My subjects are too rebellious!

"Zhengxiang."

"Your Majesty, the servant is here."

"Go, bring He Shen here for me."

"According to the order."

Wu Zhengxiang took the emperor's oral order and trotted out in two steps.

Zhang Rang, who was standing aside, looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, trying his best to reduce his presence.

Qin Chuan knew it from the first time he met Heshen.

Heshen was not a person who had to be killed.

On the contrary, I think Heshen is a rare talent.

Which of the ministers in the court is not greedy? They all try to squeeze money from the common people.

This is also the key to these civil officials' wealth.

It’s just that they don’t have as many methods as Heshen.

Moreover, they are not like Heshen, who can do it openly for money.

It would ruin their reputation.

So for example, people like Qin Hui, Yan Song and others all made money secretly.

Thinking back to the impression I had of Heshen in my previous life, he was a good helper to the emperor.

Even though Emperor Qianlong traveled to the south of the Yangtze River every day, he didn't really take care of things.

All problems at the court will be dealt with quickly.

This is the importance of Heshen.

The most important point is that Heshen's loyalty to himself is 50.

Niuhulu Shanbao, whose courtesy name was Baoku, was given the highest title, Duke Luding, and was nicknamed Big Daizi.

AKA Heshen, and Mengmeng.

Of course, that Heshen was a descendant of the Manchu Eight Banners, and this Heshen is Heshen.

The chubby Heshen had just walked out of Taihe Gate and was about to go to Baihua Tower to listen to some music.

What happened today really scared him.

My little heart is still pounding until now.

Just as I was about to get on the carriage, Zhengxiang's voice came from behind me.

"My Lord, please stay, please stay."

Heshen, who had just lifted the curtain and stepped into the carriage, turned his head to look at Zhengxiang who was jogging towards him.

He quickly put on a smiling face.

"Eunuch Wu, you are here."

"Oh, why are you running so fast?"

Wu Zhengxiang patted his chest, and after he calmed down, he said, "Master He, please get going."

"Your Majesty is waiting for you."

Heshen quickly put on a smile, took out a silver note of 50,000 from his sleeve and handed it over.

Looking at the two young eunuchs beside Wu Zhengxiang, each of them handed over a silver note worth five thousand taels.

The two young eunuchs looked at Wu Zhengxiang and did not dare to take it for a moment.

Wu Zhengxiang naturally noticed their interested looks, but he still pretended not to know and took the banknote from Heshen's hand.

Seeing him take it, the two young eunuchs were overjoyed and took the silver note.

"Eunuch Wu, His Majesty is looking for me so anxiously, what's the matter?"

"By the way, Eunuch Wu, who else did you pass it on to?"

Seeing them take the banknotes, Heshen immediately approached Zhengxiang and asked.

"Only you."

When Heshen heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

By yourself? Or after the morning court session?

"How does the emperor feel now?"

Heshen continued to ask.

"I'm in a good mood. I was laughing just now."

Before Zhengxiang could say anything, the young eunuch who had collected the money behind him immediately responded.

Wu Zhengxiang turned around and glanced coldly at the young eunuch, urging him, "Master He, hurry up, the emperor is still waiting for us."

"Thank you, Eunuch Wu, for leading the way."

...

With a nervous mood, I followed Zhengxiang all the way to the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

Looking at the Dragon Scale Guards standing at the door and the Black Armor Army on both sides of the Imperial Road.

Heshen's mind was filled with the bloody scene of these fierce soldiers slaughtering the Yeluhe cavalry.

A cold sweat unconsciously appeared on Heshen's forehead.

He looks serious and ruthless.

But, I definitely love money.

In this world, is there anyone who doesn't love money?

Heshen subconsciously touched his sleeves, and taking advantage of the opportunity of passing by, he quickly stuffed the silver bills into the waists of the two Dragon Scale Guards.

Although I didn't see the face value of the banknote clearly, the feel of it was definitely fifty thousand taels.

Then, Heshen gave the two Dragon Scale Guards a look that said "you know".

Continue to follow Wu Zhengxiang into the Qianqing Palace.

A big round head, a fat body, and lively eyes.

Greedy and cunning eloquence, unparalleled flattery skills.

This is Qin Chuan's comment on Heshen's appearance.

It's chubby, but quite cute.

Name: He Shen

Position: Chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Loyalty: 50

Talents: Money-making (when in charge of finances, intelligence is greatly improved, and there is a certain chance of making a windfall), financial management (greatly improves the ability to make money)

Martial Arts: Basic Punches and Kicks (White)

Internal Force: None

Realm: not in the flow

As expected of He Baobao, he is an expert at making money.

This is a treasure.

As soon as Heshen entered the hall, he bowed every three steps and performed the ceremony in a very proper manner.

"I, Heshen, greet your majesty."

"Long live your majesty."

"My Lord, get up."

Heshen did not hear any dissatisfaction in the emperor's voice, but rather a hint of satisfaction, so he raised his head.

But just as he stood up, he saw Wu Zhengxiang's actions, and his body, which was already half-standing, froze.

"Master He, what a generous gift! 50,000 taels of silver."

Then, two Dragon Scale Guards came forward and handed the two silver bills to Wu Zhengxiang.

"Lord He is truly the richest man in our Great Wu Dynasty. This one investment is 150,000 taels of silver. What a huge sum."

Although Qin Chuan was smiling, in Heshen's eyes, this smile was extremely dangerous.

Without saying a word, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was wrong! Please punish me."

"Peng!"

Qin Chuan slammed the imperial desk and shouted.

"You are so good, Heshen, you took the silver from my Dawu Dynasty's treasury and came to me to bribe my people."

"Tell me, what are you up to?"

He Shen quickly defended himself, saying, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. Please punish me."

"Take my money and do your own thing. You are just being nice to me, sir."

Heshen was just about to say something when the two young eunuchs standing nearby immediately knelt down in panic.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Qin Chuan glanced at him coldly and said without a trace of emotion: "Drag him away and chop him off."

"If anyone around me dares to accept bribes, this will be the outcome!"

After receiving the order, the four Dragon Scale Guards immediately stepped forward and dragged the two young eunuchs out like dead dogs.

Only the screams for mercy echoed in the hall and in Heshen's ears: Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, I know I am wrong...

Heshen's heart had fallen to the bottom at this moment.

Qin Chuan looked at the two five thousand tael silver notes in his hand and asked with a smile.

"Heshen, tell me, how much are the annual salaries of those two young eunuchs?"

Heshen replied immediately without even thinking about it.

"Your Majesty, the two eunuchs just now are sixth-rank palace eunuchs, and their monthly salary is 6 taels of silver."

"Including the monthly rice, public funds, and the grace money, the total for the two of us is about 212 taels per year."

Hearing this answer, Qin Chuan raised the five thousand taels of silver in his hand.

"That is to say, this silver note is equivalent to the total salary of this little eunuch for 47 years."

"Haha, you are worthy of being my chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You are in charge of the national treasury, so you must be rich."

"Three years as a prefect, 100,000 silver coins. The officials of the Dawu Dynasty don't even make as much as a eunuch."

"It's ridiculous."

Heshen could already tell that the emperor was angry, and he was extremely scared.

Lying on the ground, trembling all over.

"He Shen, you are guilty."

"I know my crime."

"Since you know your crime, come here!"

"Drag He Shen away and chop him off!"

Heshen was really panicked now. In his eyes, the Dragon Scale Guard was even more terrifying than evil spirits.

He Shen shouted as he looked at the two Dragon Scale Guards getting closer and closer to him.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I was wrong. I deserve death."

"But please spare my life, Your Majesty. From now on, I will follow Your Majesty's orders."

He watched as two Dragon Scale Guards had already lifted him up and were ready to drag him away.

He Shen shouted at the top of his lungs: "Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty, I really know I was wrong."
