The name Hezhen has always been synonymous with a corrupt official in our cognition, and it is true that the property he embezzled was as much as 800 million taels of silver, even more than the sum of the 15 years of fiscal revenue of the Qing Dynasty, at that time, the Qing Dynasty was in a period of national strength, and the fiscal income of more than ten years was not as good as the family wealth of Hezhen alone. This shows the sheer number of embezzlements. At that time, The emperor Qianlong was very fond of Hezhen, and it was also because Qianlong "turned a blind eye" to Hezhen's corruption, and Hezhen's boldness would become bigger and bigger, and his greed would increase more and more. People like He Yan, placed in the modern officialdom, are definitely a big "tiger".
Seeing this, many people may wonder what is so extraordinary about He Yan that makes the Qianlong Emperor turn a blind eye to his blatant acts of corruption? There are two things that others can't reach: one is good at sneaking and patting horses, and the other is decisive action. For "sneaking around the horse", many people may be very disdainful of this, but as long as it is an individual, they will not like ugly advice, let alone the emperor, every day there is a group of officials around him "loyal to the ear", he prefers that every day someone will say something to him that makes him happy, let him like it, if not, how can there be eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty? Even such a lowly eunuch could do what such a lowly eunuch could do at that time, how could such a wise Washu not be able to do it? In addition to this, He Yan himself was also a particularly excellent talent, he was proficient in four languages, the Four Books and Five Classics were even more important, He Yan was always able to handle the troubles encountered by Qianlong very well, and his contribution was much more than the mistakes he made, and it was precisely because of this that he was still very useful for Qianlong, so Qianlong did not want to execute him for a while.
Although He Yan was indeed very greedy for money, his loyalty to Qianlong was indeed a matter of truth, and his loyalty also made Qianlong reluctant to kill him. The tasks assigned by Qianlong to He yan can be completed very well, and such a hezhen is still very useful for Qianlong, if it is not necessary, Hezhen will always live under qianlong's protection.
He Yan has been appreciated by Qianlong since he was 23 years old, following him, for Qianlong, He Yan is also a very close courtier, he even married his favorite ten princesses to He Yan's son, so in the eyes of the world, He Yan is definitely Qianlong's favorite subject, and it is precisely because of this that he let Jiaqing kill He yan, and in addition, Jiaqing's ability is unable to suppress He Yan, so He Yan's death is also an ironclad matter.
After all, hezhen's corruption is already a well-known thing in the world, and Jiaqing also needs to win the hearts and minds of the people by dealing with Hezhen. Therefore, as soon as Qianlong left, Jiaqing hurriedly dealt with Hezhen. Rumor has it that Qianlong gave He Yan a life-saving tip, but when He Yan opened the bag, there were only three words in it: leave the whole body.
If what happened between He yan and Qianlong was applied to the love story, it would really be a story of sadistic love! Half a life of glory, and finally broken with a white aya. Imagine that before was dead, he held the white aya in both hands and muttered to himself: "Grandpa, you go slowly, the slave has come to you." If you shoot these stories and think about it, they are all going to go beyond the rhythm of "Yanxi Raiders".
