Chapter 94 (2) The beginning of a suspicious case

Having said that, Qianlong was like a huge locust. Wherever he went on his southern tour, the houses of residents along the way had to be demolished, so as not to make him look uncomfortable.Qianlong demanded that one tael of silver should be compensated for the demolished tile houses, and half a tael of silver should be compensated for the demolished thatched houses.But let's forget about what he said, and he didn't bother to inform the Ministry of Accounts, so the compensation was nothing at all. That's all, the water Qianlong drank was specially provided, and people had to fetch water from Xiangshan Spring and drive Qianlong's car along the way to deliver it. The cost of this fee alone is a scary figure.

Emperor Qianlong was determined to spend nothing on the Qing Empire, leaving his descendants impoverished. As the saying goes, the emperor is not in a hurry for eunuchs.Qianlong didn't think about his descendants, but the ministers jumped up and down anxiously, wanting to remind him, and worried that his head would be chopped off by this guy, so he didn't know how uncomfortable it would be.Just when the big guys were suffocating, suddenly there was Guan Guizhen, a member of the Jiangnan Water Conservancy Project, who got a copy of the so-called Sun Jiagan's manuscript titled "Five Puzzles and Ten Puzzles" from nowhere.All of a sudden, all the officials were rejoicing and running around copying each other.

This manuscript was written to Emperor Qianlong in the tone of an admonisher, Sun Jiagan. The central idea is to suggest that Qianlong should stop being poor like a lunatic.In addition, the manuscript also expresses sympathy for Zhang Guangsi who was broken by Qianlong, thinking that Qianlong is too poisonous, that Zhang Guangsi has made many mistakes, and is loyal to the royal family after all; not to mention the failure of the attack on Dajinchuan, Zhang Guangsi cannot be blamed, It's all because of your incompetence, Qianlong... How could you be so cruel that you broke Zhang Guangsi into pieces?

As for the so-called writer Sun Jiagan, he was a well-known official in the Kangxi era. He didn't love money and was not afraid of it. He often wrote some memorials to add trouble to Kangxi, so he became famous for a while.The reason why this fake manuscript is named Sun Jiagan is because Lao Sun’s name is too famous. It is generally believed that Lao Sun should write such a memorial. The matter is too high, and I just want to ask for a whole body, and I have long lost the vigor to stand up to primitive people like Qianlong. Just such a manuscript was passed around and passed to the governor of Shandong, Zhuntai.At that time, when Zhuntai saw this manuscript, his soul flew away.

As an official, Zhuntai thought about one thing every day, carefully trying to figure out what kind of person Emperor Qianlong was.If Emperor Qianlong is really a Mingjun, then he will show his hands; if Emperor Qianlong is not clear, then he has to be careful.But according to Zhuntai's research, it was found that Qianlong was actually a Sui Yang Emperor type figure, more outrageous than a tyrant. To be precise, Qianlong was a scourge. If he didn't cripple the country, he would not be finished. However, Qianlong did not end up in the end of Emperor Sui Yang and was strangled to death. It was not because Qianlong understood it so well, but because the times were different.Emperor Sui Yang lived in troubled times, and if he made a fuss again, the world would naturally be in chaos.However, Qianlong was in a peaceful era, and the vigor of the Chinese people had long been exhausted by Confucianism, so Qianlong was allowed to harm him to death.

Let’s put it this way, if this manuscript that kindly persuaded the emperor not to harm him fell into the hands of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, the writer would be promoted; if it fell into the hands of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, the writer would get rich; if it fell into the hands of Emperor Kangxi In the hands of Yongzheng, the person who wrote the manuscript will be unlucky; if it falls into the hands of Yongzheng...the manuscript will not fall into the hands of Yongzheng, because no one will tell Yongzheng. But this manuscript will definitely fall into the hands of Qianlong, because Qianlong has secret informants in various places. If Zhuntai doesn't report it, he will definitely be exposed by spies, and it is necessary to copy and kill.

In other words, this manuscript will not only fall into the hands of Qianlong, but also set off a rain of unjust prison blood. So Zhuntai didn't dare to hide it, so he had to submit the manuscript.But out of fear of unjust imprisonment, Zhuntai did not dare to say that the manuscript came from Guan Guizhen in Jiangnan, and lied that he picked it up on the road. To no avail, Zhuntai was quickly arrested and imprisoned, tortured. Guan Guizhen from Jiangnan was imprisoned at the same time as Zhuntai.
