Ice and snow net smart, thunder go elite. Since ancient times, smart people are not to say that they are very popular, but they can't afford to lose money anyway.
If it is a wise woman, it is to assist the husband internally, to serve the mother-in-law well, to sort out the financial affairs externally, and to be at ease; if it is a wise man, it is a double harvest of love and career, and the upper can please the king, and the lower can manage the subordinates.
However, no matter how smart people are, they may also be delayed by their own wisdom, isn't this a typical example of Hezhen?
He Yan was able to blend from a commoner to a pint of a big member, and he had been favored by Qianlong for so many years, and it was impossible to say that he was not smart. But it was such a wise man who was still given to death by Jiaqing. So why didn't such a clever Hezhen marry Jiaqing in advance to save his life?
Entanglement of grievances
This was the two people of He yan and the Jiaqing Emperor, one was the favorite of the Qianlong Emperor and had monopolized power; the other was the successor favored by the Qianlong Emperor, but the power in his hands was pitifully small. To say that these two people have no intersection at all, I am afraid that no one will believe it. Yes, these two people not only have intersections, but also have a lot of intersections, and they can rise to the level of entanglement of grievances.
I think that at that time, this Qianlong Emperor one day felt that he was old and had been the emperor for so many years, and this internal and external imperial court was already quite dissentful, so he planned to set a successor and set up this fifteenth prince Yongyan, that is, the later Jiaqing Emperor as the crown prince, and he himself would also abdicate.
But he listened to the qianlong emperor's words and beat a drum in his heart, he thought that if the Qianlong emperor abdicated, his safe haven would be gone, and there would be no favor, power, and wealth. So he hurriedly told Qianlong that the emperor would surely live long live, and don't panic about the Zen position. Qianlong thought about it, his body was tough, and he could indeed not panic, so he did not set the prince. Just because of He yan's words, Jia Qing was able to stay up for several years before becoming a prince, and this beam could not be concluded.
Jiaqing, who had endured for so long, could not easily become emperor, but the Qianlong Emperor, who was too old to see and hear clearly, refused to delegate power, and also let this Hezhen be his spokesman, and with the power of the Taishang Emperor, the power of Hezhen, who held several positions, was completely greater than Jiaqing.
Not only that, but he also used the power given to him by Qianlong to dutifully monitor Jiaqing, and had to report every small matter to Qianlong, causing Jiaqing to almost be punished by Qianlong Taishang. Under such circumstances, Jiaqing could not offend Hezhen at all, but should treat him well.
In this way, Jiaqing, the emperor, was really too depressed, and all of this was counted on hezhen's head. Since then, the beams between Jiaqing and Hezhen on the top of the court have become larger and larger. Therefore, as soon as the Qianlong Emperor died, Jiaqing, who had gained real power, very eagerly listed the charges of Hezhen and gave him death.
Outsmart oneself
Seeing this, everyone must be thinking, since He Yan could coax the Qianlong Emperor for so many years, why didn't he take care of it and tie up Jiaqing in advance in order to save his life?
In fact, He yan did not want to go to Jiaqing, but he was clever and was mistaken by cleverness, and it was self-defeating.
As The Qianlong Emperor's most favored minister, He Yan was honored to know that this person was the fifteenth prince Yongyan the day before the Qianlong Emperor was ready to announce the candidate for the crown prince. Adhering to the principle that he must first curry favor with and curry favor with the future crown prince in order to preserve his position, he rushed to tell Jiaqing, who was still the crown prince at the time. At this time, He yan had no idea that it was his move that gave him the most fatal blow in the future.
Jiaqing, who learned of this news, was superficially grateful to Hezhen, but the outsiders who thought in their hearts did not know. Smart as Hezhen, looking at this Jiaqing look, he knew that he did not have the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and could only think of another way. Therefore, in order to maintain his position, he repeatedly persuaded Qianlong to retain his own power, and this heirloom jade seal should not be handed over to Jiaqing for a short time, so that his own power would still be there.
Jiaqing, who knew these things, was almost mad, and coupled with the anger he himself had received in the court, Jiaqing wanted to kill Hezhen and then quickly imagine. Finally, the Qianlong Emperor died, and Jiaqing, who had been suppressed for so long, gained real power, and the first thing he had to do was to kill Hezhen.
He quickly listed the twenty counts of Hezhen, the most fatal of which was to spy on the Divine Will, to find out the candidate for the crown prince in advance, and to inform him of it.
The other sins did not matter, but this alone was already a great sin to destroy the Nine Tribes, so Hezhen was soon given death.
It can be seen from this that He yan did not curry favor with Jiaqing in advance, but he just did not succeed. Originally, the move to please Jiaqing was not successful, but He Yanwan did not expect to be used as a handle by this Jiaqing and became a sharp blade to kill himself. I have to say that the wise one's Hezhen is really smart but is mistaken by smart!
