According to records, although Xiao Shenyang was insatiable, he knew many languages, which was a scarce talent in the Qing Dynasty at that time, so he kept Xiao Shenyang and didn't kill him because he could be executed at any time.
In order to create more opportunities for Jiaqing, Qianlong deliberately left little Shenyang. Such a corrupt official is known to all the people in the country. Qianlong was killed by Jiaqing after Jiaqing ascended the throne. Wouldn't it be easier to be in charge of the Qing dynasty if it complied with the people's hearts?
Second, the sweet words of Xiao Shenyang led to the unbearable killing of Qianlong, but it provoked Jiaqing to cause a murder. Xiao Shenyang is very satisfied with Ganlong. This is a fact. It is said that even if Qianlong coughed in front of him, Xiao Shenyang could put the sputum basin on his mouth.
Although Qianlong likes small Shenyang, Jiaqing doesn't. Jiaqing watched the money belonging to his own vault be swallowed by Xiao Shenyang, but Xiao Shenyang liked it so much that he had to take it himself.
When Qianlong died, Jiaqing pretended to wake up Xiao Shenyang, and then ordered Wang Jie to copy Xiao Shenyang's home directly, just to fill his treasury and want to get all his money back. After all, he was an orthodox emperor, and the Qing Dynasty was his own.
In fact, no matter how to please Qianlong, little Shenyang can't avoid death because he is too rich. Qianlong didn't kill him because he could please him. Qianlong is unwilling to give up, so Jiaqing doesn't like Shenyang, but he is a fat sheep to be slaughtered. After Jiaqing defeated small Shenyang, there were rumors among the people: small Shenyang fell and Jiaqing was full. It can be seen how rich small Shenyang is, which is why small Shenyang will be directly executed by Jiaqing.
An adult with a pistol can frighten wolves, but a child with a pistol is nothing. Qianlong left Jiaqing with a messy dynasty. If we don't find some money to fill the state treasury, the Qing Dynasty will be abolished.
In short, even if Xiao Shenyang survived the death of Qianlong, it would be confiscated by Jiaqing and eventually become a prisoner.
