On the third day of the first month of the fourth year of Jiaqing, Emperor Qianlong died of illness in the Yangxin Palace. On the day of Qianlong's death, Emperor Jiaqing ordered that Heshen and Fuchang should be responsible for the funeral of the first emperor, and they were on duty day and night in the funeral hall, and they were not allowed to enter and leave at will without the permission of Emperor Jiaqing; Not only that, Emperor Jiaqing also took away the posts of Minister of Military Aircraft and Admiral of Jiumen. **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
At the same time, Emperor Jiaqing called He Shen and Fu Chang'an to him, and said to He Shen: "You are a close minister of the first emperor, the chief military minister or a cabinet scholar; I just got in charge of the government and relied on the Xianggong for everything, and I hope that the Xianggong can live up to the entrustment of the previous emperor and assist me well. Now that the first emperor is in mourning, you are fully responsible for the funeral, and after the funeral, the official will be reinstated. ”
After explaining to He Shen, Emperor Jiaqing turned his head to Fu Chang'an and said: "When the first emperor was here, you and Xianggong (Jiaqing's honorific title for He Shen) accompanied and served day and night, and I am very grateful; Now I hereby order you and Xianggong to be fully responsible for the funeral of the first emperor, and temporarily remove you from your posts as Minister of Military Aircraft."
Obviously, He Shen and Fu Chang'an were deceived by Emperor Jiaqing's sweet words, and the two of them stayed in the funeral hall with peace of mind, but they didn't know that Jiaqing had stepped up the pace of getting rid of the two.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Jiaqing directly questioned the Military Aircraft Department because of the unfavorable conquest of the White Lotus Sect, and He Shen was the former chief military minister, so he was naturally the main target of Emperor Jiaqing;
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Jiaqing directly announced that all the big and small things in the court were complete"Seal Secret", took back the power of the court; Jiaqing's move was to tell the courtiers that he wanted to get rid of He Shen and Fu Chang'an.
Under the hint of Emperor Jiaqing, Yushi Guangxing and others began to ** Heshen and Fu Chang'an.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Jiaqing directly ordered to arrest He Shen and Fu Chang'an before the first emperor Ling and put them in prison.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Jiaqing began to cut off Heshen's comrades:
Zuodu Yushi Wu Province Lan Gezhi (He Shen's teacher when he was in Xian'an Palace).
The squire Li Huang was demoted to editor.
Su Lingling, a university scholar, was dismissed and rushed to guard the Yuling Tomb, the tomb of Emperor Qianlong.
And He Shen was convicted of 22 major sins and committed suicide on the eighteenth day of the first month. The ministers of the court and the central government suggested that He Shen Lingchi be executed, but Emperor Jiaqing saw that He Shen was the favored minister of the first emperor and the father-in-law of Princess Hexiao, so he left a whole corpse of He Shen.
And the Heshen Mansion will be confiscated, there is such a sentence about Heshen's family property, "Heshen fell and Jiaqing was full", which shows that Heshen's ** property is huge. As Heshen's sworn friend, Fu Chang'an is second only to Heshen in his first degree, and the ministers suggested that Fu Chang'an be beheaded, but Emperor Jiaqing did not do so, but changed it to "behead the prisoner".
However, it didn't take long for Fu Chang'an to change to the position of foreign officer; And in Jiaqing, he slowly recovered, and achieved the unification of the Yellow Banner and the deputy capital of Manchuria. As Heshen's sworn friend, Fu Chang'an, known as "Erheshen", not only was not executed but died well, why is this?
Everyone may be a little unfamiliar with Fu Chang'an, but if it comes to his half-brotherFukanganI think everyone is familiar with it. Fukangan is a great general during the Qianlong Dynasty, a very popular minister, although he is not a child of the clan, but when he was alive, he was named Beizi by Qianlong, and after his death, he was directly posthumously named the king of the county. Even Fu Kangan's father, Fu Heng, also gave him the title of county king.
I have to admit that the family from Fu Chang'an was really the noblest of the nobles in the Qianlong Dynasty.
How prominent is the Fucha clan where Fu Chang'an is located, which will make Emperor Jiaqing jealous?
During the period of Nurhachi, the Taizu of the Qing Dynasty, there was a queen-level person in the Fucha family, who was the second concubine of Nurhachi (Nurhachi did not claim the title of emperor from beginning to end, and the concubine was equivalent to the position of the queen) Fuchagundai. Although Gundai was married to Nurhachi for the second time with children, he was very favored and was the longest in the concubine position among Nurhachi's four concubines. Nurhachi trusted him very much, and the affairs of the harem and the financial expenditures were all taken care of by Gundai. Not only that, but Gundai also gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Nurhachi.
However, the Fuchang'an and Taizu's concubine Gon Dynasty are both Shaji Fucha clan (Shaji Fucha clan is the most prominent branch of the Fucha clan), but not a branch, their common ancestors can be traced back to Fucha Tandu, and the descendants of Tandu can be divided into two branches: one is the father of the Gon Dynasty, Mangsedu Zhuhu, and the other is the ancestor of Fuchang'an, Wangjinu.
The sons of Tandu all betrayed the Ming court, but Zhu Hu was exterminated by the Ming court, and the descendants of the Gun Dynasty withered because they offended Taizu; And after Wangjinu's branch returned to Taizu Nurhachi, it was not only reused by Taizu, but also prosperous for future generations.
Beginning with Wangjinu, Fu Chang'an's ancestors served in the Manchu Qing Dynasty:
Wangjinu's grandson Hashtun was the ancestor of Fu Chang'an, and he served as the assistant leader after returning to the Jin Dynasty; After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he served as the Ministry of Rites to participate in politics, and when he arrived in the Shunzhi Dynasty, Hashtun was among the ministers of parliament; It was only because he resolutely supported Emperor Shunzhi that he offended Dolgon, and was briefly suppressed by Dolgon, and after Dolgon died of illness, Emperor Shunzhi reactivated Hashtun.
Fu Chang'an's great-grandfather Mi Sihan also became an important minister of the imperial court, and became Kangxi's confidant because he supported Kangxi's abolition of the three feudatories; It's a pity that Mi Sihan died of overwork in office, and when Mi Sihan died of illness, he was already among the ministers of parliament and the secretary of the ministry, and he was a veritable extremely popular minister.
Because of Mi Sihan, Kangxi attached great importance to his four sons, and it was Fu Chang'an's grandfather's generation. Whether it is Fu Chang'an's grandfather or uncle's grandfather, all of them have become important ministers of the imperial court:
His grandfather, Li Rongbao, was the governor of Chahar.
His uncle's grandfather, Muska, held the rank of Minister of the Guard.
His uncle's grandfather, Ma Wu, served as the leader of the Yellow Banner and the Minister of the Interior.
Uncle Ma Qi not only entered the cabinet to pay respects, but also was the confidant of Kangxi Yongzheng.
In the Yongzheng Dynasty, although his uncle Ma Qi had supported the eighth son of the emperor Yinxi to compete for the crown, he still had to be reused by Emperor Yongzheng. Yongzheng even married Ma Qi's niece and Li Rongbao's daughter Fucha Xu to Hongli as a concubine. Those who know Yongzheng should know that Hongli at this time is already a sure future emperor, and if nothing else, Fucha is the future queen.
Yongzheng attaches so much importance to the Fucha clan, which shows that during the Yongzheng Dynasty, the power of the Fucha clan was not inferior to other noble families: the Niu Hulu family, the Tong Jia clan and the Nala family and other traditional noble families.
It is precisely because the Fucha clan has become the Fujin of Hongli that the Fucha clan reached its peak during the Qianlong Dynasty.
After Qianlong ascended the throne, Fucha was named Empress of the Main Palace (Empress Xiaoxian); Although Empress Xiaoxian was selected by Yongzheng for Qianlong, Qianlong loved Empress Xiaoxian very much, for Qianlong, Empress Xiaoxian was like a white moonlight, and Empress Xiaoxian was very respected in the harem, and the concubines and the queen mother respected this queen of the world.
Qianlong even designated Empress Xiaoxian's eldest son Yonglian as the crown prince when he was only 6 years old, but unfortunately Yonglian died at the age of 9. Qianlong posthumously buried the crown prince Duanhui, even if Empress Xiaoxian died of illness in the thirteenth year of Qianlong, Qianlong still did not ignore Empress Xiaoxian's maiden family, but reused it more.
Fu Chang'an's father, Fu Heng, that is, the younger brother of Empress Xiaoxian, achieved the position of chief military minister step by step, and was awarded the title of first-class duke for his outstanding military exploits, and he was a very popular minister;
Fu Heng's four sons:
Because of his early death, he was given the position of lieutenant of a light car.
Fu Longan became a Heshuo forehead, not only married the fourth daughter of the emperor and Princess Jia, but also inherited the position of a first-class duke.
Fukangan is even more remarkable, and was directly posthumously crowned the king of the county, which is the only one in the nearly 300-year history of the Qing Dynasty.
As for Fu Heng's fourth son, he is Fu Chang'an, the protagonist of this article.
In addition to Fu Heng's father and son, the Fucha clan entered the court as officials during the Qianlong Dynasty and were reused
Fucha. Fu Qing.
Fucha. Fu Qian.
Fucha. Mingrui.
Fucha. Explicit.
Born in such a family, Emperor Jiaqing naturally would not easily get rid of Fu Chang'an.
Of course, the reason why Emperor Jiaqing left Fu Chang'an was not only because of his family, but also for other reasons.
Fu Chang'an is not Fu Heng's son-in-law, but was born to the Li family in the side room. As for Fu Heng's other three sons, all of them were born to the Yehenala clan of Changfujin, and the Yehenala clan was the great-granddaughter of Nalan Mingzhu, a famous minister of the Kangxi Dynasty.
Although Fu Changan was born in the side room, Fu Chang'an's treatment since he was a child was not bad with his sister-in-law Fu Kangan and others.
Because his father Fu Heng is a general with great military achievements, the existence of a very popular minister, and because the Fu Chang'an brothers are the nephews of Empress Xiaoxian, QianlongFukangan and Fuchangan were allowed to enter the palace and accompany the princes to study together。In other words, not only Fukangan grew up in the palace, but Fuchangan also has such an honor.
CoincidentallyFu Chang'an and Jiaqing Emperor Yongyan were born in the same year, all born in the twenty-fifth year of Qianlong. As playmates of the same age, the relationship between the two is naturally more intimate. In other words: Yongyan and Fu Chang'an grew up together, and their natural friendship is different.
Although Fu Heng died of illness on the way back to Beijing in the thirty-fourth year of Qianlong, that is, when Fu Chang'an was only 10 years old; But it still did not affect the future of Fu Chang'an, Fu Chang'an entered the office through the Lan Ling guard (the standard configuration is 90 people, is six products), Qianlong forty-four years, only 20 years old has been ranked in the Ministry of Industry right Lang and the deputy capital of the Yellow Banner Han Army.
It can be seen that the starting point of Fu Chang'an is very high, and in the 45th year of Qianlong, Fu Chang'an has already entered the military aircraft to learn to walk.
Those who know the history of the Qing Dynasty should know the importance of the military aircraft in the Qing Dynasty, Fu Chang'an was only 21 years old, and Qianlong had already allowed him to study in the military aircraft department, which shows its cultivation and reuse. Only four months after entering the military aircraft department to study, Qianlong gave Fu Chang'an a special honor and rode a horse in the Forbidden City.
According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty: only old court ministers who are over sixty years old can apply to the emperor for riding horses in the Forbidden City, and the emperor can only do so after the emperor agrees. At this time, Fu Chang'an was not an important minister of the court, nor did he make any contributions, let alone an old minister; But Qianlong still gave him such an honor, it is worth mentioning that Fu Chang'an's third brother Fu Kangan was rewarded with this honor in Qianlong's 40 years, Qianlong's 40 years of Fu Kangan has been in the pacification of the Jinchuan Battle of the Great and Small Empire, and won this honor by virtue of his military exploits.
Fu Chang'an was able to get this, in addition to Qianlong's memory of his father Fu Heng and aunt Empress Xiaoxian, it was also for the sake of his third brother Fukangan's face. To put it bluntly, Qianlong was honored in the Fucha clan, and in the forty-ninth year of Qianlong, Fu Chang'an had been awarded the position of Minister of the Interior by Jia'en.
Only a month later, because the Hui uprising in Qinghai and Gansu was suppressed, Qianlong was overjoyed, and discussed the industrious contributions of Fu Chang'an, Dong Huan and other military aircraft Zhang Jingzhong together, and added military merits.
In the fifty-first year of Qianlong, because there was a vacancy in the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, Qianlong asked Fu Chang'an to fill it; Immediately afterwards, there was a vacancy in the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, and Qianlong asked Fu Chang'an to take it over.
Obviously, Fu Chang'an also has the style of a father and brother, and he is not a noble son who lives only on the shadow of his ancestors; If you don't have real talent and real learning, you will never be so reused by Qianlong, although Qianlong is conceited, he is not stupid.
In the fifty-third year of Qianlong, Taiwan's Lin Shuangwen uprising was pacified, and Qianlong Nian discussed again in Fu Chang'an during this period of sleepless sleep and due diligence (for the ** with excellent results, rewards such as grades and records).
The following year, Fu Chang'an took over the post of Chongwenmen tax, Chongwenmen tax is an important ** tax in the capital, according to the practice of the Qing Dynasty, this position can only be held by the banner person, which shows how important this position is. He Shen had concurrently served as the tax officer of Chongwenmen in the forty-third year of Qianlong, perhaps it was precisely because Fu Chang'an gradually became an important minister of the imperial court, or a relative of the emperor that Qianlong attached great importance to, that he could get into the eyes of He Shen, and He Shen tried all kinds of ways to curry favor with him, and successfully let Fu Chang'an get on his own thief ship.
In fact, Fu Chang'an's third brother Fu Kang'an doesn't look down on He Shen at all. It should be said that in the Qianlong Dynasty, there were very few people who He Shen was really afraid of, and Fukangan was one of them. Xiang Fukangan, a famous man with great military achievements, a great minister, and a big celebrity in the eyes of Qianlong, is still the son-in-law of the Guixun family, and it is normal to look down on He Shen.
Fu Chang'an is different, although he is from the same noble family, but after all, he is a concubine, so he will naturally be "inferior".
For Heshen, it is also easier to tie up.
In the fifty-fifth year of Qianlong, Fu Chang'an, Dong Huan and others added the title of prince and young prince.
Two years later, the Qing court quelled the Gurkha Rebellion, and Fu Chang'an's third brother Fu Kangan was the biggest hero, and his portrait ranked first in Ziguang Pavilion; And Fu Chang'an also contributed to this battle, and his portrait as a hero was also hung in the Ziguang Pavilion.
Jiaqing three years, the chief military minister A Gui died and Shen took over the position of chief military minister, before this Fu Chang'an's third brother Fu Kangan had died of illness in the first year of Jiaqing, in the face of the White Lotus uprising, the Qing court handed over this important task to Fu Chang'an, Fu Chang'an not only suppressed Wang Sanhuai's uprising, but also captured Wang Sanhuai alive. With this credit,Fu Chang'an was given the hereditary title of Marquis of the First Rank.
In fact, when we look at the smooth first half of Fu Chang'an's life, he was not a mediocre minister, but a cadre; If he hadn't been in the same league as He Shen, he would definitely be as famous as his three elder brothers, but because he became He Shen's sworn friend, his originally smooth career became a little bumpy, and he was almost executed.
Fortunately, Emperor Jiaqing did not follow the advice of the courtiers and directly beheaded Chang'an, but instead beheaded the prisoner. When He Shen committed suicide and died, let Fu Changan go to watch the execution.
Beheading means waiting for the autumn to be beheaded or waiting for the next court review, which means that Fu Chang'an will not necessarily be beheaded. Sure enough, Fu Chang'an was not executed, but was sent by Emperor Jiaqing to Qianlong's imperial mausoleum Yuling as a messenger for tea, and it didn't take long for him to be promoted to the position of foreign lang.
Although Fu Chang'an at this time is one heaven and one underground compared with the Qianlong Dynasty, being able to live peacefully is already the greatest happiness for Fu Chang'an. In the sixth year of Jiaqing, Fu Chang'an asked Emperor Jiaqing to return to the capital, and Emperor Jiaqing was angry and took away his position as a foreigner, and directly assigned Sheng Jing to make armor.
Fu Chang'an is not an incompetent person, relying on his own efforts step by step to be promoted to the chief soldier of Malan Town, and acting as the governor of Gubeikou; But he was exiled again for making mistakes.
In the twenty-first year of Jiaqing, the 57-year-old Fu Chang'an was awarded the post of deputy capital of Manchuria under the Zhenghuang Banner.
From the fourth year of Jiaqing to the twenty-first year of Jiaqing, Fu Chang'an's life can be said to be ups and downs; This is the result of Fu Chang'an as a dead party with Heshen, and finally when Fu Chang'an was about to reach the age of the sixtieth year, Emperor Jiaqing looked at the face of the Fucha clan and the friendship between the two of them, and granted him the position of deputy capital unification, so that he could enjoy his old age in peace.
It's a pity that Fu Chang'an died of illness after only one year in the position of deputy capital.
In fact, for the case of He Shen, Emperor Jiaqing just wanted to make an example of him, and did not want to eradicate all the forces related to Shen, after all, most of the ** in the court are related to He Shen, if of course all of them are eliminated, no one will do anything for Jiaqing anymore.
From the death of Emperor Qianlong to the suicide of He Shen, it took only seven days, which shows that Emperor Jiaqing handled the case quickly and seriously.
Since the goal of killing one and setting an example has been achieved, it will naturally not harm others.
Even the Korean envoys spoke very highly of Emperor Jiaqing's handling of the case of Heshen:
"After Hekun disposed of it, everyone said that the emperor had three virtues...If you don't govern the party, you can't do anything. So that the ministers and workers of all sizes, wash their hearts and minds, and make their own peace;It can be seen that Emperor Jiaqing can open up to the "Erheshen" Fu Chang'an network, and it is also the side of "benevolence".
