This time the case involved a lot, not only the officialdom in Gansu was empty, but even Zhejiang was greatly affected.

Originally, there were many people who were punished, but these criminal officials implicated even more people. If they were to sit together, then these two provinces, and even other provinces would be shaken up, and the shock would be too great.

Originally, the deficits of the provinces were huge. Qianlong exempted the deficits of many states and counties over the past year, but there are still many deficits that cannot be reduced. They made a lot of money, but they failed to make up for the shortfall. Instead, it snowballed and got bigger and bigger. Wang Danwang's incident made such a big fuss that all provincial officials couldn't help but feel in danger.

If Lian Zuo was seriously punished, the consequences of the subsequent shock may not be bearable by the entire officialdom.

Some people were afraid of this, and began to lobby Qianlong, trying to replace Lian Zuo with the money for negotiating crimes.Qianlong dealt with people and killed such people. To be honest, he was almost out of anger.

This time he didn't spare any sympathy. Looking at the trembling appearance of these people, Qianlong knew that they had learned this lesson.

But to continue the strict investigation, Qianlong couldn't bear it in his heart.He considered the overall situation, no matter whether it was strict investigation or severe punishment, the next blow to the officialdom would be too great and too heavy, and Qianlong did not want to hurt the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.If the investigation continues like this, officials in many provinces may have to be dismissed, and people's hearts will be unstable at that time. Even if there are enough candidates, Qianlong would not dare to take this risk.

This crime silver has a place to use again.Starting from Chen Huizu's brother Chen Yanzu, after receiving the crime money, these officials are no longer threatened by Lian Zuo.

The position of governor of Shaanxi and Gansu was vacant, and Qianlong didn't think about others at all. He immediately thought of Li Shiyao who was at home.Li Shiyao was taken away by him, but the treatment on his body did not do anything to him. I heard that he has been raised at home for the past few years, his body has recovered, his old injuries have healed, and his bones are much better than before.

The war in Gansu is still undecided, and the people who can fight the war trusted by Qianlong have errands. Even Agui went to Zhejiang to investigate the case when the war was slightly settled. Now that the case is over, Agui's side Feeling ready to move again, Ah Gui went back.

This time, Qianlong was very satisfied with He Lin's performance. He felt that He Lin was a talented person, and he wanted to send He Lin to Gansu to practice, but He Lin was still a bit young. Qianlong didn't treat He Lin as deeply as He Shen What's more, He Shen had been reused by Qianlong when he was young.

If He Lin were to take the lead alone again, I'm afraid it would cause disaster.The two brothers stood too high, and the more people would stare at them, out of the selfishness of cherishing talents, Qianlong didn't intend to let He Lin fight the war in Gansu alone.

Qianlong ordered Li Shiyao to be the acting governor, and then asked He Lin to follow Li Shiyao to Gansu to put down the rebellion.

It may take a year or two for Helin to come back.At the moment, he is focused on working hard for his career and making some achievements, but he is not very concerned about his marriage. He and Lin are in their early twenties now.

The children of ordinary families would have married long ago at his age, but He Lin didn't think about it at all.He wholeheartedly wants to earn a future and realize the ideal in his heart.

Fu Chang'an has only been with Heshen for a few years, and he has learned Heshen's style by ten percent. He Lin is Heshen's younger brother. Those who are in love, and how they love each other, the wife he wants to find is almost like this.

I don't love what my parents ordered me to say, I just want to find a girl like his elder brother and sister-in-law, who knows that he understands him, and he will love his beloved woman well.

His requirements are higher than those of Fu Changan.It's almost like not letting anyone intervene at all, he has to find it himself.

The people around him support him. Now that Fu Changan himself is happy and happy, he especially supports He Lin, telling him not to worry, as long as he has the heart, he will definitely meet a woman he knows and loves.

Heshen's attitude towards this matter is easy-going, as long as Lin is happy, this matter cannot be rushed, and there are many people who want to marry them and Lin, but this matter is all about fate, and they have to be with each other. Lynn can do it if she wants.

Both Helin and Feng Zhixi didn't worry about it, so they let Helin find the right person slowly, and they recognized him, and the two families got married again.I'm not very old in my early twenties, and it's time to earn a future. Since the opportunity comes at this moment, I just do it with confidence and boldness.

He Shen told He Lin not to worry about the future, don't worry about anything, just let go and do it.

But He Lin saw that He Shen was not very happy.

"Brother, the emperor ordered Li Shiyao to be the acting governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. There are still many ministers in the court who oppose it." Since hearing the news, his elder brother has not been very talkative.

In the court, he didn't talk much, but now he cherishes words like gold.I heard from Fu Chang'an that in the duty room of the Military Aircraft Department, his elder brother could answer with one word but not two, anyway, he could talk less if he could.

When I came back home, He Shen didn't hold it like this, but they were all He Shen's relatives, and they had been with He Shen for so many years. not tall.Even if he was with Brother Run, He Shen didn't let go of his worries.

"So what if you object?"

He Shen said lightly, "The emperor doesn't take these objections seriously at all."

He Shen let go of his hands and feet and tried it for a while, and the result was good at first. When Li Shiyao was hired by Qianlong again, He Shen knew that Qianlong hadn't changed at all. He had fantasies about Qianlong, and this fantasy has long since disappeared shattered.

It is almost impossible to count on Qianlong to clear up the atmosphere in the officialdom.

If Qianlong really wanted to clean up the atmosphere, the matter of negotiating crimes and donations should not be tolerated. After handling the cases in Gansu and Zhejiang, they should be dealt with. However, there was no movement from Qianlong, and He Shen knew it. There is absolutely no hope here in Qianlong.

He Lin is well aware of He Shen's series of actions, and He Shen's ideals and ambitions, as a younger brother, are [-] supportive, and they will do whatever He Shen wants them to do.

But seeing He Shen's calm expression now, He Lin's heart is not sure. He also understands that Qianlong's appearance means that his brother's ideals and ambitions cannot be fulfilled.

"Brother, what do you want to do next?"

He Lin put herself into his brother's situation and thought for a while, and found that if it was him, he might not know what to do next.After all, no matter how hard you try, if the emperor does not cooperate at all, this matter will not be done.

He Shen laughed: "You go to Gansu and put down the rebellion. Do your own errands well, and don't care about the rest. Don't ask around."

He Shen still has to ask, "You go to Gansu, you don't have to get too close to Li Shiyao, and you don't care about his affairs, even if there is something wrong with his deeds, you have to pretend that you don't know it, and everything is up to you." Your own errands are the main thing. If someone has something against him, and the emperor asks you, I will still say the same thing, you have to pretend that you don’t know anything, because you are busy with errands and know nothing about his affairs , and the rest need not be said.”

He Lin heard what He Shen said, as if she was sure that something would happen to Li Shiyao again, so she asked this question while there was no one around, and asked He Shen quietly if he planned to do something to Li Shiyao.

He Shen couldn't help sneering, and then said: "Li Shiyao has been idle at home for two or three years, and he has been quiet for two or three years, but the quietness in these two or three years was forced by pretending, you really think he just changed his mind. Is it new? The quietness for the past two or three years is to avoid the limelight. The emperor is so partial and pampering him. He doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with him, otherwise he wouldn't have shrunk to this point. But when he arrives in Gansu, he becomes the deputy governor. position, he won’t be quiet for long before he will definitely relapse.”

"At that time, I don't need to do anything at all. Naturally, people who don't like him will come out to impeach him. At that time, the contradictions and conflicts between the court and China will definitely intensify. You don't have to care about the court in Gansu. You can handle it well. Just do your own errands well, and these military exploits in the future will be your way of advancement."

He Lin has always listened to He Shen's words the most, and He Shen asked him to do this, and He Lin agreed immediately.

After Li Shiyao arrived in Gansu, as He Shen said, he only stayed quiet for a while, and then returned to his old ways.

There were many people who were dissatisfied with the result of Li Shiyao's corruption at the beginning. It was only after Emperor Qianlong said that the result was established, and the officials could not say anything more. However, Li Shiyao was reappointed and sent to Gansu to quell the war. With Qianlong's trust, the courtiers who were already dissatisfied with the results were even more unhappy in private.

Just like what He Shentong and He Lin said, if he doesn't need to do anything, someone will naturally stare at Li Shiyao and report to Qianlong about Li Shiyao's violation of law and discipline again in Gansu.

Li Shiyao bent the law for personal gain in his tenure in Gansu, and collected public funds for embezzlement. These things were reported to Qianlong, which caused an uproar in the court, and Qianlong could not ignore it.

This time, the person who sued Li Shiyao has experience. Unlike the last time, when Li Shiyao was escorted to Beijing, the evidence came out. Instead, he attached the evidence at the same time as the lawsuit. He had to be escorted back to Beijing, because the public opinion in the DPRK and China was too fierce, and Qianlong could no longer make decisions arbitrarily.

The case in Gansu and Zhejiang has not been over for a long time, and the shadow left by those who were dealt with still hangs over the officialdom. Even the people who sat down paid the crime money to keep their jobs. They were actually able to stand on Li Shiyao's side , after all, they really don't want someone to be killed again.

But they have just experienced the Gansu fraudulent relief case, and they are still in shock. They managed to keep their jobs and really don't want to get involved in another case. Besides, even if they come out to speak, they may not be able to truly To keep Li Shiyao, besides, maybe it will anger Qianlong, reminding him of the anger of the accident in Gansu before, if they are brought out and punished again, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?

The silence of one party makes the voice of the other party louder.

He Shen told He Lin not to get involved, and he himself directly stated his position when the incident happened. He advocated that Li Shiyao's case should be strictly investigated and tried. Now that there is evidence, it needs to be verified. disposal.

Not only He Shen, but also many ministers of military aircraft in the Military Aircraft Department agreed with him, thinking that Li Shiyao's repeated occurrences of such situations can no longer tolerate partiality, and should be strictly investigated and judged.

The pressure on Qianlong's side is still very high. Last time, he was able to withstand the pressure of the officials in the court and insisted on keeping Li Shiyao.

Li Shiyao made a mistake again this time. According to Qianlong's original intention and selfishness, he still wanted to save Li Shiyao, but He Shen and other military ministers were determined, and the voices in the court also wanted to deal with Li Shiyao. It gave Qianlong a feeling that if he didn't deal with Li Shiyao, it would be like committing public outrage.

Qianlong didn't like this feeling very much, but there was no way to do it, and the king and emperor couldn't really do whatever he wanted.Although Qianlong really wanted to follow his own heart, Qianlong had a hunch that the consequences seemed to be beyond his ability to bear.

Qianlong finally gritted his teeth and took Li Shiyao back to Beijing, and then dealt with it according to the law.

——Break the decision.

In fact, speaking of it, Qianlong was willing to kill Li Shiyao this time and compromise to the ministers, which was also expected by He Shen.

But it is also obvious that Qianlong's attitude towards Heshen has cooled down again.

This time, He Shen clearly stated his attitude first. His words when the military plane was in the court, those speeches that did not support the atmosphere of offering donations and the crime of silver, made Qianlong feel a little cold.

Qianlong seems to have finally realized that the young man who he thought was the most caring and understanding of his mind in the court seems to have changed, or in other words, this young man may have never changed, it is his official position in these years During his career, he gradually strengthened his own path.

Qianlong originally thought that what Heshen valued the most was his own emperor, and he should be the most considerate of him.

But now, because of the so-called beliefs in his heart, he doesn't cater to himself and is not caring anymore, so no matter how powerful he is, what's the use of it?

Just because of Li Shiyao, if he is so stubborn, if something happens in the future, and He Shen has his own ideas again, wouldn't he disobey him and contradict him, the emperor again?

Qianlong subconsciously began to think about Heshen again.The more I pondered, the angrier I became.

He Shen couldn't control what Qianlong thought, Li Shiyao made a decision, he got what he wanted, and the unhealthy trend in the court was once again contained.The court is not peaceful, and there are still many disturbing voices.

But all his thoughts were still at home.Feng Zhixi has already confirmed that she is pregnant with twins.There are two healthy babies growing in the womb.
