He Yan is one of the most famous corrupt officials in the history of our country, and he takes advantage of his position to eat and take cards or small things, exclude dissidents, and mutilate loyalty. However, he was also particularly good at patting his ass, and his ability to do things was not bad, and he was very well loved by Qianlong, although he was the elder of the Three Dynasties in the court, he could not do anything with him. Qianlong was very fond of Hezhen, and before he died, he also told Jiaqing not to abandon Hezhen.
However, Jiaqing was also the crown prince for many years, and when Qianlong was the emperor of Taishang, he also became the emperor for many years, and he had long been unaccustomed to what Hezhen had done, but although Qianlong was the emperor of Taishang, he was still in charge of real power, and he did not dare to show his own thoughts. Fifteen days after Qianlong's death, he gave Hezhen to commit suicide, and then raided the home of this corrupt official.
At that time, hezhen's home was second only to the imperial palace, and until now it still stands quietly on Liuyin Street in The Xicheng District of Beijing, but now this place is not named after Hezhen, but is called Gongwangfu. The area of Prince Gong's mansion reached 61,120 square meters, and the construction of such a large mansion in the capital at that time can only be said to be monstrous. There are more than 30 buildings of various types in the palace, as well as various classical gardens and towering trees, and it can be said that it has nothing to do with comparing it to the royal palace.
Jiaqing sent people to raid He yan's home, as soon as they opened the door, they were stunned, they found that the He Yan family was also too rich, all kinds of utensils inlaid with gold, silver inlaid with silver, jade inlaid jade, although it is a royal palace, it is difficult to achieve such luxury. This was only their first impression, and when they actually went to check it, it was a real surprise, and the silver found from the Hezhen Mansion alone was 800 million taels. At that time, the annual revenue of the Qing Dynasty was only 70 million taels of silver.
There are also gold, jewelry, and various industries under the name of Washun, and there are countless of them, and if these are counted, then the property of Washu may reach an astronomical amount. Seeing such a result, Jiaqing was very angry, even the Great Qing Kingdom was not so rich as Hezhen, you say Jiaqing is angry or not? And where did all this money come from? It was nothing more than a people's cream that was corrupt and oppressive, and when he thought of it, Jiaqing was very angry at this mansion, and even wanted to destroy it.
But when he found another item, he didn't dare to move, what was it?
It turned out that the people who raided the Mansion of Hezhen actually found the long-lost national treasure of the Qing Dynasty "Fu" in hezhen's home. The legend of this "Fu" character is that the former Xuan Ye saw that Xiaozhuang was sick, and Xuan Ye, as a grandson, had no way, so he bathed and fasted for three days, wrote a "Fu" character to his grandmother Xiaozhuang, and xiaozhuang's illness that the imperial doctor could not cure suddenly improved.
It is precisely because of such a legendary story that this "Fu" character has become the most important national treasure of the Qing Dynasty. However, during the Qianlong period, the word "Fu" of this national treasure level actually disappeared, and the palace eunuchs at that time panicked and did not look for it everywhere, and finally many people lost their lives because of it. Unexpectedly, this "Fu" word was actually stolen out by Hezhen using his position! Thinking of this, Jiaqing was furious and wanted to take back the word "Fu". However, the ministers quickly dissuaded him: "This blessing word cannot be obtained!" ”
It turned out that after Hezhen stole this blessing word, he had already thought that there might be today. So he asked the feng shui master to give him advice so that he could possess the first blessing of the Qing Dynasty forever. Feng shui experts asked him to build 9,999 bats in his mansion, and then carved Kangxi's "Fu" into stone tablets and put them together, alluding to "Wanfu". At the same time, the feng shui master also asked Hezhen to connect this "Fu" monument with the local dragon vein, and moved the "Fu" character, that is, to move the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, jiaqing, who was very superstitious, did not dare to move this "fu" word again, and he did not dare to damage the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty. In a fit of rage, he ordered that all of this piece be sealed off and no one allowed to enter. The back of this mansion was changed to Prince Gong's Mansion, but this place where the word "Fu" was hidden, but no one ever dared to enter it, and it was not until 1962 that new China discovered the word "Fu". Now, the Kangxi-written "Fu" character still stands quietly in the GongWang Mansion, waiting for one tourist after another to visit.
