Little Shenyang's skill in playing politics far exceeds Guo Kai's, because Guo Kai is facing a bad king with mediocre intelligence, while little Shenyang is facing a famous king. The smarter people are, the more their eyes are like electricity, and flattery is not good. Not only can he not please his master, but his head may fall to the ground. There are also many flatterers in history.
Let's take a look at the unique flattery skills of Lord Xiao Shenyang. Gan Long calls himself a "perfect old man" and is especially good at poetry. He wrote more than 10 thousand poems in his life, which shows his elegance. People who write poems naturally love people who can write poems. Little Shenyang has a literary background. Seeing that he likes poetry, he immediately went home to study Tang poetry and Song poetry, working harder than the college entrance examination students. Xiao Shenyang soon became a poet, and occasionally he was witty. Emperor Qianlong liked this diligent and elegant young man very much, and they often talked about poetry together.
"Old man Shiquan" also likes calligraphy. People who write calligraphy like to be imitated by others, which shows that his calligraphy is awesome. And a look at the opportunity came again. This time, he went home to learn the calligraphy of Emperor Qianlong and Shi Duomo. Soon, Xiao Shenyang imitated Ganlong's calligraphy, which had the charm of Ganlong's calligraphy. Seeing that someone worships his calligraphy art so much, Gan Long's sense of accomplishment immediately increased.
It is better to attack the city than to attack it. Qianlong believed in Buddhism, and he claimed to be a faithful believer in Buddhism. Lord Xiao Shenyang, whether he believes in Buddhism or not, should at least give face to Emperor Zuganlong. After studying poetry and calligraphy, Xiao Shenyang once again became a Buddhist expert. After studying hard in Xiao Shenyang, he has also made great achievements in Buddhism. He can recite all the teachings of Buddhism fluently. Therefore, Xiao Shenyang and Emperor Qianlong are not only poetry friends, book friends, but also church members.
No one does not like to hear good words, especially the ambitious emperor Qianlong. Emperor Qianlong was a wise master in his early days, but with the accumulation of political achievements, Qianlong has been on cloud nine. In the past, he could listen to some unpleasant but useful words, but now he can only tolerate what he hears. Little Shenyang's flattery is world-class. He can praise the wise Emperor Qianlong of SHEN WOO with different methods and metaphors from different angles. It is not an exaggeration to describe small Shenyang with a master of language. Few ears in the world can resist such sweet words, what's more, Qianlong is used to hearing the charming voice of small Shenyang, and his ears are already soft, so he won't be comfortable if he doesn't hear it for a day.
Small Shenyang is not a eunuch, but one of the highest officials in the Qing Dynasty, but he can condescend and volunteer to be a personal eunuch of Qianlong for free. Xiao Shenyang has served Gan Long more thoughtfully than his own Lao Zi, and his professionalism is admirable. For example, whenever the emperor wants to cough and spit, he immediately picks up the spittoon.
Love me, love my dog is actually a strategy. For example, a beautiful woman brought a puppy. You used to say that this puppy is very beautiful and stylish, and beautiful women will definitely laugh, thus increasing their goodwill towards you. And know this.
In the Qing dynasty, filial piety ruled the world, and every monarch flaunted his filial piety, and Qianlong was also famous for it. After the death of the Empress Dowager, Gan Long has to be filial to the Empress Dowager and can't afford to kneel for three days. Many people advised Emperor Qianlong not to be sad, to be cautious, to put the country first and the overall situation first. Only Xiao Shenyang has never advised Gan Long to say a word. Emperor Qianlong knelt there. He knelt there. Emperor Qianlong didn't get up and he didn't go. He accompanied Emperor Qianlong from beginning to end. Three days later, Emperor Qianlong lost weight, and so did Little Shenyang. Qianlong was moved, good brother!
In his later years, Qianlong became more and more confused and extravagant. However, Emperor Qianlong was a man who wanted to enjoy himself and save face. He doesn't want people to accuse him of extravagance behind his back. Emperor Qianlong wants to show the world an image of a wise monarch who is rigorous, diligent and loves the people like a son. Where did the money come from became a problem, and Shenyang, who is good at managing money, stepped forward.
As soon as Xiao Shenyang came to power, he showed superhuman boldness. As soon as Xiao Shenyang and Emperor Qianlong came together, they decided to make a "donation system" with great fanfare. Donating an official is buying an official with money. This can not only get a lot of money, but also show kindness to those who want to be officials and show the tolerance of the Qing Dynasty.
Small Shenyang also established a "negotiable bank" system, meaning that officials made a big mistake and wanted to ask for punishment or exile, as long as they gave the emperor a lot of gold and silver. You can't walk on the river bank for a long time without wet shoes. Officials who have been mixed up in officialdom for many years have never made a big mistake. They used to be afraid of losing their heads, titles and hats. They were not afraid of anything since they started their business in Little Shenyang.
Small Shenyang made great efforts to "discuss the crime of silver" and implemented the "official donation system", so that those who were guilty were not guilty, those who should have lost their official positions were saved, those who should have been beheaded were left behind, and the rich could live an official addiction. Both Qianlong and Xiaoshenyang made a lot of money from it.
Qianlong is a carefree emperor. He wants to travel all over the world and capture all the beauty in the world, especially the dreamy beauty and gorgeous beauty in Jiangnan, which makes him dream. Emperor Qianlong always wanted to go out to play, but the psychology of saving face was at work again. He doesn't want to be branded as a hedonistic and profligate person by future generations. Small Shenyang is like a worm in Gan Long's stomach. He will immediately feel Gan Long's thoughts. Xiao Shenyang's primal brain began to turn quickly again, and finally he came up with a way. He assured Qianlong that if the emperor made a southern tour, all expenses would be paid, and the officials and wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River would be willing to donate without using the state treasury. In this way, those who talk about pleasure have nothing to say. Gan Long listened to the exultation, and immediately ordered Xiao Shenyang to arrange the southern tour, and the platform set off immediately.
Small Shenyang issued a notice to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, saying that the emperor should make careful preparations to visit all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and encouraged businessmen to donate money and materials for the emperor's southern tour. Xiao Shenyang is very clever. He didn't express it clearly and didn't mean to force it. But the following people don't know the meaning of Little Shenyang, so they quickly take this opportunity to please Qianlong, dredge canals, build palaces, repair dragon boats and offer food.
Emperor Qianlong visited Jiangnan six times, and all the trips were arranged in an orderly way by Xiao Shenyang. All the trips are luxurious, luxurious and the scenery is beautiful. Emperor Qianlong not only didn't use the state treasury, but also returned with a full load every time.
