Luo Guo connotation joke

There was a prime minister named Liu in Qing Dynasty, but Liu was not a hunchback in history. Actually, Qianlong didn't give him this name. The origin of this nickname is a joke of Jiaqing, the son of Qianlong.

In China's feudal society, the imperial court chose talents and appointed people. If you want to be an official in North Korea, then you must have good facial features. People who are ugly or disabled can't even take part in scientific research, which is the most basic condition. If Liu Yong is really hunchbacked, it is impossible for him to take the imperial examination.

Liu Yong was an Anhui native, and his father was Liu Tongxun, a very famous minister in Qianlong period. Liu Yong studied hard since he was a child, and soon he was admitted to the second Jinshi of Dimethyl. However, due to his father Liu Tongxun's dereliction of duty at work, Liu Yong was implicated and dismissed. He has been a local official in other places for more than 20 years. During his release, Liu Yong was very diligent and loving the people, honest, loved by many people and made outstanding achievements.

It was not until the forty-seventh year of Qianlong that Liu Yongcai was transferred to Beijing at the suggestion of Zuo DuDu, but at that time, Xiao Shenyang was already the first minister of Qianlong, which was unparalleled. During this period, Liu Yong did not go head-to-head with Xiao Shenyang as in the TV series. Instead, he became silent and avoided the edge of small Shenyang. And Liu Yong's acting skills at this time are completely different from those when he was in the place. I have been scolded by Gan Long many times for slack in government affairs.

It was not until Jiaqing's superior began to investigate the criminal evidence of Xiao Shenyang that Liu Yong showed his strong and pragmatic side in his character. He led people to find out more than 20 pieces of criminal evidence of Xiao Shenyang, and Jiaqing executed Xiao Shenyang on this basis. At this time, Liu Yong is over 80 years old, and hunchback is inevitable. Jiaqing therefore gave him a nickname Liu, and this nickname was handed down.

Liu Yong later died in Beijing at the age of 85. After his death, he was named Prince of Taibao by Jiaqing. Liu Yong's life was basically an upright and good official, and the short avoidance in the last years of Qianlong was probably just a political strategy. After all, no one dared to provoke small Shenyang at that time.
