Rebirth of Qianlong

The imperial garden, as the garden in the imperial palace where the supreme beings live, has the most precious flowers and plants, unique scenery, beautiful buildings...the beauty here is fascinating.

However, no matter how delicious food is eaten for a month, it will make people sick to the stomach, and no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will be boring to see it for decades.Qianlong was very impatient to look around here, let alone look at the scenery here.But the premise is that no one is with him.If he was accompanied by his son, he would not mind coming here for a walk, the two of them had a good chat and gossip - since the Qianqing Palace is not a good place to increase the relationship between father and son.

"Huang Ama, actually, it's okay for us to discuss the court affairs in the study room, so we don't need to come here." Yongzhang sat on the stool in the pavilion a little uncomfortable, with the sparkling lake on one side and the exquisite rockery and flowers on the other, On the table in the middle, there were refreshments that looked delicious and fragrant Pu'er—this was his favorite.Although everything is perfect, Yongzhang is really not in the mood to miss Qianlong at the moment. He still remembers his preferences and asked people to give up Biluochun and Pu'er respectively. It is very unusual for the self who was assigned to him to appear in this imperial garden now, especially, these days, he will come here almost every time he enters the palace to talk about things.God knows how painful it is for him to be different, "Huang Ama, I'm here because of the household affairs you told your son last time... Isn't it a bit, inappropriate to say it here?"

Qianlong waved his hand indifferently: "Yongzhang, you have been asking this question for a few days. Didn't I say that, father and son, we don't need to talk about so many rules. Going to the study is too serious. Look here, the scenery Mingmei, we can easily drink tea and chat here. You, don’t think about what you have and what you don’t have, just relax, this is my order, don’t think too much, you understand?”

What else can Yongzhang say?He could only nod his head and said yes. "Then, Huang Ama, regarding the account of the Ministry of Finance, I..."

"Yongzhang!" Qianlong interrupted him, "Such a beautiful scenery, what are you worried about those accounts, first appreciate these. Come, have a drink and look at this tea, this is the 30-year-old Pu'er that was newly tributed, don't you just Like this, try it?"

Yongzhang smiled, took a sip of tea, thought about it, and couldn't help saying: "But Huang Ama, I'm still on an errand..."

Sometimes Qianlong really couldn't understand why Yongzhang was so stubborn, he said no, don't think about that.Really, can those little things in Hubu compare to enhancing the relationship between father and son with him?Qianlong thought a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it.It's funny, isn't he, he dared not show dissatisfaction with his son.Because he didn't want to see Yongzhang show that kind of defensive and suspicious expression to him again, fear him again, and distance himself from him.Forget it, just treat it as an obstacle in the journey to achieve the goal. Being angry now will only cause them to become unfamiliar, which is not in line with his hope: "Yongzhang, I said it before, don't think so much." Suddenly, looking at Yongzhang who tried his best to cover up, but could still see the disapproval and discomfort in his eyes, Qianlong compromised, "Okay, I understand, you miss your errand. It's not that I just said Let’s talk later? You also know that I spend every day in the Qing Palace, go to the study to deal with political affairs, and need a good rest, and I want to take a walk outside with you, it’s okay, right?”

Yongzhang was convinced.As long as it's not dereliction of duty or going out to play during working hours, all of this is not so difficult to accept.Besides, being with Qianlong, his Ama, was not difficult for him to accept. "It's my son who made a big fuss and ruined Huang Ama's mood. This son deserves to die."

Where did Qianlong see him blame himself so much: "What nonsense, that's what I said. Okay, now let's talk about the errands of your household department. How is it? How is the situation in the household department?"

Speaking of this, Yongzhang frowned: "This, Huang Ama..."

"What's the matter?" Qianlong was a little surprised at his hesitation, "What's the problem?"

Yongzhang looked at Qianlong, he looked puzzled, as if he didn't think anything would happen to the household department.Thinking of Qianlong's good face all the time, he felt more and more difficult to say what he wanted to say.But thinking of the account book of the household department that made his scalp tingle, Yongzhang still chose to say it: "Huang Ama, there is really a problem here."

"En?" Qianlong took a sip of the tea cup indifferently, the fragrant taste of Biluochun spread in his mouth, and the sweet taste flowed through every corner of the body along the blood vessels. It is indeed the best Biluochun, Qianlong thought , perhaps, he should reward those who paid tribute below.

Seeing Qianlong's reaction, Yongzhang knew that he didn't take his words to heart, and couldn't help being a little unhappy: "Huang Ama, I'm telling the truth!"

Such a serious look obviously exceeded Qianlong's expectations. Facing such Yongzhang, he restrained his smile and became serious: "What's wrong? Tell me." Household Department, Household Department, Household Department, what can happen here? The question... Qianlong's heart tightened, could it be that...

"Huang Ama, there is no money in the household department." Yongzhang said the last thing Qianlong wanted to hear, "I have carefully checked the account books of the household department for nearly ten years these days, and found that the money in the treasury is decreasing day by day. , the annual tax revenue is simply not enough to support the expenditure, and the current finances are in a mess."

"Nonsense!" Qianlong rebuked instinctively, but after a while, looking at Yongzhang's firm eyes, his anger subsided. After a long time, he found his voice and said with difficulty, "How bad is it?" By the way , he remembered, he had indeed squandered some over the years...but it was a mess?Hubu Shangshu never told him this.

"It's terrible!" Yongzhang said bluntly, "The money left by Huang Mafa has almost been used up because of the wars in the past few years. The current finances are a mess. Huang Ama, the current treasury is almost gone. empty!"

Really... Qianlong closed his eyes, feeling very uncomfortable. When he succeeded to the throne, the treasury was abundant, but now, in only twenty years, he actually squandered almost all the inheritance left by his Ama?Qianlong thought that if he really went there one day, he would never be ashamed to see his Ama.Thinking of Yongzheng's cold eyes, his expression of power without anger, Qianlong shivered, no, absolutely not, he would be frozen to death. "Yongzhang, come, tell me, to be more specific, what kind of bad method it is..."
