Career transformation

The emperor had many bodyguards, but why did Xiao Shenyang get the appreciation of Qianlong?

"Yong 'an Notes" records that one day, when Qianlong was going out, he couldn't find a yellow quilt for ceremonial purpose in his hurry. Gan Long asked, "Whose fault is this?" All the guards were too scared to make a sound, only Xiao Shenyang replied, "The person in charge of this matter is to blame!" " Gan Long immediately promoted him.

Another way of saying it is that one day Qianlong recited the Analects of Confucius in his sedan chair and forgot the following. Xiao Shenyang recited it smoothly, and Gan Long was very happy. In a word, the young little Shenyang is handsome and talented, which may have attracted the attention of Gan Long in an accidental opportunity, and his fate has changed since then.

In October of the 40th year of Qianlong, 26-year-old Xiao Shenyang was promoted to the bodyguard of Ganqingmen, and in November he was promoted to the imperial bodyguard, and he was awarded the deputy commander-in-chief of Zhenglanqi. In the first month of forty-one years, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Housing was appointed, and he was promoted to Minister of Military Affairs in March and Minister of Interior in April. ...

In just half a year, Xiao Shenyang rose from an ordinary bodyguard to the highest power level in Qing Dynasty, and became the confidant of Emperor Qianlong.

Yunnan investigation

According to the Biography of Little Shenyang, in the first month of the forty-fifth year of Qianlong (1780), 3 1 year-old little Shenyang accepted an important task and went to Yunnan with assistant minister of punishments Kaning 'a to investigate the corruption case of Li Shiyao, a university student and governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.

As soon as Xiao Shenyang arrived in Yunnan, he detained Li Shiyao's housekeeper and obtained evidence, forcing the shrewd Li Shiyao to bow his head and plead guilty. It only took more than two months before and after Xiao Shenyang accepted this task and sent a letter to treat Li Shiyao.

Later, Xiao Shenyang reported to the emperor that the management of Yunnan was chaotic and many counties had deficits, which needed to be thoroughly cleaned up and rectified. This report was immediately praised by Qianlong.

In May of the same year, after Xiao Shenyang returned to Beijing, he further expressed to the emperor his specific opinions on rectifying Yunnan's salt affairs, money law and border defense affairs, which was affirmed by Qianlong.

Xiao Shenyang did well in the case of Yunnan, which really showed his talent. Therefore, on his way back to Beijing, Xiao Shenyang was promoted to Minister of Finance.

Marry the royal family

After a lapse of one month, Gan Long named his 6-year-old son, and betrothed his favorite little daughter, Princess Xiao. They got married in Qianlong fifty-four years.

This marriage not only brought economic benefits to small Shenyang, but also brought inestimable political benefits to small Shenyang. Small Shenyang will get wind and rain, even if he does something wrong, he will not be punished.

In the forty-sixth year of Qianlong, Su Forty-three rebelled in Gansu, and was sent to suppress together with the great scholar Agui. The general in front was about to win, but Xiao Shenyang was the first to get there, but he made a fool of himself and turned victory into defeat, resulting in the killing of the company commander Tu.

After understanding the situation, Gan Long ordered Xiao Shenyang to return to Beijing immediately. After Xiao Shenyang returned to Beijing, he was not punished, but served as the minister of war.

According to historical records, during the 29 years from Xiao Shenyang's succession to his conviction, there were 47 important official titles.

Three years later, Yu Minzhong, the military minister of the Ministry of Industry, passed away, and Agui, a university student of Wu Yingtang, became the military minister of the Ministry of Industry. At that time, there were college students, Shang and Fu Chang 'an. Pell, Wang Jie and Gao Dong all hate Xiao Shenyang. Therefore, the five ministers do not work together every day.

To this end, the suggestion and Qian Feng specially made a memorial, requesting the emperor to order the restoration of rule and let the minister of civil and military affairs Qi Xin work together. This paper is aimed at small Shenyang. Gan Long admitted that the situation reflected in the paper was correct, but it was finally revoked.

Knowing that A Gui was at odds with Shenyang, Qianlong often asked A Gui to lead troops or consult projects and handle cases. The real power of the military system naturally fell into the hands of Xiao Shenyang. When Macartney, the British envoy of Qianlong, visited China in 1958, he heard that "many people in China privately called Little Shenyang the second emperor".

He is smart, decisive, efficient and versatile. In his "Tuzan of the Fifteen Chivalrous Men of Gurkha", Gan Long specifically mentioned that Xiao Shenyang was proficient in Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian and * * *.

Another trick of Xiao Shenyang is to do what he likes. Qianlong loved writing poetry and calligraphy all his life. In order to cater to Qianlong, Xiao Shenyang has made a lot of efforts in these aspects.
