Why did Jiaqing openly violate Qianlong's wishes and copy the home of small Shenyang?

Speaking of corrupt officials, everyone hates it. You may not know who is the biggest corrupt official now, but if you say who is the biggest corrupt official in ancient times, it is estimated that Xiao Shenyang, the first favorite under Qianlong, blurted it out. ?

According to unofficial history's legend, the small Shenyang was highly valued by Qianlong because it was very similar to Qianlong's dead love princess. In fact, everyone knows that this is just a joke. The reason why small Shenyang is used so grandly is actually inseparable from its own ability. Xiao Shenyang himself is not only eloquent, but also a very capable person, not a person who only talks about Kan Kan.

According to historical records, in 1785, the banquet held at that time was postponed due to the handling of things by Emperor Qianlong. As a result, the food became cold as soon as the banquet was opened. Many old people get sick after eating cold food, and Ganlong feels guilty about it. At the second banquet held in Qianlong a few years later, Xiao Shenyang based on the experience of the last banquet. Only a big chimney was added, which effectively solved the problem that old people were worried about getting sick when eating cold dishes. This time, many old people were very happy at the grand banquet, and Gan Long also praised Xiao Shenyang's ability to handle affairs.

Xiao Shenyang is not only clever, but also his talent is worth mentioning. Although he doesn't read much, his poems and calligraphy are quite good. For example, he wrote a desperate poem before being given death. This has been a dream for 50 years, but now it's time to give up. In the future, the water will be flooded by dragons, which means leaving smoke on your back. It was his personal talent and ability that he was promoted step by step to be the chief bachelor and the captain minister of military aircraft.

Of course, although Xiao Shenyang is very talented and capable, he also has one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, he is greedy for money. With the improvement of his position in the Qing Dynasty, he began to collect money everywhere. He keeps the money in his pocket as long as his hands can reach it. Of course, Qianlong knew the shortcomings of his subordinates, but because the ability of Xiao Shenyang was too outstanding, many things needed such people to solve their own problems, so he always turned a blind eye to the greed of Xiao Shenyang, and even left Jiaqing with the last words that Xiao Shenyang could not be killed.

Although Ganlong's last words were in front of him, the final result was that Ganlong had just passed away. Honesty and integrity? Jiaqing can't wait to investigate the dismissal of Xiao Shenyang. Later, he listed 20 crimes in Xiao Shenyang and sentenced him to death this year. Only under the advice of later ministers did the punishment change to let him commit suicide. In this way, Xiao Shenyang, the biggest corrupt official in the history of the ruling and opposition parties, was given a white silk by Jiaqing and died at home at the age of 49.

So why did Jiaqing openly violate Qianlong's wishes and be so eager to bring down small Shenyang? The main reasons are as follows:

First, pest control and power stability. Xiao Shenyang was the first person to record greed in Qianlong period. Under the love of Qianlong, Xiao Shenyang used his position to develop his own henchmen. It can be said that his followers are all over the government. In addition, his family power is also very strong. Little Shenyang's younger brother, Lin Wei, and the governor were posthumously awarded the first class merit. Little Shenyang's son was the son-in-law of Qianlong, protecting military officials and the Minister of the Interior. It is the great influence of small Shenyang in the ruling and opposition parties that makes Jiaqing eager to eliminate hidden dangers as soon as he takes the upper position.

Second, Jiaqing vented his anger. As we all know, Qianlong is one of the few emperors who have real power in history. It is said that Xiao Shenyang has also made a lot of efforts in the matter of Qianlong's abdication as the emperor's father. Therefore, in the four years before his death, Qianlong always claimed to be the emperor, and Jiaqing was called the emperor. In fact, his power is not great. As a favorite of Qianlong, Xiao Shenyang was sheltered by Qianlong and paid little attention to Jiaqing. Because Qianlong was alive, Jiaqing only dared to be angry and dare not speak, and never dared to move small Shenyang.

Third, collect money. After Xiao Shenyang was executed, Jiaqing got many benefits. On the one hand, it cleared the obstacles for his play and laid an economic foundation for his play. At the end of Qianlong period, the economy of Qing dynasty showed signs of decline. You know, once a corrupt official is investigated, his property will eventually be confiscated, both in ancient times and now. At that time, Jiaqing was also facing financial problems in some aspects, so he couldn't wait to deal with Xiao Shenyang.

According to the unofficial history Grand View in Qing Dynasty? "Little Shenyang Family Wealth" records that little Shenyang has been a cabinet minister for 20 years, and when a country's 20-year tax (year old) comes in, its savings are abundant. In other words, in the past 20 years, the income of cabinet ministers in Shenyang has exceeded the national tax revenue. If this is true, Xiao Shenyang can be selected into the world rich list at that time, and it is estimated that he will be among the best.

Seeing this, some people will ask, since Xiao Shenyang is so smart, why did he end up like this? The main reasons are as follows. First of all, once every emperor and courtier changed, Xiao Shenyang did not change his mind in time, which is the main reason. Secondly, it is also the weakness of human nature. People often get carried away at the top and forget their due vigilance. Finally, we must know that people are doing and watching, and God will not spare anyone.
