A contest between Liu Yong and Hezhen

author:Origin Classroom

Liu Luo pot. Not really.

People with disabilities in the Qing Dynasty system could not become officials.

In fact, Liu Luoguo had his famous name, Liu Yong, who held the positions of Zhongtang, Wenhuadian University Scholar, Bureaucrat Tianguan, and Zuo Du Yushi.

A contest between Liu Yong and Hezhen

  Liu Yong was very bitter about he arsenic's behavior of cheating and having no fear, but helplessly, he was accustomed to flattery and flattery, and tried his best to fall for the favor of the Qianlong Emperor, which made Liu Yong often misunderstood by Qianlong and accused by the emperor for no reason.

  Liu Yong had to use the method of knocking on the side and hitting the right side to deal with He yan. On the issue of dealing with and arsenic corruption, on one occasion it really embarrassed the Qianlong Emperor and HeRenshen. This is the story of the legendary Liu Yong who countered wearing the imperial clothes and supervised the repair of the royal road.

  In the late Qianlong period, the road from the capital to Yuquan Mountain, the "Royal Road", had become potholed due to its disrepair. Originally, the emperor included the entire imperial palace to drink water all year round by the spring water of Yuquan Mountain. As early as the Ming Dynasty, more than 30 miles of road from Xizhimen to Yuquan Mountain had been paved with large bluestone strips, which were specially used for the palace to draw water. After a long time, by the late Qianlong period, this section of the road had been damaged, so that after the water wheel was filled from Yuquan Mountain to the imperial palace, only half a car of water was left.

  One day, Qianlong suddenly had a whim to visit Yuquan Mountain, and the broken bluestone pavement of dozens of miles back and forth not only exhausted the caravans, but also caused Qianlong to suffer from bumps.

  Returning from this visit to Yuquan Mountain, the Qianlong Emperor did not ascend to the throne for two days. The ministers wondered what catastrophe was coming.

  He was still good at figuring out Qianlong's thoughts. He thought it must be the emperor who suffered a lot from his visit. It seems that the thirty-mile royal road from the capital to Yuquan Mountain must be repaired.

  Supervising the royal road, this is a good opportunity to make a lot of money. And arsenic tried every means to win this matter.

A contest between Liu Yong and Hezhen

  Two days later, the Qianlong Emperor ascended to the throne.

  As soon as Qianlong sat down, He Arsenic knelt down in front of the stage to ask for advice:

  "Emperor, the royal road from Xizhimen to Yuquan Mountain, fell into disrepair, water wheels to and fro, time-consuming and little work. The palace was in danger of running out of water. The subject had been sleepless all night for this matter, and he had come to ask for the emperor's permission. ”

  When Qianlong heard this, he was half angry and half happy. I remembered visiting Yuquan Mountain two days ago. On that bluestone road, there was a lot of hardship, and the qi did not come to a single place; at the moment, He yan took the initiative to ask for advice, and he was willing to supervise the construction of this road, which was exactly in line with the will of Yuan. Alas, or arsenic can be what I think.

  Without waiting for the Qianlong Emperor to speak, he heard Liu Yong over there say:

  "Emperor. It was the duty of the Ministry of Works to supervise the repair of the Royal Road, and the minister asked the Emperor to order the Ministry of Works to supervise and repair it as soon as possible. ”

  It turned out that Liu Yong had already heard that the Royal Road outside Xizhimen had fallen into disrepair and was difficult to use anymore. Today, as soon as he went to the court, he and arsenic suddenly asked for advice to supervise the repair, and they must be in a hurry to serve the money and take the opportunity to enrich themselves. I tried to stop him. Liu Yong's voice did not fall, and He Arsenic quickly answered:

  "Long live Ming Jian, the construction of the royal road to the relationship between the water in the palace, is actually a major matter of the defense of the capital, and the subject is an internal assistant, and his responsibility is difficult to get rid of, and his obligation is unshirkable."

  When the Qianlong Emperor heard that Liu Yong was again on the same page. This Liu Yong, the Ministry of Works is only in charge of civil engineering construction, and he is supervising the construction of this road, which is exactly in line with the intention.

  Immediately after the decree was issued, he specially ordered and Yan to supervise the repair of the Xizhimen to the Yuquan Mountain Royal Road.

  After the fall of the dynasty, Liu Yong and He Yan successively came to the chaofang.

  Liu Yong originally wanted to prevent He Yan from supervising the construction of the imperial road, but the emperor had no choice but to resist the emperor's orders. Seeing that the arsenic and arsenic were not smooth in his nose and eyes, he knocked on the side of the side again:

  "And Zhongtang, you really see the money in the eyes, interlaced like a mountain, this superintendent of the royal road you may not be able to do it."

  He Yan thought to himself, you Liu Luoguo is specifically against me, I am competent, anyway, the emperor has been approved, you are really nosy. The last time you teased me on the street, I knelt down to your face, and now there is still a lot of discussion everywhere in Beijing. I'm going to you off this time too.

  "Ah, Liu Zhongtang, as the saying goes: cowhide can't blow, Tarzan can't pile, gourds can't be pulled, and Luo pots can't be pushed." What is the construction of the road, I and the middle hall have not done anything in the interior, you just walk and see. The royal road is repaired, I will let you take a car to go first, and I am not sure that your Luo Pot er can still be several percent. ”

  When Liu Yong heard this, this adulterous appearance was really deceiving people too much. I must not take a step back in this matter.

  After he supervised the construction of the Royal Road, Liu Yong went on the road in a micro-suit and personally went to investigate, bent on seeing the water fall out.

  On the Royal Road from Xizhimen to Yuquan Mountain, the entire construction site was fully started, and the noise of migrant workers and the collision of hammers and crowbars were chaotic. In the middle section, you can't see the two ends at a glance. Liu Yong wondered in his heart, the road construction has always been section by section, and the line of Hezhen has been spread out, and there are really new tricks.

  Liu Yong pondered in his heart, and he heard two people who looked like overseers muttering next to him:

  "If there is such a thing as this road construction, the first line is spread." The tall, black one complained.

  "Whatever you do, let you do whatever you want." The thin man shouted from the sidelines.

  The tall one said:

  "But this big bluestone piece by piece doesn't even move the nest, turn it over and put things on it, can this be a difference?"

  This led to the thin man's explanation:

  "Oh, how can you be so dead-eyed?" It is really not easy to collect and transport large bluestone, and it is mined piece by piece from Fangshan in the southwest of the capital, chiseled and neatly, which is not counted. From Fangshan to this Xizhimen, more than a hundred miles of road, can only be transported by water-splashing ice in winter. The ice road is better than the dirt road, but you still have to pull the fiber, and it is enough to pull out ten miles a day. As I said to Zhongtang, this is called 'Yulu Turning Over'. ”

  Liu Yong went to the construction site to take a look and listen, and he had a bottom in his heart. I thought that this and arsenic were really black-eyed, in order to catch these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, they actually deceived the king, and even called it "Royal Road Turning Over".

   Without further ado, Liu Yong wrote the recital overnight, and the next morning he knelt down to play the emperor:

  "Extremely anxious, the minister Liu Yong presented a special performance and asked the emperor to read it." Liu Yong's tone seemed very anxious.

  The Qianlong Emperor took a look, ho, dense, five large sheets, and there were really a lot of wow, which let me see when!

  "Liu Yong, what is so urgent, let you say it directly."

  Liu Yong also had no way, Quan Dang played folded white writing, oral music is more sharp:

  "Yesterday, the minister waited until the Royal Road to check it out, and he was actually 'turning over the Royal Road', bending the law and being corrupt, and should be punished."

  The Qianlong Emperor listened, what "royal road turning over", Liu Luo pot you are engaged in what famous hall.

  "What 'Royal Road Turning Over', it confuses all the people."

  "Long live, and Yan supervise the repair of the royal road, the original stone does not move, the front and back are turned over, the old is replaced by the new, and the false report is falsely claimed." There is negative grace. ”

  The Qianlong Emperor pondered, as it was, repairing the royal road was a top priority. He Yan supervised the cultivation, just in line with the intention, you Liu Yong just can't get along with him. This fold cannot be accurate. So he said to Liu Yong:

  "This matter is not trivial, and it will be discussed after it has been ascertained." Go down to the temple first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

  This time, Liu Yong was stopped by the Qianlong Emperor again.

  Liu Yong was not discouraged, Qianlong favored and was greedy for money, and it was also common practice to play it many times without permission. At night, he came up with a way to "reverse the imperial dress".

The next day, the Qianlong Emperor summoned Arsenic, Liu Yong, and all the ministers to the court.

  At the beginning of Liu Yong's ascension to the throne, that is, prostrating his head:

  "Minister Liu Yong presented the music, long live the Imperial Pavilion."

  Qianlong listened, how Liu Yong was the first to play today. Usually, it was a first play with arsenic, saying "Present the general up" while squinting at Liu Yong.

  It pays off! The Qianlong Emperor only saw Liu Yong wearing imperial clothes today. Hats are worn upside down, and the beads are hung on the back, and the birds on the vests are also turned to the back. The whole thing is upside down.

  "Bold Liu Yong, anti-wear the imperial dress, into what a system!" Violating the ancestral system, the law of the land is intolerable, do you know the crime?"

  The ministers looked at each other, and there was an uproar in the hall.

  Washu's eyes lit up, and he immediately played please:

  "Long live, the courtesy of the king, there are rules, Liu Yong wore court clothes, he should be punished, please long live the will."

  Upon hearing this, Liu Yong took the opportunity to fall into the well and rush back to the emperor:

  "Long live, is Wei Chen guilty of wearing the imperial dress?"

  "Guilty!" The Qianlong Emperor said loudly and firmly.

  "So is Hezhen 'Yulu Turn over' guilty?"

  "Of course guilty!" The Qianlong Emperor blurted out.

  "Two middle halls, one is 'The Royal Road Turned Over', and the other is wearing a court dress, with no eyes on the king, and the law is intolerable. In this way, and Arsenic now replaces the Thirty Mile Royal Road with a new stone of Fangshan. Liu Yong stopped in January to repent. ”

  Although the Qianlong Emperor hated Liu Yong for being so disrespectful. But he carried Hezhen with him, and alas, both of them were his beloved subjects, so be it.

  Here Liu Yong still did not let him, he moved out the set he had thought of last night.

  "The courtier asked the emperor, and since He Zhongtang had to pull stones from Fangshan, let him bring back the 'Qingzhi Xiu'." Liu Yong raised the matter again.

  Originally, "Qingzhixiu" was originally a large stone, named because it was shaped like a ganoderma lucidum and had a lot of aura. It is said that as early as the Ming Hongwu period, there was a rich businessman in Beijing, who loved stones and specialized in collecting strange stones from Qifeng to earn money. He found this piece of "Qingzhixiu" in Fangshan, and he was overjoyed, and the difference in its stone and the size of its body were unprecedented, so he quickly hired someone to transport it to the capital. However, because the size of this stone was too large, it was difficult to transport it, and before the stone could be transported to Liangxiang, this rich merchant had exhausted his money and lost his family. Today, this "Qingzhixiu" is still on Liangxiang Road.

  Liu Yong's mention of this reminded the Qianlong Emperor that not long ago, He Yan had accompanied him to the Yuanmingyuan, and the big stone in front of the Leshou Hall was really shaped like Lingzhi, and the Qianlong Emperor liked it very much.

  The Qianlong Emperor replied smoothly:

  "Oh, 'Qingzhixiu', that's a good stone, and hezhen, you can bring this stone back."

  "Subjects obey orders." Washu replied weakly.

  Liu Yong's reversal of the imperial clothes this time could cause Arsenic to seriously hurt his financial resources. You know, pulling stones from Fangshan mountain and repairing the royal road from Xizhimen to Yuquan Mountain will cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Only transporting the "Qingzhixiu" from Liangxiang to the capital also had to take tens of thousands of silver taels. Helplessly, and arsenic not only did not catch a handful, but lost a lot, thinking that they were unlucky.
