Liu Tongxun, Liu Yong did not participate in the county examination, the prefectural examination, and the township examination, and directly participated in the meeting examination and the temple examination of that year as a "Mengyin Lifter", and obtained the birth of a jinshi; because Liu Tongxun, Liu Yong, who had just entered the career, successively served as a Shu Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, an editor of the Sanguan Pavilion, and a waiter, and officially stepped into the official field of the Great Qing Dynasty from the official rank of Wupin.
Liu Yong was just a "representative of scholars" specially cultivated by the Qing court, using his father's prestige to gather and appease the hearts of the world's sons. Therefore, whether it was the Qianlong Emperor or the Jiaqing Emperor, the title of Liu Yong was almost always "the son of Liu Xiang". Even the qing history scholars mostly evaluate it as "the son of Liu Yixiang, who succeeded zheng zheng to the throne, and only then did he have the honor of the holy family." This generation of famous courtiers who had a special influence in the Qianjia Court and occupied an absolute position in the hearts of the people at the time, who was an official to the Renge University, who was posthumously awarded the title of "Prince Taibao" and the title of "Wenqing", almost all of his achievements depended on his father Liu Tongxun.
Liu Tongxun's family is the kind of famous and prestigious family that is "full of Zhu Zigui, all readers", grandfather Liu Bixian, Shunzhi years of jinshi, official to "household member foreign lang", the rank of cong wupin, basically similar to the current deputy director of the State Council ministry. His father, a Kangxi Dynasty jinshi, was an official to the "Sichuan Envoy", and his rank was Cong'erpin, which was basically similar to the governor of present-day Sichuan Province.
Liu Yong was a qianlong sixteen-year jinshi, an official to the rank of "Scholar of Tirenge University", and his rank was Zheng Yipin, which was basically similar to the current Politburo Standing Committee; his grandson was qianlong forty-four years of jinshi, the official to the "official Shangshu", and the rank of pin was congyipin, which was basically similar to the vice premier who is also the head of the organization department today. In the second year of Yongzheng, Liu Tongxun was admitted to the Jinshi, and in accordance with the traditional promotion method of Jinshi, he successively served as a Shujishi of the Hanlin Academy, an editor, a walker in the South Study, and a walk in the Upper Study, and in the Yongzheng Dynasty, he was an official to "Zhan Shi", with the rank of Zheng Sanpin and the administrative rank of deputy minister.
In the sixth year of Qianlong, Liu Tongxun was promoted to "Governor of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Inspection Bureau", and his rank was Congyi Pin (從一品), which was basically similar to that of the current secretary of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission, and his administrative rank was slightly lower than that of the Zhengguo; in the eleventh year of Qianlong, he served as the "Governor of Caoyun", and his rank and rank remained unchanged; in the nineteenth year of Qianlong, he served as the "Viceroy of Shaanxi and Gansu" and also held the title of "Prince Taifu" and became the secretary of the local bureau who concurrently served as vice chairman of the CPPCC.
After becoming the prime minister of the imperial court, Liu Tongxun also served as "the head of the Hanlin Academy", "the chief master of the upper study", "the minister of the examination of the palace", "the president of the National History Museum", and "the president of the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book"" and became the qianlong Emperor's true right hand and right arm and minister.
After Liu Tongxun's death, the Qianlong Emperor posthumously awarded him the title of "Taifu" (太傅) and gave him the courtesy name "Wenzheng". "Taifu", the most honorable official position in feudal society; "Wenzheng", the highest rank of civil servants in feudal society.
In addition, after attending Liu Tongxun's funeral, the Qianlong Emperor returned to the palace and cried at the Qianqing Gate and said to the ministers around him: "If you lose a humerus, if Tongxun is worthy of the true prime minister." The words of the Qianlong Emperor alone are enough to prove Liu Tongxun's transcendent position and great influence on the emperor's heart.
In the forty-fourth year of Qianlong, the Qianlong Emperor made a volume of "Nostalgic Poems of Xingshu", recording twenty-three nostalgic poems, counting "three poems of three gentlemen, five poems of five cabinet ministers, five poems of five meritorious ministers, five poems of five words, five poems of five overseers, and one self-titled". Among them, Liu Tongxun was included in the "Five Cabinet Ministers" by the Qianlong Emperor.
We only need to know who the "Five Cabinet Ministers" are, and we can understand the great glory that Liu Tongxun can rank among them. In addition to Liu Tongxun, the "Five Cabinet Ministers" also had the following:
1. Zhang Tingyu: Yongzheng Emperor's favorite minister, Qianlong Emperor Gu Ming, official to The Bohol Temple, foreman military aircraft minister, the only Hanchen in the Qing Dynasty who "deserves to enjoy the Temple".
2. Ortai: Yongzheng Emperor's favorite minister, Qianlong Emperor Gu Ming, official to The Bohol Temple, military minister in charge, also has the great honor of "worthy of the Taimiao Temple", which is equivalent to or even surpassing Zhang Tingyu's imperial court status.
3. Fu cha Fu Heng: The last scholar of the Qing Dynasty, the most powerful foreign minister of the Qianlong Dynasty, he was twice awarded the title of First Class Duke, and was evaluated by the Qianlong Emperor as "a member of the Qianlong Dynasty, who was in solidarity with the country", and was even posthumously awarded the title of "King of the County".
4. Hitara Laibao: The qianlong emperor's favorite minister, the official to wuyingdian university to supervise the official department, the military minister, the only qianlong dynasty "only as a minister, not a slave" of the imperial court.
Being able to be listed as the "Five Cabinet Ministers" alongside these four immortal-level imperial court officials shows Liu Tongxun's special status and influence.
