Looking at the interweaving of power, ability and morality from the fall of Heshen, the mirror of hi

Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-29

Heshen, a name that was once prominent in history, is now often mentioned in people's mouths. He is considered to be one of the people with the largest amount in history, with an amount of hundreds of millions of taels. However, he is not just a **, he is also a person with great ability and intelligence. As the saying goes, "He Shen falls, and Jiaqing eats enough." This sentence not only reveals the fall of He Shen and the gains of Jiaqing, but also hints at He Shen's power and status at that time.

The reason why He Shen can make so much money is mainly because of the power in his hands. He was the most trusted person beside Emperor Qianlong and was deeply respected by Emperor Qianlong. At that time, the Qianlong Emperor even married his youngest daughter, the Seventeenth Princess, to He Shen's son, a move that not only made He Shen a relative of the emperor, but also further consolidated his status and power. However, Emperor Qianlong was not in a hurry to take him down because of He Shen's **. This is because Emperor Qianlong knew that although He Shen was **, he also made a lot of contributions to the imperial court.

He Shen was a very capable person, and he was able to handle some tricky things, which made Emperor Qianlong trust him very much. In many cases, Emperor Qianlong would leave these tricky matters to He Shen to deal with. And He Shen was very satisfied with it every time, which made Emperor Qianlong pay more attention to him. Therefore, Emperor Qianlong did not rush to take Heshen, but chose to give him more opportunities to show his abilities.

However, after the death of Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Jiaqing ascended the throne. He did not maintain patience and trust in He Shen like Emperor Qianlong. On the contrary, he quickly took He Shen and copied He Shen's family property. This move made people see the truth about Heshen**, and also made people realize the harm of **.

In this event, we can see the impact of power on a person. While He Shen has power, he also has the opportunity. However, this power did not give him eternal benefits. Eventually, his downfall also gave a glimpse into the consequences of the corruption of power.

In addition, this incident also teaches us that one cannot ignore one's shortcomings because of one's abilities. Although He Shen has excellent abilities, he also has a lot of money. This kind of behavior not only harms the interests of the imperial court, but also endangers social stability. Therefore, we need to be vigilant at all times and not ignore a person's shortcomings because of his abilities.

Finally, this incident also tells us that the fight against corruption is a long-term and arduous task. Although He Shen was eventually overthrown, the ** phenomenon still exists. We need to continuously strengthen the intensity of anti-corruption and establish a sound anti-corruption mechanism in order to truly put an end to the occurrence of the first phenomenon.

In conclusion, although the phrase "He Shen falls, Jiaqing eats enough" is simple, it reveals a lot about power, ability, and morality. We need to learn from Heshen's example, strengthen our anti-corruption efforts, and contribute to social stability and development.
