Chapter 47 Chapter 3 Rectification of Colleagues Those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish

establish awe-inspiring With strength and a favorable situation, it does not mean that you will surely succeed, because many people do not know your strength, so you should take the right opportunity to properly display your strength, shake your prestige, and let others see it. Your power and power, so as not to be misjudged by others and cause a situation that is unfavorable to you. In the officialdom, if you don't establish your own authority, you may be despised by those who bully the good and fear the evil, thinking you are weak and powerless.In fact, we can’t blame some people for being blind, because most people always succumb to authority. If you have authority, you are right; if you have no power, you are wrong everywhere.On the one hand, authority comes from your innate supremacy, such as Emperor Qianlong; on the other hand, it is obtained by yourself, such as Heshen.

When Qianlong was alive, he repeatedly flaunted his literary and martial arts, especially he was complacent about his achievements in the cultural field.Qianlong not only liked the collection of cultural relics and treasures, but also had great ambitions in sorting out and compiling great works.He even compiled a masterpiece that surpassed the compilations of "Taiping Guangji", "Taiping Yulan", and "Wenyuan Yinghua" in the Song Dynasty, "Yongle Dadian" in the Ming Dynasty, and "The Collection of Ancient and Modern Books" compiled by his grandfather Kangxi. The whole book".

Qianlong attached great importance to the "Siku Quanshu", and had changed the president of the book several times to show his solemnity to the book.In October of the forty-fifth year of Qianlong (1780), He Shen was appointed as the president.According to Qing historical archives: On October 15th, the forty-five year of Qianlong, the cabinet issued an edict, and He Shen was appointed as the president of the Sikuguan.This is it. Heshen took this position as a matter of course. He has loved literature and ink since he was a child, and has a little dabble in poetry and poetry. In addition, he has been with Emperor Qianlong for many years, and he has been influenced by his ears and eyes.However, in order to please Qianlong, he even launched a literary prison, which made some scholars unhappy. The famous scholar Sun Xingyan is one of them.Sun Xingyan's personality is upright and self-reliant, he doesn't follow popular customs, and he never likes to dump the powerful.At that time, many handsome men often received Heshen, but Sun Xingyan never interacted with Heshen. Therefore, Heshen always held a grudge against him and always wanted to find opportunities to frame him.

Once, Sun Xingyan tried "Li Zhi Fu" in Sanguan, citing "Historical Records.Chapters and sentences in Lu Shijia.He Shen didn't know some of the characters, so he thought that Xing Yan had written a typo, severely criticized him, and put Xing Yan in the second class, and used it instead as a member (minister).At this time, He Shen was also in charge of the Imperial Academy. He had invited Sun Xingyan to interview several times, but Sun refused all of them.He Shen held a grudge against him even more. In order to show that his majesty was inviolable, he found an excuse to demote Sun Xingyan to the head of the Zhili Department of the Ministry of Punishment.

Not only that, when He Shen was the official president and president who compiled these official books, he often read the manuscripts, and liked to pick out other people's corruptions, typos, and improper compilations, and then presented them to Qianlong for reading, and took the opportunity to attack talented people. , to establish their own image.For example, Ji Yun, Lu Feichi and others were reprimanded, downgraded or compensated many times for compiling the "Siku Quanshu", while Lu Feichi and others were almost ruined and their families were ruined.It can be seen that in order to establish an image for himself, He Shen completely disregarded the pain and disasters of others.

As for those who are on the fence, the so-called wall-riding faction, He Shen thinks that they are not terrible. They are not his real enemies. The most terrifying people who are against him and refuse to bow their heads are the real natural enemies.Therefore, for these diehards who are against him, He Shen never shows mercy. Whenever he has the opportunity, he will beat them one by one, so that they will never have the opportunity to compete with him. Li Shiyao, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, has always relied on the old to sell the old, and the old man has a high position. He usually looks down on Heshen, and Heshen takes the title.Therefore, Heshen seized the opportunity of Haining to impeach Li Shiyao to ask for bribes and accept bribes, and asked to go to Yunnan to investigate him in person. Finally, Heshen seized his handle and asked Qianlong to order Li Shiyao to be imprisoned.

Agui, the Chief Assistant Minister of the Military Aircraft Department, was born in a generation of nobles. He has repeatedly made military exploits and won the favor of Qianlong. He is a minister Qianlong relies on.Therefore, if He Shen wants to consolidate his position, he must suppress or win over Agui, in short, he must eliminate this threat. So He Shen began to deliberately look for an opportunity to bring down A Gui, and planted the crime on A Gui whenever he had the opportunity.Because Qianlong often sent Agui to handle some big and important cases, such as Fukang'an asked Li Tianpei to buy timber for private transportation by water boat, and tried the Fulehun corruption case.He Shen always wanted to take the opportunity to lure the criminal to accuse A Gui when he was handling these cases, or to put a big hat on A Gui to cover up the criminal.But Agui has always been upright and honest, and was favored by Qianlong, so even if Agui was plotted by Heshen many times, He couldn't help him in the end.

In this way, Agui, who had always looked down on He Shen's haughty look, didn't take He Shen seriously any more, and made excuses whenever he encountered him.If you are not in the same Zhilu, if you enter Zhizhi day and night, you will be tens of Wu (meaning tens of steps).He Shen talked with the words, responded casually, and never moved a step.Ah Gui Nei thought of being a general and minister, and he received incomparable favors and encounters. He just sat and watched his chaotic government.All these things made He Shen more grudge against A Gui and gritted his teeth. Once, the military plane Zhang Jing and Yuanwai Lang Haisheng beat and killed his wife, and reported that his wife had hanged herself to death.He Shen has been waiting for the opportunity to rectify Ah Gui, and now that the opportunity comes to him, he makes a big fuss, secretly instructing Gui Ning to sue, and try to direct all responsibilities to A Gui, and he will support him and report to his sister Vengeance for being killed.Gui Ning thought that if He Shen could support him, he would kill Hai Sheng to avenge his sister, so he would be even more rampant, so he readily agreed.So he told He Shen that Cao Wenzhi could testify that Agui protected Haisheng.Heshen found Cao Wenzhi and offered him a lot of money to be a high-ranking official. However, Wenzhi was very upright, so it was not Ah Heshen, and his mother decided to retire.Cao Wenzhi knew that Agui was clean and honest, but he couldn't offend the big celebrity He Shen, so after much deliberation, he had to make excuses to say that his mother was old, resigned from office and went into seclusion, and left.He Shen, who was so enthusiastic, had no proof and could not do anything to A Gui, so he had to continue to compromise with A Gui, keeping a close distance with A Gui, and from the beginning to the end, He Shen failed to bring down A Gui before he died. he.

In the Military Aircraft Department, Wang Jie and Dong Gao have always been friends with Ah Gui.When Heshen was in power, Dong and Wang Ge lived in solitary contemplation, never collaborating with Heshen.He Shen always wanted to take the opportunity to drive Wang Jie and Dong Gao out of the Military Aircraft Department, trying to cut off A Gui's right-hand man, but Qianlong liked Wang Jie's knowledge and conduct very much, and Dong Gao was also valued by Qianlong.He Shen can't do anything. Seeing that he could not bring down Ah Gui, and even his followers could not be shaken, He Shen couldn't help becoming angry. In order to deter others, he had to vent his anger on a low-ranking official in the court. Brother, and reprimanded his car for violating the regulations, burned He Shen's carriage with a fire, and said: This car is no longer worthy of a prime minister.He Shen remained calm on the surface, but it didn't take long before he took the opportunity to pretend to be impeached and resigned from office.

It seems that He Shen is well versed in the principle that if you don't make a show, you can make a blockbuster. He treats dissidents either superficially, or beats them to death with a stick so as not to let them revive.There is absolutely no third way to go.
