The Qianlong Emperor's side of He Yan is undoubtedly the representative of the corrupt officials, the image of the corrupt officials is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but the Qianlong Emperor is very fond of He Yan, when the Emperor Taishang also made He Yan a military minister, and at the same time told the Jiaqing Emperor not to kill He Yan, but the Jiaqing Emperor just personally disposed of He Yan, and copied out 820 million to 11 billion taels of silver from the He Yan family, plus other antiques and treasures, and the family property of He Yan exceeded the sum of the Qing Dynasty's fifteen years of financial revenue.
The Jiaqing Emperor suddenly obtained such a rich stroke, and his heart was naturally happy, but he also hated Hezhen deeply, and before Hezhen was dismissed from his post and imprisoned, he also thought that he would not die of sin, even if the Jiaqing Emperor must kill him, he still had a life-saving secret left to him by the Qianlong Emperor, but after Hezhen opened it, he was extremely happy and sad.
There were only three words on the secret instruction: "Leave the whole corpse", and He Yan was disheartened, he had thought that the Qianlong Emperor was his life preserver, and now it seems that the Qianlong Emperor had already guessed that sooner or later He Yan would be executed by the Jiaqing Emperor, and on the eighteenth day of the first month of the fourth year of Jiaqing, the Jiaqing Emperor originally wanted to execute He Yan Lingchi, and at the suggestion of Gu Lun and Princess Xiao and Liu Yong and others, this was changed to give to He Yan Bai Aya.
He Yan was able to tilt his power to the opposition, and even became the "second emperor", all of which were inseparable from the Qianlong Emperor, and the Qianlong Emperor believed that He Yan was loyal, talented, and moral, and that he had all three things to do, and that he was rich and prosperous depended on the Qianlong Emperor, and He Yan was naturally loyal to the Qianlong Emperor and helped the Qianlong Emperor to complete many things that were inconvenient for the Qianlong Emperor.
The Qianlong Emperor especially loved to listen to beautiful words, although the Qianlong Emperor passed the throne to his son Jiaqing, but still controlled the power and did not want to give up, at this time the Qianlong Emperor especially did not like to hear the words of opposition, and the hand of the Qianlong Emperor often made the Qianlong Emperor feel happy, and over time the two formed a tacit understanding, and he Yan knew more about the qianlong emperor's thoughts.
In the forty-ninth year of Qianlong (1784), there were four major forces in the imperial court, namely the military attaché faction headed by Ah Gui, the Yushi faction headed by Liu Yong, the opposition led by Qian Feng, and the corrupt officials headed by Hezhen, and Hezhen analyzed the situation, made the merchants submit to him, and offered him a lot of gold and silver treasures, and at the same time, Hezhen also cooperated with the criminal group to let the criminal group help him solve the merchants who did not want to submit.
There was a rich merchant in Zhejiang, zengshi, only because he refused to pay hezhen's help fee was wiped out overnight, the gold and silver treasure was looted, and afterwards it was announced to the outside world that it was the work of robbers and had been rehabilitated, and Hezhen thus gained a huge fortune, bearing the brunt of the four major forces, Qianlong fifty-five years, Hezhen also created a silver system for criminality, if officials commit crimes, as long as they can afford to pay money, they can be exempted.
These are all things that Jiaqing is very disgusted with, and what makes Jiaqing most taboo is that during the qianlong emperor's reign as emperor, the Jiaqing emperor had no real power and could not do anything, and he even had to be respectful and respectful to Hezhen, because he could always understand what the emperor was saying, and he made his own judgment, controlled the government, and became the veritable second emperor of the Qing Dynasty, which made the Jiaqing Emperor quite depressed.
Therefore, the Jiaqing Emperor had just captured Hezhen and was eager to execute Hezhen immediately, but finally chose to leave Hezhen a whole corpse.
