Why does Qianlong like Hezhen so much? Because of the unseemly things, he can let Hezhen gan, such as the national treasury has no money, and it is not good to increase taxes to the people, so let Hezhen go greedy. Give He yan the right, how much you want to be greedy, so that he will definitely die loyal, with Qianlong's ability and rights, both can give and receive, then it is enough to kill him with just one excuse.
As an emperor, Qianlong was undoubtedly qualified, he knew that He yan was a qualified housekeeper, and what Qianlong wanted and could not think of, he Yan could do well at the first time. But the Qianlong Emperor likes does not mean, Jiaqing likes, after Jiaqing ascends to the throne, the good days of Hezhen will come to an end, so what is the fate of Ji Xiaolan?
He Yan was a very capable person, and at the beginning he was indeed a clean official, because in the later stage, because of his excessive power, he became greedy because he was overwhelmed. Ji Xiaolan and Liu Yong's abilities were not as good as those of He Yan, so after He Yan's death, Jiaqing encountered difficulties and no one solved them, so he said that He Yan was not useless, it was implied that He Yan had a strong ability to do things.
The main greed is Qianlong, and He Yan is a black pot, he alone holds 6 positions of yipin ministers, and the deputy positions are innumerable. He is also 5-6 times the size of an ordinary minister, and he still does his own business, even if he is not greedy, he will not be poor. He Yan was too powerful, Jiaqing could not control him, afraid that he would rebel one day, so he killed him to prevent future troubles.
Because he was too powerful, his power was tilted against the opposition, and his protégés were all over the world. If the Jiaqing Emperor wanted to truly grasp the power, he was bound to get rid of such a powerful courtier as Hezhen, establish his own authority, and his grandfather, the Kangxi Emperor, to get rid of Aobai. The power of the Washu army was very large, and before his brother died, the army under the jurisdiction of Hezhen could be said to be invincible.
After his brother's death, there was also a considerable number, and he himself was still the Governor of the Nine Doors, but it was the same as Ao Bai and the like. If something happens in the palace, the people below will not dare to move. Because Jiaqing was well disguised, he never showed the idea of confronting Heqing, and Heqing had many eyeliner around Jiaqing, so he naturally relaxed his heart, and did not expect that Jiaqing would hit a blow.
Another important reason why Jiaqing hated Hezhen was that he was involved in Jiaqing's claim to be the empress dowager. Although Jiaqing did not yet have real power when he ascended the throne, Qianlong allowed him to make empress. At that time, Jiaqing wanted to make his favorite concubine Fujin empress, but He yan interfered with it and suggested that one of Jiaqing's side Fujins be made empresses.
Because this side Fujin is somewhat related to him, this matter makes Jiaqing very unhappy. Later, after Qianlong died and Jiaqing took real power, Jiaqing quickly deposed his own empress and re-established the previous concubine Fu Jin as the queen. In this way, it seems that Hezhen is really only loyal to Qianlong alone, not the Qing Dynasty, so Hezhen cannot stay.
Ji Xiaolan and Qianlong trio, the real age difference is relatively large, Ji Xiaolan is 13 years younger than Qianlong, and He Yan is the youngest, he is 26 years younger than Ji Xiaolan, 39 years younger than Qianlong, which is completely different from the image brought to us in the TV series. Although Ji Xiaolan was bigger than He yan, his power trick was not at all he yan's opponent.
Ji Xiaolan basically had only two achievements in this life, the first achievement was to compile the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book", which is familiar, and the second was that he vigorously supported the imperial examination and selected talents from all over the country. He was an official who was devoted to the country, and as for the open and secret struggle in the imperial court, he did not want to participate, and he could not fight hezhen.
After all, He Yan was a red person around Qianlong, even if he wrote the "Four Libraries Complete Book", the general person in charge was also He Yan, and Ji Xiaolan was just a worker under He Yan. He Yan's cultural level is still not low, since he was a child, he has been reading poetry and books, proficient in many languages, Ji Xiaolan did not dare to oppose him all his life.
The plot of Ji Xiaolan and Hezhen frequently fighting in the TV series is only the plot that needs to be adapted. Ji Xiaolan was able to edit the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book", which proved that his cultural level was not low, he planted Xiucai at the age of 17, he was the first in the township examination at the age of 24, and he officially started his official road at the age of 31. Because his ability was deeply appreciated by Qianlong, he became a bachelor in the imperial palace and was a four-pin official.
Because it took him 13 years to complete the editing of the Siku Quanshu, this credit also led to his successful promotion to Reibe Shoshu. In 1976, Ji Xiaolan presided over Qianlong's enthronement ceremony and, together with Liu Yong, persuaded Qianlong to hand over the jade seal to Jiaqing. Qianlong died after being emperor for four years, and it wasn't long before he was copied by Jiaqing.
Ji Xiaolan was fortunate in comparison, because Jiaqing had always respected Ji Xiaolan, and in 1805, Ji Xiaolan was promoted to a co-founder of the university and was responsible for controlling the Guozijian. But Ji Xiaolan was old, 81 years old, and he died in this year. Why is the gap between two people so huge? One was forced to commit suicide by copying the door, and one was forced to commit suicide by the high-ranking official Houlu.
Because Ji Xiaolan was only a civilian official and did not have much substantive power in his hands, he did not pose much of a threat to Jiaqing. Unlike He Yan, who had a heavy army in his hand, if He Yan had the intention of rebellion, the Jiaqing Emperor would be in a very dangerous situation. As an emperor, such a threat was absolutely not allowed, so after Jiaqing ascended the throne, he could not wait for a minute, and he was eager to get rid of Hezhen.
Then replace the position of Hezhen with his own cronies to consolidate his own strength. He Yan was also a corrupt official, and after killing him, he could play the role of killing a hundred people, telling the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military officials that this was the end of daring to embezzle. Moreover, the sum of the property that He yan has embezzled for so many years is a very staggering number, and the copying of the He Yan family can well replenish the national treasury.
Therefore, killing Hezhen is of great benefit to Jiaqing. Ji Xiaolan was not corrupt, but also had real talent and practical learning, and he was a rare talent, and he persuaded Qianlong to hand over the jade seal to Jiaqing, and Jiaqing was grateful to Ji Xiaolan from the bottom of his heart, so his ending was much stronger than that of Hezhen.
He Yan was just a tool of Qianlong, and he did not even have a way to retreat, but only when the next person in power came to power, the tool would be recycled immediately. Corruption is hateful, but throughout his life, he is actually just a tool for those in power to get away with it, so in addition to being hateful, he is even more pathetic.
At that time, the Qing Dynasty really could not lack Hezhen. Qianlong was not stupid, and he was looking at what kind of person he was. He Yan could not die at the hands of Qianlong, he must die at the hands of Jiaqing, and the purpose was also obvious, to fatten the pigs and then kill them, so that his son Li Wei Lide would be able to manage the world in the future. Unfortunately, although Jiaqing killed Hezhen, his personal ability was not good.
