Chapter 150, the life of He Shen began (ask for subscription)

Ke Yao was invited by Lang Kun, he thought it was to give a lesson to the students and start a speech, but when he came to the scene and found that this was a brand new program called Kai Lecture, Ke Yao was also a little uncomfortable.

As soon as he stood on the stage, he was a little dazed, and Professor Ke Yao, who was at a loss, didn't speak, Jiang Yang walked up from the side and said softly: "Professor Ke Yao, I have read your book, and you have a book about historical figures that I like very much." Today, can you share with us a character from your book that can inspire us young people through the rise and fall of historical figures? ”

With Jiang Yang's entry, Mr. Ke Yao immediately became energetic, he talked about many historical figures in the university class, and the most representative and realistic significance, Ke Yao felt that He Shen was one.

He Shen's life can be said to be full of drama, from a not wealthy military attache family to be born, from a third-class light car lieutenant to the imperial guard, and then all the way up to the Minister of Military Aircraft, Minister of Internal Affairs, and finally reduced to a prisoner.

"Fifty years of fantasy dreams, now I am gone. These are two sentences in the poem of a generation of giant greed and Shen's clothes, which is that He Shen in prison reflects on his life before parting, from a guest to a prisoner, like a dream bubble.

Teacher Keyao wants to analyze through He Shen's life, how he got the emperor's favor, stepped up to the peak of power, and how he fell to the altar, what happened.

Hearing that Teacher Keyao was going to talk about Heshen, the big stone in Jiang Yang's heart was completely put down.

Regarding the history of the Qing Dynasty, Jiangyang does not say that it is easy to come by, but it can also be a treasure.

He Shen is a historical figure he has studied.

On this character, Jiang Yangneng had a discussion with Teacher Keyao.

"Teacher Keyao, the stage is handed over to you. About Heshen, I started talking. ”

"Okay, Jiang Yang. Professor Ke Yao took a step towards the audience, as if he was on his own university podium, and said in a familiar classroom voice: "The ancients said that the burning of profit is a fire pit, and greed and indulgence are the sea of suffering. But behind this word, in fact, there is something worth reflecting on. There are also many things worth learning from the character of He Shen. ”

"In today's class, we won't talk about Heshen's greed, through the interpretation of this character, let's find the shining point of Heshen's character. ”

He Shen was born in the fifteenth year of Qianlong, his father's name was Changbao, and he was the deputy capital of Fujian. His ancestor was a native of Qingyuan County, Liao Province, and entered the customs with the Qing Emperor in the early Qing Dynasty and lived in the donkey meat alley in Xizhimen. ”

This He Shen was born in a family of military attachΓ©s who were not wealthy, but he and his younger brother He Lin received a good education from an early age, and received education in Confucian classics and Manchu, Han, and Menggu characters when he was a teenager. He Shen is talented, diligent and hardworking, and has outstanding achievements, so he has been valued by his teacher Wu Xinglan and others. ”

"In the thirty-fourth year of Qianlong, the 20-year-old He Shen inherited the title of third-class lieutenant of the ancestral light car. In the second year, he participated in the Shuntianfu Imperial Examination Township Examination, but failed the examination. ”

In the thirty-seventh year of Qianlong, the 23-year-old He Kun was appointed as a third-class guard, which became an important turning point in his life. ”

"said that he became the guard of Lord Qianlong, why it became a turning point in his career, the reason is that He Shen is bold and careful. ”

"There are many guards of the emperor, and "Yong'an Notes" records: One day Qianlong was going out, and he couldn't find the yellow cover for the honor guard in a hurry, so Qianlong asked: "Whose fault is this?" All the guards were too frightened to speak, only He Shen responded: "It is difficult to escape the blame for this matter!"

"He Shen is bold, a little guard dares to say this, but Qianlong likes it, so he was immediately promoted. ”

Another day, Qianlong recited the "Analects" in the sedan chair, and suddenly forgot the following, and the intelligent He Shen recited it smoothly, and Qianlong was also very happy. ”

The young He Shen was handsome and chic, quite talented, he was bold and careful, and he also seized these opportunities, and successfully attracted the attention of Qianlong. ”

"In the 40th year of Qianlong, in October, the 26-year-old He Shen was promoted to the guard of the Qianqing Gate, and in November, he was promoted to the imperial guard, and was awarded the Blue Banner and the deputy capital. In the first month of the forty-first year, he was awarded the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Households, the Minister of Military Aircraft in March, and the Minister of Internal Affairs in April...... In just half a year, He Shen went from an ordinary guard to the highest level of power in the Qing Dynasty and became a favorite of Emperor Qianlong's cronies. ”

This has to be said because He Shen is bold and careful, knows how to seize opportunities, and of course, the premise is also to have his own talents and learning. ”

"Speaking of He Shenlai, he is indeed a versatile person. He Shen is not as unlearned and unskilled as later generations say. On the contrary, he is very talented. According to the "Biography of He Shen", He Shen has an amazing memory, is smart and decisive, and is versatile. Qianlong specifically mentioned in the "Tuzan of the Fifteen Heroes of the Pacification of Gurkhas" that He Shen was proficient in Manchu, Han, Menggu, and Xizang. ”

"Moreover, another talent of He Shen is to know how to guess the emperor's mind and do what he likes. Qianlong loved to do poetry and calligraphy all his life, and in order to cater to Qianlong, He Shen put a lot of effort into these aspects and reached a high level. ”

"Once said that Qianlong had a 70th birthday, just when all parts of the country were busy with Qianlong's 70th birthday, at this time Qianlong Ye received a report from Xizang Kuaima Fei, Qianlong Ye opened this letter and looked at it, he didn't know a word, it turned out that the words were all Tibetan. At that time, Qianlong ordered the ministers to know whom, but none of the ministers knew these words. ”

He Shen stood up at this time, and He Shen came here to open the letter and read it, and then translated it, which roughly means that knowing the 70th birthday of Lord Qianlong, the sixth Panchen Lama of Xizang was very happy, and he was ready to personally lead hundreds of lamas and monks to congratulate Lord Qianlong on his birthday. ”

If the Sixth Panchen Lama could congratulate Lord Qianlong on his birthday, then there would be more pomp and circumstance, and Lord Qianlong was naturally very happy when he heard this, and immediately ordered He Shen to draw up his decree in three languages, Han, Manchu, and Tibetan, and He Shen immediately drafted different edicts in three languages. ”

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Qianlong to appreciate He Shen. A huge Qing Dynasty, who can speak four languages and can be an official, is only one of him, and one of Heshen. You can't even find a second person. You said that Lord Qianlong was going to remove him and bomb him home, who would take care of this kind of thing in the future? At that time, He Shen was the only and irreplaceable, so he was taken seriously. ”

"On the other hand, we are not in the company, in the school, is irreplaceable, if you are, then you can have a place in your field, if not, you have to consider giving yourself more and learning more. ”

"He Shen's brilliance is because of his character, his talent, anxious about what the emperor is anxious about, and worried about what the emperor is worried about, so even if Qianlong knows that he is greedy, he will protect his life. But in the end, greed must not be advisable, so Jiaqing ascended the throne, and the first to win it was He Shen. ”

"We learn from the good in Shen and reject the shortcomings in Heshen, so that history can help us to be useful people in society, okay, that's all for my speech today. ”

When Professor Ke Yao talked about history, he didn't make the students feel bored, and after talking about the history of He Shen, the students also felt that He Shen really didn't seem to be a treacherous villain like in the TV series.

Teacher Keyao is above the class, there is no problem in talking and laughing, but as soon as he finishes speaking, he stands there dryly, there is no nutrition, Jiang Yang is going to build a lecture, it is not just a simple class, at this point, his role as a host can be played.

Jiang Yang tidied up his clothes and appeared on the stage again.
