Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

He Shen stood up nervously and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, you must not listen to him. Mo Li is prejudiced against me."

Emperor Gai Zhang looked at him and said, "Then it's up to you, He Shen."

Heshen knelt down again.

Emperor Gai Zhang continued, "Would you rather be beheaded or punished?"

He Shen was hesitating about which one to choose. He Lin helped him make the choice and said, "Your Majesty, He Shen is willing to be punished."

Heshen looked at him.

He Lin said: "Just agree to it quickly."

Heshen kowtowed until his forehead was swollen, and said, "Ah, Your Majesty, I am willing to be punished. But..."

The Emperor said, "Alright, let's do as Mo Li said. All the candidates for the imperial examination will be registered, and the distribution of silver will be handled by Mo Li."

Mo Li said, "I obey your order."

Emperor Gai Zhang looked at He Shen and said, "He Shen, you said a lot today, and I listened to everything. I believe it was all from your heart. Let me tell you, as long as I am here, you will have a good life. Even if you can buy the hearts of one person, or even eight or ten people, I'm afraid you can't buy the hearts of everyone in the world."

He Shen shook his head slightly and said, "No."

Emperor Gai Zhang continued, "Go back and hand over your academy to Mo Li, and have him ensure that all the scholars have adequate food, clothing, and homework. I must get some useful talents in this special examination."

He Shen said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will take good care of these scholars."

Emperor Gai Zhang hummed a sound and said to Mo Li, "Mo Li, you must do it thoroughly and show no mercy."

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will never show mercy to His Majesty."

Emperor Gai Zhang stood up and said, "I am here to visit these scholars."

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty, I am always here to wait for you."

He Shen stood up and said, "Your servant respectfully sees off the emperor."

He Lin also stood up.

Emperor Gai Zhang looked at He Shen and said, "He Shen, I have shown you special favor today."

He Shen said, "I know. I thank the emperor."

Emperor Gai Zhang continued, "If you still ask me to pardon you even more, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences if I really get mad at you."

Heshen said yes repeatedly.

Mo Li, who was standing by, added, "Uh...if the Emperor gets angry, then you and I, my Lord, will be..."

He and Heshen made a beheading gesture at the same time.

He Shen said, "I know, and I thank the Emperor for not executing me."

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "Heshen, you should just reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors."

Heshen said yes again and again.

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "This matter is not over yet. Hey, you still have to find time to talk to me about this. After I do that..."

Mo Li interrupted, “Crack.”

Emperor Gai Zhang continued: "What are your plans after this, hahaha."

He Shen stopped Mo Li from speaking, and then nervously said, "No plans, Your Majesty, I have no plans at all."

Pointing at Mo Li, he continued, "Speaking of Ga Bang, let's talk about him. Send him to the emperor."

After Emperor Gai Zhang left, Heshen was so scared that his legs went weak and he collapsed in his chair.

Mo Li covered his face and laughed and cried.

Walked over and sat down next to Heshen.

He Shen nudged him a few times, somewhat confused, and asked, "Mo Li, why are you crying? You should be happy. You feel so happy. You got what you wanted."

Mo Li stopped crying and said, “You can’t talk like that to an adult.”

He Shen retorted: "How can I speak?"

Mo Li said, "Aren't the words you just said what you thought in your heart and spoke out of your mouth?"
