The Qing Emperor and Mei Zhili conversed.

In this conversation, the Qing Emperor expressed his admiration and trust for Mei Zhili. The Qing Emperor indicated for Mei Zhili to sit down, showing the special treatment he gave Mei Zhili. Mei Zhili was hesitant about the Qing Emperor's instructions, but the Qing Emperor firmly expressed his orders. This conversation showed the Qing Emperor's authority and control over Mei Zhili. The conversation between the Qing Emperor and Mei Zhili was an important plot in " Celebrating Years." It showed the complicated relationship and power struggle between the two characters.

The Qing Emperor and Mei Zhili had an intense scene in " Celebrating Years." The dialogue and interaction between them showed the wonderful acting skills of the two actors. The Qing Emperor had been writing. This showed his self-restraint as he grew up. Mei Zhili displayed fear and trepidation in front of the Qing Emperor, while the Qing Emperor displayed his wisdom in strategizing. In this scene, the Qing Emperor did not really kill Mei Zhili. Instead, he sent a message to warn the Crown Prince. This scene displayed the Qing Emperor's power tactics and Mei Zhili's loyalty. At the same time, it also revealed the cruel nature of the power game.

The scene of the Qing Emperor and Mei Zhili in " Celebrating Years " was one of the climax of the entire plot. The Qing Emperor revealed his intentions to Mei Zhili in a subtle way. He first praised Mei Zhili's loyalty and ability, which made Mei Zhili extremely grateful. Following that, the Qing Emperor hinted that Mei Zhili had not done something appropriate. Mei Zhili was both grateful and afraid of such a method. As the Jingdou magistrate, Mei Zhili had been promoted by the Qing Emperor. This in itself meant recognition of his loyalty and ability. However, as the plot developed, Mei Zhili was gradually involved in the whirlpool of power. Although some of his actions seemed to be out of public interest, they violated the Qing Emperor's bottom line. As Emperor, the Qing Emperor could not tolerate the existence of anyone who threatened his power. Thus, Mei Zhili's fate was decided from the very beginning. It was not difficult for the Qing Emperor to order Mei Zhili to die, but he chose to pretend to be a horse bandit and kill Mei Zhili. This showed the Qing Emperor's foresight and the Emperor's mind.

In the novel, Qing Emperor killed Mei Zhili. In the play, in order to link Fan Xian to Lin Gong's death, the Eldest Princess Li Yunrui used her subordinate Yan Bingyun to send a letter from Mei Zhili's family to Fan Xian. After Fan Xian finished reading the letter, he discovered that Mei Zhili was on the Crown Prince's side. He decided to use this letter to overthrow the Crown Prince. Thus, he handed the letter to the Second Prince and had the Second Prince give it to the Qing Emperor. After the Qing Emperor read the letter, he felt that Mei Zhili, as an old official of three dynasties, should know how to protect himself in court and should not participate in factional struggles. Therefore, he decided to execute Mei Zhili.

There were several reasons why the Qing Emperor killed Mei Zhili. First of all, Mei Zhili's wavering attitude in the imperial court was considered one of the capital crimes. The Qing Emperor wanted to complete the great cause of unification and swallow Northern Qi, Dongyi, and other countries. The speed of the factional struggles had to be put aside. Mei Zhili's death was a warning to those ministers who secretly followed the Crown Prince's lead. They should not play any tricks and not be ignorant of the big picture. The second reason was that Mei Zhili had betrayed the Qing Emperor, helped the Crown Prince, and participated in the struggle between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. The Qing Emperor believed that Mei Zhili's actions were a betrayal and unforgivable. In addition, the Qing Emperor might also be worried that Mei Zhili knew something he should not know, so he decided to kill him. In short, the Qing Emperor killed Mei Zhili to protect his ruling position and warn the other ministers and princes not to betray him. At the same time, it was also to grasp greater power and control the entire situation.

The reason the Qing Emperor wanted to kill Mei Zhili was because Mei Zhili had participated in the struggle between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. This was an act that the Emperor would not tolerate. Mei Zhili took the Qing Emperor's salary, but he helped the Crown Prince do things. This touched the Qing Emperor's bottom line. The Qing Emperor hoped to use killing Mei Zhili to put the Crown Prince in his place and warn the officials who secretly supported the Crown Prince. The Qing Emperor was a suspicious and ruthless person. He would not tolerate any challenge to his power. Thus, the Qing Emperor decided to kill Mei Zhili on his way back to his hometown, creating the illusion that he was being killed by horse bandits. Doing so could satisfy the Qing Emperor's need for power and also maintain his benevolent image.

There are many factors, but I think overall, Mei Zhili challenged the imperial power, which is the Qing Emperor's authority. On the one hand, Mei Zhili had blatantly sided with the Crown Prince's faction. This was intolerable for the Qing Emperor, who was in his prime. It was equivalent to "I haven't died yet, and you're already planning on letting my son succeed?" At the same time, in his conversation with the Qing Emperor, Mei Zhili refused to speak the truth. He also mentioned many times how he had helped the Qing Emperor in the past. In his words, he seemed to be taking advantage of his seniority, which made the Qing Emperor very unhappy. He felt that he did not respect his status as Emperor. Also, Mei Zhili had lost his sense of propriety when interrogating Fan Xian and did not act according to the rules. On one hand, the Qing Emperor was protecting Fan Xian (not because of the deep relationship between father and son, but because Fan Xian was useful to him). On the other hand, he was also dissatisfied that Mei Zhili had publicly slapped Fan Xian in the face as the Commissioner of the Inspection Council. It was equivalent to challenging his authority. Finally, there was another consideration. Killing Mei Zhili could suppress the Crown Prince and balance his power. At the same time, it was also a warning to the Crown Prince. Because the Qing Emperor's attitude toward his son was basically to support and rope him in at times to temper the Crown Prince's mind, he would kill Mei Zhili for political reasons.

The Qing Emperor's way of dealing with Mei Zhili was to let him retire and return to his hometown. He also arranged for horse bandits to intercept and kill him on his way back. This way of handling things showed the Qing Emperor's tolerance and respect for Mei Zhili. At the same time, it also sent a warning to the Crown Prince and others not to act recklessly. The Qing Emperor was the one who truly controlled life and death. The Qing Emperor's way of handling things not only maintained his image as a benevolent ruler, but also displayed his authority and control.
