The Yongzheng Dynasty was an important period of the Qing Dynasty in China, with a turbulent political situation and full of conspiracy and deceit. During this period, Li Wei, a confidant of the Yongzheng Emperor, became a high-profile figure. However, no one thought that this Li Wei's family property would eventually flow into the pocket of another powerful minister and Shen, what kind of conspiracy and changes are hidden behind this?
First of all, let's understand the political pattern of the Yongzheng period. After Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne, he faced a contradiction between the Manchurian aristocracy and the Han bureaucracy. In order to strengthen his rule, Yongzheng took a series of measures, one of which was to appoint a group of loyal ministers. Li Wei is one of them, he is known for his honesty and integrity, and has become Yongzheng's right-hand man. However, it is precisely because of Li Wei's incorruptibility that he does not hold too much real power, but has become a symbolic and important **.
However, the turning point of fate came with the appearance of He Shen. He Shen was one of the most powerful ministers of the Yongzheng Dynasty, and he was well versed in power and cunning. After Yongzheng's death, He Shen quickly rose to prominence and became Yongzheng's Kangxi successor, a close confidant of Emperor Qianlong. And in this process, Li Wei's family property turned out to be his coveted target.
The reason why He Shen was able to succeed was first of all thanks to his political shrewdness. He was good at grasping the context of the government, gaining insight into the changes in the current situation, and quickly adjusting his position. In addition, He Shen is also good at making friends with important members of the DPRK and China, and through clever means, he makes them work for him. In this process, Li Wei's incorruptibility became his weakness, and He Shen gradually weakened Li Wei's position in the court through various means.
At the same time, Heshen's desire for wealth is also a factor that cannot be ignored. As a Qing official, Li Wei has a rich family property and has become an integral part of Heshen's dream of wealth. Through various means, He Shen gradually transferred Li Wei's family property to his own name, achieving the purpose of containment and control.
In this process, intrigue and calculation are intertwined, showing the cruelty and complexity of the power struggle. Li Wei, as Yongzheng's right-hand man, could have become a supporter of the imperial court, but in the end he fell into the trap of power schemes. And He Shen, with his shrewdness and decisiveness, successfully pocketed Li Wei's family property and became one of the real ministers of the Yongzheng Dynasty.
This story teaches us that in the arena of political struggle, incorruptibility is not always able to protect a person from intrigue. The game of power is often cruel and ruthless, and there are countless deceit hidden behind it. And this period of history in the Yongzheng period has also become a part of the struggle for power in China's feudal society, leaving many thought-provoking lessons.
