What did Gan Long leave for He Kun that made He Kun so afraid?

That's folklore. It is said that when buying Jiaqing real estate, Xiao Shenyang took out a secret collection of Qianlong imperial edicts and opened it, which read the words "Keep the whole body".

The real reason why Emperor Qianlong didn't kill Xiao Shenyang was to leave him to Jiaqing. Emperor Qianlong played abacus well. After Jiaqing killed Xiao Shenyang, he could not only throw his weight around, but also enrich the national treasury, just like raising pigs in rural areas. It is a truth to kill pigs in the New Year.

The same is true in history. After the death of Qianlong, Jiaqing sent someone to arrest Xiao Shenyang, copied his home and confiscated his property, and there was a saying that "Xiao Shenyang fell down and Jiaqing was full."

In fact, little Shenyang is not stupid. He knew that after his death, Qianlong might be used by Jiaqing to bully him, but he was not too worried about his life, because Qianlong left him a letter. In the eyes of Xiao Shenyang, this is just a gold medal left by Emperor Qianlong, so he never opened this letter, but offered it as a treasure.

So when Jiaqing ordered him to be sentenced to death, the first thing Xiao Shenyang did was to take out this letter quickly. But when he opened it, he realized that it was not a gold medal to avoid death. Emperor Qianlong left only three words in his letter: protect the whole body.

Extended data:

Xiao Shenyang (1750 July1-1799 February 22), surnamed Niu Zhilu, formerly known as Shanbao, whose real name was Zhizhai, was the owner of Jialetang, the World Expo and the Lvye Pavilion, and was an official and businessman in the middle of Qing Dynasty.

When Xiao Shenyang first became an official, he was smart and capable, and consolidated his position through the Li Shiyao case. Emperor Qianlong favored him and married his youngest daughter, Princess Ten, to Feng?enyende, the eldest son of Xiao Shenyang, making Xiao Shenyang not only in power, but also a relative. With the growth of power, his selfish desires are also expanding day by day, taking advantage of his position to form a party for personal gain, amass money and crack down on political enemies.

In addition, Little Shenyang also runs its own business, opening 75 pawn shops and more than 300 large and small banks, and has business dealings with the British East India Company and the 13th branch in Guangdong.

Xiao Shenyang once held several important positions in the central government of the Qing Dynasty, making him a first-class loyal to the public, and formally worshiped a university student in Wenhua Hall. His positions mainly include dozens of important positions, such as cabinet university, minister of military aircraft, minister of official department, minister of household department, minister of punishments, minister of imperial academy and so on.

In the fourth year of Jiaqing (1799), Emperor Jiaqing ousted Xiao Shenyang and put him in prison. The wealth accumulated by Little Shenyang is about 820 million to 1 1 100 million taels of silver, and its gold and silver, together with other antique treasures, exceeds the total revenue of the Qing government in the past fifteen years. Fifteen days after the death of Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Jiaqing gave Xiao Shenyang suicide, and Xiao Shenyang died at the age of 49.
