1799 On February 7th, a great event happened in the Qing Palace.

This incident has a great impact, and many people's life trajectories have changed because of this incident. This event is the death of Emperor Qianlong, who lived for 89 years.

When Qianlong died, some people were happy and others were sad.

The happiest person is Emperor Jiaqing who succeeded to the throne. At this point, he is almost 40 years old. Although Jiaqing became emperor before Qianlong died, Jiaqing could not be in power as long as Qianlong was in office.

The saddest person is Xiao Shenyang. During the whole Qianlong period, little Shenyang was favored to an unparalleled degree. Ganlong is better for Xiao Shenyang than for his own son. A courtier can do this, really no one.

Jiaqing was very unwilling, but he was helpless. Who made Xiao Shenyang and Gan Long good enough to wear a pair of pants?

However, the Qing Dynasty belonged to Aisingiorro after all, and Jiaqing had to wait for death. Fortunately, Jiaqing has arrived, which means that the good days of small Shenyang are over.

Sure enough, after the death of Qianlong, Jiaqing couldn't wait to operate on Xiao Shenyang. What makes Jiaqing happy is not his hatred for small Shenyang, but the aristocratic property left by small Shenyang.

Xiao Shenyang is rich and a notorious corrupt official, so how much money does he have? To describe it in four words is countless. If there was a Forbes rich list at that time, Xiao Shenyang would definitely be among the top ten.

So, where did the money in Little Shenyang come from? There are various ways, which can be summarized as follows: the emperor gave it to him, others gave it to him and earned it himself. Of course, most of them are greedy.

In the Qing Dynasty, real money and silver were hard currency, but little Shenyang thought it was too ostentatious to accept these things. The key is that they are not easy to store and easy to be caught. Later, he made a rule: this year, he didn't accept gifts, let alone real money and silver, but only antique calligraphy and painting as gifts, which was invented by Xiao Shenyang and has been used to this day.

Shenyang: Looking at the whole Qing Dynasty, who else is more glorious than the Prince except me? How much does Gan Long love Shenyang? In fact, it is beyond the scope of words. The affection between them is very deep. Gan Long married his ten favorite princesses to Xiao Shenyang's eldest son and named them Feng?enyende himself.

In addition, what is interesting about Qianlong will make small Shenyang appreciate tasting, and what good things small Shenyang gets will also be dedicated to Qianlong, and small Shenyang is still a private bank of Qianlong. When he is short of money, small Shenyang will be in emergency, so they are both monarch and subjects, but also partners and inseparable interests.

In the last few years after Ganlong abdicated, he was still alive. Because of his age, he often can't hear the minister clearly and can't say his will. Fortunately, little Shenyang understands him, and his will always comes from little Shenyang. As a result, Xiao Shenyang became the "second emperor" recognized by the court.

Under such circumstances, can Jiaqing, who succeeded to the throne as king, feel better?

Of course not, but he is not satisfied and can only stare, but Qianlong will not live forever, and Jiaqing does not have to do anything. He just needs to wait, wait for the burp, and then kill the goose that lays the golden egg, so that Xiao Shenyang has accumulated all his wealth, all of which is his own.

Shenyang: I like gold, silver and silver, but there are too many of them. As we all know, little Shenyang loves money, and he can't wait to move all the wealth in the world to his home. Small Shenyang basically does not let go of any way to collect money. He took advantage of his position to accept bribes, relying on money to open pawn shops, build houses and contract land. This is not like a big official, it is clearly a profiteer.

However, whether small Shenyang is an official or greedy for money, it is impeccable. So how much money does small Shenyang have? We can draw a conclusion according to the number of reports from Wang Mian and the Ministry of Internal Affairs when the small Shenyang mansion was raided.

More than 33,500 taels of gold, 3114,000 taels of silver, and 26,300 taels of principal and interest (cash); There are twenty pawn shops and money houses (shops) in Little Shenyang and Slave. Rent 10 1 room and a half (house); Leased land 1260 hectares (land).

It should be emphasized that these properties do not include treasures, antiques, calligraphy and painting in the Little Shenyang Palace.

Money is a number, but for small Shenyang, even if there is more gold and silver, it is still the same. It is too eye-catching to put too much at home. No matter how big the yard is, it can be blind in the dark.

When he was tired of looking at real money, Xiao Shenyang had a new idea, that is, he turned to collect antiques, calligraphy and painting and other antiques. Needless to say, the image of small Shenyang immediately became "tall", and it was no longer as tacky as collecting money before.

The bribery method invented by Xiao Shenyang has been used to this day. For example, on holidays, people don't send money, wine, cigarettes or supermarket cards. Therefore, it is really necessary to kneel down to adults and collect money to a new height. Hundreds of years later, it is still imitated by opportunistic people. This is really a bad example.

Shenyang: I tried my best to collect funds, but in the end, I was completely accepted by the guy in Jiaqing. I don't think Xiao Shenyang is an honest official. He is determined not to take bribes, but once he does something, he will become addicted. Corruption is an addictive thing for small Shenyang.

1780 haining, a provincial judge in Yunnan province, exposed Li Shiyao, a college student and governor of Yunnan-Guizhou province, for alleged corruption. Since there was a real name report from the minister, Ganlong naturally ignored it, so he ordered Xiao Shenyang to go to Yunnan to investigate the case.

When Xiao Shenyang got there, he opened a hole to collect money, and then his appetite grew bigger and bigger. Li Shiyao is really corrupt, and Xiao Shenyang ransacked his family fortune, which opened his eyes, because he had never seen so much money.

Little Shenyang changed his mind about the money, so he secretly detained some of it. Anyway, Qianlong didn't know how much money Li Shiyao was greedy for. Afterwards, Qianlong really didn't have the slightest doubt, but instead gave many treasures to Xiao Shenyang. In this way, small Shenyang completely fell.

But what about this? Little Shenyang can't spend all the money he embezzled, nor can he take it away. Even his son Feng?enyende didn't get much, because all the money went into Jiaqing's pocket. As the saying goes, small Shenyang fell, and Jiaqing was full.

The ending of small Shenyang is very tragic. If his daughter-in-law, Gu Lun and Princess Xiao, had not pleaded with Emperor Jiaqing, they might have been killed this year. In the end, I just gave him a white silk to commit suicide, which is really embarrassing.

But if Xiao Shenyang is given another chance to start over, maybe he will. After all, he loves money and deserves no sympathy. Do you agree?
