Wei Zi and Gan Long play chess.

1996' s classic TV series "Prime Minister Liu" tells a story: During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Yong, a young man from Shandong Province, was born in a famous family and didn't look amazing, and went to Beijing to take the exam. First, I beat Emperor Qianlong at chess, and then I married the beautiful daughter of the Sixth Prince by chance. Later, when he became the first high school, he won the highest award and was reused by the court.

Because this Liu Yong was born with a Luo country, he was named "Liu". Who would have thought it was such a country? Later, he became a prime minister and went down in history, which was a model of his ugliness and brilliance.

This Liu Yong is a Luo country, but the other contemporary is a one-eyed, similar to Liu Yong's glory. This man won fame because of the two couplets behind him. He is Liu.

1830 (ten years of Daoguang), Liu died of illness in Yangzhou, Jiangsu. It has been ten years since he petitioned to go home for rest due to illness in 182 1.

As the saying goes, a military commander comes out of troubled times, and a scholar comes out of prosperous times. In fact, during the war, those generals who have fought many battles and made outstanding achievements often become the pillars of the country and are valued, and the literati are at most a behind-the-scenes adviser and strategist, offering suggestions and suggestions.

In the prosperous times, the importance of literati is prominent. Prosperous times need cultural enlightenment to consolidate feudal rule and centralization through etiquette.

According to folklore and unofficial history's records, a large number of Han literati in the Qing Dynasty could make a difference in the imperial court for fame and fortune, but it was not.

Manchu aristocrats dominated the Qing dynasty, who strictly guarded and controlled the vast majority of Han people in the country. Especially in the early and middle Qing dynasty, the control of Han literati in Manchu dynasty was even more incredible.

If the Han people are careless or dissatisfied in their writing, it will inevitably set off a literary inquisition, which will easily implicate the nine clans and kill hundreds or even thousands of people. However, people can only drag out an ignoble existence when lamenting.

It is not easy for a group of China literati, represented by Liu Yong and Wei Liu, not only to be independent, but also to help the world and the country and go down in history.

Liu, 176 1, is from Shangli, Pingxiang, Jiangxi. Qing Qianlong was a scholar in the fifty-fourth year, and a draft was explored. Liu Yisheng has written a lot, whether it's a collection of stories and regrets written in his life or a Notes on the History of the Five Dynasties written by textual research on the history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Or the Supplement to Jiangxi Classics written by Zheng Cun, a native culture of Jiangxi, is praised as "a great instrument of Jiangxi" because of its brilliant talent. Today, the story of this great genius in Jiangxi is still widely circulated.

One-eyed can't be on the gold list? Half a month later, it was still radiant, and the Kun couple won a place in history.

After the imperial examination this year, one person was included in the list of the top ten volumes recommended to Emperor Qianlong by the examiner because of his excellent articles and his usual poems.

When the examiner finished reading Liu's paper, Emperor Qianlong couldn't help admiring the young man's writing ability, so he gladly sent Liu Qu for an interview.

When Liu came to the main hall to salute, Emperor Qianlong was more or less shocked and suddenly stunned. It turns out that this person is one-eyed and really ugly.

It would be beneath the dignity of the Great Qing Dynasty to take him away. If you don't take him, the interview comes, and it seems that you judge a book by its cover, so you decide to take this test.

He hesitated for a long time and said to Liu, "I heard that you are excellent in your studies." When I saw you today, I couldn't judge you just by your appearance. I might as well test you face to face. If you are really flexible and have a superior strategy, Zheng will guarantee your success. "

I want to test you face to face. If you are really talented, I will definitely give you some advice. If you only see me in name, you don't have to blame me for being heartless. You'd better go home and farm.

Hearing this, Liu readily agreed without thinking: "Please ask the emperor a question. Although I am one-eyed, I have the heart to share my worries and plead for me. I am frank and open, and I am all ears.

Emperor Qianlong said, "In that case, I will make couplets and you will make couplets." Then he said a couplet: "Cyclops can't be on the gold list."

Hearing this, Liu Yi, sure enough, today's family will judge a book by its cover. Looking back on the long river of history, there are many talented people everywhere, but few of them can be appreciated by the king.

What's more, those who are as difficult to be elegant as themselves will inevitably have a chill in their hearts. Let nature take its course. People say I was born useful. Whether it works or not, I might as well let him have a try.

Answer a couplet immediately: "Half a month is still as dry as Kun!"

When this was said, all the people present were amazed, and even the emperor Qianlong couldn't help cheering. Just think, if you want to be the mainstay of the imperial court, a country's officials should set an example, and Wen Tao's military skills are naturally due, and his appearance and bearing are also indispensable. One-eyed is really unsatisfactory in image, let aloneno. 1

And Liu this sentence, half a month should be for their own one-eyed, even if the moon is half a radiance is enough to illuminate the world, although it is one-eyed, but it can also assist the king, as the name implies, it can be seen that its inner ambition is ambitious and extraordinary.

This also provoked the rise of Emperor Qianlong, saying, "I'll give you another couplet, and you can come." Another couplet: "Dong Qiming, Xi Chang Geng, Nanji Beidou, who is the star picker?"

As soon as this alliance came out, ministers felt very delicate. A couplet not only covers the four directions of east, west, north and south, but also includes many stars such as Qi Ming, Chang Gung, Nanji and Beidou. I am a courtier of Emperor Qianlong, but who can pick the stars? Will it be you, Liu?

Almost without a pause, Liu immediately said, "Spring peony, summer peony, autumn chrysanthemum, winter plum flower, Tanhualang."

Liu's four seasons, peony, peony, autumn chrysanthemum and winter plum deal with the four directions of southeast, northwest and stars, which are both semantically harmonious and intellectually harmonious. I am a flower picker, and I should be a star picker.

Emperor Qianlong was overjoyed when he heard this, so he made a little calligraphy, and used Wei Liu's third flower to explore Lang in the first place. Liu not only showed his talent to Emperor Qianlong, but also expressed his sincere loyalty to the imperial court. Since then, his career has been smooth sailing. This is not only caused by his talent, but also because he has a conscience for the country, for the people and for the country.

Later, Liu was named Prince Shao Bao and served as assistant minister in the four departments of official, household, ritual and military affairs. He occupies a high position and has become a model for countless officials.

Thanks to the trust and appreciation of Emperor Qianlong, he served as the examiner of imperial examinations in Hubei and Guangxi, where he studied politics and applied talents. During his tenure, Liu's selection of talents was fair and honest, and his reputation spread far and wide. His story has also been talked about by later generations.

As we all know, a good leather bag can bring many conveniences in all aspects. As everyone knows, what really matters is inner talent, tolerance and lofty aspirations. Among them, there are many treasures and many bumps, but the true meaning of rich poetry books is what we should really think about and pursue.
