Chapter 353 Unlucky He Shen--
"Who leaked the news?" Fu Kang'an, who looked thinner and haggard, sat in the lobby of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion. The eagle-like poisonous eyes glanced at the senior officials in the lobby fiercely.
At this time, no one dared to look at or argue with Fu Kang'an in anger. You know, the decision to agree to exchange food and materials for those heroes and foreigners was made after the unanimous consent of the senior officials present.
Originally, Fu Kang'an also thought very well. He directly told the British metaphor for the Qing Dynasty to send it directly to the Beijing Normal University, in order not to want to be in these two dilemmas. If the Beijing Normal University sends a decision, then Fu Kang'an will do it directly, but the main responsibility does not need to be He is burdened.
However, less than a day after his emergency document was issued, Qianlong sent the imperial edict. He had ordered A Gui, the head of the dynasty, and his favorite minister, He Shen, to rush to Jiangning Mansion. Before that, he should be responsible for the matters he should negotiate with Yingyi.
Now, Fu Kang'an did not dare to wait for the news of the capital. After all, the situation was so urgent, and Qianlong had sent A Gui and He Shen, which showed how much he attached to this matter. And if he still has to wait for the reaction of the capital, or has to wait for the arrival of A Gui and He Shen to throw the problem to these two people, his irresponsible behavior will inevitably annoy Qianlong, and he will definitely feel that he is in vain.
Therefore, Fu Kang'an can only give orders after convening these high-ranking officials of the two rivers to discuss, and Fu Kang'an, who gave the order, is far more pressure than everyone present. By doing so, he did not want the people on both sides of the Yangtze River to feel that the court army is too incompetent, not only the small Yingyi fleet. There is no way to drive them away, even under the surveillance of hundreds of thousands of troops, and catch up with the shore to plunder the people. In that case, the inaction of the court will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction and anger of the people.
Therefore, Fu Kang'an could only make people secretly send food and supplies, in exchange for Yingyi's promise not to go ashore to disturb the people of the Qing Dynasty. But the problem is that if such a promise is really taken out, it still shows the weakness and incompetence of the court.
The opponent's move was really too vicious, and what Fu Kang'an didn't expect was that someone spread the news of the transaction between the court and these Yingyi. Moreover, it was not only the Yangtze River, but also Zhejiang, Fujian, and even Jiangning Prefecture.
--------------------
This made Fu Kang'an not angry. If these officials didn't have their own backstage, and if he didn't have Shang Fang's sword and Wang Ming's flag in his hand, Fu Kang'an felt that he would have couldn't help slaughtering all these guys to vent his hatred.
"The general calmed his anger, and the last general thought that there was no need to leak this matter. After all, this matter was not only related to the face of the court, but also to the official voice of all the colleagues present." At this time, Hailancha could only stand up bravely and persuade Fu Kang'an.
"General, when we were transporting food and fodder supplies, although it was at night, it was difficult to guarantee that it would not be found by the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. In addition, after the appearance of the hype, Yingyi has not come ashore to looted so far. People with intentions will naturally secretly guess whether the court made some kind of deal with those Yingyi, so, such flow The appearance of words is not without reason. Shu Lin, the governor of Liangjiang, stood up and said that his words were unanimously approved by all the officials present.
After all, it is not that only someone is responsible, but that they are all responsible, and no one wants to see such a thing happen.
When Shulin saw that Fu Kang'an's face changed slightly, he was secretly relieved, glanced at the officials present, and then said, "So, I think that now is not the time to investigate the responsibility. Since the emperor has appointed A Xiang and He Xiang to deal with this matter, we just need to stick to our duty and rest in peace. In the position, the sailors and land soldiers strictly guard the two sides of the strait, and we, the ministers who guard the herdsmen, need to comfort the people under their respective governance, so that they can live in peace of mind, and also strictly prevent the unfaithful people from secretly instigating and harming the peace of the world.
"It can only be like this for the time being, but gentlemen, I hope that you and others will not neglect military and state affairs, and the defense of the two sides of the Straits will not be relaxed. Otherwise, don't blame me for my military law." Fu Kang'an could only let these guys leave the lobby after threatening them fiercely.
"I didn't expect that I would let a group of barbarians play between the palms of my hands. It's really helpless." After those people left, Shu Lin took a sip of the cold tea and sighed.
"Well, if those sailors weren't incompetent, how could they be like this?" Fu Kang'an slapped the table with hatred, with an angry face. There was nothing he could do. He had to find a scapegoat. Marshal Fu could not bear all the responsibilities by himself. Besides, those sailors were really useless.
"The commander-in-chief is reasonable, but now we can only take the policy of strict prevention and defense, so as not to change." Hailan touched her gray beard with a helplessness on her face. There was nothing she could do at all.
"I hope that A Xiang and He Xiang can arrive early and see what good strategies are available for these Yingyi." Shulin reached out and rubbed his stiff face, and his eyes were full of eagerness. He couldn't wait for the two uncles to come early. If they fell one day earlier, they could unload the burden one day earlier. It was much better than being worried all day long now. Shulin knew very well that after experiencing this incident, he, the governor of Liangjiang, was afraid. It's the end. I'm afraid that in addition to him, the civil and military officials in the coastal provinces will have a large number of land on this matter. There is nothing they can do. The court has to pull out a group of people as scapegoats to cover the face of the court and whitewash it.
"He Xiang, after crossing the Yangtze River, Jiangning City is in front of you. Get on the boat quickly." A Gui, who was nearly seventy years old, stood on the bow of the boat with a tired face and smiled at He Shen, who was still hesitating on the dock.
"Here we go." He Shen squeezed out an ugly smile and moved his feet like a woman. It took a long time to get on the ship. Before he could stand firmly, A Gui ordered the boat to sail. If He Shen hadn't helped the ship, he might have rolled on the deck.
"He Xiang has to be careful. Although this is the Yangtze River rather than the sea, the waves are going to roll up. Maybe it can really shake people down. At that time, maybe He Xiang will be seriously ill again. If he really misses a big thing, I'm afraid the emperor will be unhappy again."
--------------------
"Ha ha, what Ah Xiang said is that He must be careful. After all, the emperor entrusted this to Ah Xiang and He. How dare I, a slave, not do my best?" He Shen held theboard of the ship and replied in a yin-and-yang manner.
A Gui looked at He Shen with a smile and went straight into the cabin to rest.
"I X%¥ you old turtle, giving birth to a son without an asshole." Looking at A Gui's back, He Shen cursed fiercely in his heart.
"Sir, please be careful. That old guy is really virtuous." Liu Quan stood beside He Shen and carefully held He Shen's arm and said.
"Who let people be the head of the court? That old guy always looks at your master and I don't like him." He Shen waved his hand to indicate that Liu Quan did not need to help himself. He walked to the bow of the boat and looked at the blue river, and his face was full of resentment.
Unlucky, He Shen never thought that he had such an unlucky errand. He Shen was very clear that no matter how beautiful this job was, it would only have been done. It was impossible to make contributions, and maybe he would let those political enemies attack him in the future.
After all, this is the court being soft to those barbarians. In fact, He Shen played a lot of tricks and tricks, but the problem is that he knows quite well with the old emperor who gets along with each other day and night. Similarly, Qianlong also knows what his favorite minister is.
And because A Gui is the first assistant of the dynasty, and he and Shen are not only ministers in the study, but also Qianlong's favorite ministers. Therefore, sending the two of them this time is enough to show Qianlong's determination to solve the trouble of the British as soon as possible.
The problem is that although Qianlong's idea is not wrong, for A Gui and He Shen, it is the same reason that the emperor and the two of them run to the garbage pile on the roadside to roll on stinky shit, because no matter how good the job is, it is useless to win the emperor's favor. After all, this is to the Yingyi people and lose the country. The matter of losing face to the emperor again.
A Gui's old guy is not only popular in the court. Even people like Fu Kang'an who hang no one should respect him three points. Moreover, A Gui took the initiative to take responsibility this time. Even if he finished the matter, it doesn't matter if the emperor directly gave up his official. After all, he is almost seventy years old, whether he is there or not. There is not much in this position. At that time, the emperor will naturally compensate his children.
So, Agui is afraid of hair, but He Shen is afraid. He still has a good year to live, but he has such a thing. Can he not be unlucky?
After being arrested by Qianlong, He Shen did not think of a solution, but his reasons were all ignored by Qianlong. In the past two days, He Shen suddenly fell ill, because he was on his way in winter and accidentally suffered from a cold disease in Zhengzhou.
However, even if it is a very ordinary wind chill, for He Shen at this moment, it is simply Tianci Lunyin. When he got up in the morning, he felt that his head was hot and dizzy, and He Shen, who had a sore throat, had never felt the pain of illness as wonderful as that morning.
He Shen is at least an important minister of the court. Naturally, people can't neglect a cold or something. In addition, He Shen doesn't want this scene to come so timely and the lovely wind and cold disappear so quickly. They applied a little wrist, such as pouring the medicine, letting the servant drink the medicine he should have drunk, and deliberately lifting the corner of the quilt to cool down or something. The doctors in Zhengzhou racked their brains but sadly found that they were really helpless about this and the adult's illness.
