Chapter 37 The second chapter subdues the subordinates to use both kindness and power, forming a party for personal gain

Receive people at all costs At the beginning of Heshen's fortune, he was just a newcomer who became popular with the emperor's appreciation for a while. His position has been rising in a straight line.However, on the other hand, it is unavoidable to make people feel that this person has no foundation, and it is difficult to have his own power in the court. It is inevitable that his words and deeds will not be adopted and ridiculed by others.Although it can be bathed in the emperor's grace for a while, it may not be able to withstand the invasion of wind and rain after a long time.Of course, He Shen knew this well, so he paid great attention to cultivating his cronies from the very beginning. For this reason, he sometimes went to the point of not hesitating at all.

Heshen's best friend, Cathay Pacific, was originally a dude with a fat head and big ears, giving people a clumsy and dull feeling.By chance, I met He Shen.Cathay Pacific couldn't help but feel that He Shen was different.But that's all, the friendship between the two is neither deep nor shallow.He Shen also felt that this person must be good, because there are many such people in the world who look simple and honest, but are actually extremely shrewd, and Cathay must be like this, so He Shen intends to win him over. But how can he win his heart?You must know that Cathay Pacific has a rich family and wealth, and it is difficult for him to be tempted by money and vulgar things, and he is willing to be loyal to him.Besides, one of my purposes of subduing Cathay Pacific is to obtain more wealth and power through him. Now I want to post it to him first, which is a bit of a departure from my original intention. Besides, that can only temporarily hold him, but it can't really make him Convinced, a deliberate arrangement by Su Ling'a finally made him get his wish.

Su Ling'a, surnamed Tala, was a native of Zhengbai Banner in Manchuria. He was elected in the sixth year of Qianlong (1741) and was appointed as a secretary in the cabinet. Later, he left Beijing to work as a Daoist in Raoguang, Jiangxi.Su Ling'a believes that this place is poor and bad, and has long made up his mind to leave, but because he has no connections, it is undoubtedly a dream come true for the emperor to transfer him to Beijing to be a high-ranking official if he wants to be promoted to the court through his political achievements.But he knew that if he didn't think of a way to transfer to the capital, he might spend his whole life in Jiangxi.

After thinking about it, Su Ling'Asi found a way that she thought was a shortcut: since she couldn't face the saint directly, it might as well use the emperor's favorites to achieve her goal.And the most favored person at that time was none other than He Shen. So, Su Ling'a did what she said, and quickly found an excuse from the court, and returned to the capital smoothly.After returning to Beijing, he tried his best to win the relationship with Heshen's younger brother He Lin every day, and he spent a lot of money every day.Later, he finally took advantage of Heshen's son's birthday to meet Heshen with Helin, and gave him four thousand taels of silver as a congratulatory gift.Unexpectedly, this congratulatory gift was very inconspicuous among those gifts offered to curry favor with He Shen, and He Shen didn't remember Su Ling'a at all.Su Ling'a was not discouraged, he was determined to impress He Shen on him.

He intended to give his daughter Nalan as a gift to Heshen, but he was afraid that it would be bad reputation, so he wanted to invite Heshen to his home as a guest and take the opportunity to let Nalan and Heshen meet.Knowing that Su Ling'a was flattering him, He Shen happily agreed.On that day, when he walked into the hall of Su Ling's home surrounded by everyone, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl ran up to He Shen.He Shen saw that the little girl looked like a jade carving, and he liked it very much.After inquiring, they found out that this girl was Su Ling'a's daughter, named Nalan.He Shen stroked the girl's hair, full of praise.

Su Ling'a is a veteran in the officialdom, how can she let go of such a great opportunity?Now Nalan Baiheshen is appointed godfather.Since then, Nalan has been in and out of Hefu frequently, and Heshen also loves her very much.Nalan and Heshen are called father-daughter relationship, but they are actually Heshen's concubine, and Heshen loves Nalan very much for a while.In this way, the relationship between Su Ling'a and He Shen is naturally one step closer.Later, when He Shen learned that Cathay Pacific had a special liking for Nalan, he reluctantly gave up his love and found an opportunity to introduce his adopted daughter to Cathay Pacific in order to win him over.

Not long after, under the auspices of Heshen, Cathay Pacific and Nalan held a wedding ceremony and officially became married. Of course, Cathay Pacific was very grateful to Heshen.Not long after the marriage, He Shen won the post of magistrate of Sicheng County for Cathay Pacific, and Su Ling'a was also promoted by He Shen to the Ministry of Officials as a servant. Everyone was happy.And He Shen suddenly had two cronies, so he was naturally very happy.The reason why He Shen asked Su Ling'a to go to the Ministry of Officials was because the Ministry of Officials was in charge of the selection and appointment of officials, so how could he not arrange for his cronies in such an important department.

Since then, Cathay Pacific, as a loyal minion of Heshen, has been deeply planted in the local area, collecting news and wealth for Heshen in the DPRK.Since then, He Shen has had several adventures in the political arena, and it was because of Cathay Pacific's interlude arrangements that he was able to escape. In order to subdue Cathay Pacific, He Shen did not hesitate to give Nalan, who is as beautiful as a flower and which he likes, as a gift. Although it is difficult to give up for a while, it is actually worthwhile to win Cathay Pacific's trust and sincerity.With this seemingly excessive effort, he has reaped unforeseen benefits.This also shows that He Shen is very foresighted, and he can bear the pain to give up his love from the perspective of the overall situation, and win a way out for himself.If Heshen is only greedy for enjoyment, he will never win the trust of others, and no one will work hard for him.
