The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 781 Why is Qianlong a cold political machine? Heshen was richer than the national treasury? Qin Shihuang: Slightly inferior to me!
[Why do many people say that Qianlong is just a cold political machine? ]

As soon as these words came out on the sky curtain, everyone was stunned.

Then I began to taste it with great interest.

The new word "machine" is really confusing.

I heard that it is used by people from different time and space to describe rigid and heartless things.

Comparing an emperor to this kind of thing is a really bold evaluation.

Could it be that Emperor Qianlong was cold towards others and rigid in his work?
I heard that Qianlong loved to show off his elegance and was often fond of writing calligraphy and composing poems. How could he be evaluated like this?

Could it be that he was too strict in the court, which is why later generations said this?

This is really new, and the more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes.

【Rather than being a political machine, Qianlong was more like an absolute rational person.】

[He will not let his emotions affect his decision-making. ]

[Nor will they change their governing policies because of their personal likes and dislikes.]

[Once he leaves the office area, he becomes very emotional and delicate.]

[When I enter the office area, I throw my emotions away. ]

[The political machine, I guess, is referring to this aspect.]

[He was very filial to his mother, but he didn't let her interfere in government affairs.]

[I am very close to my ministers, but I can still reward those who have made contributions and punish those who have made mistakes! ]

[Even if my childhood friend Nianqin loses the battle, he will still be beheaded in front of the army! ]

[Liu Tongxun is always the same. He will go to jail if he makes a mistake! ]

[It is said that in the Battle of Heishuiying, Qianlong made a mistake in judgment, but fortunately Zhaohui won. ]

[When Zhaohui returned to the capital, Emperor Qianlong personally led his horse to apologize.]

[Qianlong was emotionally rich, yet extremely rational.]

Barrage:

——"Qianlong is quite real. He is meticulous at work, but he is a man of character in life."

——"He can even kill his childhood friend. This boss is really a ruthless person."

——"It turns out that Qianlong is a double-door air conditioner, which can be switched between office mode and life mode freely!"

——"Don't laugh. Many modern leaders can't separate public and private affairs like him."

——"If my mother interferes with my work, I dare not control her. Qianlong is really courageous."

——"This is clearly a great example of work-life separation!"

——"Liu Tongxun: Why didn't I realize you were so cruel when I was your teacher?"

——"It's not cold-bloodedness, it's the ability to tell the difference. This is the most rare quality. Today's officials should learn from this!"

……

Qin Dynasty plane.

This discussion is quite interesting. People in later generations actually evaluated the Qing emperor in this way.

The so-called political machine is nothing more than someone who knows how to make choices.

When I unified the six kingdoms, I burned books and buried scholars. Didn't this show my determination even more?

This Qianlong had some insight and knew when to make a decision.

But compared to me, he is too indecisive.

Lead the horse in person to make amends?

If it were me, I would never make such a mistake in judgement!
Even if he makes a mistake, there is no need to admit it to his ministers. The emperor has his own dignity!
When it comes to dealing with people close to me, I am even more decisive!

Since my mother has rebellious intentions, I will put her under house arrest!

This is true impartiality!

You say he can distinguish between public and private?
snort!
I never need to make distinctions, because everything I do is for Daqin!
The relationship between the ruler and his subjects, and the friendship between teachers and students, are all false in my eyes!

Unifying the world and enforcing laws for the world is the true way of an emperor.

...The Three Kingdoms plane.

After watching the discussion on the screen, Cao Cao stroked his beard and chuckled.
How can governing a country be treated as a joke?
Wasn’t it the same when I was in Xudu?
In the court, those who deserve to be killed will be killed and those who deserve to be punished will be punished without mercy!

Although the King of Wei loved him so much, he still punished him severely if he violated military orders.

Although Cao Ang was his biological son, he did not stop him when he was on the battlefield!
This is not a political machine at all; it is clearly the duty of a ruler!

But then again, when it comes to dealing with scholars and literati, don’t I know how to be kind and warm?

Although Yang Xiu is dead, I still praise his poetic talent.

Xun Yu has disagreed with me many times, but I still rely on him.

In this sense, he is somewhat similar to Emperor Qianlong.

It’s just that I know better how to strike a balance. I have to be able to command my subordinates while maintaining my dignity!
As a leader, you should be like the stars, with degrees of brightness and darkness, and reasonable advances and retreats!

[Speaking of the most prominent figure in the Qianlong period, Heshen is undoubtedly the one. ]

[This Manchu bannerman climbed from an ordinary clerk to the position of Grand Councilor.]

[Qianlong favored Heshen and even let his daughter marry Heshen's son, which made Heshen a well-deserved father-in-law of the emperor.]

[During his reign, Heshen was able to call the shots, had great power in the government and was as wealthy as a country.]

[It is said that Heshen's wealth was so amazing that even Emperor Qianlong said: "Heshen owns half of the wealth in the world."]

[However, this extremely powerful Heshen ended up with a miserable end.]

[In 1799, Qianlong, who had been in power for 60 years, died and his son Jiaqing succeeded him.]

[He Shen may have thought that he could continue to call the shots, but he didn't know that a fatal political storm was brewing. ]

[On the third day after Jiaqing ascended the throne, Heshen was dismissed from all his posts and thrown into prison.]

[The imperial court confiscated Heshen's property and found that there were 8 million taels of silver alone, which is worth more than trillion yuan in today's currency! ]

[When the house was searched, it was discovered that Heshen’s collection of jade alone filled more than 80 rooms, and his gold, silver and jewelry were countless.]

[In the end, Heshen was sentenced to death in prison, and all his huge property was confiscated.]

[Interestingly, all of this was actually within Qianlong's expectations.]

[It is said that Qianlong and Jiaqing agreed before his death that Heshen would be dealt with immediately after his death.]

[Qianlong did this, on the one hand, to recover the wealth accumulated by Heshen, and on the other hand, to clear political obstacles for the new emperor Jiaqing.]

[This is how Qianlong was so good at controlling his ministers. He made good use of them, but did not allow them to become powerful, and finally eliminated them in time.]

History has left a saying for future generations: Three years as a prefect, a hundred thousand silver coins; three years as a grain official, a fortune of several million; ten years as a chancellor, a fortune of ten thousand taels; thirty years as a Heshen, a fortune equal to half the country’s wealth.

Barrage:

——"No one can be so greedy. Eighty houses' worth of jade wares. How greedy is that!"

——"Heshen: I have become the synonym of corruption, absolutely amazing!"

——"What does 800 million taels of silver mean? This means that the entire Qing dynasty's treasury has been emptied, right?"

——"Being so greedy, he still ended up with a miserable end. This is really retribution in this life!"

——"It's not an exaggeration to say that he is rich enough to rival a country. He can really go head-on with the national treasury!"

——"It's the ugliest side of human nature that people can't get enough of this much money."

——"Old Heshen used his ability to make money to the fullest, but ended up losing his life."

——"Wow, there are 80 rooms for jade alone. Does this mean they have contracted the entire jade market of the Qing Dynasty?"

——"Qianlong: I have raised you for sixty years, isn't it just to give Jiaqing a good start?"

——"A corrupt official worth trillions of dollars, this resume would scare people to death even now."

——"To be honest, the only person who could live this long despite being so greedy is He Shen."

……

When the ancients saw this, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

high! It’s really high!

Raising a fat pig for sixty years seems to be pampering the pig, but in fact it is being observed in secret.

Not only did he make Heshen work for the court, but he also made him fall into the trap unknowingly. Such cunning is truly astonishing!
