He Shen, the first ** in the history of the Qing Dynasty, was given to death on the thirteenth day of the first month of the fourth year of Jiaqing (1799), so after he was given to die, were his descendants also held accountable?
Since He Shen has no heirs, if his daughter-in-law hadn't raised an heir for him, He Shen's bloodline would not have been able to continue. Next, we will ** and Shen were given to die, what is the fate of his descendants.
He Shen was a powerful minister in the Qianlong period, trusted by the emperor, and his power even surpassed that of Jiaqing, and he was known as the "Second Emperor of the Qing Dynasty". But after Jiaqingci's death, his huge wealth was confiscated, equivalent to fifteen years of income from the state treasury.
However, despite He Shen's power and wealth, he did not have many children, only two sons and two daughters, one of whom even died as an infant.
Although He Shen loves money and power, his married life is relatively dull, he only marries a four-room wife, and there are not too many erotic stories.
Fengshen Yinde, the son of Heshen, was married by Qianlong and Gulun and Princess Xiao when he was six years old, and was given the name Fengshen Yinde, which means that wealth will last forever. Feng Shen Yinde is Qianlong's youngest daughter and the husband of the most favored daughter.
After the marriage, Qianlong ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allocate funds to Heshen, and asked him to build a mansion for the Tenth Princess and Fengshen Yinde near Shichahai, which is now the palace of Prince Gong in Beijing.
Fengshen Yinde held a big wedding with the tenth princess at the age of 15, and Qianlong specially crowned him as Gulun's forehead, gave him Beizi court clothes, and let him enjoy the treatment of Beizi, which was highly recognized and loved by him.
Although Fengshen Yinde and the tenth princess have been married since childhood, they seem to have no emotional foundation, but the relationship between the two after marriage is surprisingly good. The key lies in the noble character of the tenth princess and her far-reaching influence on Fengshen Yinde.
At first, Fengshen Yinde relied on the protection of his father-in-law Qianlong and his father He Shen, and he had smooth sailing in his career and respected his status. However, this made him gradually become complacent, no longer studying hard, but indulging in pleasures.
At this time, the tenth princess stepped forward and advised Feng Shen Yinde not to be arrogant and complacent, not to rely only on others for protection, but to rely on his own ability and diligence to achieve achievements.
The tenth princess also led by example, she not only persuaded Fengshen Yinde, but also took the lead in reading and studying with Fengshen Yinde every day. Under the influence of the Ten Princesses, Feng Shen Yinde quickly got rid of the bad habit of eating, drinking, and having fun, devoted himself wholeheartedly to learning, and finally grew into a person of good character, diligence, studiousness, and solemnity and maturity.
Jiaqing originally wanted to put He Shen Ling Chi to death, but the cry of the tenth princess and Liu Yong's suggestion made him change his mind and decided to give He Shen to hang himself. Feng Shen Yinde escaped as a result, but was stripped of all titles, and only retained the post of minister of the second rank.
Fearing that he would arouse Jiaqing's suspicions, he began to drink heavily and take concubines as a sign of indulgence.
Fame and career are all illusory, so what is the use of epitaphs? Since then, Fengshen Yinde has lost hope in life, and has been drinking at home all day long, and has become addicted to alcoholism.
The tenth princess was very sympathetic to Fengshen Yinde's suffering, and in order to help him, she frequently entered the palace and kept begging Jiaqing, hoping that he could rearrange an official position for Fengshen Yinde.
In the eleventh year of Jiaqing (1806), Jiaqing could not resist his sister's insistence, appointed Fengshen Yinde as the deputy capital of Mongolia under the Zhengbai Banner, and awarded him the title of earl.
However, Jiaqing never had a good impression of Fengshen Yinde, after all, he hated Heshen, and he personally ordered Heshen to die. Therefore, even if Feng Shen Yinde is allowed to serve in the capital, Jiaqing will also feel uncomfortable.
So, he quickly sent Feng Shen Yinde to the Mongolian general Uriya Sutai for training, nominally for training, but in fact to send him to the frontier. This made Feng Shen Yinde even more decadent and depressed, and he began to drink excessively after Uriya Sutai, and the tenth princess wrote to him many times, but he did not reply.
Soon, due to alcoholism and unadaptability, Fengshen Yinde fell ill in Uriya Sutai. He did not seek medical help after he fell ill, but continued to indulge in alcohol, ready to die.
It wasn't until his entourage wrote to the tenth princess to report the matter that the tenth princess learned about Feng Shen Yinde's condition.
The tenth princess was extremely concerned about Feng Shen Yinde's body, so she entered the palace and asked Jiaqing to transfer him back to the capital**. In the fifteenth year of Jiaqing (1810), the seriously ill Fengshen Yinde was recalled to the capital, and Jiaqing restored his duke title in order to comfort his sister.
He died shortly after returning to Beijing at the age of 36. Originally, the tenth princess and Fengshen Yin Deyu had a son, but unfortunately died. In order to continue the bloodline of the Heshen family, the tenth princess persuaded Fengshen Yinde to take a concubine, and he finally accepted only one concubine, but the concubine gave birth to two daughters for him, both of which died.
After the death of Fengshen Yinde, since there were no children, the tenth princess decided to adopt her cousin Fengshen Yimian's son Fuen as his heir. The tenth princess has been widowed and raised by Feng Shen Yinde, Fu En inherited the position of the captain of the light car left by the father of Heshen, and in the Daoguang period, the official to the minister of scattered rank, there is a world position and not a low official rank, and the adopted grandson of Heshen Fuen can be said to be worry-free.
The tenth princess died in the third year of Daoguang (1823) at the age of 49. Thanks to such a virtuous daughter-in-law, He Shen not only allowed him to be buried, but also helped his son a lot, so that he would have descendants to inherit the incense after his death.
Despite being with Shen Quan, the fates of his two daughters are completely different. His eldest daughter married Yongjun, the great-grandson of Emperor Kangxi, but later because of the death of He Shen, Yongjun lost all his political status and could only have the title of Baylor and did nothing.
Jiaqing's distrust of Yongjun is directly due to his father-in-law and Shen. The eldest daughter of Heshen was snubbed in her husband's family, not only because she died young, but also because she became Yongjun's punching bag.
In contrast, He Shen's youngest daughter married Guiqing and lived a very happy life. Although Guiqing was born in a family of military generals, he loved literature since he was a child and was determined to enter the official career through the imperial examination, so He Shen did not help his second son-in-law Guiqing much in his official career.
After He Shen was given death, Guiqing was admitted to the Jinshi in the second half of the year, and when he tried in the imperial face, Jiaqing did not dislike and reject him because he was He Shen's son-in-law, but admired Guiqing's independent personality and ambition to enter the officialdom without relying on his father.
Therefore, instead of being suspicious of Guiqing, Jiaqing was very fond of Guiqing, and he promoted Guiqing to the rank of the Ministry of Rites, and in the Daoguang period, he became the official of the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of the Guard.
Guiqing and Heshen's youngest daughter lived happily, he did not take concubines in his life, and only gave birth to three sons and two daughters with Heshen's youngest daughter, and their descendants were mostly high-ranking officials and nobles during the Qing Dynasty.
He Shen's eldest grandson Rui Ying was the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang during the Tongzhi period, and He Shen's second grandson Ruizhen did not enter the official career, and He Shen's third grandson Rui Xiu went to the prefect of Jiaxing and married his wife as Yongzheng's granddaughter.
Their eldest daughter married the great-grandson of Qianlong's brother and prince Hongday, Zai Chong, and later gave birth to a son Pu Liang for Zai Chong, and Pu Liang's great-grandson was the famous modern calligrapher Mr. Qi Gong, who once said in his book that their family inheritance of love of reading and poetry and painting was influenced by Guiqing.
He Shen's youngest daughter married the chief military minister of the Xianfeng Dynasty and a university scholar Sai Shang'a, she was not implicated by He Shen, and lived happily after marriage.
Although most of He Shen's children were married to the royal family, and the Jiaqing Emperor did not expand the He Shen case, He Shen's children were not greatly implicated after He Shen's death.
But after He Shen's death, Heshen's children endured more mental pressure. His eldest daughter was discriminated against and abused in her husband's family, and even became the target of her husband's venting; He Shen's eldest son, Fengshen Yinde, was hindered in his career, often suffered false accusations, lost Jiaqing's trust, and the officialdom was unwilling, which eventually led to his early depression and death; However, only the youngest daughter and her husband Guiqing's family live a happy life.
