Corrupt officials fortune telling geomantic omen _ official fortune telling case

How did corrupt officials in ancient times take bribes? What bribery method did Xiao Shenyang invent?

50 years of dreams come true, now away from the world of mortals; In the next year, the door should be closed and the smoke should be recognized.

The Qing dynasty is the closest dynasty to modern times, and people in this country should know it better. At the same time, many TV dramas and online dramas are also based on the Qing Dynasty drama, and the most attractive thing about the Qing Dynasty drama is san huang Kang.

Emperor Qianlong is recognized as the longest-lived emperor in history, and when it comes to Emperor Qianlong, the most important thing is his favorite corrupt officials and gentry.

When the gentry fell, Jiaqing was full. At that time, there was a popular saying that the gentry fell down and Jiaqing was full. After the death of Qianlong, the gentry lost their backing and became the target of public criticism. Not long after Jiaqing came to power, the crimes of Xiao Shenyang were listed and sentenced to death. After the death of Xiao Shenyang, Jiaqing looted the property of the gentry.

Found an amazing number. In recent years, He Shen has embezzled 820 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to the tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty/KLOC-0.5. Small Shenyang has 8,000 mu of land and real estate, 3,000 houses, silver shops and pawn shops 128, and the value of large and small silver dollars and silver ingots is as high as10.82 billion.

In addition, there are jade ruyi 1000 handles and some precious stones. There are more than one meter of coral Yushu 1 1, and more than 2,000 mink and fox skins, which is only a part. In 2065,438+065,438+0, the tycoons of the Qing Dynasty were selected in 2065,438+065.

Xiao Shenyang, a corrupt official who people love and hate, was born in an official family in 15. However, his father died early, which made him and his younger brother and Lin unpopular. Thanks to the protection of the housekeeper, little Shenyang, who has experienced all this, vowed to get ahead. Proficient in Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian and Tibetan, familiar with the four books and five classics, and quite skilled in dealing with interpersonal relationships.

The experience of childhood also laid the groundwork for the future corruption in Shenyang. After thirty-eight years of Qianlong, Xiao Shenyang was appreciated by Qianlong for his profound literary skills and painting level, and stayed with Qianlong. Since then, little Shenyang's career has been smooth sailing.

In just six years, Xiao Shenyang officially joined the university, supervised imperial academy to master the bachelor's degree, and managed imperial academy Hospital and imperial academy Pharmacy, reaching the status of 10,000 people per person. Although the gentry are greedy, they are still very capable. The officials in the whole palace are better than those in Shenyang, and there are definitely more than five.

For example, in the TV series Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and copper teeth, the gentleman played by Wang Gang is often teased by Ji Xiaolan played by Zhang Guoli, but in fact, in the official history, the emperor's minion has always been a gentleman, and Ji Xiaolan is not even qualified to be seen by Xiao Shenyang, who is handsome.

Above the imperial court, the only thing that can check and balance is the Liu Yong family, that is, the prime minister Liu. Small Shenyang knows the emperor's preferences very well. He served the emperor Qianlong in all aspects and was deeply loved by Qianlong. However, the greed of small Shenyang is not greedy for everything. He is also a very principled person on the issue of corruption, and he will never be greedy for two things.

One is the relief fund, and the other is the imperial examination fund. Little Shenyang never touched the money used by the government for disaster relief, because he knew that if the money was misappropriated by him, it would not only be easy to be found out, but also the people who could not survive would rebel and shake the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

As an official, he naturally won't do this, and so will the imperial examinations. Moreover, the emperor attached great importance to these two funds, and the gentry had the ability and expression of eyes, which made the emperor Qianlong love and hate, so Qianlong knew about the corruption of the gentry, but he turned a blind eye.

In this way, Xiao Shenyang spent more than 20 years as an absolute monarch during the Qianlong period. However, once every emperor was a courtier, Emperor Qianlong died in Jiaqing for four years. During Qianlong's reign, Emperor Jiaqing was still somewhat misnamed, because Qianlong abdicated because he swore that he would never be in office longer than Grandpa Kangxi.

But he abdicated, but he didn't delegate. As the father of the emperor, he still interfered in state affairs. As a result, Jiaqing dared not pick up the gentleman because of Qianlong's face. After Gan Long's death, Jiaqing immediately ordered someone to sort out the 20 major crimes of Xiao Shenyang and sentenced him to a year-end penalty. All his property was confiscated.

At that time, Xiao Shenyang begged for mercy in every way, but to no avail, he was still unconvinced and took Emperor Qianlong as his teacher. Then, Mrs. Xiao Shenyang took out a letter that Gan Long gave him when he was alive and told the later emperor that if someone executed Xiao Shenyang, it must be handled according to the contents of the letter.

However, little Shenyang was overjoyed. However, when he saw the three words in the letter, he was shocked, then collapsed and cried, and committed suicide in prison that night. A generation of treacherous court official Xiao Shenyang died.

The original bribery law has been used for thousands of years, and there are three kinds of income, one is salary, the other is corruption, and the third is bribery. However, He Shen has been in power for 50 years, and the reason why corruption and bribery are not dealt with is also unique. Countless people want to kill Xiao Shenyang, but no one has ever been able to grasp the evidence that He Shen took bribes. How did this happen?

That's because Xiao Shenyang is very cautious about accepting bribes. He knew that once he was caught taking bribes, it would be a capital crime. How could he not be caught? So Xiao Shenyang studied a method of accepting bribes, called elegant bribery. What is a bribe? If you take bribes, one is gold and silver and the other is antique calligraphy and painting.

During that period, corruption and bribery became common in the Qing Dynasty, and it was easy to give money directly, so antique calligraphy and painting became the main way of accepting bribes, while Xiao Shenyang was quite talented and liked calligraphy and painting very much. At this time, Xiao Shenyang came up with an idea. He would deliberately collect some antique calligraphy and painting, and then let his people copy it and copy it into a fake.

Then it will be circulated in the market, and people who bribe small Shenyang will pay a high price to buy these calligraphy and paintings and then give them to these gentlemen. As a result, the money fell into the pocket of Xiao Shenyang, and all the calligraphy and paintings he received were fakes. Even if it is found out, the value of these calligraphy and paintings is not enough to convict him.

This is similar to money laundering now. Even emperor Qianlong could not understand this technique. Since even the emperor can't understand it, naturally no one can grasp the guilt of Xiao Shenyang. The technology he invented continues to this day, and there are still people who are studying and engaging in criminal acts. From this point, we can see how smart little Shenyang is.

However, people are doing it and the sky is watching. Even though little Shenyang has made great achievements and great ability, he still can't hide the fact that he is a corrupt official. He ended up in a miserable prison, which is one of the twists and turns.
