I am the Queen

Finally when the day of the southern tour came, Yong Qi rode a horse and pretended to pass by Xiao Jian casually, and whispered, "Everything is going according to plan."

Yes, Yongqi added Xiao Jian, Fu Erkang, and Fu Ertai to the southern tour team. Anyway, there are a lot of guards on the southern tour, and no one will pay special attention to who is more. As for the Fu Erkang brothers, they He was originally an official of the imperial court, so it was normal to go on a southern tour.

Yongqi rode to Xiaoyanzi's carriage again, "Little Yanzi, don't worry, we have placed the child with Ziwei, and Ziwei will take good care of him." Yongqi took Xiaoyanzi with her on this southern tour. Take Mian Lun with her, but Mian Lun is still too young, and Little Yanzi is worried that he is alone in the Rongbeile Mansion. After much deliberation, I decided to bring her to Ziwei. After all, Ziwei is also Mian Lun's aunt, and Dong'er is with her. playing.

"Yongqi, be careful." Little Yanzi knew that everything might have changed after the southern tour.

"Huang Ama, Huang Erniang, everything is fine." Yongji bid farewell to Qianlong and Lingxin, and started to handle the court affairs independently. Of course, he still had to ask Qianlong for instructions on major matters, but Yongji also felt the pressure, especially Lingxin. Xin quietly revealed to Yongji that if he did well this time, Qianlong would go back and make him the crown prince in advance.

"Yongji, I will leave the affairs of the court to you." Qianlong thought that if this son did well, he would pass the throne to him in two or three years after he was established as the crown prince. Usually go to the Old Summer Palace. "Set off."

The guards of the guard of honor sounded their whips, and the concubines behind, elder brother, Gege, and courtiers all knelt down, "Queen Mother, the emperor has a good journey..."

"The air outside here is good." Lingxin raised the curtains and looked forward. She was afraid that the Queen Mother would be bored, so she asked Yong Yun and He Xuan to go to the Queen Mother's horse and accompany the Queen Mother to relieve boredom. With the troublemaker He Xuan around, she definitely wouldn't boring.

"Master is thinking about little master." Lingxin was afraid that the boats and vehicles on the southern tour would be exhausted, and that Nanny Rong was getting old, and she needed someone to watch her in the palace, so she let her stay in the palace, and she brought a wind chime to pick her up. Clothes, pick green out.

"Yongji wants to handle the court affairs alone, can I not worry about it? And if there is a big event, the emperor will write his opinion first, and the emperor is also testing Yongji's ability by doing this." These children are all with me, Only Yongji stayed in the capital, Yongji grew up so big, I haven't been away from him for so long, and so far away.

Feng Ling burst out laughing, "Master, this servant is talking about the young masters Hexuan and Yongyun who are at the queen mother's place."

"You are getting more and more courageous now, even Bengong dares to tease you." Lingxin pouted angrily in a foreign dress.

Unknowingly, we came to Shandong, and there was a sound of horseshoes in front of us, and the team stopped.

"What happened?" Lingxin asked.

Feng Ling got out of the car and came back from outside to inquire, "Master, it's the Shandong governor Zhizhou, specially here to pick up the emperor."

"Here, he is very diligent." Lingxin laughed mockingly.

"Long live the emperor, long live the queen mother, long live the queen mother, long live the emperor, long live the queen mother." Entering Jinan, the people on both sides knelt down to greet each other.

Suddenly there was a commotion, "Your Majesty, please make decisions for us! Your Majesty, please make decisions for us!" A middle-aged man in common clothes ran towards us with a piece of paper in his hand.

Qianlong subconsciously protected Lingxin. When he was about to arrive in Jinan, Qianlong asked Lingxin to sit with him. The emperor and empress rode in the same carriage, which could also show the harmony between the emperor and empress.

"Escort, escort." Fang Zhou called his dead man in a panic, and motioned with his eyes to ask the dead man to kill the man and take back the paper.

"Yongjing, go and bring that man." Looking at Fangzhou's panicked appearance, Lingxin guessed what this common people might have affected him, and was afraid that he would silence them.

Yongjing saw that those dead soldiers in Fangzhou wanted to take the life of that commoner, and that commoner seemed to be not good at martial arts, not like an assassin, and he might really have a grievance to avenge.Yongjing quickened his pace, and opened the sword of a dead man who wanted to stab the common people, "Master Fang, Huang Ama wants to see him, and I will take him personally, so I don't need to trouble Mr. Fang." It is unusual to have accomplices and kill them without interrogation.

"I don't dare to bother elder brother with such a small matter." Fang Fangzhou was a little guilty when he said it, and his eyes were a little dodgy.

Those dead soldiers mentioned Shi Fangzhou's hint, took advantage of Yongjing's unpreparedness, and stabbed the commoner to death with a sword, the paper in his hand flew out, and the commoner fell to the ground and died on the spot.A dead man wanted to get the paper, but Yongzhang rushed over and snatched it first. The dead man didn't know Yongzhang's identity, so he wanted to fight Yongzhang. There are also guards around here, and it didn't take long for the dead man who fought with Yongzhang to be taken down by the guards.

Yongzhang straightened his clothes, "Lord Fang, please follow me to the emperor's place."

"The emperor spares my life, my majesty spares my life. I am eager to protect the emperor. I am afraid that the assassin will hurt the emperor. The servant of the minister does not know the identity of the third elder brother. Please forgive me." Just now, Fang Zhou knew that he was the third elder brother from the reply to Yongzhang from a guard. Brother, that was Brother Thirteen just now.

"Huang Ama, my son just said that he wants to keep alive, and this lord wants to be assassinated. It's not that he has no eyes on the emperor, and the commoner looks powerless at first glance. It's impossible for this lord to not see it. " Yong Jing said coldly, there must be something wrong with Shi Zhou, and the commoner might come to sue him, otherwise why would he be so nervous and want to silence him.

"My eyes are stupid, I only want to protect the emperor." Shi Fangzhou defended himself, now there is no proof of death, even if it is in the hands of the third elder brother, I don't know what is written on it?

"Huang Ama, my son carefully looked at this piece of paper just now. It is a blank piece of paper, and it seems that there is no trace of writing." Yongzhang wanted to take a look at the paper after getting it. If someone put poison on the paper, he It's good to know first, but he looked and looked, it was a blank piece of paper, and he asked the accompanying imperial doctor to check that there was no poison. Why did this person risk his life to send a blank piece of paper? Paper kills people, which makes Yongzhang puzzled.

"A blank piece of paper?" It wasn't Yongzhang who was surprised, even Qianlong was surprised when he heard it.

When Shi Fangzhou heard a blank sheet of paper, he breathed a sigh of relief, now he only hoped that the emperor would leave Shandong quickly, so that he could rest assured. "Your Majesty, the station has been prepared. Your Majesty and Empress Dowager are also tired all the way. Please go to the station to rest first. Don't worry about boring people."

"Let's go." This way, Fang Zhou pretended that he was easy to fool, who would be bored to death, and we will discuss it later in the evening.

After dinner, the Empress Dowager, Lingxin and several Princess Gege concubines were talking with the Empress Dowager. Qianlong, for the sake of the day, Qianlong specially summoned Yongzhang, Yongjing, Shanbao, and Hongzhou to discuss. Think of it as pure white paper.

"What do you think about what happened during the day?" Qianlong asked. "Yongzhang, you are the first to touch that blank piece of paper, so you speak first."

"Yes, at first my son thought that someone would put poison on that piece of paper. When Huang Ama read the paper, whether it was physical contact or smell into his body, it would poison Huang Ama, but my son asked the imperial physician to read it carefully. There was no poison in it, just a blank sheet of paper. My son also looked at the commoner later, and he didn’t look like he could read. The son had already been buried properly. In addition, he was asked to find out who his relatives were and gave him some Silver." Now Yongzhang can see clearly that the position of Prince Yongji cannot be escaped, as long as he lives in peace and contentment, it is not bad to be a happy prince like the uncle next to him, at least he can keep his family safe, and the queen treats him well. Grace.

"Well, you've done a good job." Qianlong nodded in satisfaction. This son is getting more and more considerate in handling things, and he can assist Yongji in the future, so he can rest assured.

"Son, the people don't seem to know martial arts. They don't want to dodge when they are stabbed with swords. They really don't want their own lives." Yong Jing thought for a while and said, "I think there is something wrong with that method. Let him do it."

"Well, Shanbao, I will leave it to you. Be sure to check it out before leaving Shandong. This time we will only stay in Shandong for two days."

"The servant complies with the order." Two days, your majesty, you really think I am quick.

On the second day, Qianlong accompanied the Queen Mother and a large group of people to enjoy the scenery of Jinan, but he still remembered what happened yesterday. In order to make it easy for Shanbao to investigate, he specially asked Fang Zhou to accompany him.

I don't know if it's because of Fang Zhou's bad luck or because of Shanbao's good ability. Shanbao did some investigations that night, and judging from various clues, this time, Fang Zhou is going to die this time.

"It's unreasonable, this method is very courageous." Qianlong looked at the memorial of Perfect Bao, and slapped it on the table.

"It's thanks to the third elder brother that the servant can find out so quickly." If the third elder brother hadn't told him, the family members of the common people had found them. It turns out that Shandong has suffered from drought since last year, and the crops have not been harvested. The people are living in dire straits, but Shi Fangzhou took the opportunity to raise the price of rice and make huge profits from it.From this line, Shanbao asked a few more people, as well as the owners of the rice shops. Eight out of ten of the behind-the-scenes bosses are Shizhou, and the food for Fangzhou is the disaster relief food distributed by the court.

"Yongzhang?" Qianlong looked at Yongzhang inquiringly.

"I don't know if my son has done good deeds. After burying the people who died yesterday, I learned something from his family. My son didn't know if it was useful, so I told Master Shanbao." I learned from the guard's report. Yongzhang is also considering whether to tell about this matter, whether to continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, or to sell favors to Shanbao. Shanbao is Lan Xin's forehead, which means he is the queen's son-in-law, and selling favors to others is tantamount to selling the queen In the end, he decided to inform him of his favor. Thinking about it now, his decision was not wrong.

"There is a drought in Shandong. I remember that the imperial court has distributed food to relieve the disaster. This way Zhou is so bold, he dares to embezzle the imperial court's grain and make a profit from it. Be careful, send someone to arrest him."

"Yes." Shanbao led the order to catch Fang Zhou overnight.

On the second day, Shanbao came by boat with some scars on his face.

"Shanbao, why are you injured?" Qianlong knew without asking, just by looking at it, this method was probably a rebellion, and both of them suffered injuries during the fight, but Qianlong only guessed half of it correctly.

"Back to the emperor, the slave rushed to Fang's house, and Shi Zhou got the news from somewhere, and he had already taken his family out of the city, and the slave chased him out of the city. This way, Shi Zhou raised more than a dozen dead men, and the slave also fought with them It took a long time before Fang Zhou was captured."

"The emperor spares my life, the emperor spares my life." Fang Zizhou knew that now the evidence is convincing, and his chance of survival is very small. He just wanted to keep his family safe. pass them."

"Yongjing, take someone to copy Fang Zhou's home." Qianlong ignored this Zhi Zhou, bought the dead men, and threatened the lives of the nine clans. Only he can kill the nine clans. This Fang Zhou is too bold. Not to mention the private sale of official food, which made the people of Shandong have no means of living, which is a heinous crime.

When Yongjing finished copying Fangzhou's house, the number surprised even himself, so he quickly sorted it out and reported it to Qianlong.

Qianlong became even more angry after reading the list of house raids on Yongjing.It was decreed that Fang Zhou's head beheaded, all Fang's family property was handed over to the state treasury, and all Shandong officials were dismissed for investigation.In addition, a few officials were left to deal with Shandong's affairs first, and all the food must be distributed to the people, so that Yongji could arrange the officials to take up posts as soon as possible with the Ministry of Households.It also exempted Shandong from taxes for three years.

After disposing of the boat, Qianlong didn't want to stay in Shandong for a long time, so he ordered to set off on another day.

Xiao Jian had an unexpected harvest in Shandong. He knew that it was Fang Zhou who killed his parents back then. The pain of a loved one.Fang's family members were locked in prison, Xiao Jian bribed the jailer, killed Fang Zhou's family members, and made them look like he hanged himself.Before he was executed, Shi Fangzhou knew that his family members were all dead. He thought that someone had killed him, and he had no time to appeal for grievances.

After Xiao Jian finished dealing with it, he chased after the southern tour team and told Little Swallow that he had already taken revenge, but Qianlong would not let him go.
