Chapter 509 The Death of Heshen
Just a few years later...

Emperor Qianlong, who thought he had run out of energy, ordered the Zen throne to be given to the prince.

So the crown prince came to the throne as Emperor Jiaqing!

Qianlong retreated behind the scenes as the Supreme Emperor and still held power!

Emperor Jiaqing was just a puppet.

certainly…

It is also to prepare for Qianlong's death in the future, so that the government and the public will not be in such a hurry!

And He Shen...

As the favorite of Emperor Qianlong, he naturally enjoyed extraordinary treatment.

A rise in status raises all boats!

In the second year of Jiaqing...

In the entire imperial court, only the Yushi faction was left to oppose him.

The time for Heshen to dominate the world is coming!
As the Supreme Emperor who was actually in power, after Qianlong entered his later years, he ordered Heshen to stand beside him and Jiaqing when he was in court.

Because only He Shen could understand what Qianlong was talking about.

Only through Heshen can Qianlong's meaning be accurately expressed.

And this gave Heshen a great deal of autonomy...

therefore…

Every day, after three kneelings and nine kowtows, he would "listen" to what Qianlong said, and then make his own judgment, which is equivalent to regent.

He Shen controlled the government through this method, so people at that time called He Shen the "Second Emperor".

He Shen has officially become a powerful minister!

The prestige even overwhelmed the Xindi Jiaqing!
But He Shen's behavior was naturally hated by Emperor Jiaqing!

As a courtier, He Shen's light is more dazzling than that of an emperor.

His power is higher than that of an emperor...

This makes him the emperor, where should he put his face?
As the son of Qianlong, he was the king of the Qing Empire.

In the end, the weight of his words was no match for a courtier He Shen.

How ridiculous!
In addition, Heshen's corruption, forming a party for personal gain, etc., in the eyes of Emperor Jiaqing, are even more sinful!

It's the silverfish of the Qing Empire...

therefore…

Emperor Jiaqing swore...

As long as Qianlong passed away and He Shen lost his backer, he would immediately dismiss He Shen and investigate, and then kill him as an example.

And He Shen also understands this very well!
therefore…

He desperately wanted to strengthen his power before Qianlong died.

even…

He was so bold that he directly sent people to monitor Qianlong and Jiaqing.

Whether they are eunuchs, official daughters or trusted officials, they may be spies sent by Heshen.

For example, the brothers Wu Shengqin and Wu Shenglan who attended Jiaqing's study are a good example.

He Shen wanted to use this method to hold the emperor in his own hands and ensure that his power would not pass away.

Let your wealth and status be guaranteed forever.

But his behavior undoubtedly angered Jiaqing even more.

As a majestic emperor, he was actually monitored and controlled by his subordinates?
Is he still the emperor in Heshen's eyes?

What does he want to do?
Want to rebel?
But in the face of Qianlong's inquiry, He Shen respectfully said that it was to get Qianlong's call in time, and to be able to arrive at Qianlong's side as soon as possible to serve him.

To this...

Jiaqing just wanted to say, Heshen, you fart!
But with the protection of the Supreme Emperor Qianlong, he has nothing to do with Heshen.

It doesn't matter whether he believes He Shen's words or not!

The important thing is…

Emperor Qianlong believed it!

Jiaqing is also helpless...

after all…

He is currently just a puppet emperor with no real power.

If Qianlong did not die, he would not gain real power for a day.

Just a day to suffer the humiliating bullying of Heshen.

Jiaqing thinks...

He is really too aggrieved!
Even if He Shen used to be his teacher...

But being suppressed by a courtier made Jiaqing feel that he was too useless as an emperor.

He thinks of taking power as soon as possible all the time!

And He Shen...

But I hope Qianlong, the Supreme Emperor, will never die!

so…

He is not in danger.

But people have misfortunes and blessings...

No one can live forever, and Qianlong was no exception.

As a rare long-lived emperor, Qianlong's life finally came to an end.

In the fourth year of Jiaqing...

When Qianlong died, Jiaqing ordered Prime Minister Heshen to have a funeral for Qianlong.

But in He Shen's view...

It is better to say that he is preparing for Qianlong's funeral than preparing for his own!
How much Jiaqing hates him, He Shen is too clear.

he knows…

My life is not long!

Ke Heshen has no way to resist!
It is impossible to resist.

Everything for him has been arranged.

There is no way to resist.

Once resisted...

He Shen will only die worse!

as predicted…

Emperor Qianlong's funeral had just been completed, and Emperor Jiaqing couldn't wait to start attacking Heshen.

The thirteenth day of the first lunar month!

Emperor Jiaqing announced Heshen's twenty major crimes, deprived Heshen of all his official positions, and ordered his family to be ransacked.

It can be said that Emperor Jiaqing has coveted Heshen's family property for a long time.

he knows...

He Shen is a rich man!

but…

He probably never thought that He Shen would be so rich!
This time the house was ransacked, and a total of [-] million taels of silver was stolen.

This number made Emperor Jiaqing silent.

To know…

During the Qianlong period, the annual tax revenue of their Qing Empire was only 7000 million taels.

And He Shen's family property is equivalent to 15 years of tax revenue of the Qing Empire.

This is an astronomical sum!
Huge can drive everyone crazy!
"Hahaha, that's great, that's great!"

After a brief silence, Jiaqing was extremely excited.

With this money...

He can do many things.

And He Shen...

It will also become his dead soul under the knife, and a stepping stone for him to become a real and powerful king.

There is no objection to Heshen's court discussion.

Ling late!

"?!!"

Seeing this scene, He Shen stood up in shock.

His eyes were wide open, extremely horrified.

He felt that his situation was suddenly very embarrassing...

After Qianlong gets old in the future, it's fine for him to send someone to monitor Qianlong.

Also offended the future emperor, Jiaqing!

To know…

At this moment, the future Emperor Jiaqing is also looking at the content on this light curtain!

He watched this scene...

Have no idea?
He Shen didn't believe it!

This put He Shen in a very embarrassing situation all of a sudden.

He is neither entering nor retreating!
No matter whether you advance or retreat, you will offend people.

And these two people, he can't afford to offend them!

This is going to drive him crazy!
He really didn't know what to do.

He touched his forehead...

It was all covered in cold sweat, and his face was pale!

He really felt that God was playing tricks on him and let him encounter such a thing.

Really difficult!

"He Shen, I didn't see it, you are quite smart!"

At this moment!
Qianlong said something indifferently, which made He Shen collapse in fear.

"Long live Lord Mingjian, the servant will never dare to do anything wrong with you!"

Bean-sized drops of sweat came down with a swish.

All the emperors and ministers who watched this were shocked.

Then I shook my head involuntarily...

Some people feel...

Some people despise!

On the contrary, Kangxi looked at Qianlong in surprise, as if to say: "Is Qianlong so scary?"
He was actually able to scare He Shen into such a state.

Rare indeed!

certainly…

Kangxi was quite satisfied that Qianlong had such a strong majesty.

as emperor...

If you can't deter your subordinates, then you are too incompetent.

Naturally, it would be difficult to manage the subordinates...

Things that were committed by subordinates will happen again.

This is something he absolutely cannot allow!
"Of course I believe that you will not have unreasonable ideas!"

Qianlong helped He Shen up with a kind face, and said with emotion: "I still need you to help me with various things. You are my arm. How could I do such a thing of self-mutilation."

But He Shen didn't feel at ease when he heard this.

You can never believe everything the emperor says.
