Gan Long said I was a horse at the age of 45; Liu Yong said I was a donkey at 45. What did Liu Yong say to make Gan Long happy?

One day, Gan Long, Xiao Shenyang and Liu Yong were chatting, and there were bursts of laughter from time to time. It seems that the monarch and the minister are in perfect harmony. Suddenly, Gan Long said, "I am 45 years old this year." Liuyong subconsciously replied: "I am 45 years old this year."

Gan Long took a cold look and said, "Really? I am a horse. What about Ai Qing? "

Small Shenyang gloated at Lu Yong. Liu Yong actually regretted the moment he said it. Who told him to talk so fast? He dares to be the same age as Grandpa Long Live. Realizing his mistake, he began to plan how to make Emperor Qianlong happy. Hearing Gan Long's question, his mind flashed and he replied, "I am a donkey."

Gan Long was shocked at once, and then he was furious. He thought, what a Liu Yong! How dare you tease me? First you said you were the same age as me, and then you said you were not from the same genus. Besides, where did the donkey come from in the zodiac? Isn't this Liu teasing me with his cleverness? It seems that he was too tolerant before, so he was lawless.

The more you think about it, the angrier you get. Then he said loudly, "Somebody, drag Liu Yong out and behead him."

Little Shenyang almost laughed, and Liu Yong quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please listen to me."

Gan Long said, "Then explain to me why I am a horse and you are a donkey?"

Liu Yong began his performance: "Your Majesty, you are a horse, a good horse that is hard to find through the ages. You are tall and handsome, king on the grassland, and thousands of miles of Wan Li grassland are trampled under your feet. I am a donkey, because I am a hardworking Xiao Lv, and I contribute my strength according to the owner's wishes. Donkeys come from horses, submit to horses, and are horses' favorite. After riding a horse, horses and donkeys are worlds apart. "

Looking at Liu Yong's gushing, Qianlong stopped Liu Yong with a smile. The previous unhappiness has vanished, and there is another harmonious and meticulous joy between the monarch and the minister. On the other hand, Xiao Shenyang watched the opportunity of Liu Yong's downfall slip away again, which made him feel a little sorry. He thought there was plenty of time, but he didn't care much. The three of them continued to talk by mistake.

Of course, this story is not from official history, but from folklore. This story can be seen in some comments and cross talks, and there are many similar stories. For example, at the age of forty-five, there are other stories, saying that Ganlong always wanted to cure Ganlong's crime, but he couldn't find an opportunity, so Xiao Shenyang gave Ganlong an idea.

Seeing that Liu Yong's forty-fifth birthday is coming, Xiao Shenyang encourages Liu Yong to ask him how long he can live. Liu Yong asked on his birthday. Liu Yong wondered why the emperor clearly knew his age. There must be something hidden in it, so he returned carefully. He said, "Report to your Majesty, I wasted four ..."

Lu Yong stopped suddenly. He finally knew what was wrong. If he says he is 45 years old, then he is guilty of taboo. You know, the emperor has many taboos. The most direct taboo is the name of the emperor. Generally speaking, the world can't say the name of the emperor, nor can it use the words in the name of the emperor. Li Hong cannot be used or said. Of course, this is generally very direct, and everyone knows it, but there are also some obscure ones, which lie in paradox and are likely to find fault.

That's what Liu Yong thought. The emperor is the statue of the ninth five-year plan, so we can't say the ninth five-year plan. Generally, emperors don't care, but some people care when they are serious. If the emperor can find fault, it is even more difficult to say.

So Liu Yong used his quick wits and said, "I ... I was forty-four last year and forty-six next year."

Gan Long did not give up and continued to ask, "What about you this year?"

Liu Yong said, "Long live Tian Congmin, please commit suicide." At this time, Qianlong knew that he could not continue to talk, and this matter was exposed. Of course, these stories are folk stories and can't be true. As far as age is concerned, Emperor Qianlong was born in 17 1 1, Liu Yong was born in 17 19, and Xiao Shenyang was born in 1750.

There is a big gap in this age. Emperor Qianlong and Liu Yong are not people of the same era, and Emperor Qianlong is not a horse. When he was forty-five, it happened to be 1755. This year, Xiao Shenyang was only six years old, and Liu Yong also ushered in a turning point in his life. His father, Liu Tongxun, went to prison in October, and Liu Yong was implicated. Even though he was released later, he was demoted.

Although Liu Yong's official position is not high, it is even lower, and in the second year Liu Yong was released as a local official, who has been a local official for more than 20 years. Therefore, in 1755, it is impossible for Qianlong, Xiaoshenyang and Liuyong to be in the same frame.

However, when Liu Yong returned to Beijing from the local area to be an official, Shenyang, which was over 30 years old, had been favored by Qianlong and was in full swing. 178 1 year, Liu Yong also cooperated with Xiao Shenyang to investigate the fraud case of Shandong governor. Although Liu Yong is 3 1 year older than Xiao Shenyang, his official position is below Xiao Shenyang.

When Xiao Shenyang was in power, Liu Yong did not confront Xiao Shenyang. On the contrary, he didn't come clean. He often made mistakes when he was an official in Beijing. He is different from Liu Yong, who has achieved good results at local level, and even Gan Long is very dissatisfied with him. As for Liu Yong's highest position, that is to say, as a co-organizer or Gan Long, there is really no one to choose, and Liu Yong was awarded the right qualification.

Therefore, Liu Yong did not sympathize with Xiao Shenyang when he was an official, nor did he compete with him. In a series of film and television dramas and folklore, such as prime minister Liu, in real history, Liu's wit has never been beaten frequently. Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan are no match for Xiao Shenyang.

However, after the death of Qianlong, when Emperor Jiaqing took the small Shenyang as an operation, Liu Yong did participate in the investigation of the small Shenyang. Liu Yong, who is over 80 years old, changed his previous confusion and became resolute. After the death of Xiao Shenyang, Liu Yong seemed to be resurrected in officialdom, but he did something practical. Until/kloc-0 died in 805, no one expected that Liu Yong was 3 1 year older than Xiao Shenyang, but he died behind Xiao Shenyang. Liu Yong really lived for a long time, while Xiao Shenyang lived for a long time by himself. At this point, Liu Yong really won He Shen.

As for the stories in folklore, although they are far from the real history, they can be heard and seen as stories, but they cannot be taken seriously. It is doomed to be a mistake to learn about history from folklore and film and television dramas. After all, art is art and history can only be history.
