10days ago traverse Novels 8
Ertai was chatting about family matters with the Ji family mother and daughter, and suddenly a group of soldiers came in outside the theater. The first person was the chief eunuch Xi, the chief manager of Qianlong. He saw him sweating heavily and panting to Ertai, and said in a irritable manner, Lord Fu, you can make it easy for our family to find Ah

Oh, it's Xi's father-in-law Ah, why, is there anything to do with me? Ertai asked with a smile

Isn't it a problem? Long Sui Ye asked our family to rush to tell you to go to Nanshu. Eunuch Xi said anxiously, it can be seen that Qianlong had been mailing the order for several hours

Eunuch Xi, do you know what happened to me when I was telling you? Ertai asked curiously

Our family doesn't know about this, but Lord Fu, don't worry, Master Fu, I'm very happy today. We guess it should be a good thing to call you there.

Haha, I am happy to be troubled by you. I am really sorry for this little thing. I don’t respect you. I hope my father-in-law will accept it with a smile.

Ertai smiled on his face, approached Eunuch Xi, secretly took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and stuffed them into Eunuch Xi's cuffs. Eunuch Xi's face also had a smile on his face. His fingers skillfully pinched the thickness of the silver notes, and the smile on his face became deeper and deeper. He replied, Lord Fu, you really care about our family.

As he said that, his face did not blush and his heart did not beat. He naturally accepted the bill. It can be seen that it has become a habit to accept bribes from high officials on weekdays.

Then... Lord Fu, you should go back and change into court clothes and go to Nanshu to reply with our family.

OK, Eunuch Xi, I'll go now... Ertai smiled and then bowed to Mrs. Ji and Ji Mei, Mrs. Ji, Long lively Master tells me to go to Nanshu to reply, I can't accompany you anymore. Let's take one step first and say goodbye!

Because it was in front of outsiders, Ertai naturally called Mrs. Ji and Ji Mei in a straightforward manner. Then he said goodbye to Ermei. He hurriedly rode back to Fu's house. After changing into a clean court uniform, he followed Eunuch Xi to Nanshu to study room.

Long live, Lord Fu is here. Eunuch Xi enters first and reports to Qianlong who is reviewing the memorial.

Quick pass... Qianlong said without raising his head

Then! Eunuch Xi responded, then turned around and shouted loudly, Lord Chuanfu to meet him

Then I saw Ertai walk in, and three or four meters in front of the Dragon Case, slapped the horse's hooves and knelt down, and greeted An Dao. I wish you a blessing to Master Fuertai, long live!

Just flat

Thank you

Ertai stood up, rolled up his horse's sleeves, then stood up opposite the dragon's desk with his head respectfully waiting for Qianlong to give instructions.

At this time, Qianlong finished a memorial, stood up and stretched his waist, then walked out from behind the dragon case, walked to Ertai, and said in a casual tone, Ertai, you are used to being a high-ranking official

If you say to Master Long Live, I will naturally do it smoothly. But I will leave Long Live by my side. Without your teachings, I will suddenly lose my backbone. I will inevitably feel a little empty in my heart.

Ertai said in a pleasing manner

Haha, you have learned the kind of flattery Ah Qianlong seemed to be in great interest, patted Ertai on the shoulder, and said with a smile

Haha, long live the emperor, these are all the words in my heart, the words in my heart... Ertai replied with a smile

Whether it’s my heart or flattering... Haha, Ertai, do you know why I’ve been telling you here today?

I don't know...

After Ertai returned and didn't know, Qianlong smiled, then walked back to the dragon case, took a hand and took an imperial edict that had not been stamped, handed it to Ertai, and smiled, open it and think about it.

Yes Ertai replied, "Yes," he said, "I took the imperial edict with both hands respectfully. He opened it and looked carefully. He saw that the general intention of the imperial edict was to make himself an imperial envoy to investigate and handle a case in Shandong.

After reading, Ertai pretended to be extremely shocked and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what do you mean is to let me be this imperial envoy?"

It's Ah... Isn't this imperial edict written clearly... What do you mean? Qianlong stared at Ertai with a bright look and asked back

Ertai hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied respectfully, "Long Live, please be the imperial envoy, but I dare not disrespect you." But I was an official for the first time and I am still inexperienced. I am afraid that I will not be able to convince the public. I will miss the big news.

Qianlong asked Ertai what he meant, but it seemed casual, but it was really hard to answer. If he thanked him directly, it seemed too arrogant. But if he refused directly, he seemed too incompetent, which inevitably left Qianlong with the impression that he could not bear the great responsibility. Besides, Ertai wanted to make the imperial envoy, and did not want this opportunity to slip away from his fingertips. So he thought about how to reply in his mind and said the normal answer.

Haha, you don’t have to be too humble. You have been by my side for three or four years. I still believe in you. OK, this matter is settled... Get up... Qianlong smiled and was slightly afraid on Ertai's shoulder, signaling him to get up, but at this moment, Ertai saw a layer of purple destiny floating out of Qianlong's body.

Strange?

I didn't want to control it, and I didn't dare to control Qianlong's soul anymore. Why did this destiny purple aura suddenly float out of Qianlong's body and condense into a protective shield?

At the same time, Ertai also felt that the colorful wolf energy in his spiritual consciousness began to move desperately in the sea of ​​spirit again, as if he wanted to attack the purple energy of destiny in heaven.

Ertai suddenly understood that it was the colorful wolf energy in his mind that threatened the threatening intentions, which made the purple air of destiny in Qianlong's body float out of protection out of defense, so he hurriedly suppressed the colorful wolf energy in the sea of ​​spirit and was ready to fight back to his spiritual consciousness. He would never act rashly before he found a way to crack the purple air of destiny.

But at the same time, Ertai saw that Tianming Purple Qi was so loyal and so powerful, and he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​getting Tianming Purple Qi. He wanted to find an opportunity to find a way to absorb the Tianming Purple Qi in Qianlong's body into his own body and turn it into his own use

Ertai, if nothing is wrong, just kneel down and rest. Qianlong picked up the tea cup on the dragon table, gently stroked the edge of the cup with the lid, and blew the tea leaves floating on the tea in his mouth, and said lightly

Yes... Ertai was stunned when he suddenly heard Qianlong ask him to kneel down and responded, "Yes". He was about to say that I had surrendered, but then he thought of something again. He said to Qianlong, long live, if you let me be the imperial envoy, I would have a reluctant request

Drink, you still hold it up... Say it... Qianlong put down the teacup and looked at Ertai with a slightly frown

Long live back, I want to... Lord Ji Xiaolan, he is knowledgeable and smart and capable, I want to ask Long live for you to ask Lord Ji and I go to Shandong to investigate the case. Ertai asked Ji Xiaolan for his order.

Ji Xiaolan...?

Qianlong muttered Ji Xiaolan's name, thought for a while, and said, "Yeah," a good suggestion, Ji Xiaolan is a person who is willing to do things and can do things. I still trust him quite a lot, and I trust him quite a lot... I will follow you, take Ji Xiaolan to handle the case together.

Yes, the emperor! Ertai was very happy, but he did not show any of his face. Instead, he knelt down according to the rules. I thanked Emperor Ji for my long life

Um

Qianlong waved his hand and signaled Ertai to get up. Then he took a sip of tea and said, "About Ji Xiaolan, I plan to appoint him as the imperial envoy to assist you in investigating the case together, so you can pass the order."

While speaking, he picked up a pen and wrote an imperial edict and sealed it with a jade seal. He was handed over to Ertai by his grandfather.

Ertai knew that Qianlong had sold his face and that he was the imperial envoy to pass the order. It was even more favorable to Ji Xiaolan, so he expressed his excitement to Qianlong, and said with an excited expression, "Long live my thanks, long live my life!"

OK, please kneel down and let Qianlong wave his hand

Yes, I sued my husband. Ertai returned, and turned around and walked out. Suddenly, Qianlong said again, "Wait."

Ertai turned around again, lowered his head and listened to the Hadith. Qianlong smiled and said, Ertai Ah, you have gone to Shandong. You must find out about me, and do some corrupt officials... and listen to Ji Xiaolan's opinions more in everything. This person is extremely deceitful and has a bit of a trick.

The minister obeyed the order Ertai bowed and said, after Qianlong waved his hand to let him retreat, Ertai turned around and left, quickly rode his horse back to Fu's house.

Not long after he returned home, Qianlong announced the plan to make Ertai an imperial envoy. For a moment, the government and the people were shocked and discussed, and they didn't understand why the emperor sent a young man who had just entered the officialdom to investigate the Shandong case.

However, no matter how confused the doubts, no matter how unhappy the dissatisfaction, no matter how unhappy the dissatisfaction, no matter how unhappy the dissatisfaction, no matter how unhappy the dissatisfaction, no matter how unhappy the anger is, but the emperor's orders are no longer allowed to be changed. Many officials who are involved in the affairs of Beijing and Shandong, or those in charge of the "office" in Shandong, all took a visit to Fu Mansion and prepared a "black gift" to visit Ertai.

However, the servants guarding the Fu family received Ertai's order and blocked the people who came to visit him one by one. Ertai did not want to have just become an imperial envoy, and before leaving the capital, they met these people who had something to do in private. They did not reach Qianlong's ears, but caused unnecessary trouble instead.

So Ertai rode a horse from the Fu family's back house with Qianlong's will to Ji Xiaolan's house. He accompanied him two father-in-laws and two guards in the palace.

Originally, he wanted to go to Ji Xiaolan's house later, but because he missed Mrs. Ji and Ji Mei very much, he had just returned to Fu's house not long after he sat on the bench. Before he could sit on the hot side, he took people to Ji's house.

In less than a stick of incense, Ertai arrived at Ji Mansion. Because at noon, the gate of Ji Mansion Street opened wide. Seeing Ertai and others coming, a servant rushed into the main hall to inform Ji Xiaolan.

The imperial edict arrived, Ji Xiaolan received the edict! Ertai led four people into Ji's mansion, and a father-in-law who was following him shouted with a sharp voice.

Ji Xiaolan received the order

Ji Xiaolan's family might be having a meal at this time, but he, Mrs. Ji, Ji Mei and a young and quiet queen hurried out of the main hall, walked a few steps, lifted up her skirt and knelt on the ground, kowtowed, Ji Xiaolan received the order!

Emperor Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict: I specially appointed the city inspector Ji Xiaolan as the assistant to the imperial envoy, assist the imperial envoy Forte to investigate Shandong, and resign on a date and set off. There must be no mistakes. I will be given this!

Ertai said loudly, this is the first time he felt that the proclamation was so pretentious. He only saw it on TV in his previous life, but now he has experienced it personally, and he is extremely excited.

Ji Xiaolan received the order to thank him...! Ji Xiaolan dragged Yin'er's way of thanking him, and raised his hands high to pray for the imperial edict.

Ertai handed the imperial edict to Ji Xiaolan, then helped him up, and said with a smile, congratulations to Lord Ji...hehe...

I am happy and happy, thank you Lord Fu for your kind words on my behalf in front of the emperor. If you don’t have Lord Fu’s support, I, Ji Xiaolan... Ji Xiaolan bowed to Ertai and thanked him sincerely

Okay, okay, everyone is the same as the officials in the court, it is fate. Lord Ji said this, I am too dissatisfied with me.

Ertai held Ji Xiaolan's hand kindly, stopped his thanks, and then walked to the two father-in-laws and the two guards and took out four silver notes from his arms. He knew that Ji Xiaolan didn't have much money, so he took out the silver for Ji Xiaolan to the boss and handed it to the boss's father-in-law. He smiled and said, "It's so late, I'm still bothering you to come here to pass the imperial edict with me. If you have any intention, you will go to a bar."

Then... I'll thank you Lord Fu... After the four of them thanked him, they turned around and left the Ji Mansion with a smile.

Then Ertai turned around and smiled at Ji Xiaolan, "My Lord Ji, I don't know that there is my wine and meal in the mansion. I have long thought about disturbing Master Ji's glass of wine to eat, haha...

Look at what Lord Fu said, if you can come to Ji Mansion, my whole mansion is full of Penghu Shenghui, please come inside, please... Ji Xiaolan smiled and invited Ertai to the hall, and told the servants to go to the tavern to make a few pots of good wine. At the same time, order a few dishes on the table, and put them in to Ji Mansion.

Haha, then I'm not polite... Ertai smiled and said to the main hall with Ji Xiaolan. When he passed by Mrs. Ji and Ji Mei, Ertai smiled and said hello to Mrs. Ji. Of course, the name was just one by one, but it was not easy to call Sister Ronger in front of Ji Xiaolan, and he didn't call Ji Mei's "niece"

However, when it was the young boy who was born in the face, Ertai didn't know what to call him, thinking that Ji Xiaolan's son was only twelve or three years old, who would this person be?

He was puzzled, but the young man bowed down and bowed to him, "The lower-ranking official Lin Tingsheng had met Lord Fu..."
