Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Fu Kang'an looked disapproving and said, "Sir, you overestimate Mo Li."

He Shen smiled and said, "Mo Li is nothing. In fact, the most astute person in the world is no one other than the emperor. Think about it, Wu Zetian favored Di Renjie but didn't give up on Lai Junchen. Ming Jiajing used Hai Rui but also favored Yan Song. Why?"

Fu Kangan said, "What do you mean, sir?"

He Shen said, "A ruler hopes that the civil and military officials in his court can complement each other, yet also confront and counteract each other, thus achieving a balance. In other words, a balance, so that they can check and balance each other, naturally there will be harmony in the court and peace and prosperity for the country."

Fu Kang'an felt that he had benefited greatly from this and said, "But Mo Li repeatedly humiliated you in front of the entire court. Have you forgotten?"

He Shen shook his head and said, "Of course I won't forget, but the innocent are innocent. As long as the emperor is happy, what does it matter if we suffer a little injustice?"

Fu Kang'an said: "Your Excellency is so humble that I cannot agree with it. No wonder Mo Li is becoming more and more arrogant. As long as I get the chance, I will never let him go. Your Excellency, I will take my leave first." After saying that, he bowed and said goodbye.

He Shen looked at his departing figure and said to himself, "This Fu Kang'an is indeed young and impetuous. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you rely on your father's power? You will suffer the consequences."

……

Ah Fu was lying motionless on the bed. The doctor was treating him. Mo Li and Du Xiaoyue were sitting beside him, waiting anxiously.

Du Xiaoyue said: "I didn't expect Xiangyun to be in trouble."

The doctor turned around and said, "Master Mo, he is dying."

Mo Li said, "Doctor, please save him."

At this time, Ah Fu moved his body.

Du Xiaoyue said in surprise: "He's awake."

Mo Li said, "Ah Fu."

Ah Fu said, "Master Mo."

Mo Li said, "Where is Xiangyun now?"

Ah Fu said, "Miss Yun... is at Chen Weiyuan's house." After saying that, his head tilted and he died.

Mo Li thought that Xiangyun was indeed there, just as he expected.

……

The Emperor was in the pavilion when two eunuchs came over and presented him with a memorial, saying, "The Minister of Revenue, Hai Wang, requests that the ban on copper be lifted."

Emperor Gai Zhang looked at the memorial and said, "What does Heshen say about this matter?"

The eunuch said, "Tell your Excellency that the copper ban was a rule set by the two masters, Kangxi and Yongzheng. It is an ancestral law that must not be abolished."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Hai Wang is right. Brass is essential for the people's daily lives. If it is banned, numerous disadvantages will arise and the people will complain."

The eunuch said, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I approve the request. The ban on brass will be lifted."

The eunuch said yes.

Emperor Gai Zhang asked, "Didn't Mo Li submit a memorial?"

The eunuch said, "Yes." Another eunuch immediately presented the memorial.

The Emperor took a look and said, "So many memorials."

The eunuch said, "Lord Mo has recently written a new book and would like to invite the Emperor to review it."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Li Mo was worried that I would be lonely on the road. Last time, Li Mo showed me a book called Fox Demon Legend. It was very interesting. What did he write about?"

The eunuch said, "This time, Master Mo is writing a book called The Story of the Stone."

The Emperor was stunned and said, "The Story of the Stone? Isn't it the Dream of the Red Chamber? I told Heshen and Fukang'an not to investigate the Dream of the Red Chamber. I wonder if they followed my orders."

……

Mochou and Du Xiaoyue pretended to buy things.

Chen Weiyuan and his friends came over.

"It's a beautiful day today. Your old boss is sure to get rich. Look what a beautiful day it is."
