In the Forbidden City, Chonghua Palace, laughter is coming from the palace.

The master of laughter was the Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Aisin Gioro Hongli, who turned over and regained his freedom and once again took charge of the government.

Chonghua Palace was originally two of the five Ganxi places in the Ming Dynasty. In the fifth year of Yongzheng, Qianlong moved from Yuqing Palace to live here under the order. In the same year, he married the legitimate concubine Fucha, who later became the Empress Xiaoxian.

The couple lived here for nine years, so this place was not only Qianlong's hidden residence, but also had great significance for Qianlong's life, especially as they were older, they missed their old friends.

Whenever Qianlong thought of the love of his life and the extremely virtuous Empress Fucha, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.

The relationship between the couple is really deep.

Today, after he got rid of the rich thief in Yangxin Palace, Qianlong felt extremely empty and disappointed. Looking around, no one could tell. He came to Chonghua Palace with a sad heart.

Maybe he was in a good mood, and Qianlong laughed from time to time, which made the Chonghua Palace feel like a spring breeze.

You should know that this is the first time since the palace transformation that the emperor's laughter has been heard in the palace, which has made many eunuchs and palace ladies who have experienced the palace transformation feel like they have not seen for a long time.

Emperor Qianlong, who was already 65 years old, saw that except for being a little thin, everything else was fine. He was not only talkative, but also had steady steps. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a forty-year-old.

Accompanying personnel were the Minister of Military Affairs, Suolin, Yuan Shoutong, and Mingde, a Bachelor of the Cabinet.

Suolin and Yuan Shoutong were the heroes of the "witness captured" the traitor Fullerhun, and together with another hero Liang Guozhi, they were given a double-eyed feather by Qianlong.

Gasolin was the Minister of the Imperial Guards, and was appointed as the Minister of the Inner Palace, and was also the Chief of the Manchu Yellow Banner;

Yuan Shoutong was appointed as the former minister of the imperial court, the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace, the General Master of Shangfangshu, and the privilege of riding horses in the Forbidden City;

He was appointed as the Minister of Personnel and the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, and was also granted the Forbidden City riding a horse.

He also appointed Solin as the Chief Minister of Military Affairs, and removed the former Minister of Rites and the Military Affairs Office, and removed the Qinggui, who had "unproven meritorious achievements".

Heshen, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was introduced to the Military Affairs Office and was appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the previous period;

Wang Jie, the former censor of the Right Capital who was returning home from his hometown, was the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace, and immediately entered the Beijing and the Military Affairs Office to see the meeting.

Qianlong originally intended to carry out a major purge of the entire court, but was persuaded by Suolin, Liang Guozhi and others, saying that although the rich thief and his backbone were controlled, there were still many of his followers in the court. If the emperor made a big move, these people would definitely take risks.

Especially when Jia thief Shikai holds military power outside, if the affairs in the capital are not intimate and stir up turmoil, we must be wary of Jia thief Shikai taking the opportunity to bring troops into the capital and follow the old incident of the Ming Dynasty.

Liang Guozhi suggested slow down and adopt a "tight inside and loose outside" strategy for the treacherous party.

On the one hand, he "does not care about the previous crime" to appease the traitors inside and outside the capital. On the other hand, he secretly went to the front line with the fourth prince Lu, "peacefully" taking over the command of the army, and seeking support from the front line of civil and military officials, so that Jia thief Shikai can be completely isolated. Only in this way can he solve it with thunder.

According to folk sayings, it means that you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.

What's more, Prince An was still lying in the capital.

The emperor will spare no effort to clean the inside and outside the court, so how can Prince An sleep and sit?

After all, he was an emperor for more than 40 years, and Qianlong also had a rude and urgent task, so he adopted the suggestions of Suolin, Liang Guozhi and others and took the initiative to take it slowly.

But what surprised Solin and others was that the emperor did not order him to be executed by the richest culprit, but detained him in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. He even asked the guards to take him into the palace to talk every two days, and then sent him back as it was.

This made many ministers doubtful.

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Liang Guozhi, the military minister who accompanied him, wanted to propose to re-propose the example of the rich thief.

This is also a manifestation of the policy of "only punishing the main evil, but not investigating the rest".

If Fuller's thief is not killed, how can we explain the coup incident of the three ministers that occurred in the Military Affairs Office?

How to characterize the incident for this coup?

If the rich thief is not dead, are his subordinates still hopeful?

But when he was about to come forward to make a statement, the emperor asked his left and right, "Where has Li Yu been?"

"Reply to the master's words, Mr. Li cares about him. He is gone."

The person who replied was an eunuch named Oroli. He seemed to be a Manchu, but in fact he was a Han man. He changed his name to himself in private because he fell down from Manchu after entering the palace.

"He was killed by Li Yu?"

Qianlong was stunned and asked what was going on in Oroli.

However, Oluri couldn't say anything. Seeing this, Mingde, a cabinet scholar who accompanied him, stepped forward and quietly revealed the truth about Li Yu's death to the emperor.

According to Mingde, General Manager Li was beaten to death by a sack of color scars and his body was sent to a mass grave outside Beijing by a carriage, most of which the corpse was left untold.

"Li Yu,"

Qianlong was sad for a long time, and finally sighed lightly and walked silently towards his and Empress Fucha's residence.

In fact, Mingde didn't explain it clearly. After Li Yu's death, the color marks made people copy his private house outside the palace and seized a large number of antique treasures. There were hundreds of jars of gold and silver alone, as well as real estate stores, land outside Beijing, and private property in the hometown. General Manager Li had more than 16 billion yuan in personal deposits.

A ledger was also copied from his family, which recorded bribes from 158 officials, including officials from the border.

The former governor of Zhejiang Sanbao even called General Manager Li "Yi Ama" in the letter.

In the dormitory where he lived with Empress Fucha for nine years, Qianlong caressed everything carefully like an archaeologist.

The accompanying officials were all outside and did not dare to enter and disturb them. After a long time, the emperor walked out of the house and said to everyone present: "I have taken over ten thousand people and worked hard all night long. All the affairs in the palace were managed by Empress Xiaoxian back then. They worked very hard and were very considerate and appropriate. I and the queen had a deep relationship."

In the end, Qianlong suddenly issued an order to ask the Ministry of Rites to add a posthumous title to Empress Xiaoxian who had been dead for many years, which surprised the ministers present.

All of them thought of the twelfth prince who was publicly enthroned by the emperor as the crown prince.

"Let's do it."

Qianlong didn't care what the ministers thought, so he waved his hand and ordered the Ganqing Palace, and called Heshen to see him.

The imperial carriage then went from Chonghua Palace to Ganqing Palace.

This was the first time Qianlong came to the Ganqing Palace since he regained his freedom.

After coming to the main hall, Qianlong suddenly asked the officials to go out, and then asked the eunuch Oluli to bring a ladder and take off the secret box placed behind the Zhengda Guangming plaque.

Oluli looked up at the plaque, wondering in his heart when the emperor hid something here.

He didn't dare to be slow, so he immediately climbed up carefully after taking the ladder. As a result, he found a secret box behind the plaque and took it in his hand and quickly got it down.

"master!"

Oluli respectfully handed the dusty box to the emperor.

Qianlong glanced at the box: "You all go out."

"Yeah!"

The eunuchs such as Oluli lowered their heads and did not dare to leave quickly without making a sound.

The hall was quiet.

After carefully examining the secret box for a few breaths, Qianlong reached out to touch the mechanism. With a "click", the box opened instantly, revealing a yellow cloth inside.

Looking at the yellow cloth with the heir's name written by himself, Qianlong felt a little excited, but he felt vaguely worried, so he picked up the yellow cloth and spread it out, and the result changed rapidly: "Daily Six, I will be your eight generations of ancestors!"
