Niu Hulu He yan, the favorite of the Qianlong Dynasty's powerful and monstrous powers, is believed to have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the fourth year of Jiaqing, in 1799, just 10 days after the death of the Qianlong Emperor, He Yan was given to commit suicide at the age of 49.

Because of his "great greed", He yan became the target of public criticism in film and television works, and almost all the important ministers of the Qianlong Dynasty and jiaqing dynasty became the opponents of hezhen. Ji Yun, Liu Yong, Qian Feng, and Wang Jie, all of whom had left a strong mark on the history of the Qing Dynasty, all came to the battlefield to confront Hezhen. So who in history really overthrew Hezhen? Let's explore them one by one.
Portrait of Ji Yun
Ji Yun, also spelled Xiaolan, was one of the Qianlong Emperor's most trusted ministers. Ji Yun, who was born in 1724, was 26 years older than Hezhen. Although Ji Yun's literary attainments are second to none, his ability to govern the country and manage his finances is far inferior to that of Hezhen. Ji Yun, who is veteran and sleek, is well aware of his shortcomings and admires Hezhen's comprehensive ability, although the two will also have conflicts due to political disagreements, but the relationship between the two has not deteriorated. On the contrary, the older Ji Yun often kindly reminded Hezhen, who was gradually inflated because of his favor, to pay attention to his words and deeds.
Moreover, if there was a discord between he and Ji Yun, the two ministers whom the Qianlong Emperor trusted and relied on the most, how could the Qianlong Emperor sit idly by? Ji Yun's overthrow of He Yanyi did not hold.
Portrait of Liu Yong
Liu Yong, along with Ji Yun and He Yan, listed the "Three Great Halls" of the Qianlong Dynasty. First of all, it should be noted that there is no historical data to confirm that Liu Yong is a "Luo Pot". Born in 1719, Liu Yong was 31 years older than He Yan, and by the time He Yan was in the middle hall and became a corrupt person with a desire for profit, Liu Yong was already sixty-five years old.
Entering his later years, Liu Yong slowly lost interest and enthusiasm for the government, and at the same time, seeing that the Qianlong Emperor attached great importance to and trusted Hezhen, Liu Yong chose the way of being an official who was wise and self-protective and rarely confused. According to the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", since the forty-eighth year of Qianlong, Liu Yong was repeatedly reprimanded by the Qianlong Emperor for his unfavorable handling of affairs and his lax and passive handling of things, and this was the period when Hezhen's power was monstrous and invincible. It can be seen from this that Liu Yong, as the head of the imperial history, did not oppose or overthrow Hezhen's thoughts and behaviors, and even chose a negative attitude towards Hezhen's corruption.
Portrait of Qian Feng
Qian Feng, the famous iron-blooded imperial history of the Qianlong Dynasty, whose upright and masculine way of being an official was evaluated by the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty" as a gengzhi minister who "shook the sea with a straight voice".
Of course, Yushi Qianfeng, who is high and bright, will certainly not be accustomed to Hezhen's corrupt behavior, and he is also the most fierce and direct person among all the people who oppose Hezhen. Qian Feng rose to fame for impeaching the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Bi Yuan, for corruption, which shook the whole country, and then repeatedly called out Ban he and Yan, directly or indirectly sabotaging many of Hezhen's corruption plots. However, after the impeachment of The Inspector of Shandong Guotai for embezzling Treasury Bank, Qian Feng, who was too blunt, offended the Qianlong Emperor who was involved in the case, was demoted and dealt with, and was never reused, and until Qianlong's death in the sixtieth year, he could not find any more opportunities for impeachment and punishment.
Portrait of Wang Jie
Wang Jie, Qianlong Dynasty Leader, Jiaqing Dynasty First Auxiliary Minister. Born in 1725, Wang Jiebi and Yan da were 25 years old. As the first minister of the Qing Dynasty in Shanxi, Wang Jie was a clean official and clean in politics. Wang Jie only became the Minister of Military Aircraft in the fifty-first year of Qianlong, when he was at the height of his popularity.
Wang Jie, who was upright and hated corruption, was often deliberately retaliated against by Hezhen because of repeated impeachment and satire, but because Wang Jie was clean and flawless, he could not once let Hezhen find a handle and retaliate successfully.
However, until Qianlong Zen ascended the throne and the Jiaqing Emperor succeeded to the throne, Wang Jie also failed to gather enough evidence to overthrow Hezhen. Xiao Bian believed that even if there was enough evidence, the Qianlong Emperor would not allow He Yan to fall.
Jiaqing Emperor
So who is the person who will really bring down Hezhen? In fact, it is not so entangled, he is the successor of the Qianlong Emperor - the Jiaqing Emperor. Although this seems a bit superfluous, as far as he was concerned about his power and position at that time, without the direct action of the Jiaqing Emperor, I am afraid that no one would have the strength to overthrow Hezhen.
After Qianlong Ascended the Throne, he's status and power far surpassed that of the Jiaqing Emperor, and he even had the title of "Second Emperor", often issuing decrees in the name of the Qianlong Emperor and controlling the government, while Jiaqing, who had only the name of the emperor, had no real power. After the death of the Qianlong Emperor, did he yan, who was a powerful bully, not be killed?
In the late Qianlong period, official corruption became the norm and the government became corrupt, and in order to reorganize the program of the dynasty and rectify the rule of officials, He yan was the negative teaching material that the Jiaqing Emperor did not tolerate. "Killing Hezhen to deter hundreds of officials" was the main purpose of the Jiaqing Emperor.
The Qianlong Emperor
Therefore, when the Qianlong Emperor was alive, no one, including the Jiaqing Emperor, who had already ascended the throne, could overthrow Hezhen. However, "it is not that the time has not yet come", the Jiaqing Emperor waited until the time when Qianlong died and the power was in his hands. This embezzlement amount exceeded the sum of the "fifteen years of tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty government" in the end, and the Jiaqing Emperor ended his glorious and evil life.
Who do you think was the last straw that crushed Washu?
