Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Mo Li said, "I, Mo Li, haven't heard such a voice in a long time."

Xiumei said, "Master Mo, my master scolded you, why are you still praising her?"

Mo Li said, "Xiumei, you don't know this. Honest advice hurts, and it's really rare to hear such a voice. Usually, I hear only flattery. It's very rare for Mo Chou to say this to me."

Mo Chou said, "Master Mo, a gentleman can never defeat a villain."

Mo Li said, "Mo Chou, thank you. I will keep your words in my heart."

Xiumei still didn't quite understand and looked confused.

……

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager traveled with great fanfare, with both sides of the road filled with soldiers, eunuchs, and palace maids.

When Emperor Gai Zhang saw He Shen and Fu Kang An, he was also very happy and said, "My two beloved ministers."

Heshen called out "Your Majesty".

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I am accompanying the Queen Mother to Mount Tai. I hope you will take care of the affairs of the court."

He Shen said, "How dare I not devote myself to the cause?"

Fu Kang'an said, "Your Majesty, there are several cases of anti-book corruption that must be investigated immediately."

Emperor Gai Zhang's expression was serious. He said, "Another anti-book?"

Fu Kangan said: "Yes, one is the case of Xu Shukui's anti-poetry."

He Shen said: "This person openly stated in his poem that he would rise to prominence in the Ming Dynasty and leave Xuandu in one fell swoop."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "What?"

He Shen said: "This is obviously to revive the Ming Dynasty, get rid of my Da Xuan."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Why don't you investigate?"

Fu Kang'an said, "Yes, Your Majesty, there is also the Ding Wenbin anti-poetry case, the Yu Tengjiao anti-poetry case, and the Dream of the Red Chamber anti-book case."

Emperor Gai Zhang was startled and said, "Dream of the Red Chamber?"

He Shen said: "This book uses red to represent Zhu, and insults our two emperors Kangxi and Yongzheng to the point of being completely ruthless. It is extremely vicious."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Fukang'an, before I return to the capital, you must thoroughly investigate all these cases."

Fu Kangan said, "Yes."

The Stamp Emperor added, "Anyone who collects, reads, circulates, copies, prints, or sells this book will be arrested."

Fu Kangan said, "Yes."

"Wait, Dream of the Red Chamber?" The Emperor thought to himself that he was confused. How could Dream of the Red Chamber be a counter-book? He said, "Don't investigate the case of the counter-book in the Red Chamber for now. I will investigate it myself when I return."

Heshen and Fukang'an looked at each other and asked in unison: "Your Majesty, why?"

The Emperor said, "I have read the book Dream of the Red Chamber. Aside from the questionable title, the content is not particularly rebellious."

"Oh?" Heshen and Fukang'an were both stunned. They both thought that the emperor had already seen it. How could this be possible?

Could it be that Mo Li got there first and showed Dream of the Red Chamber to the emperor? But how is that possible?

How did Qi Qi know about their plans?

Heshen and Fukang'an were really puzzled.

Unable to figure out the matter, the two gave up. Then, remembering something, Heshen said, "Your Majesty, some ministers in the court are also involved."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "You are acting according to the order. All ministers involved in the case will be arrested without mercy."

Heshen said, "I obey your order." Then he and Fukang'an looked at each other and smiled.

……

Mo Li, who was standing next to him, had already seen everything and thought that the emperor was not that confused.

Du Xiaoyue said: "Brother Li, the queen came later."

Li Qiye said, "Xiaoyue, don't you have something to give to the Queen Mother? Go quickly."

Du Xiaoyue said "oh" and came to the Queen Mother and said, "Xiaoyue pays homage to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother said, "Yue'er, I was thinking of you. What are you holding in your hand?"

Du Xiaoyue said, "Queen Mother, this is for your use on the road."
