Although I have great power here, I am still not as powerful as my hometown.
The sky was full of stars and the moon was shining brightly. He suddenly wanted to go back and see what the earth in the parallel world was like now.
Back then, my life on earth was still vivid in my mind. Many years later, I still haven't forgotten that young childhood is always the best, without any calculations or guessing about other people's hearts.
He Shen recalled his childhood, his carefree, healthy and happy life, and a gentle smile that had not been seen for many years appeared on his face that had become cold.
A few days later, He Shen and other people walked from Shaanxi Province to Hebei Province.
From a geographical point of view, Hebei Province is like a huge and majestic lion located on the mainland, with teeth and claws.
Looking from afar, on the plaque on the door, there are three golden characters written with flying dragons and phoenixes, Juxianzhuang.
Hebei is not only the place with the best geographical location in the north and is known as a province of mountains and rivers, but also is known as the best province in the world because of its long history and culture.
The terrain of Hebei Province is high in the south and low in the north, with diverse landforms. The south is mainly mountainous, while the north is vast plains.
Hebei is a hub of east-west transportation, especially the North District of Hebei and the Yellow River Basin.
The fertile land has given the people here an optimistic and cheerful personality, and there are countless stories of talented people and beautiful ladies being romantic and beautiful.
White walls and blue tiles, built against the mountain, simple and elegant, classic style, but also has a simple and authentic charm.
He Shen's previous life, Lin Fan, had never been to Hebei, so he couldn't help but visit here carefully.
Looking at the beautiful scenery of cloud mountains and fog forests, the beauty of the Yellow River, and the dangers of high mountains, He Shen walked as he pleased and acted as he pleased. Unintentionally, his mood began to calm down.
A few days later, the tall city wall of the capital was already visible!
The area around the official road gradually became prosperous and lively. People and cars were already coming and going around Heshen's carriage at some point.
The capital city can be said to be the largest, strongest, and most majestic city during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, or even during the same period...
During the Qing Dynasty, the capital city covered an area of 3,500 miles...
The capital was established directly in the central region of North China.
"………………"
The terrain around the capital is dominated by plains and low-lying mountains. A huge city stands in the middle. From a distance, it looks like a giant beast squatting on the ground...
It is also like a palace in the sky standing high in the clouds, exuding a suffocating and heavy pressure.
The territory of the capital city runs through five major rivers.
Chaobai River and Beiyun River in the east, and Juma River in the west.
The capital city is surrounded by mountains on three sides, faces a river on one side, is surrounded by high mountains in the east, south and north directions, and faces the thousands-mile-long Yongding River in the west. It has the terrain advantage of being easy to defend but difficult to attack...
Moreover, there are city walls on all sides; the city walls are tens of meters high and dozens of meters wide. They are completely made of extremely strong bricks and tiles. They are solid and unshakable.
The outside of the city wall is also painted vermilion, and the top of the wall is covered with yellow glazed tiles.
The gate to the south of the imperial city is called Daqing Gate.
The capital is different from other cities in that it has two cities: the outer city and the inner city.
The inner city has a circumference of about 24 miles and has a total of nine gates. Old Beijing people commonly call it the "Four-Nine City", which refers to the four walls of the inner city from east to west, north and south, and its nine gates.
Looking at the tall capital, He Shen lowered the curtain, took a deep breath in the carriage, and murmured softly: "The capital has finally arrived."
Along the way, He Shen behaved very cautiously in the face of an environment full of political opponents in the capital.
However, when the capital really appeared in front of him, He Shen's mood instantly calmed down, and he even felt a little hopeful.
Because the more difficult the challenge, the more exciting it is for He Shen.
Heshen returned to his mansion. He had just stayed there for one night when a eunuch in charge of the palace came to invite Heshen into the palace to see him.
Obviously, Emperor Qianlong was very impatient.
Now, because Emperor Qianlong is congratulating the Queen Mother on her birthday, he wants to use tens of thousands of kilograms of gold to build a golden silk tower to show his filial piety...
Emperor Qianlong and the Manchu civil and military officials began to get upset...
Emperor Qianlong has been very upset these days.
During this period of time, Emperor Qianlong stayed in the palace in the Forbidden City every day, waiting for news of He Shen's return to Beijing.
In the past few years since he entered officialdom, He Shen has always responded to Qianlong's requests and has superb financial management skills...
In the lazy situation where all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were opposed, He Shen was now Emperor Qianlong's only hope to break the deadlock.
So, He Shen had just returned home, and after only staying one night, Emperor Qianlong had already received the news, and was eager to see He Shen.
Understanding the urgency in Emperor Qianlong's heart, He Shen naturally did not dare to delay.
He was riding in a carriage and rushing towards the interior of the Forbidden Imperial City as quickly as possible, following the eunuchs and supervisors in the palace.
If we say who was the most important to Heshen in overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty, then there is no doubt that it was Emperor Qianlong.
It can be said that for a long time, Heshen was inseparable from the support and help of Emperor Qianlong.
However, on the way to meet Emperor Qianlong, He Shen was thinking about how to build a golden pagoda for Empress Xiaoshengxian without using any money from the treasury!
The Empress Dowager Xiaosheng Xian, also known as Niu Hulu and Zhen Huan, was born in the heyday of Kangxi and Qianlong, which was the most prosperous period of the Qing Dynasty. Her son Hongli came to the throne as Emperor Qianlong and was revered as the Empress Dowager, with the emblem of Chongqing Empress Dowager.
According to historical records, Qianlong was the filial piety to his biological mother, Niu Hulu. Empress Dowager Zhen Huan celebrated her sixtieth, seventieth and eightieth birthdays with great grandeur.
And this birthday celebration is the second, seventieth birthday...
The first time was in the 16th year of Qianlong's reign and his 60th birthday; first, he personally produced poems, calligraphy and paintings, and then Ruyi, Buddha statues, crowns, hairpins, gold and jade, rhinoceros elephants, agate, crystal, glass, enamel, and Yi tripod. , costing one million taels of silver...
Emperor Qianlong prided himself on being a wise emperor and a holy lord. He thought highly of himself and was fond of great achievements. He compared himself to Kangxi, the holy ancestor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty...
In the twenty years since Emperor Qianlong became emperor, he has not achieved any major political achievements.
How could Emperor Qianlong be happy about all this?
Even if he was not anxious, Emperor Qianlong was probably feeling quite depressed.
What's more, the most praised Emperor Qianlong by the world today is "Mingjun".
The title Ming Jun is not valuable. A normal emperor will have... before he loses power or dies...
But when an emperor dies, there are very few who can leave the word "Ming Jun" in history.
Therefore, for the sake of his posthumous reputation, Emperor Qianlong urgently needed tangible political achievements.
"…………"
"My lord Heshen, I bow to the emperor. Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"
Emperor Qianlong summoned He Shen in the Qianqing Hall.
After entering the Hall of Qianqing, while prostrating, He Shen secretly looked at Emperor Qianlong with his peripheral vision.
Although Emperor Qianlong is now in his fifties, he is extremely well maintained and looks like he is only in his early thirties.
