There is an old saying in China that "pigs should be fattened before they are killed". Many people say that small Shenyang is the "food ration" left by Qianlong to his son Jiaqing, but the relationship between Qianlong and small Shenyang is not the relationship between pig farmers and pigs, but the relationship between Qianlong and small Shenyang is more like a "symbiotic" relationship.

First of all, Gan Long has a good eye for talents. Speaking of Gan Long, we all know that Gan Long is a very capable emperor, and he has the second longest reign and the longest life span in the Qing Dynasty. During the 60 years of the Qing Dynasty, the population of China exceeded 1 100 million for the first time, and Xinjiang was formally incorporated into the territory of China, which made the development of China reach the peak of the imperial era.

Can't such a great emperor see the corruption crime in Little Shenyang? If you see the corruption in small Shenyang, why didn't Qianlong punish small Shenyang? Here, Gu Lai will explain to you how the relationship between Gan Long and He changed from the relationship between monarch and minister to the symbiotic relationship step by step.

1773, Qianlong was thirty-eight years old. 23-year-old Shenyang got the chance to meet you. Little Shenyang knew that the opportunity was hard-won, so he showed his lifelong talent in front of Gan Long. Because Xiao Shenyang studied in Xian 'an Palace, he read through the four books and five classics. What is even more rare is that he is also proficient in Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian and Tibetan, so he won the appreciation of Qianlong. Finally, Qianlong made him the minister in charge of the warehouse (that is, the official in charge of the royal cloth).

Second, small Shenyang is cautious. Although the minister in charge of the warehouse is very small, Xiao Shenyang did not despise this hard-won opportunity. During the period of managing cloth, he managed the cloth warehouse in an orderly way through his earnest study and shrewd ability, and also increased the cloth inventory in the cloth warehouse. Therefore, small Shenyang is not as simple as ordinary officials in the eyes of Qianlong: small Shenyang can actually turn losses into profits!

Gan Longgang looked up at Xiao Shenyang, but Xiao Shenyang seized the opportunity. After two years as Minister of Finance, he was promoted to the rank of Imperial Guards, Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Housing, Minister of Military Affairs, Minister of Interior, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Huangqi Manchuria, which is a rapid rise.

But Xiao Shenyang was not a corrupt official at first, or he restrained his corrupt nature when he didn't gain enough trust and ability. For example, in the forty-five years of Qianlong, Xiao Shenyang was responsible for investigating the bribery case of Li Shiyao, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. In this case, Xiao Shenyang can be said to be impartial, and the fairness and justice of this case are justified. So he left an honest and capable impression in Qianlong's heart. Later, as long as Gan Long told him, Xiao Shenyang did a beautiful job and did it with Gan Long's mind.

Third, Xiao Shenyang and Gan Long eat meat together. Many times, there is not much difference between running a country and supporting a family. Small Shenyang, which is careful and can bring revenue to the national treasury, is becoming more and more important in the eyes of Qianlong. With the superior position of Little Shenyang, the civil and military officials in the Qing Dynasty turned to Little Shenyang as long as they wanted to do things and get promoted. It is estimated that it is difficult for anyone to manage the glistening money. Coupled with the policy of rehabilitation and the extravagant life in his later years, Xiao Shenyang's appetite became more and more greedy. It is said that all things that pay tribute to the emperor in Little Shenyang must receive the same thing, otherwise the people who pay tribute will be in trouble.

In the forty-five years of Qianlong, Xiao Shenyang wrote to Qianlong, suggesting the establishment of a bargaining bank system, that is, officials can pay a certain amount of money to offset their crimes. For example, if you are sentenced to exile and pay the bargaining price, the bank will be fined up to three years. Then the emperor who turned in the toll bank wouldn't personally manage it, and he didn't have the energy to manage it. Therefore, the focus of collecting and managing money naturally fell on the Ministry. As a minister of the Ministry, Little Shenyang is naturally an advantage. How much money was collected, how it was collected, where it went afterwards, and how much was reported to the emperor, all because of Xiao Shenyang's mouth. Therefore, when Qianlong celebrated his 80th birthday, he didn't spend a penny or two from the national treasury. All the celebration expenses came from suing the bank. In this way, Emperor Qianlong is naturally happy to blossom, and the purse of Little Shenyang is also full of fat.

Fourth, life is hard to find a bosom friend. In addition to eating meat with Qianlong, Xiao Shenyang can be said to be Qianlong's confidant. Usually, as long as you look at Qianlong, Xiao Shenyang has already understood the intention of Qianlong. Later, Gan Long married his beloved Ten Princesses to Feng?enyende, the son of Xiao Shenyang, showing his love and trust in Xiao Shenyang.

When Qianlong was dying, it was inconvenient to act and speak. Only small Shenyang can understand the sacred meaning of Qianlong's intermittent above the court.

If someone in the world least wants Gan Long to die, it's not his son Jiaqing, but Xiao Shenyang.

So in the face of such a person who "serves himself wholeheartedly", how can Gan Long let Shenyang fall into his own hands?
