He Shen, a famous corrupt official in history, is a domineering and cunning villain. Although Emperor Qianlong was wise, mighty and perceptive, he turned a blind eye to his despicable behavior and instead trusted him even more. What is the reason for this? Does Heshen have irresistible magic? Or is it because he is good at figuring out the emperor's will and flattering him? Or, as the legend says, he is the "reincarnation of the concubine"... There are various speculations, each holding its own, and the reasons are worth pondering.
Objectively speaking, He Shen has a side of being a capable minister, but this side has been gradually forgotten and ignored by people because he was labeled as a corrupt official. He Shen has a corrupt official side, and this side has gradually been magnified without limit in official texts and folklore, so much so that He Shen's true face has been covered up.
This book uses humorous language and literary form to present you a true Heshen from all aspects and angles. In fact, the corrupt official Heshen is also an ordinary person with seven emotions and six desires. He also values the relationship between husband and wife, brothers, and friends, and he also has a kind side.
In short, getting closer to Heshen's ups and downs and dramatic life will undoubtedly give you more understanding of human nature and history.
