Since there is no longer the hardship and pressure of his fathers who forged ahead and endured hardships, Emperor Qianlong continued to play in the aspect of "leisure and leisure"! So he made six trips to the south of the Yangtze River, wrote more than 40,000 poems, promoted Chinese studies (led to the formation of the Qianjia School), and the quintessence of Chinese Peking Opera was formed at that time.
Many romantic stories and folk legends have been spread, which are still talked about by the public and can be seen in various forms of literary and artistic works. Among them, the story of the Iron Triangle of Qianlong, Liu Yong, and He Shen (not the Iron Triangle) is even more well-known. The one that everyone is familiar with is "The Fight between the King and His Minister" performed by the cross talk stand-up king Mr. Liu Baorui. What I’m going to talk about today is an extra chapter from “The Fight between Kings and Ministers”.
Liu Yong is the eldest son of the bachelor Liu Tongxun. He serves as the bachelor of the cabinet. He is famous for his law-abiding and integrity. He had profound attainments in calligraphy and was a famous master of calligraphy in the Qing Dynasty. He was known as the "Prime Minister of Heavy Ink" by the world. It is said that he was more than 1.9 meters tall. Whether there is any research is unknown, but it is "Prime Minister Liu Luo Guo" that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. image inside. Heshen was Qianlong's most favored and powerful official, with power over the entire government.
One day Emperor Qianlong was riding in a golden carriage and discussed political affairs with the great scholars Liu Yong and Heshen. Then the "bickering" mode started. Qianlong said: "I am 45 years old this year. I am a horse. What is Liu Aiqing's zodiac sign?" Liu Yong thought for a moment and replied: "I am also 45 years old this year, and I am a donkey." ?
Emperor Qianlong asked: ?Since Aiqing is the same age as me, why is she a donkey? And is there an animal like a donkey in the Chinese zodiac? Liu Yong smiled and replied: "Although I am a horse, the horse tied to the house (household) is a donkey. It is not like the emperor's horse that can gallop thousands of miles and travel across the world, so of course I am a donkey." Qianlong laughed loudly, then turned and said with a serious face: "Do you think that my house will keep you tied up, so that you can't leap forward and show your ambitions?" Liu Yong was startled at first, then pondered for a moment, and replied with a smile: Only in the house of Long Live can I make the best use of everything and display my talents. In this life, I am willing to work for the emperor and follow the example of the emperor. After hearing this, Qianlong laughed loudly and praised: "Liu Aiqing's answer is wonderful! Come and give Liu Aiqing my royal fan." ?Liu Yong thanked the emperor for his kindness and turned to look at He Shen next to him.
At first, He Shen was secretly happy, because this topic was his contribution to Qianlong. He thought it would embarrass Liu Yong, so as to avenge the old revenge he had been tricked by Liu Yong several times in the past. Unexpectedly, Liu Yong cleverly answered the question and was rewarded by the emperor. While he was thinking about it, he happened to meet Liu Yong's eyes. He couldn't help but feel startled and thought: "Something bad is going to happen!" I don't know what bad idea this Luo Guo has to embarrass me? ?
Liu Yong said slowly and unhurriedly: "Start playing to the emperor!" In fact, I am also 45 years old this year, and my zodiac sign is Donkey, just like me. ? Qianlong and He Shen were both shocked when this statement came out, but they had different thoughts. Qianlong was startled because he wanted to hear what Liu Yong had to say next; He Shen was startled because he was afraid that Liu Yong would be tricked today.
Qianlong said: Since Liu Aiqing said this, it must be reasonable, and I am willing to listen attentively. After saying that, he glanced at Heshen and said in his heart: "Heshen, you can't run today, you can dig a hole and jump by yourself!" Who is Liu Yong? Do you fight him? You deserve to wear my fan for nothing! ?
Liu Yong continued: "I and Lord He are both donkeys, and they are both donkeys in the emperor's house." It's just that this donkey is specially used to transport goods and luggage, so it has a lot of strength in its legs and muscles. If you don’t believe me, look at the hunchback on my back. It was worn out by carrying things on my back. ?Qianlong smiled knowingly, and Heshen grinned awkwardly. Liu Yong said again: "Master He, this donkey is used to grind soybeans and make tofu. He usually works hard without complaint and is conscientious. It can be said that hard work is a great achievement!" ?He Shen thought to himself: ?It’s over! This is Luo Guozi's usual routine of "praising first and then throwing down"! The higher the praise, the more ruthless it is! Why! Listen to what he says next. ?
Liu Yong went on to say: ?But the emperor has to hang a bell on the donkey He sir! ?Qianlong asked: ?Why is this? ?Liu Yong said: ?This is to prevent this donkey from not working and just stealing soybeans to eat! Qianlong burst out laughing again after hearing this, and the eunuch next to him almost farted from holding it in.
He Shen was already red-faced and at a loss. He wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
In this way, Liu Yong used his intelligence and eloquence to resolve Qianlong's problems and played with He Shen, which was very satisfying. What could He Shen do? The mute couldn't tell the pain of eating Coptis chinensis. ?
