Gan Long gave Xiao Shenyang a life-saving edict. Why is he dumbfounded when he opens it?

During the northern and southern dynasties, someone put forward the famous? Corrupt officials theory? He told the emperor that the key to governing the world is to appoint corrupt officials, because corrupt officials are all people who have broken the law, so they will be very obedient. If they don't obey, the emperor can punish them by law. At the same time, when the grievances of corrupt officials gather to a certain extent, the emperor can directly kill corrupt officials to calm their grievances, and at the same time fill the treasury with corrupt officials' wallets. ?

The truth of this theory has been difficult to verify, but there is indeed a person who governed the country according to this theory in history. This man is Gan Long. Qianlong lived in Jiangnan for six times; Border troubles are everywhere, and wars continue; At the same time, he likes luxury, but the country has not been overthrown, which is of course related to his father Yongzheng and grandfather Kangxi. Another important reason is that he has a big corrupt official? Small Shenyang.

Xiao Shenyang was born in 1750, nearly 40 years younger than Ganlong. It stands to reason that two people should be a little? Generation gap? But in fact, there is no generation gap between them, but they hit it off. Xiao Shenyang was originally a down-and-out standard bearer. After failing in the imperial examination, he went to work as a bodyguard for Gan Long. After meeting him, Gan Long felt particularly cordial, and then at 1773, he ordered him to manage the library property. Xiao Shenyang made a lot of money for Gan Long in this position, so he was promoted all the way.

For Gan Long, Xiao Shenyang is not only a minister, but also a friend. Little Shenyang can always give him some help when he needs it most, and he can always see his heart clearly. For example, when Gan Long celebrated his birthday in his later years, he wrote one by himself? Zen? Word, others say that Qianlong understands Buddhism, and how profound Buddhism is, only Xiao Shenyang can see that Qianlong is going to abdicate. Zen? No? Zen and enlightenment? what's up Zen? , but? Make way? what's up Zen? .

Little Shenyang has mainly done two things in his life, one is to serve Qianlong wholeheartedly, and the other is to make money in various ways, legally and illegally. When he learned that Gan Long was going to abdicate, Xiao Shenyang felt a little scared, because his reputation of being greedy for money was well known all over the world, especially the prince, who hated himself deeply. But little Shenyang, is this money really just his own? That's not true.

Ganlong has never made money for the country in his life, but he has been spending money. In order to maintain the stability of the national treasury and make himself rich in Jiangnan, he had to find a cash cow for himself, and Xiao Shenyang was his most important one. So Xiao Shenyang went to plead with Gan Long. The prince is very dissatisfied with me. You must help me! ? Qianlong thought that this little Shenyang was his old buddy, so he gave him an imperial edict. Since then, little Shenyang's heart has stabilized.

1799 On February 7th, Gan Long, who was nearly 88 years old, passed away, and Jiaqing really came to power. A few days later, Jiaqing announced the top 20 crimes in small Shenyang. Considering the court's face, Jiaqing allowed him to commit suicide at home. Worms are greedy for life, not to mention the little Shenyang in Happy Ever After. So he quickly took out the imperial edict of Qianlong and gave it to Jiaqing, hoping that Jiaqing would spare his life. Little Shenyang knelt on the ground, expecting to wait until Jiaqing finished reading? Secret information? But I saw Jiaqing's face was wrong.

Jia saw it? Heritage? I was surprised at first, and then I didn't seem to believe the secret letter was true after I got it. Finally, there was a smile on my face that made little Shenyang feel numb. Little Shenyang is anxious below, grinning:? Long live the Lord, for the sake of the late emperor, forgive me! ? Jiaqing took a sympathetic look at Xiao Shenyang, and then threw the secret letter to himself, only to see three words written on it: Keep the whole body.

Finally, Jiaqing gave Xiao Shenyang a whole corpse and asked him to hang himself. As a luxurious emperor, Qianlong didn't leave much money for Jiaqing in the national treasury, but gave it to Jiaqing at home in Shenyang. Leave it? There are 800 million taels of silver and countless treasures. Xiao Shenyang thought that Ganlong would save his life because of years of feelings. How did he know that Qianlong just regarded him as a walking wallet?
