Chapter 354: There will be such a day.

After the illness was long, Agui would definitely not be able to wait for him, so he could only go south alone and take care of himself for another ten days and half a month, and traveled south slowly. He was afraid that before he arrived at Jiangning Prefecture, the matter of Yingyi might have been settled. At that time, the responsibility had nothing to do with him and someone. Unfortunately, the distance between dreams and reality would always disappoint people...

Heshen did make a good plan, but he never expected that Agui, Lao Jiang, who had been in the officialdom for decades, was also extremely cunning. On the second day after he fell ill, Agui actually rushed for 800 miles and reported to the capital, only saying that Heshen felt cold and was not in good condition, and asked the emperor if he could send another assistant. After all, such a big thing would not be possible without a personal discussion.

So, Qianlong was very considerate and sent a large-scale eunuch to Zhengzhou two days later, and the deputy hospital judge of the Imperial Hospital and two imperial physicians to rush to Zhengzhou. Xin Zi diagnosed Heshen with decoction and even supervised him to take medicine.

Moreover, in addition to these three considerate and caring imperial physicians, the guards also sent a message. After Heshen fell ill halfway, Heshen's good brother Helin immediately went to see the emperor and wanted to do something for his brother. This made Heshen so angry that he almost vomited blood. I was desperate to hide. You kid, you actually wanted to hit the gun.

However, in addition to this incident, what made Heshen dare not use any tricks was that in addition to the imperial physician, Qianlong also gave Heshen a thousand-year-old mountain ginseng. After seeing the old mountain ginseng, Heshen knew that his trick had been seen through by the old emperor. The old emperor's intention was very obvious. He clearly told Heshen that if you are sick, an imperial physician will treat you and keep you safe. Even if you, Heshen, have only half your life left, it's okay. If you use this thousand-year-old mountain ginseng to hang your life, you have to go south to get things done for me.

Therefore, Heshen had no choice but to start, and rushed with Agui, and finally arrived on the Yangtze River, which was separated from Jiangning Prefecture.

"Master, what is this emperor thinking? If you don't send that old Liu Yong or that old Wang Jie, how can you send you out to deal with this mess?" Seeing Heshen's expression, Liu Quan, who knew what his master was thinking, couldn't help but say hatefully.

"Your Majesty, I originally thought I had seen through the emperor, but now I realize that he had seen through me as a slave, a deputy magistrate of the Imperial Hospital, and two imperial doctors came together. They were meticulous and thoughtful. Even thousands of years old mountain ginseng were prepared for me. At this level, he chased me as a slave." Heshen smiled bitterly, looked at the rolling river water, and couldn't help but sigh. "I'm discouraged, discouraged..."

"Master, you are only in your early forties this year, and you are in your prime. How could you say such a disheartening thing? Besides, isn't there a Gui in front of you? In addition, isn't that Magistrate Fu also in Jiangning Mansion?"

Hearing Liu Quan's words, Heshen patted Liu Quan's shoulders from his heart, and smiled coldly: "Fu Kang'an is the emperor's nephew. The emperor's favor for him is even more than those princes. The emperor drove us here, but he didn't want his good nephew to take this responsibility. As for A Gui, he has been cunning in his decades of civil and military career, because he knew that it would be better for him to stand up by himself when others took him out and took responsibility."

"After all, he is the chief minister of the dynasty. If the country is in trouble, how can he retreat with fear of difficulties? And when he stands up like this, he seems to be responsible and take this risk for the court. You must know that he has been through ups and downs for decades, whether in the court or in the army, his disciples and old friends have been around the world. When he stands up, no one will blame him, but he will only say that he is responsible. But I am different."

Heshen turned around, looked at the hanging curtain, took a deep breath, his eyes flashed with resentment. "In the eyes of those people, I, Heshen, was a mother jester, a villain who only knew how to please, and a corruption that was heard all over the world.

But who knows how many times the emperor stretched out his hand to me every year. The expenses of each southern tour, the cost of building a garden, and the wealth of the Mongolian and foreign countries that came to pay tribute every year were all squeezed out of the treasury, because it was not the face of the emperor or the face of the court. Humph, if they were asked to do it, it would be furious for the emperor in less than a year, and no one would be able to get out of the stage by then."

"Yes, my master, your financial management skills are in our Qing Dynasty, but this is the first one." Liu Quan interjected without taking the opportunity.

"What's the use of this? The emperor sent me here. To be honest, he was worried that Agui and Fu Kang'an were both in the army for a long time and had a very arrogant temper. Fu Kang'an was even more so. If he had disagreements with the other party, he pointed his sleeves and left. I don't know which year or month it would take for this matter. Even if the British could afford it, the court could not afford it." Heshen stroked his two short beards, with a look of helplessness.

"Is the Emperor going to..." After hearing Heshen's words, Liu Quan couldn't help but feel shocked and whispered. Heshen smiled bitterly: "It's now the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong. The emperor will abdicate next year. Will he let this matter continue? Moreover, this matter will only become more and more trouble. Who is the emperor? He is the perfect person of the old man of Shiquan. Before he abdicated, the whole world was chasing because of these small British people..." Heshen did not continue to say anything, but everything was clear.

Liu Quan is his confidant. He has never concealed Liu Quan from doing things with someone. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with letting Liu Quan know about the links of this matter. After all, there must be someone around who talks and chats. Otherwise, he would not be able to suffocate himself to death.

"The Qing Dynasty would have such a day. Master, this is really..." Liu Quan was a little panicked and confused. He never thought that the Qing Dynasty would have a day to surrender to a foreign barbarian.

"Yes, before this happens, who would have thought that it would become the current situation?" Heshen's wry smile became a little strange, and he looked at the scenery of the Yangtze River and said slowly: "I didn't expect that guy would guess."

"Someone guessed." Liu Quan couldn't help but be surprised, raised his head and looked at his master.

"Of course it's me. Hehehe..." Liang Pengfei showed a loyal and loyal expression, but the problem was that he leaned his head against Pan Bingjie's thigh. "Speaking of this, I am also doing my best. For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, I even considered all the consequences for them. But the problem is, whether to believe it or not, I can't help it."

"If there are many troubles today, both officials and the people are anxious. However, the former world-controlled and central country will have such a day, which is indeed difficult for people to accept." Shi Xianggu, who was feeding his son Xiao Liangbao fish soup next to him, shook his head and sighed.

"Yes, the dignified Heavenly Dynasty has now forced a small English-Geely to this point. It's really..." The expression on Pan Bingjie's face was not much better than Shi Xiang Gu's. There was a hint of unbearance and savage on her pretty face with bright eyes and white teeth.

Liang Pengfei raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not answer. Yes, anyone who wants to accept this situation does need to go through painful struggles. After this long-term superiority feeling is very uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, husband, you won't be angry with me." Seeing Liang Pengfei's face that gradually looked a little gloomy, Pan Bingjie, who realized that she had said the wrong thing, couldn't help but quickly distinguish: "Actually what I want to say is that they are all bad officials in the court. They have turned the country into what they are today."

"Your husband, I am a standard bad guy official..." Liang Pengfei rolled his eyes when he heard this. Although Liang Pengfei was a military general and was not a job as a civilian, he strictly investigated and smuggled in Guangdong and Guangxi, cut off many people's financial resources, and even destroyed many opium merchants. In the eyes of many people, Liang Pengfei was also a standard bad guy and official.

"...I didn't mean it." Pan Bingjie saw the strange smile on Shi Xianggu's face next to her, and Liang Pengfei's helpless look. Pan Bingjie, who knew that she had said the wrong thing again, pouted her pink red lips, looked indignant, and, the little hand that had gently rubbed Liang Pengfei's shoulders and neck, began to increase her strength.

Liang Pengfei, who made this stinky girl grin and grinned in revenge, quickly sat up straight: "Okay, okay, I didn't say you did it on purpose, but I just felt a little depressed when I thought about it. By the way, how are your father and the others doing these days?"

"What else can it be done? Now the owners of other business banks are running to my house all day long, making my father a little idling, and they don't even have time to have lunch." Pan Bingjie felt frustrated when she mentioned this. She finally returned to her parents' house for a few days, but in the end, Pan Youdu made the merchants who came and went and went and the merchants from all over the country complained, and the family was in peace, and she had never even said a few words to her daughter.

"That's true. After all, these merchants in the Thirteenth League rely on overseas trade. Now in this war, the goods in their hands are nowhere to be sold. How can they not be anxious? Fortunately, it's winter now, and the tea this year should be sold out long ago. New tea has to wait for several months. They either have porcelain or raw silk in their hands, so they should be able to put it on." Liang Pengfei took the tea handed over by Pan Bingjie and took a sip, scratched his bare scalp and smiled.

"That's right, those merchants are worried that if this battle lasts for a long time, the business will not be able to continue. But the court still wants to collect taxes from them." Pan Bingjie reached out and teased the little Liangbao who looked at her with big eyes staring at her, and said. "Just now, the new Governor General has told my father through Governor Guo that the Guangdong Navy warships are incomplete now. I hope that all the merchants can help, and it is obvious that they are coming to extort money again."
