He Shen

When Shanbao received the decree, he knew he had made the right bet.

In the officialdom, once he loses power, he may be lost forever, especially his family has a shallow foundation, but there are many enemies, and there are many people who look at him with envy on weekdays.

Who is not smart around Qianlong, if he is missing, there are countless people who want to make up for it.At that time, it is hard to say whether Qianlong will remember him or not.

Not to mention anything about marriage.

If Qianlong is kind, just point him to one, even if the family is not high, it can still stop people's mouths.

But if Qianlong "forgot" and left him alone like this, it would be too young if he couldn't get a wife by then, and there would inevitably be someone under the "sacred will" to clean him up without a trace.

Shanbao would shudder every time he thought of going here.

Fate is in the hands of others, how terrible.

Shanbao looked at Fukang'an's bright smile, and laughed too. He squeezed Fukang'an's arm kissingly, and said with a smile, "Fukang'an, you have a lot of face." Thirty-nine cold days.

"Thanks to you, Shanbao." Fukang'an thanked him sincerely, stretched his ape arms to wrap around Shanbao's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Shanbao, go to my house, let's discuss this matter carefully, and all rules must be established." Get up. This year's autumn clothes are also available, so I just stopped by to try them on, and if they don't fit, I'll tell them to change them."

"Why, you want to send me away with just a few clothes, that's no way." Shanbao smiled and slapped Fukang'an's hand away, and said in a low voice, "Be more disciplined in the palace. It's so hot."

Fukang'an put down his arms obediently, but walked very close to Shanbao. The scorching sun at noon shone on the wide square, and the white stone slabs reflected the heat waves like flowing fire.

In the Forbidden City, apart from the imperial garden, there are almost no tall plants and trees in other places.

In the hot afternoon, there were not many people on the road. Fukang'an whispered comfortingly in Shanbao's ear, "Shanbao, although the mission to receive the King of Xinjiang was lost, it's the same when we do the water transport together. Don't be sad. I'm not those old fritters from the Ministry of Rites, I will tell the emperor about your merits, and I will never take your credit."

Shanbao smiled indifferently, and glanced at Fukang'an, "Don't talk nonsense, I just ran errands with the Tibetan chieftain last time, to see the rarity, and gain some knowledge. I never thought about returning to Xinjiang. Pass."

Fukang'an looked at Shanbao's face for a few times, but he didn't see anything, but he had been with Shanbao for a long time, and he knew a little about Shanbao, whether he really didn't know Shanbao, Still don’t know, Fukang Andu said to Shanbao, “I, Ama, said at home, originally the emperor wanted you to receive Ali and Zhuo’s errand…”

"How is this possible? I'm just a third-class bodyguard..." Shanbao had indeed heard the rumors, but at this time it was just talking about Fu Kang'an.

Fu Kang'an had a ghost in his heart, and he didn't hide it from Shanbao, "At that time, the emperor said that he wanted to promote your title, and let you take care of it."

Fukang'an continued to mutter, "You said you didn't make a lot of contributions, so why did you give him a title for no reason. I was thinking, the emperor intended to give you the princess on purpose." Fukang'an's side face was blushed by the scorching sun, Wiping the sweat off the tip of his nose with his thumb, he said to himself, "The one who is not married in the palace is the Ninth Princess, the daughter of the concubine Ling... It's not that I said sour words, how can that girl be worthy of you... She looks average." , has a weird temper, and when her voice is a little louder, she is tearful like someone bullying her. Marrying a wife is a way of life, and the Lord Shang just has the title of Heshuo's son-in-law, and life will be difficult in the future... like me Second brother, sharing the bed with the second sister-in-law still has to wait for the call from the second sister-in-law, and you have to sneak around like a thief, for fear that the emperor will be unhappy if he finds out, what is the life of a man..."

Fukang'an spoke the truth lazily, "I'll take you to Baihuayuan."

"So you knew that things would leak out." Shanbao's voice was flat, and he wished he could kick Fukang'an to death.

Fukang'an whispered to Shanbao, "I have the guards of Long Live Rewards by my side." Shanbao immediately swayed from side to side and swept around, but saw no one.

"Where can it be displayed in a big way." Occasionally, Fu Kang'an felt that Shanbao was really an idiot, and said helplessly, "Besides, they will not enter the palace with me. I was thinking that there are two types of emperors who choose foreheads. One is marriage with Mongolia, and the other is marriage with Manchuria. They must be honest children. Just look at the big forehead and my second brother. I want to take you to have a romantic relationship. Maybe the emperor will stop this heart Well. Who would have thought that he would be so angry that he only allowed the state officials to set fires and did not allow the common people to light lamps."

Shanbao shook his clenched fist twice, tried his best not to dance to Fukang'an's stinky face, holding back his anger, and said dryly, "This is all right, I don't think the emperor will give it to you." What kind of woman do I mean to be my wife?"

Damn, who said marrying a princess is bad?

Could it be that in this day and age I still have to fall in love first before getting married?

The princess has a princess mansion. If she likes it, she can go there more often. If she doesn't like it, go there less often. Women in this age are very reserved, even the princess can't say anything.

The key is to be the emperor's son-in-law. What kind of status is this? Marrying such a woman I don't hate can save 20 years of struggle. Why not marry?

Shanbao was so dizzy from anger that he couldn't speak.Fukang'an also said "I'm very considerate", "Don't worry, I see the emperor is very angry, I guess you won't be able to get married this time."

Damn, what did I do in my last life to be sorry to you, you beat me like this!

Fukang'an quietly said to Shanbao, "As long as the emperor doesn't give you a marriage proposal this time, how about a good marriage waiting for you?"

Shanbao grunted twice expressionlessly, could he be better than the princess?

"Let me tell you the truth, my eldest cousin is Fucha Mingrui, you know that? My eldest cousin has a daughter who is born out of a legitimate daughter, who is two years younger than you. Because she is an only child, she does not need to be drafted." Fukang Anla Picking up Shanbao's hand, he said with a smile, "My ama and my first cousin both fell in love with you, but the emperor said that he wanted to propose marriage to you, so how dare you mention this matter again. Now when the emperor treats you indifferently, my ah Ma asked the emperor to give you a marriage, there must be something."

"Really?" Shanbao's dead man forced a peony flower to bloom on his face, and immediately chased Fukang'an and asked, "You didn't fool me, did you? How can this be?"

Fukang'an saw that he was taking good care of him and was refreshed, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's more, you have given me a lot of face, and you don't even think about how many years you have known me, can I still hurt you?"

Anyway, the cooked princess has already flown, and the noble lady of the government can no longer be yellow.Shanbao asked Fukang'an, "The emperor is not easy to fool, hey, you take me to drink flower wine on this side, and ask for a marriage gift on the other side, what should I do if it is self-defeating?"

"What's the matter, the emperor is angry once and can't let it go. He has to cold you for a few days just for the sake of face. As long as the draft is fooled this time, the matter will calm down in two years, and my family will bring it up again. At least [-]% sure "Fu Kang'an said to himself, "If the emperor doesn't want it, I don't want others to pick it up. Huh..." He was punched as soon as he finished speaking!

Shanbao gritted his teeth, "What do you mean I don't want it! Is my market so bad? I don't know how many people used to match me."

Consort, almost becoming a consort!

Damn Fukang'an!

However, Shanbao's mood is so much better than a few days ago, and he hopes that Qianlong will never forget himself, and he will hurry up and marry the daughter of Fucha's family.

Although it is not as good as the princess, there is still ten years less struggle.

Shanbao is not ashamed of nepotism at all, but rather complacent, and his attitude towards Fukang'an has gradually improved. A little heart is jumping happily, warm like a March spring breeze.

July is a festive month, Princess Hanxiang is coming, and the fiancée of the sixth elder brother Yongrong, who has been engaged for three years, can finally marry in.

Princess Huanzhu and Gege Ziwei are getting married as they wished.

The ceremonial department of the clan's mansion was so busy that they were dizzy and confused. What was even more embarrassing was the big wedding of the fifth elder brother. Huanzhugege was an orphan and had no mother clan. What would Xiao Ding Najili do?

It seems that at this time, the officials who sent heavy gifts to Jingyang Palace realized that the fifth elder brother's wife's family was blank.Your Majesty, why did your Majesty point out an orphan girl to Fifth Elder Brother?

What should I do with the dowry of Huanzhugege?Where do you come from?If you make up your mind to get married, all the etiquettes must come from your parents, right?The Ministry of Rites asked the emperor politely.

Concubine Ling and the two princesses were in love with mother and daughter, and after listening to Qianlong discussing with her, she said softly, "Why don't you let Little Swallow recognize a godmother?"

"That's a good idea, but which one should I recognize for him?"

The concubine Ling smiled, folded her hands on her ball-like belly, her face was full of maternal love, "Little Yanzi is innocent and cute, and she is the Princess, who wouldn't be willing to recognize such a daughter? However, the concubine said, the daughter's family When you get married, Erniang has to teach you some private affairs. If you only bear a name and don't know each other well, it's not suitable. The emperor forgot, and the dowry for Little Swallow has to be prepared." Seeing Qianlong nodding, the concubine was even more confident Be sure, "the concubine thought, Xiao Yanzi and Fu's family are very familiar, she and Ziwei are like sisters, why not let Xiao Yanzi recognize Fu's family? The concubine's cousin also likes Xiao Yanzi, the cousin only has two sons, she will definitely be able to Treat little Yanzi like your own daughter."

"Just Yiaifei." Qianlong talked with Lingfei for a while, and then returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Now the newly decorated Chonghua Palace is there, the sixth elder brother and the eighth elder brother are both out of the palace, and whoever lives in the Chonghua Palace is already a lice on the bald man's head, it is obvious at a glance.

At this time, it is a great dignity and honor to recognize Huanzhugege as a righteous daughter.

Fu's family suddenly became a hot spot in Beijing, and Fu Lun discussed that in addition to the princess-style dowry prepared by the clan's mansion, the family should also provide a dowry for Huanzhugege.

In this way, the dowry of Little Swallow's parents will be complete.Fujia became even more popular.

Many people prepare three points thicker for the Chongyang Palace.

Qianlong didn't seem to notice this, he was listening to the fifth elder brother and the minister of the Ministry of Rites report about receiving the King of Xinjiang.

The fifth elder brother said, "My son is thinking, Ali and Zhuo Yuan came here for peace since they returned to Xinjiang, and the emperor rewarded him with dignity, and brought all the civil and military officials to welcome him in the square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He must be deeply grateful for the emperor's favor." I am so grateful...the Ministry of Rites has already drawn up the rules and regulations for guards of honor."

Qianlong didn't make a sound, looked at Fukang'an at the side, and asked, "Fukang'an, what do you think?"

Fukang'an has always spoken directly, "The slave feels that something is wrong."

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

After receiving the cold gaze from the fifth elder brother, Fukang'an said with more peace of mind, "Ali and Zhuo are just county kings. Back in Xinjiang, it has long been not peaceful. Since Wansui ascended the throne, there have been two rebellions. The slave thinks, Ali and Zhuo came here because he was defeated by Long Live, and he was afraid of the fight, so they came to ask for peace and surrender. If you want the slaves to say, how many princes outside the Great Wall, how they face the saints, Ali and Zhuo will face the saints. He came from Huijiang far away Long live, reward him with more things, give him wine and meat, that's enough. A Huijiang county king is not worth the labor of civil and military officials."

Not to mention Fu Heng, Ali Gun and other Manchu relatives, even Liu Tongxun and other Han officials felt that what Fu Kang'an said was reasonable.The last time Tibetan chieftains came to court, they were not arranged to greet them.Could it be that the face of the king of Huijiang is particularly bigger than others?

Qianlong laughed, and sat in a more comfortable position, holding Fukang and said, "You kid, you all say that peace is the most important thing, and it's not good to neglect Ali and Zhuo."

"The slave has an idea, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"In front of me, there is nothing you can't say." Qianlong laughed.

Fukang An said, "The servant thought that when Ali and Zhuo came back, he had to let him know the majesty of the heaven. Tell him to see the strength of our army and make him fearful, so that he can be honest. When he comes, besides the reception of the Ministry of Rites, there is We can ask the Ministry of War to prepare a ceremony to review the Eight Banners Garrison, and then the emperor will take him there to open his eyes, so that these people will not know the heights of the sky and the earth."

Fu Lun said with a smile on his face, "Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the sage has to use them as a last resort. As soon as he comes, he sees the swords and guns, and he is afraid that the king of Xinjiang will feel at ease."

Fu Kang'an asked strangely, "Master Fu, are you familiar with King Huijiang?"

"I have never met King Huijiang, how can I say I am familiar with him?"

Fukang'an was even more puzzled, and said, "Then you don't care if he feels uneasy. This," scratching his green scalp, Fukang'an organized his words, "Huijiang was originally our territory, but troubles happened repeatedly. The soldiers won the battle with blood and sweat, and they were willing to submit. When the king of Xinjiang came this time, the emperor not only did not ask the crime, but we took care of food and drink, and even welcomed him. This is all due to the emperor's kindness. It can be said Let’s get up, when the emperor was in power, when was he not merciful? As for them, they sharpened their claws and rebelled. It can be seen that when dealing with them, kindness alone is not enough, and it is better to treat them with kindness and power.”

Qianlong nodded and said approvingly, "Fu Kang'an, although you have been on duty for a short time, you know some state affairs. The idea of ​​reviewing military affairs, um, is a good idea," looking at Fu Heng and saying, "Chunhe, you two will be in a while. Discuss and come up with a statement. Also, call Shang Yunting and ask him to accompany me to receive Ali and Zhuo. He has been back to Xinjiang for a long time, and he should be familiar with Ali and Zhuo."

Then he called the fifth elder brother and said, "The sage said that benevolence should be the foundation of governing the country. This is correct. There is another saying that governing the country by law. It can be seen that the governing of the country should be lenient and strict, otherwise it will lose the rules and regulations."

"Yes, my son understands."

Qianlong smiled and said, "Yongqi's words are also reasonable. Ali and Zhuo have come a long way. How about this? You and the officials from the Ministry of Rites welcome Ali and Zhuo in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. You first meet him for me."

The fifth elder brother was overjoyed, "Yes, my son obeyed."

Qianlong muttered to Fu Heng, "It is said that the princess of Huijiang was born with a strange fragrance and was extremely beautiful, Xiaochuner, have you heard of it?"

I've heard, from Mingrui, that they elope seven times a year.

Fu Heng couldn't listen to these words to Qianlong, coughed and asked, "Does the emperor want to get married?"

"Everyone has brought them, so it's not easy to return them." Qianlong smiled maliciously, "If Xiaochun'er is jealous, I can also refer the princess to the clan."

"I have never seen anyone with a strange fragrance in their lives. It can be seen that this princess must be deeply loved by Ali and Zhuo," Fu Heng said after considering, "It is quite sincere to dedicate the most beloved daughter to Long Live. Yes." In fact, from Fu Heng's point of view, any girl who has never eloped and is more polite is better.

Qianlong nodded with a smile, "Zhaohui told me about this Huijiang princess back then, but I just mentioned a little bit. I didn't expect Ali and Zhuo to send her here."

Sure enough, it's self-inflicted, and it can't be done.Fu Heng decided to shut up and say nothing more.
