Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

At this time, an old man came in. He was the owner of the tobacco shop before. He was holding something in his hand and said, "Master Mo."

Mo Li looked at him and said, "What are you doing here?"

The boss said, "I'm here to help you out."

Mo Li had been yawning non-stop. He looked at the item in the boss's hand and asked, "Tobacco leaves? Didn't I tell you I don't want any?"

The boss looked at him with concern and said, "Mr. Mo, why bother? Besides this, what other hobbies do you have? Come, take a sip of this incense, and your literary inspiration will flow like a spring. Come, take a sip of this incense."

Mo Li stood up and said, "Boss, I won't hide it from you. I have already eaten three plates of candied fruit, but I still want to smoke. Thank you." He took the tobacco leaves from the boss.

He opened the oil paper bag, smelled the tobacco leaves inside, and looked very satisfied.

……

day.

Emperor Gai Zhang and He Shen were walking on the street. He Shen pointed and said, "Master, isn't that Mo Li's home?"

Emperor Stamp said, "Is that so?"

He Shen said, "I remember now. Li Qiye has always liked collecting strange and bizarre things. He must know what new things are available in the capital right now. How about we go and take a look?"

Emperor Gai Zhang agreed.

Just as he was about to move forward, Heshen stopped him and said, "Master, we can't let him see us. We have to go in quietly."

Emperor Gai Zhang thought about it carefully and said, "Heshen, you are not planning to do anything bad to Mo Li, are you?"

Heshen smiled and said, "Look at what you said. Mo Li and I are ministers in the same palace. We are both officials of the Great Xuan Kingdom and your slaves. How can I do that? Let's go and see." He walked forward with Emperor Gai Zhang.

……

At this time, Mo Li had just finished writing an article in the study and read out the content: "To judge the righteousness of a person's character and mind, look at his own behavior in other days and the strengths and weaknesses of his talents and strategies." He nodded with satisfaction and felt that he had written very well.

Emperor Gai Zhang and He Shen quietly came to the courtyard and walked towards his study. Emperor Gai Zhang said loudly: "Mo Li, what's going on in the room?"

Mo Li was surprised when he heard this, stood up and hid the pipe in his sleeve.

He hurried over and knelt down to pay his respects, saying, "Your Majesty, your servant Mo Li respectfully welcomes you."

Emperor Gai Zhang asked him to get up.

Mo Li thanked the emperor.

The Stamp Emperor walked towards the table and said, "What kind of exercises have you been practicing recently?" He picked up the article on the table and started reading.

Heshen wanted to take a peek.

The Emperor didn't give him a chance, blocking it with his hand, then walked aside to read it, saying, "This article looks like a submission for this year's examination."

Mo Li said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I am currently drafting a memorial to eradicate all the malpractices inside and outside the examination halls."

As he spoke, Heshen raised his hand and saw the pipe hidden in his sleeve, a smug smile appeared on his face.

Emperor Gai Zhang was surprised and said, "Even if Mo Li doesn't smoke, he can still write good articles."

He Shen was about to tell Emperor Gai Zhang that Mo Li was smoking again. Mo Li stopped him and interrupted him, saying, "Yes, yes, yes."

Emperor Gai Zhang continued to read the article written by Mo Li and said, "This article is well written. I dare not follow the old ways and sway with the popular sentiment."

While he was speaking, Heshen kept holding Mo Li's left arm with a smug smile on his face.

Heshen's laughter was heard by Emperor Gai Zhang, who shouted, "Heshen, what are you laughing at again?"

He Shen came up to him and said, "Your Majesty, how dare I laugh at you? I'm not laughing at Mo Li's article...it's meaningful. I'm happy for Lord Mo. Look, he said he wouldn't smoke, and he really didn't. He really lived up to your Majesty's expectations."
