The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
He Yan was one of the most famous corrupt officials in history, and under the protection of Qianlong, he was unscrupulous and plundered endless family wealth. When Qianlong was alive, He Yan had run into trouble several times and made many big mistakes, but the emperor favored this shrewd guy who was "full of fat brains" and never convicted him. After Jiaqing ascended the throne, he set his sights on the adults who had long been unpleasant, and painstakingly searched for the guilt and destroyed them.
The turning point in He yan's fate was to marry the granddaughter of Feng Yinglian, the viceroy of Zhili, and then with the promotion of his wife's family and his own efforts, He Yan began to exert his strength in his career, and although he was talented, he ended in several scientific expeditions, and finally he could only inherit the third-class light car lieutenant as a clerk, Qianlong thirty-seven years, and He Yan was awarded the third class bodyguard, in 1773 AD, a chance, He Yan showed his talent in front of the Qianlong Emperor, which made the Qianlong Emperor quite appreciate. So he was selected to be an attendant of the Qianlong Emperor's honor guard, and the fate of Hezhen also changed from this moment, at this time, Hezhen was only 23 years old, and soon after, Hezhen was promoted to the position of Minister of Treasury, managing Buku, from this job, Hezhen learned how to manage money, which was of great significance to Hezhen's later life. Due to his outstanding political achievements, only two years later, Hezhen was promoted to imperial bodyguard and appointed deputy governor of Manchuria under the Zhenglan Banner.
During his tenure, he did not plot to kill Zhongliang cholera like other traitors, which can also be regarded as conscientious work. Even more so, he is just a corrupt criminal, and he has no means to play a role in exalting the lord and supporting the army to rebel. Even with Jiaqing's personality, how could someone who was indecisive, benevolent, and a little cowardly be so impatient with Hezhen? In fact, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu was already dissatisfied with Hezhen, but because Qianlong's favor was not able to pull Hezhen, Qianlong had just died, and Jiaqing ascended the throne and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government jointly impeached Hezhen, and during the period of national mourning, they were not allowed to handle government affairs, but Jiaqing violated the ancestral system, and in a very short period of time, he grasped all kinds of criminal evidence of Hezhen, and Heyan knew that he would not be able to escape death, so he committed suicide with the white aya given by Jiaqing.
As early as the Qianlong administration, He yan's unscrupulous act of looting had already aroused the dissatisfaction of the Manchu Dynasty's wenwu, so some people stood up and exposed the accusation. During the Qianlong period, Cao Xibao, the imperial historian, found that the house of the servants in the family of the adults was quite luxurious, far exceeding the standards stipulated by the imperial court, so he wrote to Qianlong to request that he be severely punished, and Cao Xibao's practice was actually to overthrow Hezhen in disguise, not to go through with the servants in the family of the adults. Unfortunately, Cao Xibao did not have much eyesight, and he misestimated he's influence in the official arena and his status in the eyes of the Heavenly Son. In the end, in the absence of conclusive evidence, Washu was not convicted, and the rest of the officials also figured out from this incident that Washu's unshakable position in the imperial court, after that, no one dared to act rashly.
After killing Hezhen, Jiaqing was very happy, and thought that after removing this hidden danger, his dragon chair would sit more steadily, but it was not long before Jiaqing began to regret it. It turned out that in the documents played by the ministers who wanted to overthrow Hezhen at that time, they were basically saying that Hezhen had ill intentions and attempted to usurp the throne, and there were not many cases of participating in hezhen's corruption and perverting the law.
Because after Hezhen's death, a sentence from the chancellor Wu Xiongguang made Emperor Jiaqing understand: "Hezhen has no intention of rebellion, because Hezhen did not form a party, and the interpersonal relations in the DPRK were relatively poor, if he really wanted to rebel, why not win the hearts of the people first", Jiaqing woke up after listening to it, he should not be so anxious to dispose of Hezhen, some people said that Hezhen's property was secretly transferred, and some people thought that Hezhen was just a means for the Qianlong Emperor to accumulate wealth.
It is said that Jiaqing planned to kill Hezhen before he became emperor, and sooner or later Hezhen would be killed. In the final analysis, Jiaqing trusted the documents reported by the ministers too much. It is often said that the treasure house that Qianlong left to his descendants was Hezhen, who was only a treasure of the Qianlong Emperor, and finally the Jiaqing Emperor copied out real gold and silver worth more than 800 million taels from the Hejia family, which was dozens of times more than the money in the treasury. It should be known that when Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, the national treasury was only 8 million taels, and he painstakingly managed the savings of 60 million taels left to his son for 13 years, and when Qianlong died, the treasury was almost in deficit, if it were not for the continuation of hezhen's family foundation, I don't know how to maintain the Jiangshan of the Qing Dynasty at that time.
Well, today's sharing ends here, and we'll see you next time
