We all know that He Yan was a great corrupt official during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and the number of people he embezzled was so huge that it was disgusting, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was rich enough to be an enemy of the country, and even said that it was less. Because of Hezhen's corruption, the Qing Dynasty began to decline after the prosperity of Kangqian, and its national strength gradually declined, and finally it was hanged by the great powers, and it had to cut the land to pay compensation, just like the butterfly effect. Historical records record that when the Jiaqing Emperor raided and inspected the Hezhen family, the gold and silver treasures collected were worth nearly one billion taels of silver, which was the financial income of the Qing Dynasty for ten years.
He Yan's life in his early years was very unsatisfactory, his parents died early, he was not welcomed by relatives, without the protection of his parents, his life was very difficult, he did not have enough to eat and wear, not to mention, he also suffered from the cold eyes of others, and was ridiculed by children of the same age. Even so, Hezhen did not give up on himself, but strengthened his determination to get ahead. He studied everywhere, was very diligent, and was very talented, not only familiar with all kinds of scriptures, but also mastered many languages, and eventually embarked on a career.
From the outset, Hezhen won the admiration of Theobu Shoshu at the time and married the granddaughter of a high-ranking official. Under such circumstances, Hezhen's career path is simply going up with the green light all the way. He Yan was accustomed to seeing people's feelings and sophisticated, good at guessing people's hearts, and coupled with the fact that people were people with real talent and practical learning, they soon became red people in front of Qianlong. Imagine what superior would hate a subordinate who is reliable and speaks well.
Hezhen's power grew stronger and stronger under this circumstance, and at this time, there were some changes in Hezhen, and the originally energetic Hezhen began to focus on pleasure, and he became sophisticated and sleek, regarding money as more important than anything else, and was corrupt. But because of his status, even if someone knows his handle, he can only dare to be angry and dare not speak. Qianlong was already greedy for pleasure, and in his later years he was gradually drifting away from the road of the Emperor, and he was the same as Hezhen Ben, and the so-called upper beam was not right and the lower beam was crooked, which was the case.
Of course, can Qianlong's horse ass be so easy to shoot? It's not clear how many he's going to get. After all, there is only one Hezhen, so what is his superiority? At this point, the changes in his childhood can be said to have helped him a lot, and the things he learned when he was down to see people's eyes should not be used too smoothly on Qianlong.
He and Qianlong are very temperamental, every time they pat the horse's ass, they can shoot just right, shoot Qianlong's heart, such a skill, except for Hezhen, there is really no one who can do it. Qianlong was made light by He Yan's ability to pat the horse, and simply turned a blind eye to the corruption of He Yan. In order to hide the fact of his corruption, he also invented a method called Ya Bribery.
Ya bribery this way is that the person who pays the bribe does not send money, only sends antique calligraphy and paintings, and after receiving the calligraphy and paintings, he makes a large number of counterfeits and puts them in the antique shop and sells them. Those who want to pay bribes can just go directly to antique shops and pay high prices for fakes. It is really admirable that god is unconscious, and it is said that this method is still used by people today.
