In fact, these rumors had already existed as early as when Qianlong just started his northern tour.

He Shen went to the north first. He set off for Chengde first to take care of everything, and then Qianlong set off.Gui and Mingliang also went with them on this northern tour.Moreover, the two of them were still by Qianlong's side, and they were not affected by the previous incident at all.

It is said that Qianlong often retreated from the left and right, and talked with Qinggui and Liangliang alone.

The expenses of Qianlong’s northern tour were not used. Before Anming’s status, he had no family property, and he did not use the money from the Ministry’s treasury. In fact, Qianlong did not let Heshen worry about the expenses at all. The fee money was sent to Heshen.

When Heshen went to Chengde first, the required expenses had already been checked with him by a special person. All the expenses he needed after going to Chengde, and all the expenses he needed after Qianlong’s departure were never in short supply, and they all arrived on time. He Shen is here.

Although Ding You was at home, and most of the errands on his body were filled with people who would take over the errands, the position of Chief Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was still vacant.Yinglian is still on the job, but the actual errands are all done by the deputy.

Qianlong originally valued Heshen very much, and Qianlong originally wanted to leave Heshen with the post of Minister of Internal Affairs.He valued Heshen's ability to make money, and the House of Internal Affairs was considered a royal private treasury, so he naturally hoped that there would be as much money in it as possible.

But since the time when He Shen and Qianlong contradicted each other, Qianlong's heart has calmed down.

Heshen had a different mind from his. Since they were not of the same mind, Qianlong did not want to hand over the House of Internal Affairs to Heshen.But he couldn't find a suitable person to take over, so he kept procrastinating, waiting for Qianlong to find a suitable person before making arrangements.Anyway, nowadays, it is not bad that the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are arranged in this way.

But because there is no new person to take over, the deputy in charge of the errands has a good relationship with Yinglian, and there are still a few truths in private.He Shen also learned from Yinglian that during this northern tour, Qianlong also did not use the money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and did not take out any money from the internal treasury.

Where did the money come from, He Shen didn't go into it.This is not within the scope of his duties, not to mention that the money in the treasury of the household department has not been moved, so he will not take the initiative to investigate it.

But there are rumors that they still come to him from time to time.

Although the cost of the northern tour is not as much as that of the southern tour, it is still a considerable expense.What's more, it is more difficult to get the money from other places, whether it comes from the treasury of the Ministry of Households or the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

But there has never been a shortage of money, and He Shen is the person in charge and handles it, so he naturally knows better.

The money was donated by Qinggui and Mingliang.In fact, in He Shen's view, these rumors are not just rumors.He Shen has not investigated it, but judging from the current state of affairs in the court, and the degree of Qianlong's trust in Qing Gui and Ming Liang, relying on his keen intuition of corruption in his previous life, He Shen is almost certain that the money is Qing Gui and Ming Liang. Contributed by bright ideas.

From themselves, from some of their henchmen, from the common people, and from those officials in those counties and counties who wanted to flatter Qianlong but suffered from no connections during the northern tour.

He Shen is in his house, surrounded by close relatives and friends, who are worthy of his trust.What's more, the reason why he contradicted Qianlong last time, because Qinggui and Mingliang went to show courteousness, is already known throughout the court.

He Lin and Fu Chang'an also knew the cause and effect, and He Shen naturally had nothing to hide.

"There will be more things like this in the future. They have tasted the sweetness this time, and the emperor will not stop it. You will see more things like this. Even more people will follow their example. "

He Shen's words are equivalent to affirming the guesses in Fu Chang'an and He Lin's minds.

In fact, when the two of them met privately in the capital during He Shen’s trip to the north, they discussed the previous matters, and the two of them reviewed all the things He Shen had not said to them during that time Out.

Sometimes he didn't avoid Feng Zhixi when the two of them were discussing. Feng Zhixi didn't do anything after she became pregnant, just sat there holding the hand stove and listening to the two of them. Feng Zhixi actually knew everything, but when listening to the two of them discussing, they still felt It was very interesting, and I didn't take the initiative to explain it. I just smiled and listened to it, but I thought in my heart that this matter can be analyzed by He Lin and Fu Chang'an, and it can be regarded as an experience for them.

He Lin Tongfu Chang'an now knows He Shen's intentions, thinking that He Shen was almost desperate like before, but in the end he didn't get all the things he wanted to fight for.

The emperor did not take money from the treasury of the Ministry of Users and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he did not go on a southern tour.But when he turned around and went to the north tour, he also acquiesced in the contribution below.The consequences of doing so in the court are completely obvious.

In the Military Aircraft Department, Fu Changan has access to more information and people than Helin. Fu Changan told Helin many things, but Helin is smarter than him, so after knowing the whole story, there are many joints in it. , He Lin analyzed it for him.

Both He Lin and Fu Chang'an felt that according to He Shen's original intention, he would never sit back and watch such a situation happen.

He Lin looked at Fu Chang'an again, and asked He Shen directly: "Brother, is there anything you need us to do for you now? As long as you need, we can do it, we can do it."

It's hard to sing alone.It's okay if they didn't know about He Shen before, but now that they know, it's natural to give He Shen corresponding support.

He Shen smiled and said, "You don't need to do anything. You just need to do your job well."

"But," Fu Chang'an couldn't help but said, "but Qinggui and Mingliang did such a thing, and they obviously disagree with brother. If this continues, the atmosphere in the officialdom will only get worse and worse. Now many people are arguing about it." Follow suit, if the wind of dedication is not curbed, it will be more difficult to control in the future."

He Shen finished his meal, and after wiping his mouth and hands, he quietly looked at He Lin Tongfu Chang'an: "It is a great deal not to embezzle the money from the treasury, and not to embezzle the criminals' status or family property for inspection expenses. Concession. Of course I don't agree with their contribution, but have you ever thought about it, they do this kind of thing over and over again, almost indifferently doing such a thing when the government and the opposition are making a fuss, who is it? What is the acquiescence behind them? And who is supporting them?"

He Shen didn't continue talking, Feng Zhixi followed behind and said quietly: "After all, it is Lord Long Live, you have to give Lord Long Live some time. Your elder brother contradicts him, this is a must. At least this period of time cannot continue .We are not afraid of anything, but we can't be reckless. We know that it is definitely a bad result, so let's do it slowly."

"Otherwise, Long Live Lord will be completely angered, and even the good times in front of you will be gone. At that time, your elder brother will really be accused, and you will also be implicated. I am afraid that the treasury money will not be kept. The southern tour that has been put on hold In their hands, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will be activated. Now is not a good time to take the lead."

We must protect the fruits of victory.Keep a low profile.

This is what He Shen means.He wants to clear the officialdom, but this clearing cannot be done quickly.

He has been in the officialdom for less than ten years, but he has been immersed in the officialdom for decades in his previous life. He Shen deeply understands that the bad atmosphere in the officialdom does not happen overnight, but slowly forms.If it can be resolved overnight, it must be done vigorously by the upper echelons to completely eradicate it, just like what he finally suffered in his previous life.

But if the superiors are all about conniving, protecting and acquiescing, no matter how hard they try, it will be useless. Instead, they will change from active to passive, and finally lose their own opportunities.

He Shen has been waiting for so many years, it is not impossible for him to wait.He can continue to wait.At the right time, Qianlong can see the serious consequences of his indulgence and acquiescence, just like letting him see the deficit caused by his enjoyment.

Only when Qianlong made changes could these things be finally contained.He Shen believes that if that day really comes, Qianlong will change.However, Qianlong needed to make a lot of concessions, and He Shen knew very well how difficult it would be for a person who is greedy for pleasure to give up pleasure.

However, he still felt that he should give it a try.If you try hard and it doesn't work, then naturally make another plan.

But now, in He Shen's heart, he still feels that caution is the first priority, and he will be reckless when he can, and he and these people around him cannot be dragged into greater and deeper dangers in vain.

In the game of officialdom, safety comes first, and He Shen really has no way to risk everything when he thinks it is wrong.

For He Shen's sudden detour, the two young people, He Lin and Fu Chang'an, obviously cannot fully understand and agree with him, but they have natural trust and dependence on He Shen, and they still believe in He Shen. The calculations in Shen's heart, and they don't know what's terrible about what they want to do, but they won't do it. He Shen told them to stabilize. own heels.

After all, He Shen did not say that he would not do this. When the right time comes, they also hope that they are ready to make He Shen even more powerful and realize their long-cherished wish.

Fu Changan is not full yet, he is greedy to drink, and He Shen does not drink, but the wine stored in Hefu is particularly delicious, especially the Zhenyi wine brewed in his own mansion, which is exactly the same as what was said in the old poems. It became Fu Chang'an's favorite.

While eating and drinking, he muttered to He Shen: "The Empress Dowager will have her [-]th birthday soon, and I don't know what to do for this birthday. Seeing what the emperor wants, this must be a big deal. Big deal It costs money again, and I don’t know what kind of cost it is.”

Seeing that he was drunk, He Shen pushed the sobering soup over, but turned around and asked He Lin: "I heard that you have a good relationship with Fu Kang'an, and he appreciates you quite a bit, and wants you to find a suitable partner." Go to his camp to fill the vacancy?"
