Xu Jun, a native of Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, was the son of Xu Qianxue, the Minister of Punishment of the Kangxi Dynasty, and the nephew of Gu Yanwu. Xu Jun, a Shu Jitu (bachelor of Hanlin Academy) in the Yongzheng period, wrote in a poem unintentionally: The bright moon still cares about me, and the breeze has no intention of leaving anyone alone; two sentences were reported by colleagues, and they were used; the bright moon missed the Ming Dynasty, with Qingfeng alluded to the Qing Dynasty and deliberately slandered the court. Yongzheng immediately issued an order to behead Xu Jun.
In the eighth year of Yongzheng (1730), Xu Jun, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, mistakenly wrote the word "崴" in "Your Majesty" in a memorial. Emperor Yongzheng immediately dismissed Xu Jun. They searched Xu's house again and found the following poems in Xu Jun's collection of poems: "Qingfeng is illiterate, so why bother flipping through books?" Disrespect will be punished immediately.
