The General Administration Department forwarded a memorial from Liu Yong, the former Shaanxi inspector who had lost his father, Ding You. In the memorial, he revealed that Cheng, a scholar from Shuntian Prefecture, had written an anti-poetry.
The anti-poem is "Although a belly is full of literature, it is not as good as a bag of money."
The foreman Manzhang Jingqinggui, who was responsible for classifying the memorials and forwarding them to different military ministers for disposal, read it for a long time and really didn't know what the meaning of this poem was, so he handed the memorial to his colleague Hanzhang Jingwang Rizhang for review.
After Wang looked at it, he couldn't help but sneer: "This Liu Yong, Ding You is not at ease at home, and he wants to harm others with his words!"
There is a reason for this. Liu Yong comes from a family of officials. His grandfather once served as the governor of Sichuan, and his father is Liu Tongxun, a great scholar who passed away last year.
In his early years, Liu Yong did not take the exam because of his father Liu Tongxun and sought a career. Later, under the guidance of his father, he passed the second-class and second-class Jinshi exams and has been serving in the Hanlin Academy.
Because the emperor held Liu Tongxun in high esteem and loved his family, he also had high hopes for Liu Yong and gave him poems to teach him. Among them was the line "Haidai is a high family, Yingzhou is a new Hanlin", which meant that he hoped that Liu Yong would not disgrace his family name and make great achievements.
However, after Liu Yong was transferred to the Jiangsu Academy of Political Science, he did not want to be content with his job, but instead indulged in the prison of writing.
He said that Jiangsu scholars were causing trouble and acted recklessly, and their writings were very disrespectful to the imperial court. The officials in the prefecture and prefecture were too concerned about this and refused to investigate because of their intertwined interests. As a result, he was asked to weave several major writing cases, implicating dozens of scholars and supervisors.
people.
However, the Literary Prison is the most important thing that the emperor loves the most. Liu Yong understood his superior's intention to attack the scholars in Jiangsu and found his true origin. Although he took people's lives for no reason, he became more and more important to the emperor.
However, it was later discovered that this person conspired with the magistrate of Yangqu County in Jining to embezzle treasury money. Although Liu Yong tried his best to argue that it was just an oversight, he was repeatedly investigated for corruption and was dismissed from his post and sentenced to death according to law.
It was only because of his father Liu Tongxun that the emperor granted him a favor and pardoned him from the death penalty for corruption and sent him to the military platform to serve as atonement.
Later, it was Liu Tongxun who petitioned for his son, and then he was re-appointed and granted the title of prefect of Jiangning.
This time, Liu Yong was much more honest and did not dare to be corrupt anymore. He became a more fair and honest official, so he was promoted to Shaanxi Inspector.
However, Liu Yong never expected that his "supporter" bachelor father died suddenly, and he had to rush back to the capital from Shaanxi to guard the system for his father Ding You.
Ding You three years.
As the old saying goes, Liu Yong, who is fifty-three years old, knows that even if he can recover in three years, he will never be satisfied with his life due to the death of his father.
Because he is already old.
At this time, three major writing cases involving Qian Jun, the governor of Sichuan, Shu Chang, the deputy governor of Manchuria, and Shichen, the minister of rites, gave Liu Yong a sense of opportunity.
Although he was Dingyou, as a third-rank official, he still had the power to submit memorials to the court. He immediately revealed that a member of the Communist Party of China, Cheng, had written an anti-poetry, trying to make the emperor not forget him.
Where is the opposite of the poem "Although a belly is full of books, it is not as good as a bag of money"?
Liu Yong's view is that Cheng was disrespectful to the Qing nation by giving his "full belly" to his "pocket of money"!
"Thankfully Liu Yong figured it out. If this can be considered an anti-poetry, wouldn't it mean that he can't write it if he is full of complaints?"
Wang Rizhang went from being a child to becoming a Jinshi step by step until today. Naturally, he looked down on Liu Yong who relied on his father's relationship to get promoted without even taking the provincial examination.
Besides, what qualifications does a corrupt criminal who should have been executed ten years ago have to criticize others for writing anti-poetry?
"Master Wang, be careful what you say."
The speaker was another Manzhang Jingna Danzhu. After reading Liu Yong's denunciation memorial, he believed that whether this association was reasonable or not, it was none of their business and was left to the Minister of Military and Aircraft to deal with it.
Soon, this memorial was presented to Solin, the Minister of Military Aircraft who was on duty.
After reading it, Suo Lin pondered for a moment and knew Liu Yong's intentions. Seeing that she had a good relationship with her father Liu Tongxun when he was still alive, she personally sent Liu Yong's memorial to the Yangxin Hall.
In the Hall of Yangxin, Chief Military Minister Yu Minzhong, Minister of Military Aircraft Fulong'an, and Minister of War Iletu were all there.
The emperor and his ministers were discussing the matter of General Agui of Dingxi being shot and injured.
Agui was injured and it was difficult to take charge of military affairs. Fulong'an wanted his right deputy general Mingliang to take over his command. Agui could recuperate in Chengdu or return to Beijing and wait until he recovered before marching.
Yiletu, the Minister of War, believed that the left deputy general Feng Sheng'e could succeed Agui.
Chief Military Minister Yu Minzhong wanted to recommend Governor Fulehun of Sichuan to replace Agui, but he never spoke out to replace Fulehun as commander-in-chief of the army.
He Shenye, who has been promoted to the first-class imperial bodyguard, was in the palace and it was related to the selection of General Dingxi, so he did not dare to say anything.
When Sorin entered the palace, Yiletu was explaining to the emperor several advantages of Fengsheng'e as a successor to Agui, the main reason being that Fengsheng'e was good at fighting.
However, Bright is also good at fighting.
Seeing Suolin entering the palace holding a playbook, Qianlong couldn't help but ask him: "What's the matter?"
Suo Lin said: "Your Majesty, Liu Yong, son of the late scholar Liu Tongxun, has submitted a memorial."
Upon hearing that it was Liu Yong, Liu Tongxun's son, who had written the letter, Qianlong immediately called He Shen to come forward and take it and hand it to him.
After opening it and looking at it, he couldn't help but nodded slightly with an expression of approval, and then asked Suolin to instruct Shuntian Mansion to capture Cheng Xiucai, who could be executed immediately.
When Suolin was about to deliver the order, Qianlong stopped him again and warned him: "Liu Tongxun made many contributions to the court during his lifetime, and his son Liu Yong was also a talent. He asked the Military Aircraft Department to note it down. When Liu Tongxun is full of Dingyou, he will be awarded the cabinet bachelor's degree."
, working in the South Study Room."
"嗻!"
Sorin had just exited the hall, and before she could return to the military aircraft, another urgent delivery box was presented.
It is the secret code of Jia Jia Shikai, the first-class imperial guard and leader of the group.
He Shen stepped forward to take it, then opened the secret box and handed the secret inside to the emperor.
After Qianlong looked at it, his eyes looked deep in thought, and he suddenly said to Min Zhong, "You should also take a look."
Yu Minzhong, Fulong'an, and Yiletu didn't know what Mi Zhe was talking about, so they followed the order and stepped forward to watch.
After Heshen and the other three adults took a look, he walked lightly to the edge and took a look.
The three adults who had read what Jia Jiashi Kai Mi Zhe said were speechless and all remained silent.
"Fulong'an, draft the decree."
Qianlong spoke, and first ordered Mingliang, the right deputy general of Dingxi, to replace the injured Agui as temporary general of Dingxi.
Afterwards, an oral message was sent to the deputy commander of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army, Fu Chang'an, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, and the imperial doctor to quickly go to Jinchuan, "You must visit Agui for my good health."
After the two decrees were issued, Qianlong waved his hand to Yu Minzhong and others to kneel down, but asked Heshen to stay and asked him: "Heshen, why do you think Agui didn't let Jia Jiashikai visit?"
He Shen was startled and quickly lowered his head: "I don't dare to speak nonsense."
Qianlong was displeased: "I tell you to say whatever you want. Is there anything you can't say nonsense?"
But He Shen shook his head: "Your Majesty, I really don't know."
"Yes, you and Shen don't know, and I, the emperor, don't know either. I just listen to what they say about everything. If someone wants to hide it from me, who can I rely on?"
Qianlong's eyes fell on the handsome He Shen's face, "If you want to do something, you should first be the deputy commander of Manchuria of Zhenglan Banner, go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to help Ying Lian for a while, and after the New Year, go to the Military Aircraft Department to work."
