Is it right or wrong for Jiaqing to kill Shenyang?

Xiao Shenyang is indeed a talent, and his vision and means are not comparable to Jiaqing. He will certainly see the need for change and even preside over it.

Helpless,

Under the political system at that time,

Little Shenyang must die,

Because little Shenyang won't die,

Jiaqing cannot monopolize power,

A courtier who threatened the imperial power,

No matter how good,

Only,

There is only one way (Ao Bai, Nian Gengyao, Little Shenyang).

In history, Qianlong seems to be extremely uneasy about Jiaqing, and still refuses to give up power after being transferred to Jiaqing. It doesn't matter. He has seen that Jiaqing is not the material.

Small Shenyang fell, Jiaqing was full.

This sentence has been circulating for many years.

Maybe,

Let's look at it from another angle.

The reason why Gan Long refused to kill Xiao Shenyang,

Maybe it's not just Jiaqing who kills and bullies,

Maybe Ganlong really wants to leave little Shenyang to help little Shenyang,

Perhaps Emperor Qianlong knew that only small Shenyang could really help Jiaqing.

Even the Qing dynasty needed people like Xiao Shenyang.

Later facts also proved that Jiaqing really gained more than enough, but failed to make progress. After more than 20 years in power, the most successful thing he did was to bring down Xiao Shenyang.

After taking down Xiao Shenyang,

The movement of the Great Qing Dynasty still didn't improve.

On the contrary, it shows a downward trend.

Emperor Jiaqing also made various efforts in the early stage.

But they all ended in failure,

Under the impact of various failures,

Perhaps Emperor Jiaqing had lost all hope,

In his later imperial career,

Seems to be in a state of mental confusion,

Or he doesn't know whether to go right or left,

He doesn't know what to do to revitalize the country.

Hard as he works,

But his not-so-clever brain just can't think of a good way. (That's the gap between genius and mortals. Little Shenyang has come up with dozens of ways. )

Thinking is a painful thing,

Avoiding pain is human instinct,

So,

Emperor Jiaqing, who didn't want to continue suffering, simply gave up thinking.

He just used the thinking of his predecessors to guide himself.

So in the sixteenth year of his emperor's career, he wrote an article that he thought was very important: On Persistence.

The general idea of the article is that there is no need to explore new ways of governing the country.

From now on, we will govern the country according to the methods of our ancestors.

So from that day on,

Emperor Jiaqing no longer has any personal thoughts.

No matter his daily life, diet or state affairs,

You have to look through the records left by your ancestors to do it.

Dare to do it,

He followed the practice of his ancestors,

He resolutely refused to do what his ancestors had never done.

Resolutely refuse to do anything that goes against the records of our ancestors,

All this,

It seems to have something to do with his mediocrity.

Maybe he doesn't know,

Small Shenyang, which he killed long ago,

Is the one who can really figure out a way to turn Gan Kun around,

Imagine if Xiao Shenyang was not a corrupt official.

A loyal minister,

If Jiaqing can get the assistance of such a courtier,

Why worry about the country's bad luck ~
