He was the first financial master of the Qing Dynasty, rich enough to rival the country, and his power was monstrous, he was a corrupt official and a big official.
And Yan overview diagram
He Yan was still immersed in the beautiful dream of the two dynasties' important subjects, but Qianlong had a hidden hand, and He Yan, who had been thriving in the wind and water, could not end well in the end, why Qianlong was quickly overthrown by the Jiaqing Emperor as soon as he died. Today I will tell you the wonderful story of corrupt officials and zhen.
In 1795, Qianlong decided to abdicate the throne, the most important minister of the Taishang Emperor Qianlong, --- Hezhen, also ushered in the most tense moment, the so-called emperor of a dynasty and a courtier, and He yan could not guarantee that his status would remain unchanged in the next emperor, at this time Qianlong was already an 85-year-old man, and how much time there was still heaven to decide, as for why Qianlong would take the throne, it was because he respected his imperial grandfather Kangxi very much, and he had said when he succeeded to the throne that if he could bless himself with a reign of 60 years, He personally gave the throne to the crown prince, and would not surpass the emperor's grandfather Kangxi.
Overview of The Kangxi Diagram
As early as 1773 AD, Qianlong had already established the candidate for the crown prince, which adopted the way of Yongzheng Li Chujun and wrote the name of the future crown prince in the jade box behind the Zhengda Guangming plaque. Qianlong had 17 princes in his lifetime, the crown prince will be born from it, four of the 17 crown princes are concubines, Qianlong is a long-lived emperor, reigned for a relatively long time, he looked up to the candidate for the crown prince, all died in front of him, the white-haired people sent black-haired people, the blow to Qianlong is not small, of which the fourth son of the emperor Yongcheng was passed on to the prince of Lu, and the sixth son of the emperor, Yong Yao, was inherited to the king of Shen County.
Overview of Qianlong
The scope of the crown prince's selection was narrowed down to five princes, namely the eighth son of the emperor, Yongxuan, the eleventh son of the emperor, the twelfth son of the emperor, Yongqi, the fifteenth son of the emperor, and the seventeenth son of the emperor, Yongxuan, and among these five princes, it was also excluded that the eighth son of the emperor, Yongxuan, suffered from foot diseases and did not have the possibility of inheriting the throne.
Now there are only four princes left, of which Yong Yao is the most talented, Qianlong is also very optimistic about him, but he has no intention of the throne, Yong Qi is also very good, but his birth mother is Uranara clan, because the birth mother broke her hair offended Qianlong, so Qianlong very much dislikes Yong Qi, the seventeenth son of the Emperor Yong Xuan is the youngest, can not inherit the unification, and finally only the fifteenth son of the Emperor Yong Yan, Yong Yan is very introverted, Qianlong is calculating in his heart, no one knows who he will choose, among the remaining princes, the ministers are optimistic about Yong Qi and Yong Yao.
Yong Yao
He Yan and the chancellor of the DPRK also had the same view, did not think about Yong Yan at all, think about it carefully, from the marriage arranged by Qianlong for several princes, you can see Qianlong's thoughts, he spent a lot of effort to arrange the marriage of the future prince, in the contrast between Yong Qi and Yong Yan, Yong Yan's marriage is not dominant, but no one can see Qianlong's mind. Yongyan, who was most unfavorable to Heyan, eventually became the prince.
Yongyan
He Yan and Yong Yan, although there was no direct conflict, but he offended Zhu Jue, Zhu Jue was Yong Yan's benefactor, he was a Qing official who did practical things for the people, and He Yan was a notorious corrupt official, the two were sworn enemies in the court, Yong Yan under the influence of his teacher Zhu Gui, he saw and remembered what He Yan did, and He Yan cast a net on the prince everywhere, but only the future prince was missed.
In 1795, the fifteenth son of the Emperor Yongyan was made crown prince, and also changed his name to Emperor Yan, the next year Emperor Yan succeeded to the throne, the era name was Jiaqing, it was really a few joys and sorrows, and he must have repented of his intestines, things had become a foregone conclusion, regret was too late, in order to have a good relationship with Emperor Jiaqing, he personally came to the door to report good news to Emperor Jiaqing, he did not like his Jiaqing Emperor, and saw that Heyan took the initiative to come to the door and did not embarrass him, but his attitude was lukewarm. He Yan was also very worried in his heart, how could he not have imagined that Qianlong would abdicate at the same time as announcing the crown prince.
Qianlong (Zhang Tielin)
But the overall situation has been decided, he can only gladly accept, after Qianlong abdicated, bad luck is like finding He Yan, bad luck ensued, 9 may be because He Yan was too greedy, the good luck was spent, the rest is all bad luck, to the Jiaqing year, He Yan's favorite son died prematurely, he was very sad, he did not calm the grief in his heart, his brother and Lin also died, which is simply a thunderbolt on a sunny day for He Yan, and Lin ke is a strong pillar in his officialdom, and later his grandson also died. The wife who had accompanied him for 30 years also left him, as if the heavens were telling Hezhen that your death date was coming.
He Lin (Ma Yuan)
He Yan also thought about resigning his official position and going into hiding, but Qianlong did not give him a chance, and He Yan could only continue to fight in the official field. Playing between the two emperors, although the Jiaqing Emperor sat on the throne, he did not have real power, but only the nominal emperor, and did not dare to deal with Hezhen for the time being. Qianlong sent people to stare at The Jiaqing Emperor's words and deeds, although there was dissatisfaction, but the Jiaqing Emperor did not dare to act rashly, he could only follow Qianlong disguised as a good emperor, after all, Qianlong was old, maybe one day he would die, first endure for a while.
He Yan's position in the dprk is still unstable, the real power is not in the hands of the Jiaqing Emperor, although he has more dissatisfaction with Hezhen, he does not dare to move the old father's people, he can only quietly wait for the opportunity, the old Qianlong abdicated to the Jiaqing Emperor to fulfill the promise he made, but he did not want to retreat from the whole body, did not want to hand over the power in his hands, the actual emperor of the Qing Dynasty is still Qianlong, the minister of the DPRK, must first Qianlong and then the Jiaqing Emperor, as long as anyone does not follow this unspoken rule, the big prison is beckoning to him, there is a Qing Dynasty minister Bi Yuan, who does not know the current affairs, When he wrote the book, he wrote the Jiajing Emperor in front of Qianlong, and finally met with the Big Prison, and Qianlong really did not give the Jiaqing Emperor any face.

He Yan seized on this point and picked up a big bargain in it, he seized Qianlong's mind and attacked the people around The Jiaqing Emperor, Zhu Jue was currently the only patron of the Jiaqing Emperor, and while currying favor with the Jiaqing Emperor and preventing him from planting his cronies in the middle of the dynasty, he used conspiracy tricks to frame Zhu Jue. He wanted to become the only one that the Jiaqing Emperor relied on, and He Jue always stared at Zhu Jue's dynamics, but there was no gain, one day, Zhu Jue wrote a letter to Qianlong congratulating the Jiaqing Emperor on the throne, and He Yan seized this matter and sued Zhu Jue in front of Qianlong, but there was no effect.
He Yan (Wang Gang)
He Yan did not die, and continued to stare at Zhu Jue's every move, the Emperor Did not pay off, and He Yan finally captured the Jiaqing Emperor and the teacher Zhu Gui to celebrate, because of Zhu Jue's promotion. He Yan ran to Qianlong again to play the situation, Zhu Jue was not as lucky as the last time, Qianlong thought that the Jiaqing Emperor had wooed the ministers of the DPRK. There were all ideas for abolishing the Jiaqing Emperor, fortunately, the chancellor of the DPRK advised Qianlong in time, and the Jiaqing Emperor escaped the disaster, and all the words and deeds of He yan were remembered by the Jiaqing Emperor, and the Jiajing Emperor in order to prevent He yan from always looking for trouble for him, he did the opposite, using the tactics of paralysis and yan.
Jiaqing Emperor (Xin Baiqing)
He told Manchu Wenwu that he was going to govern the country by Hezhen, and that all the important affairs of the court were entrusted to Hezhen, and Hezhen really believed the Jiaqing Emperor. Later, he did not find trouble for the Jiaqing Emperor again, and slowly immersed himself in the beautiful dream of the two dynasties' important ministers, He Yan was a well-known big corrupt official, and the Jiaqing Emperor was resentful and could not get rid of He Yan, but why would Qianlong allow a big corrupt official to run rampant in the court? What ecstasy did He Yan give Qianlong, and what kind of ecstasy was it that could be favored by Qianlong in the court and endure for a long time?
