Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

"Oh, good." Emperor Gai Zhang nodded, "Master Mo, Master He, come and take a look at this kite."

He Shen flattered the emperor, saying, "Look at the kite you've flown. First, let's talk about this kite. It's so exquisitely made and lifelike. Now that it's flown by the emperor, it can be called the best kite in the world."

Mo Li complained, “I think you are the best flatterer in the world.”

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Mo Li, take a look."

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty, I will know whether this kite is good or not once I fly it."

He Shen couldn't help but say, "You should let it go for a while."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Mo Li, come here and let the kite fly." Mo Li walked over, took the reel from Emperor Gai Zhang, pulled the string, and the kite broke directly.

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Mo Li, can you fly a kite?"

He Shen angrily said, "Mo Li, you actually let the emperor's kite go. What crime should you take?"

Mo Li explained, "I let the emperor's kite go to remind him not to just focus on the heavens and forget about the earth."

Emperor Gai Zhang shook his folding fan and said, "Mo Li, what are you talking about?"

"Huguang is suffering from floods and the people are wailing. Your Majesty cannot turn a blind eye and just fly kites here." Mo Li said passionately.

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Mo Li, are you saying that I am an unjust and incompetent ruler?"

He Shen couldn't help but say, "Mo Li, you are deceiving the emperor and committing treason."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Mo Li, do you think I made this kite? This was made by the Eighteenth Princess."

Mo Li pretended to be confused and asked, "Eighteenth Princess?"

Emperor Gai Zhang continued, "The Eighteenth Princess heard about the flood in Huguang and stayed awake all night."

He Shen immediately flattered her, saying, "The Eighteenth Princess is truly the first to worry about the world's worries."

Emperor Gai Zhang continued, "The Empress Dowager told her that flying kites could ward off disasters and bring blessings to the victims in the disaster area. She made this kite herself that very night and told me to fly it myself."

He Shen was moved and said, "Oh, the Eighteenth Princess is truly the reincarnation of the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva. Her kindness almost brings me to tears. And you, Mo Li, actually misinterpreted the Holy Spirit and insulted the Princess's kindness. It is truly infuriating."

Mo Lixin was superstitious, absolutely superstitious. What was the point of flying a kite during the flood in Huguang? Besides, it was just a broken kite. He could just find it himself.

He knew the plot and where the kite was now.

But he said: "Your Majesty, I have misunderstood you and I deserve death."

Emperor Gai Zhang waved his folding fan and said, "Now the Empress Dowager treats the Eighteenth Princess as her precious jewel. They, the two generations of grandparents and grandchildren, have joined forces to do something good for the disaster area. I have no way to stop them."

He Shen flattered him, saying, "Your Majesty is both a filial son and a loving father. He is truly a role model for the world."

Emperor Gai Zhang looked at Mo Li and said, "Mo Li." Mo Li said, "I am here."

Emperor Gai Zhang continued, "You just let go of my kite."

Mo Li explained: "Your Majesty, I..."

Emperor Gai Zhang continued, "Bring the kite back to me within three days, and we'll write off this accusation."

Mo Li said, "I obey your command."

He Shen pointed to the sky and said, "But this kite is gone forever."

Mo Li thought for a moment and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, but what if we can't find it back?"

Emperor Gai Zhang waved his folding fan and said, "If you can't find it, you can take off your official hat and go back to your hometown to grow vegetables."

He Shen said sarcastically, "Go grow some vegetables. I'll come to you when the imperial kitchen needs some."
