Niu Gulu didn't want to agree to Qianlong's ruthless, cruel and unreasonable demands at all, but she had no other choice, and she couldn't resist.

For one thing, Qianlong did not clearly express that he wanted to make Lin Lin the new king, everything was just speculation, and it seemed inappropriate for her to go on a hunger strike to protest as soon as she came up.

Secondly, this is not a fake son, the key is also the emperor. The empress dowager herself is not afraid of Qianlong's black hands on her, but she also has a family. Although her family is also surnamed Niu Colu, it is not prosperous. If you want to use it to vent your anger, it is still very easy.

The empress dowager sometimes even thought of the technique of witchcraft, and later saw that Qianlong was doing everything normally, as if he had been bewitched, so she let go of the doubts in her heart.

Lin Lin was transferred from the Xiaoqi battalion, and became the head of the military department, partnering with Wang Ziteng.

Wang Ziteng can only smile bitterly when he thinks about it now. He really feels bad for his exiled relatives. At the beginning, whether it was Mrs. Wang or Jia Mu, they just felt that they had bullied three fatherless orphans. He is still an illegitimate child whose biological father is unknown, if he is bullied, he will be bullied, and the other party has no ability to bite back.

As a result, it has only been a few years. Lin Lu married the most beloved young daughter of an important minister of the Military Aircraft Department. Lin Daiyu married the eldest son of Duke Zhongyong's mansion. The illegitimate son who was despised by them at the beginning was even more amazing. She became the emperor's favorite. His son is about to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation and the Hall of Qianqing.

It's really not easy for people to be so unlucky. There were so many people in the Qing Dynasty who bullied you, why did you choose this one?Wang Ziteng and Lin Lin have been working together all morning, and they have not figured out this problem.

Lin Lin did not show any hostility towards him. Wang Ziteng calmed down and observed carefully, and found that at least on the surface, he was not surprised by the big pie that fell from the sky.

Lin Lin still had a dark coffin face, and no one was willing to talk to her. She was immersed in her official duties, and whenever she felt inappropriate, she called the responsible officials over to scold her. The meaning of playing prestige is very good.

In all fairness, apart from other things, the eighth elder brother Yonglin is indeed a very suitable candidate for the reserve position, and Wang Ziteng's evaluation of him is not low.

Lin Lin killed the fifth elder brother who was the most competitive with one blow, hugged Qianlong's thigh tightly, and walked all the way to today without arrogance or impetuosity. After the failure, the end was dismal.

Wang Ziteng really wanted to watch the fun. He didn't care much about the affairs of the Manchu and Han concubines. There were already enough people who went to the guns with arrogance. One more than him was not too many, and one less than him was quite a lot. Wang Ziteng felt that he There is no need to rush to make yourself uncomfortable.

Helpless, he is an important minister, one of the most famous figures among the Hanchens, and every day Hanchens come to him to make side attacks, or beg to form a team together to defeat the emperor.

Wang Ziteng really wanted to refuse. Really smart people shouldn't get involved in this kind of thing, even if the clan's waist can stand straight, full people should be careful when getting involved, let alone a few Hanchens.

After all, he was different from Liu Yong. Wang Ziteng had to say that he admired Liu Yong for daring to make trouble with his life, but he didn't dare, because Qianlong really dared to kill him, without ambiguity at all.

Liu Yong threatened to remonstrate to death, if it wasn't for the desperate efforts of a few elders in the same industry, he would have almost bumped his head to death on the stone steps of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Qianlong sat inside and reviewed the memorial without even looking at it from beginning to end.

He was only in the mood to poke his neck to see how the situation was when several imperial doctors in the imperial hospital tried their best to rescue him.

Qianlong put on a show and said: "The Qing family takes good care of themselves, there is no need to go to war for trivial things, Yong Rong is also my son anyway, and I won't treat him badly."

It is impossible to argue with him now that Lin Lin cannot be crown prince, because Qianlong did not make such an order, although as long as he is not blind, he can see that everything he does is paving the way for his eighth son.

It is a felony to discuss the crown prince in private, and a group of people can only persuade him in a roundabout way, Long live, the sixth elder brother is good, the sixth elder brother is wonderful, you can't adopt the sixth elder brother.

Qianlong heard a lot of similar words in the past few days, and he was very impatient. He saw a group of old officials bitterly opening their mouths to look at him, frowned and said: "Liu Aiqing is so seriously injured, you should go home quickly to recuperate. I promise you three months to rest." It’s a month’s vacation, so I’d better take care of my body.”

Hurry up and go home, and after three months, you won't have to be an eyesore anymore.Everyone could hear the voice of Qianlong's words. For a while, no one dared to answer the words. No one knew why the emperor was so determined, and there was no room for maneuver.

Qianlong's gaze was extremely cold, and he slowly scanned the faces of all the people present one by one, without saying a word, he flicked his sleeves and went in.

Fu Heng, who happened to come to report the matter to the emperor, walked up to him and saw clearly the chaotic situation at the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He was neither advancing nor retreating. He was about to turn around and leave when he was stopped by the sharp-eyed Wu Shulai: "Master Fucha, The emperor is waiting for you."

This voice is really enough to attract hatred. A dozen Hanchens looked over like knives. Fu Heng saw that there was no way to slip away, so he could only bite the bullet and nodded calmly: "Thank you, Eunuch Wu. , I'll go in right now."

After Wu Shulai went in to report, he really announced his audience. When Fu Heng walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he still remembered looking sideways at Liu Yong, who was bleeding from a bloody hole on his forehead, and said with a frown, "What are you colleagues doing? , quickly send Master Liu out of the palace, and go home to recuperate."

Seeing blood at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation is a taboo, Fu Heng respects Liu Yong as a human being after all, and advised him to avoid it as soon as possible, so as not to give the emperor an excuse to punish him urgently.

After entering, he saw Qianlong looking at him with a very mysterious gaze. Fu Heng was a little scalp numb, and knelt down on the ground in a very lonely way: "Damn this slave, please be punished by the emperor."

As for why you should be damned, both of them knew well that Qianlong intended to punish Liu Yong, and you, as his brother-in-law, even tipped off the news, you really should consciously plead guilty.

Seeing that Fu Heng was so knowledgeable and interesting, Qianlong didn't want to settle accounts with him for a while. If he was angry, he could keep it to the ministers who came to bump into their guns. It was rare for Fu Heng to meet a minister who didn't blah I don't feel the need to push my allies further and further away.

Fu Heng reported some things to the emperor, and briefly mentioned that the local officials of Tizhou County went to the provincial capital for no reason.

He really knew this matter clearly, Qianlong smiled, and threw down the two memorials on the table: "Look, this is the punishment plan I entrusted to Yongrong and Ziyu in private."

Fu Heng was shocked, knowing that the main event was coming. This was the real reason why the emperor was tactfully telling him that he chose the eighth elder brother instead of the sixth elder brother.

What he likes and loves is secondary. As an emperor, the weight of Jiangshan Sheji can instantly kill any other feelings. If Lin Lin really has the ability, Qianlong will not rest assured to push him to the throne no matter how much he likes him.

Wu Shulai took down the two memorials and presented them to Fu Heng with both hands.Fu Heng took it over and glanced at it hastily.Of course he didn't dare to look closely, the emperor sat on it and waited.

After roughly understanding the meaning of the above, Fu Heng pondered for a while, and respectfully said: "Report to the emperor, the slaves are watching, the eighth elder brother is strict, and the sixth...Prince Guo is lenient."

Yongrong was adopted under the name of Qianlong's younger brother, Prince Guo Hongzhan. Although Prince Guo had his own son, he committed a crime just a few years ago, and was supposed to dismiss him. Qianlong was struggling with no place to house Yongrong. and sent him away.

Qianlong sat on the dragon chair and played with the inkstone on his table, nodded with a deep face, and said in a deep voice: "The person I admire most is Huangmafa, and the old way of Huangmafa is more than easy to carry out reforms. , but after all, he is not as famous among the ministers as the former Emperor Kao."

In Kangxi's later years, there were a lot of evils, which had reached the point of disturbing the court and harming the country, but at that time, Kangxi had no energy to punish all these, so he could only turn a blind eye and close one eye to fool the past.

Qianlong was very confident that he would not follow in the footsteps of Kangxi. He thought he had the ability to control the greedy ministers below him, but now that he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Yongzheng was famous for ransacking his family back then, the treasury was abundant, and there was never a shortage of money.When Qianlong came here, he went to the south of the Yangtze River three times and it was almost corrupted. He tried to copy the four major families, but he didn't fill such a big hole.

Kangxi finally chose Yongzheng as his successor, not only because of his personal preference, but also because his shortcomings were too serious in the later period of his administration, and he needed a person who dared to bear the infamy to carry out drastic reforms.

"The emperor's mother once told me that Ziyu's temperament is cold and straightforward, similar to Huang Kao." Qianlong gently turned over a page in his hand, and the sound of the page's deflection was slightly harsh, "I know I can't do it." On a par with Huang Mafa, we can only hope that Ziyu can stand shoulder to shoulder with Huang Kao."

Qianlong has always been proud of being raised by Kangxi's side, and he would show it off from time to time. He especially liked others to praise that he was on par with Kangxi. Compared with him, he ignored his own father, which was a bit embarrassing. on the meaning.

When Yongzheng was in power, many ministers condemned him to return the fire to the public. In the blink of an eye, during the Qianlong period, he directly abolished the reforms that his father had worked so hard to implement. I don’t know how many officials were cheaper.

From this, it can be seen that Qianlong's and Yongzheng's ruling ideas are quite different, and there are not many opportunities to hear good things about his father from his son's mouth.

Fu Heng couldn't help slandering, never seen you always praise the late emperor like this before, don't just push Lin Lin to the top, you're just trying to find an excuse by rote?

But he didn't have time to think too much. This was the first time he heard from Qianlong that his preferred heir was Lin Lin. Fu Heng hurriedly put on a frightened expression and fell to the ground.

Qianlong pretended to sigh: "Only sigh the civil and military affairs of the court, only a few people can understand my good intentions." After finishing speaking, he looked at Fu Heng with expectant eyes.

Not seeing his brother-in-law's squinting eyes, Qianlong realized that he was already on his knees, unable to make eye contact with him.

He was a little bit embarrassed to wink at the blind man, coughed, and simply said clearly: "Zhen will abdicate within this year."

When the landmine fell, Fu Heng was almost choked to death by his own saliva. Everyone thought that Qianlong could still be the emperor for more than ten or twenty years.

Qianlong also had hardships that he couldn't tell. Huang Taiji and Yongzheng died suddenly, so they didn't care about it. They could live a few more years in the Old Summer Palace.

Moreover, no matter how sophistrying, Lin Lin did not come from the right path. When she first succeeded to the throne, it was inevitable that people's hearts would fluctuate. It would take a few turmoil to formally calm down. with this matter.

"Back when the Taizu abolished the crown prince and ordered the officials to choose the prince they liked, I think this is a good idea." Qianlong said a word, not minding Fu Heng's trembling all of a sudden, and continued on his own, "Ai Qing thinks Woolen cloth?"

I think so, are you out of your mind?Fu Heng had a hard time convincing himself that a man who had been an emperor for decades could be so shameless. He was clearly using him as a weapon, and wanted him to contact some ministers to stand on Lin Lin's side.

Fu Heng left full of resentment, and Qianlong silently smirked three times at his back.
