Li Wei, a native of Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, was born in the 26th year of Kangxi and died in Ganlong for three years. Li _ was not a good court official, but his family bought him a imperial academy diploma and donated it by donation. Because he didn't read much when he was a child, although Li Wei later became a big official, he would still make fun of some typos.
Although Li Wei has no education, he is very clever. After his touts draft official documents and read them to him, they always find out the key points of the problem and dictate them to touts for revision. Everyone is sure. When Li tried the case, he was quick-witted and quick-judged, and he was undoubtedly illiterate.
According to the Public Health Biography of the National People's University of China, Li is a burly man with big arms and a round waist. He looks like a brave soldier, and he is easily recognized when walking in the street. Because Li Wei's face is as big as a washbasin and his nostrils are open, he is different from ordinary people. And Li _, although the soldier's figure is pale, he has a pockmarked face, which is a pity.
Li Wei has a strong physique and likes practicing martial arts since childhood. After he became an official, he set up a Yong Jian camp and recruited some strong men in the local area to practice fighting skills. Every time Li _ takes Yong Jianying out to catch thieves, he wears shining armor, holds iron bars, directs and leads an addictive life. But Yongzheng did not agree with his image as a soldier. When Li volunteered to kill him in the northwest battlefield, Yongzheng said disdainfully, I knew you were not cut out for this. Don't bother.
Soon after Yongzheng came to power, he found that the provinces owed a lot of money and food, so he made an inventory. Provincial officials were very scared after hearing the news. At that time, Li Jue was the governor of Zhejiang, and immediately called his men to discuss countermeasures. His men can't think of any good way. Li said, "Without an imperial envoy, the emperor would not believe us. However, if an imperial envoy comes, our governors have no right to interfere in the inventory, and I am afraid our debts will be exposed. I might as well take the initiative to call the court and say, "Zhejiang's money and grain have long been wasted." It's time for the imperial envoys to check and rectify. However, it is the first time for an imperial envoy to come to the local area, fearing that nothing will be achieved at once. As local officials, they should cooperate with each other and ask the emperor to make a decision. '
Later, Li lied about his birthday, so officials from 72 counties in central Zhejiang rushed to congratulate him. Halfway through the birthday party, Li Wei sent someone to the hall and said, "An imperial envoy in charge of money and grain will come at once. Don't lie to me if you owe money. I can save you. If you don't listen, don't blame me for not giving you a chance and being arrested and killed. " Everyone was scared and said, "I am willing to listen to adults." Then Li Wei sent these people back. Whether they have debts or not, they should register them truthfully and give them to him to let him know what he is doing.
In addition, after receiving Li's memorial, Yongzheng agreed to his suggestion, sent the finance minister to Zhejiang for inventory, and approved Li to assist in inventory. Peng Wei has visited other provinces south of the Yangtze River. This man works hard. In addition, the governors of Jiangnan also dare not interfere in his work. As a result, many problems appeared and many people were caught by him. Peng Weixin is also going to report to the court and punish these people on charges of "flowing, cutting, supervising and chasing", which makes these places panic and complain.
After inspecting other provinces, Peng Weixin was still unfinished, and then he was ordered to come to Zhejiang happily. Unexpectedly, after seeing Yongzheng, Li _ showed him Yongzheng's instructions and said, "The court asked me to help you with the inventory work. Please ask the adults to discuss what to do. " Peng Weixin saw Li _ holding Yongzheng's instructions in his hand and withdrew a lot.
Later, Li Wei hosted a banquet for Peng Weixin and took wine to travel around China. Li Wei sighed, "cooperation has never been controversial. I have a bad temper and like to argue with others. I have been criticized by the emperor many times. I hope that there will be no disputes when working with adults this time, but I don't know how to avoid it? " Peng Weixin said, "Well, let's go to the county to check, shall we?" Li Wei said, "All right."
Now, Li Wei asked his entourage to write the names of Zhejiang counties on paper, then crumpled the paper into a ball and put it on a plate. Li Wei and Peng Weixin each took half. What Peng Weixin didn't expect was that these paper balls actually made Li Wei play this trick, and the loser and the loser secretly made different marks. Li _ took most of the counties and counties that owed him money and gave all the good ones to Peng Weixin.
Later, Peng Weixin made a careful inventory, but because Li Wei did something wrong, he found nothing. Li _ counted and asked the people who owed the county to find a way to make up for it as soon as possible and make things clear as soon as possible. After the inventory was completed, Li Wei and Peng Weixin met and asked, "Why, there are debts everywhere?" Peng Weixin said, "No."Li Wei pretended to be surprised, but said happily, "Congratulations, I don't have it here."
So they are all very happy. Together, they told the court that Zhejiang had no debt. Yongzheng was overjoyed when he received the report, and said, "Everyone said that auditing accounts was troublesome, but Li _ didn't. It seems that this boy is really amazing. " Later, Yongzheng named Li Wei as the Prince of Taibao, with a great reward, and other officials at all levels in Zhejiang also stepped up step by step. As a result, his men were completely convinced by Li Wei.
Li Wei is a stubborn man, but once he met someone more stubborn than him. One day, Li Wei asked a clerk named Tian Fang to write a letter to the emperor, asking him to appoint his family as a descendant of the Five Dynasties. Tian Fang refused to write, saying, "People have asked about the seals of the three generations of passwords, but they have never heard of the seals of the five generations. I can't write this passbook. " Li Wei said, "Never mind, just write." . Tian Fang still refused to write, which made Li Wei furious and scolded, "You son of a bitch, write if you want." There is no precedent. Let me set a precedent. What are you doing? "
When Tian Fang was scolded, she suddenly stood up and said angrily, "I think you have grown up." You took advantage of the emperor's brief love for you, but ignored the court. I sincerely advise you, but you don't thank me or even insult me? Adults are descendants, and it is not enough to seal three generations. I am also a descendant. My generation has never been burned, and you call me a son of a bitch. Is this fair? I just refuse to accept it! Not satisfied! "
Li Wei has never seen anyone talk to him like this. He couldn't go down for a while, but he got angry again and said, "Even if I am wrong, what can you do if you don't accept it?" Tian Fang said, "You are an adult and I am a small official. Don't say adults scold me. I can't do anything. Even if you kill me, there is nothing I can do! Unfortunately, the power of adults can be imposed on villains, but the principle of villains is straightforward for adults! "
Tian Fang said, and turned to leave. He said one leng one leng, li wei a long time no sound. That evening, Li Wei sent someone to find Tian. After thinking about it in the afternoon, Tian Fang felt too impulsive. When she heard Li Wei calling him, she thought she was going to kill him. When she came in, her feet were shaking and her face was like dust. She didn't want Li Wei to hold his hand. She smiled and said, "Your son is a little brave. It's a pity to be a deacon. Why don't I lend you 1220 silver to buy a county magistrate and be an official in the future, as clean as it is today? " Tian Fang didn't expect Li Wei to do this to him, but he couldn't help thanking him. Later, in Fuping County, he served as the magistrate of Rencheng and Fengxiang County, and gained a good reputation during his tenure.
Li _, Tian Wenjing and E Ertai are the three most beloved ministers in Yongzheng Dynasty, and they are also often referred to as "model princes". However, Tian Wenjing is interesting. Seeing that Li Wei was favored, he was jealous. He spoke ill of Li Wei behind his back in front of Yongzheng, and Yongzheng was unmoved. When Tian Wenjing failed, he turned to PLO's Li Wei. On one occasion, just in time for Li Wei's mother's death, Tian Wenjing pretended to be high-profile, specially sent someone to offer condolences and gave Li Wei a gift. Li Wei shouted, "Although my old mother is dead, I won't drink a spoonful of water." Later, Li _ ordered his men to keep Tian Wenjing's emissary out of the gate and throw the things sent by Tian Wenjing into the pigsty to show their contempt for making friends with this person.
On the other hand, the reason why people like Li _, who are not from the imperial examination, are reused mainly depends on the selection criteria of Yongzheng. In the late Kangxi period, the official virtue was the most important, followed by. As a result, officials of various countries only pay attention to the reputation of incorruptibility. They are honest everywhere except doing practical things. As we all know, it is difficult to distinguish between honest and corrupt officials in this world. The blind pursuit of honest officials has led to many disadvantages. After Yongzheng came to power, he often said to Li: Honest officials are like puppets, useless and not conducive to the national economy and people's livelihood. Therefore, the selection of Yongzheng is based on talent first, and then on qualifications or imperial examination background. Just like Li's posthumous title's "understanding", it not only reflects Li's way of being an official, but also reflects Yongzheng's criteria for selecting officials. Because of this, Li stood out in the Yongzheng dynasty and became a capable minister.
Being born in the world is also a great blessing in life, which coincides with the noble people.
