Locking the Country Behind Closed Doors, From Prosperity to Decline
A dazzling array of gold and silver mountains, wealth and honor.
Words appeared in everyone's minds.
When they saw these things.
Everyone finally realized the meaning of the words 'be close to villains and stay away from virtuous courts'.
Even Qianlong himself was shocked when he saw this scene.
He knew He Shen was a corrupt official, and he knew better than anyone else that He Shen was a corrupt official.
However, when he saw it for himself, he could not help but be shocked.
Especially when…
After the mountains of gold and silver appeared.
A narration immediately appeared.
It was reported that He Shen, who was in the Military and Political Affairs Office at that time, embezzled a total of 1.1 billion taels of silver during his reign, which was the sum of the government's financial revenue for fifteen years.
Following the appearance of the number.
All the emperors were shocked.
At this moment, the ten million taels of silver spent on six southern expeditions paled in comparison to this figure.
There were even emperors who thought that the money spent on these six southern expeditions was not even considered money.
What a joke, a single official embezzled 1.1 billion taels of silver.
Six trips to the south would only be worth ten million taels.
"Grandson, you've raised a great parasite for the Qing Dynasty."”
"1.1 billion taels?" This was…This was…I've only accumulated 50 million taels for the national treasury in 13 years. This... What kind of 'talent' is this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang: " Corrupted officials, corrupt officials!!! If this person was from our dynasty, he wouldn't have been skinned alive. It would be light to kill his entire family. Our Ming Dynasty officials can be beheaded for corruption. You... Ridiculous, ridiculous!"
Ancestral Dragon,"How much is 1.1 billion taels?" I can't tell."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "With so much money, I will have to expand my territory by at least 30%.”
Song Renzong: " 1.1 billion taels, how much money is this?”
Zhu Youjian: " 1.1 billion taels???" If I had 10% of this wealth, how could Ming perish?”
......
The three views of the emperors were shattered.
One official embezzled a total of 1.1 billion taels.
This was simply the biggest joke in the world.
And then there's Qianlong.
Although he was angry, he did not show it on the surface.
He did not punish He Shen directly, nor did he absolve him of his responsibility.
After a long while, he slowly said,""Heresy!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
He Shen, who was already scared to death, instantly knelt in front of Qianlong.
Then, he hurriedly shouted," Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise. This thing is just a heresy to confuse the public. It's not true at all. How can there be so many gold and silver artifacts in my house?”
Actually, what He Shen didn't know was…
Qianlong believed more than anyone else that Heshen was really greedy.
But he allowed the other party to be greedy.
There were two reasons.
First, He Shen was a corrupt official, not a traitor.
Under such circumstances, although the other party was greedy, he would always think of him and take him as the master in everything. Who wouldn't love such a slave?
Secondly, he was leaving a big gift bag for the future ruler.
Although you and Shen are greedy, money is still in the Qing Dynasty, not in other countries.
Therefore, after a hundred years, when the next ruler ascends the throne, won't you and Shen still be working for our imperial family?
At that time, as long as the future ruler was in power, he would immediately be able to obtain so much money.
He killed a corrupt official like you. He won the hearts of the people and money. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.
Therefore, Qianlong would not kill Heshen.
For this reason, he slowly said the words 'heresy to confuse the public.'
After he finished speaking.
The video was updated again.
Qianlong was arrogant, self-proclaimed, closed the country, causing the Qing Dynasty to decline from prosperity to decline.
During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, the world had entered an era of industrial development.
As a country with a large population, the Qing Dynasty did not do anything in the face of the world's change. Instead, they cut off all information, economy, trade, and cultural exchanges.
It prevented the people from getting access to information that could change the world's structure, leading the entire country into an ignorant and heartless environment.
Therefore, in less than a hundred years of development, the West had completed industrial progress and was reborn.
On the other hand, the people of China were ignorant and lost a hundred years of progress.
.....
As the saying goes, learning makes people improve.
A person needed to keep learning in order to keep improving.
If one did not learn and improve, then one would be an ignorant person.
If a person was a little ignorant, they would at most be looked down upon by others.
However, if a country was ignorant, it was no longer just being looked down upon.
Instead, he was trampled and humiliated by others!!!
Obviously, Qianlong's act of closing the country could be said to have ruined the future of a great country.
It was also because of this.
In the future, China would be bullied!!!
.......
As for everyone's reaction.
With three videos as evidence.
The words 'eternal fatuous ruler' had already hit Qianlong's head.
There was irrefutable evidence. No matter how much he struggled, he could not struggle.
He had confirmed his title as a fatuous ruler.
This episode's video had reached the last count.
When the final inventory was about to appear.
All the emperors couldn't help but look forward to it.
Because the person who counted the final tally was not the emperor but the empress dowager.
It was rare for a Demon Empress to bring disaster to a country in history.
They had heard of beauties bringing disaster to the country, but they had never heard of the Empress Dowager bringing disaster to the country.
Just like that.
All the emperors sat in a row, eating the fruits of the tribute, enjoying the fanning of the palace maids, and watched seriously.
The video in the scroll did not make them wait too long.
About a minute later.
The last video of the inventory slowly surfaced.
The scourge of the Qing Dynasty, the most devastating demon queen in history, Empress Dowager Cixi of the Yehe Nala family
[No.: Empress Dowager Xiao Qin, Empress Dowager Duan You, Kang Yi, Empress Dowager Zhao, Empress Dowager Zhuang Cheng, Empress Dowager Gong Qin, Empress Dowager Chong Xi, Empress Tianxing, Empress Sheng Xian]
