As the old saying goes, "A companion is like a tiger", no matter which dynasty, the emperor is the most fearsome existence. Not only did he have the power to rule life and death, but also because he could decide what he wanted to do, and his courtiers had to obey his orders. How to get along with the emperor is an extremely advanced knowledge, but there are always a few wise ministers in history who can negotiate with him, and Liu Yong is such a person.
He Yan and Liu Yong were sworn enemies, and once, He Yan did not know what means to use, but he was able to make the emperor tease Liu Yong and give him to jump into the river to commit suicide. Liu Yong was in the official field, and deeply understood that if he could not jump into the river, then it was a blatant resistance to the will, which must be a capital offense, no matter what the result was, the ending was in hezhen's intention, then Liu Yong began to think about how to save his life under the premise of obeying the will?
At this moment, I had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea. Since it is impossible to disobey the holy will. It is better to steal the beam and change the column. So he went up to Qianlong and asked him to go home and take a shower and leave clean.
Qianlong did not think about it. He thought that he should not be able to play any tricks, but He yan was terrified. Liu Yong came to the palace after taking a bath, stood by a small river in the palace and prepared to jump down, and He Yan and Qianlong watched from the side. At this time, He Yan showed a satisfied expression, but unexpectedly Liu Yong climbed out of the river again.
Liu Yong's clothes were full of water marks, and he ran into the Qianlong Hall. Qianlong asked, "Ai Qing, did you really jump into the river?" Liu Yong replied, "Your Majesty, the subject really jumped into the river and met a man in the water." Qianlong was full of doubts and asked, "Ai Qing, who have you met?" Liu Yong replied, "Your Majesty, when the subject met Qu Yuan, he asked if it was king Huai of Chu who was reigning?" Qianlong then asked, "Ai Qing, how did you answer?"
Liu Yong replied: "The minister said to Qu Yuan: A late monarch like King Huai of Chu has long since ceased to reign, and now he is reigning emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. As soon as he finished speaking, Qianlong gave Liu Yong a thumbs up, and instead of blaming him, he gave him a lot of rewards because of his loyalty, while Hezhen could only look at him angrily.
