Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 545 546 [Mission completed]

  After Xiang Nan was released from prison, the emperor married Du Xiaoyue in a grand manner.

  Actually, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, officials were not allowed to marry prostitutes and actresses as their wives. Du Xiaoyue was born as an actor, so she was not qualified to marry Xiang Nan.

  However, the situation is completely different now that the emperor grants the marriage.

   When the queen mother saw that Du Xiaoyue was married, she specially sent congratulatory gifts. Not only accepted Xiaoyue as a righteous daughter, but also gave her money, silk, wedding clothes, etc., which can be said to be doubly favored.

  In this way, Du Xiaoyue marrying Xiang Nan is naturally a match made in heaven, a perfect fit.

  After Xiang Nan married Du Xiaoyue, he took Hong Xia as his concubine. In this way, he has four wives and concubines, which is quite good.

  Although there are more wives and concubines, but because everyone has the same interests, Suyi is not like what is written in Zhai Douwen. Wives and concubines fight every day, and there is no moment of peace. On the contrary, they get along very harmoniously.

  Hong Xia, Xiangyun, and Su Qinglian all know how to read and break characters, and are good at poetry and poetry, so the three of them made friends through literature, and they hit it off.

  Although Du Xiaoyue can't read many words, she has a hearty nature, innocent and lovely. Although she is the main wife with the highest status, Hong Xia, Xiang Yun, and Su Qinglian all regard her as a younger sister, love her, and love her, so everyone gets along naturally and harmoniously.

  …

In the next few years, Xiang Nan not only compiled the Siku Quanshu, but also helped the emperor investigate the fraud case of the Jiangnan Examination Center, the Qi Family Corruption Case of the Internal Affairs Office, the Haisheng Wife Murder Case, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Governor Lu Zhuo Corruption Case, Lu Runtai Injustice Case, The ink corruption case of Hejian Mansion, the ink corruption case of Shandong governor Dexiang, the ink corruption case of Ganzhou, the Ge Beizi conspiracy case, the Mei Hanlin injustice case, the Shengjing General Fugui corruption case, etc., etc., have made extraordinary achievements .

   Because of this, Xiang Nan's official position is also getting higher and higher. Not only does he wear double-eyed feathers, but he also ranks as Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Prince Taibao.

  In addition, the investigation of the fraud case in the Jiangnan Examination Center also allowed him to accept Zhao Qing; the Lu Runtai injustice case also allowed him to accept Lu Linlang. The addition of the two confidante made the Ji Mansion even more lively.

  …

  In the fifty-fifth year of Qianlong, Xiangyun died of illness.

  In the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong, Su Qinglian died of the epidemic.

  In the sixty years of Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong abdicated and proclaimed himself the Supreme Emperor. Jiaqing came to the throne, but the government was still controlled by Qianlong.

  In the first year of Jiaqing, Xiang Nan went to a memorial to beg for the bones, but was consoled by the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor one after another, and he still served as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and Minister of Rites.

  In the third year of Jiaqing, Hong Xia was seriously ill, and the medicine didn't work, and she died suddenly.

  In the fourth year of Jiaqing, Qianlong died.

  Half a month after the death of Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Jiajing bestowed Heshen on death.

   Before He Shen died, Xiang Nan went to visit him.

   "He Er, Lao Ji is here to see you." He said to He Shen in a senile manner.

   After so many years, they are both old.

   "Old Ji, it's only at this time that you can see who your real friends are." He Shen said with emotion when he saw Xiang Nan.

  When Emperor Taishang was alive, he was the chief minister of the military aircraft, with one man under ten thousand, so glorious that even Emperor Jiaqing dared not provoke him.

  But now, as soon as the Supreme Emperor died, Jiaqing immediately took him to prison. And those guests in his previous house scattered like birds and beasts one after another, avoided seeing him, and there was no one who visited him.

  It’s true, it’s easy to grow and retreat, and it’s easy to reverse and return to the villain.

   "He Er, I reminded you not to be greedy for so much money, you just refused to listen..." Xiang Nan sighed, "Forget it, it's too late to say this now.

  I'll see you today, so I won't bother you. Come on, I asked Xiaoyue to cook a few side dishes, come and try them. "

   As he spoke, he opened the food box and took out Du Xiaoyue's cooked side dishes one by one.

   "Old Ji, you are still good to me~" He Shen couldn't help crying again when he tasted this dish, "I always say that there are two masters in thatched cottage, Mr. Ji's mouth and Du Xiaoyue's hand.

  Mr. Ji's mouth is better than a million soldiers, and Du Xiaoyue's cooking skills are superb. Alas, I died this time, and I can't eat it anymore. "

"Hey, don't be sad. We are all so old." Xiang Nan persuaded, "I guess in a few years, Xiaoyue and I will go there to see you. At that time, I will ask Xiaoyue to fire a few more for you." vegetable."

"Hehe~" He Shen smiled wryly twice, which was uglier than crying, "Lao Ji, you wrote "Yuewei Thatched Cottage Notes" and wrote so many ghost stories, tell me honestly, is there a hell? Will it become a ghost in the future?"

   "There should be." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, a bad person like you, who committed so many crimes while alive, would be wiped out after death. It would be too cheap for you."

   "I hate you, I'm already like this, and you still make fun of me." He Shen complained.

   "Okay, let's not talk about this." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "He Er, let's eat vegetables, and go on the road when you are full. Lord Long Live is still over there, waiting for you to serve him."

  "Long Live Lord~" He Shen's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he regained his energy, "Yes, Long Live Lord is still waiting for me over there. Long Live Lord, don't worry, the slave is coming soon!"

  …

   Fifteen days after Qianlong's death, He Shen was ordered to commit suicide.

  After his death, the house of Hefu was ransacked, and a total of more than 40 million taels of silver was confiscated.

  Although it is not as much as recorded in the unofficial history, it is equivalent to the national treasury's income for a year, which is outrageous!

  In the past few years, due to the Sichuan-Shanxi Bailian uprising, the treasury was empty. The inspection of Hefu just made up for the needs of the treasury.

   As a result, nursery rhymes spread, He Shen fell, and Jiaqing was full!

   After He Shen died, Xiang Nan submitted a memorial again, begging for the bones, but was still comforted by Emperor Jiaqing.

  In the fifth year of Jiaqing, Hong Xia and Lu Linlang passed away one after another.

  In the eighth year of Jiaqing, Zhao Qing died of illness.

  In the ninth year of Jiaqing, Du Xiaoyue was also infected with the epidemic. Xiang Nanyan invited many famous doctors to treat him.

  However, the medical conditions in the 19th century were so poor that a little infection was enough to kill a person, so Du Xiaoyue finally died of ineffective medicine.

   "Sir, Xiaoyue has gone~" Du Xiaoyue held Xiang Nan's hand, reluctantly saying.

   "Xiaoyue, don't be afraid, Mr. will come to accompany you soon." Xiang Nan squeezed out a smile.

   "Yes." Du Xiaoyue nodded, then choked up and said, "Sir, after I leave, you will be left alone, I am really worried about you!

  No one takes care of you, what should you do? If only Xiang Yun, Qing Lian, Zhao Qing, and Lin Lang were still here, I would feel at ease when I left. "

"It's okay, no one will take care of you better, so I can go to you sooner." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Go over there and tell Xiang Yun and Qing Lian that I will pass by soon. When the time comes, Our family can be reunited again."

   "Yes." Du Xiaoyue nodded, and closed her eyes peacefully.

   At the same time, Xiang Nan's long-lost voice sounded again, "Ji Xiaolan thanks the host for realizing his wish, and I will never let Du Xiaoyue down in this life, leaving him with a good memory."

   "The mission is complete, the host is about to return!"
