劾湖北按察使李天培私交糧艘帶運木植，鞫得兩廣總督福康安寄書索購狀，帝嘉和琳伉直，下部議敘，由是遂見擢用。 He impeached Hubei Surveillance Commissioner Li Tianpei for privately associating with grain transport boats to carry timber. Investigation revealed that Governor-General Fu Kang'an of Guangdong and Guangxi had sent letters requesting purchase. The emperor commended He Lin's upright integrity, referred the matter to the ministry for merit evaluation, and from this he came to be promoted and employed.
四年，和珅誅，廷臣論和琳藉勢邀功，上亦追咎其會剿苗匪，牽掣福康安，師無功，命撤出太廟，毀專祠，奪其子丰紳伊綿公爵，改襲三等輕車都尉。 In the fourth year, after He Shen was executed, court ministers judged that He Lin had relied on influence to claim merit. The emperor also blamed him for joining the Miao suppression and hampering Fu Kang'an so the army achieved nothing. He was ordered removed from the Imperial Ancestral Temple, his private shrine destroyed, and his son Fengshen Yimian stripped of the ducal title and made to inherit the third-rank Light Chariot Commandant instead.

自徵苗匪、教匪以來，福康安、和琳、孫士毅則蒙蔽欺妄於前，宜綿、惠齡、福寧則喪師失律於後，又益以景安、秦承恩之因循畏葸，而川、陝、楚、豫之民，遭劫者不知幾百萬矣。 Since the campaigns against the Miao and the sect rebels, Fu Kang'an, He Lin, and Sun Shiyi deceived and concealed at the outset; Yi Mian, Hui Ling, and Fu Ning lost armies and violated discipline later on; to these were added Jing'an and Qin Cheng'en's procrastination and timidity—and the people of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hubei, and Henan who suffered devastation must number several millions.
