Chapter 23 The second chapter is exquisite, cunning and embarrassing, the way of life

Chapter 1 Clinging to the Boss, Being Compassionate, and Cultivating Your Desire Slaves should act like slaves For those self-cleaning people who dare to offend Yan Zhizhi and are upright, He Shen, a veteran of the officialdom, has always dismissed them.The reason why He Shen was able to serve Qianlong comfortably, so that he himself skyrocketed, in fact, he only needs to do one sentence to be a person who is good at charming. He Shen is a treacherous and cunning person. In order to gain the emperor's favor and achieve the goal of controlling power, he has worked hard.He is obedient to his master, and considers his master's needs very comprehensively. He can even do things that his master may not even think of, giving people the feeling of a slave who has no opinion.And those so-called loyal ministers and good generals have their own beliefs and rules; therefore, the military ministers in the court often attach great importance to their own identities, and even if they report to the emperor, they must pay attention to maintaining their dignity.Everything will be considered, and he will never be out of line or deviant. In this way, he not only limits himself, but also alienates the emperor.

In fact, He Shen knows best that those so-called frames are always prepared for others, and it doesn't matter what others think of him, as long as he can be appreciated by his master.In order to achieve one's own goals, one must dare to be despised by others. All ethical principles and social morals are false; in order to make the master happy, there is no limit that cannot be surpassed.The effect of this is very obvious. After crossing all kinds of obstacles that are insurmountable by others, they can often achieve the purpose of the master, and thus be appreciated by the master, and get the grace and glory that others cannot obtain.

During the Qianlong period, all the ministers in the court had great talents and virtues, and He Shen could only be regarded as a foil among them.You must know that among the ministers who were officials in the same dynasty as Heshen, there are several whose names have been immortalized through the ages.University scholar Agui has made great achievements in battle, and he is not angry and prestige in the court; and the talented Liu Yong is from a famous family and is famous all over the world; there is also Ji Xiaolan who is outstanding in talent and full of knowledge. How can He Shen overwhelm them?It can be seen that the reason why He Shen can excel is not just relying on his own true talents and learning.Because he knew that with his own talent, he might get a good position in the court, but he couldn't realize his dream of ruling the world.

To be honest, He Shen's talent and learning are also very good, but unfortunately there were so many fierce people in the court back then, it seemed that He Shen was a bit behind.To outwit them, he had to find his own way.Therefore, He Shen tried not to show off literature in front of Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan, and did not talk about military affairs with Agui; instead, he behaved submissively in front of Qianlong. vanity.He Shen won Qianlong's favor with his daily performance and made up for his own shortcomings.There is such a record in the history books: Every time the emperor coughed, He Shen would enter it with a drowning device.It can be seen that Heshen also served Qianlong meticulously in the details of life.He also often chatted with Qianlong about family affairs, and told some jokes that Qianlong rarely heard in the market, which made Qianlong laugh out loud and made it even more difficult for Qianlong to leave Heshen.

He Shen has one advantage, that is, he can always correctly grasp Qianlong's mind, which may be the reason why he is often inseparable from Qianlong.After staying together for a long time, it is inevitable to understand a person's behavior habits and psychological activities.The emperors of feudal dynasties, although they claim to be the proud sons of heaven, are after all flesh and blood with feelings and thoughts.But due to the strict rules and regulations, they often feel lonely and lonely.Qianlong has been in power for sixty years, and he has witnessed his ministers leaving one after another. Most of the court officials are newly promoted officials; and the princes of Qianlong are fighting openly and secretly for the seat behind them, resulting in the absence of family affection. It is the so-called ruthless emperor's family since ancient times. In addition, Empress Xiaoxian passed away before him, and her heart was even more helpless and lonely.He Shen, who is good at observing words and expressions, took the opportunity to fill in the vacancy.Qianlong, who has no emotional support, suddenly has a Heshen who understands himself, how can he not be comforted?Therefore, Qianlong was inseparable from Heshen almost all the time in his life, and Heshen also relied on Qianlong's favor to do whatever he wanted.

Of course, in order to achieve the goal of getting closer to the emperor and become Qianlong's spokesperson, Heshen must behave submissively in front of Qianlong, so that Qianlong can rest assured.It is not easy to achieve this, and it is at the cost of constantly losing the moral bottom line. He has thickened his skin under the cynicism and sarcasm of the ministers in the DPRK and China, and he can calmly face the ridicule and disdain of others, but he also bears the reputation of being shameless! Since He Shen made up his mind to be Qianlong's slave, he tried his best to show the appearance of a qualified slave in front of Qianlong.In order to balance his distorted psychology, he asked all the ministers to treat him like he did to Qianlong. There is such a record in the "Drafts of Qing History": Heshen took the opportunity to provoke and trap those who did not attach themselves, while those who took bribes played around, excused or deliberately delayed the matter, and waited until the emperor's anger had passed, as if nothing had happened Bring it up, so as not to let it go.In this way, He Shen relied on willingly giving up his dignity in front of the emperor in exchange for the attachment of the ministers, so that the entire court was gradually shrouded in his lust.

He Shen is a serious person. As a slave, he will try his best to do a good job of the slave, put aside those secular rules and precepts, and make himself a complete slave in front of the emperor, and thus become the second emperor with power over the world. Isn't that true? Should it cause those who are looking forward and backward in doing things, who are timid and unable to fully devote themselves to their work to think deeply?
