There is an interesting plot in Prime Minister Liu. When the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, all officials will go to the palace to be rewarded. On such a big reunion day, it is natural to give gifts to the emperor. As for what gifts to give, that's an official's business.
Everyone tried their best to rack their brains to buy gifts. On that day, everyone presented their own gifts, and two of them presented special gifts, one was Sun Youdao, governor of Zhejiang, and the other was Liu Yong, governor of Guangxi.
Sun Youdao presented a model sailboat, which is now very popular as a gift. However, Sun Youdao's sailboat is very special, because it is a pure gold sailboat built in 7749 days with 120 pure gold. Such a large amount of money naturally attracted the attention of civil and military officials in the hall, and everyone was amazed, but Qianlong did not seem to be satisfied. It is not that he doesn't like sailing, but that he is dissatisfied with Sun Youdao's mind.
In Qianlong's own words, this is Sun Youdao's own frugality, which makes him a fatuous and extravagant emperor. When such a hat is buckled, Sun Youdao is naturally afraid. It turns out that he is a companion who is even more powerful.
After Sun Youdao, officials offered their own gifts. It is worth mentioning that as a celebrity in Qianlong period, Xiao Shenyang's gifts are very exquisite. He sent a jade horse made of diamonds and fields. This handwriting is also unusual.
When everyone finished offering gifts, only the governor of Guangxi, Liu Yong, had been missing for a long time. Gan Long waited for a long time, but Liu Yong was still late. He brought a bucket of ginger, which he specially asked the servants in the house to buy. No one knows what medicine he is selling.
When Qianlong saw it, he was puzzled. I don't know which one is Liu Yong, but when the bucket of ginger was presented by Liu Yong and passed in front of all the courtiers, many people laughed at Liu Yong with mocking smiles on their faces, but Liu Yong was still in no hurry to present the bucket of ginger.
Qianlong made it clear that this was ginger for cooking and asked Liu Yong what it meant. Liu Yong is cute, too. Let Emperor Qianlong see the shape of the things in the bucket first, but it is not difficult for Emperor Qianlong. Ganlong said? Like overlapping mountains. ?
Then Liu Yong spoke. He said? This gift is called the unification of the country, which symbolizes the eternal stability of the Qing Dynasty and the unification of the whole country by Emperor Qianlong. Your Majesty, do you think my gift is heavy or light? ?
This is a coincidence. Ganlong couldn't help laughing. For him, there are many pearls and jade treasures, but it is really not as good as this kind of intention to impress him. Because of this, even Liu Yong couldn't tell what to do with this bucket of ginger, but Emperor Qianlong rewarded Liu Yong with a yellow jacket and asked Liu Yong and Xiao Shenyang to accompany him to lunch. This incident made Xiao Shenyang, who advocated the execution of Liu Yong, feel very uncomfortable.
In Prime Minister Liu, there are too many things that make Liu Yong uncomfortable, but this is only in film and television dramas. In real history, Liu Yong did not pose a threat to Shenyang, and it was not Liu Yong, let alone Ji Xiaolan, who really opposed Shenyang.
In fact, Liu Yong is thirty years older than Xiao Shenyang. When Xiao Shenyang was about six years old, Liu Yong was released as a local official, and for the next twenty years, Liu Yong was a local official. He is honest and upright, and he is a rare good official. This is quite famous for holding a bow with a clear interface, and women are not satisfied with their taste and friendship, and they even compare with Sue. ?
1780 or so, Liu Yong was transferred to Beijing as an official. At this time, Xiao Shenyang was favored by Gan Long, which Liu Yong did not dare to offend. Therefore, in the next few years, for most of the time before Xiao Shenyang was sentenced to death, Liu Yong went with the flow. Not only did he not become a political enemy of Xiao Shenyang, but he made mistakes in his official position, and was often blamed by Gan Long, impeached and demoted. Such Liu Yong.
Therefore, Liu Yong did not conflict with Xiao Shenyang during his official period, and he would not openly stand on the opposite side of Xiao Shenyang. He kept his head. However, there is one thing that little Shenyang can't compare with, and that is his longevity. Because of his long life, Liu Yong was demoted several times in the officialdom, and suddenly got the highest official position in his life, that is, a college student in the pavilion of people. He got this position because Gan Long said: However, Iraq has always refused to do things in a down-to-earth manner and is too lazy to walk. So, I was promoted to this position because there was no one. ?
Liu Yong's qualifications should have made him a college student, but he refused to do solid work, and Gan Long wouldn't let him do it. In the end, no one was available, so Liu Yong was used. Of course, this is also because Qianlong has considered Liu Yong's past local achievements.
Liu Yong's ability is there, but when he became a kyou-kan, he looked at Shenyang coldly, instead of doing things wholeheartedly, he went with the flow. Fortunately, although he was so much older than Xiao Shenyang, he died later than Xiao Shenyang, and finally Xiao Shenyang died. After the death of Xiao Shenyang, Liu Yong seems to have returned? Live broadcast? Later, he saw clearly the disadvantages of Cao Zheng, put forward many suggestions, which were adopted by Emperor Jiaqing, and then died in 1805, which was regarded as an honest official who didn't die a natural death.
