Li Wei and He Yan, both of whom were famous courtiers around the emperor during the Qing Dynasty. It should be known that the favored subjects around the emperor still have a certain influence on the Qing Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, which is why the kings of all generations will pay attention to the sages. So is it Li Weiguan da, or He Yanguan da?
Li Wei
Li Wei was a more famous minister during the Yongzheng period and was deeply loved by the Yongzheng Emperor. He was also born during the Kangxi Dynasty in a relatively wealthy family. Although the family is OK, but the family background has not affected his career, from a minor official in the Kangxi period to a famous minister next to Yongzheng, Li Wei has been wearing thorns all the way. From the Five Pins Wailang to the Imperial Court Yipin during the Yongzheng Period, his promotion speed was still very fast.
Among the officials during the Qing Dynasty, Li Wei had his own outstanding contributions. Because Li Wei was in charge of this aspect of salt administration, his long-term experience was able to exert his own methods in the investigation of smuggled salt, and he could also give advice and suggestions to the imperial court.
In the Qing Dynasty at that time, although it was divided into dozens of salt areas, the situation of selling illegal salt was frequent, and Li Wei was even more vigorous, resolutely cracking down, and cooperating with ministers from all walks of life to jointly win such a case. Because Li Wei's political achievements were gratifying and he was able to get the appreciation of his superiors, he was promoted to Erpin in that year and promoted to the great history of feudal territory, which can be said to be gratifying and congratulatory.
In addition to his meritorious efforts in arresting smuggled salt, Li Wei also built a sea pond. Regarding the dangerous terrain of the Qiantang River, Li Wei would play to the emperor every year. During the Yongzheng period, the emperor was dissatisfied with the minister's governance of the Qiantang River at that time, so he sent Li Wei to inspect it and adopted Li Wei's plan. In addition to these famous feats, he was also good at catching thieves and ensuring the peace of the people.
Li Wei's life went through three dynasties: Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong. He had also experienced ten years of rapid rise in official positions, and although he had experienced more dynasties, he could also enter the eyes of Yongzheng. When the emperor took the throne, he was promoted to sipin official. Of course, his final outcome was also OK, and he died of illness during the Qianlong period, and the Qianlong Emperor posthumously awarded him a posthumous title.
And Kan
He Yan was a famous favorite of the emperor during the Qianlong period, and whether he was a loyal minister or not? He was met with mixed reviews. In fact, for the Qianlong Emperor, He Yan was undoubtedly a loyal subject, but was he a loyal subject to the Qing Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, and to every citizen of the Qing Dynasty? The answer may be no. He Yan was able to become a heavy minister around the emperor, which was inseparable from his own opportunities, followed by the emperor's appreciation of him. His cleverness, decisiveness, and bravery have also put him in the position he is today.
You should know that he was not born very well, his mother died when he was a child, and then his father died. With his own ingenuity, he was promoted step by step from a Sanpin official to the last Yipin Minister. Of course, this has been going on for many years. At that time, he could be said to be red and purple around the emperor, and the Qianlong Emperor also transferred his official positions to help him gild and make him a person who could hold great power.
During the Qing Dynasty, Hezhen can be said to have been promoted to official positions year after year, enjoying unlimited scenery. The many official positions he held during his reign also had a certain influence on many aspects of diplomacy during the Qing Dynasty. Being in an important position and being able to have such an impact was rare during the Qing Dynasty.
At that time, the Qing Dynasty was not yet facing a closed country, and its strength was still relatively strong, plus Hezhen had a certain method, good at governance, and also good at scavenging, so it also accumulated a lot of wealth. But in his later years, He yan went downhill, squandered, and squandered the wealth he had accumulated. Probably out of greed, he could always do whatever it took to plunder wealth, and to the people he might be a traitor. Of course, he was able to achieve such a good development, which had a very significant effect on him in supporting his cronies and excluding dissidents.
Judging from his resume, his highest official position was that of a scholar of the Mandarin Temple and a minister of internal affairs, which belonged to Zheng Yipin. Li Wei's highest official position was bingbu shangshu, which belonged to Congyipin. Therefore, from the perspective of official positions, the official position of He yan is greater than that of Li Wei. But if we put aside our official positions and look at their many contributions to the Qing Dynasty, I think Li Wei's contribution is still very large, after all, he has some substantial contributions, and he has not committed corrupt acts to the people. And Hezhen, in a sense, as a traitor, also has a bad reputation in history.
No matter which dynasty in history, it needs capable ministers to assist the emperor in the administration of the dynasty, of course, these two people can leave their names in history, believing that they have their own contributions in both official positions and various aspects. Of course, I personally believe that history will give them the best answer.
