In 1720, Liu Yong was born in Shandong province of a prominent family, his grandfather was a minor official in the imperial court, and his father was also a generation of famous ministers during the Qianlong period, Liu Tongxun. Born into a family of generations of officials, Liu Yong received a good education from an early age. In 1751, the 31-year-old Liu Yong relied on his father's relationship to participate in that year's examination for the lifting of the person, successfully passed the entrance examination, and began his career as an official in the imperial court.
The family's career was originally prosperous, but because of his father's mistake in handling military affairs, the emperor was imprisoned, and Liu Yong was implicated and stayed in the prison for nearly a year before being released. For the next twenty years or so, Liu Yong was placed as an official in various provinces by Qianlong. Although he was placed in various places, Liu Yong's talent has always been deeply valued by Qianlong.
In the 34th year of Qianlong, Liu Yong was reused by the emperor again, although he did not recall the imperial court, but in the face of this opportunity given by Qianlong, Liu Yong cherished it very much, and for the sake of justice and honesty, the people always lamented that Liu Yong could be called Bao Zheng's reincarnation. It was not until the forty-seventh year of Qianlong that he was ordered to return to Beijing under the orders of the emperor, and Liu Yong was already a 63-year-old huajia old man, but this did not affect Liu Yong's subsequent political career.
Liu Yong, who had just returned to the capital, happened to encounter a case of fraud by the inspector of Shandong Province, and this time Qianlong sent He Yan, Liu Yong, and a relative of the imperial state to participate in the handling of the case. He had heard of Hezhen's heinous power and corruption of Liu Yong, and he had hoped to take this opportunity to find Hezhen's weakness and sweep him away. However, when handling the case, Liu Yong really discovered the breadth of Hezhen's sphere of influence, which was mixed with many imperial relatives and relatives.
For example, the key figure in this case, Inspector Guotai, is a member of the Hezhen Party, and he also has another identity that is the uncle of the Imperial Concubine, so for this case Qianlong just wants to save Guotai, but liu Yong failed to understand the meaning, although he was reminded of the emperor's careful thinking, he did not think so and investigated the matter thoroughly. Until he revealed to Qianlong the details of Hezhen's shielding of Cathay and the case, Qianlong heard about it.
Liu Yong only then understood the position of He Yan in Qianlong's heart, so he began to get close to He Yan, in order to alleviate the scope of embarrassment between the two sides, as a famous calligrapher at that time, Liu Yong specially wrote adverbs to send to He Yan, and he naturally understood the thoughts in Liu Yong's heart and Yan, and soon became a close friend. And Liu Yong has gradually changed from a politically capable style to a smooth style.
In 53 years, when Liu Yong was supervising the GuoziJian, there was a bribery case between the examinee and the examiner, and according to the past, Liu Yong was determined to do his best to find out the matter, but at this time, as a follower of Hezhen, he chose to turn a blind eye to this matter, although he was later impeached by others, but because it was Qianlong, who was a helian party, he only simply punished it, and he stopped there.
However, Liu Yong's style of conduct did not always maintain a state of slackness, and in the first month of the fourth year of Jiaqing, Qianlong, who was the Emperor Taishang, died. After Qianlong's death, Jiaqing immediately ordered Liu Yong to deal with the case of Hezhen, and this time Liu Yong, who had been reborn by the people, finally returned, and he quickly collected evidence of the crimes of Hezhen and his henchmen and reported it to the imperial court, and Jiaqing also ordered hezhen's execution based on the truth that Liu Yong had investigated. Although he was not as incompatible with Washu as said in the history of the wild, and fought against each other, it was precisely because he knew the times that he could survive in the court and win he was able to take down Hezhen at the last moment.
