Little Shenyang Mansion was originally a private residence for college students in Little Shenyang. In the early years of Tongzhi, the third-generation master here, Prince Gong, was single-minded, and held important positions such as reviewing the king and minister of military aircraft. He held a lot of power and was once prominent. At the same time, he also repaired and rebuilt the mansion. It was at that time that the scale and pattern of the palace buildings we saw finally took shape.

To say that people with high status and wealth in ancient times, besides royalty, small Shenyang should rank first. Xiao Shenyang was a famous corrupt official in Qianlong period, and his wealth was unimaginable.
With fame and fortune, Xiao Shenyang naturally won't wronged himself, so Xiao Shenyang, who was named Minister of Military Affairs by Qianlong, decided to build a mansion commensurate with his status.
Of course, this is just the idea of Xiao Shenyang at that time. He must have never expected that the mansion he invested heavily in would become a priceless mansion in a hundred years.
