Chapter 501 Yutang Wealth
He Shen continued, "Your Majesty, I have been watching these two people for a long time. They are selling out the interests of the scholars of the world for their own selfish interests. I have been looking for evidence against them."
He swallowed his saliva and continued, "This Zhao Wenlong is also a scholar, a disciple of the sage. He has the heart to exchange the future of this Jiangnan scholar for silver."
Mo Li, who had been sitting nearby watching He Shen speak, stood up, walked up to He Shen, and said, "Good, good. You are speaking with great righteousness and righteous words."
He Shen said, "Lord Mo, Grand Secretary Mo, you didn't have to set up such a trap. I've wanted to deal with them for a long time. Wouldn't it have been enough if you had just said a word? Why bring us to such a filthy place?"
Mo Li said, "Master He, it's a little late for you to say this."
Emperor Gai Zhang said Mo Li's name.
Mo Li said, "I'm here."
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Tomorrow, I will interrogate Minde, Zhao Wenlong, and Zuo Shankui together with Heshen."
Mo Li said "Yes, Your Majesty," and Heshen said the same thing.
……
Inside a gorgeous building.
Emperor Gai Zhang sat at the stone table, took two sips of tea, closed the lid, and put down the tea bowl.
Heshen came over.
Emperor Gai Zhang greeted him.
He Shen said, "Your Majesty, you haven't slept all night."
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I can't sleep. Mo Li came yesterday, but I didn't see him."
He Shen continued to speak ill of Mo Li, "This Mo Li really doesn't know the importance of things. What's more important, his matter or your rest, Your Majesty? Ignore him, Your Majesty."
Emperor Gai Zhang said: "In fact, he is not here for personal reasons. He must be here for the Jiangnan Imperial Examination case."
He Shen smiled and said, "What a coincidence, Your Majesty! I was also thinking about this matter."
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "It's annoying. Corrupt officials deserve to be killed for their greed for money, but they ruined other people's lives. I don't know what to do with them."
He Shen sighed, then remembered something and said, "Your Majesty, I came across something very interesting on the street this morning. Would you like to take a look at it?"
Emperor Gai Zhang asked curiously, "What is it?"
He Shen turned around and said to the people behind him, "Bring it here, quickly."
Everyone brought over several pots of flowers and stood in a row.
There are four pots in total.
Every pot of flowers is different.
Emperor Gai Zhang took a look and said, "What's the big deal?"
He Shen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, these are all bonsai."
Emperor Gai Zhang didn't take it seriously and said, "I don't have enough bonsai in my palace yet. I have to trouble you to bring some in from outside."
He Shen laughed and said, "That's not what I meant, Your Majesty. Please look carefully. These bonsai are extraordinary. They are all made of paper and silk."
Emperor Gai Zhang finally understood, and said with an "oh", "Really?"
He Shen said, "There's something special about this. These four pots together are called Jade Hall and Wealth. Look, magnolia, crabapple, peony, and osmanthus, together they mean Jade Hall and Wealth."
Emperor Gai Zhang nodded and said, "It is indeed a masterpiece of exquisite craftsmanship. It is all fake, I didn't notice it."
He Shen said, "Your Majesty, how could you not see it? It's just that you were so angry that you didn't notice it for a moment. Your Majesty, think about it, we have seen all kinds of bonsai in the past. But I think that only this kind of paper and silk is truly exquisite and beautiful, don't you think?"
The Emperor said, "It is unique. Good stuff, good stuff."
