Chapter 32 Find the right time to welcome you

Anyone who really wants to do something hopes that the people around him are talented, even highly talented.The emperor was even more so. He hoped that the ministers could complete the tasks he entrusted to them.But talented people can't be too aggressive and aggressive.If the edge is too exposed, it will be easy to break, and if it is too urgent, it will be difficult for oneself to deal with it.If you want to stand out, don't force yourself to stand out, and He Shen knows this well. If you don't stand out, you can naturally reduce the damage, so as to maintain a harmonious relationship with the surrounding environment.Everyone is busy with their lives, and they all hope that one day they can survive and live a superior life.But this requires a lot of pressure and risk. Under the pressure of oneself and the environment, it is very difficult to meet the self-requirements of being in the early stage.

First of all, when one's own abilities are not good enough, one can barely do certain things.Although it is possible to achieve unexpected success if you do it reluctantly, the reliability is not high, and there are too many accidental factors.Secondly, even if I have enough ability, the objective environment does not allow it.Under the above two conditions, if you stand out strongly, you will suffer unexpected failure. Therefore, He Shen, who is good at hiding, will never show any sharpness except for showing a little intelligence from time to time.And the story of He Shen's fortune is a clear proof.

When He Shen first arrived at the Shangyu Reserve, he was a maverick among all the guards.Different from the Baqi children around him who are ashamed and eat and drink to death, he is highly motivated and willing to use his brain, so he is very popular with everyone. Once, Qianlong had a large-scale outreach activity, and most of the guards in the guard office participated, compared with the guards in the Shangyu reserve office, they were insignificant. Qianlong wanted to patrol Henan, and his purpose was to inspect the river affairs.The river affairs mentioned in ancient times mainly refer to the Yellow River Project.The Yellow River is the second largest river in China. It flows eastward from Kaifeng in the middle reaches of Henan Province. The land it passes through is completely plain. Because there are no canyons and mountains to restrain it, it often breaks and diverts its course.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the Yellow River burst repeatedly, and the river ran wildly from top to bottom, causing floods in the nearby Shanyang, Gaoyou, Baoying, Taizhou, Yancheng, Xinghua, Rugao and other counties. Forming a reverse flow straight into the canal, hindering water transportation.This directly threatened the rule of the Qing Dynasty, because the Qing government needed to transport 4 million stone grains from the southeast to Beijing every year to feed the large population of princes and nobles and the children of the Eight Banners.Therefore, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to the governance of the Yellow River.

He Shen followed Qianlong all the way to Shandong and arrived in Qufu. Sa Zai, the governor of the river, and Su Ji, the governor of Shandong, went a few miles to meet him.There are even more common people along the road to welcome them.Coupled with the breeze blowing, the fragrance is bursting, the birds are singing and dancing, and the atmosphere is peaceful.Wherever the imperial driver passed by, the common people knelt down beside the road and shouted "Long live my emperor", and the shouts were earth-shattering. After Qianlong arrived at the palace, he took a short rest and summoned Sazai, governor of He River, and Su Ji, governor of Shandong Province, to show his diligence.As usual, Qianlong asked about river affairs, river relief, and astronomical phenomena one by one.

Sa Zai listened attentively and carefully, not daring to lose his mind in the slightest, and answered the questions respectfully, for fear that the emperor would show dissatisfaction with his answers; the governor of Shandong also added a few words occasionally. After a while, Agui, the minister of the guards, said that there was a side report.A guard took the side newspaper from Agui, walked up to Qianlong, unfolded it respectfully, and showed it to Qianlong. Qianlong temporarily interrupted the questioning of Shandong officials, and began to read the side newspaper carefully.There was no important military information reported in the side newspaper, only the fact that a key criminal of the imperial court escaped from the place of detention.When Emperor Qianlong saw this, he couldn't help frowning his brows, and his face was slightly angry. He threw the side newspaper into the hands of the guards, looked ahead, and said slowly: "The tiger's mouth is out of the guard!"

When Qianlong said this sentence, his voice was very soft. The ministers around him knew that he had said a sentence, but they couldn't hear what he said clearly.Agui, He Du, Governor of Shandong, and the guards closest to Qianlong didn't know what to do for a while, and they couldn't help feeling nervous.They were worried that what Qianlong said just now must have some purpose to convey. If such an important matter was not heard clearly, the crime would be serious. The tiger's voice came out of the scorpion!His thoughts seemed to be still on the side newspaper, Qianlong said it again slowly, his eyes still did not leave the side newspaper in his hand.

The surrounding ministers and guards heard it clearly this time, but they didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, so they didn't dare to interrupt casually.Only He Shen knows that this is a sentence in "The Analects of Confucius".This sentence is actually a euphemistic purpose, to investigate and prosecute the negligence of the keeper.It stands to reason that the ministers leading the guards should respond politely to this verbal order, and then notify the Military Aircraft Department to prepare an order to investigate the matter when they have time, but no one responded.Due to his status, He Shen didn't dare to intervene casually in the conversation between the senior officials and the emperor.

As a result, the hall seemed very quiet, and everyone dared not even breathe because they couldn't guess the emperor's mind, for fear of hurting themselves.Even Agui didn't respond, and He Shen couldn't help but looked at Agui. Although Ah Gui was very anxious, she couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence, so she didn't dare to speak out.He cast glances at Sa Zai and Su Ji for help, but these two also looked confused and shook their heads secretly, with an innocent look on their faces.The three court officials had always been neglectful of reading, and they did not expect Lord Qianlong to quote sentences from "The Analects of Confucius" to convey his will.

Although Agui didn't know what the emperor meant, but from the angry look on Qianlong's face, it could be seen that Qianlong must have been displeased by the incident in the side newspaper. He was afraid that he would be involved in this matter, so he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat for a while.The more Agui thought about it, the more frightened she became, and became uneasy. He Shen saw it in his eyes and was anxious.He wanted to help Agui. After all, Agui was a good friend of his father-in-law Yinglian, and Agui took good care of him during the process of selecting the guards.

The tiger's voice came out of the scorpion!Seeing that no one made a sound, Qianlong raised his voice and said it a third time. This time, his tone was very firm.Agui, Sa Zai and Su Ji were embarrassed and anxious, they all blushed.He Shen looked at the guards around him, all of them were ignorant and at a loss.It seems that only you can solve the siege of Agui. So, He Shen answered calmly and calmly: Does the Holy One mean that the guardian cannot shirk his responsibility?His voice was not loud. First, he had never spoken in front of so many senior officials. Second, he was afraid of disturbing the emperor's thoughts. Hearing what He Shen said, Ah Gui suddenly realized that the emperor wanted him to hold the guardian accountable.He was very grateful to He Shen for reminding him on the spot.It seems that He Shen is a sensible child, and his care for He Shen has not been in vain for a long time. Seeing that someone understood what he meant, Qianlong finally stretched his brows, but he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He was really sad that the court officials couldn't understand the words in "The Analects of Confucius".As an emperor, he couldn't put the tiger out of the box and the turtle jade in the box in front of so many people. Whose fault is it?Say all these three sentences, and then explain them to the Minister of the Guards! Qianlong was quite surprised when he saw that a small guard beside him could understand what he meant: he didn't expect that there were people who were familiar with "The Analects" among the guards.Qianlong signaled Agui to ask about the identity of the guard, and Agui immediately reported to Qianlong: This is the third-class guard He Shen! Opportunities always favor those who are prepared, it is true.Seeing the joyful expression on Qianlong's face, Ah Gui knew that He Shen's words this time were in line with the emperor's intentions.In this incident, He Shen not only showed his face, but also relieved the emperor, Agui and others, which was a perfect move.From then on, He Shen began to rise steadily.
