Chapter 53
Li Qingge has an open attitude towards the landlords' actions in setting up private enterprises. She believes this is good for both the country and the people. Therefore, she provided great support and encouragement. Under her advocacy, state-owned enterprises and private enterprises complemented each other and jointly created the prosperity and strength of Dayan.
In textile, manufacturing, smelting, chemical and other industries, Li Qingge opened up technology and provided policy encouragement. She knows that these industries are important pillars of the country's economic development. Therefore, she actively introduced advanced technology, encouraged innovative development of enterprises, and laid a solid foundation for the country's industrialization process.
However, Li Qingge strictly controls the involvement of private companies in industries related to people's livelihood and national security, such as water, electricity, gas, public transportation, etc. She knows very well that these industries are related to the stability of the country and the well-being of the people. Therefore, she insisted on state-led efforts to ensure the safety and reliability of these industries.
In addition, Li Qingge also founded a luxury goods group, which is half-private and half-state. It has five subsidiaries, which deal in high-end products such as ready-made clothing and footwear, perfume, bags, porcelain, and jewelry. . She recalled that Hermès, LV, Chanel and other brands in her previous life were all hugely profitable and could remain popular even in the economic downturn. The world says luxury goods are expensive, but in fact they are more of a symbol of identity and status. For the rich, the quality of the product is not the most important. What is important is that it can highlight their identity and status and make them feel superior to others.
Luxury goods are actually a way to buy brand labels and highlight status. Li Qingge is well aware of this, and she decided to take advantage of this psychology to create her own luxury brand. Rather than letting foreigners make money from Chinese people, it is better to keep this money in the country and prevent it from flowing to outsiders. Moreover, the exquisite craftsmanship of Chinese treasures such as Yun brocade, tapestry, Longquan ink pads, etc. far exceed the marketing gimmicks of foreign brands.
She remembered that a friend once bought a fake LV bag, but it collided with the real bag. The fake bag was fine, but the real bag was cracked. It was really ridiculous. Foreign luxury goods are of poor quality and high prices, but Chinese people flock to them. Now, Li Qingge wants to redefine the concept of luxury goods, let the luxury goods of Dayan country go to the world, and make foreigners fall in love with them.
So, she carefully planned to combine traditional Chinese craftsmanship with modern design concepts to create a series of unique luxury goods. These products are not only of high quality, but also contain profound cultural heritage, making them unforgettable at first sight. Soon, the luxury goods of Dayan Kingdom emerged in the international market and won widespread praise and recognition.
Although this hunting activity led to a romantic story, Li Qingge was not distracted by it. She still walks firmly on her own path, working hard for the beliefs and ideals in her heart. She knows that there is still a long way to go, but she believes that as long as she perseveres, she will be able to create a more brilliant future.
Li Qingge always distributes the money he earns carefully. The small part she used was used to maintain daily expenses and ensure the stable operation of the palace and the people. There was no luxury or waste, and every sum was spent appropriately. And the excess she used generously for charity to help the helpless elderly and children. She knows that there is too much suffering in this world, and being able to do her part is a source of warmth. As a result, she often went to orphanages and nursing homes in person. Seeing the faces that smiled because of her help, her heart was filled with satisfaction and relief.
Li Qingge, the queen of the Great Yan Dynasty, not only has a compassionate heart, but also has extraordinary wisdom and courage. On the one hand, she is committed to developing her own industry, implementing a series of reform measures, encouraging farming, industry and commerce to develop simultaneously, so that everyone can become rich. She has a long-term vision and knows that only when the country is strong can the people live and work in peace and contentment. On the other hand, she is like cutting leeks from the rich, cleverly harvesting benefits to replenish the national treasury and lay the foundation for the country's future development. Although this trick may seem cunning, it is actually a sign of deep affection for the country and its people.
While Li Qingge was thinking about how to further expand the economy and was preparing to use her "leek cutting" method in the luxury goods industry, Liu Yong's voice suddenly came from outside the hall. The voice was urgent and powerful, breaking the tranquility of the palace.
"Your Majesty, I have urgent matters and I request an interview."
Li Qingge put down the ink pen in his hand and looked up outside the palace, thinking to himself. She knew that Liu Yong was a steady person and would never be so abrupt unless it was really urgent.
"Let him in." She said softly, her tone revealing unquestionable majesty.
"Yes!" The attendant responded and left. After a while, Liu Yong quickly walked into the hall and bowed.
"I have encountered a difficult matter, and I beg your Majesty to make a wise decision!" There was a hint of anxiety in Liu Yong's voice, and it was obvious that this matter made him quite embarrassed.
Li Qingge put down the ink pen in his hand and looked up at Liu Yong, his eyes revealing sharpness and insight: "What is so difficult to handle? Let me tell you."
"Your Majesty, there is a man in Yangzhou It is difficult to decide the case of a husband who cheated on his wife and then married her, so I came to ask for your Majesty's instructions." Liu Yong's words revealed helplessness and confusion.
Hearing this, Li Qingge frowned slightly: "According to the law, this kind of thing should be regarded as bigamy. He can be imprisoned for three years. What's so difficult?" There was unquestionable determination in her voice. .
"The difficulty is that this person has a special status and it is difficult to enforce the law." Liu Yong's voice became deeper, as if he felt very embarrassed when telling this secret.
Li Qingge raised his head in surprise, doubts and curiosity flashing in his eyes: "How special is your status? Could it be that I am the King of Heaven?" There was a hint of ridicule and relaxation in her tone, trying to relieve the tension. atmosphere.
"I am not the King of Heaven, but I am still a noble person. He is the cousin of the Qing Emperor." Liu Yong's voice was low and powerful, revealing the seriousness of the matter.
"The emperor's cousin?" Li Qingge said in surprise, and a wave of waves surged in her heart. Although she and the Qing Dynasty were not in conflict with each other, the undercurrent between them never stopped. Now, this cousin has actually gone to her territory to cause trouble, which is really a headache.
"Your Majesty, the whole story is as follows..." Liu Yong began to report the case to Li Qingge in detail.
I think back then, Li Qingge ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor and established the Dayan Dynasty. She carried out land reform and advocated equality between men and women, which led to the rapid development of economic and technological development in the south. Her fame spread in the north, and the Qing court was shocked and frightened, so it blocked traffic between the north and the south and banned the spread of the news. However, Li Qingge was focused on developing the economy and technology in the south and did not want to provoke a dispute at this time. But she also hopes to recruit talents and revitalize the country. So she secretly ordered the factory to produce the most exquisite diamonds, and quietly dug several tunnels on the north-south border.
These tunnels became the secret channels for communication between the Great Yan Dynasty and the north. Through these tunnels, they secretly traveled to the north to recruit talents from all walks of life. These talents were reused and given preferential treatment in the south, making the economy and science and technology of the Great Yan Dynasty more prosperous.
However, the secret was later leaked. The tunnel turned out to be a secret passage for northern dandies to go south to have fun. These disciples, coveting the beauty and beauties of Jiangnan, came to the south through tunnels one after another. They spent money like water and were extravagant, which had a certain impact on the society in the south.
Since ancient times, the beauties of Jiangnan have been loved by the powerful. During Qianlong's southern tour, ostensibly he wanted to observe the sentiments of the people and benefit the people, but in fact he was just traveling around and having fun. Some people even say: "The women in the north are not as good as the beauties in the south." Since Dayan ruled the south, these rich and powerful people can no longer have fun in Jiangnan as before. They are all itchy and dream of returning to Jiangnan. .
After the tunnel was exposed, some people who were good at camping began to act as intermediaries to arrange for these people to enter the south. They charge high fees to facilitate these dudes. These children spent extravagantly in the south, which brought certain hidden dangers to local social security.
Among them was Qianlong's cousin Taiyue who was arrested for bigamy. Taiyue is a member of the Qing royal family, and his status is noble and special. He relied on his aunt to be the queen mother and lived a luxurious and shameless life. He has many wives and concubines at home, and he is still entangled with married women outside. In order to seek excitement, he heard that there was a tunnel leading to the south, so he bribed others to arrange for him to go there.
After arriving in the south, Taiyue was horrified to see the changes in major cities. He had never seen such a prosperous scene, nor had he felt such a free atmosphere. He immediately went to Yangzhou to look for beautiful women. However, Li Qingge has banned brothels, casinos and other places, and Taiyue wants to indulge his desires but can't find the opportunity.
Just when Taiyue was about to leave, he met a stunning woman Liu Yuner. When Liu Yun'er saw that he was handsome, well-dressed, and generous, she knew he was a kid from a rich family. She secretly thought about it and decided to use this opportunity to change her destiny.
The man covets women, and the woman loves money. The two soon fell in love. Liu Yun'er was cunning and witty, and after a few glasses of wine, she found out Taiyue's family background. After learning that he was the Queen Mother's nephew, Liu Yun'er was ecstatic. Her parents had always hoped that she could marry into a wealthy family and be a concubine, but the queen abolished the system of polygamy and eliminated the class of landlords and gentry, and her dream of becoming a dragon and a phoenix was also shattered. Now she met Taiyue, a playboy, and Liu Yun'er came up with a plan to trick him into marrying her.
Taiyue didn't know that Dayan had reformed the marriage system. No orders from parents or words from a matchmaker were needed. As long as they registered, they were husband and wife. In order to please Liu Yun'er, he followed her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register for marriage. The two spent a sweet time. However, after a long time, Taiyue began to get tired of Liu Yun'er and wanted to abandon her and return to the north.
Liu Yun'er was angry at his ruthlessness and unrighteousness, so she went to the government with her marriage certificate to accuse him of bigamy. She pretended to be an unwitting victim, saying she didn't know Taiyue already had a wife. After the county magistrate saw the marriage certificate, he summoned Taiyue for questioning. Taiyue didn't know that Dayan banned polygamy, so he told the truth that he had seven concubines in his family and planned to give Liu Yun'er the position of ninth concubine.
The county magistrate heard that he had eight concubines in his family and dared to register a marriage in Dayan. He was obviously deliberately breaking the law and flouting the Queen's laws. So he was imprisoned for bigamy. Taiyue was at a loss as soon as he was imprisoned. He arrogantly claimed to be Qianlong's cousin and the Queen Mother's nephew, saying that Dayan had no right to punish him. He also said that it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines. What kind of sin is it to play with a woman?
After listening to Liu Yong’s report, Li Qingge was silent for a long time. Her heart was filled with anger and helplessness. She knew that this case was not just a simple bigamy case, but also involved an undercurrent between the two dynasties. She must handle it carefully and not let this case become a trigger for war.
"Liu Yong, how do you think this case should be handled?" Li Qingge's voice was low and powerful, revealing her firmness and determination.
After thinking for a while, Liu Yong said: "Your Majesty, I believe that punishment should be severe in accordance with the law. Although Taiyue has a noble status, he violated the law and discipline in Dayan and must be punished accordingly. Otherwise, Our laws will be ineffective and unconvincing.”
Li Qingge nodded in agreement. She knew that although this decision was difficult, it was necessary. She couldn't condone adultery because of Taiyue's status, let alone let Dayan's law become a piece of paper.
"Okay! Convict him of bigamy according to the law and imprison him for three years!" Li Qingge's voice was firm and powerful, revealing her majesty and justice.
This decision soon spread throughout the Great Yan Dynasty. People praised Li Qingge for her fairness and decisiveness, and were impressed by her wisdom and courage. Taiyue spent the most difficult three years of his life in prison. He finally understood his mistakes and sins, and also realized the majesty and justice of Dayan's law.
Three years later, Taiyue was released from prison. He returned to the north full of fatigue and regret. He told his relatives and friends about his experience and warned them not to make the same mistake again. From then on, he changed his ways and became a good, law-abiding citizen.
Li Qingge, on the other hand, continued to devote himself to developing the economy and technology of the Dayan Dynasty. She implemented more reform measures, encouraged people to work hard and get rich, and laid a more solid foundation for the country's future. Her fame spread far and wide and she became a legendary queen. Under her leadership, the Dayan Dynasty ushered in an era of greater prosperity and prosperity.
The county magistrate saw that Taiyue's status was unusual, and he was worried that if he didn't handle it well, the war between Dayan and Daqing would start again. The fine beads of sweat on his forehead flickered in the weak candlelight, and his hands nervously rubbed the corners of his clothes, as if this could relieve the pressure in his heart. With this thought, he reported up level by level, and his heart tightened every time he went up a level, until he finally reported to Zhongshu Ling Liu Yong.
When Liu Yong heard this, he frowned and a look of headache flashed in his eyes. He sat on the pearwood chair in the study, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, making a dull sound, as if he was thinking about how to start. After a while, he sighed, stood up, and decided to ask Li Qingge for help.
Li Qingge was leaning on the soft couch at this time, playing with a string of green jade beads in his hand, his eyes lazy and deep. When she heard Liu Yong's detailed account, she raised the corner of her mouth slightly and smiled lazily: "What's so difficult about this? The country has laws and the family has rules. If the prince breaks the law, he will be punished like the common people. Let's just follow the law. Just come and do it."
Liu Yong frowned even more. He paced anxiously in front of Li Qingge and clasped his hands. Li: "Your Majesty, I have already investigated this matter. In fact, Liu Yun'er was greedy for wealth and set up a trap to frame Taiyue. If we sentence Taiyue for bigamy, wouldn't it be done to her? "Wish?"
Li Qingge lightly touched the blue water emerald paperweight on the table. The paperweight glowed with a faint blue light under the light, as if it could see into people's hearts. Her voice was calm and indifferent: "Did Liu Yun'er commit murder and set fire?"
"No." Liu Yong shook his head, his eyes filled with helplessness.
"Then which law of Dayan did she violate?" Li Qingge asked again.
"No." Liu Yong's voice became even deeper.
"That's right." Li Qingge chuckled, with a trace of sarcasm flashing in his eyes, "In matters between men and women, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. You can't blame only one person. If Taiyue hadn't been lustful How could we end up in this situation? Everyone must be responsible for their own actions. Taiyue is already an adult, not a child. Even if he was tricked, he asked for it."
After hearing this, Liu Yong's face changed slightly and he said thoughtfully: "Although. That said, but after all, he is from the Qing Dynasty and the nephew of the Queen Mother..."
Li Qingge waved his hand and interrupted him. His voice was firm and decisive: "Anyone who violates our country's laws will be punished by our country. No matter which country he is from or what his identity is, as long as he violates our laws, he will never be punished." Appeasement! "
Liu Yong couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart when he looked at Li Qingge's firm eyes. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, Taiyue married a wife first and then remarried. If Liu Yun'er becomes more serious, she will become a third party. Isn't it ridiculous for a wife to accuse her husband of bigamy?"
Li Qingge The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Although it is ridiculous, there is nothing we can do. Taiyue's wives and concubines are all from the Qing Dynasty, and our country's laws only protect the people of Dayan. Since there is no record of Taiyue's previous marriage , Liu Yun'er doesn't Knowing his true situation, then Liu Yun'er is the victim legally."
She paused and then said: "Even if Taiyue's wife is also a Dayan, Liu Yun'er becomes the third one. Of the three, Taiyue’s bigamy crime is also innocent. If the Qing Dynasty wants to be held accountable, then let’s fight. This is not the first time.”
So, Liu Yong sentenced Tai in accordance with Dayan’s law. Yue was convicted of bigamy and imprisoned for three years. The news spread quickly to the north like a gust of wind.
Qianlong was sitting on the dragon chair in the Yangxin Hall, playing with a jade seal in his hand, but he had a lot of thoughts in his heart. When he heard that his cousin had been captured by the enemy, he was shocked and angry, and almost dropped the jade seal in his hand to the ground. He immediately ordered the news to be blocked, fearing that the Queen Mother would be worried if she found out. However, how can such a thing be concealed?
The Queen Mother was fasting and praying for blessings in Mount Wutai at this time. She was wearing a simple and elegant cassock, holding Buddhist beads in her hands, and her face was kind and solemn. When she heard about her nephew, she felt as anxious as fire, but she was in Wutai Mountain and could not return to the palace immediately.
The autumn wind in Wutai Mountain is bleak, and the maple leaves are like fire, falling one by one, as if they are telling endless sorrow. The Queen Mother stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the Qing Dynasty in the distance, praying silently in her heart, hoping that her nephew would be safe and sound.
She sent Aunt Gui back, telling Qianlong to find a way to save Taiyue. Aunt Gui returned to the palace after a long journey and conveyed the Queen Mother's will to Qianlong.
Although Qianlong was not very good at ordinary times, he still did a good job in filial piety. When he saw his mother being so anxious, he became anxious too. He sat on the dragon chair, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes flashing with determination, and he decided to rescue his cousin no matter what. At this time, He Shen happened to catch a person. He was as happy as if he had picked up a treasure. He ran to Yangxin Hall overnight to ask for an audience with Qianlong. He was wearing a gorgeous court dress and an official hat, walking in a hurry, with a proud smile on his face.
"My slaves are bowing to the Emperor, long live the Emperor!" He Shen knelt on the ground respectfully and saluted.
Qianlong waved his hand and said indifferently: "You come to see me so late. What's the urgent matter?"
He Shen looked around and saw that there was no one around before he spoke. Qianlong knew what he meant and asked everyone else to retreat. There were only two people left in the Yangxin Hall, the emperor and his minister.
"What's the matter?" Qianlong's tone was a little irritable. He was obviously surprised by He Shen's interruption.
He Shen's face showed joy and he lowered his voice and said: "I have met someone who can relieve your Majesty's worries!"
"Who can relieve my worries? Is it a beauty?" Qianlong asked with a smile. , trying to relieve the irritability in my heart.
“It’s not a beauty, but the green-faced girl’s uncle.” He Shen’s words were shocking.
"What did you say?" Qianlong exclaimed, and the ink pen in his hand fell to the ground. His eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"That's him!" He Shen said with certainty, with a cunning light shining in his eyes.
Qianlong glared at the man and rebuked: "Rebellious ministers and traitors should be killed! This man is related to the green-faced girl, I want to chop him alive!"
The man was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, his voice trembling. He said: "Your Majesty, please spare my life! I was just innocent and implicated!"
He Shen hurriedly He advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down! The green-faced girl's sins cannot be redeemed even by death. But this person may still be of great use. Your Majesty, please listen to his words first."
Qianlong restrained himself slightly. He looked angry and said in a deep voice: "Tell me."
The man's voice trembled as he recounted what happened. It turns out that he is the green-faced girl's uncle. Because of family grudges, he was implicated and punished by the green-faced girl. He had been on the run, but unexpectedly he was caught by He Shen.
He Shen continued: "Liu Quan, the servant's steward, met this man by chance, got into an argument and beat him. This man claimed to be a relative of the emperor, and said that his niece was destined to go to the south to recognize her as the emperor. Liu Quan said Quan thought he was strange and took control of him. And told the servant. After the servant found out, he was indeed related to the green-faced girl, so he brought him to see your majesty."
After hearing this, Qianlong frowned and said after a moment of silence: "This person is really good. Is it useful? I don’t want to He is an insignificant person and has delayed the important task of rescuing Taiyue."
Heshen said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this person will definitely be useful. He knows the details of the green-faced girl and may be able to find out how to save Taiyue." Yue’s clues.”
Qianlong pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, let's keep him first. But if he is useless, I will never let him go lightly!"
The man listened. Yes, I was secretly glad in my heart and quickly kowtowed to express my gratitude. He knew that his life and death were in Qianlong's hands, and he could only save his life by doing his best for Qianlong.
In the days that followed, Qianlong and Heshen interrogated the man together, trying to find clues to rescue Taiyue. The Queen Mother also prayed day and night on Wutai Mountain, hoping that her nephew would return safely as soon as possible.
The autumn wind in Wutai Mountain is still bleak, and the maple leaves are like fire, falling one by one. The Queen Mother stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the Qing Dynasty in the distance, praying silently in her heart. Her figure looked particularly lonely and determined in the afterglow of the setting sun.
After learning about Qianlong's actions, Li Qingge just smiled lightly. She knows that this storm will not subside so easily, but she also believes that her own laws and her own country can withstand any test.
She was sitting on the dragon chair in the royal study, playing with a jade seal in her hand, with a firm light shining in her eyes. She knows that no matter what the future holds, she will stick to her beliefs and protect her country.
And Taiyue, in prison, also began to reflect on his own. He recalled what he had done in the past and was filled with regret. He knew that the mistakes he made could not be undone, but he also hoped that he could have a chance to make amends.
Three years in prison was both a punishment and a redemption for him. Here, he learned humility, patience, and cherishment.
When the three years expired and he walked out of the prison, the sun shone on him and he seemed to be reborn. He knows that his future still has a long way to go, but he also believes that as long as he has faith in his heart, nothing can stop him from moving forward.
And this turmoil was finally calmed down by Li Qingge's determination and Qianlong's efforts. Although the relationship between the two countries has experienced twists and turns, it has become stronger as a result.
The wheel of history rolls forward, no matter how many winds and rains it experiences, it will leave its traces. And this turmoil will also become an unforgettable history between Great Yan and Great Qing.
Emperor Qianlong was sitting in the magnificent hall of the Forbidden City. The sunlight filtered through the carved window lattice and fell on his majestic face, coating him with a thin layer of golden glory. He nodded slightly, his approving gaze falling gently on He Shen like the warm spring sun, an imperceptible smile on his lips, and said, "Okay!" He Shen, the court's eloquent person A gentle man, with a proud smile on his face, but still humbly He responded: "Your Majesty has given you the award. This is all because Your Majesty is wise and powerful and makes good decisions. I just did some trivial things." His voice was as round as beads falling on a jade plate, and every word hit the target perfectly. On Qianlong's heartstrings, it makes people feel relaxed and happy. When it comes to this skill of flattery, He Shen is really unmatched. No matter when and where, he can always make Emperor Qianlong feel good in an almost magical way, like a ray of warm sunshine in winter, dispelling All the haze.
After a while, Qianlong's brows suddenly wrinkled slightly, like subtle ripples on the lake. He asked: "Since that man is the uncle of the green-faced girl, why didn't he go to southern Xinjiang earlier to enjoy the blessings and instead came to the capital? Ended up in such poverty Looking down and out? Even if he can't go to southern Xinjiang, the green-faced girl should send someone away quietly. Why is he still staying in the capital?" In his words, he revealed the mystery of the green-faced girl, that is, Li Qingge. The characters’ deep curiosity and confusion.
He Shen's eyes flashed when he heard this, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He widened his eyes and said sternly to the man cowering in the corner: "If you want to survive, hurry up and kill Qing Qing." Tell me everything about the naughty girl, otherwise you will have a hard time!" The man's name was Jin Aicai, an ordinary farmer in the suburbs of Beijing. He was so frightened that he was shaking like a man in the autumn wind. Luo Ye said tremblingly: "My name is Jin Aicai, and I am a farmer in the suburbs of Beijing. The green-faced girl is actually an orphan picked up by my brother outside. We don't know her life experience, so my brother and sister-in-law gave her I named him Li Qingge. Later, my younger brother unfortunately passed away, and Li Qingge came to live with me." His voice was as thin as a gnat, but his words were clear, as if every word was squeezed out from between his teeth.
After hearing this, Qianlong frowned even more tightly, and his deep eyes shone with unbelievable light. He simply couldn't believe that an orphan girl could make such a big fuss and even declare herself an emperor and rebel. This was simply a fantasy! He asked doubtfully: "What happened later?"
Jin Aicai hesitated for a long time, as if there was a stone in his throat, and hesitantly said: "Later... later..." Seeing this, He Shen was angry. shouted: " In front of the emperor, speak louder! If you dare to hide it again, I will stop using your tongue!" This roar was like thunder. Jin Aicai was so frightened that he kowtowed and said quickly: "I am married because of this! Daughter-in-law is short of money , seeing that she looked pretty good, he...sold her to Baixianglou..."
At this point, Jin Aicai raised his head, his eyes full of horror, as if he had seen something terrible, and he trembled. He continued in a loud voice: "I didn't expect that she could escape from a place like that, and even go all the way south to incite the mob. This is all her fault, and it has nothing to do with me! Please have mercy on the emperor!" His voice said With a crying voice, full of regret and fear.
Qianlong's eyes instantly became as cold as ice, and he stared at him coldly and said: "I see, I received a report before, saying that Baixiang Tower was reduced to ashes overnight, with heavy casualties. Now that I think about it, she did it too. What I didn’t expect was that your greed actually created a female devil who wanted to overthrow my country.” His voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. Revealing endless anger and disappointment.
He Shen sneered from the side, with a bit of ridicule and disdain in his voice: "Even my own niece has the heart to do it. No wonder she knows that after becoming emperor, you don't dare to recognize her." He There was a cunning light in his eyes, as if everything was under his control.
Jin Aicai was so regretful that his intestines were blue, and his heart felt like there were countless ants gnawing at him, causing him unbearable pain. He thought to himself: "If I had known she was not an ordinary person, how could I have sold her to a brothel? Otherwise, I would at least be a county prince today." But, there is no such thing as regret in this world. You have to bear the consequences.
Qianlong said coldly: "What's the use of keeping such a shameless person? Pull him down, chop him into pieces with a thousand knives, and chop him into pieces!" His voice was ruthless, as if he was pronouncing a sentence. The fate of a condemned man.
When he first learned about Jin Aicai's identity, Qianlong wanted to trade him for Taiyue's freedom to make his mother happy. But now that she knew his evil deeds and knew that the green-faced woman was ruthless, she would definitely not be moved by him, so she wanted to kill him to relieve her anger.
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me! Have mercy on me!" Jin Aicai was held by the guards. He was so frightened that he shouted for help. His voice echoed in the empty hall, but no one responded.
He suddenly shouted: "I know someone who can help the emperor, please spare my life!" Qianlong waved his hand to stop the guard, and asked sternly: "Who can help me?" Jin Aicai cried. He fell to the ground and said with a trembling voice: "Although Li Qingge's parents have passed away, their graves are still there. I have a sister named Jin Zhaodi, who is her aunt. He always treats her as his own daughter and often gives her things. If she knew that my sister was in the hands of the emperor, she would definitely find a way to save her. "
After hearing this, Qianlong already had a problem in his heart. He pondered for a moment and said: "Secure him first and don't allow anyone to visit him!" His voice was cold and firm, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
"He Shen——" Qianlong shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the hall.
"The slave is here!" He Shen responded, with a hint of respect and flattery in his voice.
"Do you still need me to teach you about this?" Qianlong asked, with a cunning light in his eyes.
He Shen smiled knowingly, and that smile was full of confidence and cunning: "I understand, let's go and catch him now!"
"Yes!" Qianlong nodded and waved. Tell him to go back quickly. His eyes flashed with anticipation and determination, as if he had seen the future battle situation tilting towards him.
......
In the distant Great Yan Dynasty, Li Qingge was standing on a newly built battleship. The sea breeze was blowing her long hair and blowing away her gorgeous battle robe. Sound. She looked at the giant steel beasts on the sea, which were tens of meters high and more than a hundred meters long, and she felt an indescribable passion and ambition in her heart. These battleships were built by her and were her weapons to conquer the world. She nodded with satisfaction and thought to herself: "With this navy, who dares to invade our land of China? When the sea, land and air forces are all ready, we will dominate the east, sweep across Western Europe and the Americas, and build an empire on which the sun never sets. Difficult matter.”
Suddenly, a navy man hurried in and reported: "Your Majesty, our ship exporting fabrics has been hijacked by Japanese pirates!" There was a bit of anxiety and anger in his voice.
“Japanese pirates?” Li Qingge’s expression changed upon hearing this. She remembered that the Japanese pirates were almost wiped out during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. How come more than a hundred years later, the coastal areas are still harassed by them? National hatred and family hatred came to her mind, and she said angrily: "This disgusting and perverted nation, even if they don't offend us, they dare to seek death! Okay! Then I will help you!" Her voice was as cold as cold. The wind revealed endless killing intent.
So, she appointed Shi Shuyu as the general marshal to destroy the Japanese and led the army to conquer. She also said: "It is not enough to destroy them, we must use our new warships to destroy their island country and make their people slaves of our Great Flame!" Her voice was firm and powerful, as if she had already seen victory. of dawn.
Uncle Shi Yu accepted the order and left, his figure looking particularly tall in the afterglow of the setting sun. Not long after, another navy man came in with a letter and said, "Your Majesty, this is a letter from the Qing court envoy. Please open it personally." There was a hint of respect and caution in his voice.
"Letter?" Li Qingge was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Who wrote it?" There was a bit of disdain and indifference in her voice.
"Qing Emperor Qianlong." Haijun replied, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
Li Qingge sneered, his voice full of ridicule and disdain: "With his vulgar artistic taste, what good things can he write? He is probably scolding me about Taiyue. Take it. Burned, I don't want to humiliate myself." Her eyes flashed with anger and disgust, as if she was filled with endless hatred for the name Qianlong.
The navy hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The messenger said that your Majesty will definitely not want to read the letter, so he brought something else, saying that you will definitely open the letter after reading this." , he took out a silver butterfly hairpin. Although it was crudely made and slightly dull, Li Qingge was shocked when he saw it.
This hairpin was the beloved object of her original owner's aunt. Her adoptive parents once told her that it was a dowry gift from her grandfather to her aunt. She still remembered that when she was a child, her aunt often wore this hairpin and told her stories gently to coax her to sleep. Now, this hairpin appeared here, as if it was a distant call that she could not ignore.
She took the hairpin and gently rubbed the rough surface with her fingers, feeling an indescribable complex emotion well up in her heart. She was silent for a moment and finally opened the letter. In the letter, Qianlong asked her to release Taiyue in an unprecedented sincerity tone, and promised to give her generous rewards. Li Qingge looked at the letter with a sneer on his lips, but ripples appeared in his heart. She knows that this game has just begun...
Li Qingge sat on the magnificent throne, surrounded by decorations of carved dragons and painted phoenixes, demonstrating the majesty of the imperial power. However, her heart was filled with concern for her aunt's family in the south. The warmth was like a ray of sunshine in winter, warm and distant. Since taking the throne, countless affairs have come like a flood, but she has never forgotten the kindness of her aunt's family. Whenever it was quiet at night, she would always think of her aunt's kind smile and the harmony of her uncle's family, and she would feel sad in her heart.
On this day, the sunlight shines through the window lattice and shines on the imperial desk. A silver butterfly hairpin shines softly in the light. Li Qingge's eyes were attracted by this hairpin, and his thoughts instantly drifted back to those warm moments spent with his aunt. She sighed softly, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, and ordered: "Bring the letter."
