Liu Yong's life is not like a TV series, hunched over and fought with He Kun all his life. In history, he is neither a champion nor a hunchback. His official career has experienced ups and downs, but he has not competed with He Kun. On the contrary, according to historical records, although Liu Yong was an honest and upright official, he did something to go with the flow in the interest environment.
His background is relatively good. He was born in a noble prime minister's house, and his family was a scholar from generation to generation. His father is a prime minister and is trusted and dependent by Qianlong. The reason why Liu Yong can embark on the road of prime minister is closely related to his family background.
He has been an official for decades, and his career has been ups and downs. When he was in the highest position, he was a university student in Tijen Pavilion. But on the whole, he is also honest, inherited his father's mantle, and is an important official of the court. As far as his achievements are concerned, he is not only a politician, but also a famous calligrapher and calligrapher. He is also known as one of the four great calligraphers in Qing Dynasty. His calligraphy is not only rich in pen and ink, but also vigorous and powerful. He is good at lowercase. Later generations praised his calligraphy, not only because of the courtesy of celebrities such as Wang Xizhi, Zhong You, Yan Zhenqing and Su Shi, but also because of the style of small letters in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Not only that, he is also proficient in hundreds of history books and studies ancient Chinese.
Is Liu Yong Luo Guo?
Liu Luoguo, the prime minister of a TV series, made Liu Yong a household name, and the image of Liu Yong in the play was also very popular. Emperor Qianlong loved and hated him, but he was helpless. Liu Yong on the screen is not exactly the same as Liu Yong in history. In the TV series, he is hunchbacked, but in fact, Liu Yong is not just a short, hunchbacked "Luo Guo", but a tall man about 1.9 meters.

Is it about whether he is really "Luo Guo"? This problem needs us to explore from the ancient conditions of being an official at that time. First of all, Liu Yong was born in Hakka, and he had to go through four levels of "body, character, book and sentence" to pass. "Ti" is a form, which needs regular features, otherwise it is impossible to pass. We all know that Liu Yong is a famous prime minister. It is conceivable that Liu Yong must have passed these conditions when he was an official in North Korea, and the system of selecting officials at that time was very strict, so Liu Yong was definitely not disabled or hunchbacked.
Of course, there is indeed the title of "Liu" in the history books. During the Jiaqing period, Liu Yong was called "Liu Tuozi". If you reason by time, Liu Yong should be a hunchbacked old man in his late eighties, so the title of "Liu" is well explained. There is also a saying that because Liu Yong is tall, he usually likes to read some books or practice calligraphy, which leads to hunchback after a long time.
1958. The archaeological team found the cemetery in Liu Yong, and some villagers saw Liu Yong's body with their own eyes. According to the villagers, "Liu Yong's leg bones look very long, and the whole skeleton is almost one meter nine.
Liu Yong's descendants
Liu Yong of the Qing Dynasty was born in a family that was an official for generations. There are countless scholars at home, and many officials. And Liu Yong's father has reached the peak of an official, but it does not mean that Liu Yong is poor. On the contrary, Liu Yong is also very good. Like his father, he became prime minister. What about Liu Yong's descendants?

Historically, Liu Yong was a famous politician and calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty, and his father was an important minister during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Liu Yong is knowledgeable and versatile, and has been a scholar for sixteen years. He used to be a magistrate in Jishi Shu, imperial academy and Taiyuan. His calligraphy is also a must, with profound attainments, and he is also a famous calligrapher in Qing Dynasty. Regarding his calligraphy, there is a popular name called "Prime Minister of Thick Ink".
Regarding the descendants of Liu Yong, there is no clear information about Liu Yong's descendants according to the relevant historical materials. In the previous description, Liu Yong talked about Liu Yong's grandfather, father and brother, but did not mention his son. On the other hand, Liu Yong has no descendants. But this is not very accurate, perhaps because Liu Yong's son is not good enough to go down in history. Maybe his son is too good, but the length of the record is limited, so it is omitted.
According to Liu Yong's genealogy, he has descendants. It is said that this son is still an adopted son. But as for who this adopted son is, I don't think it matters. There are two kinds of disputes about the names of his two adopted sons, one is Liu Xipeng and the other is Liu. These two have the same background except their names. It is also said that the adopted son's biological father died early, and Liu Yong was forced to have no children and daughters, so he adopted his nephew to himself.
