With a smile on his face and a pair of dead fish eyes, He Zhongtang replied: "In reply to Lord Long Live, I think that no matter whether Mingxing has the ability to lead an army or not, at least his loyalty to Lord Long Live is obvious.

of."

"Think about it, Mingxing did not completely put the blame on others, but took the initiative to take the responsibility, and Uncle Fu took the initiative to excuse Mingxing. This shows that we Manchurians are still united."

At this point, He Zhongtang's face was full of sighs and sighs: "I remember, there is a story on the grassland, it is said that one chopstick is easy to break, but ten chopsticks can't be broken, so as long as we Manchurians unite as one, we can work together

If we are closely surrounding the Long Live Lord, then no matter how big the noise of these rebellious bandits is, it is just a temporary act of heroism and will not become a climate."

"As for Zhu Ni and Chen Tailai reported by Mingxing, and the Bagua sect reported by Uncle Fu, in fact, the relationship between the two is one and two, and two and one. I think there is no need to distinguish them so clearly."

Qian Deafangou snorted and said, "Why do you use this unnecessary method? Tell me?"

He Zhongtangmin agreed and replied: "In my opinion, whether it is Zhu Ni, the Bagua Sect, or the local farmers' associations, they are actually just a group of mud-legged people who can't survive and want to fight.

It’s just a way to survive. This can be seen through the exchanges between Uncle Fu and Mingxing.”

"As for Chen Tailai, the governor of the river, he may not have colluded with the rebel bandits as Ming Xing said. He must have failed to suppress the bandits one after another. He was worried that the court would hold him accountable for his ineffective suppression of the bandits, so he rashly raised the flag.

raised the flag of rebellion.”

Qian Deafangou snorted again and asked: "In your opinion, how should we deal with this Chen Tailai?"

He Zhongtang said: "In my opinion, it is best to appease first and then kill."

Qian Deaf Old Gou hummed and did not respond to He Zhongtang's suggestion. Instead, he slowly calculated the gains and losses in his mind. Ji Yun and Ji Xiaolan, who were also waiting beside Qian Deaf Old Gou, laughed and smacked their lips tightly.

Taking two puffs of cigarette pot, he mocked: "He Zhongtang is really a good suggestion. First appease the governor of Hedao who raised the flag of rebellion because he was worried about the court's accountability. You are planning to make other officials in the world follow Chen Tailai's example. Once you make mistakes one after another, you just need to raise the flag."

If you raise a rebellion, can you wait for the imperial court to appease you?"

"It would be fine if it was just like this, but He Zhongtang, why do you want to kill him again? Are you kidding about the credibility of the court?"

Having said this, Ji Xiaolan turned to Qian Deafangou, bowed and said: "I'm going to report to the Emperor. I think what your Majesty said is inappropriate."

Qian Deafangou still gave a faint hum, glanced at Ji Xiaolan imperceptibly, and asked: "In your opinion, what should we do?"

Ji Xiaolan bowed and said: "I am reporting to the Emperor. I think that since Chen Tailai dares to rebel, he should send a large army to suppress him. If he is appeased, wouldn't everyone in the world follow suit?"

"There are also the Zhu Ni case in Yanzhou and the Bagua religious case in Caozhou. As He Zhongtang said, the people rebelled only when they really couldn't survive. Therefore, I thought it was appropriate to send the imperial censor to Yanzhou and Caozhou to investigate those people who were forced to rebel by the government.

Officials, if not, I’m afraid we in the Qing Dynasty don’t know how many corrupt officials like them are doing harm to the people!”

Having said this, Ji Xiaolan took two more puffs of the cigarette pot, and then continued: "They are greedy for money, but what they have ruined is the reputation of my Qing Dynasty, and what they have damaged is Long Live Lord's country. If they don't kill them, I'm afraid they won't be enough."

The common people are angry!”

Qian Deafangou still gave a faint hum and said: "Okay, I have my own opinion on this matter."

After finishing speaking, Qian deaf old dog turned to He Zhongtang and said: "Drawing up the decree, I ordered the great scholar Fu Heng to lead the Eight Banners Army and 3,000 people from the Firearms Battalion to Caozhou to first put down the rebellion of the Bagua Sect."

"Agui, the great scholar, dispatched the imperial envoys to guard the country, and rushed from Tianjin to Shandong to supervise the division; he also ordered the prince-in-law Nawang Dorji and Zuodu censor Asiha to lead 2,000 soldiers of the second battalion of Jianrui Firearms to go to Yizhou to suppress

Zhu Ni."

"As for Chen Tailai..."

After Qian Deafangou pondered for a while, he said: "I'll do it according to your wishes."

He Zhongtang immediately responded with a sigh, but Ji Xiaolan said anxiously: "Long live Lord, think again! If you follow Master He's wishes, I'm afraid everyone in the world will dare to imitate Chen Thief, like..."

Before Ji Xiaolan finished speaking, Qian Deafou suddenly opened his eyes that had been half-closed and shouted angrily: "Get out!"

Ji Xiaolan was stunned by the scolding. Instead, she and Zhongtang grabbed Ji Xiaolan and resigned together to Qian Deafangou.

After leaving Qian Deaf Old Dog's bedroom, Ji Xiaolan frowned and said to He Zhongtang: "Master He, long live the Lord..."

He Zhongtang laughed loudly and said in a strange way: "Ji Xiaolan, Ji Xiaolan, you think you are the only smart person in the world, don't you? In your eyes, this dignified Lord Zhongtang is just a jester who is lucky enough to be promoted, and is not comparable to you.

Mr. Ji Da is knowledgeable, isn't he? You are the only one in the world who is a loyal and loyal minister, and the rest are all just flattering villains like me, right?"

Ji Xiaolan frowned and said, "Master He, I didn't say that."

"Okay, okay, you didn't say that, that's what you meant," He Zhongtang said impatiently: "I admit that Mr. Ji Da is a well-educated and upright man. Apart from finding women five times a day, he has nothing to do.

The other problems are like the reincarnation of a saint, and I and I are treacherous villains, okay?"

Ji Xiaolan was immediately furious.

Damn it, they say you don’t slap someone in the face when you hit someone, and you don’t expose someone’s shortcomings when you scold someone. How come you and Gentleman are so different from each other?

When He Shen saw that Ji Xiaolan was in a hurry, he immediately raised his hand, pointed at Ji Xiaolan and said, "Don't blame me for talking about you, because you really should!"

Ji Xiaolan suppressed the anger in her heart and asked, "Would you like to hear the details?"

He Shen snorted and said, "Then let me ask you, what does Chen Tailai do?"

"Rebellious traitor," Ji Xiaolan said: "Before the rebellion, he was just a river governor. Don't you and Zhongtang still be able to cure him?"

He Shen sneered again and said: "Let me tell you Ji Da Yandian, neither you nor Liu Guozi, who got up by relying on literary inquisition, are actually not in the eyes of me and Er, let alone him as a river governor.

.”

Ji Xiaolan was slightly angry in her heart, but she also knew that what He Shen said was the truth. She could only snort at that moment, and quickly took two puffs of the cigarette pot, and asked: "Since you and Zhongtang are so powerful, why do you need to recruit them first?"

Chen Tailai, and then kill him? Why can't we just send troops to suppress it?"

He Shen snorted disdainfully and said: "Otherwise, how can you say that you are stupid for studying? Oh, your Lord Ji only sees that Chen Tailai is just a second-grade river governor, but you don't see that his subordinates are also stupid.

Are there millions of water workers?”

"Millions of water workers, Lord Ji! Millions!"

He Shen stretched out a finger and waved it in front of Ji Xiaolan. After shaking it back and forth several times, he continued: "In addition to the millions of water workers and water transportation, do you know where the food in the capital comes from?

of?"

At this point, He Shen suddenly slapped his forehead: "By the way, you Ji Da Yandian will definitely say that those grains are grown by the common people with hard work. That's right."

Ji Xiaolan said angrily: "If it wasn't grown by the common people through hard work, could it be that you and the adults bought it with money?"

He Shen was not angry, but smiled and said: "Buy? No matter how rich I and Shen are, can we still afford to buy the food that supplies the entire capital? Let me tell you Ji's big tobacco bag, which is worth one million cans of my Qing Dynasty.

The work is transported by water, ship by ship, to the capital!"

"Now that Chen Tailai, the governor of the river, has rebelled, what will happen to his millions of canal workers? You kill them all too? Huh? If you don't kill them all, how can you suppress Chen Tailai? Huh? If you can't suppress Chen Tailai, the capital will soon

We will face soaring food prices. When that happens, you won’t even be able to buy food with your money! How many people do you want to starve to death? Huh?”

Ji Xiaolan was a little confused by He Shen's series of rhetorical questions. It took him a long time to react, and said angrily: "Even if you recruited Chen Tailai because of this, why did you kill him?"

He Shen sneered disdainfully again and said, "If we don't kill him, how can we let all the officials in the world imitate him?"

Ji Xiaolan asked again: "Then how do you and your Excellency know that the recruitment will be successful?"

He Shen laughed and said: "I know? What do I know? I only know that Chen Tailai raised the flag of rebellion because he failed to suppress the bandits repeatedly, because he was afraid that he would be implicated when the court held him accountable.

His parents, wife and children.”

"So, as long as you tell him that he is the only one who died, and his son can still be favored and can study in the Imperial College, if it were you, what would you choose?"

"Also, you said that you will send censors to Yanzhou, Yizhou, Caozhou and other places to conduct thorough investigations. Then I ask you, what do you want to investigate? Who is being investigated for corruption?"

Ji Xiaolan said: "Shouldn't we investigate? This is a government-forced rebellion, sir!"

He Shen snorted and said: "The officials are forcing the people to rebel? There are so many corrupt officials in this world. Can you check them? Also, there are so many people who can't live in this world. How can we go anywhere else?"

Didn’t the common people rebel?"

At this point, He Shen suddenly asked another completely unrelated question: "Let me ask you, where are we almost now?"

Ji Xiaolan was stunned and replied: "Jinan Mansion."

He Shen clapped his hands and said, "Yes, Jinan Prefecture. Then let me ask you again, what is the surname of the prefect of Jinan?"

Only this time, He Shen didn't wait for Ji Xiaolan's answer and asked himself: "The surname of Mingxing, the prefect of Jinan, is Fucha. Then let me ask you again, what is the surname of Empress Xiaoxian Chun? Her surname is still Fucha, and

She is the biological sister of University Scholar Fu Heng!"

"And that Uncle Fukang Anfu, even me and I have to call you Uncle Fu. What's going on? You, Ji Xiaolan, are not deaf or blind. You should know what's going on, right? Long Live the Lord has counted it.

Why are you not entering Jinan? Then why are you going to Jinan this time? Now you still dare to say that you will send people to investigate Yanzhou Prefecture?"

Ji Xiaolan was once again confused by He Shen's question.

Ji Xiaolan found that each of these questions seemed to be able to be answered. However, after connecting these questions together, Ji Honglan found in despair that she could not figure out the relationship at all.

After being stunned for a long time, He Shen finally figured out the answers to these questions himself: "Empress Xiaoxian Chun was on a southern tour with the emperor, but she unexpectedly died on the way back to Beijing, near Jinan. Do you think Long Live the Lord said that she would never die?

Why did you set foot in Jinan City again? Long live the Lord because he is afraid of seeing things and missing people, and is afraid of thinking of Empress Xiaoxian and Chun!"

"And this time, Lord Long Live knows that this is his last southern tour, so he has to enter Jinan, because Lord Long Live is still missing Empress Xiaoxian Chun!"

"Do you think Mingxing is just a governor of Jinan? Huh? Think about his surname! Let me tell you, he is actually guarding Jinan Mansion on behalf of Lord Long Live and guarding Empress Xiaoxian Chun. Therefore, there are many problems under his rule.

What do a few rebels mean? Look at Xing Xing, who are you giving eye drops to?"

"Even if you don't mention this, just relying on Uncle Fu's face, can't you still protect Fucha Mingxing?"

After he finished speaking, He Shen suddenly laughed again and said, "Okay, okay, don't think about it anymore. It's time to go to court now. It's time for you to find a woman again, isn't it?"

Ji Xiaolan was sweating profusely after being told by He Shen. She couldn't help but snorted, cupped her hands towards He Shen, and said, "Goodbye!"

He Shen smiled slightly and said, "I won't give it away."
