Just when Ruan Yuan was working hard to protect the armor, rectify the coastal defense, and prepare to fight the pirates, Jiaqing's edict to Na Yancheng had also been sent to Xi'an. According to the meaning of Jiaqing's edict, Na Yancheng's efforts were in vain, causing Ma Wu, a sophomore in high school, to flee into Sichuan.

This was a serious dereliction of duty, so Na Yancheng was immediately dismissed and returned to the capital. Na Yancheng was also aware of the war in Sichuan. Kuilun committed suicide a few days ago, and Addis was exiled to Xinjiang. He was asked to be responsible for the previous impeachment of Song Yun, Hengrui and others.

Ren Chuantong Yiqi greatly regretted his move. On that day, he went to Lu Youren's Chief Envoy before heading north, explained to Lu Youren his failure to fulfill his duties, and informed Lu Youren of all his plans for building forts and strengthening walls and clearing out the wilderness.

, and recommended to Jiaqing's superiors that Lu Youren be appointed governor of Shaanxi to continue to rectify Shaanxi's defense.

Not long after, Na Yancheng had returned to the capital. His wife Yunxian saw that he had still been away from the war. Her expression was both sad and tired, and she hurriedly welcomed him into the house. Previously, Addis was deprived of his title, and all the long houses of Zhangjia were confiscated.

Yunxian saw the dispatch of Yili, and naturally knew what happened to Na Yancheng on the front line, so he also comforted Na Yancheng and said: "Dongfu, I... I also heard a little bit about what you did in Shaanxi and Gansu.

I don’t believe that you are so talented that you can’t even catch a few thieves. It must be my Amma who made things difficult for you in Xi’an, right? If so, you... you will tell the story of the matter when you see the emperor, one or five

If you tell me everything, maybe the emperor will see that you are diligent and can absolve you of your sins?"

Na Yancheng naturally knew that his wife's words were to ask him to shift all the responsibility to Hengrui in times of crisis. As time passed, although he could not find out everything about Hengrui's frame-up of Songyun, he could find out by visiting Xi'an.

The servants of the General's Mansion had some clues. Thinking back, Songyun had no intention of delaying the move, but he and Hengrui fell in love with him. How could he not feel any guilt in his heart for such behavior?

? And Yunxian's words clearly showed that Hengrui was treacherous and he did not hesitate to sever ties with his father. After hearing this, he felt even more ashamed and could not hold his head up in front of his wife.

By now, Na Yancheng also knew that even if he told the truth one by one according to his wife's words, he was first attacked at night by the White Lotus Sect, and then trusted Hengrui, wrongly harming Zhongliang, and finally failed to arrest the sophomore in high school in time.

Ma Wu allowed them to enter Sichuan. Even if Hengrui conspired to get him into trouble for these mistakes, how could he not be responsible for any oversight? If he really claimed that he had no fault at all, Jiaqing would definitely accuse him of being cowardly and afraid of getting into trouble. At that point, he

Adding guilt to crime, I am afraid that Hengrui cannot be saved, and Zhang Jia's sect will be completely ruined. He has to bear the blame on his own in order to ask for Jiaqing's forgiveness. He said to Yunxian: "Madam said this, I... I am really...

Ashamed, I have neglected my duties to some extent in matters on the front line. I met with the Emperor today and I have my own sense of proportion, so don’t worry, Madam." After that, he went in and had a quick lunch. In the afternoon, he entered the palace and arrived.

In front of Jiaqing.

Jiaqing looked at Na Yancheng, feeling unspeakably angry in his heart, but he still suppressed his anger for a while, took out a memorial beside him, and said: "You should also come and take a look. Just a month ago, Delengtai sent it back

According to the report, Delengtai and the bandit leader Ran Tianyuan faced each other. The thieves set up an ambush and attacked each other on eight sides. Delengtai persisted in fighting to the death, and finally turned defeat into victory, killing Ran Tianyuan at his horse. Na Yancheng, you are also the one who leads the army.

, What do you have to say about such a memorial?"

Na Yancheng knew clearly that Jiaqing told him this memorial because he wanted him to admit his mistakes in the frontline war. But once he admitted it, he would definitely tell the story about Hengrui, and he would be condemned and shirk responsibility. In desperation, he had to He replied: "Your Majesty, this... I know that General De Lengtai is a good person and a good person. He has always been known as a lucky general. This time he beheaded the thief, which is also a blessing to the Qing Dynasty..."

"Na Yancheng! I sent you to the front line to lead the army, just for your auspicious words?" Jiaqing heard Na Yancheng's words, and immediately became furious, saying: "You are also a second-ranked Jinshi, and you are familiar with the words of saints. , and you are the grandson of Duke Awencheng. I always thought that you were of great use in both civil and military affairs, so I sent you to lead the troops on the front line. But what about now? You spent more than half a year in Shaanxi and Gansu, and you just brought me this sentence Auspicious person and heaven?! According to what you said, the victory or defeat of this war does not depend on humans but on heaven, right? Then what use do I want you for? I ask you, why did you delay in pursuing the thieves in Gansu when they were in the second grade of high school and the fifth grade of horse? , causing the thieves to flee into Sichuan and destroy the town of two members of the Qing Dynasty?! Can you afford such a crime of oversight?!"

"Your Majesty, this..." Na Yancheng thought about the pursuit of the White Lotus Sect in Gansu. As long as Addis was cooperating in Sichuan, it would not be difficult to defeat the two Gao Ma. However, how could he have predicted that Addis was so cowardly? But having said that, how is Addis on a normal day? It seems that he should have been prepared for the worst. In short, he was still too confident, so he had to hesitate: "Back to the emperor, this...I also thought that the thieves fell apart, so..."

"That means I am blind!" Jiaqing continued angrily: "Eldenbao also sent me a memorial the day before yesterday. It said that he and you were working together to suppress bandits in Gansu, and the thieves had been defeated. You said that there would be no problem in pursuing the pursuit, so Eldenbao did not continue to go south. Tell me, are Eldenbao's words true or false?!"

When Na Yancheng heard the name Eldenbao, he couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine. You must know that Eldenbao had been following Songyun to lead the troops in Gansu, and Songyun was impeached by him for delaying his actions. In this way, eh How could Ledengbao let him go? At this time, he only needed to tell Jiaqing in detail about his pursuit, and he would naturally avenge him. Thinking about it this way, he was speechless, so he had to say: "Back to the emperor, what Lord Eldenbao said is true. I was confused for a moment and despised them..."

"Just because of your dereliction of duty, you, the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Military Aircraft, should stop doing this!" Jiaqing said angrily: "There is another matter Eldenbao explained to me in the memorial. In November last year, Song Yun, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu at that time, accidentally got sick. You should know this, right? At that time, Zhang Hanchao had just been captured by Mingliang for less than half a month. The thieves were leaderless and at a loss. Why didn't you immediately join forces with Eldenbao? Go south together to quickly exterminate the bandits? I read your memorial at that time. You led the troops south to Hannan Laolin alone, but why? Remember the impeachment of Song Jun, you also had a share, right? Is it because you deliberately took the opportunity to entrap him? Songyun, is it possible to delay the war?" It turned out that Eldenbao not only informed Jiaqing about Songyun's illness, but also detailed in the memorial that Songyun had not received Shaanxi's request to send troops at that time. After Jiaqing read it, he understood that Songyun was ill. The reason why Yun failed to join forces with the various ministries in Shaanxi was because he had hidden reasons. He immediately restored Songyun's official rank. Immediately, Jiaqing thought of Hengrui and others' impeachment of Songyun. Maybe there was some conflict with each other. Since that Yancheng Song Yun was also impeached at one point, so he was probably involved in the conspiracy.

When Na Yancheng heard this, he couldn't help but sweat through his clothes. If he said he didn't know Songyun was sick, then Jiaqing would definitely say that he was stubborn and insisted on his own way. Otherwise, Hengrui would still be pulled out, and he would become the person shirking responsibility again. In this way, Jiaqing would only

He was even more disappointed. After thinking about it, he could only evade: "Your Majesty, this... is actually because I am in Xi'an, and I occasionally got an angry person to advise me. He said... that the country is currently facing a calamity, and the only choice is to go south to Hannan.

Only by responding to the changes in the stars can we overcome the calamity. If the calamity is not overcome, the war on the front line will ultimately be in vain..."

"Na Yancheng, how can you have the face to speak such absurd words!" Jiaqing was furious when he heard Na Yancheng's vague words. He cursed at Na Yancheng: "You have been reading the books of sages for thirty years, and you are silent.

Strange power confuses the gods, keep a respectful distance from ghosts and gods, do your best and then obey destiny. When you meet a nonsense magician, will you forget these words? When you Ma Fa was still alive, every time I asked him what your talents were, he always said

He said that although you are his direct grandson, you are capable of trusting him, so you can be promoted without avoiding relatives. From this point of view, both I and Awen Chenggong were wrong! You said it yourself, if your Mafa has a spirit in heaven

, listening to your shameless words, how do you let him deal with it?! Now that I think about your achievements in Mafa, I want to kill you, this unworthy descendant, for him!"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty... I have worked hard to no avail and have neglected defense. I am really to blame for my death! Your Majesty... I have no words to refute. I can only ask the Emperor to severely punish this slave. I will never dare to disobey the Emperor's holy order.

.If...if the emperor is merciful and willing to spare the slave's life, the slave should also tie a grass ring to repay the emperor for his kindness!" Na Yancheng knew that it would be useless to argue, so he simply admitted his mistakes in full and asked for Jiaqing's forgiveness. According to the Qing Dynasty's customization,

At that time, he was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, so he could just report to the minister. However, at that time, there were also many Manchu ministers who wanted to flatter themselves. Although they were civil servants, they also called themselves "slaves". Na Yancheng usually did not

I wish it was so, but in order to survive today, I had to depreciate myself. As expected, Jiaqing watched Na Yancheng kowtow repeatedly and took the initiative to admit his mistake, and his anger gradually disappeared a lot.

"Na Yancheng, do you think I don't know anything about it? I have always known that Na Hengrui is treacherous and capricious, and he is a complete villain, so I have long sent spies to the General's Mansion in Xi'an to find out the news. Regarding Song Yun's incident, although there is a hidden secret in it.

We can't completely find out, but I already know clearly that Hengrui was in the middle to sow discord. How can you still take the responsibility here and take responsibility for all the inappropriate things before and after?" Jiaqing thought secretly in his heart.

"What's more, I know exactly what Lu Youren is like in Shaanxi. His ability to recommend Lu Youren to be the governor of Shaanxi shows that his conscience is still intact. In this case, it's not a bad idea to leave him a way out..."

Thinking back to Na Yancheng's previous performance, I realized that although he was kept in the dark by Hengrui, he still fulfilled his duty. He went south to fight with troops, and there was no credit but hard work. At this time, he scolded him and let him remember it for a long time.

"Na Yancheng," he said, "Na Yancheng, this time you marched westward and refused to contact Song Yun and marched alone. This is a big mistake. You did not know the actual situation in Gansu and impeached Song Yun rashly. This was a big mistake. You were not careful in pursuit, causing the thieves to escape."

In Sichuan, you lost many generals in the imperial court. These are three major faults. For these three faults, it is not an exaggeration for me to sentence you to a long life in Yili! But after all, it is your first time to lead troops. You have also made meritorious service in chasing down the bandits in Gannan.

, You can avoid being imprisoned for such a crime, but such a serious mistake shows that you cannot take on the important task of being the second minister! From tomorrow on, you will be retained in the capital as a lecturer of the Hanlin Academy, and all other official positions will be revoked! There will be no work every day!

When things happen, go home and think about your mistakes behind closed doors! You are the grandson of Duke Awencheng, so you must be worthy of your grandfather’s kindness in nurturing you!"

"Your Majesty's Holy Grace, I am deeply grateful!" When Na Yancheng heard that Jiaqing only demoted him and did not commit the serious crime of being exiled to jail, a big stone was finally lifted from his heart, and he kowtowed to Jiaqing three times to express his gratitude. "

An act of mercy.

Jiaqing waved his hand, and Na Yancheng immediately stepped back. Zhang Jinzhong, who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, saw that Jiaqing's official affairs had been handled, and then stepped forward and said to Jiaqing: "Your Majesty, Minister Dai has been waiting outside the palace for a long time. Today,

Does the Emperor have any other wishes regarding the northwest?"

"Tell him to come in," Jiaqing said. Soon, Dai Quheng entered the palace and had finished saluting. Jiaqing said: "Dai Quheng, go down and draw up the decree. Na Yancheng did not do his job well, which caused the bandits to escape from Gansu into Sichuan. Such negligence shows that he cannot hold a big responsibility.

He was demoted to the rank of lecturer of the Hanlin Academy, and all other official positions were deprived of him! Over in Xi'an, the governor Taibu and the deputy governor Funing were both mediocre and cowardly, and were not suitable to continue to preside over the war on the front line. Taibu was transferred to Xining and Funing

He was transferred to Tibet to serve. Finally, another decree was issued to severely instruct General Hengrui of Xi'an! Why didn't he know about Songyun's illness last year? And why did he ignore Songyun's illness and delay impeaching him? If there was something else in his mind

Don't hide his intentions from me anymore! This time, I think he is a member of the clan, so I won't hold him accountable for the time being. If there is a next time, I will definitely deal with it severely! Lu Youren, the governor of Shaanxi Province, is a diligent person and has won the hearts of the scholars.

You were appointed governor of Shaanxi, do you remember it?"

Dai Quheng received Jiaqing's oral edict and immediately retired to prepare the decree. In this way, the cowardly and indecisive tablecloth on the Shaanxi front line and Funing, who had deceived and concealed his superiors, were transferred out of Shaanxi by Jiaqing and were never reused again. Heng

Rui was severely reprimanded by Jiaqing, and due to his old age, he soon became frightened and became ill. The following year, he died. After Lu Youren became the governor, he worked hard to build forts in Hannan and practiced Baojia regiment diligently. Shaanxi's political affairs were gradually stabilized.

Soon after, Eldenbao defeated Gao Tiansheng, and Ma Xueli's troops captured the two of them at one stroke. Jiaqing thought about the Battle of Nayancheng in Gannan. After all, the two of them had been severely injured. Since the two of them had been captured, there was no need to be too harsh.
