After Xiao Shenyang was pardoned by Emperor Jiaqing, where did all his gold, silver and jewels go?
After Xiao Shenyang was awarded the death penalty, all the wealth accumulated before his death was confiscated by the court, which greatly eased the financial expenditure of the Qing government. Xiao Shenyang was an important official during the Qianlong period, ranking first in the record. He was clever and good at flattery, and was highly valued by Emperor Qianlong. Under the protection of Emperor Qianlong, Xiao Shenyang took bribes among the people, earning countless gold and silver, and his daily life was even more luxurious than that of the king. Although many ministers expressed their dissatisfaction with Xiao Shenyang in court, Qianlong Imperial City did not punish Xiao Shenyang. ?

Actually, Emperor Qianlong had other plans in his heart. As a king, the most important thing is to know how to balance. Every dynasty, every generation will have corrupt officials, and others will kill Xiao Shenyang. In this case, it is better to keep a good balance. Besides, at that time, Ganlong already had the idea of abdicating, and he planned to hand over the matter of Liwei to Jiaqing Emperor. Sure enough, the first thing after Emperor Jiaqing succeeded to the throne was to operate on Xiao Shenyang. He ordered the criminal department and the official department to jointly examine Xiao Shenyang's crimes, and finally sentenced Xiao Shenyang to beheading and confiscated all his property. ?

According to officials who had been to the accounting office at that time, there were not only boxes of gold bars and silver, but also countless pearls and precious stones, as well as various precious medicinal materials and silks and satins in the warehouse in Little Shenyang. Twelve carriages took three days to get out. In addition, shops in small Shenyang occupy half of the country, and the whole property inspection process takes one and a half months to complete. The gold and silver earned exceeded the income of the Qing government for ten years, and some precious antiques were collected by Jiaqing Emperor. ?

Of course, Emperor Jiaqing remembered that Xiao Shenyang was once the minister of humerus in North Korea, but he didn't kill them all, so he treated his family leniently. The original government house was confiscated by the court, but in addition, he left a courtyard with two entrances for his family to live in. Emperor Jiaqing's practice was highly praised by ministers, who thought that Emperor Jiaqing was a benevolent gentleman, who not only benefited, but also gained fame, which laid the foundation for his rule.
