Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-09

During the reign of Qianlong, He Shen made the emperor extremely satisfied with him with his outstanding intelligence and interpersonal skills. Although He Shen's *** behavior was regarded by the emperor as turning a blind eye, he was able to use the emperor's power to stand alone in the court and the opposition, and once became a hot figure.

He Shen is not the son of an official eunuch, he has lost the protection of his parents since he was a child, and he can only rely on himself to study hard. In this harsh environment, he is more intelligent and sensitive, and his ability to observe words and colors is stronger than other **.

He vowed to change the status quo, so he studied harder than his peers and became a leader. Feng Yinglian took a fancy to Heshen's potential and decided to marry his daughter to him to provide him with an opportunity.

With his superb emotional intelligence and outstanding talent, He Shen became the Feng family's fast son-in-law. The Feng family matched him behind his back, allowing him to smoothly enter the emperor's guards.

Although the salary of this position is not high, it is the dream of many children of high-ranking officials and nobles, because no one knows when they will get the opportunity to meet the emperor, and once they get the emperor's appreciation, the future promotion and fortune are just around the corner.

He Shen always remained sober at work, did not indulge in wine, was conscientious, and made many descendants of high-ranking officials and nobles, which laid a solid foundation for his connections in the officialdom.

The "fateful fate" between the Qianlong Emperor and He Shen The Qianlong Emperor, an emperor who was both civil and military, called himself a "perfect old man", created the prosperous Kangqian era in Chinese history during his reign.

However, when it comes to Qianlong, people always can't ignore the name He Shen. So, why did Qianlong attach so much importance to Heshen? All this may come from the "fate" between the emperor and the little palace maid.

Legend has it that when the young Qianlong was serving the emperor, he met a woman named Xiao Gong Mai, who fell in love with her at first sight and often spent time with her. However, this relationship suffered a tragic end because of the red mole of the little palace maid.

The little palace maid was given to death by the emperor because she was accused of ** the prince. And this experience made Qianlong have a deep affection for the little palace maid, and he made a promise that if the little palace maid had an afterlife, he would definitely find him.

Unexpectedly, Qianlong met He Shen at a certain opportunity, and he found that He Shen also had a red mole on his neck that was the same as that of the little palace maid. As a result, he was convinced that He Shen was the reincarnation of the little palace maid, and he had special feelings for He Shen.

This may also be one of the reasons why Qianlong has a good eye and a lot of love for Heshen. At the same time, this may also be the reason why Qianlong has a heart to compensate for Heshen. This "fateful fate" made the relationship between Qianlong and He Shen special, and it also became a unique story in history.

Emperor Qianlong had a wide range of hobbies and liked to read and write poetry. However, he often couldn't find a suitable candidate when appraising calligraphy and paintings. At this time, He Shen stood out with his talent and emotional intelligence.

He was not only familiar with the works of famous calligraphers and painters of various dynasties, but also accurately judged the true thoughts of Emperor Qianlong. He Shen's self-recommendation got Qianlong's attention, and then he was named many times to come to the imperial study to evaluate calligraphy and painting.

As time passed, He Shen judged the emperor's preferences more accurately, and every time he spoke, he could accurately hit the emperor's heart. The emperor also likes to take him with him because of He Shen's carcity and intelligence.

The more Emperor Qianlong knew about He Shen, the more he felt that he was an elite talent with both civil and military skills. He Shen knows poetry and poetry well, and his political vision is unique, even surpassing many old ministers.

He used to be a royal guard, and his skills were extraordinary, which can be called "catching dragons in the nine heavens and catching turtles in the four seas". Obviously, such talent should not be limited to the imperial guards, so the Qianlong Emperor decided to reconcile Shen out of the imperial guards and rose all the way up, and finally he was promoted to the position of Minister of Military Aircraft.

In the emperor's mind, He Shen has always been his most trusted courtier. Whether it is dealing with political affairs or suppressing **, Heshen can do it in an orderly manner. Even if the emperor wants a private visit to Weifu, he can help the emperor arrange everything and ensure the emperor's comfort and safety.

Although Emperor Qianlong knew that He Shen had ** behavior, he still chose to tolerate it. Because most of the wealth obtained by He Shen ** was used for disaster relief, which was the most important thing for the emperor.

In addition, He Shen would regularly collect rare treasures to present to the emperor, which made the emperor very satisfied. He Shen's status in the imperial court was unmatched. He is more capable than other ministers, and he is more caring than other caring ministers.

He was able to handle things decisively and won the respect and trust of the emperor. Therefore, the ministers in the court knew that He Shen was the emperor's greatest umbrella. Even if they are dissatisfied with Ho Shen's actions, they must be patient.

Some ministers would even give gifts to He Shen, hoping that he would say good things in front of the emperor. In general, He Shen won the trust and favor of the emperor by virtue of his ability and caring.

His presence made the operation of the imperial court smoother and the life of the emperor more colorful.

Emperor Qianlong was sober and rational, and believed that He Shen was his indispensable right-hand man and financial expert. However, the Jiaqing Emperor had a different view of He Shen, who he considered to be a moth to the imperial court.

Emperor Jiaqing was deeply influenced by his teacher Liu Yong, who resolutely opposed the ** filthy officials with his upright character, which also deeply affected Emperor Jiaqing. Emperor Jiaqing has been waiting for Emperor Qianlong to pass on the throne, and then dispose of Heshen.

Emperor Jiaqing's hostility made He Shen unable to ignore, he knew that he could not easily offend any prince, so he tried to show favor many times, but Emperor Jiaqing did not buy it.

Although He Shen is greedy, he knows how to grasp the bottom line, and he is cautious about the emperor's establishment of a prince, only according to Emperor Qianlong's love for the prince, to figure out the emperor's intentions, in order to please the prince.

After Emperor Jiaqing ascended the throne, he was the first to point the finger at He Shen, and he assigned his subordinates to collect evidence of He Shen's crimes.

After He Shen's house was raided, Emperor Jiaqing decided to severely punish this **, and finally gave him a three-foot white silk, ending his life. Subsequently, all the wealth of the He Shen family was confiscated and put into the treasury, which allowed the wealth of the Qianlong Emperor to be smoothly handed over to his son during his lifetime.
