Fu Chang'an and He Lin talked about this matter vigorously, and He Shen didn't say much by the side. He took care of Feng Zhixi wholeheartedly. It seemed that he didn't care about the conversation between Fu Chang'an and He Shen.

Feng Zhixi has recuperated for so long, her backache and daily sleepiness are indeed better, but because of her pregnancy, He Shen is still not at ease. The food is more refined, and the portion of the food now is much larger than before.

He Shen now has Feng Zhixi in his heart. If Feng Zhixi hadn't stopped him, he would have asked Qianlong to ask for leave. He wanted to stay at home with Feng Zhixi until after Feng Zhixi gave birth, and then go back to work when the child grows up.

He Shen even thought that it would be okay to accompany his wife to have a baby at home first, and then talk about running errands when the child is older. As soon as he told Feng Zhixi about this idea, Feng Zhixi stopped him.

Feng Zhixi embraced the ideals and ambitions he had talked about, and later ordered him not to go to Qianlong. Besides, Qianlong would definitely not agree. You must know that he is so passive and sabotage. I am afraid that Qianlong, who has never scolded him, is really going to die again. angry.

The main reason is that the wife does not support it, and there is no way to refute what she said, so He Shen has no choice but to compromise and let go of this idea.But when he was at home, he still had to take care of Feng Zhixi in all aspects, but he was too lazy to take care of the court affairs.

If He Shen didn't express his opinion, Fu Chang'an felt uncertain. After he and He Lin had said enough, Fu Chang'an turned to He Shen: "Brother He? What do you think?"

Seeing that Feng Zhixi was full, He Shen motioned for him to eat too, then he smiled slightly, drank a small bowl of soup, then looked at Fu Chang'an and said, "The emperor called me two days ago and told me about the garden. Although it is comfortable to live in, it is not as good as Jiangnan after all. The emperor still wants to make a southern tour. After a while, the southern tour will be decided, and the imperial edict will come down."

Qianlong had the idea of ​​making another southern tour, and Heshen knew about it himself, and Yinglian also told him several times.

He Shen had the idea of ​​trying to persuade Qianlong not to go on the southern tour, but he only said a few words at that time, and Qianlong was not very happy.Said that there was no room for discussion on this matter, and He Shen was not allowed to continue talking, but just informed him and let He Shen back down.

He Shen knew that this matter could not be persuaded for a while, so he gave up.

Fu Chang'an was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why He Shen suddenly mentioned this matter.

In fact, most people in the imperial court had already guessed Qianlong's intention to make another southern tour, but no decree had been made yet, and no one knew the exact date.

He Shen was the first minister Qianlong told after he decided on the idea of ​​making a southern tour and the time of the tour.

Seeing that Fu Chang'an couldn't figure out the connection for a long time, He Lin couldn't help but remind him: "My brother means that the emperor has been thinking about the southern tour these days, and the emperor may not take your matter to heart. The elder brother of your family wants to attack and target you, and the outcome of the matter may not be as he wished. You don't have to worry too much. "

Fu Changan thought to himself, is that so?

Probably the image of He Shen in his mind was too unpredictable, Fu Changan always felt that what He Shen said at this time was not as simple as what He Lin said.

Feng Zhixi, who heard what He Lin said, couldn't help laughing. She looked at He Lin and said, "Your brother didn't mean that. What your brother meant was that it was very easy for An Ming to deceive himself at this juncture. He was targeted by the Holy One."

In fact, only Yinglian knows about Heshen taking over the job of the household department and needing to raise money for Qianlong, and only Yinglian and Feng Zhixi know about Heshen's plans and thoughts.Or there were a few close officials in front of Qianlong in the court who knew about this matter, but they had no access to this errand, and they were all cautious people, so they would not bring this matter up and gossip about it.

He Shen didn't talk to He Lin about it, so He Lin didn't know about it at all, and only thought that his elder brother took over Ying Lian's errand normally.

Therefore, not only He Lin could not understand what Feng Zhixi said, but even Fu Chang'an could not understand it.

He Lin asked when he didn't understand, but Feng Zhixi smiled and stopped talking, and asked He Shen again, He Shen also smiled and said nothing, just said lightly: "You will know later."

Or back to the matter before him, He Shen gave Fu Changan a reassurance, telling him not to worry about it: "The emperor not only transferred you to the military aircraft department, but also gave you an errand in the Ministry of Industry. I hope that you will not be dismissed easily. This matter is not unclear, and if it can be found out, people will not frame you for nothing. You just tell the truth."

"My wife is right. At this juncture, the emperor's eyes will only be on An Ming, not you."

Neither He Lin nor Fu Chang'an understood He Shen's words very well, but they believed what He Shen said. Fu Chang'an complained and got He Shen's reassurance, and he was not as angry as before.

There were a lot of people involved in the impeachment of Chang'an and Anming, and the matter was fueled by people with good intentions. Qianlong soon found out about it, and asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate to intervene in the investigation. Within ten days, they found out The results come.

Qianlong was very annoyed that An Ming himself could pass the assessment, but he had to give gifts to Fu Chang'an twice and three times.In particular, Fu Chang'an was promoted by Qianlong to the Military Aircraft Department, but someone deliberately framed him in such a way, which made Qianlong very displeased.

There will soon be a decree for the handling of this matter.

Qianlong really wanted to kill this situation this time, and he was also determined to deal with An Ming, and all his anger was vented on An Ming.He decreed that An Ming would be executed, and his family property would be confiscated.

As for Fu Chang'an, because he did not receive any money, he will not be dealt with.

The family property confiscated from An Ming's house surprised all the ministers.Not counting the gold and silver jewelry real estate farms, the silver taels confiscated from An Ming amounted to more than two hundred thousand taels, not counting the gold nuggets.

When the news reached Qianlong, Qianlong's heart moved, and he sent someone to find Heshen.

He Shen just saluted Qianlong, and Qianlong asked He Shen to get up.

It's late autumn now, and winter is about to come, Qianlong felt that living in the garden was more spacious than the palace, so he didn't want to go back to the palace, and wanted to stay in the garden for a longer time, and then go back to the palace directly after returning from the southern tour.

Qianlong stayed in the house all morning reading the booklets and felt a little bored. Just in time, He Shen came and saw that the weather outside was fine and the autumn was crisp, so he took He Shen out of the house and asked He Shen to accompany him to the garden. Go for a walk.

Qianlong told Li Yu: "You all follow from a distance. Don't come close, I will talk to He Shen."

Li Yu complied, and when Qianlong led He Shen into the garden, he and the guards followed at a distance, but he didn't dare to stay too far away, lest Qianlong ordered them to fail to keep up.As long as you keep a certain distance, you can't hear the conversation between the emperor and your lord.

There is a maple forest in the garden. This season, the maple leaves are fiery red, and it is really beautiful to walk in the forest.

Qianlong seemed to be in a good mood, seeing that there was no one around, he smiled at He Shen and said, "You told me the day before yesterday that if you want to tour the south, the cost will be huge, I'm afraid there will be some pressure on money. You have taken over the household department for so long now, and you have been working as an errand for so long, have you not paid me for the money in terms of expenses?"

The emperor of the Qing Dynasty heard his ministers say that the money in the treasury was not enough, he still kept it in his heart, thought of a way to care about the progress of his ministers' errands, and took this matter to heart, and he didn't even force him to return it to him. He thought of a way, and Qianlong felt that he, the emperor, was really caring enough.

If someone else said this, Qianlong would have been impatient.Even Yinglian back then dared not say a word about these things in front of him.

Qianlong felt that he was very tolerant now, or in other words, he was so tolerant only to He Shen.Who made He Shen understand his mind so well and have the ability to do things?Qianlong thought, since I am the Son of Heaven, it is a little bit more sympathetic.

He Shen lowered his eyes and said, "Go back to the emperor, the servant is thinking of a way."

Qianlong didn't expect that such a capable person like him is still thinking about it now, but Qianlong didn't pursue it. Instead, he smiled and said in a good mood: "Then you continue to think about it. However, I want to remind you that these days are over. It’s almost here, and I’ll leave it to you for this southern tour. You have to make good arrangements for me, just like what Yinglian arranged for me back then. No, it’s better than that.”

After finishing speaking, Qianlong smiled and said, "I am not trying to force you. I will also keep your words in my heart. You should know about An Ming's case. The Ministry of Punishment has no family property from his family, and there are more than [-] taels of silver. Ten thousand taels, I don’t care about the others. I will decide for the more than two hundred thousand taels of silver, and put it into this expenditure, it will be regarded as coming from the national treasury. In this way, you can also solve your problem It's urgent."

Qianlong originally thought that this idea would make He Shen frown, but he didn't want He Shen to frown as soon as he finished speaking.

Qianlong's enthusiasm did not get the expected response, and he was a little displeased immediately: "Why, you don't want to?"

Are you still unhappy here?

He Shen lowered his eyes, covering the shallow light in his eyes, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, according to the rules, all property lost from An Ming's family should be confiscated and confiscated into the national treasury. But it should not be used as the cost of the southern tour. In essence, you know the current state of the treasury. The previous southern tours cost a lot of money. The two hundred thousand taels of silver are far from enough."

"When I took over the Ministry of Households, I told you about the situation. At that time, you knew that the treasury had no money. Later, when you were going to tour the south, the slave also said that the treasury and silver were really difficult to support. The urgent need of the slave is not these two More than one hundred thousand taels of silver can be solved. Moreover, this is not the urgent need of the slaves, but the urgent need of the Qing Dynasty."
