Chapter 18 Anglers finally caught

After several failed struggles between Jiaqing and Heshen, he finally understood that his status as the king of a country was just a vain position. As long as the Supreme Emperor survives, Heshen will always be complacent, and he will never have a bright future.But it's not the time to make a move yet, so he can only hold back his breath first, so as not to let He Shen see his grand plans and ambitions, so as not to be harmed. How can we not arouse He Shen's suspicion?Jiaqing remembered what his teacher Zhu Gui said to him: Nourishing the heart, respecting the body, being diligent, humble oneself, and being sincere.He understood: his position is still unstable, and He Shen is often on guard against himself, the situation can be described as very dangerous.At this time, you can only cultivate your body and mind, be patient, and make decisions before moving.If you want to keep silent and become a blockbuster, you can only not expose your own weaknesses and true colors, lie down calmly, and concentrate on finding the enemy's flaws.Then wait for the opportunity to move, and wait for the fruit to fall and the water to come.

The sage Laozi also called it the valley of the world, and the old saying also says that those who know others are wise, those who know themselves are wise, those who overcome others are powerful, and those who overcome themselves are strong.As a monarch, you should be as modest as possible, so that you can not only protect yourself, but also exercise your mind to accommodate everything.Jiaqing knew that what he needed to do was to restrain himself, keep his face down, and behave like a childish child as Lao Tzu said, so that He Shen would not take any precautions against him; and then gave him a fatal blow by surprise.In this regard, he admired his ancestor Emperor Kangxi very much.He killed Oboi quietly and was caught off guard, and finally accomplished his great deed.Thinking that I am almost middle-aged, and Emperor Kangxi was only a teenager back then, if my ancestors could do it, I might not be able to!

From then on, Jiaqing decided to bury all kinds of schemes deeply, and practice what Lao Tzu called "ruling by doing nothing".Serving at the side of the Supreme Emperor all day, and the affairs of the country are only obeyed by the Supreme Emperor, Qianlong is very satisfied with this.But how to make He Shen relax his vigilance?Jiaqing also made a detailed plan. Jiaqing knew that the people around him were He Shen's eyes and ears, and no one could be trusted.From this point of view, Jiaqing is lonely and helpless, so everything must be handled by himself, and he dare not entrust others to do it, and he must be careful in his actions, lest he show his flaws and let Heshen take advantage of him.

Attendant Wu Shenglan's name is the teacher, but he is actually He Shen's eyes and ears, why not use him to paralyze He Shen?Jiaqing remembered that before he was announced as the crown prince, He Shen had sent Yu Ruyi to show his favor.I deliberately wrote several poems "Yong Yu Ru Yi" to express my respect and gratitude to He Shen: Preface: The emperor proclaimed me as Fu Chu the day before yesterday, and I served me together with Yu Ruyi, which shows the loyalty and loyalty of supporting me.Ascend to the throne today, don't forget who you are, remember it with poems.

One of the envy masters produces Tianxi, and good jade is carved into tools.Gentle and steadfast, the name is Ruyi. The second is the wonderful selection of fine grains from Kungang, and the command is as good as you want.At the beginning of Shuxiang, there are three signs of signs, and the Emperor Jiawei is in love with Wanbaoying. Preface: Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, seeing Ruyi again, thinking about where this jade comes from.I have been enthroned for a year, and I want to show the virtue of being in harmony with each other, the achievements of fighting chaos and governing the people, and the ministers who are true to each other.

One of them is Hetian Jiayu, which is of excellent quality, and the auspicious emblems are chosen for righteousness and auspiciousness.The farmer wishes for a bumper harvest following last year, and the folk songs hit the soil and the sky is happy. The second is white and pure, like Wen Chun.Not tired of flaws, often placed next to the seat. These are just two of them, there are many others not listed.As Jiaqing wished, these poems entered Heshen's ears through Wu Shenglan without falling to the ground. Heshen originally asked Wu Shenglan to monitor Jiaqing. Seeing Jiaqing being so grateful to him, he was very happy.In addition, Wu Shenglan also sent "Jing Sitting" from time to time (sitting in Xiaozhai to spend a young year, the pear green tea is the most pleasant. Yaoqin hanging on the wall is difficult to sing, and Nan Xun is used to insert five strings), "Song Huizong Lingu" and many other He Shen saw the poems that showed Emperor Jiaqing's decadence and negligence in government affairs, and was happy in his heart.From this, He Shen concluded that Jiaqing was already satisfied and contented to be emperor, and had no extravagant hopes or ambitions for the regime.

Jiaqing is a careful person, he thinks blindly flattering Heshen will arouse his suspicion, so he occasionally writes some small poems to satirize Heshen without pain.It was nothing more than that He Shen was smoking opium, not to mention the smell of cigarettes all over his body, and his hands and teeth were browned.Finally, I don’t forget to say: Will He Shen’s wife and concubine dislike him for smoking opium?When He Shen saw these verses, he looked down on Jiaqing, who was only good at making friends, ignored political affairs, and had no ambitions.It can be said that Jiaqing's smoke bomb was very successful, and he finally managed to hide it from He Shen.

On the eighth day of September in the second year of Jiaqing (1797), Jiaqing's first wife, Queen Sitara, died of illness, leaving behind a son, Minning, who later became Emperor Daoguang.Jiaqing was so sad that he couldn't help but wrote a mourning poem. He didn't want to see words such as teardrops scattered and wine poured in the poem.It made the Taishanghuang unhappy, because it just happened to commit the taboo of the Taishanghuang who is afraid of old age and death.The angry Taishang also made a special decree: Although there is only a five-day mourning, Jiaqing can wear plain clothes for seven days, and can only be taken off when the drink offering is held. Of course, He Shen would not miss the opportunity to attack Jiaqing. He immediately sent Fu Chang'an to strictly monitor Jiaqing. If he saw any unfilial behavior, he immediately reported it to the Supreme Emperor.

In the past few years, Jiaqing has also been used to forbearance, and he doesn't care about being wronged one more time, and he has turned a blind eye to the monitoring and making things difficult for him by the Supreme Emperor and Heshen.Losing his beloved wife, although he was heartbroken, he could only grieve in his heart and dare not show the slightest.He also forced a smile on his face and issued an edict to the cabinet to cater to the emperor's wishes, saying: I will serve the sage in the daytime, and I will welcome the joy in the evening, and all will be auspicious.Rituals start with righteousness, and the etiquette in the palace must also be done in accordance with righteousness.Therefore, the princes and ministers, etc., played as usual and dressed as usual.The subjects of the world, etc., should be like a metaphor for my admiration for the emperor's filial piety, respect and respect, and my deputy will only respect and care for me.

Afterwards, Jiaqing served the Supreme Emperor as usual, without showing any disrespect or excessive sadness on the surface. After the seven-day filial piety period, he finally escaped another catastrophe, so he hated Heshen even more. "Drafts of Qing History" records that once, when Heshen brought the front-line memorial reported by Yimian to see Emperor Jiaqing, he deliberately knelt down and threw his body to the ground. Do this great gift.He Shen was originally trying to test Jiaqing, but now that the emperor said so, of course he no longer insisted, so he sent a memorial saying: Please read the holy approval.Jiaqing knew that this was Heshen's second trial, so he hurriedly said: I have just ascended the throne, and I can't take charge of the government for a while. Such important military and political affairs should be handled by peace ministers, so there is no need to report them to me. Even less familiar with the military, you have to consult the Supreme Emperor for everything, and rely on your husband, and your husband will not hesitate to teach and assist you in the future.He Shen was very satisfied after hearing this, so he turned and left.Looking at the back of He Shen leaving, Jiaqing wiped the cold sweat off his brow, rejoicing that he had finally passed this level, and secretly made up his mind: this scene must be done to the end before the death of the Supreme Emperor.

From then on, Jiaqing never forgot to invite Heshen to perform the performance of the Supreme Emperor.Jiaqing also often said to the guards, companions, servants and others around him: You don’t know something, we rely on our husband to govern the country, how can we treat each other slowly?I am going to treat him with respect and kindness, and make him try his best to assist me.If my husband is a little slack towards me, how can I govern the country?Who can I rely on?Of course, these words reached Heshen's ears one by one. Heshen completely relaxed his vigilance towards Jiaqing after hearing the words, so he took his wife and concubine to go for an outing. Jiaqing saw that he was neither happy nor angry according to his teacher Zhu Gui's teaching, kept silent and prudent, but only listened, and the strategy of showing his cronies really made Heshen relax his guard.Now I just wait for myself to be in charge, and then completely settle Heshen's old accounts.
