Just as the so-called 'one dynasty and one courtier'", in ancient China, after ascending the throne, the new emperors often used to have high authority in the old ministers during the previous emperor period so that they were not conducive to rule, or simply looked at the unpleasant ministers to clean up, and instead appointed their trusted courtiers to complete the blood exchange, thus consolidating their rule. Even if they were not cleaned up, the ministers of the previous emperor were often abandoned and disliked by the new monarch because of their advanced age, and finally they either returned to their hometowns, or were degraded and killed.
For example, after the Jiaqing Emperor of the Qing Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he hated the two important courtiers who were favored during the Qianlong Dynasty, and Hezhen, who is known today for his classic role in film and television dramas, is one of them.
During the Qianlong period, he was also the chief scholar of the cabinet, the foreman of the military aircraft minister, and dozens of other important positions, and even when the Qianlong Emperor was seriously ill in his later years, he was able to convey the government orders on his behalf, but he was beheaded after the Jiaqing Emperor took control of the government for more than ten days, which shows how much the Jiaqing Emperor hated him. Then, in addition to Hezhen, who was the other Qianlong Dynasty official who was hated by the Jiaqing Emperor? The answer is Fukang'an.
In the nineteenth year of Qianlong (1754), Fu Kang'an was born in the house given by the Qianlong Emperor in Dong'anmen, Beijing. The owner of this house was none other than Fu Cha Fu Heng, who had just recently been awarded the title of First Rank Loyal Duke after his great service in the Battle of Jinchuan. The Fucha clan came from the yellow banner, and had been a famous Manchu general for generations, and FuKang'an's great-grandfather Mi Sihan made meritorious contributions to the pacification of San Francisco, and his son Li Rongbao was made the governor of Chahar, and fu Heng was given special favors by the Qianlong Emperor.
As the brother-in-law of the Qianlong Emperor, Fu Heng started as a bodyguard of Lan Ling, and later commanded the Battle of Jinchuan, pacified Dzungar, and supervised the Battle of Qingma, and finally died of illness due to overwork. In recognition of Fu Heng's contributions, the Qianlong Emperor awarded him the first rank of Zhongyong Duke, the foreman of military aircraft, the crown prince Taibao, the scholar of Baohedian University, and other officials, ranking him first among the heroes of the Purple Light Pavilion, and various rewards were countless.
However, if you compare Fu Heng with his son Fu Kang'an, it can be called a small witch.
As mentioned above, Fu Heng was the younger brother of the Qianlong Emperor, so Fu Kang'an was naturally her nephew. For this nephew, Empress Fucha and the Qianlong Emperor were very fond of him, and from an early age they let him grow up in the palace, and the latter personally taught him knowledge. According to the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", in the thirty-second year of Qianlong (1767), Fu Kang'an, who had just turned thirteen, was "awarded the third class bodyguard with the rank of lieutenant of yunqi", and three years later, he was promoted to a first-class bodyguard. In this way, at the age of eighteen, Fu Kang'an had already become an official of the Hubu Shilang and the deputy governor of Manchuria with the yellow flag.
In the thirty-eighth year of Qianlong (1773), Fukang An was ordered to rush to Garla Mountain, assisting the general Ah Gui in participating in the pacification of the Jinchuan War, and had a very good performance. Three years later, the great and small Jinchuan were pacified, and Fukang An was awarded the title of Third Class Jia Yong Male for his merits, and the Qianlong Emperor, who was increasingly fond of this nephew, not only added him to the rank of knight, but also rewarded him with a symbolic twinkle in his eyes and allowed him to ride a horse in the Forbidden City.
In the following years, Fukang'an moved to Jilin, Shengjing, Yungui, and Sichuan, holding many important positions.
After the suppression of the "bandits" in Sichuan, Fu Kang'an, whose military talent was recognized, was urgently transferred to Gansu to quell the Sala people's rebellion and appease the Hui people, and he set off for Taiwan again to suppress the Lin Shuangwen uprising against the Qing Dynasty and the Restoration of the Ming Dynasty. In the fifty-third year of Qianlong (1788), FuKang'an successfully captured the rebel leader Lin Shuangwen, but because of his behavior in the war to shield his relative Hengrui, the Qianlong Emperor did not reward him.
The following year, Fu Kang'an was transferred to the post of Governor of Liangguang, but in July of that year, Hubei was impeached for smuggling Li Tianpei's official ship, and Fu Kang'an had asked him for a purchase, so he was also punished and dismissed from his post, but after all, the Qianlong Emperor still favored him, and soon after he was relieved of his guilt. Not long after staying in the Liangguang region, Fukang'an went to drive him away when the small country of Gorkha invaded the Tibetan border. Facing many big scenes, Fukang'an took only two months to recover the lost territory and attacked the territory of Gorkha, forcing the other side to surrender in a hurry.
Fukang'an drove away the invaders, and was not only made a scholar of wuyingdian university and a loyal and courageous prince by the Qianlong Emperor, but also became a national hero of our Chinese nation. In the first year of Jiaqing (1796), because of a long-term trek to march and handle military and political affairs, Fukang An became ill and died in the army. In order to express his condolences to FuKang'an, the Qianlong Emperor crowned him the King of Jiayong County, and deserved to enjoy the Taimiao Temple. However, the Jiaqing Emperor did not love FuKang'an as much as his father, and when he really came to power, he reprimanded him many times.
In this regard, the Draft History of the Qing Dynasty records: "Fukang'an was favored by Emperor Gaozong and had meritorious service. In the military, there are luxuries, and the gold coins of the army are huge, and the officials who administer the salary and salary mean that the abuse is even worse. Since Emperor Renzong was pro-government, he repeatedly commanded the generals not to indiscriminately reward them, but to rebuke Them for their well-being. That is to say, although he has made many military achievements, he has a luxurious style in the army, often rewarding the soldiers with tens of thousands of gold coins at every turn, resulting in many indiscriminate rewards.
The Jiaqing Emperor hated this deeply, so every time he talked about practicing frugality in the army and not wantonly rewarding, he would reprimand Fu Kang'an. In the author's opinion, the indiscriminate reward of Fukang An is indeed not worth encouraging, but his approach can make the soldiers use for themselves, fight more actively, and the guilt cannot be attributed to him.
