He Shen continued to speak at this time,

"Then long live the grace to me, in the first month of the forty-first year, I was awarded the title of Left Servant of the Ministry of Households, in March I was awarded the title of Minister of Military Aircraft, and in April, I was awarded the title of Minister of Internal Affairs...... In just half a year, Shen and I went from being ordinary guards to the highest level of power in the Qing Dynasty and becoming the favored ministers of Long Live Lord's cronies. Hehe......"

At the end, He Shen smiled quite proudly, and Li Zhi also felt that this was indeed the case.

"And then you started embezzling?"

Li Zhi asked, Li Zhixin said when did you start embezzling! Do you mean, you want to make others jealous of you when you talk so much nonsense?

"Corruption? No, no, no! I didn't want to be corrupt at that time, I already had a lot of money, 20,000 taels of silver a year! Enough for my family to eat and dress well! And I am grateful for the emperor's grace, how can I be corrupt? ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi was a little confused, what's going on, the rhythm is wrong, you're not greedy, what's the matter with that money? If you're not corrupt, who else will I interview? What the hell is going on? Suddenly remembered that He Shen didn't have gold and silver at home, so he really didn't embezzle? But it's not scientific...... Li Zhi was puzzled

"With all due respect, and my lord, you are not corrupt, so these?"

Li Zhi pointed to these things on the ground, what was the matter with the jewelry that was bright and shaking, and his eyes were painful? Don't tell me these things come running on their own with long legs! Look at that Jade Buddha! Such a big jade is rare in the whole world, and the whole box of big pearls, coral, and agate, are they all coming by themselves? Li Zhi thinks that He Shen is pretending to be b, you are not corrupt? Is there still corruption in the world?

He Shen closed his eyes, as if he was reminiscing, and seemed to be a little unwilling, and then closed his eyes tightly as if he was resigned, and He Shen stood up and saluted Li Zhishen, and then returned to his place and sat down, his voice was a little low, and he slowly spoke about the things that made Li Zhi stunned......

"Hooray...... Alas...... Mr. Reporter, do you say that if it were you, would you dare to embezzle so many things? ”

He Shen suddenly looked at Li Zhi and asked Li Zhi a question.

"Uh...... This one...... Probably not."

After Li Zhi thought about it from another position, he didn't say whether he had the ability, he didn't dare to put himself in his shoes, this is a feudal society, and he may be beheaded at any time.

"Yes, then why do Shen and I dare to embezzle so much? Isn't it that Shen Sheng and I are much bolder than others? Or did I eat ambition and swallow leopard gall? ”

He Shen's face was a little sad, and then continued

"Even if I dare to be greedy, I am greedy for so many things, won't the imperial historian play the emperor? Could it be that Shen and I have more heads than others? Then why did my emperor never investigate me thoroughly? Let me be wantonly embezzled, and there are dozens of silver numbers in my hands, and each silver number has 10,000,000 taels of silver! There are also tens of millions of taels of gold! ”

Li Zhi heard this amazing number! Ten thousand taels? The Qing Dynasty did not have a unit of 100 million, 10,000 taels is 100 million! Each family has 100 million taels of silver, that's billions of taels! No wonder you can't see gold and silver at home, it turns out that they are all in the silver number!

"Because it's a mission given to me by Banzai! Let me embezzle! ”

Li Zhi stood up when he heard this, what? Qianlong let Heshen be corrupt? This...... It's too fake, isn't it so dramatic?

"What! Do you say it again? ”

"I said, long live let me be corrupt, I am corrupt by order!"

Then He Shen recounted what happened that day:

That day, Qianlong called He Shen to the palace, put on a banquet, and there was no one to wait, He Shen and Qianlong were alone, He Shen was a little panicked, Qianlong smiled and let He Shen sit down and personally poured a glass of wine for He Shen, and Shen was like sitting on pins and needles, but Qianlong whispered to He Shen,

"Aiqing, how do I treat you?"

As soon as He Shen heard this, he hurriedly said long live:

"Long live the slave who is as kind as a mountain!"

Qianlong smiled slightly, helped He Shen and said

"Aiqing, I also think it's good to treat you, there are not many people in the world who can be promoted as fast as you, although there is an ancient story about Gan Luo worshipping the prime minister, but there are also two years of promotion to the cabinet of Heshen, although they are all called long live me, but there have been many emperors throughout the ages, how many people have lived to be more than 100 years old? Hehe, Heshen, do you know how much money was spent on controlling the Yellow River last year? Two million taels! But the Yellow River is blocked every year, and it is repaired every year! I'm not afraid to spend money, but I don't like to spend useless money, money feeds corrupt officials, but hurts the people! Do you think I'm spending this money a bit unjustly? ”

He Shen listened to Qianlong's inexplicable words in a daze, and didn't know how to answer, although he often felt the holy will, but this brainless word, He Shen also listened to it in a daze.

"Hooray, I don't know...... What does Wechen need to do? ”

Although I don't understand, but He Shen is well versed in the way of being an official, and what the superior says must have his intentions, just like Qianlong at this time, what he said does not need He Shen to understand for the time being, but needs He Shen's attitude, and He Shen also happened to express his attitude, I don't care what you want to do, I will care what I need to do.

After Qianlong heard He Shen's words, he nodded with satisfaction.

"I want to take back this money, I know that this money is in the hands of this group of corrupt officials! But how can I take it back? Doesn't it make others laugh? Besides, if you investigate thoroughly at this time, the implication is too great! When the time comes, the court will be in turmoil......"

He Shen knelt down again after hearing this......

"Minister...... Minion...... If you are willing, take it back for your master! ”

At this time, He Shen was already in tears, and He Shen knew that the reputation of this life was over, but in order to repay the emperor's grace, he could only do this.

He Shen understood what Qianlong meant, Qianlong needed someone who could help him take out the money of those corrupt people out of his pocket, Qianlong also understood what He Shen meant, he was willing to be this person, and the title was changed, at this time He Shen was no longer an official of the Qing Dynasty, but a domestic slave of the Aixin Jueluo family, a slave of Qianlong's private secrets.

After Li Zhi listened to what He Shen said, he sat there and was a little speechless, it seems that many things really need to be seen with his own eyes, otherwise how can he know the truth of the facts? For example, in the case of He Shen, we all know that He Shen is a corrupt official, but how do you know why He Shen is greedy? In fact, if you think about it carefully, no matter how greedy a person is, there is always a limit, not to mention spending Heshen's money in the end, even if it is a few taels of silver, it is enough for Heshen to count several lifetimes, so why don't you stop? Just quietly waiting for death? How is this possible?

"And the adults are really ...... O loyalist! ”

Li Zhi finally spoke, because He Shen's eyes were a little red at this time, Li Zhi didn't know how to comfort him, how to say this, in feudal society, how important is a person's reputation, how much the ancients cherished the reputation, and He Shen read the book of sages, even more so, but for the sake of Qianlong, he could only bear the infamy himself.
