The 45th year of Qianlong was a very critical day.

Zhao Liang, who knew Heshen’s history of success, knew clearly what kind of major changes Heshen would undergo in this year.

This was the beginning of his transition from a conscientious and honest official to a corruption king with all kinds of corruption and bribery. The reason was that Li Shiyao, a favorite minister of Qianlong for decades, had failed.

In the first lunar month, before the Lantern Festival was released, the capital was heard and disappeared - the Minister of Military Affairs Heshen was gone.

Zhao Liang immediately understood that Li Shiyao, a corrupt official who started the "righteousness and courtesy of the Emperor and the Minister" of the Qianlong Dynasty, had already failed.

The reason is that Haining, the grain storage road in southern Yunnan, was promoted to the censor to return to Beijing from Yunnan. He did not dare to report the greed of Li Shiyao, but he did not dare to make any statement. He just "discussed privately" behind his back. Emperor Qianlong had some news and summoned Haining twice to ask about the inside story, but Haining always hid and did not dare to report Li Shiyao's crimes. Emperor Qianlong was furious and ordered the Military Affairs Office to issue a strict message. Only then did Haining report to Li's greed.

Emperor Qianlong ordered Heshen to join the Minister of Justice Kaninga to go to the Qing Dynasty in southern Yunnan for work.

And then issued another order, ordering people to conduct strict inspections of the stations along the way to prevent leaking of information.

Finally, he ordered Li Hu, the governor of southern Hunan, to go to Guizhou, and ordered him to send an officer to conduct a strict inspection. If there is a private riding from north to south, he would be the one who leaked the news and intercepted the origin of the matter, and the truth would be reported.

So Zhao Liangming knew where Heshen was going, and even knew when Heshen would pass by Yancheng, but this time he would never go to Heshen to reminisce about the past.

Listening to the howling wind and snow outside, I secretly gave Heshen a tearful heart. In this kind of ghost weather, it was too hard to travel thousands of miles to investigate the case.

But what Zhao Liang said he didn't know was that Heshen was in his heart with infinite passion at this moment, and he didn't feel it was hard at all.

Because the emperor was so angry that he intended to give Zarafeng the ten most favored princesses in the palace.

This matter was too great and had too much significance. But the matter had not been put into practice yet, and the emperor felt a little bit of a word. Even though Heshen was extremely upset in his heart, he could not tell others easily.

But since receiving this gesture from Qianlong, Heshen's body has been lighter, and he feels like he is floating in his heart.

Those are the ten princesses who are most favored by the emperor.

As a close minister of Qianlong and as the Minister of the Interior, Heshen knew very well that Qianlong loved the Tenth Princess? He even witnessed the Tenth Princess' favor more than once. Countless rare treasures were sent to his mother's palace, which were all trivial matters worth mentioning. What is important is that when Qianlong was angry, he would disappear when he saw him, the treasure princess.

For emperors and palaces? This is the real favor.

When the Tenth Princess was born, Qianlong was 65 years old. At this age, his daughter was born? Does this mean that Qianlong is not old yet? So the Tenth Princess's mother jumped and was named Concubine Dun.

What's even more rare is that this daughter looks like Qianlong, so she is even more loved by Qianlong. Although her appearance is really a bit aggrieved by Zarafeng.

But the benefits of a very favored princess are enough to erase all the negative effects.

There were even rumors in the capital that Qianlong once said to the tenth princess: "If you are the prince? I will make you the crown prince." The one who said this was a great figure in the Qing royal family.

That is quite credible.

His mother, Concubine Dun, relies on her daughter? In recent years, she gradually became frivolous. She was not as cautious as before. Instead, she often beat and scolded the palace maids and eunuchs for a small matter.

In the 43rd year of Qianlong's reign, Concubine Dun beat a palace maid to death.

This caused a big disaster.

The palace maid system in the Qing Palace was different from that in previous dynasties. Although these young palace maids who were selected into the palace were slaves? But what kind of wealth is behind them?

Just like the imperial concubine Wei Jia who died not long ago, the imperial concubine Gao Jia who was extremely favored by Huixian? and the imperial concubine Jin Jia, including the imperial concubine Yong Laosi's biological concubine De? The concubine Liang Concubine of the Eight Wise Kings, these people are all from palace maids and maids. But the families behind them are all officials.

Besides? A woman in the harem? No matter how much blood is stained on your hands, you must never beat someone to death.

Even if you annoy her, you can only send someone to the Shenzheng Department and beat him to death. Do you think the lord of your harem is the queen?

Moreover, Concubine Dun was also selected to enter the palace. Although his father was the governor, his family did not carry the flag, so that was also a coat.

Now he is actually blatantly beating the palace maid to death, and his behavior is extremely bad.

Emperor Qianlong was furious when he learned the news. According to his temper and the rules of the Qing palace, he had to deal with it severely, but because of the Tenth Princess, Qianlong showed mercy and only removed Concubine Dun from the throne of concubine, demoted to the throne of concubine, and soon he was restored to the throne of concubine.

A small three or four-year-old doll directly saved the future and face of her mother and the entire matriarchal family.

Heshen saw it with his own eyes.

What does such a person mean to be Heshen’s daughter-in-law?

Heshen is now full of excitement and happiness, and he is also full of joy. He said to others, but he can't say it.

Therefore, the wind and snow all over the sky cannot make him and Zhizhai cold.

Heshen was not worried about his trip to southern Yunnan.

Li Shiyao's car was overturned.

Haining explained too much.

He had so many handles and loopholes. When Li Shiyao found out that he and Kaninga arrived in southern Yunnan, he could not stop even if he wanted to block it, and he could not make up for it even if he wanted to make up for it.

Even though this person was a capable minister recognized by the court and the public, he was praised by Qianlong as the genius of the world when he succeeded to the throne.

But what happened? The money and grain of the prefectures in southern Yunnan have rotted to the core, how can he make up for it?

Who would have thought that the local officials would use their pockets of money to honor Li Shiyao?

The money and grain accounts in southern Yunnan are already terrible.

If you can't knock Li Shiyao's mouth open, are the other people's mouths the same hard?

That would still be a mountain of iron evidence that Li Shiyao proved.

To be honest, since the case has been stabbed in front of the emperor and since the emperor has made up his mind to investigate him, the corruption and bribery is a foregone conclusion, and no one can stop Li Shiyao from this knife.

Moreover, if Li Shiyao was smart, he would not have resisted the imperial envoy from above.

Because stubborn resistance is actually a choice to lose points for him.

It would be better to apologize to the emperor obediently, and he would not be able to save his life.

Well, Heshen made the decision in his heart.

Although Li Shiyao is a capable official in the world, it is not a matter of corruption or bribery for a day or two, and the emperor should have known this a long time ago. If he had to deal with him because of corruption or bribery, Li Shiyao's head would have moved long ago.

The reason why this time was so popular was more because Haining said that the words were too horrifying.

This Li Shiyao not only publicly blackmailed the subordinate officials, but also caused a huge loss of money and food in the states under his rule. He also did not let the inspectors go to such officials, and even the governor turned a blind eye. This was really scary.

It would be fine if those local officials from southern Yunnan Province were granted, Sun Shiyi, the governor of southern Yunnan Province, and Shu Chang, the governor of Qian Province, and Li Shiyao's crimes were finalized, they would not think well.

The reason is very simple. The state established a governor and governor. It was originally intended to coordinate with each other and to regulate the officials to maintain the administration, but they were good. They witnessed Li Shiyao's camp asking for bribes, and the stolen traces were full of stolen goods, and they turned a blind eye and kept hiding. What's the use of them?

Heshen now wanted to go to southern Yunnan in one step, and immediately handled Li Shiyao's case beautifully, so that he could add more glory to the emperor's heart and add another bargaining chip to his son.
