Let's not say the three words "sticky rod", we will know when we listen to its other names, and the sticky rod is also called "blood droplets". I believe that many people have been in contact with the weapon of "blood droplets", to put it bluntly, this organization is a type of Ming Dynasty Jinyi guard.
In fact, the sticky rod department was quite funny when it was first established, it was an organization that specialized in catching small insects: zhi, dragonflies, and so on.
However, due to the need to compete for the throne, the existence of this organization took a major turn, and when Yongzheng was still the Prince of Yong, he ordered the transformation of this organization into an assassin spy organization.
Through their training, the members of the Sticky Pole Department became good at stalking and spying on intelligence, and many were even trained to become assassins with high martial arts. In the process of later competing for the throne, the sticky rod of transformation helped Yongzheng a lot.
After the Yongzheng Emperor ascended to the throne, the imperial hall was still a miasma of black smoke and could not be stopped, and the competition for power did not stop.
While Yongzheng was dealing with state affairs, he also had to take a lot of time to deal with those restless brothers who always wanted to replace him, and at this time, the sticky pole still played a huge role, helping Yongzheng solve a lot of troubles, and it was also during this period that the sticky pole was officially renamed "sticky pole guard". At this time, the members of the Sticky Pole Department not only had the identity of the previous Yongzheng cronies, they had officially become the guards in the palace.
It was precisely because the members of the Sticky Pole Department became the guards in the palace, and they began to grasp real power in their hands, and their common job on weekdays was to go to the office or help Yongzheng run errands, and transmit some recitals or other things.
But whenever they see suspiciously identified individuals anywhere, they have the power to bring them to justice.
Of course, these people are not just ordinary people, even if they are many senior members of the DPRK and China, they also have the right to do this, which is similar to the Ming Emperor's right to "cut first and play later" to the Jinyi guards.
The members of the Sticky Pole Division also have a "transcendent law" feature, although this organization is ostensibly under the management of the Ministry of internal affairs, but these people are not held hostage by any internal affairs official, to put it bluntly, the words of the interior officials are completely unacceptable to them.
They only obeyed the Yongzheng Emperor's orders, and even the location of their office was specially approved by the Yongzheng Emperor. Once on a mission, the Yongzheng Emperor would not pass through any intermediaries and would give orders directly to the members of the Sticky Rod Division.
Such an organization can be said to make the corrupt officials in the DPRK and China live in terror all day long, and once they are topped by the people at the sticky pole, their consequences are unimaginable, which is also the most terrible place in the sticky pole.
After Yongzheng's death, the sticky rod remained.
During the reign of the Qianlong Emperor, He Yan was initially a member of the Sticky Pole Department, because he often accompanied the Qianlong Emperor, so that He Yan became more and more favored by the Qianlong Emperor.
After the Qianlong Emperor announced his abdication, the sticky pole was still an important weapon in his hands, and at this time, Hezhen not only held the status of military minister, but Qianlong also let him manage the sticky pole at the same time.
He Yan used the sticky rod to collect all kinds of information, intelligence, and materials that were invisible, including those related to the Jiaqing Emperor.
The Jiaqing Emperor must have known about these circumstances, but unfortunately Qianlong was still alive at that time, and he could not do anything with Hezhen.
Finally, the Qianlong Emperor died, and Hezhen was given death by the Jiaqing Emperor, and the sticky pole was abolished because it had previously become a thief's den of Hezhen.
