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 was highly skilled in martial arts, Du Xiaoyue and Fukangan were equally good. Coupled with the officers and soldiers swarming up, she was finally captured.
"Fukangan, what is your relationship with this assassin?" Qianlong scolded angrily.
The woman next to him actually wanted to assassinate the king, was it because of his instruction?! He was not trying to rebel, so what else was he trying to do?!
"Your Majesty, calm down! The fourth girl belongs to the Fourteenth Prince, and I don't know that she is a rebel." Fukangan kowtowed quickly and explained.
No matter how much he likes the fourth girl, he doesn't dare to hide it for her at this moment. Otherwise, the entire Fu family may be ruined.
"Uncle Fourteenth?!" 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 case of the Fourteenth Prince's rebellion, but you actually kept the traitor by your side?" He pointed at Fukang'an and cursed, "You are really disappointed in my expectations, deeply disappointed in my expectations!"
"
"This slave's crime deserves ten thousand deaths, 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 someone to pretend to be the Heaven and Earth Society and kidnap him for rebellion. In the end, in order to keep the four girls, he released the Fourteenth Prince.
Only now did he know that the fourteenth prince really wanted to usurp the throne, and the fourth girl actually dared to assassinate the king. In this way, he had set a big trap.
"Huh!" Qianlong was still angry and turned around and walked back to the back office.
Xiang Nan immediately waved his hand, Heshen, Fukangan, and the four girls 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.
"Shh!" 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 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 wishes. It doesn't count if I say it myself." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
He guessed that nothing serious would happen to Heshen and Fukangan.
First of all, although He Shen is greedy, he is capable. As an important military minister, he handles many national affairs. Without him, it will be difficult for the military and aircraft department to operate.
Secondly, although Heshen is greedy, he is loyal. He is 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 was greedy, it would not be considered a crime by the emperor. In fact, Qianlong knew that he was a corrupt official, so he was willing to protect him and pardon him.
As for Fukang'an, his relationship with the emperor is even more unusual. Although his involvement with the fourth girl made the emperor feel a little chilled for a while. But after the passage of time, 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 confiscated. 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 and in chaos.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan was not stupid and contacted Huang Keming in time. He had a high prestige among the people in the disaster area. With the help of their group, the disaster relief work finally started.
When people in the disaster area saw the food, they shouted long live 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 loans] to improve people's production and life.
"Your Majesty, the people of Yancheng have been in poverty for a long time. Ten houses and nine empty houses are empty. The people are in dire straits. Disaster relief can only relieve temporary suffering." He explained, "I suggest that taxes be exempted for at least three years, and the government provides grain planting and small loans.
, so that the 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 won the emperor's love.
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 didn't expect Xiang Nan to handle the case so quickly, and Qianlong to be so cruel. Without any precautions, he was naturally captured very quickly.
"Uncle Fourteenth Emperor, I have treated you well. After ascending the throne, I will lift you from confinement and make you the Prince of Duoluoxun County and 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 Prince of Duoluoxun County and a Commander-in-Chief of the Han Army of Zhenghuang Banner be able to compensate for my losses? Can they make me grateful to you?
Your biological mother hated Yongzheng and the Qing Dynasty, so 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.
Qianlong let out a long sigh when he heard what he said.
The most ruthless emperor's family! Once the throne is involved, all family ties, blood connections, and filial piety are gone!
"Uncle Fourteenth Emperor, when things come to a close, you still don't repent. 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 the house."
