Two years ago, Nian Shilan warned the Nian family to be more cautious, but so much time has passed and nothing has happened.

The emperor still relied on the Nian family and did nothing.

Although Hua Fei is not as favored as she seems, the power to assist in managing the palace has always been in her hands, which is enough to show that the emperor values ​​Hua Fei for the sake of the Nian family.

After all, feelings and favors are all false. Only the power firmly held in your hands is real.

Whoever holds the power is the real favorite concubine.

Moreover, he deliberately ordered Su Peisheng to do something today, but the emperor didn't say anything, right?

He even took the initiative to ask Su Peisheng to do it, which must mean that he respected Nian Gengyao. He even thought that he could intimidate the emperor and the Nian family, and nothing would happen!

He is very high-spirited.

Nian Gengyao felt that his sister was worrying too much, and he laughed and said,

"Sister, why have you become so cautious since entering the palace?

This is unlike you. Let me submit another memorial tomorrow, asking the Emperor to value you more. I wonder what the Emperor said when I submitted the memorial last time? Is your sister doing well in the palace?

If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me, I will never let their father and brothers off easily!"

Although Nian Gengyao was arrogant and conceited, he was really good to his only sister, Concubine Hua.

Hua Fei knew that she could not persuade Nian Gengyao with just a few words. Only when the facts were before him would he feel fear.

However, if it really comes to that, there will probably be no room for recovery.

"Brother, you worry too much. Who in the harem can bully me? I can bully them more easily."

Hua Fei forced a smile and began to think about sending another envelope home, asking her mother and father to discipline her brother and the clansmen.

However, she also knew that if her father and mother really had self-control, the recent memorials complaining about the Nian family would not have gone unnoticed.

Last year, Nian Gengyao was still helping the emperor to crack down on corrupt officials and high-ranking officials who oppressed the poor.

This year it started to drift.

It can only be said that it is difficult to change one's nature. If the Nian family was really so easy to keep quiet, Nian Shilan would not be the only one with the best temper in the entire Nian family.

Even Nian Shishao's temper has been getting better day by day under the doting of her family. Now, Nian Shishao, who has barely reached the age of marriage, has become the undisputed little bully of the Nian family.

But this little bully still has some sense of propriety. She is just more aggressive among her peers, and is more likely to hit others when arguing with the ladies. But the family has been able to maintain peace over the years.

The problem is that the other male juniors in the Nian family have done much more serious things.

Even Nian Shilan discovered that the Nian family had signs of accepting bribes and selling official positions.

Nian Shishao told Nian Shilan about this.

The Nian Mansion actually began to expand its mansion, exceeding the scale of its construction. As for the decorations in the Nian Mansion, if any of them were discovered by the emperor, imprisonment would be the least of his punishment.

For this reason, Nian Shishao became an expert in demolishing illegal buildings. Whenever the Nian family built something, she would secretly ask someone to level it.

Now Nian Shilan can no longer contact Nian Shishao. It is obvious that Nian Shishao, who the Nian family thinks is naughty and difficult to teach, has been locked up by the Nian family.

After sending Nian Shilan back to the gate of Yiku Palace, Nian Gengyao left reluctantly.

For a woman entering the harem, it is like entering the deep sea. Every goodbye in life is full of uncertainty.

Nian Gengyao himself had been fighting outside for many years and had few opportunities to meet his family, let alone meet his sister in the deep palace.

Looking at Nian Shilan's back, Nian Gengyao suddenly sighed. In fact, he had considered the concerns that Nian Shilan mentioned.

However, his temper since childhood made him unwilling to admit defeat, and he was unwilling to believe that he would be punished by the emperor for his contribution to following the emperor.

Asking Su Peisheng to serve the dishes today was because he was impulsive.

He was also drunk and wanted to take the opportunity to test the emperor's bottom line.

Now it seems that the emperor's bottom line is very low.

So, what’s wrong with being impulsive once?

Nian Gengyao couldn't see the cold light behind the emperor's smiling face, and he was still proud of himself, thinking that his test was successful. It seemed that he still held a great weight in the emperor's heart.

-

The letter that Nian Shilan sent back home fell on deaf ears. The Nian family still insisted on their own way. With Nian Gengyao as an example, they had long forgotten the caution they had taken a year ago.

Time passes day by day.

One day, he went to court.

Several ministers, including Longkodo, jointly impeached Nian Gengyao and the younger members of the Nian family who had committed crimes.

With various charges against him, Nian Gengyao instantly became the target of public criticism and was demoted to the general of Hangzhou.

However, Nian Gengyao did not restrain himself and was demoted to the general of Hangzhou. Although he did not seem to have lost much, he lost his real power and became an official with only a title but no power.

Nian Gengyao began to select beauties from the local area to enrich his own backyard, which seriously challenged the imperial power.

Yinzhen demoted him again and asked Nian Gengyao to be a guard at the city gate, which was actually a soldier guarding the city gate.

At the same time, the younger generation of the Nian family was also demoted, and their official positions were lowered again and again. In the end, they could only support their families and had no ability to show off their power.

Because of his temper, Nian Gengyao could not escape the punishment in the original plot.

The original plot ends here, and Nian Gengyao’s fate has almost come to an end.

After Nian Gengyao left officialdom, his position was taken over by someone trained by Yinzhen himself, filling the vacancy left by Nian Gengyao and preventing the Qing Dynasty from falling into a situation where no one was available.

But Longkodo and Nian Gengyao had always been mortal enemies, so he would naturally not let him go so easily. He continued to write letters of impeachment, determined to completely crush Nian Gengyao's party, and preferably to confiscate Nian's family.

Out of consideration for Concubine Hua, Yinzhen did not intend to execute the entire Nian family, but he found out that the Nian family was very rich and was thinking about illegal construction all day long.

If the property could be confiscated and used to fill the national treasury, the soldiers on the border would not only be able to get more salaries, but would also have a lot of money to spend on building thermal weapons.

The Qing Dynasty had already begun to enter the era of hot weapons.

The advanced foreign things and talents brought back by Yunli were applied to the military, which was an improvement for the Qing Dynasty. However, at the same time, the investment in the production of thermal weapons also required a lot of money.

Also, Yinzhen wanted the people to have enough food and clothing, so that the upper class would not have to eat meat while the lower class would freeze to death on the streets as before.

So Yinzhen kept making money everywhere.

I wish I had Heshen by my side to help me with things.

Fortunately, although Heshen was not around, there was Yinxiang, and Yinxiang played a similar role.

And it can also help him share his worries and solve his problems.

The above things need to be done one by one.

In order to take the Nian family into his possession, Yinzhen acquiesced to Longkodo's behavior. When there was enough evidence of Nian Gengyao's crimes, Yinzhen ordered the Nian family's property to be confiscated and the Nian family was sent to jail.

Upon hearing the news, Concubine Hua could no longer sit still and went to the Yangxin Palace again to plead with the emperor.
