He is smooth, talented, thoughtful and ambitious, and knows how to seize the opportunity. A bodyguard with a knife won the favor of Qianlong in a short time, and after several promotions, he became an important official in the DPRK. This is no accident. Behind the huge aura of super corrupt officials, there is also an unparalleled talent in Shenyang.
Xiao Shenyang was in power for some time. He used to be Minister of Military Aircraft, Minister of Official Department and President of Qing Zi Jingge. It is absolutely true that Qianlong will enjoy happiness, but he must not be called a bad king.
On the contrary, Gan Long is also versatile and extremely clever. Gan Long can put him in those positions, which means he is definitely qualified for those positions. The minister of military aircraft shows that Xiao Shenyang has great military management ability, and the minister of official department shows that he is sophisticated and knows how to make good use of people. The president of Qing Zi Jingge shows that his cultural accomplishment is also extremely high. It's hard to get such a person, but he knows everything. Will Gan Long dislike such people?
And he was used by the emperor, and that's not all. He makes good use of the people below, and he is well aware of the interests of the emperor. He can handle what the emperor is inconvenient to say and do, and he is very measured. More importantly, he was loyal, put himself in a correct position, worked hard and won glory for the emperor. He took it to heart and carried out the things arranged by the emperor.
As for his shortcomings, it is greed, but he is greedy for money, not power. This is his way of living, and this is the basis for the emperor to trust him and reuse him. For the emperor, it is a matter of death to keep money where it is. As long as the power is in hand, the greed of small Shenyang is a small problem, so although small Shenyang was demoted several times because of corruption, he quickly rose again.
The way ordinary people think about problems is very different from that of the emperor, and the emphasis is naturally different. If Qianlong can be conscientious, work hard and not be buried by the aura of his ancestors, small Shenyang will become a generation of virtuous ministers who help the world.
