Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Chapter 3365 Chapter 3367 [Lang Hua passed away]

 In the next few months, Xiang Nan did continue to kill people.

Corrupt officials must be killed, gangsters who bully men and women must be killed, witches who pretend to be gods and ghosts must be killed, kidnappers who cheat and deceive people must be killed, cults that demagogue people must be killed, bandits who rob and kill people must be killed...

From the capital to the lower provincial capitals and counties, there was a public execution almost every few days, and they were beheaded directly without waiting for the autumn showdown.

　　He was chopped into pieces with heads rolling, blood flowing like rivers, and murderous intent rising to the sky. It scared the seven elder brothers, hundreds of officials in the court, celebrities and gentry, wealthy businessmen and landlords, and even the gangsters on the street.

 The seven brothers now understand. Xiang Nan asked the seven of them to serve in various ministries. It seemed that he was giving them a chance to compete for reserves, but in fact he was putting them on the grill.

 After all, Xiang Nan is not Emperor Kangxi. The main reason why Kangxi's nine sons seized the throne in his later years was mainly because he was too generous and kind in the later period of his rule. Not to mention how loving he was to his own sons, he often showed some mercy to officials who were corrupt and bribed.

 As a result, in the last years of Kangxi, corruption was rampant and the national treasury was empty. When Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, the national treasury only had eight million taels of silver. And because Emperor Kangxi was tolerant and unwilling to bear heavy responsibilities, the nine sons fought endlessly.

Compared to Emperor Kangxi, Xiang Nan was much more ruthless.

 According to his own words, since he took the throne, he has spent half of his time fighting. Destroy Jungar, pacify the Jinchuan and Da Jinchuan, conquer Annan, capture Luzon, set out to conquer Rakshasa, and annex Europe, Tianfang, and Tianzhu...

 The divine power of martial arts is unique compared to that of emperors in all dynasties.

Moreover, Xiang Nan was extremely smart. Steel factories, glass factories, firearms factories, railways, trains, steamships... were all invented by him.

Moreover, he is very good at managing money. Since he took over, the national treasury has been in balance every year, and now the silver reserves have reached a huge amount of two billion taels of silver. I dare not say that it is unprecedented, at least it is unprecedented.

Therefore, when working in front of such a smart and ruthless Amma, they can't even sleep flat. They must work hard and be cautious. They must pay attention to every move and cannot be singled out by Emperor Amma. .

It can be said that it is much worse than being a rich prince.

Moreover, if anyone dares to think wildly and is really found out by Xiang Nan, it will be a disaster.

 At that time, not only will there be no hope of competing for the throne, but he will also be imprisoned in the clan's mansion and will not be able to get out for the rest of his life. Therefore, they are walking on thin ice, fearing that they will make a mistake.

Hundred officials saw that Xiang Nan was reorganizing the government, and they really dared to kill people. Seeing so many heads rolling around, they were so frightened that they did not dare to be careless and make mistakes, for fear that they would also become the victims of the sword.

 Therefore, for a time, the administration of the imperial court was completely new.

 …

 In the 32nd year of Qianlong's reign, Lang Hua passed away with regret.

 Her physical condition was not very good to begin with, and coupled with her advanced age, she was nearly sixty years old. What's more, in the claustrophobic palace, my heart is constantly depressed, which leads to my body getting worse day by day.

 Finally, after more than half a year, Langya could no longer hold on.

Knowing that she was not going to die soon, Xiang Nan thought of the relationship between husband and wife for many years, so he came to Changchun Palace to visit her.

They saw that she had already put on the queen's clothes and was even dressed up. She still looked a bit glorious, but her eyes were dull, which showed that she was not long gone.

 “I’m here to see you, Your Majesty!” Seeing Xiang Nan, Lang Hua struggled to get up. Xiang Nan quickly stepped forward and supported her, "Okay, don't keep kneeling here and there. You know I don't like this the most."

"Yes, the emperor has always been kind and generous, but I have failed to live up to the emperor's kindness." Lang Hua lowered her head and admitted her mistake.

Having been married for so many years, Xiang Nan's performance is quite good. He treats all the concubines like a bowl of water, is kind to all the concubines, talks and laughs, and does not put on the airs of the emperor.

 Just to help Yong Huang seize the throne, when she found out that Xiang Nan was killed by her son, not only did she not grieve or avenge him, she even joined forces with Yong Huang to usurp the throne. She was really sorry for Xiang Nan's decades of friendship.

"Don't say that. You are Yonghuang's biological mother, and I was already dead at the time. It's not wrong for you to consider him." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "It's just that as the emperor, I have to deal with this matter this way. , just don’t blame me.”

"It's all my fault. How dare I blame the emperor again." Lang Hua said with tears, "It's because I didn't teach my son well and didn't discipline Yong Huang well, so that he is today. I really regret it."

"It's also my fault. I shouldn't have given him unrealistic fantasies." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

He never thought of making Yong Huang the crown prince, but he made him serve as the supervisor of the country for nearly ten years, which was equivalent to the emperor.

This inadvertently fueled Yong Huang's ambition, so much so that he decided to take the risk only when he felt that he was about to be dealt with by Huang Ama. In the final analysis, he has his own responsibility, as well as Xiang Nan and Lang Hua's responsibility.

“Your Majesty, before I die, I want to make one last request to you.” Lang Hua said.

 “Just say it.” Xiang Nan nodded.

"I hope that the emperor can release Yong Huang from the clan mansion. Although he has committed a heinous crime, he is my and your first child after all. You and I have watched him grow up." Lang Hua said, "I hope that out of the love between father and son, you will release him. In this way, I can die in peace."

"Well, since this is your last wish, I will satisfy you." Xiang Nan nodded and then said to Li Yu, "Go to the clan's mansion quickly and pick up the eldest brother. Restore his jade certificate and clan membership. , demoted from Prince Ding to Beizi."

 “Hey.” Li Yu said immediately.

"I thank you, Your Majesty!" Lang Hua wanted to bow down again.

"Okay, don't move." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "You are right. Yonghuang is also my son after all. In fact, it makes me sad to see him imprisoned."

"Yes, your Majesty has a kind heart and brings blessings to the world. He loves and protects his subjects, not to mention his own children." Lang Hua nodded.

"Okay, Lang Hua, you have a good rest, I'm going out first." Xiang Nan said again, "Yong Cong, Yong Lian, Jing Se, come in and talk to your mother."

Jingse was born in the twelfth year of Yongzheng's reign, and in the seventeenth year of Qianlong's reign, she was betrothed to Tuduo, the son of Ma Lishan, a first-class loyal and brave male, as his wife. Ma Lishan's grandfather, Tu Hai, held the highest position of Crown Prince Taifu, Grand Scholar of Zhonghe Palace, and Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Father Nuomin once served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Guards, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. The eldest brother Marsai once served as the Minister of Internal Affairs, in charge of the Luan Yi Guards, and was awarded the title of Bachelor of Wuyingdian, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and General of Fuyuan.

 It was just that in the ninth year of Yongzheng's reign, he was deprived of his title and sentenced to death because of his unfavorable battle with Jungar. After his death, his younger brother Ma Lishan ascended the throne. All in all, this family can be considered a first-class family after loyal ministers.

Xiang Nan did not let any of his daughters be sent to various tribes in Mongolia for marriage. Instead, they were all betrothed to the princes and nobles in the capital. Because he was reluctant to let his daughter go to the grassland to endure hardships. After all, the climate and food in the grassland are not good, how can they compare with the prosperity of the capital city.

He is not afraid of the Mongolian princes picking problems. After all, Zungel will be beaten as soon as he says. What kind of trouble can these Mongolian princes make?
