Rise & Pamper**

During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, He Shen successfully rose to prominence by virtue of his extreme flattery to the emperor.

However, just as his promotion was in full swing, Qianlong set up barriers in two key departments, making it impossible for him to interfere in the Ministry of Rites and the Supervision Yuan.

The bumpy road to promotion**

Emperor Qianlong's obstruction of the Ministry of Rites stemmed from Heshen's failure to pass the imperial examination to enter the court. The Ministry of Rites must be selected by the imperial examination, and although He Shen is talented, he was not able to enter the Ministry of Rites because he was inferior to others in the imperial examination.

The frustration of the Inspectorate**

Qianlong hoped to collect the money of hundreds of officials for him through He Shen to maintain the expenses of the huge treasury. However, when He Shen lost his use value and his family property was abundant, Qianlong decisively copied his family property. At this moment, the balance between power and wealth collapsed, and Heshen's conspiracy reached its peak and came to an end.

Reflections on the companion like the tiger**

He Shen's life was full of legends, but in the end, he failed to take power in the Ministry of Rites and the Supervisory Yuan. This article reflects on the proposition that "a companion is like a tiger", revealing the truth of conspiracy and loss. Despite being favored by the emperor on the surface, He Shen lost himself in the whirlpool of power and intrigue, but in the end he could only face the lost glory alone.

Conclusion: ** During the Qianlong period, his road to promotion was confusing, and power and loss became the main theme of his life. History teaches us that in the pursuit of power, we must also guard against losing our true respect and value.
