During the Qianlong period, there was a unique official. His name was Li Shiyao, and he was called the dignity of Chen Han.
Li Shiyao is the fourth grandson of second-class Li Yongfang. His father, Li, was an official of the Ministry of Finance. After his death, the Qing court has been trying to hunt him down. Li Shiyao was named Yin Zhangjing in the early years of Qianlong, and was valued by Emperor Qianlong when he first entered the officialdom. Reluctantly moved to Zhenglan Banner, the deputy commander of the Han army. In the fifty-second year of Qianlong (1787), Taiwan Province Lin uprising, the Qing court was transferred to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and stayed in the Hanjiang River. At that time, the former governors of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, Changqing, led troops across the sea to Taiwan Province Province. Li Shiyao thought the troops were insufficient, so he sent troops from Guangdong and Guangxi to help. Considering that the rebels who occupied the stupid port would rob and rob food and machinery, they allocated original boats to stop Luwei Gate 2 and Luzai Port respectively, and Emperor Qianlong rewarded Li Shiyao with a carefully planned action. Because the rebellion lasted for a long time, Emperor Qianlong thought Changqing was not a general and ordered Fu Kang 'an to go to Taiwan Province Province to lead the troops for the general. And sent an order to Changqing to return to Fujian, and then planned an attack after Fu Kang 'an arrived. Li Shiyao was afraid that Evergreen would reveal the will of the imperial court and lead to confusion, so he secretly sent it to plead guilty. Emperor Qianlong was very happy and awarded him "deep fit, minister body." After Taiwan Province Province was pacified, the Qing court ordered him to still attack the count.
Li Shiyao's great-grandfather was the first general of the Qing Dynasty, who made great contributions. Nurhachi personally gave him the favor of surviving three times and made him a second-class uncle. Li Shiyao's father, also served as a minister in the book.
Such a prominent family background is very rare among Han ministers. Qianlong once promoted Li Shiyao to deputy commander-in-chief of Manchuria, but this position was always Manchu, and the court opposed it. Many Manchu ministers directly wrote to the emperor to demand the revocation of this appointment, saying that the appointment of Han ministers violated the patriarchal clan system. Gan flew into a rage and instructed in the memorial: "How does the great-grandson of Li Can Yong Fang compare with other Han armies? Since then, Li Shiyao has become more domineering in front of Manchu officials.
Qianlong
In the forty-five years of Qianlong, Haining, director of Yunnan Grain Management Institute, went to Beijing to report on his work. Li Shiyao is the governor of Guizhou and Yunnan provinces. Gan Long asked Haining how Li Shiyao was in power. Haining praised Li Shiyao, saying that he was honest and clean, and people in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces paid tribute to him. Ganlong was very happy and found Li Shiyao very disappointing.
But as soon as Haining left the Forbidden City, she said everywhere that Li Shiyao was insatiable and forced to ask for bribes. Said Li Shiyao found a middleman brought a string of beads, is a bargain, sent to the rich subordinates home, said the governor's adult just identified this thing worth two thousand two hundred pieces of silver, I heard that you like to collect jewelry, specially sold to you.
How dare subordinates say that the governor's comments are cheap and well aware, and they dare not refuse? I had to bite the bullet and buy beads. Two days later, Li Shiyao deliberately asked the idiot, I heard that you just bought a baby. Can you lend it to me? The subordinate immediately gave it to Li Shiyao, and then Li Shiyao bought it from other fools. In this way, Silver blew into the Governor's House like a strong wind.
Such gossip was spread to Gan Long by spies. Ganlong was furious, arrested Haining and asked him if it was true or not. At first Henin said she was drunk. After punishment, Haining finally admitted that it was Li Shiyao's actions in Yunnan, and it was not just this incident, but other corrupt things were a dime a dozen. Qianlong immediately sent assistant minister of punishments, Kanin, assistant minister and? Qian Feng set off for Yunnan to hunt down Li Shiyao.
And then what?
Was there any at that time? Although he was already an assistant minister, he still didn't get the attention of the emperor. Being an official in Beijing, a radish is a pit. How many people have stayed in one position all their lives? What about the government officials in this situation? Decided to seize the opportunity to climb up.
Three imperial envoys arrived in Yunnan, and the other two continued on their way. What else? However, he made a small plan. He thought he was the head of the investigation in Yunnan this time, or the right-hand man in the eyes of the emperor. If he is too ostentatious, there is no way to start. So use it? Take off your official clothes, remain anonymous, and spend all day in brothels and restaurants.
Soon, then what? I noticed a man. He is Zhao Yiheng, the big housekeeper in the office of Governor Li Shiyao. What else? Found this person in and out of casinos and brothels, spending money like water, all kinds of officials respect michel platini like adopted sons in front of him, and? Realizing that this person is a breakthrough, he decided decisively to secretly detain Zhao Yiheng and then beat Zhao Yiheng half to death. What else? Forge a confession of Li Shiyao, take it out and tell him that Li Shiyao has confessed. Zhao Yiheng has a guilty conscience, and he can't stand being punished. When he saw that his master had admitted, he exposed all the corruption in Li Shiyao.
And then what? After getting the confession, they worked out the plan of beheading and prison together with two other imperial envoys, but the Manchu ministers in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces made a scene and said it was peace? Cover it up, then what? I had to make a decision and present the horse to Qianlong for royal approval.
But at the last minute, Ganlong still thought of his great-grandfather's contribution to the Qing Dynasty and Nurhachi's honor of making the Li family immortal three times. Gan Long didn't write down the quasi-word, but cursed Li Shiyao, and then let Li Shiyao redeem oneself by good service. This time, Li Shiyao didn't disappoint Gan Long, and made outstanding achievements repeatedly. Eventually, it became one of the "12 outstanding figures of Ziguangge". Let many Manchu people itch.
And then what? This time, it won the favor of Qianlong. After the Li Shiyao case, what did Qianlong's favorite ten princesses marry? Feng?enyende, the eldest son, and? His official position was from an assistant minister, promoted again and again, and finally became a military officer, which also began his road to corruption.
