| | Heshen Summary |
 | | The Jiaqing Emperor spared Heshen this horrible death, and instead ordered him to commit suicide in his home on February 22, sparing his family, largely thanks to the pleading of Renzong's sister, Heshen's daughter-in-law who was married to Fengshen-Yingde, Heshen's sole surviving son, while Fu Chang'an was beheaded. |
 | | His total property was ultimately estimated at around 1,100 million taels of silver, reputedly estimated to be an amount equivalent to the imperial revenue of the Qing government for 15 years. |
 | | The many official positions held be Heshen could have posed a threat to the authority of the Jiaqing Emperor, and produced a sense of jealousy to his power and influence over the royal court, as well as the more legitimate threat to the Emperor. |
