In the Complete Works of Yong 'an by Xue Fucheng, a diplomat in the late Qing Dynasty, there is a special section that records the property list of Xiao Shenyang:
3,000 houses,
This land covers 8,000 hectares,
There are forty-two silver shops,
75 pawn shops,
Red gold, 62 thousand,
A hundred gold ingots,
Fifty-six thousand pieces of silver ingots,
There are 1200 jade ruyi,
600 Jin of ginseng,
Fifty precious stones,
Mahogany furniture combination six-piece set and so on …
The list goes on and on.
According to incomplete statistics, these items are converted into silver, with a value of11million Liang. At that time, the annual revenue of the Qing treasury was 72 million, and the property of Xiao Shenyang was equivalent to 15 years, and Xiao Shenyang was in power for 25 years. It can be said that the annual income of the national treasury of the Qing Dynasty is equivalent to that of the small Shenyang, and compared with the imperial court, the small Shenyang basically has no expenditure. All this money is saved.
So, on the fifth day of Qianlong's death/kloc-0, Emperor Jiaqing couldn't wait to win the small Shenyang, listed the 20 major sins of the small Shenyang, and gave him a white silk. In fact, the ultimate goal of Jiaqing is to investigate and deal with the property of Xiao Shenyang and turn it over to the state treasury.
Small Shenyang, which occupies more than a dozen important positions, made money under the nose of Emperor Qianlong. Isn't it clear to Emperor Qianlong?
In fact, Qianlong is very clear, like a mirror, but everything is under the control of Qianlong. Small Shenyang is just greedy for money. He was loyal to the emperor Qianlong and did not pose a threat to Qianlong. On the contrary, small Shenyang can help Qianlong balance the Qing faction in the DPRK and stabilize the power in Qianlong's hands, which is also Qianlong's politics.
In addition, Xiao Shenyang also took out some money to honor Emperor Qianlong, making him happy and thinking about him everywhere. He was more like the confidant of Emperor Qianlong. In the forty-second year of Qianlong, Queen Mother Niu Kulu passed away, and Emperor Qianlong stayed in the queen mother's bedroom for three days and three nights. Ministers advised Emperor Qianlong to feel sorry for his loss, but Xiao Shenyang knelt at the gate of the palace for three days and nights, and his face was bloodless. On weekdays, needless to say. Qianlong itself is not short of money. What is lacking is to share his concerns with the detained officials. Xiao Shenyang did it. How can such a courtier, Qianlong, not love?
In the process of being an official, Xiao Shenyang didn't form a party for personal gain, let alone exceed his authority. Small Shenyang is greedy for money, and Gan Long caught the small handle of small Shenyang. If small Shenyang is perfect everywhere and superior in ability, it can be called a saint, and Qianlong has nothing to do with small Shenyang. This will pose a threat to Qianlong, so Emperor Qianlong has dealt with it. Yue Fei is a good example.
I will never be worse than you. This is the way of being an official in small Shenyang.
You are most familiar with Xiao Shenyang and Ji Xiaolan, a pair of Ji Xiaolan judges with iron teeth and copper teeth. In the play, Mr. Ji is resourceful and full of sense of justice. He often plays with adults, and little Shenyang is most afraid of Ji Xiaolan.
In fact, this is only because of the need of the plot, and the screenwriter has strengthened Ji Xiaolan's ability. In real history, Ji Xiaolan can't compete with Shenyang. There is not much overlap between the two.
Ji Xiaolan was born in 1724, Xiao Shenyang was born in 1750, and Ji Xiaolan is 26 years older than Xiao Shenyang. When Xiao Shenyang had a successful career, he held more than a dozen important positions, such as minister of military aircraft and general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. And Ji Xiaolan is just the official residence, responsible for compiling books, and has no real power. Ji Xiaolan is mainly responsible for compiling Sikuquanshu, and he is very busy on weekdays, so they have no time to fight every day. With small Shenyang's official position and strength at that time, Ji Xiaolan never dared to offend.
More importantly, Shenyang was the confidant minister of Emperor Qianlong at that time, while Ji Xiaolan was just a scholar in Qianlong's eyes, and Qianlong never allowed scholars to play politics.
One day, Ji Xiaolan's friend went to prison for a crime. He quickly begged Ganlong. After hearing this, Qianlong was furious and called Ji Xiaolan the "Prime Minister". Ji Xiaolan frighten repeatedly kowtow. Obviously, Ji Xiaolan's position in North Korea is low.
What happened to Ji Xiaolan after the death of Little Shenyang?
In fact, little Shenyang has no connection with Ji Xiaolan, so little Shenyang's crime has nothing to do with Ji Xiaolan. When Xiao Shenyang was sentenced to death, Ji Xiaolan was 76 years old. Because he is a civil servant, his body is still tough and he is really a little talented, so he was rehired by the court and continued to write documents for the court.
During the Jiaqing period, Ji Xiaolan, who was over 70 years old, was highly valued by Emperor Jiaqing. At the age of 80, Ji Xiaolan was a university student with the title of Prince Shao Bao and imperial academy Affairs. At the age of 82, Ji Xiaolan died of asthma.
