Ertai walked steadily and soon arrived at the court room. It was less than 4 o'clock in the morning. There were only two officials, Heshen and his Ama, in the court room.
He pushed the door and entered the room. When he saw the two sitting on a chair, he closed his eyes and rested. He walked over to see the courtesy, "Hello with the Lord, I'm lucky."
Because there were outsiders present, Ertai called Fulun "Master Fu" according to etiquette, but not "Ama"
Hearing Ertai's voice, Heshen and Fulun all opened their eyes and stretched their arms. Heshen stood up and smiled at Ertai, "It's Little Fu, you've come so early, you deserve to be a young man, your energy is more vigorous than us."
Because Fulun is also "Master Fu", Heshen called Ertai "Master Xiaofu" to distinguish it without any intention of ridicule or sarcasm.
Haha, I dare not call him an adult... Ertai used to travel through time and regarded Heshen and his idol as an idol, and respected him extremely. When he saw the real person, he couldn't help but feel excited. His words naturally showed sincerity. He, you are also young and strong. I am just a young man in front of you. I hope to give him advice from you in the future. Ertai is grateful.
Haha, Lord Xiaofu is so humble. I miss you with a plan to "build a plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly" and capture the bandit leader of the Red Lotus Sect in one fell swoop. How could this strategy and talent be achieved by a young man?
Heshen smiled and said, Besides, it is fate that you and I are the ministers in the same palace. We all try our best to assist the emperor and the dynasty, and we all contribute to the court. We say that we don’t give any advice. Isn’t it the heretic?
Yes, I said very well to the adults, I said the wrong thing, haha, Ertai also replied with a smile
Haha, let's learn from each other and make progress together
Heshen beat him up, then sat back on the chair, pointed his right hand at the chair on one side and said to Ertai, "Sit up, Lord Xiaofu, too." Yesterday, Lord Fu and I were on the night all night, so we were so tired and nervous.
A silly adult
Ertai thanked He Gongquan, then sat on the chair and praised casually with a smile, "Thank you and Lord Fu are working hard all day long for state affairs."
Haha, it’s not hard to say. We will eat the king’s salary, so we will have to share our worries, otherwise what if we want our subordinates to do? Heshen stretched lazily, his face was exhausted.
What I told you very much is that the duty of our ministers is to serve the country loyally and share the worries of the king.
Ertai also acted in an official voice, acted like a "loyal minister", and then pretended to be careless and asked casually, "Master Fu, I wonder if the emperor has the candidate for the imperial envoy in his heart this time?"
When he heard this, he was wiped out with the adult's tiredness. He turned his head and looked at Ertai with his eyes playfully. Even Fulun, who was like an old monk entering into meditation, also cast his eyes. There was a faint layer of worry in his eyes. He was anxious. Why did Ertai become confused? Why didn't he understand the truth that he should ask what should not be asked?
Absurdly quitting the holy will is a great sin to deceive the king.
However, Ertai naturally noticed the gaze of Heshen and Fulun, and understood the meaning of their eyes, but he was calm and composed, his face had not changed at all, and he still had a faint smile, which made people unable to understand what he was thinking in his heart.
This son is not a thing in the pond, and this concentration and scheming are not like ordinary young people.
Heshen stayed on Ertai's face for a few seconds with interest. He was always good at speculating on others' psychology, but he could not read what he wanted from Ertai's smile. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Ertai's cunning was extremely deep, which made him unable to understand.
The surprise in Fulun's heart was only deeper than Heshen. Ertai was grown up since he was a child. He felt that he was not scheming. Even if there was a little shining point, he was shrouded by Erkang's light. However, when he captured the Red Lotus Sect's rebellion last time, Fulun's previous view of Ertai was completely subverted. He felt that he was responsible in his work and had the strength of young people. What was even more rare is that he did not have the defect of young people who were not calm and impulsive when encountering things. On the contrary, he was calm, sophisticated and skillful in dealing with things. As compared with important officials in the court, he seemed to be no less than that of young people.
This time, Ertai seemed to be hot for a moment. In front of Heshen and Lord, he rashly asked for words that were taboo, but his face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he was not angry. His calm and composed look was quite as elegant as a general.
Alas, the son I raised has become more and more difficult for me to see through.
Fulun sighed in his heart, lamenting that the new generation of Qianlong dynasty emerged, and a generation of new people beat the old people, but he did not worry too much. Fortunately, Ertai was his own son, so he was not worried that he would not be in the same mind as him. If someone else was changed, Fulun would definitely be more cautious about him.
Haha, Lord Xiaofu has been following Lord Lao Fu to worship Buddha at Xishan Temple some time ago. Have you heard of the case in Shandong?
Seeing that he couldn't understand Ertai's meaning, Heshen asked with a smile, his expression was casual, but the light from the corner of his eyes accidentally swept towards Fulun, thinking to himself, was it because Fulun wanted to be the imperial envoy, so he wanted to use Ertai to make the meaning in his words?
Or are you trying to indirectly ask yourself to say good things for Fulun?
If this is true, I have to be more careful. After all, I have always had a relationship with the officials in Shandong. If Fulun was the imperial envoy, it would be a bad thing if I found something that was not good for me and it would be implicated. Although I was favored by Long Live, I would not have too much trouble, but it would be bad if I found out that the problem was not good.
No, I must win the identity of the imperial envoy. Heshen made up his mind
When Ertai saw the look of the Lord He glanced at Fulun from time to time, he immediately understood what he was thinking. He guessed that he was probably involved with the officials in Shandong and must have won the title of the imperial envoy. He immediately became more careful and said, "This Shandong case is a hot topic, I don't think it's hard for you." I heard that the emperor was angry because of this matter and was not thinking about food and food. As a minister, we can't help but worry about the emperor's dragon body.
It's Ah. Yesterday, the emperor summoned Lord Fu and me at night. What he talked about was also a problem in Shandong. He was worried that the victims would not be properly appeased, and he also blamed the officials of Shandong for suppressing the rebellion, fearing that the remnants of heaven and earth would be rebelled, rebellion, and cause disaster.
Heshen said this very well, saying that the emperor was worried that the people would not be properly appeased, and that Shandong officials were unfavorable to do things and could not quell the rebellion as soon as possible. However, he cleverly avoided the issue of corruption and bribery by Shandong officials, without mentioning a word.
After all, according to the unspoken rules of the officialdom, the most unfavorable crime is a crime of dereliction of duty. At worst, it is dismissal or lost. In severe cases, it is just a punishment for exile. Once a major corruption case is found, it is inevitable that the punishment of beheading will be punished. In severe cases, it will be executed in the whole family, and the wife and daughter will be exiled to the frontier for the armored person to be slaves.
And he and the Lord have the meaning of protecting the officials in Shandong, and also trying to protect themselves and their territory. After all, he is a first-class Wenhua Palace Grand Secretary and Minister of Military Affairs, Minister of Revenue, Minister of Imperial Affairs, Minister of the Imperial Court, Minister of the Liberation Court, and Minister of the Liberation Court. He can be said to be in a forward position, but if he does not have the support of the officials below, it will be just an empty shell.
Ertai often read official novels in his previous life and was well versed in the way of the officialdom. At this time, he was in the middle of the world. Naturally, he was very clear-headed and clear-headed. He heard the meaning of protecting the officials of Shandong in his words. He did not argue with him. He just followed his words. As the saying goes, "Water can carry a boat and can also overturn the boat." The people are the cornerstone of the existence of the country. Only when the people's lives are stable can the country be stable.
Haha, Lord Xiaofu is really concerned about the people. It’s not a pity that the emperor is very fond of you. The Lord of Buddha is very fond of you. He is very wise and admires you.
When it comes to the Lord and Lord Lafayette, they clasped their fists with their hands, and as for the left side of their cheeks, they were respectful to them. At the same time, they also praised Ertai by praising Lord and Lord Lafayette, which sounds very useful.
I have a strong talk with the adults. This is just the love that the emperor and the old Buddha have given me. How can Ertai be worthy of praise?
Ertai looked humble. When talking about the emperor and the Lord Buddha, he raised his hand and bowed his fist.
Lord Xiaofu doesn't have to be too modest. Even the Emperor and Lord Lao Fu praised you. How dare I not praise you? Haha... As the two of them talked, Ertai and Lord He became familiar with him, and Lord He joked with him.
How dare you? I will break the fortune with the adults. Seeing that He took the initiative to joke with him, Ertai was not easy to make big deals, so he also half-jokingly told the adults.
After that, the two of them chatted casually, and Fulun interrupted from time to time. The three of them seemed to have discussed in advance. They didn't mention the incident in Shandong, and they were all in harmony, laughing and talking, and a picture of "deep love between colleagues". However, as for whether they had their own concerns in their hearts, only the three of them knew it themselves.
While talking, the fourth day passed without realizing it. The ministers entered the courtroom one after another. The atmosphere became lively. The civil and military officials first greeted each other and made some polite comments. Then they chatted with people they knew in groups of three or three, waiting for the eunuch to pass the order into the hall.
After Fulun greeted the officials, he winked at Ertai. The two walked to a secluded place. Fulun asked in a low voice, Ertai, why did you suddenly remember what you asked about the matter with the Lord and the Imperial Minister?
It's nothing, I just asked casually. I wonder if I have any idea of winning this title with the adults. Ertai smiled casually
Judging from what he just said, it seemed to be expelling officials from all over Shandong, and only said that they had quelled the rebellion and avoided the corruption and bribery section.
Fulun sorted out what he had just said to the adults in his mind, and then said
Well, I also heard this meaning. It seems that I am a little confused with the Shandong officials. I don't know what I mean.
You have always been an imperial guard before and are not very clear about the officialdom. The current Shandong Governor Lu Zhengping is Heshen's disciple, Tai'an prefect is also his third concubine's brother.
Fulun lowered his voice and told Ertai all the things about Shandong's relationship with Heshen. He originally would not say these words to Ertai, and there was no need to say them. However, at this time Ertai had already turned to the officialdom, and Fulun would naturally know the interests between them and Ertai.
So that's it... After hearing Fulun's words, Ertai nodded thoughtfully, then frowned again, and said in a low voice, Ama, don't forget that the prefect of Jinan is your brother-in-law, and he is also deeply involved in this case. If the title of the imperial envoy falls into the hands of the Lord or others, it will be detrimental to my aunt's family.
Well, since you know everything, I won't hide it from you. The emperor has already had a lot of worries about the position of imperial envoy, one is Heshen and the other is Liu Yong
Fulun revealed the emperor's meaning to Ertai, and then frowned and added, "If he was an imperial envoy, he would definitely work hard to protect the officials in Shandong. Of course, in order to evade the emperor, with his personality, he would definitely find one or two officials to punish him. Your uncle is the prefect of Jinan, which is very important in this case. If he is handed over to justice, even the governor of Shandong and even the governor of Zhili will not be able to protect it. In addition, the court knows that the prefect of Jinan is my brother-in-law, Heshen will definitely not do such a thankless thing. What worries me the most is that the title of the imperial envoy will fall on Liu Yong's head!
After hearing Fulun's worries, Ertai nodded in agreement and said worriedly, Lord Liu Yong is honest and honest, and he is not upright and can't rub any sand in his eyes. Even the emperor sometimes gives him three points. If he is the imperial envoy, I think he will not buy your face and will definitely be punished strictly.
Alas, this is also what I am worried about. Your uncle made an unforgivable mistake. He was guilty of the emperor's grace and was ashamed of the people. He deserved the punishment for beheading the head and searching the house. But this made your aunt suffer and he would inevitably suffer from him... Speaking of Ertai's aunt, Fulun couldn't help but sigh, and it seemed that he loved his sister to the extreme, and his words revealed the intention of protecting her. This was very different from his usual style of "destroying relatives for justice" and never cared for his family.
Ertai didn't want his beautiful and charming aunt to make any mistakes, so he wanted to strive for the position of imperial envoy. He had already made up his mind. Since the emperor was not sure whether to choose Heshen or Liu Yong as the imperial envoy, it would be better not to choose anyone. As for whether the imperial envoy's hat could fall on Taertai's head, it depends on the wind in the ears of Lord Buddha.
After thinking about it, Ertai said to Fulun solemnly, Ama, I think that when I went to court today, the emperor would ask everyone about the candidate for the imperial envoy. However, the ministers of the gods have no other skills and are still good at observing their words and expressions. They must have guessed that the emperor was not sure about the choice between the emperor and the Lord Liu. They would definitely support the Lord and the Lord Liu. The two of us would wait and see if there was a weak force, so we would support the weak side. In this way, we would make it more difficult for the emperor to make a decision. We might not be able to wear the big hat of the imperial envoy on our Fu family.
You said the emperor would choose our Fu family as the imperial envoy? After hearing Ertai's words, he saw Ertai's expression was serious and as if he was confident. Furen immediately looked at him with surprise.
He pushed the door and entered the room. When he saw the two sitting on a chair, he closed his eyes and rested. He walked over to see the courtesy, "Hello with the Lord, I'm lucky."
Because there were outsiders present, Ertai called Fulun "Master Fu" according to etiquette, but not "Ama"
