[Yongzheng x Nian Gengyao] overwhelmed the world

Since Yin Si left, Nian Gengyao became more obsessed with Sichuan's civil affairs and military affairs, and vowed to be a good official who lived up to the emperor's grace and served the country and the people.

He was busy from sunrise to sunset for several days in a row, and he didn't close his eyes much.Seeing that he had worked hard for days, He Cheng brought a bowl of ginseng soup to refresh Nian Gengyao.

Seeing that he was considerate and caring about everything, Nian Gengyao gradually opened his heart to this old man from the governor's yamen.He smiled and took the ginseng soup that He Cheng handed over, blew on it a few times, raised his head, and poured it directly into his stomach.

In a blink of an eye, it was January in the 49th year of Kangxi, which was the twelfth lunar month. During the Chinese New Year in the first month, the weather was getting colder, and the north wind was blowing hard, making people stiff.Seeing everyone in the mansion ask for leave and go home one by one, only He Cheng and Nian Gengyao are left in the mansion.

This bowl of ginseng soup warmed his stomach from his throat to his heart, melting the ice and snow in his heart for many days.For several days, Governor Nian, who had been frowning and stern, also showed a red light and a smile on his face.

"You send me ginseng soup and supplements every three days, how can I afford it." Nian Gengyao half-jokingly said to He Cheng.

He Cheng rolled his eyes, smiled and said to Nian Gengyao: "Master Nian, you are a great benefactor to the people of Sichuan, your body is very important, what should we do if you are exhausted. "

Nian Gengyao slapped the table and laughed, and said with a little helplessness: "You, this problem of sycophancy can't be changed."

He Cheng didn't mind what Nian Gengyao said. These days, he gradually discovered that this new governor was not as cold-blooded and heartless as he imagined.On the contrary, he is still a passionate and ambitious man.And he also admired Nian Gengyao more and more.Sometimes, this hard-working young man gets excited and can stay in the government office for several nights, lying at his desk until dawn.

I don't know when, the officials in the yamen no longer hate this chief who treats his subordinates harshly and treats bad deeds unselfishly. Everyone respects him.

It took Nian Gengyao just a few months to prove to people that he, Nian Gengyao, was not a playboy who bullied the world, but a good governor who really wanted to do something practical for the people.

After he finished drinking the ginseng soup, he said to He Cheng again: "It's almost Chinese New Year, you should go home as soon as possible to reunite with your family."

He Cheng just shook his head: "Master Nian won't leave, and neither will the young one."

Nian Gengyao counted his fingers, and he didn't go home for almost half a year, and he missed the capital very much.But the current business is busy, and it doesn't mean that you can just walk away.

Thinking of this, he felt a little lost and a little sad.

He Cheng saw that Nian Gengyao was suffering, so he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Nian, I'm here. You, you can go home and have a good New Year."

Nian Gengyao asked back, "He Cheng, if you stay here, what will your family do?"

He Cheng was silent, and after a while, he smiled wryly and said: "The little one has no family anymore, my parents have abandoned me long ago, and I never thought about marrying a wife, it's good to live alone like this."

Seeing him say this, Nian Gengyao couldn't bear it even more and said, "I'll spend this year with you."

He Cheng waved his hands pretending to be chic, and said to Nian Gengyao: "Don't be a big man, don't be a mother-in-law. This time, Mr. Nian, please listen to me. Let's go home to celebrate the New Year."

Seeing that he was so persistent, Nian Gengyao thought of going home. After hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind and said, "Then please manage the affairs of the yamen well."

He Cheng excitedly helped him pack his luggage back to Beijing. Nian Gengyao was about to follow, but a loud voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Long time no see, Nephew Lianggong, how are you doing?"

Nian Gengyao followed his reputation, but it was Yue Shenglong, the governor of Sichuan who personally brought him to the governor's office that day.

"Sichuan governor Nian Gengyao has met the admiral." Nian Gengyao bowed to Yue Shenglong.

Yue Shenglong stepped forward to help Nian Gengyao up, smiling amiably like a loving father.

"Did the admiral come alone?" Nian Gengyao asked concerned, not seeing anyone behind him.

"That's right, my nephew thought that the old man came to inspect the official business, right?" Yue Shenglong laughed while stroking his beard, pulled Nian Gengyao closer and said, "How does my nephew plan to live this year?"

Nian Gengyao glanced at He Cheng in the back room, hesitated and said: "I... Lianggong thought that there should be no major affairs in the mansion, and all the subordinates have taken leave, so it's okay to go back to Beijing for the New Year."

Yue Shenglong didn't mean to blame at all, on the contrary, he smiled more and more kindly: "Nephew, don't worry, the old man has been in Sichuan and Sichuan for decades, how can you not know the bitterness of it. After all, you are still a Be filial to your children, go home to celebrate the New Year, remember to say hello to Nian Ya Nian on behalf of the old man."

Seeing that Yue Shenglong understood his situation quite well, Nian Gengyao nodded excitedly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yue, for your understanding. When my nephew arrives in the capital, he will definitely bring Mr. Yue's greetings with him."

Nian Gengyao personally poured a cup of tea for Yue Shenglong, handed it to Yue Shenglong respectfully, and said, "I don't know how Master Yue plans to celebrate the New Year this year?"

Yue Shenglong's face was full of spring, and Jingbu said in his heart: "To be honest, Liang Gong, I have already become a Sichuan citizen."

Nian Gengyao couldn't help laughing, and asked in surprise, "Why did Lord Yue suddenly think of becoming a Sichuan citizen?"

Yue Shenglong calmly explained the whole story: "My mother is over ninety years old, and the emperor is sympathetic to his ministers' filial piety, so he has allowed all of us, young and old, to be registered in Sichuan and to be reunited in Sichuan."

Nian Gengyao knew that Yue Shenglong, as the governor of Sichuan, would visit the Three Treasures Hall alone if he had nothing to do with him today, but he was reluctant to tell the reason, which really made people anxious.

Yue Shenglong sat on one side, sipping tea quietly, and said leisurely: "Nephew, your tea is good tea, but it's a pity that you boiled it too quickly and it doesn't taste good enough."

Hearing this, Nian Gengyao said, "Master Yue, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up."

Yue Shenglong smiled, stepped forward and patted Nian Gengyao on the shoulder, and said slowly: "The dog Yue Zhongqi naturally joined the old man in Sichuan, but well, he is just an alternate magistrate who was donated. Son, among other things, he has loved martial arts since he was a child, and he likes to fight and kill. A few days ago, he proposed that he wanted to change from a civilian job to a military job. Take your time. Why don't you go to work under Mr. Nian, the governor of Sichuan, if you do well, you will naturally have a chance."

Nian Gengyao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Yue Shenglong's purpose was to put his son under his command.

"Why, my nephew despises the little dog and is not talented, is he causing you trouble, Mr. Nian?" Yue Shenglong's voice was like a bell.

"Of course not. Since your son is willing to come to the Governor's Yamen to practice, it may not be a good thing." Nian Gengyao straightened his clothes and said solemnly.

"Okay, after the new year, let him report to you." After speaking, Yue Shenglong didn't forget to take out a peace talisman from his sleeve.

"Nephew, safe journey back to Beijing." Yue Shenglong smiled and stuffed the peace talisman into Nian Gengyao's hands.

He Cheng quickly packed his luggage, but when he came out, he saw Nian Gengyao standing there in a daze, and asked with concern: "Master Nian, are you alright?"

Nian Gengyao hastily raised the corners of his mouth: "It's okay, have you packed your luggage?"

He Cheng pushed Nian Gengyao's full baggage into Nian Gengyao's arms, then pushed him out of the door, and said happily: "It's not too late, you should hurry up and get on the road."

Nian Gengyao shook his head helplessly, but there was hidden joy in his heart.

At this moment, he couldn't think about anything anymore, and he rode his horse and galloped towards the capital. He was young and frivolous, and he could only indulge.

Unexpectedly, after walking for a mile, He Cheng's hoarse voice suddenly came from behind, "Master Nian, Mr. Nian, come back quickly!"

Nian Gengyao suddenly felt an ominous premonition, and asked He Cheng anxiously, "What happened?"

"Something happened!"

In the 49th year of Kangxi, Wu Weisheng, Fan Luodu and others plundered Ningfanwei and killed the guerrilla Zhou Yulin. The Holy One was furious and ordered Nian Gengyao, governor of Sichuan, and Yue Shenglong, governor of Sichuan, to suppress the governor.

Nian Gengyao suddenly heard the military order, and before he had time to pack up, he hurriedly put on a gray battle robe, stepped on a red BMW, and called He Cheng to rush to bring reinforcements, while he himself led a team of troops, and went straight to Pingping. Fan Wei hurried away.

But a group of people rushed to Pingfanwei, and they hadn't met Na Luodu before, but they heard the good news from the front: Luodu had been captured alive by the governor of Sichuan, Mr. Yue Shenglong, and now he was on the way to be escorted.

Nian Gengyao always felt that something was wrong, so he asked the spy who returned the report sharply: "Why did I get the enemy here, and Mr. Yue has already captured the bandit leader alive?"

The spy was also at a loss, and said: "I don't know about this, I'm afraid I have to ask Mr. He Chenghe."

Seeing that Nian Gengyao's eyes were burning like a torch, He Cheng said obediently, "It's none of the slave's business. As soon as the slave received the imperial edict from the palace, he rushed to the lord without stopping."

"Who sent the imperial decree?" Nian Gengyao held the bridle tightly, and meditated to calm himself down.

"Yes... the admiral sent someone to the governor's office." He Cheng told the truth.

Nian Gengyao suddenly remembered something, and a smiling face appeared in his mind. He felt a chill in his heart, and his back was cold, and soon covered with goose bumps.

It's nothing more than a hidden knife in a smile.

"Master Nian, the matter has come to this point, what should we do?" He Cheng knew that Nian Gengyao couldn't argue with anything this time, and no matter what, he might be unable to escape the crime of leaving without authorization.

"What else can we do, let's go back." Nian Gengyao raised his head to the sky and let out three shouts, then led the army back.

He Cheng looked at Nian Gengyao who was walking ahead alone. The sun was setting, and the long and narrow twilight shrouded his thin body, reflecting his lonely back.But he is still as vigorous as before, looking ahead, calmly waiting for everything that is about to meet him, he is like a lonely hero, a hero will fall into trouble, but he never bows his head.
