Xiao Shenyang used to be an honest official. What changed him?

Xiao Shenyang was indeed an honest official in his early years. Small Shenyang changed because of the corruption case in Li Shiyao. In fact, little Shenyang's childhood experience was relatively bumpy. He died at the age of 3, and his mother was his father who died at the age of 9. Therefore, Xiao Shenyang studied hard at an early age and learned Manchu, Chinese, Tibetan and Mongolian. Because he is particularly clever and knows how to calculate, he has gradually gained the appreciation of Qianlong.

At first, Xiao Shenyang was really determined to serve the country. Xiao Shenyang inherited a third-class captain as a scholar without ostentation and extravagance. Later, due to his special ability, Xiao Shenyang became a member of the honor guard. This position may not sound special, but Xiao Shenyang also cherishes it because he can often appear in front of the emperor. At the age of 26, Xiao Shenyang has become the manager of Buku. Through this position, Xiao Shenyang himself has learned how to manage funds. After being appreciated by Qianlong, Xiao Shenyang is more handy in official positions.

It was not until the corruption case in Li Shiyao that the life of Shenyang was completely changed. At that time, Xiao Shenyang investigated the case as a clearing house, but he didn't expect the officials involved to pay bribes to Xiao Shenyang, and the amount was huge. When faced with such a large amount of silver for the first time, Xiao Shenyang was obviously a little at a loss. It was also at this time that Xiao Shenyang felt for the first time that power could bring him so many benefits. Since then, little Shenyang has lost control.

After this incident, little Shenyang became more and more greedy. Even in the whole imperial court at that time, if someone wanted to be an official, then small Shenyang had to accept bribes. It is also said that Qianlong knew about the corruption in Shenyang, but Shenyang was really skillful in handling affairs, and Qianlong did it very conveniently, so he never touched Shenyang, but chose to turn a blind eye.
