to his seat. Liu Tongxun next to him looked at him deeply, and he smiled back, indicating that he was fine, so that Liu Tongxun didn't have to worry.

Fu Chang'an didn't have any errands to do, and he had been following He Shen all the time. Just now when He Shen came in, Fu Chang'an wanted to stand up from his seat to greet him, or Liu Tongxun glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, Fu Chang'an It was only then that he calmed down and did not move, but his eyes were fixed on He Shen all the time, and his eyes were full of worry.

After He Shen walked over and sat down, he reached out and patted Fu Chang'an's arm lightly, signaling him to be at ease, then smiled at him and nodded. Fu Chang'an knew that this meant nothing. Only then slowly let it go.

He Shen's mood was not affected at all, and after sitting down, he devoted himself to the government affairs in front of him.When it was noon, the dining room hadn't delivered the food yet, because it was still a bit hot in the duty room, and the ministers had been busy all morning, so they could only take a rest before eating.

Someone here put down the official documents one after another, and the imperial eunuch came in outside, saying that the emperor had an imperial decree for He Shen, He Shen knelt down to receive the decree, and all the officials followed the rules and knelt down on the ground.

The way Qianlong supported Heshen remained unchanged.

An imperial decree was sent to the Military Aircraft Office, promoting Heshen to be the left servant of the household department, the right servant of the official department, and the deputy capital of Zhenglan Banner Manchuria.

He Shen received the decree, and the eunuch who came to proclaim the decree did not stay long. After giving the decree to He Shen, he returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to return to his life.

As soon as the person who announced the decree left, the Military Aircraft Department suddenly became lively. Whether it was true or false, all the officials gathered around to congratulate He Shen.

Fu Chang'an hadn't mastered the kung fu of hiding emotions and anger, so he couldn't help but look at the faces of the people with pride. When He Shen was dealing with the ministers, he took the time to glance at him. With just one glance, Fu Chang'an immediately calmed down. He followed He Shen in a well-behaved manner, not daring to laugh anymore.

He Shen looked at the smiling people in front of him, and thought, if the people who spread the rumors behind this knew this will, they would probably die of anger.
