When the emperor overcame all objections and sent three armies to attack various places from three directions at the same time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty immediately turned into a real war machine. You must know that the power accumulated by the three emperors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was very terrifying.

The reason why the emperor was so reckless and thunderous was that he did not want all the accumulated wealth and power to be lost by Qianlong. He felt that it would be better to use it all to expand his territory.

"Your Majesty, the three armies have not yet used the food and grass. The amount of money and food consumed in the subsequent war must be terrible." Lao Ba Yunhu immediately looked at the emperor in front of him and expressed his worries.

"Lao Ba, Zhang Tingyu, what do you think about it?"

"Your Majesty, we discussed that taxes must be increased, but the Holy Ancestor Emperor issued an edict never to increase taxes, so we and the Military Aircraft Department are in a very difficult situation."

"Baby, Zhang Tingyu, sometimes I don't understand whether there is something wrong with your brains?"

"Ah? Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Hmph! Why do you always stare at the three melons and two dates in the common people's fields and pockets?"

"This? Isn't this the case with taxes in all dynasties?"

"I have already thought about this issue a long time ago. It is better for the government and gentry to pay the grain together and to collect commercial tax than to collect agricultural tax. I think you just like to pick weak persimmons."

"This...the resistance we face is huge."

"Implement it by force! All those who violate the law and refuse to cooperate will be exterminated, and an anti-corruption bureau will be set up. Any officials who violate laws and disciplines will have their homes confiscated and their families exterminated."

"ah?"

"Hmph! In my eyes, a dog should be loyal. Once it becomes selfish, there is no use keeping it."

"Your Majesty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, even tried to remove the skin and fill it with straw, but he still couldn't stop the corruption of officials!" 33

"Haha, why did I say that corruption will be eliminated? I want to treat all corrupt officials as leeks, and feed my Manchu army one crop after another."

"What? Leek?"

"That's right! In my eyes, they are all delicious leeks. Have you forgotten the huge wealth that Li Zicheng confiscated from the homes of various noble officials in the capital when the Ming Dynasty fell?"

"Yes, that's right! But this will cause resistance from the officials."

"Hmph! They are just a bunch of pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, but they really think of themselves as their masters."

"Well……"

Seeing the emperor using such brutal methods, Lao Ba Yunhu and Zhang Tingyu trembled with fear. It turned out that in the eyes of the emperor, they were just lambs to be slaughtered.

Next, the emperor immediately announced all national policies. Whether it was the payment of grain by the officials and the gentry together, or the forced collection of commercial taxes, the cake in the hands of the scholars was touched. However, in the face of the butcher's knife in the hand of the emperor, they could only submit obediently.

As for the newly established Anti-Corruption Administration, it immediately exerted its terrifying power and confiscated four or five corrupt officials every month. Such a fixed rhythm was like a butcher's knife hanging over the officials' heads.

The officials naturally carried out any orders of the emperor without compromise, just to make the emperor happy and not chop off their heads.



The three thousand beauties in the harem made the emperor a little reluctant to leave. In order to save the emperor from rectifying the officials of the previous dynasty, the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the empress dowager worked together to stuff the emperor with many women.

"Mr. Chungui, how has your health been recovering recently?" The emperor looked at Chungui in front of him and asked with concern.

"Back to the emperor, everything is fine with me and I will be back to normal soon."

"That's good! I still miss you very much during this time."

"Ahem! Your Majesty, I didn't expect that you would be so partial to a noble man. It really makes the concubines in the palace envious." Concubine Duan, who was visiting by the side, said with emotion.

"Concubine Duan, I see that you look good recently. Why are you here today, Lord Chun?" At this time, the emperor noticed Concubine Duan beside him and couldn't help but be attracted by Concubine Duan's temperament.

"Back to the emperor, I heard that Chungui was killed by an adulterer, so I wanted to come over and visit."

"Concubine Duan is interested."

Then the emperor sat with Chungui for a while, then left various valuable supplements and left.

"Su Peisheng, go to Concubine Duan tonight."

"Yes! Your Majesty."

This was the first time the emperor had seen her since time travel. He immediately felt that Concubine Duan was quite charming, so he couldn't help but want to be blessed with this rare concubine.

Although Concubine Duan claimed that she was frail and sick, the emperor knew that she had always been pretending. After all, the grudge between Concubine Duan and Concubine Hua Nian Shilan was too deep.

If the current Hua Concubine Nian Shilan had not been relegated to the cold palace, and all the Nian family that Nian Shilan relied on had been confiscated and exterminated, the always cautious Concubine Duan would never have come forward.

As soon as today's Concubine Duan saw the emperor whom she had not seen for many years, she immediately felt a huge change in the emperor, as if he had become a complete stranger.

Then she heard that the emperor would even think of summoning her. Concubine Duan, who knew her husband best, was even more confused. She didn't think that the emperor would be interested in her, an old woman in her forties.

"Your Majesty, I, my concubine, come to see your Majesty."

"Concubine Duan, come forward."

"Yes! Your Majesty." Concubine Duan held back her shock and confusion and slowly approached the emperor.

The emperor had been staring closely at the sick beauty in front of him, but he felt more and more that she was the hidden beauty. He grabbed Concubine Duan's right hand and pulled her into his arms.

"ah……"

"Yuebin, how long have we been so close?" Looking at Concubine Duan Qi Yuebin sitting in his arms, the emperor looked at Concubine Duan with a smile and asked.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is weak and sick, and has been unable to serve Your Majesty, so I ask Your Majesty to forgive me."

"Qi Yuebin, please stop pretending in front of me. Nian Shilan can no longer pose any threat to you."

"..."

"What? Don't you really think that you can hide things from me inside and outside the palace?"

"Your Majesty, sometimes you still need to be confused. After all, if the water is clear, there will be no fish."

"But what if I don't want to force myself to pretend to be confused anymore?"

"Your Majesty, it is very dangerous for you to do this. In addition, the national policies you have recently implemented under the previous dynasty will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction and rebelliousness of many people."

"That's right! My current situation is really dangerous, so Yue Bin, are you willing to come and protect me?"

"ah?"

"It's easy to dodge a hidden arrow with a clear sword! On the contrary, I'm very worried about the dirty things in the harem. You women would be crazy if you get ruthless."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your consideration, but these matters should be entrusted to the Queen."

"Uranara Yixiu? She is just a self-righteous fool. She thinks her methods are very smart. In fact, in my eyes, she is just a clown."

"..."

"Yue Bin, after much thought, only you can help me, just like when you took the blame for me and was targeted by Concubine Hua."

"emperor……"

"Hehe, you can consider this matter slowly. Now it's better to rest with me quickly."

"Ah? Your Majesty, this concubine can't do it! The safflower soup that Concubine Hua forced to drink back then has indeed caused my concubine to lose her fertility."

"I don't care! I just want a woman who truly loves me."

"emperor……"

Concubine Duan was undoubtedly very moved at this time. She felt very comfortable being looked at by the emperor for the first time, and she couldn't help but start to really consider the emperor's instructions.



Some people died, but not completely...
