一个封建王朝的兴衰,很大程度上取决于其吏治的好坏,而吏治的好坏,又往往表现在其官吏是否廉洁。乾隆时期,已达到康乾盛世的顶峰,天下承平日久,官吏的腐化日益显露,贪赃款额日趋巨大,涉及范围越来越广。因此,整肃吏治,惩办贪官成为乾隆皇帝整个政治活动中一项十分重要的内容。 乾隆继位之初,即宣布“贪酷二者,不应待三年参劾”。乾隆六年,又谕令重新审理元年以后处理过的侵蚀贪婪各案,下令将重犯陆续发往军台效力,并决定:“嗣后,官员有犯侵贪等案者,亦照此办理。”十年以后,以中下级官吏为重点,处理了一批侵贪案件。二十年以后,又进行了以打击高级贪官污吏为主的惩贪活动,规定侵贪千两以上者仍照旧例斩监候,千两以下者视不同程度各个加重惩罚。据中华书局出版的《乾隆朝惩办贪污档案选编》所载,从乾隆二十年直至乾隆晚期,先后有十余名罪行严重的总督、巡抚,布政使、按察使等大员被处以极刑,如慧贤皇贵妃的亲侄子、叶尔羌办事大臣高朴,闽浙总督陈辉 The rise and fall of a feudal dynasty, to a large extent depends on the quality of its official management, and the quality of the official, but also often show whether its officials are clean.

The amount of greed was tremendously huge and the scope involved was getting wider and wider. Therefore, purging officials and punishing corrupt officials have become a very important part of the entire political activities of Emperor Qianlong. The beginning of the reign of Emperor Qianlong, that is, “both greedy, should not wait for three years Senate”. In the first six years of his reign, Qianlong ordered another review of the cases of erosion and greed that were dealt with after the first year. They ordered that they be repeatedly sent to the military for their effectiveness and decided: "Subsequently, officials who violated the principle of corruption have also handled the case. Ten years later, with a focus on middle and lower level officials, they handled a number of aggression cases. Twenty years later, another campaign of punishing corruption aimed at cracking down on senior corrupt officials was stipulated, and those who invaded the country more than 10,000 were still subject to customary punishment. According to the Selected Proclamation on Corrupting Archives of Corruption Performed by Zhonghua Book Company, from the two decades of Qianlong to the late period of Qianlong, more than a dozen of the most serious crimes committed by the Governor, the Governor, the Chief Ambassador, and the Chancellor were sentenced to death, Such as Hui Yin Royal concubine’s nephew, Yarkand Minister of Commerce Pu Gong, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang Chen Hui
