After the death of Emperor Qianlong 1796, the favorite courtier in Qianlong period, Emperor Jiaqing confiscated his property. Many people know that when Emperor Jiaqing copied the house in Shenyang, the national treasury was suddenly full, but do you know that when Emperor Jiaqing first raided the house, no gold, silver and jewelry were found, so where did all the money go?
It can be said that Xiao Shenyang was the biggest corrupt official in the whole Qing Dynasty. Being an official for decades, he is bold and has joined many businessmen to make money. With his official position and talent, from the statistics of later generations, we can know that little Shenyang is greedy for about 820 million silver. Here we compare it with 1840' s treaty of nanking. At that time, the Qing Dynasty needed to compensate Britain for 21000000 taels of silver, from which we can see how many times little Shenyang was insatiable for silver.
Then he stole so much money, so why didn't 1799 find it in his home? Then where did he put the money? I was in Jiaxing for four years, and I was ordered to copy the soldiers of the small Shenyang family, and turned the small Shenyang family upside down, but only found tens of thousands of silver.
After getting the news, Emperor Jiaqing was not a fool. He knew that little Shenyang must have put the money somewhere else, so he immediately made a will with only two words, that is, "check it again", and then asked these soldiers to check it again, hoping to find all the property of little Shenyang and enrich it to the country.
After receiving this will, the two princes began to check it again, but unfortunately they still couldn't find it. Just when they were disheartened, suddenly a soldier accidentally bumped into the wall while carrying furniture. I didn't expect the wall to make a strange noise. Now they all know that the wall is empty.
At once, they smashed these walls and all the gold and silver flowed out. This suddenly exposed all the property of Xiao Shenyang. Gold and silver jewelry flowed all over the floor, and the carriage was used dozens of times, which shows how big the amount of his corruption is.
Jiaxing copied all the homes of Xiao Shenyang on 1799. At that time, it announced the number of all the jewels in the imperial court. In the motion announced by Jiaqing, only more than 3 million yuan was announced, which was obviously inconsistent with the reality, but some courtiers chose silence because the emperor spoke in person.
Just then, a courtier stood up and questioned him, but Emperor Jiaqing suddenly got angry. And fined Zhao Gao, saying that the case of Xiao Shenyang should not be mentioned again after it was settled. Although I don't know why he did this, the whole world knows that the corruption case in Little Shenyang involves the face of the royal family, so Emperor Jiaqing tried to hide it.
