Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Heshen heard the sound of the arrow falling to the ground, looked down and picked it up.

He Shen said calmly, "Your Majesty, I can see that you are not in a good mood today. How about trying another arrow?"

Emperor Gai Zhang handed the bow to his attendant and said, "Forget it, I often make mistakes too."

Mo Li looked at him, frowned, and said, "Why does Your Majesty say that?"

The Emperor said, "The Emperor's harsh and merciless law enforcement has caused all the officials to tremble in fear. When the government is clean and honest, it is inevitable that some officials will be harsh and ungrateful. Since I came to power, I have hoped to correct the Emperor's harshness and rule the country with leniency. I also hope that the officials will be grateful for my kindness, but I never thought..." He walked to the stone table and sat down. Mo Li and He Shen followed.

Mo Li said, "I never thought these corrupt officials would exploit the Emperor's generosity to indulge their selfish desires. In the past, corrupt officials were rampant before the incident, but they all surrendered afterward. Today, corrupt officials actually dare to abandon their homes and flee. Your Majesty, if you dare not flee after breaking the law, you still understand the laws of the country. If you flee after breaking the law, it means you have no regard for the country or the Emperor."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "In fact, governing a country is nothing more than two things. The first is respect. A wise and enlightened emperor naturally inspires respect. The second is fear. Strict punishments and strict laws let the people know what is allowed and what is not allowed. Now it seems that I have only emphasized respect and neglected fear."

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty, this cannot be said to be entirely your responsibility. Master He, don't you agree?"

He Shen disagreed and said, "Why are you dragging me into this again?"

Just as Mo Li was about to speak, He Shen interrupted him and continued, "Besides, putting me and the Emperor together is extremely disrespectful. What do you mean by that?"

Mo Li said "He Sir".

Heshen looked at him strangely.

Mo Li continued, "Your Majesty, as they say, it's better to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost. Since Your Majesty knows you are wrong, then take immediate action."

Emperor Gai Zhang was undecided for a moment and said, "Mo Li, tell me what you think."

Mo Li said, "First of all, the list of all the bribery cases in this university has been found. All of these people will be sentenced to death."

He Shen said, "Your Majesty, isn't this too cruel? Didn't Lord Mo successfully prevent these bribed candidates from cheating and causing them to fail the exam? In my opinion, a twenty-year ban is sufficient."

Emperor Gai Zhang hummed and said, "Just do as He Shen said. Uh... who should we send to arrest Min De?"

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty, with your talent and ability, capturing Min De is definitely not a problem. If you can't catch him, then it means you are letting him go without permission."

Mo Li had long known that Heshen had tipped off Minde, so he asked the other party to capture him.

He Shen said, "What are you talking about?"

Emperor Gai Zhang raised his left hand and said, "Yes, from today on, I order you to capture Min De. If you fail to capture Min De, I will hold you accountable."

He Shen looked embarrassed and said, "Look at what you said, Your Majesty, how could this Min De not be caught? I will definitely catch him. Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely catch him."

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "Then I will wait for your good news."

Zhao Xinjin was reading in the room when Mo Li walked in. Zhao Xinjin heard the footsteps, raised his head, looked at him, stood up, bowed, and said, "Master Mo, you are here."

Mo Li said, "Congratulations, Mr. Zhao. I, Mo Li, have finally given an explanation to the scholars of Jiangnan."

Because of Mo Li's obstruction, Zhao Xinjin had already become a juren when the results were announced before, but Mo Li only came to celebrate now.
