"Li Wei Resigns" is a very classic TV series, which tells the story of Li Wei, a powerful minister who was favored during the Yongzheng Emperor, but was not welcomed by frivolity after the new Qianlong succeeded to the throne. Therefore, Li Wei managed to resign his official post and return to his hometown, wanting to leave the official field of deception. However, although the Qianlong Emperor did not like Li Wei, he always had to let him solve difficult problems when he encountered them. When Li Wei completed his mission, he always asked for his resignation, so a series of wonderful stories occurred between him and Qianlong.
In real history, there is indeed a person named Li Wei, who has been through the three generations of Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong, and is a widely acclaimed courtier. As a TV series, for the sake of plot effect, "Li Wei Resigns" has made some adaptations and creations of historical events. There is a very obvious difference between Li Wei in the TV series and Li Wei in the history books. In film and television dramas, Li Wei was eventually allowed to return to his hometown, but this was not the case in history.
So, what is the final outcome of Li Wei in history?
In the twenty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1688), Li Wei was born in Tongshan, Jiangnan, which is in the area of Feng County in present-day Xuzhou, Jiangsu. Because of his solid family and a lot of surplus wealth, in the case that Li Wei did not obtain a meritorious name, he became a foreign minister by "donation" and served in the military department. After two years of service, Li Wei was promoted to Tobe Langzhong. This was a high-ranking official besides Hubu Shangshu and Shilang, and the highest official position he held during the Kangxi Dynasty.
After Kangxi's death, the emperor's fourth son, Yin Chan, succeeded him as the Yongzheng Emperor. The Yongzheng Emperor admired Li Wei very much, and successively made him a Zhili Yi Chuandao and a Yunnan Yanyi Dao. The so-called salt station road is the official who manages the salt service, which is a very important errand in ancient times when salt was very valuable. Compared with the students who are full of poetry books, Li Wei, who has a practical spirit, is conscientious and meticulous in this post. This was very satisfactory to the Yongzheng Emperor, who paid attention to practical learning and practical achievements. ''He moved the envoys, and ordered them to still be in charge of salt affairs.'' Yongzheng ordered him to be rewarded and promoted.
Just a year later, Li Wei was promoted to Inspector of Zhejiang. After two years in the post of Inspector of Zhejiang, he became the Governor of Zhejiang, and the official Ju Zheng Erpin . From his first entry into the official arena to his fame, Li Wei spent ten years. Ten years, for a person who wants to achieve greater fame in the workplace, it is simply impossible, but Li Wei has become a rare corner. No ability can't do it, and no one appreciates the ability. Li Wei is like a high-quality seed, when he encounters the soil of the Yongzheng era, he is bound to blossom and bear fruit. The Wise Lords and Noble Lords have always been chariots and horses that do not leave the bridge.
In the seventh year of Yongzheng (1729), Li Wei was crowned as the Shangshu of the Bingbu, and if the local governor was added to the title of Shangshu, it meant that he was an official from Yipin, and he could manage military and political affairs, manage civil and military officials, and select and evaluate talents in the local area, which can be said to be equivalent to what we often call ''feudal officials''. Shortly after his promotion, Li Wei suffered the loss of his mother, and the Yongzheng Emperor granted him the honorary official position of Crown Prince Shaofu as a sign of comfort.
Three years later, Li Wei returned from filial piety for his mother, and the Yongzheng Emperor immediately appointed him as a ""
Shangshu of the Punishment Department, directly subordinate to the Governor-
After seizing power, Li Wei always maintained a firm and upright attitude, dared to speak out, and never feared the powerful. The Yongzheng Emperor died after thirteen years in power, and was succeeded by the young emperor Qianlong, who was only twenty years old.
In order to open up a new channel for ruling the country, Qianlong, who had just ascended the throne, rectified the team left by his father.
The Qianlong Emperor himself loved culture and respected those who had knowledge, but he did not have a good feeling for people like Li Wei who entered the dynasty by buying officials and did not read many classics. Li Wei's state changed from hot to cool, but he still tried his best, and he could complete the task well and fulfill his duties. In the third year of Qianlong (1738), Li Wei suddenly contracted a vicious disease, and Qianlong specially sent an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him, but he was unable to return to heaven.
In October of that year, Li Wei died and Qianlong buried him according to the viceroy's etiquette system, leaving him behind.
Li Weicai is capable, does things in a down-to-earth manner, declares the strength to seal the territory, has no less attention, has a heavy foundation, and is a proper data reason... I mourn the passing away today
'''evaluation. Li Wei also received the nickname "'Minda'", which means that he is witty and intelligent, and loyal to the officials. It can be said that Li Wei has been treated very highly.
It is said that when the Qianlong Emperor later descended to Jiangnan, he saw that the people on the shores of the West Lake missed Li Wei, who was the governor of Zhejiang at that time, and even erected a statue for him in the Flower Temple, which was very unhappy. ''Li Wei looked up to the Emperor Kao'en,' willful and arrogant, and was initially unjust and pure subjects. The name of the temple is very different. Qianlong changed his face, and Li Wei's character seemed to have a big problem, and he demanded that the statue of Li Wei be removed and burned. Of course, the veracity of this story is highly doubtful.
Li Wei's five sons all embarked on a career path, of which the eldest son, Li Xingyuanguan, became the governor of Liangguang, which can be described as a tiger father without a dog. Some of his fifteen grandsons continued to float and sink in the official arena, but their official positions were not high; some of them threw themselves into the pen and threw themselves into the army, and some of them were generals and lieutenants; and some of them had a bland life, but their lives did not have too much sorrow.
Be a subject, be loyal to his deeds, be a king, be loyal to his people. There is an iron law to the development of history.
