Chapter 38: The Empire Will Eventually Fall
"Gong Guard, do you have something?" It's been a long time since we've seen each other like this! Emperor Qianlong didn't raise his head, and said expressionlessly.
The black shadow didn't say anything, but saw him half-kneeling on the ground, holding a piece of music in his hand, and said, "The minister has a music!" ”
Obviously, Emperor Qianlong still trusted him, otherwise he would not have let him swagger into this Heart Nourishing Palace.
Emperor Qianlong suddenly looked at him, raised his head, and said sharply: "Gong guard, do you know that ministers can't interfere in politics, do you know." Are there any consequences for you to do this? ”
Obviously, the black shadow was not intimidated by Emperor Qianlong's intimidation: "Your Majesty, for the sake of my Qing Dynasty, the ministers will risk death to admonish!" ”
What the black shadow said was serious, and Emperor Qianlong couldn't help but believe it, but Emperor Qianlong didn't show it in his eyes.
"Gong Yan! Have you forgotten that? I only heard Qianlong suddenly roar.
Gong Yan said without humility or arrogance: "Your Majesty, the ministers dare not forget, but they dare to forget the country!" Although Chen is an inconspicuous figure, he also knows this truth. ”
As he spoke, Qianlong waved his hand, and Gong Yan retreated with interest.
Emperor Qianlong put down all his work, picked up Gong Yan's piece of music and looked at it carefully, because he knew that this Gong Yan would not joke with his life, this must be a major matter!
Emperor Qianlong looked at the contents of the recital and fell into deep thought.
It was late at night, and Qianlong had to end the day's work, after all, people's energy is limited.
……
On the second day, Shang Shufang
Qianlong started this day's work again, in fact, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were very diligent, but this dynasty was not the emperor who could govern it diligently, the feudal system and the imperial system had come to an end, but the class nature of the Qing Dynasty emperors doomed them to be impossible to abolish the feudal system, and they could only make small repairs on the original basis, so the Qing Dynasty would eventually perish.
The eunuch An Hong stood quietly behind Qianlong, and Qianlong raised his head and asked, "An Hong, how many years have you been with me?" ”
An Hong thought for a while and said, "Back to the master, it has been 14 years since the day I entered the palace. ”
Qianlong thought about it again and said, "You say, will an enemy who was many years ago lie to me about what he said?" ”
An Hong thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, dare to ask how this enemy is now?" ”
"Now it's no longer an enemy."
An Hong said: "The emperor's servant doesn't understand the relationship between you and this old man, but in the humble opinion of the minister, since he is no longer an enemy now, there is no reason to frame him." ”
Qianlong nodded, as if agreeing with An Hong's words.
This An Hong can stand out in the fierce competition, and he has been by Qianlong's side for a long time, because he speaks properly, knows what to say and what not to say, and he knows the truth of self-preservation.
Qianlong picked up Gong Yan's piece again and looked at it, anger gradually flashed on his calm face, and the hand holding the piece gradually trembled, and his hands tightly grasped the inconspicuous piece of Zhu, as if he wanted to see every word on the piece clearly.
Suddenly, Qianlong waved his hand, and An Hong retreated very interestingly, only to see a man in black appear in front of Qianlong like a ghost.
I saw Qianlong whispering a few words in the ear of the man in black, and the man in black disappeared in an instant.
After a while, the man in black appeared in front of Qianlong again.
"What is she doing?" Qianlong asked.
She was looking out the window in a daze, muttering to herself......"
"Say what?" Suddenly, Qianlong clung to the clothes of the man in black as if he was crazy.
The man in black didn't react, and said like a piece of wood: "She said, it's been months, it's been months......"
"Hmph, that's true!"
"Someone! Tell me Concubine Wan! ”
Concubine Wan came to the Shang study, performed a blessing ceremony, and saw that Qianlong did not speak, so she habitually stood up.
Suddenly, Qianlong said sharply: "Who told you to stand up!" Do you still have me as an emperor in your eyes? ”
Concubine Wan was startled, and knelt down on her leg without obeying the call.
Obviously, Concubine Wan scared Qianlong, she is in a mess now, and she doesn't know what's going on.
"Wan'er! Come here! ”
Concubine Wan could only stand up and walk straight to Qianlong's side.
"Wan'er! When did you follow me? ”
"If you go back to the emperor, Qianlong will be fourteen years."
"It's been a while, too!" Qianlong didn't say anything. Concubine Wan didn't know what happened to Qianlong today, and seeing that Qianlong didn't speak, Concubine Wan could only stand behind Qianlong and say nothing.
Qianlong began to review the chapters again, and the recent affairs of the White Lotus Sect have made Qianlong anxious, and these people from the White Lotus Sect are specifically looking for those who are poor or have been harmed by the government, so the transactions of the White Lotus Sect have a fatal attraction to some people. And the government's response is bloody suppression, how many people can his government kill? And there are more people who have been bullied and oppressed by the government, and the government will never be able to kill them.
Therefore, the result of the suppression is that the power of the White Lotus Sect is getting bigger and bigger, and the government is the one who was killed and lost face.
Looking at these chaotic parties that could not be extinguished, the anger in Qianlong's heart became bigger and bigger.
Concubine Wan poured a cup of tea for Qianlong, thinking of Zhang Hanyue in her heart, she couldn't help but be upset, Concubine Wan was absent-minded at this time, and her soul didn't know where to fly. So the hand holding the teacup shook, and the hot tea fell on Qianlong's body in an instant.
Qianlong was startled, and the fire in his heart suddenly burned. I only heard him shout: "What crime should you be guilty of privately cooperating with the palace guards?" ”
Concubine Wan was so frightened that she knelt down and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there is no such thing, where does this start!" ”
"How dare you quibble? Qianlong obviously didn't want to hear what Concubine Wan said again, the **** came to your palace, you didn't match the preface and afterword, and there was a sound on your chuang, that day, you were on a rampage with the adulterer, and you happened to be bumped into by me, isn't it! Qianlong roared.
Concubine Wan was shocked and thought, "Huh? Could it be Han Yue, no, who knows about our affairs? Xiaoyun and I are best friends, she will definitely not betray me, who else? Is this a trap? Hanyue is bait? Could it be ......" The more Concubine Wan thought about it, the more upset she became.
Seeing that Concubine Wan didn't speak, Qianlong was even more angry in his heart, and his anger had rushed up uncontrollably, and now at this time, even the most gentlemanly person couldn't help but get angry.
Qianlong picked up the inkstone on the table and flew over, "Bang! The ground hit Concubine Wan's forehead and blood flowed down, Concubine Wan was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out, so she could only kneel on the ground, covering her wounds, Concubine Wan has been the treasure in the palm of the family since she was a child, and she was afraid of melting in her hands, and she was afraid of falling in her hands. When did you suffer like this?
