Chapter 495 496【Sin worthy of death】
When the fourth girl saw that Qianlong recognized her, she immediately drew her sword, jumped up, and stabbed Qianlong, "Hunjun, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost!"
"Fourth girl!" Fukangan was shocked when he saw her, and quickly stepped forward to protect her.
“Xu Xian, so you are the emperor?” Du Xiaoyue glanced at Qianlong in surprise, then stood up and started fighting with the fourth girl.
?Although the fourth girl has great martial arts skills, Du Xiaoyue and Fukang''an are equally good. Coupled with the swarming of officers and soldiers, she was finally captured.
“Fukangan, what is your relationship with this assassin?” Qianlong shouted angrily.
The woman next to him actually wanted to assassinate the king. Was it because of his instruction? ! If he wasn''t planning to rebel, what else was he planning to do? !
"Your Majesty, calm down! The fourth girl belongs to the Fourteenth Prince, and I don''t even know that she is a traitor." Fukangan kowtowed and explained.
?No matter how much he likes the fourth girl, he dare not hide it for her at this moment. Otherwise, the entire Fu family may be ruined.
“Fourteenth Emperor’s Uncle?!” Qianlong’s face darkened.
?Although he already knew that the Fourteenth Prince had evil intentions, he was still extremely shocked when he saw that there were really dead soldiers around him and he actually dared to assassinate him!
"I ordered you to investigate the treason case of the Fourteenth Prince, but you actually kept the traitor by your side?" He pointed at Fukang''an and cursed, "You are really letting me down, you are letting me down! "
"This slave deserves ten thousand death for his crime, his crime deserves ten thousand death!" Fukang''an kowtowed as if pounding garlic.
?Originally, he thought that the Fourteenth Prince had no intention of usurping the throne, so he ordered people to pretend to be the Heaven and Earth Society and kidnap him to rebel. Finally, in order to keep the fourth girl, he released the fourteenth prince.
?Now he knew that the fourteenth prince really wanted to usurp the throne, and the four girls actually dared to assassinate the king. In this way, he made a big mistake.
“Huh!” Qianlong was still angry, turned around and walked back to the back office.
Xiang Nan immediately waved his hand, and He Shen, Fukang''an, and the fourth girl were immediately taken away.
…
“Mr. Ji, it turns out that Xu Xian is the emperor, you should have told me earlier.” Du Xiaoyue complained to Xiang Nan.
"Hush!" Xiang Nan winked quickly, "The emperor came to Yancheng incognito. The fewer people who know about it, the better. I won''t tell you, it''s also for your own good."
"Okay." Du Xiaoyue nodded, "But you were so majestic just now. Even He Shen was captured by you. It was so powerful! Hey, are you going to chop off his head next?"
"It depends on the emperor''s will. I said it myself and it doesn''t count." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
?He guessed that nothing serious would happen to Heshen and Fukangan.
At first, although He Shen was greedy, he was capable. As an important military minister, he handles many national affairs. Without him, it would be difficult for military aircraft to operate.
Secondly, although He Shen is greedy, he is loyal. He was good at figuring out the holy will, flattering people, thinking of the emperor in everything, and making the emperor feel comfortable.
?For such a loyal and capable minister, even if he is greedy, it will not be considered a crime by the emperor. Qianlong even knew that he was a corrupt official, so he was willing to protect him and pardon him.
As for Fukangan, his relationship with the emperor was even more unusual. Although he got together with the fourth girl, which made the emperor feel a little chilled for a while. But as time passes, he will definitely be fine.
…
As corrupt officials such as He Shen, Fu Kang''an, Liu Changfu, and Fan Da were detained, the properties of officials such as Liu and Fan were confiscated, and White Snake''s businesses were raided. Xiang Nan soon gained nearly a million taels of wealth. and millions of stones of grain.
?So the disaster relief work in Yancheng began quickly. At this time, Xiang Nan also realized that what He Shen said was reasonable.
Save the people first, save the officials! Otherwise, the distribution of disaster relief food funds will be a huge problem.
Without officials to guide them, the hungry people were in disarray.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan was not stupid and contacted Huang Keming in time. He has a high prestige among the people in the disaster area. With the help of their group, the disaster relief work finally started.
People in the disaster area shouted long live when they saw the food, which finally put a smile on Qianlong''s face.
Xiang Nan also proposed three measures to Qianlong: [relief for work], [tax reduction and exemption], and [official borrowing] to improve people''s production and life.
"Your Majesty, the people of Yancheng have been suffering from poverty for a long time. Nine out of ten houses are empty, and the people are in dire straits. Disaster relief can only relieve temporary suffering." He explained, "I suggest that taxes be reduced or exempted for at least three years, and the government provides grain planting and small loans. , so that people can rest and recuperate.”
Qianlong was overjoyed when he heard this, "What Ji Aiqing played is all in line with my wishes. It''s accurate!"
“Long live thanks!” Xiang Nan nodded.
…
?With the implementation of a series of rescue and disaster relief measures, Yancheng gradually regained its vitality.
In the process of disaster relief, Huang Keming, the former master, played an extremely important role and was deeply loved by the emperor.
By this time, the Fourteenth Prince had also been arrested and escorted back to Yancheng.
The reason why the Fourteenth Prince was arrested so quickly was because he thought that after Qianlong found out about White Snake and knew that she was his biological mother, he would not continue to investigate further, and his identity would not be exposed.
Therefore, he did not even think about hiding, but went back to Yunzhou in a big way, and planned to return to the capital in a few days.
He did not expect Xiang Nan to handle the case so quickly and Qianlong to be so cruel. Without any precautions, he was captured quickly.
“Uncle Fourteenth Emperor, I have treated you well. After ascending the throne, I will release you from your confinement, and make you the Prince of Duoluoxun County, and make you the Commander-in-Chief of the Han Army under the Zhenghuang Banner.
No matter how I look at you, I treat you with utmost benevolence, but you secretly tamed dead soldiers, amassed wealth, won over officials, supported my biological mother, and committed heinous crimes.
Say, are you worthy of me? "Qianlong went to the prison in person and questioned him.
“Haha, this world should have been mine. If my fourth brother hadn’t usurped the throne, I should have been the emperor. How could I have been imprisoned for ten years?
Can a mere Duoluoxun County Prince and a Zhenghuang Banner Commander-in-Chief of the Han Army compensate for my losses? Can you let me be grateful to you?
Your biological mother hated Yongzheng and the Qing Dynasty. Why don’t I hate Yongzheng and the Qing Dynasty? ! I only regret that I didn''t start a rebellion back then, so that I am now a prisoner! "The Fourteenth Prince sneered.
Hearing what he said, Qianlong let out a long sigh.
The most ruthless emperor''s family! Once a big position is involved, all family ties, blood relationships, and filial piety are all gone!
"Uncle Fourteenth Emperor, you still don''t repent when things come to a head. In this case, I can''t forgive you anymore." Qianlong sighed, "Yunchen, you are my uncle after all. I won''t kill you, but you From now on, he will be under house arrest in the capital and will not be allowed to leave his residence."
“Haha, I have been under house arrest for ten years, what can I do if I am under house arrest for ten years?” The Fourteenth Prince couldn’t help but sneered.
Thank you to book friends baykalpan and Mo Xueyiyun for the reward. Thank you very much!
