Fifteen days after Qianlong's death, the Jiaqing Emperor gave himself the opportunity to commit suicide.
Speaking of Hezhen, everyone will think of Ji Xiaolan, the joy brought by the old rivals after being put on the screen by the director is far better than the open and secret struggle in the official arena.
Everyone will think of the property of this ancient tiger when it was raided, about 8 to 1.1 billion taels of silver, and the gold and silver owned plus other antiques and treasures exceeded the sum of the fifteen years of the Qing Dynasty's royal financial revenue.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is rich enough to be an enemy of the country.
For example, He Yan is a cultural person, rich that is also low-key luxury, he every day breakfast is ground with high-quality pearls into powder, there are special jewelry suppliers special for pearls, and another big figure in the Qing Dynasty Cixi Lafayette also takes pearl powder, but she eats it once every half a month, and Hezhen eats it every day.
He Yan is so rich, he is all hard-working, he is indeed a big corrupt official, this is also a skill, indicating that he mixed well, so people paid tribute to him.
In the end, how did He yan come out step by step, I believe it is worth learning from many people today, how to struggle in the city, how to counterattack from di si, and should learn to learn he yan.
01
Both parents died as children
It's all on your own
He is not a Han Chinese, he is a Manchu, so he does not have a surname, his real surname is Niu Cobalt Lu, which belongs to the big surname in the Manchus, and there are also many royals who are this surname, equivalent to the Han Liu, Wang, Li, Chen and so on.
He Yan and his brother studied at The Ham An Palace, a school with strict enrollment conditions and outstanding educational quality, which is what we call a famous school today.
Those who can enter this school are either rich or expensive, and they must all be flag bearers.
When he was about 10 years old, his parents died, so even though he may have been the son of an official eunuch, from the moment his parents died early, he had to rely on his own in the future.
The aristocratic school of Xian'an Palace is equivalent to today's famous school, where everything must be learned in literature, history and martial arts, but because there are many officials and eunuchs in it, there are naturally fewer people who work hard.
Many people did not have the discipline of their parents and went astray, and Washu and his brother were the kind of people who worked very hard in this school, so they quickly stood out.
Since childhood, He Yan has understood a truth very well, if you want to get ahead, you must work hard, and everything depends on yourself.
He yan learned all his homework very well, but his efforts were far more than that.
Tell a little story.
When he was still thirteen or fourteen years old, He Yan began to deliberately work hard to copy the emperor's handwriting, the purpose of this is very simple, if you enter the career in the future, you will definitely have to write a chapter fold, that is, some of our current work reports.
The leader sees not only the similarity in the handwriting, but also the good feelings, but also knows the heart of this person, a person with a heart, it is rare to have a heart in this world!
A teenager has such a mind and the city government is somewhat frightening, but it can also show that Hezhen really worked hard enough to do everything he could to improve himself and cater to the world.
After his teacher at the time, Wu Shenglan, saw it, he felt that this teenager would be able to become a great instrument in the future, so he took good care of Hezhen.
It was this step-by-step effort and management that He yan met a nobleman, who was a shang shu yinglian at that time.
Yinglian heard that Xian'an Palace had a talent, and he wanted to test this person, he was Hezhen, indicating that he had a good relationship with the teacher, and it was easy to be recommended and packaged.
There is no doubt that after many years of calligraphy and font practice, and as soon as he shot it, he made this adult look at him, all of them were people who were mixed up in the official field, and their hearts were like spies, and Yinglian knew that this teenager had a promising future.
Later, Yinglian betrothed his granddaughter Xu to Hezhen.
A person can be poor, can be humble, or even low to the dirt, but must not give up on himself, every bit of your effort, every step you take, is for the future to have more opportunities and possibilities.
02
Failed the college entrance examination
A different path
He Yan may not have been an examination-type player, and he fell behind when he was 18 years old, which made him very decadent, and Yinglian recommended him to the palace as an errand boy and became Qianlong's third-class bodyguard.
I have to say that Yinglian is really a great nobleman on the road of Hezhen's life, but it is not so much that Yinglian has achieved him, but rather that Hezhen has created himself.
If you don't show enough potential, others won't invest more in you.
Facts proved that yinglian's investment was correct, and talents like He Yan were soon discovered around Qianlong.
Once, when Qianlong heard that the prisoner had escaped, he casually quoted the Analects to express his dissatisfaction with the work of the courtiers, and he immediately picked up a sentence and replied very much in line with Qianlong's wishes, which aroused Qianlong's interest in the guard next to him.
The chat found that this young man was full of economy, talked well, and his knowledge was not simple, and later he often chatted with He yan, and he yan quickly mentioned promotion.
Without a full stomach of dry goods, it is difficult to answer with Qianlong like a stream, and the answer is so satisfactory.
Even though we may be in a very ordinary position right now, as long as you can seize the opportunity to show yourself, you will be able to stand out.
In the TV series, what we see is a fat-headed, big-eared, always teased by Ji Xiaolan, in fact, Hezhen's knowledge is not much worse than Ji Xiaolan in college.
Tell us a case.
One day, Qianlong was reading Zhu Xi's annotated Mencius in the Yuanmingyuan, and because the characters were relatively small, Qianlong's eyes were difficult to see, so he asked He yan to turn on the lamp a little.
He Yan actually recited all the Zhu Xi annotations in the whole text of Mencius to Qianlong, changing from words to pronunciation, and the people who memorized it had a heart and were comfortable to hear.
Qianlong was very appreciative of Hezhen's knowledge, and specially ordered him to become an official, and officially embarked on a career path.
In life, you will experience all kinds of setbacks and tribulations, you will lose a lot of things, but there is one thing that will not leave you no matter how hard it is, that is, your ability.
03
Will be a human being
Do things seriously
He yan, who embarked on the career path, began to show his talents, not only personal knowledge, but also various tricks and means.
He Yan was a very optimistic person of Qianlong and a soldier personally ordered by Qianlong, so he attached great importance to his image and performance.
The newly become an official was very clean, and it was not that he did not want to be greedy, but he knew that it was not the right time, and he needed to be really strong and have a solid foundation.
At that time, he took Qianlong's will to investigate and deal with a corrupt official, the feudal governor Li Shuyao, Who often paid tribute to rare treasures, and Qianlong asked He yan to do it, and the intention was already understood by Hezhen.
After collecting all kinds of evidence, He Yan took Down Li Shiyao and copied his family property, which was done beautifully and very happily.
When everyone suggested that Li Shuyao be strictly punished, He Yan again suggested to Qianlong that the sentence be suspended.
As a result, Qianlong really did not kill him, and Li Shiyao was reactivated the following year, and came out as an official again, and he regarded Hezhen as a great benefactor, and naturally he was indispensable when he paid tribute from then on.
Another time, Qianlong had a favorite concubine who was very arrogant and often beat up palace people for small things, and Qianlong was very angry when he found out, and wanted to abolish the name of concubine.
He Yan was very good at reading Qianlong's thoughts, he knew that Qianlong was only angry, and he was also acting like a model, so he interceded for Concubine Huan.
He said that Princess Ten, the daughter of Concubine Huan, was still young and needed to be taken care of by her mother, so her reputation would not be abolished, so let her be demoted, and Qianlong thought of adopting this suggestion.
Later, Princess Huan was favored by Qianlong, and she suggested that her daughter Princess Ten be married to Fengsheng Yinde, the son of Hezhen.
Step by step, he laid the groundwork and management, making him instantly change from a minister to a relative of the emperor and a relative of the state.
He Yan not only played these people's sophistication, his work ability was equally outstanding, and he was a rare capable courtier, which was also a big reason why he could gain Qianlong's trust for a long time.
In fact, there was not much work in fighting wars in the Yongzheng period, but there were still many people in the Eight Banners who hoped to make battle merits on horseback, seek meritorious fame, and read books was not taken seriously at all.
When he was a teenager, he was willing to work hard and learn everything, and his literary talent was naturally very powerful, even among the Hanchen who ruled well with culture, Hezhen could also crush many people.
Repairing the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book", He Yan was the last chief compiler, and the "Dream of the Red Chamber" was called "Stone Record" before it was a forbidden book at that time, and it was also He Yan who made a lot of efforts to promote Gao Yan's completion of the manuscript.
Another time, the Tibetan trumpet writer Qianlong wrote a letter, but no one understood Tibetan, Qianlong urgently summoned and Yan to translate, and asked him to build a trumpet temple for the sixth Dalai Lama at the summer resort in Chengde.
No matter what Qianlong confessed, He Yan could complete the task very well, and he could figure out the leader's thoughts and let his face be in it.

So why has Qianlong not been able to do Hezhen, this is the reason, you said that Hezhen embezzled so much, Qianlong did not know?
He knew, but he was surrounded by such people who could not only do practical things, but also know his intentions and make him happy, and he was still a flag man, not a Han person.
Throughout his life, you will lament that such a person who has come up step by step from the bottom, his efforts, his persistence, and some of his philosophies in the workplace are all worth learning.
