Many people have seen "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", and the image of Liu Yong in it is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, honest and honest, sympathetic to the people, is a talented and wise person, that is, the image is slightly worse, is a big hunchback. So what about the real Liu Yong in history?
Liu Yong's image is definitely not as bad as played on TV, there is no evidence that he is a hunchbacked person, just because Jiaqing called him "Liu Hump", so it was later rumored to be "Liu Luo Pot", and there are rumors that he is very tall, probably because he is too tall, bending down to write all year round, and he must bow his waist when facing the emperor, so it seems a bit hunchbacked, but it will not be a "Luo Pot", the Qing Dynasty has high requirements for ministers, and Qianlong is a "appearance association". How could a courtier be such an image, and how could he show the majesty of the imperial court?
Secondly, his birth is also different from the TV series, the TV series says that he was born into a poor family, ten years of cold window to embark on the career, in fact, it is not, he is Liu Tongxun's son, his father is a very popular courtier, Liu Yong's official position and power in this life are not as high as his father, his father was a scholar of Dongge University, and he was also in charge of the official department, the military department, the ceremonial department and the punishment department, or the chief military minister, which can be described as the real "prime minister" at that time.
In fact, the Qing Dynasty did not have a prime minister, so he was so powerful at that time, it was also called Lord Zhongtang, and the zai minister Liu Luo pot was actually more accurate than the middle hall Liu Luo pot, but the official position of the prime minister gave people a clearer and clearer feeling, and the middle hall gave people a feeling of ambiguity. Moreover, Liu Yong had not actually served in the Military Aircraft Department, and could only be regarded as a middle hall with ranks but no power.
His relationship with Ji Xiaolan is not as sharp as the TV interpretation of Mai Mang, in fact, their relationship is not bad, and then the TV series separates him from Ji Xiaolan, as if there is no relationship between them, in fact, it is not, he and Ji Xiaolan have the best relationship, Ji Xiaolan is favored by his father's knowledge, and the case of the latter two Huai Yanzheng is tried by Liu Yong's father Liu Tongxun, and after being assigned to Xinjiang, it is also recommended by Liu Tongxun to the Hui Dynasty to compile the Four Libraries. Moreover, Ji Xiaolan's literary style is good and Liu Yong's calligraphy is good, Qianlong often makes Ji Xiaolan want couplets or verses, and Liu Yong writes, Liu Yong is also a calligraphy master at that time, and has the elegant title of "Thick Ink Prime Minister".
Liu Yong was thirty-one years old under the influence of his father's relationship and participated in the examination and the palace examination as a person, and won the second place in the second rank, so he said that he was also fabricated, and then entered the Hanlin Academy as a Shu Jishi as an editor, and then became an attendant, and four years later he was demoted to prison because of his father's mistakes in the trial of military affairs, Liu Yong was also implicated, and when Liu Tongxun was pardoned, he also returned to the Hanlin Academy.
Ten years later, Liu Yong was already serving as a Daotai, but because Yangqu County ordered the embezzlement of the treasury silver and was pardoned after one year of exile, he was re-activated as the prefect of Jiangning because of his father.com. And Liu Yong's reputation for being clean and honest also began here. Because of the ups and downs in front of him, Liu Yong now has a new understanding of being an official and a person.
Four years later, Liu Yong's father died, and then appointed Liu Yong as a cabinet scholar, and then Liu Yong was sent to Jiangnan, Hunan, Zhili and other places, returned to the central government at the age of sixty-one, appointed Libu Shangshu at the age of seventy-four, and then participated in the trial of Hezhen's case, during Jiaqing's trip to Rehe, he also ordered Liu Yong to preside over the court, and finally Liu Yong died at the age of eighty-five, giving him the title Wenqing.
We can see from Liu Yong's career process that in many cases he was sheltered by his father, and Liu Yong's life was mostly based on calligraphy achievements, known as one of the four major calligraphers of the Qing Dynasty, but there were not many times when he really held real power, during the Qianlong period, most of the time he was also an official outside, so the daily struggle with He Yan on television was actually not in line with the historical situation.
However, Liu Yong's reputation among the people was very good, and his just style and honest conduct also made the people admire, and some people compared him to the "Bao Zheng" at that time.
