Prince Gong’s Mansion was the largest palace in the Qing Dynasty. Both Heshen and Yonglin lived in Prince Gong’s Mansion. I think the most attractive thing about Prince Gong’s Mansion is its successive owners and allusions, because the well-known bachelor He Shen lives here. The real Heshen in history is completely different from what we see in TV series. Emperor Qianlong loved Heshen very much. Not only did he serve as the Minister of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Minister of Lifanyuan, but he was also appointed as the Minister of Military and Aircraft. At that time, Heshen could be said to be the favorite of thousands of people.

In addition to being favored by Emperor Qianlong, He Shen also came from a very noble background. He was born into a Manchu nobleman and was favored by the emperor, so he had great power at that time and could easily obtain a large amount of wealth. He Shen's family can be said to be extremely wealthy. After Heshen's death, his home was also confiscated by Emperor Jiaqing, and more than 800 million taels of silver were collected. In addition to He Shen in the TV series, everyone is also very interested in the real relationship between He Shen and Emperor Qianlong in history.

The story between them is also very attractive. Many people want to visit it in order to feel the magnificence of Prince Gong’s Mansion. Therefore, Prince Gong’s Mansion is also a very popular attraction in Beijing, and there is an endless stream of people visiting it every day. He Shen had already entered the court as an official when he was 19 years old. The reason why he was favored by Qianlong also had a history. Qianlong met a concubine when he was the prince, but because of her identity and status, the concubine was executed on the spot. Qianlong also felt very sorry for this concubine.

After he saw Heshen, he found that Heshen looked very similar to the concubine, and there was also a red line on Heshen's neck, so he felt that Heshen must be the reincarnation of the concubine. of. So he was very kind to He Shen. It can be said that what He Shen did was basically approved by Qianlong.
