Kang Yongqian's three dynasties are called prosperous

As everyone knows, the sunset is red at night

In recent years, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty have been very angry, and it seems that these emperors have all become "good emperors" who are generous and benevolent, sympathetic and loving to the people, and do their best to die for the common people in the world.

There are even some TV dramas that write these emperors as "heroes" who are far-sighted, expand their territory, and bring prosperity to the people. You don't see, some TV commercials have added fuel to the fire, imperceptibly instilling the "emperor complex" and "servile sentiment" into the daily life of ordinary people in the 21st century. If you want to eat "so-and-so cereal", you want to drink "so-and-so wine", and you also want the actor who plays the emperor in "so-and-so Gege", wearing a dragon robe crown and saying "grace", it seems that only the small people can get alms. As early as the beginning of the last century, Mr. Lu Xun bitterly ridiculed the "Ah Gui" and "Ah Q" who were used to being slaves, and they were used to kneeling and couldn't stand up.

The emperor and Gege came forward to advertise, and there was a great tendency to get out of control. It is ridiculous that those slaves who are accustomed to being slaves to "eat a piece of the pie" insist on imposing the "slave philosophy" on the audience!

Let's look at the truth of the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties!

There are many historical novels about the Qing Dynasty writing emperors, and there are many kinds of historical novels about the three dynasties, and the TV series adapted and released on the basis of the novels are being released every night.

It turns out that Hong Kong and Taiwan's "jokes" are somewhat mocking, and since they are "jokes", not many people take them seriously and regard them as history. In recent years, historical novels and historical TV series about the Qing Dynasty or other dynasties have been very wrong. In fact, even the Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Emperor Song Zu, and Genghis Khan, who have been judged by historians, only affirm his historical achievements in one aspect, and they all have the other side of cruelly ruling and enslaving the people of the world.

No emperor is an absolute "good emperor", and from the perspective of human rights, humanity, and humanity, they are all deformed children produced by China's thousands of years of feudal imperial power, and in a cliché, they have their own historical limitations.

Let's just say that Xuan Ye, who created the so-called "Kangxi Prosperous Era", was the heir of Shunzhi at the age of eight, changed the Yuan Kangxi, and Kangxi was in power for six years - at the age of fourteen, he removed Aobai, removed the three feudatories, governed the river, subdued Mongolia, pacified Galdan, changed customs, and promoted Confucianism, and indeed did his best to consolidate his own rule; Objectively, it brought the people who suffered from war in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties an opportunity to temporarily rest and recuperate. It has objectively promoted the development of productive forces, and this historical merit should be affirmed.

But his exploits did not stop there, and for a time consolidated the imperial rule of the Qing Dynasty. The struggle for the succession of the princes in the middle and late Kangxi periods, the bloody slaughter that lasted until the Yongzheng Dynasty, was just a dog-eat-dog struggle within the royal family, which involved some innocent minions and even ordinary people in vain.

As for the harvest of Taiwan and the pacification of Galdan, it seems that it should not be said that Kangxi has made outstanding contributions in opening up the territory and expanding the territory. The entire Qing Dynasty did not expand its territory, and Kangxi sent Suo Etu to negotiate with Russia to demarcate the border, but lost a large area of land north of Heilongjiang. In the fourth year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng sent Long Keduo and General Altai to negotiate the border between China and Russia on the Xinjiang side, and lost a large area of land in the western part of the Ili River Valley and west of Tacheng.

The largest territory of China was the Yuan Dynasty in the era of Genghis Khan, "Genghis Khan only knew how to bend the bow and shoot eagles", and his descendants could not hold the vast land. Galdan is a Mongol, he does not want to break away from China and establish a separate country, he wants to fight to Beijing and be the emperor by him, so Kangxi Ping Galdan is still a war within the ruler for the throne, which is not a "land expansion".

As for Taiwan, it is well known that in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong harvested Taiwan from Waiyi, so Zheng Chenggong was a national hero. In the Kangxi Dynasty, Taiwan was ruled by Zheng Jing, a descendant of Zheng Chenggong, who had the idea of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and maybe he also wanted to fight for an emperor. The "harvest of Taiwan," which has been exaggerated with great momentum, is nothing more than a transfer from one ruler in China to another.

Li Hua, an essayist in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a "Hanging Ancient Battlefield Essay", in which there is such a great sigh:

The vast flat sand is boundless, no one is visible, the river lingers, and the mountains are there

Dispute. gloomy and miserable, the wind is sad; The grass is dry, and the frost is like a morning

； Birds can't fly, and beasts forget the flock. The pavilion chief told Yu: "This ancient battlefield

Also, often covering the three armies, often ghosts cry, and the sky is cloudy. ”

…… When I heard it, I used Zhao to break the forest and open up thousands of miles

, fled to the Huns. Han poured the world, the wealth was exhausted, and it was just a matter of letting people, its

In much more? Zhou chased the rampant, north to Taiyuan, both the city Shuofang, the whole division

Also, drink to Ce Xun, be happy and leisurely, Mu Mu Didi, between the monarchs and ministers.

Qin started the Great Wall, the sea was the pass, the poisonous creatures, thousands of miles Zhu Yin; Han Strike

The Huns, although they have Yin Mountain, pillow remains are all over the field, and the merit does not make up for the trouble.

Li Hua's text is to hope that the imperial court will reform its internal affairs, adjust its foreign relations, and not use the flesh and blood of the common people to feed its own desire for power. This is similar to the interrogation of Du Fu's poems:

Jun has been rich in the land, how much is there to open the border?

Please ask the Lord the general, and use poverty and famine.

The side court bleed into the sea, and King Wu opened the border.

In Du Fu's eyes, it is to expand the territory and defend the territory, but also in moderation, not to mention the dog-eat-dog war within the ruler.

There are just wars divided into just and unjust, the wars against foreign imperialist aggression and colonialism in the past 100 years, and the wars in history in which peasants revolted against the tyrannical rule of feudal emperors, all of which are just wars. The wars within the ruling class for the throne, the suppression of minority revolts and peasant uprisings were naturally unjust wars. Kangxi's Pingsan Domain, Galdan, and the so-called "harvest of Taiwan" basically belong to this kind of war, and it seems that it is not appropriate to sing praises.

Xu Lan, a staff member of the King of Anjun who followed Kangxi's expedition to Galdan, was a Changshu, Jiangsu, and went out of the fortress from the King of Anjun in 35 years, from Juyongguan to Guihua City. Yongzheng Chu followed the year of Qianyao to Qinghai) wrote a poem "Out of Yongguan", which was sarcastic about the expedition. The poem says:

The general will be a marquis when he goes,

The soldier is willing to stay;

Peach blossom after the horse, snow before the horse,

There is no turning back when you get out of the customs.

Kangxi's private life was extravagant, and the extravagance and extravagance of six visits to Jiangnan consumed financial resources, which laid hidden dangers for the Qing Dynasty, which seemed to be a "prosperous era". In the short thirteen years since Yongzheng came to power, after Yongzheng killed his brother and brother to consolidate his rule, since Yongzheng started in the eighth year, he has been excessive, and he can't even save his life. I had to beg for the immortal medicine Jindan, and because of taking cinnabar continuously for several years, I finally died at the age of 58 due to poisoning with medicinal stones.

Tian Wen, who used to be a household servant and governor of Guizhou, wrote a poem "The Ballad of Sand Mining", lashing out at the fallacy of the so-called longevity of taking cinnabar and becoming an immortal, and exposing the suffering brought by sand mining to the local people. The poem says:

As big as an ox, as red as the sun.

The government learns the immortals,

Why is it too urgent to take sand!

There is sand in the sac, but there is no millet in the bottle.

But I don't love Bao,

This poison is produced.

The sand is empty,

Now there is nothing.

Catch people in soapy nights,

Like a chicken and a dog.

Creeping Court,

The hall shouted:

I don't learn immortals by mistake and don't live forever,

He was scourged to death.

Yongzheng is both absurd and ignorant, he believes in Buddhism without Buddha heart, believes in witchcraft and evil magic can drive away evil spirits and cure diseases, and believes in Fangshi to take Jinshi pills, but "gave Qingqing's life in vain", and also brought disaster and pain to the common people. During his reign, he was a man of letters, murderous, and a tyrannical emperor recognized by historians.

Since Qianlong's accession to the throne, when the Qing Dynasty was in its so-called heyday, his prostitution was extraordinary, and he was better than the blue, better than the holy grandfather Kangxi. He also thought that his holiness was boundless, and his benevolence was pervasive. Wherever you go, you can write inscriptions and poems, and you think that you are fully equipped with martial arts. In his later years, he called himself a perfect old man, and ordered his ministers to compile a "Ten Complete Martial Arts Record" to praise his achievements in order to pass on them to future generations, so that all generations could look up to them.

He can be called complacent in doing so, but there is a shortcoming. When I was a teenager, I indulged in excessive desires, just because of my innate endowment and the acquired cultivation was very sufficient, so I didn't feel anything in middle age, and I couldn't help but lose my strength in my later years. also has to take care of all opportunities every day, the imperial concubines at night, and the prostitutes in the Qinglou, showing a tired spirit. I want to pass on the heir to the emperor, retire to the old Nangong by myself, and enjoy the blessing of being at ease.

Qianlong has been in the palace for 60 years, so he wants to hold an inner Zen ceremony and become the emperor himself. At the moment, the decree was passed on, the Yuqing Palace was re-repaired, and the fifteenth prince Jia was ordered to move into the residence, and the plaque of the imperial book "Jide Hall" was given and hung.

Prince Jia is the favorite prince of Qianlong's sons, and he is born from the noble concubine Wei Jia. Born with a rich spirit, a dignified demeanor, he went to school at the age of six, and his master was the soldier Lang Fengkuan. At the age of thirteen, he had completed the Five Classics, so he learned modern style poetry from Xie Yong, a waiter in the Ministry of Industry, and learned ancient Chinese and ancient style poetry from Zhu Qi, a bachelor of waiter. At the age of fourteen, he was promoted to Prince Jia and given to live in the Fang Palace.

Until sixty years, Qianlong ordered him to move to Yuqing Palace, although there was a Zen in his intention, but it was hidden in his heart and did not confide in. It wasn't until September of that year that Fang summoned the Minister of Military Aircraft, the scholar and Shen into the room, and said to him:

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been in the armor for a week, fortunately thanks to the blessing of heaven, the blessing of my ancestors, and the peace of the four seas. Recalling the time when I practiced Zuo, I once prayed silently to the heavens, if Zhou Jia became the country, he would definitely return to the emperor and retire to the old age. This year is the 60th year of the sixtieth year, and I will return to politics next year. Fortunately, the secret edict has long been hidden behind the plaque of Zhengda Guangming, and tomorrow is an auspicious day, so the edict must be taken out from the plaque, announced in public, and prepared for inner meditation. ”

When He Shen heard this, he secretly thought: This emperor finally believes in me very much, and no matter how big or small, there is no matter how big or small it is, before it is handled without consulting with me. Why is it that the only thing about the secret edict of the throne is to hide it from me? Are you still afraid that I will leak secrets? If he hadn't told me in person today, I wouldn't have known that there was an edict in the plaque. But the things on the side are not bad, I don't know which prince he wants to canonize. I was deceived by him, and this loss is really not small. Otherwise, I can go to the crown prince to congratulate in advance, and the merit of this decision is not small, but it can be used to invite the emperor's favor.

He Shen sighed, but the saint refused to say it clearly, and he couldn't ask, how is it good? With a little planning in his heart, he frowned, and thought about it: "Yes, why don't you test his tone with words, as long as you get a little news, you can rush to make meritorious contributions and invite the grace of the new emperor." The decision had been made, and at the moment he pretended to be overjoyed and prostrated himself to congratulate:

"The emperor with the heart of Yao Shun Chan, Cheng Yuqi inherited the industry, enjoyed the blessings that the ancient emperors did not have, and carried out the grand deeds that the ancient emperors did not have, and the Longyi Grand Ceremony was very innovative. The slave prepares the prime minister, and he is the first assistant, and he congratulates the grand ceremony. It's just that the canonization ceremony will be held tomorrow, and the crown prince's treasure palace has not yet been prepared, so I'm afraid it's too late. ”

Qianlong sneered and said:

"Still use you to rap? I have already prepared, Yuqing Palace has been renovated and renovated, I have already passed the decree, ordered Prince Jia to enter the residence, and gave the name Jide Hall, the plaque of the book, and hung it for him. It is the meaning of succession, you are so smart, can't you guess what I mean? ”

He Shen secretly thought to himself: It turns out that the future new emperor is him, what about the strange way, repairing Yuqing Palace for no reason, and ordering Prince Jia to move to live, who knows what it means. was negligent for a while, otherwise he would have been able to plant melons and get melons a long time ago. Fortunately, Prince Jia has always had nothing to do, and today he can rush to Yuqing Palace to deliver the news, so that he will feel that I have contributed very much to my heart, and he will definitely thank me for my merits in the future, so that he will not worry about future troubles.

While making up his mind in his heart, he also perfunctory Qianlong, kowtowed:

"The holy will is unfathomable, and the slave is short-sighted and shallow, where can I guess the will of the sacred heart."

Qianlong listened to his flattering words, was overjoyed, and talked with him for a while about the next government affairs before ordering him to withdraw. He Shen went out of the palace gate, where was there a delay, Rufei rushed home, selected a good jade Ruyi, and went to Yuqing Palace to meet Prince Jia.

When Prince Jia heard the news that He Shen came to see him, he didn't know what was going on, because he was Qianlong's first favorite minister, his power was like a mountain, and he was very interested, although he was too greedy and not very happy, he was afraid that he would say bad things about himself in front of Qianlong, and he didn't dare to slack off, and greeted him in person.

When He Shen saw Prince Jia, he immediately kowtowed and said with joy:

"The slave knocked on Prince Jia, and the slave said hello to Prince Jia."

"Oh, Hezhongtang," Prince Jia had never seen Heshen treat him so seriously, and asked with a smile, "where does this joy come from?" ”

He Shen immediately offered the jade ruyi and knelt there silently.

Prince Jia was already strange because he congratulated him with Shen, and when he saw the wishful offering, he felt very puzzled. It turned out that in the palace and officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, there was a rule, whenever the concubine was promoted, someone would say hello to him, and he must offer his wishes. In the officialdom, when the New Year's Festival is celebrated, it is also necessary to congratulate the handle. Now He Shen's sudden dedication to Prince Jia is an example of recruitment.

Prince Jia also knew that there was this story, so when he saw that He Shen Dao was happy, he was very shocked in his heart, so he immediately asked:

"Xiangguo congratulates me, I don't know what to congratulate."

He Shen laughed and said:

"Didn't the prince get the plaque from the emperor the day before yesterday? But for the sake of the word 'Jide', you will know the origin of this happy event. ”

When Prince Jia heard this, he suddenly realized, and thought in his heart: He Shen, this old thief is really hateful, he dared to leak the secret edict of the throne without authorization, I expected that he came to say goodbye, nothing more than to praise Xiang Xiang's decision, and want me to be grateful to him. Sure enough, with this thought, it was a big mistake, father and son passed on the throne, do you still need help from others? If I take the throne, I will make it a crime, and I will not forgive this old thief.

Although Prince Jia is so thoughtful, he treats He Shen very humbly and hazely on the surface, as if he respects him very much. He Shen thought that Prince Jia had been co-opted by himself, and he was very happy in his heart, and he talked in the palace for a long time before he said goodbye and went back, and he was overjoyed in his heart.

On the next day, Qianlong looked at the court, summoned the princes and grandsons, as well as the princes of the clan and the ministers of the Manchu and Han dynasties, and preached the edict in public, and led the guards and eunuchs to the Zhengda Guangming plaque to invite the gold box, open it in public in the palace, and announced the secret edict of succession. Then the sacrifice to heaven and earth, the gods of the temple and the shrine, the crown prince of Jia Yan Yan as the crown prince, and scheduled to hold the inner Zen on the New Year's Day of the next year, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to pre-formulate the inner Zen ceremony. And when the princes had given the will, they bowed down and shouted together, praising the Holy Father.

In an instant, it was New Year's Day, and Qianlong was really located in the crown prince Yanyan, and the year name was changed to the first year of Jiaqing. This is the Jiaqing Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Speak on New Year's Day. Qianlong held a great ceremony for the Zen throne, and all the sacrifices to the Heaven and Earth Society Jizong Temple and other things were prepared to stop last year.

After returning to power, the monarch and ministers performed affairs and respected Qianlong as the emperor. As for the edict and the imperial treasure used, it has also been agreed by the Ministry of Rites and has already been promulgated. It is the inner Zen ceremonial guard, the canonization ceremony, and it was also clear last year. Everything is in order, very calm.

In the early morning of this day, the new emperor followed Qianlong Luanyu, came to the Fengxian Palace, according to the ritual note, passed the ceremony, sent officials to sacrifice to the Taimiao, and then came to the Imperial Taihe Palace, and the treasure of the country was handed down by Qianlong himself, and the new emperor was awarded. The new emperor knelt down to accept, the gratitude was over, and the Taishang Emperor was congratulated by the ministers and retired to the palace first. The new emperor was enthroned again and congratulated.

Emperor Taishang's edict was issued, and the world was promulgated, and the Yuan Jiaqing was changed. After Emperor Jiaqing retired from the dynasty, he drove the imperial palace of Qianlong Yuningshou Palace, and held a banquet of thousands of people, including princes, ministers, Mongolian Beile, Beizi, Gong, and Taiji. There are more than 3,000 people who live to more than 70, and when they are 90 years old in Kyoto, Qianlong is summoned to the throne to give the imperial wine in person.

This ceremony is also an unprecedented event, and later generations have poems about Qianlong's inner Zen:

Rui Xue auspicious light around the front of the emperor,

The heirloom seal is handed down by hand.

Yao Tianshun reappears today,

Lucky to have a peaceful year from now on?

After Qianlong passed on the throne, he wanted to live in peace in the south, not only to enjoy the wealth of the world, but also to command the new emperor remotely, without losing the majesty of the emperor. How do you know that the Qing Dynasty is in the "Grand View Garden" described by Cao Xueqin's pen, "the inside has been hollowed out", and the "omenous sorrow" of "the feast will be dispersed" has been revealed. Cao Xueqin borrowed the mouth of Leng Zixing, an antique dealer, and said:

Now that the population is growing and the affairs are flourishing, the master and servant are all safe

Rich and honorable, there is no one who plans to plan. That day with pomp, and no

If you can be thrifty, although the outer shelf is not very down, the inner bag is also

It's all up.

The housekeeper's sister Feng said:

There are many people who go out, and there are few people who come in, and they can't always get around the corner......

It's hard for us to be like a day, and we're still so particular outside.

This is actually a true description of the Yong and Qian, when the Qing Dynasty had gone and its decline had become a reality. The so-called "fame and fame, wealth and wealth" splendid life, behind the charming "prosperous age", is soaked in the blood and sweat of the peasants who have been squeezed dry. The main thing that sustained the royal family's lavish expenses and the emperor's numerous tours to the north and south was still brutal, bone-wracking feudal rent exploitation. In order to satisfy the extravagant pleasures of the emperor and the emperor's minions, the servants of the servants not only plundered the peasants in kind, but also squeezed a large amount of monetary rent and servitude.

Looking at the list of Wu Jinxiao's rent payment in the fifty-third episode of "Dream of Red Mansions", you can understand that even in the case of a poor harvest in a famine year, the imperial power used brutal means to oppress the peasants.

Just when Qianlong was in the Zen position, Jiaqing was in the court, and the ministers were cheering, the southern place had already been stirred up with corpses all over the field and blood flowing all over the ground.

Originally from Shunzhi into the customs, stealing from China, after the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties, although there is no deep benevolence and benevolence, and the people's hearts, but it will also be a disaster and chaos, and gradually recuperate, and the national strength has been several rich, reaching the realm of solid and sufficient. Qianlong's ascension to the throne in the sea was the time when Liri was prosperous on the outside. It is necessary to abide by the family law of the ancestors, be diligent and thrifty, and rest with the people, so that the icing on the cake can naturally continue the "prosperous era", and there will be no trouble.

Helplessly, Qianlong was extravagant, and repeatedly toured the south to accept offerings, and the requisitions were frequent, which stirred up the people to live and work in peace and contentment. The achievements of Kang and Yong's recuperation have long been lost by him, and they are gone, and the people are suffering from political abuse and can no longer bear it. It doesn't count if Qianlong squandered it himself, and he had to favor a He Shen to help. He Shen alone is not enough, and he used countless corrupt officials, foxes, dogs, and vampires to knock on the bones and suck the marrow, making the people of the whole country destitute and have little life. There is no way out, so it is natural to take risks.

Let's say that the people in Hubei, Sichuan, and other places were forced to form a cult called the White Lotus Sect and brew trouble. two people at the head, one calling for civilization; One is called Gao Tiande. In the beginning, it was just a poor man who recited mantras and drew charms, and gave water to heal the sick. Later, he committed suicide and set fire to the government. The number of people who joined the church increased day by day, so they embraced a child who was more than ten years old and became their leader, openly rebelled against the imperial court.

In order to command the world, the parishioners claimed that he was originally a descendant of the Ming Dynasty, the son of the third prince of Zhu in the Kangxi Dynasty, who made trouble in the capital, that is, the grandson of Emperor Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

After some planning, incitement everywhere, and is about to make a move to plot misdeeds. Unexpectedly, the news leaked out and was arrested by the officers and soldiers. The generals killed a lot, found out that Wang Cheng was not a descendant of Chongzhen, remembered that he was young and ignorant, and he was lenient and sent to Xinjiang to serve hard labor.

Na Gou Wenming, Gao Tiande and the leader Liu Zhixie, how are they willing to give up. was trying to take revenge, but it happened that the court issued an order for the magistrate to search for the traitors, and no one could slip through the net. The government did not handle it well, and even though the officials were ordered to search from house to house, they wantonly arrested and beat people, causing restlessness and complaints.

So Liu Zhixie and other leaders took advantage of the situation and launched a huge peasant uprising, and for a while, the poor peasants in Sichuan and Shaanxi with the White Lotus Sect as the core surged to kill the officials. They opened warehouses and released grain, killed officials who were corrupt and perverted the law, and responded in all directions. Sichuan, Shaanxi, Chu and other places are completely under the world of the White Lotus Sect.

The Prince of Peace and Emperor Qianlong, who had traveled and enjoyed all his life, strategized and commanded behind the scenes, so that Emperor Jiaqing quickly sent troops to recruit and suppress. But it has already become a spark and a prairie fire, pressing the gourd to float the scoop, rising from the east to the west, and from the west to the east. Where can it be calmed down. Not only was Jiaqing eating and drinking, and the military book was helpless. Even the emperor also listened to the long-term training of the government, and became anxious.

However, He Shen secretly rejoiced in his heart: taking advantage of the "bandits" to stir up trouble, he could arbitrarily suppress the military newspaper and recalculate the reimbursement. You can also use the military to extort heavy bribes. The commanders and commanders of all walks of life were blackmailed by He Shen in every possible way, and they were unable to respond to orders, so they had to deduct military salaries and grain to honor He Shen.

The army has no adequate salary, and the soldiers are scattered, where can they quell the riots? Jiaqing knew that he was treacherous, and he hated it very much in his heart. Just because the Emperor Taishang was extraordinarily fond of him, he didn't dare to attack easily for a while, for fear of hurting the emperor's heart. The old customs of Manchuria, when encountering happy celebrations, there is a habit of wishful thinking. When Jiaqing ascended the throne, he expressly forbade the submission of Ruyi, which clearly meant to hate Heshen.

Na He Shen was not interested, and he wanted to publicize it everywhere, saying that Jiaqing had to be the emperor of the Emperor's inner meditation, which he secretly supported. When Jiaqing heard about these things, he was even more angry with He Shen, and there was a great tendency to disagree with him. He estimated that his foundation was not stable, but he seemed to be kind to Heshen on his face, as if he was very good. Whenever there is any political matter, he wants to start Qianlong, but he is afraid that He Shen will be suspicious of himself and say bad things about him in front of the emperor, and deliberately ask He Shen to play on his behalf. Some of the courtiers on the left and right said that Heshen was not good, and Jiaqing must have told them:

"You dare to divide the peace, I am relying on the minister to rule the four seas, how can you despise him?"

He Shen saw that Jiaqing was very gracious, but he still couldn't rest assured, and he also protected his business teacher Wu Xinglan, transcribed poems and grass on behalf of the emperor, and secretly peeked at the movement. Jiaqing knew his intentions, but he played accurately.

From then on, when Jiaqing was chanting, he was very attentive, and the corners of the poems were not exposed at all. He Shen saw that Emperor Jiaqing was undoubtedly jealous, and his heart was overjoyed, and his courage became bigger and bigger, and even his prime minister's mansion was almost the same as that of Da Nei, and his clothes and other things were also used by the emperor.

This year, the minister of the Qin Mission, Le Baojie, arrived, saying that he had captured Liu Zhixie, the leader of the White Lotus Sect. Qianlong thought that the bandits would be able to be pacified in a few days, and the Sacred Heart was overjoyed, and issued an order to confer the title of the first-class Duke of Lebao, the Minister of Military Aircraft and Shen Jin as the Duke, and the Fu'an Jin Marquis. The Manchu and Han courtiers, civil and military officials, got the information, and rushed to Heshen Mansion to say goodbye, and since then they have changed their names to Heshen as "public ministers".

He Shen was also overjoyed when he had this opportunity, and passed on the order to prepare a grand banquet to entertain the guests. All of a sudden, the staggered schedule, the guests are like clouds, the wealth and prosperity, the lively scene, it is difficult to describe. It's really:

Heavenly Immortal Mansion,

The Prime Minister of the World.

wine forest with meat sea,

Jewel is poor and luxurious.

There is no one in the world like him. During the banquet, there was drinking, talking, singing and dancing, and it was noisy until late at night, and then the banquet was dismissed. After the guests went, He Shen drank a few more glasses of wine, came to the secret room alone, closed the door, and then took out a hanging pearl and a pearl, brought it up, walked to the front of the big mirror, wandered in the mirror, left and right reflected Gu Ying and was happy, that look very proud. In the secret room, he went straight to the third watch before he went to bed.

A few days later, the court received another military report, saying that the bandit Gou Wenming and Gao Tiande wanted to avenge his leader, and he actually defeated the soldiers, and its momentum became more and more rampant. When the Emperor heard the alarm, he was extremely worried, and summoned Jiaqing and Heshen to go to Cining Palace to meet the opportunity.

Jiaqing entered the palace with He Shen and met the emperor. At the right time, the emperor sat on the futon, his eyes closed, and muttered words in his mouth, as if reciting a mantra. Jiaqing didn't know why, the worship was over, and he stood aside, not daring to be alarmed. He Shen prostrated himself before the steps, waiting for the holy decree.

The Emperor Taishang recited silently for a long time, and suddenly asked loudly:

"Who bears it?"

Jiaqing didn't know what he meant, so he dared to agree and glanced at He Shen. I saw He Shen kneeling there and replied loudly:

"Gou Wenming, Gao Tiande."

The Emperor Taishang opened his eyes and discussed the military situation with them.

Jiaqing was very puzzled, he didn't understand what the emperor was silently reciting, and he didn't understand what it meant for He Shen to suddenly shout the names of Gao Tiande and Gou Wenming. When the deliberations were over and he withdrew from Cining Palace, Jiaqing asked He Shen:

"What did the emperor recite at the right time, why did you call two names only?"

He Shen glanced at Jiaqing and said with a sneer:

"The emperor doesn't know the bottom of it, the emperor used to practice the mantra of the Western Regions from the lama, if this person deserves to die, as long as he silently recites the mantra and shouts his name, even if he is thousands of miles away, he will die instantly. It was this mantra that the emperor recited silently. I think there are only two people now, Gou Wenming and Gao Tiande, and the crime should be killed, which is the mustard in the emperor's heart, so he suddenly called the names of these two people. ”

Jiaqing heard that it was really unbelievable, catering to the emperor's subtlety, and his heart became more and more disgusted with his treachery, but he smiled silently on his face:

"Xiangguo can be regarded as the emperor's first confidant."

He Shen knew Jiaqing's words, which meant that he was good at greeting and treacherous, but he was proud and quit.

At that time, the bandits were disturbed, the court was busy with military affairs, and there was nothing to record in the palace. Time was fast, and the New Year had already passed, and on New Year's Day, the Emperor Taishang suddenly fell ill. The old man, his qi and blood have failed, and in order to disturb the bandits, he is anxious day and night, hard-working in political training, and overly worried, so he can't afford to fall ill and die in the third year of Jiaqing.

Qianlong was only able to drive, and the officials gave Wang Huaizu in the matter to supervise the imperial history Guanghe, so he immediately listed the money to impeach and Shen, saying that he was corrupt and lawless, please immediately dismiss and question, and be punished.

Jiaqing's accumulated anger finally burst out, and immediately issued a decree, ordering Prince Cheng Prince Yi to arrest He Shen, and ordered the warrior Alan Bao to supervise along the way, hand over to the Criminal Department, and strictly interrogate He Shen. He also sent an edict to send the eighth prince, the seventh prince, and Liu Zhongtang to interrogate the confession. The four of them were ordered to interrogate them one by one according to the terms they had participated. Then he ordered to put on the torture instrument, put him in prison, and go up.

Jiaqing read the chapter, and saw that none of the dozens of sins were vain, and he said angrily:

"What a traitor who is dictatorial and flouts the law, if he is not strictly prosecuted, how can he warn the future."

The eleventh prince was sent to join Qinggui Shengzhu to raid the house of Heshen, and sent the second son of the emperor Mianning to raid the garden of Heshen. The princes were sent to the edict, how dare they be lazy, lead the feudal servants and others, check separately, enlighten the list, and submit it to the imperial review. Jiaqing had read the list and was about to issue a decree, but the eleventh prince had already started:

"The Nanmu houses built by Heshen's family are all over the system, and the style of its multi-treasure pavilion corridor is modeled after the regulations of Ningshou Palace. The garden is decorated with decorations, and it is no different from the Pengdao Yaotai of the Old Summer Palace. ”

After the prince finished playing, the seven foreheads also participated in the impeachment one after another:

"In the secret room of Heshen, the pearl is hung in the pearl, which is a royal thing. Why should your subordinates have this? Because he immediately asked the slave of the Shen family, according to the confession of his personal slave, He Shen often hung this royal pearl in the middle of the night when there was no one, and muttered to himself in the mirror, obviously there was a risk of rebellion. And his slave Liu Quan, who actually has assets of more than 7 million taels of silver, if it is not for the extortion on weekdays, how can he accumulate wealth like this? ”

Jiaqing pushed the list of Heshen's family properties in his hand, and said slowly:

"I looked at the list of Heshen's property, a total of one hundred and nine, and the estimated price was eighty-thirty million, which was more than ten times the amount of the imperial silver of the treasury. I'm horrified! If it weren't for selling the official position and taking advantage of it, how could he have such a huge amount of wealth? It is hateful that he dared to use the things of public opinion and live in a mansion beyond the system, which shows that he is rebellious and plotting against him. He Shen received the favor of the emperor of Daxing, and did not think of repaying it, but he lost his conscience and harmed the people, which is rare for the rebels in ancient and modern times. The six departments and nine secretaries of the university will prepare the due crime, and Chen will carry it out! ”

Jiaqing has issued a decree, and the title of the Sixth Department of the University Scholar Jiuqing will play:

He Shen was corrupt and perverted the law, delayed the military plane, had different ambitions, and was rebellious

Dao, please follow the example of rebellion and put Ling Chi to death.

Under Jiaqing's reading, he hesitated. First, during the funeral period of Emperor Daxing, Ling Chi executed his beloved minister and Shen, which was inconsistent with the ceremony; Second, the first emperor married his favorite princess Gulun to Fengshen Yinde, the son of Heshen, and should look up to the emperor's heart. In order to preserve the national system, the Holy Oracle and Shen committed suicide in prison, so that Feng Shen Yinde inherited the position of earl, lived at home, and was not allowed to go out to make trouble.

It was not until Qianlong's death and Shen's suicide that the Qianlong Dynasty really ended, and the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties really came to an end. He Shen became the biggest embezzler in Chinese history, and at that time, when the treasury was only more than 50 million taels of silver, he alone looted 830 million taels of people's fat and ointment, more than 16 times the amount of treasury silver, which is really sensational and outrageous.

The appearance of He Shen is not accidental, and He Shen can imagine the corruption of the officialdom of the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties, which further confirms the social reality of the feudal aristocracy exploiting and oppressing the peasants exposed in "Dream of Red Mansions".

At that time, there was a folk song that said:

And Shen knocked down,

Jiaqing is full.

However, overthrowing a Heshen and supporting a Jiaqing can no longer save the fate of the declining Qing Dynasty.

The recently aired TV series "The Granary of the World" has a theme song, which is also very appropriate:

Brilliant Celestial Empire, thousands of weather,

The country sits in the hearts of the people.

Hot day, hot day, hot sun,

What is hot is a porridge, a meal, and a cloth.

Kyushu is round, the four fields are vast,

People from the north and south of the river are thriving.

Respect God and Father,

It is a good idea to respect a rich country and a strong people.

The emperor's country is indeed like a big mountain, pressing on the hearts of the common people. However, in the Qing Dynasty, ruled by feudal emperors, there was absolutely no "good proposition" of "enriching the country and strengthening the people" for the common people. Although Jiadi is very frugal, its national strength has been empty, and natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued year after year. The Qing Dynasty is already in decline, and it is impossible to prosper anymore. After the Opium War, the imperialist powers were eyeing the devil and extending their claws into poor and weak China, causing internal and external troubles, and 52 years after Qianlong's death, a peasant uprising of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom broke out on an unprecedented scale that affected most of China.

This is the continuation of the peasant uprisings in the Qianlong Dynasty and a general outbreak, although the "Thousand Miles of Hunger Map" was burned, but the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains have been filled with holes and sores, and the people have no way to live, rather than starve to death, it is better to resist and resist. Although the peasant movement of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was brutally suppressed by the Qing Dynasty, it had already sounded the death knell of imperial rule.

Look at the uprising and the war to suppress it, the displacement of people from the war, the barren fields, and the death and starvation of more than 100 million people on the scorched earth full of crime and bloodshed. At that time, the total population of the "Huanghuang Heavenly Empire" was about 300 million, and one of the three people died. This is the myth of the so-called "Kangqian Prosperous Era", which brought rewards to the suffering people, and this is the history of the bloody Qing Dynasty.
