As we all know, Qianlong was supposed to be the longest-serving emperor in the Qing Dynasty, but he said that he could not surpass his grandfather, so he voluntarily ceded his throne to his son Jiaqing and became the only emperor's father in the Qing Dynasty. "The emperor's father ruled the Hall of Supreme Harmony and was transferred to the throne." However, Emperor Qianlong didn't really retire, and Jiaqing didn't really have the right to dispose of many things until Emperor Qianlong nodded his consent.
it's 85 years old for Qianlong to be the emperor's father, and he was very old at that time. When people are old, it is useless to do things, especially to deal with state affairs, which is not commonly used. Arguably, when the emperor is established, the emperor's father should trust the new emperor even if he doesn't delegate power, but the emperor Qianlong trusts not Jiaqing, but the minister-the famous He Shen.
He Shen and Jiaqing didn't deal with each other very well. He always thought Jiaqing shouldn't be the next emperor, but the imperial power was prosperous, and he didn't have the right to decide. However, it was common to do something small for Jiaqing. However, in the face of the powerful He Shen, Jiaqing can only be patient. After all, He Shen's words carry more weight in Qianlong than his own words. Jiaqing can become an emperor, and his ability to assess the situation is naturally different from that of ordinary people. He knows how to avoid the sharp edge of He Shen, and he treats He Shen with great respect on the surface, but He Shen doesn't think that the little emperor is a fuel-efficient lamp, or he wants to embarrass the little emperor everywhere, and even wants to change the Qianlong emperor into a new heir through means.
There were many major cases of literary inquisition in the Qing Dynasty, and many people were ruined in the end. He Shen turned his mind to the literary inquisition and sent people to keep an eye on the words written by Jiaqing at any time. If there was anything inappropriate, he took out a study to see if it was possible to bring down Jiaqing. And this opportunity was caught by He Shen.
During the Jiaqing period of Qianlong, there was a minister named Zhu Gui. This man was not good at being an official, but he was good at learning. He was released for many years, but he was clearly the chief secretary of Shanxi, but his colleague Huang Jian, who was in charge of criminal law in a province, said that he was not doing his job properly. "Zhu Gui studied all day, but he didn't rectify local affairs." Qianlong simply asked him to return to Beijing to be a bachelor's lecturer.
This Zhu Gui has another special identity, and that is the teacher of Emperor Jiaqing.
In the early years of Jiaqing, Zhu Gui, who was released outside, returned to Beijing once again. This time, he was touched by Jiaqing's light. Gan Long said, "As a master, Chen Shanna teaches, and the system is reasonable, which is beyond your knowledge." Zhu Gui became a college student assisted by the official department minister. As a student, Jiaqing was naturally happy for the teacher, so he prepared to write a poem for the teacher. Who knows that the poem has not been finished yet, but He Shen has already learned it, and he stabbed the written part to Qianlong to know that "Kun took Bai Gaozong and said,' The emperor wants the city to be kind to the master'". This sentence looks simple, in fact, the water is very deep. Emperor Jiaqing's intention was originally to congratulate the teacher, but what He Shen said changed his meaning. He said that Jiaqing's behavior was to win people's hearts, and that such behavior was to build his own father's rebellion. Ganlong has been reluctant to really hand over power, because he is afraid that he will be raised by his son. He Shen's words directly hit Ganlong's heart, so when Ganlong heard He Shen's words, his face turned ugly, and he was "angry".
Fortunately, other ministers were present when He Shen said this, otherwise, Jiaqing might be doomed. Gan Long asked Dong Gao, the minister, "What is the reason for your long time in the military punishment department?" Dong Gao only said five words to help Jiaqing solve a crisis: "The Lord has no words." Just five words directly pull He Shen's misinterpreted meaning back to the right direction-what's wrong with teachers being promoted and students congratulating teachers? Yes, it is human nature for students to congratulate the teacher, and this teacher was chosen by Qianlong himself.
Emperor Jiaqing didn't get any punishment for this incident, but Zhu Gui was given another reason by Qianlong not to be a university student, and he still stayed in the local area. He Shen's words finally played a role in Qianlong.
it's only a matter of time before you get out and hang out. After the death of Emperor Qianlong in the first month of Jiaqing's fourth year, Jiaqing immediately laid hands on He Shen. Soon after, He Shen was given death, and "He Shen was given death in prison".
