Chapter 185 Yellow jacket, some are

Capital, Old Summer Palace.

The Changchun Fairy Pavilion located deep in the garden was originally the Lotus Pavilion during the Yongzheng period, and is also the residence of the current emperor who was the fourth son of the emperor when he gave it to him.

Now it has been expanded and surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is the most beautiful place in the Old Summer Palace, and it is also the retirement place chosen by the current emperor for the Queen Mother.

The reason is that the Queen Mother is bored living in the palace.

Three days ago, Qianlong came to Yuanmingyuan accompanied by the military minister Suo Lin, the second-class imperial guard He Shen, and relevant personnel from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He originally wanted to stay in the newly built Changchun Fairy Pavilion for two days in order to find out any problems and deal with them as soon as possible.

, to avoid any discomfort after the Queen Mother comes to live with her.

Unexpectedly, the next day, an urgent report from General Agui of Dingxi came from the Jinchuan front line - Fukang'an, the vice-capital of Manchuria under the Xianghuang Banner, died in battle.

The first to receive Agui's urgent report were Man Zhang Jingshengzhu of the Military Aircraft Department and Han Zhang Jingwang Rizhang who came to the Old Summer Palace together.

But neither of them dared to hand over the bad news, because they knew that the emperor loved the third elder brother of the Fuji family too much. How could the emperor endure the sudden news of the death of his beloved?

But they didn't dare not to retaliate. When they were worried, He Shen happened to pass by.

Sheng Zhu winked at Wang Rizhang, who immediately understood and stopped He Shen. As a result, the hot potato fell into He Shen's hands.

The two Zhang Jings did not force this hot potato on Heshen, but Heshen took it upon himself. This was because of his humanity. If it were another tricky person, he would never "report his son's death" to the emperor.

Qianlong was rowing in the lake accompanied by Li Quan, the eunuch in charge. It was muggy and very hot today.

He Shen stood on the shore with Agui's report and looked at the emperor who was rowing happily in the lake. He didn't know how the emperor would react in anger when he learned about the news of Fukang'an's death in the battle, and whether this matter would implicate Jia Dong, who was assisting in the battle.

Pavilion.

While thinking, the boat carrying the emperor slowly docked.

Qianlong, who took the towel handed to him by the little eunuch and wiped his face, saw Heshen in a daze on the shore and couldn't help shouting: "Heshen, why are you acting like a fool?"

"ah?"

He Shen reacted, first agreed, and then stepped down the steps to help Qianlong ashore.

"I'm not old yet. When I get really old and can't walk on the street, you and Shen won't need to support me. You can just carry me on your back."

Qianlong was in a good mood. The bottom of his trousers were wet with the lake water. Just paddling in the water reminded him of the many joys he had in this garden when he was a child.

At that time, the Holy Patriarch was still alive, and it had been more than fifty years in a flash.

After going ashore and sitting down in the pavilion, Qianlong asked Heshen: "What did you do just now? I can't even find you."

He Shen said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I'm going to see if the watermelons from Shandong have been delivered. I want to quench your thirst and cool down the heat in the hot weather..."

Qianlong thought it was funny: "It's such a trivial matter, just send someone to do it. What are you doing as an imperial guard?"

When he looked up, he saw that He Shen was a little distracted and couldn't help but ask: "What, is something wrong?"

He Shen bent down and said, "Your Majesty, Dingxi General Agui is coming from 800 miles away to deliver urgently."

"What did you say?"

Qianlong took off his water-logged shoes.

"Agui said, Fu Kang'an, the Minister of Household Affairs, died for the country."

After saying that, He Shen knelt down. Li Quan, the eunuch in charge who was helping his master take off his other shoe, was also stunned, and then quickly knelt down.

"What did you say?"

Qianlong didn't know whether it was because he was a little deaf because of his age, or because he didn't react for a while, or because he was mentally resisting the news.

He Shen had to say it again.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qianlong snatched Agui's urgent report from his hand.

He Shen noticed that the emperor's hands were obviously shaking.

After seeing Agui's urgent delivery, Qianlong angrily threw the urgent delivery away from Lao Xu, punched the pavilion pillar again, and said in a hateful voice: "Agui, damn it, damn it!"

........

In the green shade pavilion.

Minister of Military Aircraft Solin and other officials were waiting outside anxiously.

After a long time, the palace door opened and the two imperial doctors exited.

Sorin quickly stepped forward and asked the imperial doctor if the emperor was in the way. After learning that it was just a temporary rage, Sorin felt relieved.

In the palace, Qianlong was lying on the bed, his eyes open, looking at the bed flowers above his head.

He Shen and Li Quan stood at the foot of the bed, neither of them daring to speak.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing.

After a long time, Qianlong Fang slowly sat up and asked Heshen: "Does Fulong'an know about this?"

He Shen hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the urgent report was sent directly to Yuanzi."

"Yes, he, the eldest brother, doesn't know yet, I don't know..."

Qianlong sighed, as if his chest was blocked by something, and said sadly, "I'm sorry for Fu Heng, I'm sorry for Fu Heng."

Then he sat down on the edge of the bed, put on his shoes and stood up with his hands behind his back: "He Shen, hereby pass on my oral instructions, to posthumously appoint the Minister of Household Affairs, and to appoint Fukang'an, Vice-Capital of Manchuria with a yellow flag, as Beizi."

He Shen was shocked. Beizi was a clan title, below the prince, county king, and Baylor. Non-clan members could not be granted the title. Unexpectedly, the emperor made an exception for Fukang'an. What a glorious favor this was.

"Go quickly!"

"I will go and deliver the order right away."

He Shen did not dare to neglect and hurriedly walked outside the palace to inform the Minister of Military and Aircraft Solin about the matter.

"Chasing Beizi?"

Suolin, Shengzhu and other Manchu and Han officials from the Military Aircraft Department all had strange expressions on their faces.

"And the guards, has the emperor angered the Jinchuan army?"

Suolin is most concerned about this matter now. If the emperor is angry with the new Dingxi general Agui because of Fukangan's death, he must remonstrate with him, because it is taboo to change generals on the spot.

He Shen said no, which made Solin sigh in relief. At this time, another pen-sticker from the garden guard station came hurriedly holding a secret box. He said he was the first-class imperial guard and the leader of the flag-bearer guerrilla affairs, Jia Jiashi.

A secret message from Kai to the Emperor.

He Shen then said that he would take the secret folder in and inform the emperor of the matter after returning to the palace.

"Read it."

Qianlong asked Heshen to open it and read it for him to listen to. Heshen hurriedly opened the secret box, took out Jia Jia Shikai's booklet and opened it. He glanced at it and was stunned.

"what happened again?"

"emperor,"

"read."

"嗻!"

He Shen did not dare not read it, and immediately read out the secret content of Jia Jiashikai's impeachment of Fu Kang'an.

Qianlong didn't wait for Heshen to finish reading, he actually raised his foot and smashed a shoe over him, shouting: "Shut up!"

"emperor!"

He Shen was so frightened that he fell to his knees, his head stuck to the ground.

Seeing this, Qianlong realized that he should not offend Heshen, but as an emperor it was not easy to apologize to his ministers, so he stood up and bent down to take Jia Jiashikai's secret fold from Heshen's hand.

Read it over and over again, word for word.

Finally, let Heshen draft the edict.

"I asked you to specialize in the guerrilla affairs of the flag members. When will I ask you to wear armor and carry out the task? I gave you the right to report secretly, not to frame Zhongliang. Because of your unparalleled loyalty and bravery, I will reward you with a yellow mandarin jacket and flower feathers on your eyes to show encouragement.

, I have misbehaved now, so I have to hand over the yellow mantle."

At this point, Qianlong paused, thought for a moment, and then added, "You are still asked to wear the flower feathers on your eyes. If you talk nonsense again, I will hand you over to the capital for discussion."

Afterwards, Heshen was ordered to draw up an edict to remove all three positions of the minister of bodyguard, minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the commander of the Han army under the banner of Xianghong Banner, General Agui of Dingxi.

Then he reprimanded the left deputy general Feng for his promotion. The right deputy general Mingliang handled the affairs of the camp without any rules. Ge Feng was promoted to the post of Mongolian capital commander of Xianglan Banner; he was promoted to the post of commander of the guard army of Bai Banner.

He also ordered A Guiyan to lead the battle at Luobowa Mountain and accompany the generals in the expedition. They would either be dismissed from their posts and investigated, or demoted to serve in front of the army.

All achievements in seizing the fortress will not be mentioned.

...........

When Qianlong's imperial edict came to Jinchuan, Jia Liuzheng was accompanied by Shu Mulu, the left wing commander of Jianrui Battalion, to select 100 Jianrui bannermen.

Less than half of the items were picked when the imperial edict arrived. After scolding Jia Liu, his yellow mandarin jacket was stripped off by two third-class imperial guards.

This makes Jia Liuli very unhappy. Why?

Shuan Zhu was still considerate of the young master and said secretly: "Master, it's okay, we have several more."
