It turns out that when it comes to the important ministers of the Qianlong Dynasty, the first thing that comes to people's minds is He Shen, Ji Xiaolan and Liu Yong Liu Luoguo. In people's impressions, Ji Xiaolan and Liu Luoguo are both Heshen's number one mortal enemies, and they have been creating obstacles on Heshen's road.
Twenty or thirty years ago, a popular TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" was deeply loved by the audience, telling the story of Liu Luoguo and He Shen's battle of wits and courage.
Many people have the impression that Liu Luoguo is a hunchbacked little old man, although he is in a-for-tat confrontation with He Shen, his family is prominent, and he is a well-known rich man in the court.
There are even rumors that Liu Yong and He Shen have a very good personal relationship, this statement comes from wild history, and the authenticity needs to be verified. However, when Liu Yong's tomb was discovered, these rumors fell apart.
The real Liu Yong's life experience is completely different from what we are familiar with. This tortuous journey to find the tomb gave us a new understanding of Liu Yong. Speaking of archaeologists, they travel around the countryside all year round, exploring various monuments and tombs, and they are an important way for us to understand history.
An archaeological team set their sights on Liu Yong's mausoleum. According to the description of the Liu family's official eunuch background and wild history, they were full of expectations for the excavation of Liu Yong's tomb, hoping to find some precious cultural relics.
However, they underestimated the difficulties of the operation. After carefully studying a large number of materials and documents, they roughly determined the location of Liu Yong's tomb.
However, when they arrived at the scene, they found that they were surrounded by barren mountains and overgrown weeds, which did not look like there were any signs of a tomb at all.
They searched aimlessly for a long time, but the instruments in their hands showed no response. Luckily, at this time, they found a small village, so they went to ask for clues.
Archaeologists asked an elderly villager if there were any graves nearby, and the villagers recalled that there was a well-dressed mound not far from the village, but the tombstone was broken and it was impossible to determine who the tomb owner was.
After investigation, archaeologists found that the tomb belonged to Liu Yong's wife, Shan. According to ancient records, Liu Yong's tomb should be nearby. After several days of searching, the archaeological team finally locked down the approximate location of Liu Yong's tomb, but when they were about to enter the tomb, several villagers suddenly arrived and said that there was something strange in the tomb.
When they heard that there were officials buried in the tomb, they thought there would be treasures, so they wanted to enter the tomb before the archaeological team to see if they could get anything. But their shovels broke in front of the tomb, and not only did they fail to open the tomb, but they also felt a gust of wind that frightened them, and they quickly threw down their tools and fled.
After listening to their descriptions, the archaeological team members couldn't help but laugh and educate them to leave. It turned out that the so-called "wind from the ground" was because the tomb was built along an underground river, and the flow of the underground river drove the air flow, and the cold air in the tomb came out, forming a yin wind.
All this is just a natural phenomenon, and there is nothing mysterious about it. After solving the hiccup, the archaeologists entered the tomb and were surprised to find that everything inside was very different from what was recorded in the wild history.
The skeleton is huge, the eye sockets are deep, the leg bones are slender, and the calf bones alone are more than 70 centimeters long, and it is estimated that the owner of the skeleton was about 1.9 meters tall at that time, which is undoubtedly the case"Giants"。
After research by archaeological experts, it was found that Liu Yong's skeleton and vertebrae were straight, and there was no hunchback at all. This makes people's impression of Liu Yong have a great subversion, it turns out that he is not hunchbacked, but tall and burly.
Experts say that people's erroneous impression of Liu Yong is mainly influenced by wild history. According to wild history, when Liu Yong once reported to Emperor Qianlong, he was physically tired due to his busy work, and he looked a little rickety when walking, which was misunderstood as a hunchback.
The juniors are taller than the seniors, guess one thing. Liu Yong replied wittily, cleverly associating "generation" and "back", and guessed the answer "Luo Guo". From then on, as long as the two were alone, Emperor Qianlong would call him "Liu Luoguo".
However, some well-intentioned people spread this nickname widely, making "Luo Guo" a representative image of Liu Yong among the people, that is, the hunchbacked old man. However, for those familiar with history, this does not seem to correspond to the reality.
Because the Qing Dynasty paid great attention to image and appearance in the selection of **, the "body" ranked first among the four major requirements.
The Jinshi and people who participated in the selection not only required excellent character and learning, but also required dignified appearance to meet the high standards of the imperial court for the best image. Historically, Liu Yong, with his tall posture and upright appearance, became a model in the hearts of people at that time.
According to the "Qing Historical Manuscript", Liu Yong is a good official who is honest and honest, and his uprightness and strict adherence to principles have won the respect and love of the general public, and it is also in stark contrast to those corrupt people.
Therefore, Liu Yong's family's wealth was not obtained through illegal means, but because he won the trust and love of the people, and received a lot of sponsorship and support.
His insistence on justice and strict investigation of corruption** led to many people being imprisoned and resented. Liu Yong was greatly appreciated by the Qianlong and Jiaqing emperors, and these people could not stop him, so they began to find ways to tarnish his reputation.
They claimed that Liu Yong was born in a family of eunuchs and had a lot of money to discredit his official character. Ordinary people do not know the inside story of the imperial court, and will only blindly believe the words of others.
In the long run, these rumors are taken as facts. Some people also described it this way in the wild history, deepening people's misunderstanding of Liu Yong. The true situation of history is complicated and difficult to discern, but in this matter, the credibility of the wild history is really not high.
Although many wild histories are still worth referencing, in the case of Liu Yong, wild histories are really unreliable. If the archaeological team hadn't found Liu Yong's tomb, we would have been deceived for a long time.
