Daily life of Heshen's pet wife

He Shen only announced the results of the trial, but did not say how to deal with Li Shiyao.Of course he didn't say it on purpose, in order to let all the courtiers who heard this say it themselves at the court meeting.

He finished reading the scriptures, then apologized to Qianlong, and then became quiet. As soon as he got quiet here, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty immediately began to discuss after listening to the scriptures.

At the court meeting, all the ministers were standing across from each other, not very close to each other, but just now the two factions were already arguing endlessly, even if they stood a little farther away, it didn't make them any more peaceful.

The ministers below were a little restless, but after listening to what He Shen read, those who advocated strict investigation and punishment of Li Shiyao became even more excited and dissatisfied.On the other hand, those who felt that Li Shiyao could not be severely punished to chill the hearts of veteran ministers and veterans felt a little guilty when they heard so much convincing evidence that even Li Shiyao himself admitted it.

But in order not to lose their momentum, they still tried to resist the pressure from the opposite side.

Li Shiyao's case is well-documented, and there are all certified physical evidence, and Li Shiyao himself admitted all the cases, and announced them at the Great Court Conference. The law, Li Shiyao should be executed.

In fact, He Shen had the same thought in his heart during the trial of the case. Corrupt officials like Li Shiyao who have convincing evidence that has a bad influence and have almost harmed Yunnan and Guizhou all over the place should be executed as an example to others.

The voice of defending Li Shiyao gradually became weaker, and the voices of petitioning to second Qianlong's decree to kill Li Shiyao formed a wave of voices.

Looking at the courtiers kneeling in the dark and wanting him to kill Li Shiyao, Qianlong felt really uncomfortable.

How could he have never imagined how things would come to this point?

Qianlong took a deep look at He Shen who was standing below. He Shen stood there with slightly lowered eyes. Qianlong couldn't see He Shen's expression, let alone He Shen's eyes. Qianlong had doubts about He Shen in his heart. But after thinking about it before, there is no problem at all with He Shen.

In the end, Qianlong could only sigh, thinking that these were all coincidences.

The crowd was excited, but the emperor sitting above did not respond for a long time, and all the ministers also fell silent, their attitude had already been expressed.To kill Li Shiyao, but in the end how the emperor decides depends on the attitude of the emperor.

Everyone believed that under the current situation, Li Shiyao was bound to die.

But who knew that Qianlong's first sentence was to ask Heshen: "You are the presiding judge of Li Shiyao's case, do you think Li Shiyao should be executed as they said?"

After all, Qianlong still refused to give up, and he must express his opinion.

He Shen has great prestige in the court and is the presiding judge of Li Shiyao's case. A word from him will obviously be very effective.

Don't say that Qianlong was staring at him, it was those who stood in line and didn't stand in line. When Qianlong's words fell, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty turned their eyes to him.

He Shen didn't fall for Qianlong's tricks, and under the eyes of many eyes, he knelt down neatly, facing the stone slab on the ground, but replied in a voice that everyone could hear: "The slaves all obey the orders of the Lord Long Live."

With just this sentence, Qianlong was so angry that he almost didn't scold him.

He knew it, he knew He Shen still had a problem!

Lo and behold, the test still worked out.

But under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qianlong couldn't say anything, and He Shen's behavior and words did not exceed the rules.

Qianlong sneered, and didn't call He Shen to get up. He only looked around at the ministers and said lightly: "It's cold today. I heard that Li Shiyao's old illness from freezing in prison has relapsed. At least he also served for the Qing Dynasty." Don’t be too mean to a powerful person. Let’s talk about him later.”

What Qianlong meant was that it was getting cold and he couldn't bear to let Li Shiyao die right now.Under the imperial decree, the prisoner was beheaded.

Li Shiyao's case will have to wait until the weather warms up.

Speaking of which, the difference between cutting the supervisor and cutting the decision is too big.Although they are all executed, they can be dealt with immediately.However, it will take some time to wait for the prisoner to be killed. How long this period will be is actually very flexible, and there is no specific regulation.

Generally, the prisoners waiting to be executed will basically be able to escape their crimes in the end, and most of them will not be executed again.Qianlong ordered Li Shiyao to behead the prison guard, just because he didn't want to kill him.There was more than half a year in between, just waiting to think about the matter and then forgive Li Shiyao.

This time, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew that Qianlong wanted to protect Li Shiyao.

The people from Qinggui Mingliang's family who had been suppressed before knew Qianlong's true intentions, and they were not as guilty as before. Before the people here could react, they quickly knelt down and accepted the order to thank Qianlong up.

The emperor said that there is no reason to take it back.What's more, it's the will.

But why are these people willing to give up?Naturally, Qianlong was asked to take back his order, and desperately explained Li Shiyao's demands that he must be decisive, and asked Qianlong to act in accordance with the laws of the Qing Dynasty.

Qianlong didn't listen to them at all, he didn't even look at He Shen who was kneeling there, and just shook his sleeves and left.

Qianlong was gone, Qinggui Mingliang and his family got their wish, and they naturally left contentedly.

He Shen got up slowly, turned around and saw that there were still many people standing behind him.Basically, they were the ministers who wanted Qianlong to order Li Shiyao to be executed.

For these things in front of them, many deployment plans were secretly ordered by He Shen and Fu Chang'an to do it quietly.

To compete with Qing Guimingliang's line, and to unite so many people, to attack at the most appropriate time, some assistance is bound to be needed.

Although He Shen didn't express his position on the surface, everyone already understood in their hearts that he read out the excerpts at the Dachao meeting in order to give the ministers a reason to "force" Qianlong to execute Li Shiyao.

Even if he failed to force Qianlong to order Li Shiyao to be executed, he still forced out Qianlong's true intentions.

In this way, both sides acted on the bright side, and they naturally had an advantage in the situation when they already had the opportunity.

Even if Li Shiyao couldn't be dealt with, in the long run, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty saw Qianlong's obvious partiality and connivance.

He Shen nodded at the ministers, there was no verbal communication, but only eye contact was enough.

After He Shen left, the ministers who were still filled with righteous indignation did not leave the palace, but went directly to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.They refused to accept Qianlong's imperial decree, and wanted to see the emperor, hoping that Qianlong would withdraw his order and execute Li Shiyao according to the law.

He Shen is still the presiding judge of this case, and Qianlong has decreed that Li Shiyao should be executed in a final decision, but the next work of the presiding judge of his case has not been completed yet.Now that the thoughts of all parties have been exposed, and He Shen will no longer be blamed, he will naturally finish his errands.

He Shen returned to the Ministry of Punishment, discussed with his subordinates and the Ministry, and discussed the case with the academician Jiuqing in the name of the Military Aircraft Department according to the rules. All the ministers agreed with Li Shiyao's decision.The results of the handling of the case were written by He Shen as a notebook, and soon sent to Qianlong.

Qianlong knew that someone would definitely come to him to make trouble, but when he saw the notes written by He Shen, Qianlong was still furious.

Qianlong, the minister kneeling outside, didn't see any of them. He knew what they were going to say, and he really didn't want to see them, nor did he want to see them.Qianlong's mind on Li Shiyao's matter has been determined and will never change.But now, after reading He Shen's excerpts, Qianlong felt that anger was burning in his heart. He had been holding his breath for a whole day, and he really couldn't get out.

Regardless of having someone call He Shen, Qianlong went directly to the courtyard of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The ministers kneeling outside thought that Qianlong was willing to see them, and each of them was about to say something, but before they could speak, Qianlong It's just a scolding meal.

Qianlong was stunned by the scolding, and tired of scolding, Qianlong didn't want to hear what these people had to say, so he asked the guards to drive them away, and no one was allowed to come and kneel in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

For Li Shiyao's case, the imperial decree has been issued, and the beheading of the prisoner is the beheading of the prisoner, without any change.When He Shen's paper was handed over, Qianlong directly rejected it, not at all.

Even He Shen, the presiding judge, Qianlong also took him down, and He Shen was not allowed to continue to follow up.

But this case, which seems to have been settled with no room for change, caused a great shock in the ruling and opposition parties.

Many people did not expect that Qianlong would protect the corrupt Li Shiyao in this way. In the next two months, after Li Shiyao paid a large sum of money, he was able to get out of prison and recuperate in the Li family's mansion in Beijing.

Li Shiyao never went out and was very low-key. No one in the area where he lived made troubles, but the storm centered on his case intensified and showed no sign of stopping.

The indignation swept through all the people in the ruling and opposition parties who were not used to this kind of corruption, let alone Qinggui Mingliang. After Li Shiyao came out, the pressure from the outside world even Qianlong couldn't stand it.

The case of Li Shiyao is an exception, but it will never be the only one.Before and after this, there were people who committed crimes but were unwilling to go to prison. They were exonerated after paying some money, and they were not even punished, and continued to serve as their officials.

Dissatisfaction with Li Shiyao's case made everyone point their fingers at Qing Gui and Ming Liang.Without them, Li Shiyao's case would not have been finalized like this without any room for change.

Qianlong was greedy for pleasure, but the officials still had some illusions about Qianlong, thinking that it was Qinggui and Mingliang who deliberately curry favor with Qianlong, which made Qianlong become like this. If Qinggui and Mingliang were dealt with, they would no longer stare at the emperor When such a person appears, the situation can be gradually changed in the future.

The emperor does have the ability to do whatever he wants, and he can do whatever he wants, but the emperor has to care about the world's mouth and the people's tongue.Unless it is a faint king who really doesn't care about the people, then he will naturally do whatever he wants, even if the country is subjugated, he will not change himself.

But Qianlong was different.The prosperous world in front of him is the result of decades of hard work and hard work. He worked so hard when he was young and mature, but when he sees such a prosperous world when he is old, he just wants to enjoy the hard-won fruits of victory, enjoy himself and be happy. , This is also the unavoidable mentality of an old man.

But Qianlong still cared about his reputation.He wanted to have fun, but he didn't want to ruin the reputation he had managed for half his life.He has always felt that his health is not bad, and it will not be a problem to work for another 20 years. If his reputation is ruined and he is called a faint king, won't his hard work in this life be in vain?

Qianlong didn't want to lose his fortune at the end of the festival, he also wanted to be comparable to Huang Mafa.Even if he can't compare to Huang Mafa, he doesn't want to be too bad.

The situation in front of him really made Qianlong a little uneasy. He struggled for a whole month under the New Year's Day. After the first lunar month, the Yamen opened the seal. After all, Qianlong made a choice in front of the ministers and made his compromise and concession.

Qianlong transferred Qing Guimingliang away from the Military Aircraft Department and sent the two of them out to fight. The battle in that area was stalemate. It will be difficult for these two people to come back after a year or so.

Qianlong also took care of Qinggui Mingliang's family members, and Qianlong also dismissed both of them as chief ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

At the same time, Qianlong promoted Heshen as minister of military aircraft, minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and in charge of the affairs of the officers and soldiers of the three banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It was the first time in three years that Qinggui Mingliang's job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs fell on He Shen.

In fact, speaking of it, this is indeed what Qianlong couldn't think of.During Qinggui Mingliang's control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although he collected a lot of money for Qianlong, at the same time, the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which were originally very clear, began to be in chaos. Clear.

Others couldn't take over, and Qianlong was unwilling to hand it over to others. He felt that such a thing was not good enough to let others know. The government's accounts are reorganized.

As for He Shen's stingy temperament, Qianlong had no choice but to hold his nose and admit it in front of the messy accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

According to the rules, three years had passed for Yinglian to keep Dingyou's system. Qianlong promoted Yinglian to be the co-organizer of the University, and gave him a lot of errands.

These measures are already a signal in the eyes of the ministers.

The ministers who had not been dealt with and were not affected by this turmoil saw that Qing Guimingliang had lost power and was transferred from the Military Aircraft Department. Naturally, some speculators wanted to go their way, thinking of currying favor with Qianlong, even if they couldn't do it. Like Qing Guimingliang, at least he can seek some benefits for himself.

After hearing these two imperial edicts, they all felt a little bit in their hearts.

He Shen became the Minister of Military Aircraft, and was in charge of so many errands. He had many more errands than the people in the Military Aircraft Department. At a young age, he was already honored as He Zhongtang inside and outside the Military Aircraft Department.

This Lord Zhongtang has been against the emperor for the past few years, how can he still be trusted by the emperor?

Even Qinggui Mingliang asked him to be pushed out of the military plane, so in the future, in front of He Zhongtang, wouldn't he be a man with his tail between his legs?
