Heshen: the Emperor's Confidant

Shen, Lin, this is not a strange book like the Chronicles of Stone. The author is also a wonderful person. It seems that he has stolen all the memories of He Shen. People are just manifestations of their life experiences. There are no good people or evil people in the world. The same experiences will create almost the same people. In the history books, there are more people than the stars in the universe. Those who can leave their names all have their own uniqueness. Among those who can reach high positions, who is dim and who is stupid? For five thousand years, if human nature remains unchanged, the world will remain unchanged. Greed, corruption, and arrogance seem to be dark and cannot see the sun. In fact, this is the biggest conspiracy. Everyone knows it, but the eyes can see it. Is the mouth used for eating or talking? If you eat, you will be speechless, and if you speak, you will starve to death. In fact, everyone in the world is greedy and wants something. Honest officials seek fame, and corrupt officials pursue profit. Bet! Are you one of the lucky ones among billions of people? Don't bet on whether you can endure the gap that is as big as the natural chasm. It is unclear, cannot be understood, and each person has his or her own understanding. The book is very good, I really recommend it

Watch less TV series. In the TV series, He Shen and Liu Yong are ugly yuppies. In fact, He Shen is a handsome man among the Manchus. He is talented at a young age and is proficient in the four languages ​​of Manchu, Han, Mongolian and Tibetan. He is a proper "language expert". Liu Yong is not far behind. Appearance was very important for officials in the Qing Dynasty. Qianlong did not often visit incognito. He usually went to the south of the Yangtze River, and the conversation and behavior between the monarch and his ministers were not as casual as in the TV series. Although there is a lot of content in the book that the author imagined and written by himself, the important things must be written about the same, and the author's writing style cannot be said. It is a readable book for those who understand Heshen.

History books are like big girls, allowed to be dressed up and edited by others, and appear in a glamorous way. Each has its own merits and has a good flavor.

The flashy life is fleeting and empty, everything is an illusion! He Shen is a corrupt official, but also a capable and powerful minister. When reading this, one feels both admiration and alarm. If Heshen is not too obsessed with power and retreats bravely at critical moments, he may be able to maintain his family's glory in the Jiaqing Dynasty. However, human nature is greedy, and prosperity must decline, and the final outcome is inevitable. As the saying goes, smart people eat honest people, and God eats smart people. When Jiaqing came to power, Heshen was exhausted, but he was arrogant and ignorant. The time and place were not conducive to him. It was Jiaqing and God wanted to accept him. He Shen had a very wonderful life, with money, power, and sex all reaching their peak. No matter how arrogant he was, how could God not accept him?

I finally finished reading this book in 7 days. From the time when Heshen's parents died and was bullied by Lai Wu into desperation, to the time when Heshen did not change his ambition and studied hard, to the official school in Xian'an Palace, which was favored by Yinglian, and then to rely on his personal accumulation of talents, scheming and nobles to gradually become a powerful minister, with power in the government and the public, and became Qianlong's confidant, feel the journey of Heshen. I feel pity for his poverty but never change his mind, I lament his methods and schemes to strategize to please Qianlong, I hate him for taking advantage of a series of methods such as the newly initiated crime bank and Chongwenmen tariff system in the government, which led to the prevalence of corruption in the government and the weakening of national power. Just as Emperor Jiaqing said at the end, Heshen was smart and agile and did many things, but he was greedy and arrogant. He would deny Qianlong in terms of his faults and deny Jiaqing in terms of his merits. Only by following his personal growth experience can we understand his love for money and his desire for power. He Shen, a person who assesses the situation, may be looking back at the ups and downs of his life in prison, perhaps sighing at the moment of prosperity and failing, perhaps lamenting his own carelessness, perhaps lamenting the emperor and his courtiers, perhaps the complacency of being willing to admit defeat and the indifference of not living a life in vain.

In the past, in history books, we only knew that He Shen was a corrupt official. This book tells his life in detail. People can't help but sigh that people are really multi-faceted. The simple strokes and sentences in history are his life. The most surprising thing in this book is He Shen's contribution to Dream of Red Mansions.

The dream that has been true for fifty years is now far away from the world of mortals.

I seem to feel something, and history seems to be rolling in. From nobody. When he reaches the position of being a great minister, he then commits suicide by Bai Ling. The human body is like a dream. Don't be blindly confident. You need to be cautious at all times and walk on thin ice.

It vividly describes He Shen's wonderful and tragic life. Although He Shen is a corrupt official, he does have certain talents. Although he is not good at fighting, he is good at investigating and dealing with corruption. It's a pity that the servant was spoiled and didn't take Jiaqing seriously, so he was eventually sentenced to death by Jiaqing. It can be said that "Success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He".

This book describes the psychological characteristics, dialogue, and demeanor of characters such as Heshen and Qianlong very wonderfully. It is narrated in a eloquent and fascinating way. I even don't know how to search for some names of people. It is like a rigorous ancient book. The plot is very organized and the relationships between the characters are clearly explained. It is obvious that the author has put great care into this work. The ending is even more clever. The storyteller tells the story of He Shen's life to end the chapter, which gives people the feeling of Huang Liang's dream, which is profound.

I feel like I still recognize He Shen's talent after watching it.

Only by not forgetting your original intention can you achieve success; Let's take a look at He Shen's early life in which he was ambitious and calculated and flattered. In the middle stage, he was obsessed with snobbery and eventually fell into ruin. In the later stage, he fought for his own way out, but he forgot that he was still a servant of the emperor's family. It can also be regarded as a bright red and a purple, with big ups and downs... Just like what is said in the Story of the Stone: Everything in this world is empty in the end.

After reading this book, it seems that Heshen's life has been completed. He is hard-working, strong in execution, smart, quick-thinking, thoughtful, familiar with psychology, versed in all kinds of poetry, lyrics and songs, and a talent among talents.

If you like history, don't miss it. The more you read, the more addictive you will be.

Good book, extremely exciting. From a down-and-out child to a powerful man, the best thing to watch is a humble beginning. In the mid-term, no one restrained him, which led to the growth of ambition, and in the end he fell short. But in fact, it also depends on what he pursues. No matter how powerful Heshen is, he actually has no intention of rebellion. At most, he just wants to be a powerful minister.

I selected this book among many books. The author's writing is smooth and logical. It can be called a peerless book [OK]

It looks good, but I don't know if it is consistent with historical facts. I have not verified whether it is consistent with historical facts, so I read it as a historical novel. What is shocking is that the publication of Dream of Red Mansions and the compilation of the last forty chapters were all facilitated by He Shen.

Very well written

Very good. I didn't expect He Shen to be a real talent.

It is wise to read history, and all institutions will be in vain and a dream in the end.

When I was a kid, I watched the TV series Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth and Ji Xiaolan only knew that He Shen was a corrupt official, but the emperor was still very partial to him. Only after reading this book did I understand the reason why Qianlong fell in love with him. It is said that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, but He Shen knew the emperor's heart and won his favor. I have to admire He Shen's observation of words and emotions and his understanding of people's hearts...

The writing is excellent and very real, but the protagonist dies too hastily. It is probably because the author cannot express the sadness of a powerful minister who confiscates his family. It is also very novel. Different from criticizing the villain, I cut into the protagonist from my perspective and let people read and understand life. It still seems to be beautifying.

It was a wonderful life. Although it is not famous in history, it has left a name in the history books. He Shen was corrupt and Qianlong was responsible. The concentration of imperial power under the old system led to the emperor's behavior directly affecting social stability factors. The ups and downs of the officialdom described in the book were all based on the emperor's thoughts. It is really sad.

A very powerful and beautiful book. I read about He Shen's life and tasted the ups and downs of life!

Use copper as a mirror to straighten your clothes and history, and use history as a mirror to know the ups and downs.

Objectively and vividly describe the joys and sorrows of the world

It's very engaging, I read it carefully in half a month Desire for power harms others and oneself.

Well written! Read it carefully

After reading it, leave a note! ! Week

Very good! Worth reading!
