On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Jiaqing officially announced the 20 major crimes of the Lord, accusing the Lord of being arrogant and lawless, ignoring the king, embezzling and accepting bribes, and harming the country and enriching himself, and asked the governors of the provinces and the nine secretaries of the ministries to discuss the crimes against the Lord.

As soon as the edict was issued, the governors of all provinces and ministers of various ministries immediately responded, and the first to strike was Hu Jitang, the governor of Zhili.

Hu Jitang joined the government from Yin Sheng, and successively served as the prefect of Qingyang in Gansu, the envoy of Gansu according to the procuratorate, the political envoy of Jiangsu, the secretary of the criminal department, and the secretary of the military department. In the third year of Jiaqing (1798), he was awarded the title of Governor of Zhili, a high position of power and prestige, and even those recommended by him were very important. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, Hu Jitang took the lead in playing. He thinks that he has no eyes and is greedy and desecrated, and should be "executed by Ling Chi".

Hu Jitang's proposal made Jiaqing very satisfied, everything was as he expected, as long as he hooked the pen, he and the adult would immediately be in a different place. His hatred for adults is no longer a day or two, and the hatred that has been suppressed for many years can finally come out. This hatred even made him forget the pain of losing his father, and all he experienced was **.

Life and death, the power is in hand.

Therefore, he made a decree and asked officials above the third grade in Beijing to discuss Hu Jitang's proposal. This is actually a secret endorsement of Hu Jitang's proposal and agreed to put Lord He Ling Chi to death.

"Princess, something is wrong! The emperor wants to put the old man Ling Chi to death! On Hefu East Road, a servant hurriedly ran into the courtyard and reported to Gulun and Princess Xiao.

Since Lord He was imprisoned, not only was the mansion raided, but the housekeepers and concubines of the adults were also imprisoned one after another, and even the forehead Fengshen Yinde was also arrested and interrogated. The entire Hefu was like falling into hell, which made Gu Lun and Princess Xiao feel very terrified and desperate.

However, she has always understood the general situation and looked at the big picture. Since Lord He was imprisoned and the Hefu was copied, he has stayed in the mansion and has not left the Hefu for half a step, and everything is subject to the emperor's arrangement. He knows his father-in-law's crimes, as long as the emperor can open the net, she will definitely not interfere in his affairs.

"Ling Chi?" Princess Hexiao was taken aback when she heard the news.

"The lord is the princess's father-in-law and the emperor's in-laws! The governor of Zhili just proposed Ling Chi, and it seems that the emperor's intention is to agree! The family said.

"Someone! Prepare the car! "Now, Princess Hexiao can no longer sit idly by.

After a while, a car came to drive Hefu and headed straight for the Forbidden City.

In the study room of the Qianqing Palace in Zijin City, Jiaqing was holding the folds that demanded Ling Chi's execution and the adults, and looked at them carefully with satisfaction. The scholars and Jiuqing naturally didn't want to go against his will, and they wrote to put him to death with the adults Ling Chi, throw the corpses in the market, and punish Fu Chang'an with a summary execution.

Hehe, let's see who will save you this time!

While thinking about it, the eunuch came to report, and Gu Lun and Princess Xiao asked to see him.

"Let's just say that I'm busy with official business and don't have time, so you let her go back!" Jiaqing naturally knew the purpose of Princess Hexiao's trip, and closed the door at the moment.

The eunuch listened and hurriedly went out to reply. But it didn't take long for the little eunuch to run back again.

"Your Majesty, Princess Hexiao is kneeling at the door, saying that if you don't see him, he won't get up."

"That's it! That's it! Then bring her in! I knew I couldn't hide from it. ”

Princess Hexiao came to Jiaqing and knelt straight on the ground.

"Brother Huang is auspicious!" Princess Hexiao said.

"Hurry up!" Jiaqing's tone was very cold. "Efu Feng Shen Yinde has little to do with this case, I won't pursue it more, you don't have to worry about this."

"It seems that the royal brother already knows the purpose of his sister's trip. In that case, my sister won't go around the bend. My sister's trip is not for Edon, but for Heshen. Please also ask the royal brother to look at the emperor of Daxing, for the sake of his sister, and spare Heshen's life! Princess Hexiao knelt on the ground and said in a sincere tone. He knew that his husband would not die no matter what, and that he was the only one who really needed to be saved.

"Heshen's crimes are heinous, and the country and the people are harmful, if I don't get rid of them, how can I explain them to the subjects of the world?! What's more, the scholars, Jiuqing, and provincial governors all demanded that He Shen Lingchi be executed, what should you really do? ”

"Brother Huang! He's my sister's father-in-law! "Hearing the word 'Ling Chi', the princess's heart suddenly pinched. The scenes of playing with Shen when he was a child appeared in front of his eyes one after another, making him linger.

"Princess, I have always thought that you are a person who understands the general situation, how can you ignore the society for your own selfish feelings?"

"Jiangshan Sheji? How can Heshen's life be compared with Jiangshan Sheji? ”

"And Shen he is a high master! If I don't get rid of him, the people in this world will only know that there is Heshen in this world, how can they know that there is me? How can I reign in the world? What's more, his power has threatened our Qing Dynasty! He Shen's henchmen are all over the government and the opposition, as long as he raises his arms and shouts, I don't know how many people will respond. If he doesn't get rid of Heshen, if he really rebels, can you afford this responsibility? ”

Hearing this, Princess Hexiao was so shocked that she couldn't speak. After all, she is the descendant of Aixin Jueluo, so she will naturally do her best to maintain the society of the country.

"In that case, then ask the emperor to give him a whole corpse! Although he is guilty of heinous crimes, after all, he is an important minister of the first dynasty, and he has followed his father for so many years, and he has also treated his sister with all kinds of preferential treatment. My sister can't watch him being executed by Ling Chi and thrown on the street anyway! ”

"Stand down! I can't say yes! Jiaqing understands her feelings, but Princess Hexiao may not be considerate of him. After suffering humiliation for so many years, how can you give up so well?!

Where is the regation?!

"Brother Huang! Emperor! Princess Hexiao knelt on the ground and cried.

"Someone! Quickly help Princess Hexiao to retreat. Jiaqing hurriedly called the palace maid to help Princess Hexiao up and sent him back.

This year's Lantern Festival is extremely bleak for adults and Hehe. In previous years, the Lantern Festival and the house were full of people coming and going, and it was very lively, what a glory it was! But now the Lantern Festival, he is the only one who spends it alone in prison.

Listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, looking at the bright full moon in the sky. In addition to being sad with adults, he wrote two small poems.

"Two Songs to the Moon in the Night Prison of Shangyuan"

One of them:

The night is as bright as promised, and the sigh makes the sleepy not stretch.

A hundred years was a dream, and twenty years of labor were in vain.

The room is dark and difficult to see, and the wall is high and there is no spring.

The stars are surrounded by the cold moon, and the lonely ministers are crying.

For the scene to hurt the past, Huai Cai mistakenly died.

There is little material left, and there are nine heavy kernels.

Second:

What is the night tonight, the Lantern Festival is another spring.

Pity this moonlit night, it is extra sad.

Thinking and more eternal, grace with the festival of new together.

The holy light is faint and faint, and there are lonely ministers in the shackles.

Life is bleak, why is it more than this?! (To be continued.) )
