Chapter 494 495 [Deeply disappointing me]
"My son has become the emperor. I should have been the queen mother. I should be the one who sat in the palace of compassion and accepted the worship of all the officials!" The white lady roared full of resentment,
"I want to hear my son call me a mother, but my son calls someone else a mother! Is Yongzheng fair to me? Is Daqing fair to me? Is God fair to me? I hate this world! I hate Da Ching! I hate all of them!
So I want revenge, I want to ruin this world. I have a hard time alone, and neither should everyone. "
"Mother~" Hearing what she said, Qianlong couldn't help feeling guilty, painful, and frightened.
He didn't expect his mother's resentment to be so great, and her revenge mentality to be so strong. In order to vent his personal anger, he actually wants to take revenge on the whole society.
His deeds can be pitied, and his heart can be punished!
…
Qianlong then took the white lady back to the White Mansion. But how to deal with her gave him a headache.
Picking her back to Beijing and sharing a family relationship will definitely not work. Her resentment was so great, and she wanted to take revenge on the society and take her back to the capital, but she didn't know how much trouble she would cause.
It is not acceptable to deal with her according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty and behead her. No matter how heinous she was, she was his biological mother after all. If he doesn't care about family affection, disregards filial piety, and beheads her, not only will his filial piety be unbearable, but if it spreads, it will also endanger his rule.
After all, for the convenience of ruling, all dynasties have vigorously advocated filial piety. If the emperor beheaded his biological mother, it would be a great disobedience. Once such infamy is carried on the back, the legitimacy of ruling will be lost.
…
Getting up early, Qianlong called Xiang Nan to discuss countermeasures.
"Your Majesty, you didn't have a good rest last night." Xiang Nan saw that he had two big dark circles under his eyes, like a panda, and his eyes were still bloodshot, so he knew that he must have stayed up all night.
"I can't sleep." Qianlong sighed, "Ji Aiqing, now I am sure that the White Snake is my biological mother. But how to deal with her is really worrying."
"Your Majesty, I understand your feelings." Xiang Nan nodded.
It was originally a happy event for Qianlong to find his biological mother. But the white lady has committed many evils, heinous crimes, she is a veritable villain. How to deal with it will naturally embarrass Qianlong.
Plus, the development of the situation now is different from that in the play.
In the play, the White Snake saved Qianlong's life and left them at home to take care of them. Therefore, it left a very good first impression on Qianlong. In his opinion, his mother was a kind person who was willing to give, had a kind heart, and ate vegetarian food and recited Buddhism.
Moreover, Qianlong did not delve into the collusion between the White Snake and the Fourteenth Prince, and did not know the conspiracy between them, so Qianlong defended the White Snake a lot, and was even willing to give up the throne for her and accompany her to die.
However, under Xiang Nan's arrangement, Qianlong first saw the crimes committed by the white lady, and knew that she had committed a heinous crime.
Moreover, she also colluded with the fourteenth prince, bribed important officials of the court, and had an affair with the **** of the inner palace, and the conspiracy was huge. So the first impression is not good.
At this moment, in Qianlong's heart, the white lady is a vicious woman full of resentment, full of evil, and harboring evil intentions. Even if she is her own biological mother, it cannot cancel out her sins.
…
"Your Majesty, I also stayed up all night last night. I looked through the letters and account books confiscated from the old lady's house." Xiang Nan reported again, "These letters and account books recorded evidence that the old lady bribed important court officials. There are as many as 245 officials who bribed more than 10,000 taels.
Officials ranging from five thousand taels to ten thousand taels, there are three hundred and twenty-five officials. There are six hundred and seventy officials from one thousand taels to five thousand taels. Among them, Heshen took the most bribes. In ten years, he received more than 2.4 million taels of gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques.
"Oh?!" Qianlong couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, "It's really happening, let me see it!"
Xiang Nan then handed over the account books and letters to Qianlong.
Qianlong opened it and saw that it was indeed the case, and he remembered everything clearly.
"Audacity! Lawlessness!" he yelled, patting the table after reading it.
Originally thought that she bought and sold disaster relief food, bribed courtiers, and secretly made friends with eunuchs, and she was already doing a lot of evil. Unexpectedly, the amount of bribes she paid was so large that it reached tens of millions of taels.
The annual income of the imperial treasury is only 50 million taels. The amount of bribes she paid was so large, often hundreds of thousands or millions, the conspiracy was naturally not small.
Qianlong couldn't help but think of the nine sons who seized the throne during the Kangxi period. Back then, the Baye Party actively amassed wealth and bought courtiers in order to seek great power, forming an extremely powerful force. If it weren't for Lord Yongzheng's great blessings, I am afraid that the one who succeeded him would be the eighth master.
The Fourteenth Prince and the White Snake are so bold, and He Shen, Fu Kang'an and other courtiers are so greedy, I am really disappointed!
"Your Majesty, this case is of great importance. I recommend that the Fourteenth Prince be detained immediately!" Xiang Nan said, "Since the case involves the royal family, it is not appropriate to publicize it. I propose that this case be heard in secret."
"Yeah." Qianlong nodded, "What Ji Aiqing said is very pleasing to me. Well, this case will be handled by you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiang Nan nodded.
…
After getting the emperor's will, Xiang Nan immediately started to act.
"Yancheng magistrate Liu Changfu, county magistrate Fan Datong, master Xu Bin, county magistrate Zhu Boping...all captured and sent to prison!" He announced loudly.
When these officials heard this, they all collapsed to the ground, and then they were taken down like a dead dog.
"Military Minister, Minister of Lifan Academy Heshen, Household Minister Youshilang, Xiangbaiqi Deputy Commander Fukang'an, are also sent to prison!" Xiang Nan then announced.
"Bold Ji Xiaolan, you dare to detain me without proof or proof?" Fu Kang'an said angrily.
The fourth girl beside him was also very surprised. He didn't expect that just after she took refuge in Fukang'an, Fukang'an would be sent to jail. It was really beyond his expectation.
"Master Fu, you have accepted as much as 350,000 taels of silver from the white lady. You helped her transport the relief food to the capital for sale, and smuggled the Northwest army food to Yancheng to distribute to the victims..." Xiang Nan sneered, "These They are all recorded one by one, so Master Fu still wants to deny it?"
"This account is fake, I don't accept it, I want to see the emperor!" Fukangan shouted.
Taking bribes of three hundred and fifty thousand taels is not a serious crime. But selling military rations is a terrible thing. Even if the emperor loves him again, it may be difficult to forgive him.
"Master Fu, do you really want to see the emperor?" Xiang Nan looked at the fourth girl beside him, smiled coldly, then knelt down and shouted, "Mr. Ji Xiaolan respectfully invites the emperor!"
As soon as the words fell, Qianlong came out from behind the scenes with a livid face.
Immediately pointed at the fourth girl, "Come on, take her down!"
He could tell at a glance that the woman was the one who assassinated him that day.
If Du Xiaoyue hadn't rescued him in time, he would have already died by the sword.
Thanks to the book friend Qijie Weiwei for the reward, I am very grateful!
