Gan Long said, I am 45 years old and I am a horse. Liu Yong said that we are the same age and I am a donkey. What did Liu Yong say to make Ganlong happy?

Liu Yong is a very talented person. He works under Qianlong, and Qianlong appreciates him. Ganlong said I was a horse at the age of 45. Liu Yong replied that we are the same age, and I am a donkey, but there are no donkeys in the zodiac. So Qianlong was a little angry and asked him, I am the same age as a horse. How can you be a donkey? Liu Yong replied that the emperor is a horse. As a courtier, how can he belong to the emperor?

Liu Yong was a courtier greatly appreciated by Emperor Qianlong. Because Liu Yong is clever, humorous and tactful, Emperor Qianlong usually likes to talk and laugh with him, bicker with him, and sometimes deliberately tease him. Once, when Emperor Qianlong went to court, Xiao Shenyang wanted to tease Liu Yong, so he gave Emperor Qianlong a bad idea, saying that Lord Liu Yong wanted to see if he was really so clever or just a hollow reputation.

So Emperor Qianlong asked Liu Yong, "I am forty-five years old and I am a horse. What about you? " Liu Yong replied, I am also 45 years old. I am an asshole. Emperor Qianlong was curious and pretended to be angry. He said, bold Liu Yong, how dare you lie to me? Why are there donkeys in the zodiac? Are you lying to a silly boy? This is a crime of deceiving the king. We are the same age, and I am a horse. How can you be a donkey?

A companion is like a tiger, if you are not clever in front of the emperor. Liuyong immediately began to think at high speed in his mind. He had to think of a cautious answer, and then he had an idea. He replied to the emperor, I dare not. The emperor is a horse, and I am a courtier. How can I belong to you? Then I have to be a donkey. Horses are dragons, kings, donkeys are cows and ministers. I am willing to stand by the emperor forever and let him command me. If the emperor thinks this is not good, he will give me one to honor my ancestors.

Emperor Qianlong heard Liu Yong's answer and laughed happily. He was still thinking, this Liu Yong is really cunning. Instead of succeeding in teasing, he was defeated by an army.
