What official has Liu Yong been (Liu Yong is not a good man)

In the forty-eighth year of Qianlong (1783), Liu Yong was promoted to the position of governor of Zhili, co-hosting the university students and taking charge of imperial academy affairs.

Qianlong fifty-one years (1786), served as deputy director of Yuting. However, in the following years, Liu Yong kept making mistakes, his official voice became worse, and he was repeatedly scolded by the emperor.

At the beginning of the fifty-second year of Qianlong (1787), Liu Yong was reprimanded for leaking the conversation with the emperor about Cao, and was dismissed as a co-organizer. In August, Qianlong entrusted Liu Yong to preside over the sacrificial ceremony at the Confucian Temple, and was illegally attended by Qing Debao of Taichang Temple because he did not bow as required.

In the summer of the fifty-third year of Qianlong (1788), while Liu Yong was in charge of imperial academy, there was a bribery case in which the candidates who had obtained the township examination were fed to the court officials, and Liu Yong was impeached by Yu Shizhu and punished.

In April of the fifty-fourth year of Qianlong (1789), the nobles who went to the study could not reach the study for a long time. As a chef, Liu Yong refused to correct it and was demoted to assistant minister of the official department.

In the fifty-eighth year of Qianlong (1793), Liu Yong served as the examiner of that year's examination, but his improper arrangement for marking papers led to a large number of papers being illegal and unqualified.

In the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong (1794), he moved to the cabinet, with a bachelor's degree and an official position as an official.

In March of the second year of Jiaqing (1797), Liu Yong was awarded a bachelor's degree in Tijen Pavilion, but was accused by Emperor Tai Shang (Qianlong) of always refusing to do things sincerely and being lazy at work, saying that he promoted Liu Yong because there was no other candidate. In May, Liu Yong went to Shandong to handle a case with Shangshu Qinggui and inspected the breach of the Yellow River. Liu Yong wrote to request to build a dam at the breach and divert the downstream, and the court adopted the opinion.

Liu Yong always made mistakes in his later years as an official, which provoked Qianlong to scold him. There was a time when it rained in Beijing, and the masters of the Pope's study room didn't start classes for several days, but the master of the study room was Liu Yong. Ganlong was very angry when he learned that Liu Yong had breached the contract and was demoted. Later, he served as the examiner of the exam. Because of his hasty arrangement, he didn't pay attention to the test paper seriously, which led to many unqualified test papers. It is also a typical "examiner's default", which is naturally more unpopular.

A series of events made Liu Yong lose the opportunity to be awarded a university degree, and it was not until later that he was awarded a university degree in Tijen Pavilion. Liu Yong has never been in the military department in his life, nor has he been in contact with the political power center of imperial power. It is probably inappropriate for later generations to call Liu Yong Prime Minister. It should be noted here that there was no post of prime minister in the Qing Dynasty. The reason why there is the saying of "Prime Minister Liu" is because Liu Yong's highest position is equivalent to the prime minister before the Ming Dynasty.

There is a big difference before and after Liu Yong became an official The mistakes he made were neither big nor small. He was not beheaded by the emperor, but he was often scolded by the emperor. The reason why Liu Yong went from being upright to being confused is because those who are mediocre, confused and unable to take credit are more liked by Qianlong. Liu Yong just saw through this, so he would rather be confused, at the very least, he can protect himself. Of course, this kind of thinking is unacceptable to us today, and it is impossible for such "good" officials to benefit the people. But in Liu Yong's time, in the face of a monarch like Qianlong, Liu Yong sometimes had to do so.
