In a.d. 1799, emperor Jiaqing was finally able to get rid of the emperor's father, Qianlong. The first thing he did was to revoke Xiao Shenyang's official position and put Xiao Shenyang in prison. A few days later, Xiao Shenyang was sentenced to death in his cell. At this point, the famous corrupt official Xiao Shenyang in history ended his 49-year-old life.
Xiao Shenyang is a favorite of Qianlong, and his son married Qianlong's daughter and naturally became a relative. With the increase of power in his hands, small Shenyang has become more and more brave. He colluded with others and searched for wealth everywhere. He also used his official position to run hundreds of pawn shops and banks, which can be said to be the best. When Jiaqing dealt with small Shenyang, he investigated the property of small Shenyang, which was equivalent to the sum of the fiscal revenue of the Qing government in 15 years at that time. This greed is really shocking.
After Jiaqing ascended the throne, he basically handled some unimportant political affairs, and the power was still in the hands of Emperor Taizong Ganlong. In the fourth year of Jiaqing, Qianlong died, and Jiaqing could finally lead the country. He appointed Liu Yonghao as Taibao, responsible for investigating and handling corruption and collusion in Shenyang. Liu Yong found out the 20 major crimes of small Shenyang and reported them to the emperor. Jiaqing immediately imprisoned Xiao Shenyang and quickly executed Xiao Shenyang. Xiao Shenyang and Ji Xiaolan are not sworn enemies as the TV series said. In fact, Ji Xiaolan has the demeanor of a small Shenyang. When Xiao Shenyang first entered politics, Ji Xiaolan had been trying to get around for years. He gave a lot of advice to Xiao Shenyang in officialdom and life. Later, when Ji Xiaolan was eighty years old, Emperor Jiaqing personally gave him a birthday present. At the age of eighty-one, Ji Xiaolan died.
