Chapter 48 Chapter Four: The Mystery of the First Corruption in the Qing Dynasty

This section is about boss management, what does it mean?Because Emperor Qianlong is high above, and He Shen is below, he controls Qianlong above from the position below.In fact, as mentioned in the above section, the relationship between Qianlong and Heshen is a mystery, and this mystery not only confuses Chinese, but also Europeans. There is love between He Shen. This is not a French idea, it needs an explanation.Why is the relationship between Qianlong and Heshen so strong?You know, Qianlong married one of his daughters, Princess Gulun, to Heshen's son.And at any time, only He Shen can speak in front of Qianlong.The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all following the path of Heshen, why?No matter what you want to do, report it to the emperor, if you don't pay attention to a word, you will be executed; but He Shen is fine, he can pass on your request, and the emperor will not get angry.

For example, there is an old minister, Sun Shiyi, who was the chief general who led the troops when Qianlong conquered Annan. Tens of thousands of soldiers died in Annan, and Sun Shiyi ran back by himself.But he was not punished in any way, why?Because he has a good relationship with He Shen.And when Sun Shiyi was about to die, he had a wish, he wanted his family members to join the Manchurian nationality and convert to the flag nationality.But he didn't dare to make this request, because he might be killed if he raised it, because the dragon has reverse scales and the power of heaven is unpredictable.But Heshen was able to control Qianlong, so Sun Shiyi made this request through Heshen, and finally his wish was fulfilled satisfactorily.

One more thing, during the Qianlong period, Taiwan's heaven and earth would revolt.At that time, there was a general, Chai Daji, who guarded the empty city alone for many days. At that time, Chang Xing, the governor of Zhejiang, was sent to attack Taiwan, but Chang Xing didn't know how to fight or military.After he rushed to Taiwan with his troops, he lost several consecutive battles. At this time, Chang Xing realized that something was wrong, so he immediately gave He Shen a gift and asked He Shen to change him.As a result, when He Shen talked to Emperor Qianlong, he immediately moved from this dangerous position to the position of governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.Even if you lose a battle, you will be promoted, all based on He Shen's words!

In the official history and many notebook novels, one of the most frequently mentioned jokes is that a minister paid tribute to the emperor, and there was a string of exquisite Buddhist beads in it.When He Shen saw it, he asked to give him the beads, but the minister said no, it was for the emperor.But when they met the next day, the minister was taken aback. He found that He Shen was already wearing the string of beads.This shows that He Shen has conquered Qianlong. Why did Qianlong like him so much?There may be one person who knows this matter best, and he is Jiaqing, the next emperor of the empire.

Jiaqing was the son of Qianlong. At that time, Qianlong was very comfortable as emperor, so he said: If I can be the emperor for 60 years like my grandfather Kangxi, I will be satisfied. I now announce to you that if I really have been the emperor for 60 years, I will retire.It turned out that he really had been emperor for sixty years. After being the emperor for sixty years, he handed over the imperial power to his son, that is, the era of Jiaqing came.Of course, he had to get on the horse and send him off for a ride. Qianlong had the final say on major national affairs, and let Jiaqing handle minor matters.But in fact, Jiaqing didn't dare to deal with anything, because the power of the Supreme Emperor was too great, and at this time, Qianlong only cared about his own prestige, and didn't care about business.So who is running the affairs of the country?It is Heshen, so Heshen is known as the "Second Emperor".
