The Qing Emperor's killing intent towards Mei Zhili stemmed from Mei Zhili's betrayal. Mei Zhili was supposed to be the Qing Emperor's trusted aide. The Qing Emperor was indebted to him and had promoted him to Jingzhao Prefecture Magistrate, the capital's highest administrative officer. However, Mei Zhili had taken refuge with the Crown Prince too early and told the Crown Prince Teng Zijing's location. This made the Qing Emperor very dissatisfied. The Qing Emperor could not publicly execute Mei Zhili because this would make the Qing Emperor appear heartless and ungrateful. It was not beneficial to balancing the situation in Jingdou. However, the Qing Emperor could not keep him because the officials who submitted to the Crown Prince were all people who hoped for the Qing Emperor's death. Thus, the Qing Emperor chose to pretend to be a bandit and kill Mei Zhili. He could put the Crown Prince in his place and warn the officials who secretly followed the Crown Prince's lead. The Qing Emperor's goal was to punish the traitor. At the same time, he was sending a warning to the Crown Prince and the others not to set their sights on the people around them.

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.
When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was still young, she was surrounded by Hua Xin's troops and deposed. Finally, she was sent to a violent room and suffered extremely cruel claustrophobic torture before dying. Empress Fu's two princes were also poisoned to death, and more than a hundred members of the Fu Clan were executed. In order to ensure the Cao family's absolute control over the Great Han Dynasty, Cao Cao cut off all threats to Cao Wei's power. Therefore, he deposed Empress Fu and sent his three daughters to the palace. Cao Jie became the Empress of Emperor Xian of Han.
Empress Fu was deposed in front of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and sent to a violent room to be cruelly castrated before she died. Her two princes were also poisoned to death, and more than a hundred members of the Fu Clan were executed. In order to ensure Cao Wei's absolute control over the Han court, Cao Cao deposed Empress Fu and sent his three daughters to the palace. Cao Jie became the Empress of Emperor Xian of Han. As for Empress Fu's specific encounter and reason, the article did not mention it.
Yes, Consort Mei's son was the Qing Emperor's. The Qing Emperor had wanted to kill Fan Xian when he was born, but Fan Jian had used his own son to replace Fan Xian, allowing him to survive. The Qing Emperor had always known that Fan Xian was his son, but the two had never had any father-son relationship. They had even used their son as a chess piece.
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.
