When Qianlong was 60 years old, the ministers went to great lengths to hold a face-saving birthday party for him, but Liu Yong had a clean wind in his sleeves and could not afford to buy expensive gifts, so he had a clever move, and went to the vegetable market to carry a bucket of ginger to Qianlong, and the ministers laughed at him for "cutting the door and getting home", who knew that Qianlong saw this gift but smiled happily...
Speaking of Liu Yong, the most impressive thing is the title of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", this little old man with "Luo Pot" on his back but very shrewd and wise has brought the audience a lot of different joys. At the same time, the little old man's greatest pleasure is to "add to the blockage" of the greedy hezhen.
Qianlong was a face-loving emperor, and occasionally liked to boast about himself, and in front of him, He yan was the most able to observe the color, and he offered flattery and flattery to the needle, and coaxed the emperor to be happy, and from time to time he could be rewarded, and with the emperor's favor, He Yan was also a great amass of wealth, and his property was said to be rich enough to rival the country.
This time Qianlong's 60th birthday, in order to be favored, He Yan even collected many rare treasures, and he did not expect to lose to a bucket of ginger to Liu Yong!
Liu Yong was a clean and honest official, with a clean wind in his sleeves, and had no money to prepare rare treasures, but he could not go to Qianlong's birthday with empty hands, so he also racked his brains. One day, Liu Yong paced in the courtyard, worried about the gift, suddenly a servant carrying a bucket walked by his side, which contained a few pieces of fresh ginger, Liu Yong had a flash of inspiration in his mind, isn't this the best gift?
Therefore, Liu Yong called the servant, "You go to the market quickly to buy a bucket of ginger, buy more, and pile it high." Puzzled, the servant asked, "Lord, when will you have to eat so much ginger?" ”
Liu Yong said, "You just have to buy it, I'll be useful." The next day Liu Yong took the servant into the palace to give a feast, and he instructed the servant: "You carry the ginger outside and wait, watch my eyes and act, and when I am ready to give the gift, you will give me this ginger." ”
This birthday banquet, the pomp is very large, everyone has eaten enough wine and food have begun to give gifts, everyone sent gifts, Qianlong smiled one by one, especially the emerald watermelon prepared by Hezhen is even more satisfied with Qianlong, has not stopped nodding.
Everyone had almost delivered it, Liu Yong was still eating slowly and methodically, and someone asked anxiously: "I don't know what gift Lord Liu has prepared this time?" ”
Liu Yong smiled mysteriously: "You will know later!" ”
Listening to Liu Yong say this, the crowd was more curious, at this time Liu Yong signaled to the servant, the servant quickly carried the ginger over, Liu Yong took the ginger and went forward to wish Liu Yong a happy birthday, and the cheerful scene suddenly became a needle. Afterwards, the courtiers were whispering, laughing at Liu Yong's "door cutting", and He Yan was secretly happy: "Cut the door to this point, Liu Luo pot you are dead!" ”
Qianlong was also shocked by Liu Yong's gift, and Liu Yong immediately said: "Emperor, my birthday gift is unique, ginger can not only be used as a condiment, but also into medicine, with divergence, cold, cough, anti-vomiting effect." ”
As he spoke, Liu Yong also turned to Hezhen and said, "Do you want to eat a piece of unraveled wine with the adults?" He Yan hurriedly resigned, and then said with a sly smile: "This is what Lord Liu dedicated to the emperor, how dare the subject eat it?" You better give it to the emperor to eat! ”
Qianlong's face was not very good when he heard this, but he did not expect Liu Yong to continue as if he had not seen it: "Emperor, you see that these gingers are not enough to eat, if not enough, there are still many in the courtier's family!" ”
Qianlong sighed, "This ginger is like a mountain, how can you eat it all!" ”
That's what you're waiting for! Liu Yong patted his thigh and shouted loudly: "Emperor Jinkou Yuyan, The Great Qing Dynasty Jiang (Jiang) Mountain Unification (Barrel)!" ”
Everyone suddenly realized that this great gift could be sent to Qianlong's heart, it turned out that this was Liu Yong's pat on the back of the horse's ass, Qianlong laughed, "the unification of the jiangshan" This gift can be much heavier than any gift, Qianlong praised Liu Yong for his extraordinary wisdom, and then rewarded it heavily, and he Yan on the side was a bitter melon face.
Liu Yong is a person of great wisdom, not only has ideas on gift-giving, but his way of being an official and protecting himself is also admirable, he knows that Qianlong favors Hezhen and does not face he to confront Hezhen, he is clean and righteous for the officials, he is justice for the people, and he is compared by the people to the Bao Zheng of the Song Dynasty.
However, in his later years, Qianlong became more and more dependent on He yan, and he yan's corrupt behavior became more and more arrogant, and in order to protect himself, Liu Yong chose to sit still in silence, pretending to be an old and confused person, and occasionally leaving some small flaws in government affairs, so that He Yan and others could relax their vigilance against him.
Unexpectedly, after the new emperor took power, liu yong, even though he was already eighty years old, suddenly became deaf and blind, and began to preside over the trial of Hezhen and return the government to the new emperor.
Liu Yong finally got a good ending by relying on his wisdom, he knew how to judge the hour and size up the situation, go with the flow, and at the right time can achieve a sharp effect. There are many wise and talented people like Liu Yong in history, and there are many wisdom stories like this in the "Complete Collection of Wisdom Tanks".
