Hongli couldn't sit still.Originally, he was worried that He Shen would be bored in the garden, but he had a great time playing.

Enjoying the flowers and playing the piano in the plum garden, bathing and reading in the hot springs, and even leisurely reciting poems and painting, he completely lost his hard-working Saburo at home.After hearing the report from his secret guard, Hongli almost gritted his teeth.

He originally wanted to punish He Shen for not thinking of him for more than a month. Who knew that when he went to the garden in the suburbs, not only did he not think of him, he even forgot the Four Books and Five Classics, so why not make people depressed?

Under Liu Er's subtle influence, He Shen gradually regarded this place as his own home.Anyway, all kinds of servants are more respectful to him than to their serious masters, it's hard for He Shen to feel uncomfortable.

When Hongli came to the garden, He Shen had been here for three days.Originally, he wanted to punish Heshen slightly, but he punished himself instead.

Thinking of a certain child obediently lying down in the hot spring pool waiting for him to enjoy, but he sadly hadn't finished dealing with the accumulated government affairs, Hongli felt bored and speechless.

Liu Eryi knelt down and saluted Hongli when he saw Hongli.

Hongli asked, "Where is Zhizhai?"

Liu Er replied respectfully: "If you come back to the master, Mr. Zhizhai is taking a bath at the moment. Why don't you sit in the flower hall for a while?"

Wu Shulai was about to show his admiration to Liu Er. Master Zhizhai was taking a bath, but you asked him to come in and sit down for a while.Isn't this courting death?Only he, Eunuch Wu, knows how suffocated the Lord is these days. Even he, the person who understands Lord Long Live's thoughts best, has been reprimanded by Lord Long Live several times, not to mention the other eunuchs and maids.

At this moment, he didn't say that he would give him a step to see Mr. Zhizhai quickly, but he blocked his way with one sentence, and that's not how he was looking for death.

Thinking that he and Liu Er had always had a good relationship, Wu Shulai hurriedly made amends for him: "Master, it's been cold and windy all the way, how about taking a bath in the pool?"

Hongli's originally gloomy face soon turned sunny.Eunuch Wu deserves to be Emperor Qianlong's most desirable servant.

When Hongli walked to the edge of the pool, he found that he was really jealous. He Shen was wearing a white thin shirt, lying on a blue rattan chair, drinking fine wine for the emperor, looking at the treasured ancient books, very comfortable .

Seeing Hongli's face as black as ink, and He Shen lifting his white and delicate neck, Hongli's eyes lighted up, and Zhizhai, who had soaked in the hot spring, seemed even more beautiful.Fair and pink skin, delicate facial features, as if carved by God with his uncanny workmanship,

Today, he finally understands what is the beauty of Zhong Tiandi and the good fortune of seizing the world.Zhi Zhai's skin was crystal clear and almost transparent, so thin that it would melt away with just one breath.The long black hair was as smooth as silk, messily scattered on the snow-white skin, showing infinite charm.

Hongli felt his whole body was hot, and he didn't care about other things, so he pulled He Shen and fell on the couch together.

The next day, when He Shen woke up, it was already high in the sun.His body was still not feeling well, so he lay lazily on the bed, not wanting to move.He obviously wanted to wait for Si Ye to come over and reprimand him for his kidnapping behavior, but Si Tiao never gave him a chance to speak.Thinking about it now, I still feel quite depressed.

Hongli was standing there, letting Wu Shu arrange his clothes for him.Four or five young eunuchs were standing on one side with copper basins and cloth towels, making no sound at all.

He Shen couldn't help feeling that the royal rules are strict.

I wonder how long they can stand like this?He Shen propped his chin with one hand, staring at the little eunuchs, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

Hongli turned his head, just in time to see He Shen's strange appearance, and asked, "Are you awake?"

"Yeah." He Shen also planned to get up, but unexpectedly, his waist felt sore, and he fell down again.This is still the ointment given by Li Taiyi every day. It's like this. Fourth Master's physical strength is really good.It seems that the 20 years young that the fairy said is true.

Stretching out his hand and rubbing it, He Shen secretly sighed in his heart.

Seeing Heshen frowning, Hongli walked to the bed, sat down, and asked, "What's wrong? Still feeling uncomfortable? This Li Weide is really useless."

"It's okay." He Shen shook his head hastily, but don't let Fourth Master think about Imperial Doctor Li.Explained: "It's just that my waist is a little sore."

The next moment, Hongli squeezed He Shen's waist with his hand: "Is it here?"

He Shen nodded.Hongli's warm big hands had penetrated into the fur coat, slowly helping him to press his waist.

Wu Shulai's eyes were wide open, and his Long Live Lord was actually rubbing his waist?I am afraid that the empress Xiaoxian and the imperial concubine Huixian did not have this kind of treatment.

He Shen didn't expect how rare it was for Hongli to do this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, Fourth Master's massage skills are still good, and it feels so comfortable to press his warm palms.

People tend to relax when they feel comfortable, and He Shen not only relaxed, but also groaned softly.He didn't expect that such a voice would be such a temptation to the man who loved him.

It wasn't until Hongli lowered his head and kissed his lips that He Shen knew that some people really couldn't be teased.Seeing this situation, Wu Shulai knew that Lord Long Live would not get up for a while, so he led the little eunuchs back out.Of course, Wu Shulai closed the door gently.

The days passed quickly, and it was the end of the new year in a blink of an eye.

There were so many royal affairs, Hongli was too busy to go out of the palace, and He Shen was naturally free.In addition to asking his wife to prepare an annual gift for Ying Lian's grandfather, he also asked her to find a marriage for Lin in the coming year.

After the new year, Helin will be sixteen, and it's time to marry a wife.

He Shen couldn't help being very proud when he thought about how the baby in his infancy had grown into a heroic son.

On the second day of the new year, I took Feng back to her natal home, after which He Shen began to study hard again.

Not long after, He Shen was taken to another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, and this time it was Liu Er who picked him up.

As soon as He Shen got into the carriage, he saw Liu Eryi's frowning expression.

Can't help asking curiously: "Butler Liu, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Er said with a bitter face: "Young Master Zhizhai, there is a battle report from the front, and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Mingrui, died in a battle with the Burmese army. I am in a bad mood these days..."

It turned out that in September last year, Yili General Mingrui took over the post of Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and also served as Minister of the Ministry of War to manage military affairs.He was leading the Qing army to go out to attack Burma in two ways.

The Qing army brought their own two-month rations. Due to the lack of horses, they used oxen to carry them and walked slowly all the way, so that the Burmese army was fully prepared.During the war, the Burmese army first took the initiative to retreat, and counterattacked aggressively when the Qing army ran out of supplies.

At the beginning of February this year, Mingrui was surrounded by tens of thousands of Burmese troops on the way back. Except for a few Qing troops who broke through the encirclement, Mingrui and most of the soldiers died.

Hongli was in a heavy heart at this time.He always thought that Burma was just a small place, so why would he send a large army to be invincible?Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the ending of losing soldiers and losing generals.

When Hongli saw He Shen, he didn't want to make He Shen uncomfortable, so he asked Wu Shu to prepare wine, and he drank and talked with He Shen.

"It's been a while since Zhizhai got married, why is there still no good news?" Hongli was extremely concerned about Heshen's offspring.He felt that as long as He Shen had descendants, he would have an account for He Shen's ancestors, and the matter between the two would not be too serious an obstacle.

He Shen didn't expect Hongli to say this, so he couldn't help being taken aback.After a long while, he said: "I have been busy studying and preparing for the exam, so I don't have the time to waste time."

Hong Liming knew it shouldn't be, but he was very happy when he heard what He Shen said.

He is the one who is under the moon before Zhi Zhaihua.What is Feng's?

Poor Hongli fell into love, and even compared himself with a woman without knowing it.

"That's right, a man should put his studies first." At this moment, Hongli couldn't think of asking Heshen's descendants a question, and his heart was already fascinated by the person in front of him.

After seeing He Shen, Hongli's mood improved a lot.After returning to the palace, he issued an order to bury Mingrui generously, and appointed Fu Heng as the manager, and once again made a large-scale conquest of Burma.

Fu Heng is the younger brother of Empress Xiaoxian. He is a family member of the emperor. important minister.He is outstanding in both literary and martial arts, and Hongli sent him there with high hopes.

He Shen was originally concentrating on preparing for the exam, but he was invited out by Fu Chang'an.

The scenery in Fuchang'an Bieyuan is also excellent.It's just that Fu Chang'an didn't choose to host Heshen in the flower hall and study room, but instead prepared a boat to visit the Bibochi with Heshen.

He Shen looked at the serious-looking servants on the boat, and knew that Fu Chang'an's arrangement must have deep meaning.

"Zhizhai, it's windy outside, let's rest in the cabin." Fu Chang'an didn't see anything on the surface, but his brows were slightly frowned.

He Shen pulled the cloak he was wearing, nodded with a smile, and asked, "Are you really going to swim today?"

"It's natural. I have learned how to make tea these days, so you are lucky."

He Shen followed Fu Changan into the cabin, and found that the cabin was burning with high-quality silver frost charcoal, and he couldn't feel the cold at all.

Can't help nodding.Fu Chang'an isn't much better than other places.In terms of enjoyment, few people can match him.

The steps of making tea are extremely cumbersome. Although Fu Chang'an boasts that he has learned it, there are many movements that are not up to the mark. The originally elegant and beautiful movements are particularly stiff when he sees them.

Sitting cross-legged on the mat, He Shen wondered why Fu Chang'an, who likes to dance knives and guns and can't calm down, would learn how to make tea?

After the tea was poured into the cup, Fu Changan breathed a sigh of relief.Touching the sweat on his forehead, he made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile, "Try it, this is made with spring water from Yuquan Mountain."

He Shen tasted it, and it was really good, so he nodded.

Seeing He Shen nodding, Fu Chang'an couldn't help but heaved a long sigh.

"What's the matter? Are you still hesitating between us?" He Shen couldn't help asking after seeing Fu Chang'an remained silent for a long time.

Fu Chang'an sighed again: "This year's Ama's birthday, I originally planned to make tea with my own hands to honor his old man, who knew... Sigh!"

He Shen heard it strangely: "It is a rare opportunity for Mr. Fu Heng to go to Yunnan. If he wins, he will be promoted to a noble. It is not a problem. To put it bluntly, even if you lose the battle, you will lose soldiers. It has nothing to do with Mr. Fu Heng." .”

Fu Changan's brows were furrowed, "I don't know much about marching and fighting, but my third brother knows a lot. He is not optimistic about this battle."

"Your third brother? Fukang'an?"

He Shen naturally knew Fukang'an, and he heard him praise Fukang'an more than once in Hongli's mouth.

Also Fu Heng's son, Fu Kang'an was treated better than his older brothers and younger brothers.

He was brought into the palace by Hongli since he was a child and raised him personally, treating him like his own son.He Shen sometimes wondered why Hongli was so kind to Fukang'an. Hongli was worried that He Shen would be jealous, so he had to tell him the reason.

Fukang'an was almost exactly the same as Hongli's son, Duanhui Crown Prince Yonglian, who died early in his childhood.When Hongli saw him, it was as if he saw his beloved son.In order to remember his beloved son, Fu Kang'an was brought into the palace for comfort.

At this time, He Shen was a little surprised to hear Fu Chang'an mentioned his third brother.Even if Fukang'an was very intelligent since he was a child, but he has never led a soldier to fight, how can he dare to judge the situation on the front line?

Fu Chang'an saw that He Shen was not convinced, so he lowered his voice and said: "The third brother has heard the report of Minister Counselor Shu Hede and Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou E Ning.

The two adults first went to Yunnan to check.At the beginning of April, the two played together, saying that there are five difficulties in conquering Burma.One is the difficulty of handling horses. Based on the scale of [-] full soldiers and [-] Han soldiers, [-] horses are needed for war horses and harness horses, which is urgent and difficult.

Second, it is difficult to handle food. Calculated based on 42 soldiers and 35 horses, [-] shi of grain will be needed in just ten months, and the province's granary grain is only [-] shi.

The third is that it is difficult to march. It is difficult to travel from Yongchang in the inland to the border, and the terrain outside the border is even worse.

Fourth, transshipment is difficult. Just transporting grain from Yongchang to the border requires more than a million person-times based on three husbands transporting rice and one stone. If it goes outside the border, the inland people are unwilling to go out, and the population is sparsely populated, so it is almost impossible to hire a husband.

Fifth, the weather is difficult, the water and soil are not suitable, and more people died of illness or lost combat effectiveness due to illness in previous wars than battlefield casualties.

Because of these five points, the two adults felt that since it was difficult to fight, it would be better to try to recruit Burma.

You said that in such a situation, can I, Ama, get it right in the past? "

He Shen didn't know much about the situation in Yunnan, and after hearing what Fu Chang'an said, he felt that what the two adults said was reasonable.

Then he said, "What did the emperor say?"

Fu Chang'an sighed, and said: "The emperor thought it would be easy to defeat Burma, so he demoted Shu Hede and E Ning to other positions."

He Shen didn't know what to do about this kind of battle between the two armies, so he had to comfort Fu Changan a few words.

Fu Changan originally wanted to complain with Heshen, and he didn't expect Heshen, who has no official and no job, to have any good ideas.Besides, this is something the emperor has decided on. What can these courtiers do?
