Chapter 22 Heshen family and descendants

After Heshen's defeat, his son Fengshen Yinde was greatly affected, and the first-class Duke and Baylor's titles were cut off, and only the earl was retained.Emperor Jiaqing also issued a special decree: Fengshen Yinde is Gulun's forehead.Moreover, the princess is the most beloved by the emperor, so she should be merciful and considerate. If at this time, the title of Fengshen and Yinde is reprimanded, and the teeth are inferior to the people, the system will also feel that there is no harmony.The Duke of Heshen, who obtained Wang Sanhuai's income, should go according to the proposal, and Jia En still retains his earl, even if Fengshen Yinde inherits it, stay at home and are not allowed to go out to cause trouble.In this way, he expressed his magnanimity to Fengshen Yinde.

However, Fengshen Yinde did not sit back and relax because of this.As the house raids continued, when Prince Ding Mianen and others ransacked Heshen's house, they found more than 200 Zhengzhu bracelets in his house, and at the same time found Zhengzhu and Chaozhu, the number of which was more than that in the palace. There are more, and its quality is bigger than that used by the emperor.Emperor Jiaqing was very surprised when he found out.Because Zhengzhu and Chaozhu are exclusively used by the emperor, ordinary people are strictly prohibited from owning them. Now that He Shen has so many high-quality court beads, doesn't Jiaqing feel suspicious?So Mian En and others were ordered to interrogate He Shen's family.According to Heshen's family: Heshen didn't dare to use it during the day, and often hung it privately when there was no one under the lamp, wandering in front of the mirror, chatting and laughing at the shadows, and his language was so low that even his family members could not hear it.

Based on this, Emperor Jiaqing believed that He Shen had the intention of plotting wrongdoing, and said: If this matter is discovered before the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, even if he is not sentenced to death as a crime of treason, he will be sentenced to Dabi.Now that the matter has passed, and the emperor's sister pleaded again, the original sentence was upheld with grace.Emperor Jiaqing decided that Fengshen Yinde knew about it and did not report it, and sent Mian En and others to question him many times, but Fengshen Yinde insisted on telling the truth that he did not know, and kept asking the emperor for mercy and leniency.Emperor Jiaqing couldn't get the evidence that Fengshen Yinde knew about it and didn't report it, and because of the face of the imperial sister and Princess Xiao, he ordered Jiaen to spare him from questioning, rewarded him with the title of Sanzhi Minister, and went on an errand.And the earl title of Fengshen Yinde was removed.

Fengshen Yinde saw Wanguan's family business and lofty social status disappear in an instant, he couldn't help feeling mixed feelings, and was greatly shocked in his heart.Therefore, every day at home, he recites poems, composes Fu, writes calligraphy and paints, practices martial arts, and studies "Tao Cang" hard;One of his self-chanting poems expresses his feelings deeply: The morning also moves with the crowd, and the evening also moves with the crowd; The glory is fleeting, what is the use of seeking it. The body and the crown are falsely combined to tease; He Yi fell asleep and didn't know that a dream was a dream.

In the eighth year of Jiaqing (1803), Shi Kuifu, the head of Princess Hexiao's mansion, was dismissed and turned to resent Fengshen Yinde. The concubine took it to the graveyard and gave birth to a daughter in the national service.Emperor Jiaqing ordered Dong Gao, Hang Bu and other ministers staying in the capital and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to conduct a joint trial. Except for the fact that the concubine gave birth to a daughter in the national service, she admitted that she was honest, and the others were purely fabricated by the princess to vent her personal anger.

Emperor Jiaqing issued a decree to appease Fengshen Yinde's emotions: "When the case was hanged, I knew the facts were false, but the case of conspiracy is of great importance. If I seldom reveal my intention, even if the trial is actually a false accusation." , and the ignorant outsiders make wild assumptions, they must think that I am too kind and can't bear to build a big prison, and the minister who is in charge of the trial seems to cater to it, but it is not enough to break the eyeballs and become a credence.Immediately, Dong Gao was sent back to Beijing to conduct an impartial inquiry with Minister Wang and others. According to Minister Wang and others, only Fengshen Yinde admitted that he had given birth to a daughter in the national service. Confession nothing happened.It is obvious that the forehead and the princess are in harmony.As far as practicing white wax poles, it began in the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong (1794). It was used to exercise the body. Stop juveniles from being cautious.Most of the poems and essays written by Baoning and other relatives were found in the mansion by Fenggu Jincheng. They were mostly written three years ago in Jiaqing. Worried about slander and fear of ridicule, carefully reviewed the sentence without any complaints and hopes, and violated the statement. It is actually Kui Fuyin who was resentful when he went to Changshi. But he brought his concubine to the cemetery in private, and gave birth to a daughter in the national service for a year. It is really heartless and shameless. I have decreed that I will be dismissed from the position of the public title, and I am still confined at home to make her think about her mistakes behind closed doors. This is the punishment. It is enough to cover the innocent, and the others are all misdemeanors.Jiaqing's decree can be regarded as an absolution for Fengshen Yinde.

After Fengshen Yinde was middle-aged, because of being confined at home for many years, he became even more desireless.He devoted himself to Taoism, and often communicated with alchemists and Taoist priests. He advocated inaction, practiced boxing and sticks, practiced martial arts, and talked about health preservation. He called himself a Taoist.Fengshen Yinde was originally physically weak, and his father was executed, and his mood was always depressed. In addition, he indulged in sensuality, so his physique was aging day by day, and his thoughts became more decadent. His "Eight Poems of Observing Me and Observing Objects" reflects his depression and negativity: fame and career are in vain, and the sentence on the epitaph shows that he has really smoothed his temper and seen through the world Vicissitudes.

It is precisely because of Fengshen Yinde's performance of having no desires and no demands that Jiaqing is very relieved.In the 11th year of Jiaqing (1806), Emperor Jiaqing granted Fengshen Yinde the first-class bodyguard on the grounds that the couple had a good relationship with Princess Xiao, and Fengshen Yinde was also obedient and obedient, promoted him to be the first-class guard, promoted him to be the deputy capital, and bestowed the earl title.At this time, he was already sick. Soon, he was ordered to go out of Beijing to work in the Uliasutai area in the northwest frontier as a minister of Sanzhi.

In February of the 15th year of Jiaqing (1810), Fengshen Yinde's condition worsened further, and it was really difficult to persist, so he asked for dismissal and returned to Beijing.Although he sought medical treatment in many ways, he died in May of that year at the age of thirty-six.Before he died, Emperor Jiaqing rewarded him with the title of duke for his careful service.Fengshen Yinde had no children in his life, only two daughters, and the two daughters were still young when he died.Later, Gu Lun and Princess Xiao adopted a son named Fu En.Fuen inherited the third-class captaincy of light vehicles.

After the defeat of Heshen, Fengshen Yinde fell into a slump, and the family affairs were neglected. Almost all the affairs of Hejia fell on Gu Lun and Princess Xiao, and she cared about every detail.Because she was a relative of the emperor, Emperor Jiaqing and later Emperor Daoguang took good care of her family. They rewarded her family with silver and goods many times, and sent officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help her family collect rent and manage money.Gu Lun and Princess Xiao are very capable and good at managing the family. The family and others say that she manages the house as seriously as inside and outside the house, and relies on her well-off life.

In September of the third year of Daoguang (1823), Gu Lun and Princess Xiao died of illness at the age of forty-nine.Emperor Daoguang gave silver to support the funeral, and visited the princess mourning hall to pay homage.The princess who was very much loved by Emperor Qianlong finally spent her ill-fated life in stumbling. Fengshen Yimian, the son of Helin, was originally named Liangfu and named Cungu.He knows a little about poetry and prose, and he is good at geomantic omen. The so-called geomantic omen is to look at geomantic omen. He is often invited by rich and powerful people to investigate geomantic omens, and he is very popular.After He Shen was bestowed with death, his title of duke was taken away, leaving only the third-class captaincy of light vehicles, who was unemployed at home. Due to the relationship with Shen, Fengshen Yimian could not gain the emperor's trust politically, and was depressed and depressed at a young age.On weekdays, he drank his sorrows with alcohol, and frequently went to and from romantic places. As time passed, his body gradually became unable to support him, and he passed away within a few years.Leaving behind a son and a daughter, still young.In addition, one daughter of Heshen was married to Baylor Yongjian; one daughter of Helin was married to Prince Mianqing. Because of being implicated by Heshen, his family members and descendants quickly slipped to ordinary families, but they were not punished and exiled.Although most of the family business was confiscated into the government, but because of the emperor's kindness, it was not completely bankrupt.Although submerged among all living beings, he passed through generation after generation safely and passed on the He family.
