Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Hahahaha...

Wang Danwang's laughter echoed in Xingtai.

The command arrow fell.

Puff.

Wang Danwang's head fell to the ground.

……

"Your Majesty, at three o'clock this afternoon in the busy streets of Hangzhou, I have already executed Wang Danwang."

Heshen reported.

Emperor Gai Zhang hummed and said, "What did Wang Danwang say before his execution?"

He Shen said: "He said that he burst into tears and kept saying that he could not repay the emperor's kindness in this life, and that he could only work like a slave in the next life and be loyal to the emperor again."

Emperor Gai Zhang nodded and said, "Wang Danwang's words before his execution were not foolish. What do the people think?"

He Shen said, "Um... I was supervising the execution at the time. I was on the execution platform, far away from the people. I was so focused on supervising the execution that I didn't pay attention. Lord Mo didn't have anything to do at the time, so you can ask him."

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty, the people of Hangzhou are cheering and jubilant. They say that Your Majesty's move is very pleasing to the people and is cause for celebration."

The Emperor had just walked to the table and said, "Is it something to celebrate? In my opinion, it is something to be lamented. I killed their father and mother."

He Shen echoed, "Your Majesty is right. These people understand right and wrong. As long as the person they kill is of higher status and greater value than themselves, they are secretly happy. Today, Your Majesty killed Wang Danwang, and the people of Hangzhou cheered. If Your Majesty kills Lord Mo tomorrow, the people of Hangzhou will cheer just the same."

Upon hearing this, Mo Li glanced at Heshen.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent.

He said, "Yes, Lord He has a point. If the emperor ordered the execution of Lord He, the whole country would rejoice."

Heshen looked uncomfortable.

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "This is not the people's fault. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I am in a bad mood today and don't want to listen to you. If you have nothing to say, please leave first." Then he opened his folding fan.

Mo Li said, "I'll take my leave." He glanced at Heshen and left the scene.

Seeing that Heshen refused to leave, Emperor Gai Zhang asked, "Do you have anything else to say, sir?"

He Shen said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask for your guidance. Over forty members of the royal family are currently detained at the Governor's Office. I don't know what to do with them. Please advise me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Wang Danwang enriched himself by feasting on the people. This had nothing to do with his family, but he fled to Gansu under the pretext of attending a funeral. His family is guilty of knowing the truth and failing to report it. According to Qing law, all male family members will be exiled to the army, and the female family members will be sent back to Ningguta to be enslaved by the armored men."

He Shen said: "Since this is the case, I would like to ask the emperor for a reward."

Emperor Gai Zhang waved his folding fan and said, "Except Su Qinglian, I will give anyone you want."

Heshen was hesitant.

Emperor Gai Zhang continued, "Su Qing has pity on me and has kept her in the imperial court. She is unaware of Wang Danwang's secret plan to attack Chencang. Those who are unaware will not be punished."

He Shen said, "I understand."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I heard that Wang Danwang wanted to marry Su Qinglian to you in order to win her over. Is that true?"

Heshen immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is very perceptive. Wang Danwang does have this intention, but I am devoted to my master and have refused it in person."

Emperor Gai Zhang smiled and said, "Alright, alright, get up, get up."

He Shen still didn't get up and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Since you have already refused in person, what crime have you committed?"

Heshen stood up.

Emperor Gai Zhang continued, "Su Qinglian is young and beautiful, not to mention extremely talented, but something so serious has happened to her family. It's clear that beauty is often envied by heaven. However, I'm worried that someone might take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of her misfortune."

He thought to himself that Su Qinglian belongs to Mo Li, how could I give her to you?
