[Introduction: The reason why Liu Yong is still famous today is precisely because of the formation of some jokes and interesting stories, and in the process of this dissemination, Liu Yong's image has gradually deviated from the real image. In fact, Liu Yong is not a champion, but a jinshi in the sixteenth year of Qianlong, but his results are also very good, the second place in the second division. He is also not a "Luo Pot", he is still very tall and tall. At the same time, this old man Liu Yong, who is deeply loved by the people, is not a commoner, he can be a high-ranking official, and he does have a very strong ability, but it is definitely not an inspirational model. 】
In the ancient officialdom, there is a famous saying: "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger." The emperors of ancient times were all people who wielded great power, and sometimes a single sentence could determine the life and death of ministers. Qianlong, as one of the most accomplished emperors in history, liked to joke with his ministers very much on weekdays, and many times, the ministers could not guess whether his words were true or false, so they would often be ugly. Liu Yong was a famous minister during the Qianlong Dynasty, and throughout his life he was valued by Qianlong for his honest officials and outstanding political achievements. As the son of Liu Tongxun, a university scholar, Liu Yong was talented and received a good education from an early age, and entered the official field in the sixteenth year of Qianlong.
The 32-year-old Liu Yong, who won the Jinshi and became a Shujishi of the Hanlin Academy, was soon promoted to a waiter and became an adviser to the Qianlong Emperor, Liu Yong was also appreciated by the Qianlong Emperor because of his erudition and full of economy, but the too talented Liu Yong was also jealous of the Qianlong Emperor, so such an interesting story was born - Liu Yong jumped into the river. The thing is, the Qianlong Emperor was very fond of composing poetry, and even in order to compose poetry, so that the verses rhymed neatly and created their own words, so the Qianlong Emperor gave birth to more than 40,000 poems in his lifetime, and he himself was about to catch up with the poems made by all the poets of the Tang Dynasty, but the level of poetry of the Qianlong Emperor was very general.
Once, he had a big heart to play with Qianlong and consulted with Qianlong to fool Liu Yong. So Qianlong ordered Liu Yong to jump into the river to commit suicide, hoping to see what Liu Yong would do. After all, there is a saying that "the king calls the subject to die, and the subject has to die"! After Liu Yong received the holy will, he simply thanked the lord long en and then withdrew. Qianlong hurriedly found someone to follow Liu Yong to see what he would do next. Then he and he began to play chess with the two of them, waiting for the result. Besides, after Liu Yong received the holy will, he went straight home. When his wife saw the contents of the holy decree, she began to weep. But Liu Yong was very calm and self-assured, first took a hot bath in pain and pleasure, and then told his wife his coping strategy, and the lady laughed when she heard the tears. Immediately, according to Liu Yong's instructions, he led several subordinates to the courtyard and cried.
Qianlong was horrified, he didn't expect that the joke had gone too far, if he had killed Zhongliang for no reason, then he wouldn't have become a dimwitted king. Just as he was blaming himself, he saw Liu Yong's housekeeper walk in with Liu Yong, who was soaking wet, and Liu Yong asked him to put himself down and help her kneel down to give Qianlong a message. But I didn't expect that after Liu Yong saw the emperor, he actually said such a thing: The subject did go to jump into the river according to the will of the saint, but just jumped into it, the minister met a person, the minister took a closer look, it turned out to be Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan asked his subjects why they had to throw themselves into the river, and whether they had also encountered a faint prince like King Huai of Chu. The subject thought that the subject could not do anything to ruin the reputation of the saint, so he hurried to explain to Qu Yuan, saying that he had accidentally lost his footing and fell into the water, and that the current emperor was a rare Mingjun. After saying this, he bid farewell to Qu Yuan and climbed up from the river. ”
It is said that after this incident, Qianlong bent on canceling Liu Yong's word "Luo Guo" and tried to embarrass him everywhere, but they were all defused by Liu Yong tactfully. Because Qianlong knew very well that Liu Yong was very clever, witty, and honest as an official, upright, and upright, how could he possibly kill him? Just kidding. However, from this folklore, it is not difficult to see that Liu Yong is indeed a very resourceful, unhurried, resourceful and talented person. What do you think?
