Little Shenyang is very rich. Why can't it buy its own life?

After 60 years of Qianlong's rule, at the age of Mao Yi, at a command meeting, the 85-year-old Emperor Qianlong unexpectedly and suddenly proposed to abdicate. Small Shenyang can't help but be surprised. What a surprise! I haven't heard of it! He hurried out of the classroom and began to play: "Shenglong is healthy and energetic. Why are you in such a hurry to discuss this matter? " His inner anxiety is beyond words. What's his hurry? To put it bluntly, he can't live without the support of Qianlong in Little Shenyang! However, this time, Emperor Qianlong did not listen to him. He waved slightly and asked him to step down. He publicly announced: "I have decided to abdicate next year, which will never exceed the reign of Emperor Kangxi."

1. Jiaqing is superior.

Jiaqing, the son of Qianlong 15, is also average in ability, very filial and honest. According to common sense, the Qing dynasty needed a very talented emperor at this time. Jiaqing can defend his country at most, but he has no ability to expand his territory. Will Gan Long become old?

The answer is no, of course. The main reason why Qianlong chose Jiaqing as his successor is that he can't bear to part with one thing, and that is "power". Although Qianlong has been emperor for 60 years, he is still unwilling to delegate. If you choose a capable son to inherit the throne, it will be difficult for Qianlong to control him, and he will become the emperor's father who has no rights.

After careful consideration, Jiaqing, who is honest, obedient and filial, became the best candidate. After Qianlong abdicated, he clearly announced: "We must never ignore military affairs and personnel, but we must still handle them ourselves." Still calling himself "I", he said to the envoys who came to pay tribute: "Although I belong to politics, I still do big things!"

It can be said that the purpose of Qianlong is also very clear, that is, he does not want to decentralize, and Jiaqing became a veritable puppet emperor.

2. Jiaqing killed Xiao Shenyang Ganlong and served as the emperor's father for three years. During this period, Jiaqing was tortured and kept swallowing up. After the death of Qianlong, Emperor Jiaqing really let himself go and started his own wishful thinking.

Only 15 days after the death of Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Jiaqing was imprisoned in the name of 20 major crimes, and all his property on the monkey head was confiscated, making a profit of 820 million yuan. This 820 million yuan should be left after the official "embezzled", so experts estimate that the actual assets of Xiao Shenyang are as high as11.200 million silver.

Such a huge amount of silver instantly shocked the Qing government. Finally, under the persuasion of Gulen, Princess Xiao and Liu Yong, Emperor Jiaqing gave a white silk and did not publicly execute it.

It is difficult to buy money in small Shenyang. Little Shenyang in history is undoubtedly very talented. In his early days as an official, he was shrewd and upright. Later, after becoming a powerful minister, greed expanded and became out of control. However, we must understand that although his corruption was huge, it was nothing in the social environment at that time, and he might even get the permission of the emperor. After all, he is good at managing money, and the emperor hopes to make money through him.

On the other hand, Xiao Shenyang's wealth does not come entirely from corruption, but in fact a considerable part comes from his own management of this industry. For example, 75 pawn shops and more than 300 large and small banks have been set up in Little Shenyang, and they have business dealings with the British East India Company and Guangdong Branch 13.

He died not of greed, but of wealth. Of course, another reason is the attribute of "the power minister of the former dynasty".

Conclusion: Gan Long is confident to control the small Shenyang, so he can save the small Shenyang with money. But young Jiaqing is not confident that he can easily control a powerful former courtier, so it is the best way to find some charges to clean up. On the one hand, we can brush our reputation among the people in the name of killing corrupt officials, on the other hand, we can enrich the national treasury and lay a good foundation for the days after we ascended the throne.
