Daily life of Heshen's pet wife

The land in Gansu is poor, the people are poor, and the officialdom is poor. It stands to reason that Wang Tingzan, as the chief envoy of a province, would never be able to spend 4 taels of private silver.As soon as Qianlong saw the words on the brochure, he became suspicious, but because there were many things in Gansu, and Wang Tingzan was also thinking about the current situation, Qianlong did not say this.

But he had something to say in his heart, and he hoped that the courtiers under him could see it. He still couldn't believe others, and always felt that he couldn't get to the point, so he just clicked on He Shen's name. Sure enough, He Shen understood what he was thinking, and said middle.

Qianlong thought of Qinggui Mingliang's troubles before. Although he dealt with some of them, he definitely didn't deal with them completely. Didn't Gansu also donate a lot of money at that time?

At that time, he didn't feel anything, and he didn't think deeply about it. Now that the situation is so severe, Qianlong is worried about the war in Gansu, and he is afraid that there will be some drags. Therefore, when he thinks about it, he feels that Gansu is still too chaotic.

Qianlong wanted to curb the unhealthy trend, and now it is his determination to reuse Heshen. Going back to the early years, you must know that Gansu is the place where prison donations are allowed.

Gansu is located in the northwest, and disasters occur frequently.

All scholars who are willing to obtain the qualifications of Guozijian Jiansheng should donate beans, wheat and grains to the local official warehouse according to the prescribed amount.

When there is a famine, these grains can be used to relieve the victims.However, in the process of implementation, it was once stopped due to many disadvantages.Later, due to various reasons, after Wang Danwang became the chief envoy of Gansu Province, he persuaded Le Erjin, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu Province, on the grounds that Gansu had experienced years of famine and insufficient storage, and that the old practice of donating grain and rice for disaster relief could be restored. Donated to prison.

Wang Danwang was later transferred from Gansu to Zhejiang, and was succeeded by Wang Tingzan.After Wang Tingzan came, prison donations continued.

Qianlong became suspicious and decided to investigate Wang Tingzan.The fighting in Gansu continues as usual, and the investigation here cannot be relaxed.It was Agui and Fu Chang'an who received the order to investigate Wang Tingzan in Gansu.

Fu Changan's wife, Shen Jiashi, also found out that she was pregnant, but this was an opportunity. He Shen had already talked with him. After the imperial decree came down, he went to Gansu and joined Agui who was also going there.

When Fu Changan left, he talked with Heshen a little worriedly, fearing that Agui would deliberately play against them in the investigation of the case in Gansu because of some past festivals, and interfere with the investigation.

He Shen reassured him.He Shen still understands Agui.

It is true that Agui has a feud with them. In other matters, He Shen is sure that Agui will fight against them if he has the opportunity, but when it comes to curbing corruption, Agui is still upright. He Shen believes that Agui I will not confront them. Ah Gui will definitely investigate the matter in Gansu and will not take the opportunity to embarrass Chang'an.

Ah Gui may have his own temper sometimes, and he is not so perfect, but in the growing unhealthy trend in the court, Ah Gui has never been with them.

Many years ago, Agui wanted to do favoritism about Haisheng, Agui's elder brother, but Heshen handled it impartially, and did not give Agui any chance to do favoritism.

In the past few years, Qianlong used Heshen heavily. He was afraid that Agui would hate Heshen if they did not deal with each other and affect the internal balance of the Military Aircraft Department. Agui often went out to fight and did not return to Beijing often.Later, Qianlong reused Qinggui and Mingliang, and He Shen was thrown away. At that time, Qianlong was greedy for pleasure, and he didn't like to let the straightforward Agui return to Beijing.

Qinggui and Mingliang stayed away, and brought Heshen closer. Qianlong was still reluctant to let Heshen go to Gansu to investigate Wang Tingzan's case. After Heshen left, he always felt that there was no one available in court. At this time, he thought of Agui. up.

It just so happened that the war on Agui's side came to an end, and Qianlong let him pass.The rest of the people who followed naturally couldn't pass Agui, but they couldn't choose people at will.Agui's people can't be re-elected, and those who follow must be smart and sensible, and more importantly, they can't be greedy.

Qianlong looked at He Shen, and immediately saw Fu Chang'an beside him who was holding his breath.

Fu Changan was born in the Fucha family, but he was not close to the sons of the Fucha family, but he was taught by Heshen to be extremely upright. The military aircraft department has never made any mistakes over the years, it seems to be the second Heshen, but He still lacks He Shen's maturity and prudence, so he should go out and experience it.

Choosing Fu Chang'an, Qianlong didn't have to worry that those who went to investigate would band together to lie and deceive him. The two sides check and balance each other, so that the case can be investigated well.

And going to Fu Chang'an is equivalent to going to Heshen, so Qianlong can feel at ease.

When Agui and Fu Changan arrived in Gansu, news came back almost every day.On the day they arrived in Gansu, Agui and Fu Chang'an wrote notes to Qianlong respectively, saying that it was raining heavily in Gansu.

In the past, Wang Danwang asked Gansu to donate prisons again, and he told Qianlong that Gansu was mostly drought-stricken and the disasters were serious, so it was necessary to help the victims when there were disasters. rain.

At this time of year, it is absolutely impossible for Gansu to rain. Unexpectedly, Aguifu went to Chang'an, but said that Gansu is raining heavily, and the climate does not look like it has been drought for years.

Then look down and down, and you will find out a shocking case.

It turns out that all the rice and grain donated by Gansu have become real silver. What they collect is not rice grain but silver. The money has not been used to help the victims in these years, because there are no victims at all, and all the officials in Gansu who have handled it are given to them. greedy.

Wang Tingzan took over as chief envoy after Wang Danwang was transferred.Wang Tingzan was originally an upright official, and he didn't have those bad habits like Qing Guimingliang. After he came to Gansu, he was very unwilling and unable to accept the corruption here, and even thought about reporting it. , and was stopped by someone.

How could he win against all the officials in Gansu Province by himself?He couldn't help it, no matter how good his will was, he couldn't stand being tortured like this every day. In the end, Wang Tingzan also followed these people. He was blinded by profit, and he worked with them, and finally embarked on the path of corruption.

When the information about the case came to Qianlong, Qianlong's head hurt and he was furious.

Thinking of the situation in Gansu, Qianlong took Governor Leer out and scolded him.How could Leerjin have no responsibility for the two chief envoys doing this in Gansu?

Wang Danwang has already been transferred to Zhejiang, but it is not unrelated to this matter.Qianlong didn't have any heart of protection at the moment. If such a hugely influential corruption case is not severely punished and investigated, it will have extremely bad effects.

There is no need for He Shen or even anyone to say anything, Qianlong himself has made the determination to strictly investigate and punish the investigation to the end, and will not be lenient.

Among those who went to Zhejiang to investigate, Qianlong chose He Lin.Qianlong ordered Chen Huizu, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, to investigate Wang Danwang, and asked He Lin to follow him to supervise the investigation, because he was afraid that some people in Zhejiang would violate Wang Danwang's protection.

It's fine if you don't check, but after checking, you know that Zhejiang is not clean at all.

Not even Chen Huizu can be trusted.The matter of Wang Danwang cannot be changed. His family property was confiscated and sent to the capital. Qianlong personally checked the list and found that the items were all ordinary, not even a lot of money. After working for so many years, it is impossible to only have such a small amount of silver.

It must be Wang Danwang who transferred the money that was corrupted by ink.

Qianlong ordered Chen Huizu and Lin to investigate further.

As a result, Chen Huizu was a little passive and sabotage in this regard, saying that he couldn't find it or couldn't find it.He Lin didn't have as many affairs as him. He Lin came with an imperial decree. Although he was assisting Chen Huizu in the investigation of the case, he actually came as Qianlong's eyeliner.

When he came here, Qianlong specially called the young man whom he trusted because of Heshen to tell the truth. Qianlong told Helin that this case must be investigated, and no matter who it is, it cannot stop the investigation of this case.If Chen Huizu has any questions, let Helin leave him alone and investigate the case by himself.

He Lin is He Shen's younger brother, and has been with He Shen for these years. Although the two brothers have different directions of dedication and hard work, the methods under He Lin's subordinates are not ambiguous at all. How could it be possible for people taught by He Shen How could he be easily fooled by Chen Huizu?

He Shen originally intended that he didn't intend to involve He Lin in this case, but after the imperial decree of Qianlong, he trusted He Lin and sent He Lin to Zhejiang to investigate the case. Naturally, He Shen let He Lin Lin is doing well.

He Lin also knew very well that in this regard, he and his brother had the same ambitions, and he was too confident in this matter. Once Chen Huizu was passive and sabotaged, He Lin was not at all ambiguous, so he felt that Chen Huizu must have The problem was found out in just a few days with Lin Leifeng.

Chen Huizu really had a problem.

This Chen Huizu himself was not a clean person, and when he met Wang Danwang again, it was an instant hit.Wang Dan hoped that those silver taels that could not be found had either been exchanged by Chen Huizu's private collection, or Chen Huizu had exchanged silver for gold.In the end, more than 1000 million silver taels were found out from Chen Huizu, of which at least 800 million belonged to Wang Danwang.

And another 300 million were found from Chen Huizu, and Wang Danwang asked him to keep it privately.

The case in Gansu involved the case in Zhejiang, all of which were of a bad nature and had serious corruption. This is a major case in which everyone from the governor to the prefectural and county officials participated in it, which is really unique.

It took almost a year for the case to be settled.

Qianlong issued an order, ordering Wang Danwang to be executed immediately, Le Erjin committed suicide, and Wang Tingzan hanged the prison marquis.Later, other officials dealt with it.As many as 56 people were taken to the execution ground one after another.Afterwards, there were 46 people who were spared from death and exiled one after another, and the officials in Gansu Province were almost "empty".

Chen Huizu committed suicide.

This time, Qinggui Mingliang and others were not involved in the chaos, and He Shen was very careful. Those officials who did not report the corruption should have been convicted together.

Qianlong had also hardened his heart at this time. He really wanted to convict these people together. It was rare for him to be consistent with Heshen. Here, Heshen is waiting for this case to come to a perfect end and teach the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty a lesson. And the blow, the result is that the upward wind direction suddenly changed.
