"Sister Fu Heng apologized!" As soon as he saw the beginning of this memorial, Qianlong's forehead began to twitch. At present, what he was most concerned about was the battle situation in the Northeast. In his opinion, whether it was the northwest, Shandong, Henan, or Fujian, the red flower clubs that have emerged recently were all small problems. As long as he dealt with Prince Zhuang in the Northeast, the entire court could reunite. With the strength of the Qing Dynasty, it would be like crushing an ant to pierce the rioters who did not think of the emperor's kindness. If Prince Zhuang could not kill him in a short time, the hearts of the people in the court would be floating. At present, the princes were waiting to see their own good show. If they hadn't left Fu Kang'an in the capital, they would have forced the palace to question the authenticity of the will. Fortunately, the empress dowager also knew the severity of the matter, and he would have bitten to death without the will, but this could only delay the time of the outbreak.

Then look down. It turned out that the army led by Fu Heng and Prince Zhuang had a battle outside Shengjing City. As soon as Fu Heng broke Prince Zhuang's formation, a Mongolian cavalry came from the side. Both sides fought each other and suffered damage. Although Prince Zhuang's losses were heavier than Fu Heng's, the plan to take Shengjing in a short time was undoubtedly ruined.

Request for reinforcements! Qianlong rubbed his temples. Now almost all the troops in the north were transferred to Fu Heng. If he had to transfer them, he had to find a way from the capital and Shanxi. However, the army in the capital had to be guarded against those princes. Shanxi's army had to be guarded against the Mongolian invasion. Where could he draw out people from in a short while? As for the salary, the 200,000 taels last time caused resentment. It is said that Fujian was incited by the Red Flower Society for the public to incitement of chaos because the officials who were in charge of the salary too much.

Let’s draw some people from Shaanxi and Gansu! First, the salary is drawn from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Qianlong seemed to see that his plan to visit Jiangnan next time was leaving him. He found another memorial, but it was Fujian officials who impeached Heshen to collude with the Red Flower Association and plotted against him. What would be the benefit of him colluding with the Red Flower Association? Qianlong sneered, it was just a strategy of these wastes trying to muddle the water and shirking responsibility! Looking at the memorial, how did Xinyan bribe Heshen and how to transport the silk woven in Jiangning overseas with Heshen’s family to make profits. Qianlong had the first intention to kill Heshen. In the past, you could still manage finances for the court and turn a blind eye to your corruption and bribery. Unexpectedly, you would have caused such a big disaster! It is said that Heshen’s family has a lot of money. If he raided his family, he might be able to collect enough military expenses for Fu Heng?

Qianlong underestimated Heshen and confiscated his family, let alone the military expenditure in the Northeast. In addition, Shandong, Henan, Fujian and Northwest are more than enough. Unfortunately, in the court, except Heshen, they are either playboys in Manchus or corrupt scholars who only understand the poems of Zizhi, and they don’t even have half of Heshen’s financial management ability.

"Your Majesty, Heshen and Lord ask for a visit!" The young eunuch waiting outside the door reported.

"Hmph!" Qianlong was about to let someone drive Heshen away, but he thought about it and endured it again, "Let him get in!"

After a while, Heshen bent over and ran in. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground and walked all the way to Qianlong, "Master, I have been betrayed the holy grace, and I have come to apologize!"

"Hmph, I didn't realize that you have such courage!" Qianlong kicked Heshen down, "I even drove my things out to sell!" The red flower club was a taboo for Qianlong, and he didn't even want to mention it in front of Heshen.

"Your Majesty! That's not what a slave did!" Heshen was not surprised and happy when he was kicked. The master was willing to beat him, which proved that he had not completely given up his plan. He hurriedly crawled back and decided, "It was all the slaves who were not strict in control. As a result, the disciples went out to use the name of the slaves to pretend to be powerful and did such a traitor!" Heshen pushed the blame to Liu An.

"You don't know what you said so?" Qianlong laughed furiously.

"I will never know!" Heshen bit me to death, "I have sold my property and raised 200,000 taels of silver for the crime. I hope Your Majesty will atone for his sins!" Heshen's heart was bleeding, 200,000 taels of silver! This was equivalent to spitting out all the money I got from Xinyan. This business was a big loss!

"The property of your and the adults is worth 200,000 taels of silver? Go back and get 400,000 taels, and you will take this matter as a matter of exposure!" Qianlong thought that such a large sum of silver should give him a long memory!

Heshen breathed a long sigh when he heard this, as long as the money could be settled! He kowtowed and agreed quickly. While thinking about how long it would take to send the money to the right place, he was thinking about where to make up for the money.

At the second day of the dynasty, the ministers were divided into two groups, one strongly demanded that Heshen be held accountable and investigated his position, headed by the Minister of Military Affairs Liu Tongxun, and one group cheered; the other group helped Heshen shirking responsibility, and the two sides quarreled.

"Okay! Heshen has already handed over the criminal offense. This matter is not allowed to be mentioned again!" Qianlong slapped the armrest of the dragon chaise and said, "It is understandable that Nalan Yuanshu has just taken office. Let him go home to retire!" Nalan Yuanshu has some connections in the court. At this time, he still has to take care of the nobles of the people.

The Manchu officials who just clamored to take Heshen were not really trying to knock him down. The purpose was nothing more than to save Nalan Yuanshu and even the new pillar. Yang Tingzhang stopped entangling when he saw that his goal had been achieved. Only Liu Tongxun still insisted on his sternness, but unfortunately he could not make any storms even if he was alone.

Then he began to discuss additional funds. Most officials were happy to see such a thing. They could make a fortune by themselves with the reason to collect money. This is a good thing! As a result, Liu Tongxun stood up and shouted to be polite to the people and tried to stop it. Of course, his plan failed again.

The court meeting was finally over and the Ministry of War reported that Shuhede had stopped Wang Lun's rebel army in Linqing, and the safety of the canal transportation was temporarily guaranteed. Unfortunately, due to insufficient military strength, Wang Lun's rebels could not be wiped out.

Qianlong was happy for a while when he heard the first half, but the second half gave him a headache again. He asked the court for money and people! He passed the troops in the capital several times, gritted his teeth and pulled out a thousand troops from Jianrui Camp and the Firearms Camp and let Ebu Lavandorji go to Shuhede's army to assist in the war.

Dragging his tired body back to the bedroom, he received news from Fujian's Red Flower Association that had already started to hold fake exams, and the admission of the failed scholars to win people's hearts. Red Flower Association! Qianlong secretly raised his vigilance against the Red Flower Association, intending to wait for Northeast China to ping, and then let his confidant generals take their troops to Fujian to quell the rebellion.
