As a red man and Kun around the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he was not famous for his political achievements, but went out of the circle with corruption and became a major sinner in history. During the Qianlong period, Hekun could be said to be above ten thousand people under one person, and participated in almost all the affairs under Qianlong. In the fourth year of Jiaqing, that is, in just fifteen days after the death of the Qianlong Emperor, Hekun was given death by the Jiaqing Emperor, from a generation of magnates to prisoners to be given death, and a generation of corrupt officials quietly disappeared in the long river of history. Why did the Jiaqing Emperor rush to get rid of Hekun as soon as he ascended to the throne?
I was unhappy in my heart and waited for the opportunity
Hekun is a very arrogant person, why do you say that? Because when Qianlong was still alive, Hekun had done a lot of things to anger Jiaqing, and with the support of the old emperor, Hekun put his eyes on the top of his head and tried to suppress the new emperor, but he did not expect that the new emperor would also have a day of power, and this threat would lose his life. He Kun had been in the official field for a long time, and he knew very well that the Qianlong Emperor did not have much time, and it was only a matter of time before the dynasty changed, and in order to protect the wealth and wealth for a long time, He Kun tried his best to suppress the new emperor. When Jiaqing ascended to the throne, the old emperor was still alive, and the real power was still in the hands of Qianlong, so Jiaqing was often called a "false emperor", so Jiaqing had been working very hard to form his own team, and the most helpful thing was his mentor Zhu Jue, Jiaqing wanted to transfer him back, but Hekun did not want Zhu Jue to enter the dynasty to share his own share, so in front of the Qianlong Emperor, he vigorously slandered Zhu Jue, and did not hesitate to use words such as usurping power to describe Jiaqing's transfer to Zhu Jue, Qianlong has always been more sensitive to political vocabulary, so he demoted Zhu Jue This is the complete offense of Jiaqing.
Although Jiaqing hated Hekun, he had not acted much, and on the surface he was still very polite to Hekun, because he knew that the time was not yet ripe. As Qianlong's health deteriorated, Hekun almost seized monopoly power and became the actual decision-maker, arrogant and arrogant, and did not pay attention to Jiaqing at all, not only that, Hekun also sent spies to monitor the new emperor, Jiaqing has been watching coldly, but secretly waiting. Finally, after Qianlong's death, the time came, and Kun did not have the support of the old emperor, Jiaqing killed him as simple as pinching an ant, not to mention that Jiaqing already hated Hekun to the bone, and it was not surprising that he was in a hurry to get rid of Hekun as soon as he took the throne.
Hekun wanted to monopolize power and directly threatened Jiaqing
Hekun was awarded the title of Baron of the First Rank because of the rebellion, and at this point, he became one of the four major forces in the dynasty, but greedy as Hekun, he was not satisfied with what he had already received, and continued to extend his hand to the merchants and criminal groups, coercing the merchants to obey his orders, and using the criminal groups to "train" disobedient merchants. In 1788, Hekun was made a third-class loyal xiangbo, and at this time, Hekun had gradually taken over the hostile forces and monopolized power in korea, with henchmen all over the country. It is not difficult to imagine that during the Qianlong period, Hekun's power was really great, and there were almost no hostile forces in the DPRK, and Jiaqing, who was about to come to power at this time, was very dangerous, because if he did not do well, he would be usurped and staged a drama of Sima Yi usurping power and seizing the throne. In order to defend his rights and consolidate his position, Jiaqing must get rid of Hekun as soon as possible, as the Jiaqing Emperor himself said: "If you do not get rid of Hekun, the people of the world only know that there is Hekun, but do not know that there is a Kun." "As a generation of emperors, how can they keep people who threaten their position, so it is inevitable to get rid of Hekun."
Open the vault of Hekun
As the biggest corrupt official in history, Hekun naturally did not waste his name, because he was really greedy to the point of being rich and invincible. When Hekun was raided, it was said that the wealth he had copied could be converted into 800 million to 1.1 billion taels of silver, which was almost the top of the national treasury income of the fifteen years of the Qing Dynasty. Although the Qianlong period was a prosperous period, natural disasters were never broken. In the summer of the first year, there was a famine in Haiyang, and from three to eight years, natural disasters continued in Pingyang, Qinzhou and other places. At that time, HeKun was responsible for opening a warehouse for disaster relief, as a greedy little person, of course, he would not honestly provide disaster relief, and In order to make his greed reasonable, he did not hesitate to use the guise of identifying true and false victims to add wheat bran to the porridge of disaster relief, and the grain was greedy little by little, which can be described as extremely mad. During the Qianlong period, because almost every year was allocating funds for disaster relief, the national treasury had long been overwhelmed, and by the time Jiaqing came to power, the national treasury was almost empty. Jiaqing knows that Hekun has been greedy, and he also knows that Hekun is very rich, but Hekun naturally will not hand over the money he has worked so hard to get to the state, so only by killing Hekun can he open Hekun's vault and fill the treasury. With money, Jiaqing can benefit the people, accumulate its own prestige, establish its own image, and benefit its own ruling work. This is the origin of Hekun falling and feeding Jiaqing.
In short, killing Hekun is beneficial and harmless to Jiaqing, both revenge and threat, Jiaqing is not stupid, thieves like Hekun, staying one more day is more dangerous, so after taking the throne, it is not surprising to rush to get rid of Hekun.
