Chapter 492 493 [The crime of deceiving the king]
"Ji Xiaolan, you got into trouble, you got into a catastrophe, do you know?" After the white lady was escorted away by the officers and soldiers, He Shen looked at Xiang Nan and gritted his teeth angrily, "If the emperor knows who you are arresting , will definitely want your head."
"Does your lord want to see the emperor? Alright, Ji Xiaolan invites you, Lord Long Live." Xiang Nan knelt down and kowtowed.
As soon as the door of the next door opened, Qianlong walked out with a livid face.
"Ah?!" He Shen was so frightened that his face turned ashen, and he immediately knelt down, "The slave kowtowed to the emperor."
What he just said to Xiang Nan and Bai Suzhen must have been heard by the emperor. Now it's in big trouble.
"Heshen, you knew that this white lady might be my biological mother, why didn't you come?" Qianlong pointed to Heshen and asked, "It made me search hard in Yunzhou and Yancheng. How much effort, you are deceiving the king, do you know?"
"Damn the slave! Die the slave!" He Shen kowtowed after hearing this.
"Say, why do you support her? What kind of conspiracy is there?" Qianlong asked again.
As his important minister, Heshen actually inquired into the mystery of his life experience, even colluded with the white lady to do business together, divided up the disaster relief funds, and conspired to fornicate the palace. This is simply rebellion.
…
"The emperor misunderstood the slave, there is absolutely no conspiracy, there is absolutely no conspiracy, the emperor Rong Bing, the emperor Rong Bing." When He Shen heard this, he was so frightened that the **** broke out, and he kowtowed repeatedly.
It is not difficult to deal with the crime of corruption. As the chief assistant of the military aircraft, he has a high position and authority, and he handles all major and minor affairs of the court, and the emperor cannot do without him at all.
So even if you are greedy for a little money, at most it is a demotion and fine, and it does not damage the fundamentals. As long as he is still favored, he will soon be able to return to his post.
But it would be a disaster if he was charged with treason. No matter how much the emperor thinks highly of him, he still needs his life. In the past, Lord Yongzheng loved Nian Gengyao so much, but when he felt disobedient, he would kill him as usual without any hesitation.
"Say!" Qianlong shouted loudly.
He Shen then told the story of his acquaintance with the white lady.
It turned out that he started dating Bai Suzhen ten years ago. At that time, he didn't know that the white lady was the emperor's biological mother. It's just because she gave a lot of money that she defended her so much.
It wasn't until the emperor brought him to Yunzhou to look for the white lady that he guessed that she might be the emperor's biological mother. But he couldn't tell Qianlong about it.
Firstly, the White Snake was a Han Chinese. Qianlong had such a biological mother, so he was half of Han Chinese blood. This may not be beneficial to his rule. And Qianlong is his biggest backer, if Qianlong falls, then he will also be finished.
Secondly, Bai Suzhen had many shady business deals with him. If she told Qianlong after meeting, it would be a great disadvantage to him.
So while he was pretending to help the emperor find his biological mother, he was hiding the truth, which caused the emperor to search blindly in Yunzhou. Anyway, he knew in his heart that the emperor couldn't leave the palace for a long time, and he could look for it for at most half a month, and if he couldn't find it, he could just forget it.
When the smoke clears, everything will be as usual.
…
"Your Majesty, this servant has absolutely no conspiracy, absolutely no conspiracy, Your Majesty is clearly aware, Your Majesty is clearly aware!" After He Shen finished speaking, he kowtowed and cried bitterly.
"Your Majesty, I can also testify for He-sama." Xiang Nan cupped his hands, "The white lady has been running a business in Yancheng for decades. At that time, He-sama hadn't made a fortune yet, so she couldn't possibly be her backer."
He Shen gave Xiang Nan a grateful look when he heard it.
"Hmph, no matter how you say it, you are also guilty of deceiving the emperor!" Qianlong said angrily.
"The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin. The slave also does not want the country to be in turmoil, so he dare not tell the truth to the Holy One." He Shen quickly defended himself.
"Hmph, don't think I can't see through your selfishness." Qianlong glared at him, "Okay, get out of here, and I'll deal with you later!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Your Majesty." He Shen quickly got up on the ground.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I also feel that she has nothing to fear." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "I suggest searching the old lady's house immediately to find more evidence."
"Ji Xiaolan, you are bold!" He Shen yelled loudly.
Can the home of the emperor's birth mother be searched casually?
When Qianlong heard this, he nodded.
At the beginning, he really wanted to find the white lady, recognize her, and take her back to Beijing to share the family relationship.
But when I went to Yancheng, I saw that the White Snake was not only a rich businessman, but also a villain, with a lot of crimes.
What shocked him even more was that she also colluded with courtiers, fornicated with the palace, and had mysterious figures as protective umbrellas. There was very likely a conspiracy in it.
The most ruthless emperor's family!
Once imperial power is involved, even close relatives of flesh and blood have to step aside.
Therefore, Qianlong was no longer as determined as before regarding the matter of admitting his mother. Even if he recognized the white lady as his biological mother, it would be impossible for him to share the happiness of family as he thought before.
…
Xiang Nan immediately took Qianlong, Heshen, Du Xiaoyue and others to the old lady's house to search.
Gold and silver jewellery, silk satin, letter books...all were searched out.
And also found a half-faced golden lock in the Buddhist hall, and a statue of Avalokitesvara in white with the word [Yong] written on it.
"Master, this half-faced golden lock..." He Shen said in surprise.
Qianlong brought a pair, exactly the same as his golden locks.
"This Avalokitesvara seems to come from Prince Yong's Mansion." He Shen said again, "Master, this white lady may really be your biological mother."
Qianlong nodded, took a long breath, tears flickered in his eyes.
"Ji Xiaolan, make arrangements, I will go to jail to see the old lady." He said emotionally.
Xiang Nan nodded.
…
While Xiang Nan, Qianlong, He Shen, Du Xiaoyue and others searched the White House, Fu Kang'an was called out by the Fourth Girl.
"Master Fu, I hope you can let the Fourteenth Prince go." The fourth girl said.
"Sier, what do you mean?" Fukang'an pretended to be innocent.
"Master Fu, you know that the prince has no intention of disobedience, so why did you frame him?" The fourth girl said again, "You ordered people to pretend to be the Tiandihui, and coerce the prince to rebel. What is the purpose?"
"Huh, so you already know." Seeing her telling the truth, Fu Kang'an stopped pretending and snorted coldly, "It is said that Lord Kangxi wanted to pass on the throne to the Fourteenth Prince.
Although it is not true, there are many rumors and many believers, which is quite detrimental to the emperor's rule. As a subject, it is natural to share the worries of the emperor. As long as the Fourteenth Prince is removed, the rumors will naturally be dispelled. "
"Just because of a rumor, you are going to kill the fourteenth prince?" The fourth girl said in surprise.
"Sier, I am a knife in the hands of the emperor. If I don't kill people, this knife will rust and be useless." Fu Kang'an sighed.
"Okay, Lord Fu, Ah Si knows that you like me and has always wanted me." The fourth girl nodded, "As long as you promise to let the fourteenth prince go, Ah Si is willing to agree with you. Otherwise, if something happens to the prince, Ah Si can only be accompanied by death."
