The purpose of this song is to save the habit. However, only the servant Yao Xiang did not tolerate his subordinates, and he was convinced that he could only say this. If others, not lightly imitate also.
Li Shiyao was born in the Han Army with a yellow flag, and his origin was more brilliant than that of ordinary officials, his father was Li Yuanliang, the Shangshu of Hubu, and further up was the fourth grandson of Li Yongfang, the second class. Qianlong entered the dynasty as an official in the early years, and by the outbreak of corruption in the forty-fifth year of Qianlong, Li Shiyao successively served as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, a waiter in the household department, the governor of Liangguang, and the governor of Yungui. However, unlike other corrupt officials, Li Shiyao not only did not kill, but finally received a good death, and died of illness in Qianlong fifty-three years.
In the forty-fifth year of Qianlong, Haining, a grain storage road in Yunnan, reported to Qianlong that he had discovered that Li Shiyao had committed corrupt and perverted the law, and Qianlong sighed helplessly:
As a university scholar and a governor, he was a prisoner of honor and a son of grace, and he could not dream of it.
So he asked He Yan to investigate the case, which was interesting, the big corrupt officials investigated the big corrupt officials, and both of them were appreciated by Qianlong.
He Yan hurried to Guizhou, and Qianlong instructed He Yan to dismiss Li Shuyao from his post and control Li Shuyao's family so as not to cause trouble. On February 25, Li Shiyao's family members in Beijing, Eighty-Five, and Fang Xi'er voluntarily surrendered, and Zhang Yongshou, Lian Guoxiong, Chen Liansheng, and others were arrested by local officials who had long been prepared and escorted to Beijing.
According to the report of Bayan San, the governor of Liangguang, Li Shiyao knew that in the forty-second year of Qianlong and the forty-third year of Qianlong, he sent people to send silver to entrust objects three times, spending a total of 5,464 pieces of silver, and now all the objects have been transported back to the capital. In addition, from Nanhai and Panyu Counties, it was found that li Shuyao's brother Ling Lie, the brother of tongzhi Linghao in bazhai, Guizhou, also found out from Nanhai and Panyu Counties, who confessed that it cost 4,417 taels of silver to help procure objects in Qianlong forty-four years.
Later, from the confessions of Sun Yungong and Gu Tingxuan in Yunnan Province, it can be seen that Qianlong procured materials for Li Shuyao three times in April, July, and September of the 44th year, and spent 23,357 taels of silver, and Li Shuyao often asked people who entered Beijing to help him bring silver home. In November of the forty-fourth year of Qianlong alone, Liu Fengyi helped him bring twelve thousand two hundred taels of silver and handed it over to Li Shiyao's family of Eighty-Five and Lian Guoxiong, which shows that the silver that Li Shunyao brought home before must have been a huge sum of money.
Li Shiyao confessed that during his tenure as the governor of Yunnan, he used his power to extort money from the silver factory, and Su Erfang'a, a member of the silver factory at the time, did not dare to resist and gave Li Shiyao eight thousand taels of silver; in addition, he also squeezed the officials under his hands and was very picky about the officials who handled the affairs, but he was very uncooperative in any case, and in desperation, in order to make Li Shuyao happy, he had to send five thousand taels of silver to Li Shiyao to make him raise his noble hand. In addition, there were also prefects and Taoists from all over the country who did not escape Li Shuyao's extortion. In addition, he is also arbitrary and solipsistic, interrogating him alone when handling the case, and arbitrarily changing the amount involved when it comes to money, and taking the difference from it.
On March 18, 1945, Qianlong dismissed Li Shuyao from his post and escorted him to Beijing, and confiscated all of Li Shiyao's family property, passing over the title that Li Shuyao inherited to Li Shuyao's younger brother, who initially planned to be beheaded. At this time, Qianlong was still angry, and he felt that such a punishment was too simple, so he asked the Punishment Department to re-determine it, so he changed it to a decisive decision. However, at this time, Qianlong did not want to kill Li Shuyao, and it should be known that although Li Shuyao was very lacking in the moral character of being an official, he had to say that the means were very good, and it was a pity to kill Qianlong in this way. So he deliberately ordered the governors of the provinces to discuss it, and sure enough, which of those officials was not an old fritter, Qianlong said that he did not want to kill, they all went up one after another to say that the decision was too serious, Li Shiyao was still a good official, and he only made a mistake for a while, and the emperor should forgive him. When Qianlong had a ladder, he hurried down and said that he would change it to beheading the prisoner, and as for those who were in cahoots with him, they should deal with it as much as they wanted.
Just the following year, when the Su Forty-Third Rebellion occurred in Gansu, Li Shiyao was called by Qianlong to the front line to make meritorious deeds, and soon after he made him the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. But qianlong is allowing corrupt officials, no, we mentioned earlier that the Gansu case of impersonation occurred at this time, this case from the mastermind to the accomplice to the killing of inaction, exile, demotion and demotion, anyway, have been punished, they are worse than Li Shuyao's estimation is not Qianlong's eccentricity.
However, although Li Shiyao escaped a disaster does not mean that his luck was exhausted, and in the later forty-nine years of Qianlong, gansu revolt broke out again, Li Shiyao was reported by Fu Kang'an in the process of suppression for "playing with cowardice", which was a crime of killing the head in the army, but Qianlong once again spared him, and the following year history repeated itself, Li Shiyao once again climbed to the position of governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and then followed Fukang Anping Taiwan Lin Shuangwen uprising, and was also painted by Qianlong as a statue of a hero of Ziguang Pavilion.
Fifty-three years after Qianlong, Li Shiyao died of illness while in office, and his nickname was Gongyi.
