Chapter 59 brothers help each other

As the old saying goes, one person achieves the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. Since Heshen was favored by Qianlong, his family members have also enjoyed prosperity under the protection of the great emperor.Among He Shen's family members, he has the closest relationship with his younger brother He Lin.The two experienced family misfortune together, and it wasn't until He Shen made a fortune that He Lin was able to flourish. The two began to live together very early. He Shen took the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother since he was a child. When he was a little older, the two entered the official school of Xian'an Palace together. They encouraged and helped each other. brotherhood.

Although He Shen and He Lin encountered misfortune in the middle way, they did not give up on themselves, nor did they join forces with ordinary princes and brothers, and drifted with the tide.They are still assiduous and studious, which laid a good foundation for future officials. He Shen is a little older, handsome, talented, cautious, and talented in dealing with interpersonal relationships. He mainly studies poetry and articles and the way of being an official.Helin has a straightforward personality and doesn't like to calculate others.In addition to the poetry courses in the official school, he also studied the art of war and studied many ancient war cases.Brothers He Shen and He Lin worked hard and studied hard, and they have both civil and military skills.

Thanks to the hard study of He Shen and He Lin in their youth, it is possible for them to develop in the future.He Shen later inherited the hereditary position of the third-class captain of light vehicles from his ancestors, and He Lin could no longer inherit it.However, after working hard, he soon became a Manchurian literati bitieshi. Bi Tie Shi is a very small Zhima official, the highest is only the sixth rank, but He Lin is a stable person, serious in work, and has a good political performance.Soon, He Lin was promoted to the Ministry of Officials.The Ministry of Officials belongs to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is collectively known as Kedao together with the supervisory censor. It is responsible for copying and distributing inscriptions, reviewing memorials, and supervising the official affairs of the six ministries, temples, government offices, and supervisors.

Since then, as He Shen's status in the court has become higher and higher, He Lin's official position has also risen higher and higher.And was sent by Heshen to Agui as a military attache.He Lin has always been safe in handling things, and his elder brother He Shen created opportunities for him, allowing him to take over the Zhejiang deficit case and was soon promoted to a cabinet bachelor. equal rank. In the fifty-sixth year of Qianlong (1791), the Gurkhas (now Nepal and other places) invaded Tibet and the former Tibet area due to trade disputes. General, lead troops from Sauron, Jilin, Sichuan, and Shaanxi to crusade.Co-organizer Sun Shiyi was in charge of the food and payment, and He Lin was appointed as the minister in Tibet, responsible for supervising the supply of food and payment in the former Tibet area.In July of the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong (1792), the Gurkhas surrendered and the Qing army won. Qianlong sent Helin to stay in Tibet to take care of the aftermath.

He Lin stayed in Tibet for three full years, always working steadily and hardworking.Tibet is located on a high plateau with a cold climate. There are no local vegetables and fruits, so food can only be transshipped through Sichuan, and fresh vegetables are rarely eaten.Sergeant life is not used to.Once, the garrison received cucumbers and eggplants transported from other places. The sergeants were very happy. He Lin actually wrote a poem: "It is better to enjoy cucumbers and purple eggplants than to get Buddha's tooth from the Western Regions."Chanting poems, chewing and picking silver lamps, melons and eggplants have a soul and a confidant.His optimism can be seen.

In the frontier where life is difficult, Helin has accomplished the tasks entrusted by the court brilliantly.He Shen took great care of his younger brother. He once wanted to transfer He Lin back to the capital through activities, but He Lin himself refused to agree. He insisted that he would complete the task, and He Shen no longer insisted. Here, He Lin takes pleasure in suffering, and once wrote a very interesting poem "Xizhao Four Seasons Song", which describes the scenery and feelings of the four seasons, which is very interesting: In spring, don't be surprised that after spring comes, the chill will be stronger than before.The sun is shining through the small window, and the desert is sparsely populated.In summer, Shanyang is in April and May, and the greenery is gradually growing.The grass is old and just full-inch, and the flowers are rare and unknown.In autumn, the pond is suitable for bathing Buddha, and the barley is gradually stored.I prefer thick suet, so I can chew it first.In winter, charcoal is used for the next day, and the pond is half dried up with ice.The dry grass returns to the horses, and the cold catches the flies.A true record of life on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Soon, He Lin was appointed governor of Sichuan because of her outstanding political achievements. In the sixty years of Qianlong (1795), uprisings led by Miao people Shi Liudeng, Wu Bansheng, and Shi Sanbao broke out in Guizhou and Hunan.Qianlong immediately ordered Fukang'an, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and He Lin, the governor of Sichuan, to suppress.Regardless of the dust and dust, He Lin immediately went to the battlefield and defeated the rebel army.He also cooperated with Fukang'an and went down to more than 70 villages of the rebel army. He Lin played a very important role in suppressing the Miao people's uprising. Later, he led his troops to attack Yanbi Mountain and captured the leader of the rebel army alive Wu Bansheng.

Seeing Helin's great contribution, Qianlong was delighted immediately. He rewarded Helin with double eyes and appointed him as a military counselor.In October of the 60th year of Qianlong (1795), Helin won many battles, and Qianlong rewarded him with the Huangli Yuangu Duanzhang, and added the crown prince Taibao.After several battles, Helin established her position in the army. In the spring of the second year, Fukang'an died of illness in the army, and He Lin acted as an agent of military affairs, and led troops to capture the leader of the rebel army Shi Sanbao and others.It's a pity that it corresponds to an old saying: there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have good fortune and misfortune.In August of the first year of Jiaqing (1796), He Lin continued to march northward and led his troops to besiege Pinglong, and died of miasma.His concubine Yin Yunqing died for him, and before she died, she said to He Shen: Although there are many shortcomings, you can live and die without regret.He Lin was in her prime, unfortunately died, and held several positions, such as doctor Guanglu, minister of the Ministry of war, censor of the ancient capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, governor of Sichuan, etc.It can be seen that when Helin was in power at that time, Qianlong bestowed five thousand taels of silver, and also bestowed the Dharani scriptures and quilts, gave sacrifices and burials, and ordered them to be served in the Taimiao.At the same time, his family was allowed to build a special temple to pay homage.

He Lin is the closest person to He Shen, and it can be said that He Shen has worked hard to cultivate He Lin.Seeing that his younger brother died young when he was in full swing in his official career, He Shen couldn't help feeling sad. In order to mourn his younger brother who had been dependent on him since childhood, he wrote "Fifteen Elegy Poems" with tears in his eyes.He also said: Xizhai's younger brother, the governor of Miaojiang, died of miasma. In addition to mourning, he wrote fifteen elegiac poems.One of them is as follows, which shows the deep affection between brothers:

My compatriots are three years younger than me, and the younger ones live together with the poets and bookmakers; The eunuchs have been separated for five years, and so far the news has been borrowed from Hongyu. Seeing that you are an adult to support your poverty, and your children and daughters are married and work frequently; How to make a funeral for the camp again, who will send me off in the future. In life, there will be few dreams, but Huae can be sad and frightened by wild geese; Revisiting the old residence, the soul is broken, and the swallows in the sky do not hear the warblers.

The Heshi brothers have lived in harmony since childhood and depended on each other for life.After adulthood, they went back and forth in official careers and often couldn't see each other, but Heshen still often supported Helin's family. Heshen's marriage of a daughter-in-law and daughter's marriage were all arranged by Heshen.After He Lin died, it was He Shen who organized the funeral for him.The elder brother is like a father, when he sees He Lin's former residence go to the empty building and cannot hear the old singing and swallows, how can He Shen not feel sad and sad? He Shen also wrote a poem for Yin Yunqing, He Lin's favorite concubine: the new poem is as cold as frost, and the family name is fragrant through the ages;My brother, Yingling, believes in God, so I would like to join hands with Yetaichun; in the future, the picture will be on Lingyan, and a righteous person will be added.In the preface, He Shen wrote such a sentence: My younger brother is successful and famous, but he regrets that he will never live forever. He has invited nine different honors, and his beloved concubine Yunqing died for him. carry on.Feeling that he left poems to say goodbye, heartache and tears, and short sentences were made, and the words were unwritten, chatting for nothing.It can be said that the relationship between the He brothers is a rare true feeling in He Shen's heart. In the fourth year of Jiaqing (1799), Emperor Qianlong passed away, and Emperor Jiaqing was in charge. After Heshen was granted death, Helin was also accused of using Heshen's power to claim credit for suppressing the Miao people's uprising. Due to the responsibility for the war, He Lin's memorial tablet was withdrawn from the Taimiao, his special temple was also demolished, and the duke inherited by his son Fengshen Yimian was deprived and changed to the third-class light car captain.Due to the decline of the family, Fengshen Yimian relies on good Kanyu, and the noble family strives to make ends meet.The family accident also made Fengshen Yimian extremely depressed, so he indulged in drinking and sex. During the Jiaqing period, he died of labor pain, leaving only a four-year-old son.Thinking about how beautiful He Lin was under the protection and promotion of her elder brother He Shen during her lifetime, and in the end because of the downfall of her elder brother He Shen, she was in vain. Let future generations comment.
