However, according to later research, the real Liu Yong in history is not just the so-called? Luo Guo? On the contrary, he is a big man who is over 1.9 meters tall. The Qianlong and Jiaqing of Shizai are both around 1.7 meters, while Liu Yong, who is at 1.9 meters, often bends down to serve the emperor in order to save face. Therefore, Liu Yong had a hunchback in his later years and was dubbed by Jiaqing as? Liu Tuozi? ,? What about Liu? That's why it came.
Back to the topic, Emperor Qianlong, who won the skill of the emperor, was very tolerant of his officials, and he also enjoyed being with them.
One day, after the end of the imperial court, Emperor Qianlong left Liu Yong at the suggestion of Xiao Shenyang, a favorite, and gave Liu Yong a difficult problem, taking the opportunity to test Liu Yong's talent and ability to improvise.
Gan Long said? I am forty-five years old. I am a horse. What about you, Liu? ? Liu Yong, the same age as Gan Long, is also a horse and was about to answer. On second thought, no, because in ancient feudal society, some things were taboo for parents or kings, so we couldn't swear directly, so we had to put them forward in another way euphemistically. Liu Yong answered? I am 45 years old, but I am a donkey. ?
Emperor Qianlong asked why? Liu Yong smiled and answered:? Although I belong to a horse, the horse tied to the side of the house (resident) is for donkeys, unlike the emperor's horse, which can gallop thousands of miles and travel all over the world, so of course I belong to a donkey. ? After listening to this, Gan Long smiled. All right, you Liu Yong. ? Liu Yong's ability to improvise not only made his opponent Xiao Shenyang suffer a dumb loss, but also won the favor of Gan Long himself.
But in fact, what about Liu Yong? Is it a donkey? This incident is just a folk story, and there is no official history or unofficial history record. On the contrary, Liu Yong was born in 17 19 and belongs to a pig. Gan Long was born in 17 1 1 year. He is a rabbit, so they can't be the same age. Obviously, this is a joke, not even unofficial history, and the source of this joke is Mr. Liu Baorui's story "The Battle between the Monarch and the Minister", which can basically be concluded to be false.
Although the story is false, it is true that Liu Yong is smooth and rigorous, and besides integrity, Liu Yong's upright and upright character is also spread all over the world, but I think the most valuable thing is that he has two faces, one is upright and straight, and the other is smooth and low-key.
The reason for this is that Liu Yong knows a truth for the official. If he wants to make a living for all people, his own strength is not enough to compete with this dirty officialdom. He must blend in, dye himself black first, and then save the people with his sincere heart wrapped in black.
It is worth mentioning that both Emperor Qianlong and Liu Yong lived for a long time. Emperor Qianlong lived for eighty-nine years, and Liu Yong lived for eighty-five years until the ninth year of Jiaqing. After the death of Qianlong, Xiao Shenyang was immediately seized by Jiaqing, and Liu Yong was one of the presiding judges of the cronyism corruption case in Xiao Shenyang.
For the family in small Shenyang, it doesn't matter if you don't copy it When you copied it, you actually copied a large amount of property, so later generations said: When Shenyang fell, Jiaqing had a full stomach. ? Although he Kun was young and gained power during the Qianlong period, he also paid the price of his life because of greed. Compared with Gan Long and Liu Yong, he lived a long and happy life, but he was somewhat sad. As the saying goes, Jun Jun and chenchen, chenchen and Jun Jun are fighting happily.
