After Yongzheng's death on August 22, 1313, Qianlong ascended the throne as the new leader of the state. Qianlong, who had just ascended to the throne, wanted to show his fists, and he believed that the six Shangshu must all be ministers with both moral integrity and ability to take on the role, and then said that the Bingbu Shangshu Gao had a perverse personality and took revenge for personal gain, how could such a bad person be able to set an example and delay official affairs, so he let Gao Qi rise from the position of the boss of the military department.
And Qianlong's accusations were not nonsense, and Gao Qi had previously built a big prison because he was constantly coveting their property. Huang Bing, the former attendant of the Criminal Investigation Department, was not only conscientious but also very talented, and handled many major cases. Gao Qi not only couldn't see his talent, but he was interested in his house wealth, so he planned a frame-up case.
The imperial court stipulated that civil servants should truthfully register their real estate, and Gao Qi took advantage of this provision to do everything possible to make Huang Bing's family property into hidden property during the inventory and registration, so that he could be sentenced more smoothly. However, this plan was obviously a failure, and in any case, Huang Bing's unreported property could not be found, so Huang Bing and his family were severely tortured, so no evidence could be found, and no one said that Huang Bing had hidden family property.
And the reason why he was so desperate to frame Huang Bing was simply because he wanted to buy Huang Bing's house at a low price and was refused.
Later, Gao Qi also made a vain contribution to the flag man Xiangtai, saying that Xiangtai had sold the official property and embezzled two silver, but there was no evidence, and there was no progress in extorting Xiangtai's words and deeds.
Such two serious crimes stunned the ministers in the capital, and the impact was very bad for a while.
Therefore, Qianlong ordered an investigation of Gao Qi, and then through the chiefs of the Punishment Department, the University Scholar, the Official Department, the Hubu Ministry, the Ceremonial Department, the Bingbu Department, the Duchayuan, the Dali Temple, and the Tongzheng Yuan, Gao Qi confessed to what he had done before. According to the law, he should be sentenced to be beheaded and sentenced to death after the autumn.
Qianlong agreed to this punishment and said that it would be carried out according to the judgment.
