Historically, who was He Shen’s real opponent in the court? Why?

First of all, we have seen Heshen’s rivals Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan in film and television dramas. First of all, Liu Yong and Heshen were officials in the same dynasty, and their relationship was pretty good. They were not incompatible and they often communicated with each other. It is also relatively frequent, so Liu Yong may have had disputes with He Shen, but he is definitely not He Shen's real opponent.

As for Ji Xiaolan, according to true records, he spent most of his life as an official compiling books and compiling the "Sikuquanshu". He was a world-famous scholar and had no conflict of interest with Heshen. There is a big age gap between He Shen and He Shen, so he is not a perfect match for He Shen.

In fact, Heshen Zhengzhen’s opponents included three teachers from Jiaqing, Hanchen Wang Jie and Zhu Gui, and Agui, an important minister during the Qianlong period.

First of all, according to historical records, during the Qianlong period, Wang Jie often argued with He Shen in the court because he was an upright official and dared to speak out. Secondly, in 1774, Wang Jie was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and then transferred to the Ministry of History and promoted to Yushi of Youdu. In 1786, he became the Minister of Military Aircraft. In 1787, he was appointed as the Bachelor of Dongge University and the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Emperor Jiaqing ascended the throne and remained the chief assistant. As an honest civil servant, it is normal for him to dislike Heshen. Secondly, his official position also gave him the ability to regard Heshen as his opponent. He also presided over the trial of Heshen's case.

The second is Zhu Gui, who is not afraid of Heshen, and is capable. His official position can also compete with Heshen, and both of them are Jiaqing's teachers. Jiaqing announced Heshen's crimes as soon as Qianlong died. , and are also inseparable from his two teachers.

The last one is Agui, who is not only Heshen’s official opponent, but also Heshen’s fearful opponent. Although Wang Jie and Zhu Gui were Heshen's opponents, they were Han after all. During the Qing Dynasty, when the Manchus were favored and the Han were emphasized, it was impossible to really attack Heshen, who was Qianlong's favorite. But Agui is different. He was born in the Zhenglan Banner, and he and Heshen's Zhenghong were both under the Five Banners. Heshen came from the Niu Hulu family, and Agui came from the Zhangjia family. They were all eight Manchu surnames.

Agui and Heshen were almost the same in birth. The difference was that Heshen's father died early, but Agui's father was a Jinshi in the Kangxi Dynasty and had gone through the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong. Agui's father could also be regarded as a veteran of the three dynasties. In this way, Agui has an advantage over Heshen.

Secondly, Heshen has many official positions, but Agui has also experienced many wars. He has served successively as Minister of Internal Affairs, Commander-in-Chief of Xianglan Banner of the Han Army, Minister of Military Aircraft, Commander-in-Chief of Zhenghong Banner of Manchuria, General of Ili, Governor of Sichuan, and still the chief minister. The Minister of Military Aircraft disliked He Shen for his military style. The important thing was that as an important minister of Qianlong, his ability was valued by Qianlong, and his official title was equal to that of He Shen.

In the 41st year of Qianlong's reign, Agui was awarded the title of First-class Honesty and Heroic Duke, and was promoted to associate bachelor, official minister, and military minister. In the 41st year of Qianlong's reign, Heshen served as Minister of Military Affairs and Minister of Internal Affairs. In the third year of Jiaqing, he was promoted to duke due to merit. However, because he was favored by Qianlong, for Qianlong, Agui was his most victorious general, so the second When people fight, they only slightly favor Heshen, but they also trust Agui very much. Therefore, Agui, based on his origin, official position, and the emperor's trust, is Heshen's real opponent and the real opponent that Heshen was afraid of in the early days.
