Not only was he ordered to be above Qin Huai, but he also followed me to the east of Hangou and climbed tirelessly, so that Shao Bonandai was always good and commendable. ——Liu Yong
People are always full of curiosity about the unknown.
Many people are very interested in how to get along with ancient monarchs and courtiers, and they are very willing to dig into history to explore the world they have not been exposed to.
For example, the Qianlong Emperor's story with his ministers has been remade into film and television works and appeared in people's field of vision.
Whether it is Ji Xiaolan, the iron tooth and copper tooth, or Liu Luoguo, the prime minister, these works bring people back to the real world of ancient times through a certain degree of restoration of history.
Of course, many things in history cannot be presented by TV dramas, and in the case of Liu Yong (Liu Luoguo), an extremely interesting thing happened to him.
At a banquet, Qianlong was provoked by He Yan and actually let Liu Yong jump into the river to commit suicide, and the emperor ordered that Liu Yong did not dare not obey, but if he really went, it would not be in vain.
So Liu Yong used his ingenuity to come up with a very perfect method...
Who is Liu Yong? Why did the emperor let him jump into the river, and what did he come up with to solve it?
If you want to answer these questions, you must also start from Liu Yong's life experience.
01 Liu Yongqi
Liu Yong was a famous minister of the Qing Dynasty, born in a family of officials and eunuchs, and his father was a powerful military minister.
Living in such a family with a prominent background, Liu Yong naturally received a strict education from an early age, and every word and deed needed to follow the rules.
His future was already very predestined, that is, to embark on a career path like his father.
In the fourteenth year of Qianlong, Liu Yong successfully passed the jinshi and officially embarked on the road of career.
Under the protection of his father, he rose all the way up and soon became a minister with a head and a face in the court.
The good times did not last long, liu yong's father made a big mistake in handling military affairs on a certain occasion, which caused the emperor to be angry and directly dismissed him from his post and sent him to prison.
As his son, Liu Yong did not escape punishment.
Not only was he demoted several ranks, but he was also assigned to a remote location as a petty officer.
For a person who has had a smooth career and has never encountered setbacks, this is undoubtedly a huge blow.
At that time, many people were watching Liu Yong's jokes, hoping that he would never be able to return to the capital from then on.
However, Liu Yong's behavior surprised everyone, and although he was demoted, he did not affect his attitude as an official.
In the process of being a local official, he always cared about the people and did a lot of practical things for the people.
Because of his outstanding political achievements and deep popularity, Qianlong soon saw his talent and promoted him.
02 Ordered Liu Yong to jump into the river
After returning to the capital, Liu Yong was much more restrained than before, he knew the truth that his companions were like companions of tigers, and he was very cautious in every word and deed, afraid that he would be punished again if he accidentally.
However, even if he was so careful, he was still persecuted by the famous traitorous minister of the time, Hezhen.
He Yan and Liu Yong are two completely different people.
Compared with Liu Yong's smooth life, He Yan's life is much more bumpy.
His parents died early, and he and his brother were dependent on each other, so after becoming a minister, he had a great desire and pursuit of wealth, and did whatever it took to accumulate wealth.
Liu Yong was born into a wealthy family and attached great importance to wealth, so he was very honest when he became an official and would not charge a penny more.
Such a clean and good official naturally did not like he was greedy, so Liu Yong did not hesitate to join Himzhen in front of Qianlong.
Unfortunately, no matter what he said, He yan was still the emperor's favorite, and his status was not shaken in the slightest.
Liu Yongshan and Yan did not succeed, but were hated by Hezhen.
After seizing the opportunity, He Yan immediately thought of a way to eliminate Liu Yong's "eye nail".
In his later years, Qianlong loved to drink and have fun, and often threw a feast, and Hezhen was very good at throwing in his favor, so he was deeply liked by Qianlong.
At a banquet, He Yan killed Liu Yong, and then told Qianlong, who was bored, that he could make a joke about Liu Yong and order him to jump into the river to commit suicide.
Unexpectedly, after Qianlong heard it, he didn't even think about it, and directly agreed to it and did it.
So Liu Yong received a will, which said that the saint should let him jump into the river.
Just as the so-called jun wants the subject to die, the subject has to die, at first Liu Yong was frightened, thinking that it is difficult for him to really die?
03 Went home and took a shower
He quickly calmed down, thought about it again, and realized that this was not necessarily Qianlong's true meaning, but that someone must have blown some wind.
Realizing this, Liu Yong was suddenly relieved.
As long as the emperor didn't really want his life, then there was still room for things to turn around.
So he returned home with the holy will, comforted his panicked wife, and told her not to worry, just prepare a basin of bath water for himself.
Although the wife was confused, she did not dare not do what he said.
The hot water was quickly boiled, and after that, Liu Yong did not take off his clothes, directly jumped in, and fluttered in it at will.
After making sure that he was soaking wet, Liu Yong took this water into the palace to see Qianlong.
Qianlong had just heard the news that he had really jumped into the river, and he was in a hurry, and at this time, he was relieved to see him standing here intact.
Liu Yong explained to Qianlong that when he was jumping into the river, he encountered the soul of his predecessor Qu Yuan, and Qu Yuan was very confused when he saw him, telling him: "Your monarch is obviously a Ming jun, you should not come to jump the river, you should be well assisted."
When Liu Yong heard this, he deeply felt that what Qu Yuan's predecessor said was right, so he tried his best to climb out of the river.
This remark seems to be explaining why he is not real, but his truth is undoubtedly patting Qianlong's ass, and Qianlong is a Ming jun, and he will not really let his courtiers jump into the river.
Sure enough, after Qianlong heard it, even though he knew that this was just a statement made up by Liu Yong, he was still very happy, and instead of blaming Liu Yong for disobedience, he also praised him.
As a result, a fatal disaster was skillfully defused by Liu Yong, and Liu Yong's life was also saved.
