History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
After the Qianlong Emperor Xianyou, his son Jiaqing became the next emperor, and the next day after taking office, he issued a holy decree to investigate and deal with his father's favorite minister and Yan, and it was actually expected that he would be raided, but what did not make people think was that he actually turned over more than 800 million taels of real gold and silver in his home, and for a time the capital was full of storms, and the Jiaqing Emperor ordered the investigation and handling of Hezhen's important crimes, and put Hezhen in prison, and finally a generation of giant greed committed suicide in prison at the age of 50.
The story of He Yan must be clear to many people, as a historical giant greed in the ancient and modern times, He Yan has been taking bribes during his time as an official, and when the Qianlong Emperor went down to Jiangnan many times to play, in fact, the national treasury could not support such a costly face project, and it was all handled by He Yan.
In fact, He yan was still loyal to the Qianlong Emperor, but for future generations, he yan as a corrupt official has always been nailed to the pillar of shame, which is really intolerable to Jiaqing, who is known for his diligence and thrift, so the fall of hezhen is also reasonable.
It was no secret that the Jiaqing Emperor wanted to live with the Qianlong Emperor, and before the Qianlong Emperor traveled west with a crane, he had prayed to the Qianlong Emperor on the edge of his sickbed to avoid death, but fortunately the Qianlong Emperor, who had lost consciousness, did not make a wrong decision, which also made he have a deep fear of Jiaqing.
Especially after Jiaqing was recalled to the palace, He Yan was deeply worried about his situation, of course, this worry soon became a reality.
In addition, the fall of Hezhen was also related to another person, this person was the teacher of the Jiaqing Emperor at that time, Zhu Jue, Zhu Jue was a Han, but as a Han person, he climbed to the peak of power step by step with his own efforts, at the age of 45, he became the teacher of the crown prince, assisting the future heir of the empire Zhu Jue because of his special status, close relationship with the prince, coupled with his own very diligent, caused hezhen's jealousy, and slowly the contradictions were irreconcilable.
He Yan's jealousy accumulated day by day, and finally one day He Yan ran to the Qianlong Emperor to make a small report, knowing that now it is Jiaqing who is presiding over state affairs, and naturally he must face his own people, facing this person who only knows how to please his father, but has left the current emperor aside.
The anger in Jiaqing's heart had been accumulating, and he knew clearly that killing his father's beloved Hezhen was the best way to establish the majesty of the emperor himself, and Jiaqing waited for three years on the emperor's throne until Qianlong's death.
After Qianlong's death, the flame of Jiaqing's revenge rose again, and he ordered the rapid recovery of Zhu Jue, and the opportunity that the two had been waiting for for many years finally arrived.
When the trembling Zhu Jue appeared at the imperial court, He Jue was trembling, his face was like earth, knowing that he must be finished, Zhu Jue wrote impeachment, listing Hejue's major sins, and he who had unlimited scenery in the former dynasty finally fell.
Since ancient times, as a courtier, he did not have the right to fight with the emperor, and this victory not only belonged to Jiaqing, but also to Zhu Jue, an uncompromising and honest official.
Zhu Jue's life was dedicated to the imperial court, and unlike he's hundreds of millions of assets, Zhu Jue's family was very poor, there were no palanquins for travel, there were no servants in the family, and some were just a bed of worn-out quilts and countless broken books, which was still the case until his death, and the Jiaqing Emperor was deeply moved by this.
Zhu Jue was a legendary figure, who did not go downstairs for ten years when he was studying, did not marry a wife when he was nearly fifty years old, never mentioned money in his life, and was very clean, but he overthrew the biggest corrupt official and Yan.
During Jiajing's reign, he always promoted the style of frugality, starting from himself, it can be said that it is very contrary to Qianlong's pursuit of luxury, Jiaqing devoted himself to the state affairs, as the emperor's clothes sometimes had to be sewn and mended, his life was clean, and he became a famous diligent emperor in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and Zhu Jue was as diligent and thrifty as him, how could he not love him?
