Chapter 149 The candidate for the imperial envoy is determined

10days ago traverse Novels 8
Ertai heard Qianlong ask the appropriate candidate for the imperial envoy, and he looked up and thought that the highlight was coming. As the saying goes, throwing bricks and attracting jade.

Whether in modern or ancient politics, when major events are not reached, one or two irrelevant trivial matters are often mentioned to adjust the atmosphere. These trivial matters are often irrelevant to their respective interests, so no one will argue, and the atmosphere will rise to a more harmonious situation. Then, when talking about major events that cannot reach a unified opinion, it will not be too embarrassing.

When ordinary people look at politics, they often think that if officials belong to different factions, they will definitely be awkward in big and small matters. In short, they have to be uncomfortable with the other party. As long as the other party thinks it is right, they think it is wrong. In fact, this is extremely wrong. There is an old saying in the officialdom, that is, there is no eternal friend, nor eternal enemy. Whether it is an enemy or a friend is a matter of matters. As long as it is not related to interests, it will be a harmonious place. Once interests are involved, you have to fight to the death.

As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food!

It’s like Qianlong just now that the issue of the Red Lotus Rebellion Party was always disagreement, and Liu Yong, who had always disagrees with the adults, also agreed with the adults’ views on a certain point, because this matter does not concern each other’s interests, there is no need to argue. As for the candidate for the imperial envoy, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be as peaceful as before.

Sure enough, as soon as Qianlong finished speaking, Heshen and the Lord took the lead in making a move. The person who spoke was Fu Kang'an's half-brother Fu Chang'an. This person was He's the hard-core confidant of He's. I saw him say, "Long live the imperial envoy. I think the position of He's is He's the Minister of Revenue. I've served as the Minister of Revenue. I've served as the general manager of the Ministry of Revenue in the early years. I've been very familiar with the accounts. Since the accounts in Shandong are unclear, it's most appropriate to supervise and check the accounts. Second, He's from the great guard, and he's very skilled. He's familiar with military books since he was a child. He's going to supervise the military rebellion in Shandong, which is also very suitable.

Fu Chang'an talked happily, just to ask for an official position with the adults, and took the opportunity to praise Qianlong and all the civil and military officials.

After hearing him, Qianlong had not spoken yet, but waved his hand modestly to the Lord and said, Lord Fu really loves you, everyone is doing things for the Emperor, so there is no need to do anything, right?

The polite words are spoken, but the smug smile cannot be hidden on his face

Who in the world doesn’t like to be praised by others?

Especially when I was praised by others in front of the emperor, but it is necessary to have a modest manner with the adults. Otherwise, you will be happy to praise you. It is too pretentious, and the emperor will not feel comfortable after hearing this.

However, the good mood with the adults has not lasted for a few seconds, and he was depressed by the words of another minister. He only heard the minister say, "Your Majesty, I think it is more appropriate for Mr. Liu Yong to serve as an imperial envoy." There are two reasons. First, Mr. Liu is upright, honest and self-disciplined, and can resist corruption and never get involved in it. He can better investigate the fraud case in Shandong. Second, Mr. Liu has let the prefect and governor positions beside him, and is much more familiar with local government affairs than he is with him. Therefore, I think it is most appropriate to send Mr. Liu to investigate Shandong.

Although the minister said something obscure, he also named the reason why Qianlong sent an imperial envoy to return in vain. That is, the first two imperial envoys were not honest and self-confident enough, and privately accepted the filial piety of local officials in Shandong. Since he had taken other people's money, it would be difficult to expose their shortcomings.

At the same time, it also implicitly expressed that Liu Yong, Lord Liu, is a clean official, will definitely be honest and dedicated, and will only think about working for the court. He will never accept bribes in private, nor will he cheat for personal gain. This is better than He Gong, because as we all know, He Gong is a corrupt official!

Long live, I think Lord Liu is inappropriate. After all, Lord Liu only manages local government affairs. After entering the court, he has been supervising the Ministry of Works, and is in charge of building dikes, gardens, etc. He has never served in the army, nor has he ever led troops. Moreover, Lord Liu is a civil servant, unlike the great man who is both civil and military. How can he quell the rebellion of heaven and earth?

As soon as the minister finished speaking, another hard-core supporter of Heshen stepped forward to refute his remarks

Then I have never led the army with the Lord. How can I say that I can lead the army to quell the rebellion? Another party member of Liu Yong stood up and retorted.

Although Lord He has never led the army, he is proficient in bows, horses, riding and shooting. In addition, Lord He has been familiar with military books since childhood. If he is ordered to supervise the army in Shandong this time, he will definitely be able to quell the rebellion in one fell swoop.

Fu Chang'an once again made his point of view and refuted the Liu School

It is true that he is a great guard from a great guard, but he relies on strategies and strategies to lead troops to fight. He cannot suppress the rebellion by just one person. Moreover, the responsibility of the imperial envoy is to supervise the army, so it is called "Social", which is to supervise and supervise the army, and bring the priest's benevolence and will to the local area. It is not to go to the battlefield in person and lead by example. What is the use of skill?

Liu Fang is not showing weakness

You are a clever and misinterpreting the emperor's saint's will. The so-called imperial envoy is patrolling the emperor on behalf of the emperor, and what you represent is the emperor. If you send Lord Liu and a literati to come and cannot quell the rebellion, wouldn't it cause our emperor to lose face and how can I maintain my power?

You are clever and fickle, and you are still slandering now. You say that if the imperial envoy cannot quell the rebellion, it will lead to a great loss of face and my emperor's power. But the first two imperial envoys returned to martial arts!

The first minister who supported Liu Yong retorted, and even exaggeratedly put the hat of "deception of the king" to the minister who spoke to the sect.

You... The minister of Hepai was so angry that his face turned red and his ears were trembling. His fingers were trembling at the other party, but he was speechless for a moment and could not think of what kind of words to refute him

Humph The man from Liu Sect snorted, turned his head and ignored him, and only gritted his teeth with the ministers.

However, one of them was "dead", and the Hepai was not short of gunmen. Then another minister stood up to argue for Hepai, and quoted the classics and listed one, two or three articles, explaining the reasons why Hepai was more suitable for serving as an imperial envoy than Lord Liu.

As soon as he finished speaking, another minister of the Liu School stepped forward to refute the views of the minister just now, and also divided one, two or three reasons, clearly explaining the reasons that Lord Liu is more suitable than Lord Liu than Lord Liu

For a moment, the court was very lively, and we were arguing endlessly, and we almost caught up with the vegetable market to hawk. In this process, no matter whether the ministers in the court opposed or supported him, they did not say a word from beginning to end, and their faces were full of faint expressions. They just took their eyes to look at Qianlong, who was sitting on the dragon chaise high and unfathomable in ancient wells.

They knew in their hearts that no matter how fierce or fierce the dispute between their respective parties was, the final decision was still in the hands of Qianlong.

However, Qianlong did not express any expression at all. He ignored the eyes of Heshen and Liu Yong below. Instead, he occasionally turned his eyes to his quiet Fulun from time to time. However, he just glanced back every time.

I think it's suitable for adults...

This is a bad statement. I think Lord Liu is more suitable than Lord Liu...

The Liu School and the He School members were constantly arguing, and they were red and spitting. At the beginning, everyone was still polite and polite in their words. After the argument, everyone began to unconsciously bring out dirty words, just like a shrew cursing. Even a military officer rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was trying to fight with the other party.

OK! What are you all quarrels?

Qianlong, who was sitting on the dragon chaise high, saw the ministers below quarrel, and the more they made a fuss, he couldn't help but frown and shouted loudly with anger, look at you, treat my Golden Palace as a vegetable market, there is no such thing as a gentle and respectful minister, it's a whole group of shrews, shrews!!!

When Qianlong spoke at the end, his tone became more and more serious. The ministers who had just argued were worried and sweating all over. Everyone hurriedly knelt on the ground and thrust into guilt, saying, "I am guilty, and I should die most!"

Humph, it’s good if you know the crime! Qianlong slapped the fan in his hand on the dragon’s desk and said with a tiger’s face, “Okay, get up, and you dare to roar in the court again in the future, and each person will receive twenty boards!

Thank you. The ministers hurriedly thanked them, then stood back to their positions tremblingly, lowered their heads and wiped their foreheads with their hands, and they dared not say a word more

Humph, retreat! Qianlong said angrily, then stood up and walked towards the side door of the Ganqing Palace with great anger

Retreat...! The headmaster Xi of the Great Inner looked ahead with a expressionless face, shouting sharply, and the ministers hurriedly fell to the ground, shouting, Long live my emperor!

……

After the court dispersed, Ertai went to the Lady Buddha's place. He had already found out from Erkang that Qianlong reviewed the memorial in the South Study room and would take two hours to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager's place. So he took this opportunity to go to the Lady Buddha's place and revealed his intention to be an imperial envoy to the Lady Buddha. Of course, he could not help but use his men's charm to conquer.

Although the Lady Buddha couldn't bear to let Ertai leave him, he thought that a good man was determined to be in all directions. Since he became Ertai's woman, he naturally hoped that he could make a name for himself. This time, he served as an imperial envoy to work in Jinan. It was a good opportunity for Ertai to make great contributions again. After thinking about it, Lao Buddha agreed to help him plead with his affection in front of Qianlong.

Seeing that Lord Lafayette agreed to help, Ertai was very excited and couldn't help but push Lord Lafayette under her again, allowing her to enjoy the nourishment.

Then Ertai thought that Qianlong was coming soon, so he said goodbye and left Cining Palace. He originally wanted to comfort the queen, but he was in a very bad mood when Rong Mama died. He kept locked himself in the room these days and no one saw him. Rong Mama's death was inseparable from him. He felt a little sorry for the queen, and was afraid that the queen would "report his troops to punish him" and went back to Fu's house directly.

……

Shortly after Ertai left Cining Palace, Qianlong entered Cining Palace and knelt down to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager.

Get up, why are you free to come to Ai's house today? Lord Lao Fu asked with a smile

Qianlong said, "Thank you," and sat on the chair to the right hand of Lord Lao Fu, saying casually, "My son has been busy these two days and hasn't been here to see you. I hope you don't get surprised."

No matter what you say, it's all a family. Besides, Emperor, you are busy with state affairs and have no time to come to visit Ai's family. How could the Ai family blame you

The old Buddha said with a smile, and then ordered the maid to see the tea. After a while, the maid brought a cup of steaming tea and respectfully placed it on the table beside Qianlong.

Emperor, try this, this is Longjing in front of the rain, it was Ertai who specially respected me. After the maid stepped down, Lao Fu said to Qianlong casually.

Oh, Longjing in front of the rain, I have to taste it

Qianlong smiled and picked up the teacup, blew gently, took a sip, and praised, the taste was fragrant and pleasant, but it was a good tea. Ertai was really filial.

It's Ah, since the Fu family beat their ancestors, they have always been loyal to my royal family. The Grand Secretary of Fulun is your loyal minister. Erkang and Ertai are also quite promising, especially Ertai, who saved the Ai family last time. Ah has always been thinking about this love in her heart.

Yes, yes, my mother said very well, Ertai saved you, and he was the country, but my son has already paid back this love for you, so you don’t have to pay too much attention

Um

After hearing Qianlong say this, Lao Fu nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then placed the teacup on the table, and asked as if chatting, Emperor, I heard that something has happened in Shandong recently, is it Ah?

Ah Mother, have you heard about it? Qianlong asked with a smile

It was Ah. When the Ai family heard that the people were dissatisfied with the government, they all got up to make trouble, as if there were still remnants of the Heaven and Earth Association involved, right?

My son is worried about this matter these days. Qianlong sighed

Then you might as well say it. Although my Qing Dynasty ancestors were not allowed to interfere in politics, such a big thing happened, the Ai family was also worried about you.

The child is unfilial, and you are worried about your son. Seeing that the old Buddha said this, Qianlong hurriedly bowed his body to apologize.

Forget it, I'm all my family, so I won't say such polite words

The old Buddha waved his hand, and then pretended to be half-understand and asked, "Emperor, I heard that the imperial envoys sent for the first two times returned without success, and nothing was found, right?"

Yes, Qianlong nodded, and then asked with great interest, "Mom, you live in the harem, where did you hear these things?"

Haha, I also said to others that something big happened in Shandong, it is difficult for the Ai family to even think about it.

Of course, Lord Lao Fu would not say that this was heard from Ertai, so he just vaguely said that he was talking nonsense.

Qianlong just asked casually, and after hearing what Lao Fu explained, he didn't ask again, and then replied, "Since you know, you know, the child won't hide it from you. In fact, my son didn't want to hide it from you early in the morning, but he just didn't want you to know and worry about your son, haha."

Alas, you, the older you get, the more you meet your mother. The old Buddha sighed unhappily and glanced at Qianlong.

Mom, what are you saying? How could my son meet you? It's just a matter of Shandong. He said it's big and small. I'm not worried about the little thieves in the world. They can't make any big waves. What I really worry about is that the administration in Shandong has been broken from the root. If I really investigate it strictly, it will inevitably lead to another big earthquake.

Qianlong said worriedly

Lafa was born into an official family since childhood. He was influenced by his childhood. He had a strong political concept and had a great view of the overall situation. She understood and understood why Qianlong was worried. After all, the court was composed of the emperor and officials at all levels. The emperor had to rely on officials at all levels to manage the country. If a fraud case in Shandong was investigated carefully and carefully, a large number of officials would inevitably be involved, and even ministers in the court would be implicated. As the saying goes, it would be easy to kill officials and dismissal, but where would you go to find so many officials to fill the gap?

And it can ensure that the newly appointed officials do not embezzle, plunder the land, and exploit the people?

Emperor, the case in Shandong cannot be delayed. It is necessary to send a solid and smart and capable imperial envoy to Jinan for investigation, otherwise it will inevitably lead to a disaster and affect the surrounding areas.

Speaking of this, the expression of the Lady Buddha also became serious. It was not only for Ertai, but more for the Qing Dynasty. After all, she was a royal family member of the Qing Dynasty and knew the truth that "whether the skin is left without hair?"

Alas, my son is also worried about the candidate for the imperial envoy, so it has been delayed. Qianlong frowned and said

Does the emperor have a suitable candidate in his heart? Lord Lafayette asked immediately

One is Heshen, the other is Liu Yong. But you also know that these two people have always been unharmonious, and their son has been in the middle of the harmony. But if Heshen is sent this time, Liu Yong will definitely not accept it. If Liu Yong is sent, Heshen will not be happy. And the other ministers are either old or weak or embarrassed, or I am not at ease with the other ones, so it is difficult to make a decision for the time being.

Qianlong told Lao Fu that he was tangled in his heart that he poured beans into his bamboo tube.

After hearing this, the old Buddha nodded with a thoughtful expression. After a while, he smiled and said to Qianlong, since the emperor is not sure to send someone, does the Ai family have a suitable candidate?

Oh? Who is it? When Qianlong heard that Lao Fu had a suitable candidate to recommend it, he asked anxiously, "The incident in Shandong has been delayed again and again, and Qianlong is unable to sleep or eat more than anyone else. After all, this country is his."

Ertai Lao Fu is quite proud of his words. He only said Ertai's name, but did not say the reason to recommend him.

Ertai? After hearing this, Qianlong couldn't help but frowned, and quickly calculated in his mind. His left finger on the table was tapping the table from time to time, thinking about it

The old Buddha was not in a hurry, and quietly drank tea and waited for Qianlong's decision. Suddenly, Qianlong's eyes lit up while thinking, and he said happily, "My mother, I originally wanted Fulun to go to Jinan, but after you reminded me, I think Ertai is more suitable, haha."
