He was busy with the special line of Yunnan and Guizhou all day long, and even if the Chinese New Year was about to be over, Heshen would not stop. He thought that after he had dealt with Bashrov, he would definitely go to Qianlong to complain, but when he saw Qianlong several times, he was like nothing had happened. Heshen was confused for several days. Logically speaking, this was not a trivial matter. Even if the Russians did not look for Qianlong, they would definitely not be able to hide the news from Qianlong. How could there be no movement?

After a few days of hard work, Heshen came to Yanxi Palace to deliver manuscripts to Concubine Qing. Qianlong happened to be there, and he laughed and talked a few words. Seeing that the atmosphere was good, he couldn't help but ask for the doubts in his heart.

Qianlong leaned comfortably on the pillow, moved his legs to the kang, and pointed his hand, "It's a little numb, knock it for me... Let Shanbao come. The bird's nest soup I bought here last time is good. If you have one, I'll give me a bowl. Well, I'll give Shanbao a bowl... I'm also saying, Heshen, this little brat, is quite heavy, can't help it today?"

Shanbao reluctantly knelt next to Qianlong and pinched his legs, thinking that he would forget it, just think you are my elder, look at the crow's feet at the corner of your eyes... but there was a smile on his face and said, "The master is the Buddha of Tathagata, and the slave is at best a sacred sac..."

Qianlong was amused by Heshen and immediately stopped him and asked, "Heshen, tell me, how should the relationship between countries be together?"

Heshen was stunned. He didn't expect Qianlong would ask such a general question. While thinking, he said: "I am still young and have no knowledge of such a big state affairs. The master must have experience, and I dare not..."

"Stop fooling me with words," Qianlong interrupted Heshen, glared at him, his thick brows suddenly frowned, his eyes wandered, and he said slowly: "The fifth brother told me about the matter that day, and he didn't even hide Bashrov's solid kneeling from me. I was a little confused. Did he treat them like that before? A small banquet for three days, a big banquet for five days, and a reward, let alone a bad gift, can't be said to be bad for them, but you also saw, what attitude do they have to treat me? When you were greeting, you knelt lightly, as if you were so reluctant. When you arrived at your place, you didn't say it, and you humiliated it mercilessly, and you actually kowtowed to Lao Wu to beg for mercy. Could it be that these people are all donkeys, and you don't want to eat and drink?"

No wonder Qianlong was confused. Since the beginning of the Holy Ancestor Kangxi, he has always been courteous to those guests from far away Moscow. Even when China and Russia were defeated by the Russians, they have always maintained the gentlemanly demeanor of the great Celestial Empire, but they have never received the true respect of the Russian devils. Now Heshen has dealt with Bashrov and has a solid kneeling. Although Qianlong did not see him personally, he always reorganized in his mind and always felt as fucked as eating a fly.

But no one can say this. Even a righteous person like Liu Tongxun said that Heshen had done it before and had lost his demeanor in the Celestial Empire, which made him think carefully about whether the style of a great country that he had always been proud of was right or wrong?

Today, Heshen, the person involved, took the initiative to ask, and naturally hesitated without hesitation.

Qianlong actually had doubts about his usual diplomatic strategies, which Heshen never dared to imagine. He heard Qianlong's words, which made him surprised and happy. He followed Qianlong's words: "Does the slave who is not punished for toasting or not eating, but the slave knows one thing. No one dares to bully him when he is powerful. For example, when the slave, when he was not successful, his mother took us two brothers, orphans and widows, and his mother's elder... all the neighbors and relatives said that they could come up to bully him... Once someone in Xian'an Palace bullied Helin, and we always endured it.

因为那里的人我们谁都惹不起.那次实在欺负的狠了,让和琳跪着舔他的鞋——士可杀不可辱呢,奴才就冲上去狠狠揍了他一顿,当时也是豁出去了,心里抱定了死也要出口气的念想,谁知道,打了他一顿之后,他非但没有找奴才们的麻烦,还好像怕了奴才们似的,处处绕着走,就连其他人都不怎么敢欺负了……”这当然是和珅瞎编的,量乾隆也不会去求证,见乾隆听的专注,不禁更加有了动力,继续说道:

"Master, you know that the slave is a little bit older... The older you are, the more obvious you are, many people are tempted, such as Fu Kang'an, who met the slave..."

Qianlong burst into laughter and said, "That brat, I'm still strange, you two..."

Seeing Qianlong's ambiguous smile, Heshen complained in his heart, "The upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked", and said with a smile: "Master, I'm wrong. We are brothers now. Since he killed the young master who called me Tu'er's husband on the Tongzhou wharf, he has never dared to have bad intentions again!"

Qianlong was stunned and said, "The country has laws, and killing people is always bad. If I hadn't seen you as a man, I would at least have to exile you..."

"Master, the slave kills people, only kills people who should be killed. Without reason, the slave dares not kill people randomly."

Qianlong thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case. He couldn't help but smile, "You are slippery, and others thought you were a bloodthirsty person, and even Elezette was scared by you..."

Heshen didn't want to get entangled in such a topic anymore, so he hurriedly took the topic back and said, "Master, since you ask me, I will talk about my little knowledge. I feel that the country is similar to that between people. Blind respect may not be exchanged for respect. Just as the Master said, 'Only women and villains are difficult to raise. If you are close, you will be resentful if you are not inferior to those who are far away, you will be resentful.' Just keep a moderate. Things that violate the bottom line must be dealt with severely. If you are afraid of the fight, you will give some sweetness. The so-called 'a stick and a sweet date' - people have the mentality of respecting the strong, the stronger they are, the more they respect from the bones. If the master doesn't believe it, isn't this just a war with Myanmar? Let's fight directly to Mang Jijue's nest and catch him for you. Let's see what his attitude is? It is guaranteed that he will be willing to give tribute!"

"According to your opinion, you cannot respect those Russians so much?" Qianlong asked hesitantly.

"Long live, I forgive the heart-warming words for my slave. Although Emperor Wu of Han was a military man and made people live in trouble, the submissive Xiongnu people who were dealt with by him must be afraid of him from the heart - 'Those who offend my great Han's power will be punished even if they are far away!' Every time I think of this sentence, I feel that the attack is hot from the heart, and I think, one day, we also say, 'Those who offend my great Qing Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!' No matter what Russia and Europa, they dare to look down on us, and they must show them the color... 'The Great Tsar Majesty', 'Almighty God', I bah, 'Long live is the lord of the world, and those people are only worthy of crawling at your feet... Think about it, whenever I wave my hand and all nations come to pay tribute, how powerful it is... I feel that my blood is boiling just by thinking about it!"

Qianlong was originally very fond of merit, but he was hidden under his gentle words and deeds on weekdays. Heshen's words were full of great temptation. Not to mention Heshen, even he felt that his blood was rising for a while, and his whole body was hot, as if he had suddenly become dozens of years younger.

However, in just a moment, he soon remembered the decaying officialdom. He sat upright, turned his head and looked out the window through the bright glass window. His vision became deep and distant. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze and sighed, and said leisurely: "Why don't you think about what you said? What is the power of civil and military affairs? Who is the emperor who doesn't pursue it? But now this officialdom...? Not to mention it, just your personal experience, Li Ru killed the official, Duan Chenggong was greedy for Mo, Gao Heng was greedy for Mo... Gao Heng was still my in-laws, so he treated me as a

Fools come to coax, and they all think that the rake in their hands is not wide enough. They weave squares of silver to hold money. The court is everywhere, and occasionally there is a clean official, which is even fresher than the four-dimensional image in the Wansheng Garden - the government is corrupt and the national treasury is empty. Do you have to use silver to fight? It’s just Burma, which has been delayed for two years. Not to mention military pay, the civilians who transport grain, the support of the local government, and calculated the accounts carefully. The cost of silver is more than ten million? What’s the result? The result is that Yang Yingju falsely reported his military merits, repeatedly defeated and won, and he used me as a fool..."

Hearing this, Heshen felt awe-inspiring in his heart and said to himself that Yang Yingju was over. Although he had a bit of a festive celebration with him, he still felt a little sad about the death of a rabbit and the fox.

"...It's better to be a slave like you..." Qianlong actually looked at Heshen lovingly and said, "Okay, stop pinching it... Concubine Qing handed over this month's silver to me, and it just so happened that the rest of the Yuanmingyuan was short of silver... You are a little crooked, and you are a good player to get money. A small flower ink span made you make a deal with Fu Kang'an and Lao Wu. Now you have made that immortal ointment. Even He Jing who offended you said hello, I have gained benefits from you, and alleviated the crisis of the shortage of copper pounds in the court... What's the point of asking me to say? The previous one told Concubine Qing that you are the lucky star sent to me by God. I was thinking about it and asked you to entitle the title of Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but you got another telegram, which made me not know what to do..." He smiled as he said.

At this moment, Qianlong did not have the majesty of a generation of masters, kind as an elder who admired his grandson. Infected by him, Heshen was also happy in his heart. He took out a family-style attitude and smiled at Qianlong and said, "The master praised him. If it weren't for the master's strict orders to the Qing people, the servant would not be able to earn this money. If it weren't for the master's tacit approval, the servant would not be able to earn this money. To be honest, don't blame the servants, if you want to talk about money, you really don't lack slaves now-

Ugh, aunt, and even the servants under his command have lived a good life with them. That's enough. How much money is there? These days, the slaves have entered the military aircraft and many gifts have been given. They didn't stop them and told the people that if there are gifts, they should accept them and keep the accounts. They just happened to be the special line of Yunnan and Guizhou. I don't know how much money they will be used. Then I will take them out and make up for them. Master thinks it's good?"

"You little brat," Qianlong cursed with a smile, "I heard about this, but I was still surprised. I didn't expect you to have the idea!"

Heshen smiled and then said, "By the way, there are no talents in the slave's house, and the accountant is the least. Today, the master is happy. I dare to ask for a reward and send some to the slave. Now that the family is big, my mother urges me to find a gentleman all day long, but this gentleman is not ready-made. I have to know the foundation, right? The slave is so big!"

Your aunt is the best accountant! Qianlong knew Heshen's little abacus well, and he nodded with relief and said, "This is easy to say. When you meet Gao Wuyong, just say to him, and let me tell you, let him find it from the Office of the Internal Affairs!"

After saying that, he pondered for a moment and said, "You are secretly selling opium to Japan. After all, it is not in line with the rules and is not justified? I have been thinking about this for a few days. In this way, I will give you a special order to allow you to trade with Japan, go to sea from Zhenjiang, and pay taxes to Jiangsu according to the example of Guangdong. In this way, even if some people want to gossip, they have nothing to say." After rotating the ring in their hand for a while, "As for opening the port, the matter is very important, I have to continue to look at it!"

"Zhu Zi wise!" This was a huge lottery. Heshen willingly kowtowed and thanked him. Then he raised his head and looked at Qianlong and said, "Master, there is another thing, I don't know whether to say it or not!"

"Well," Qianlong smiled. Concubine Cha Qing came in, followed by a palace maid holding a hot bird's nest soup. She signaled to put it on the table, asking Concubine Qing to sit with her. While taking a spoon and sipping it lightly, she said: "If you have something to say, it's just a good time to eat bird's nest!"

"Then I'm brave," Heshen said: "I have little knowledge and I think that the best defense is attack and a strong military strike capability. Let me ask, if I, the Qing Dynasty, had the ability to defeat any country, who would dare to provoke us? Therefore, I feel that not only the Yunnan-Guizhou special line, but also the top priority... The climate in Myanmar is not suitable, and it is foggy all year round. Otherwise, I would get hundreds of hot air balloons and bring in incendiary bombs, and how many Burmese soldiers would burn him clean."

"Well, this is not unreasonable, but as far as I know, the weapons in the hands of those Myanmar soldiers were bought from a "East India Company". They are more advanced than the clamps of our Qing Dynasty and are more adaptable to the climate there. Fu Heng and the others have paid attention to the talents in this field. After all, they can't come in a hurry. I'm also scratching my head about this matter. Could it be that you have any good methods?"

Heshen was a little surprised that Qianlong had these insights. He thought back and said, he was probably too influenced by later generations and always regarded these emperors of the Qing Dynasty as representatives of ignorance. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It turns out that the master is farther than the slave. In fact, this matter is very simple. Now that there is such a talent, Long live to know him!"

"Oh?" Qianlong became interested, threw the spoon into the bowl, staring at Heshen with a burning look, "Who is it? Let's hear it!"
