Liu Tongxun was born in Shaanxi. He was born in a good family. At that time, his father was a scholar. Everyone in the family likes reading. Liu Tongxun lived in such a scholarly family, so he received a good education.
Liu Tongxun began to be an official after he was admitted to Jinshi. According to historical records, he has been an official for many years, never accepted any bribes and lived a poor life. After Liu Tongxun was promoted to a bachelor's degree in cabinet, he went to Zhejiang to study flood control. Later, due to the death of his mother, he resigned and went home to do his filial piety. It can be seen from this that Liu Tongxun is a great dutiful son.
Two years later, Liu Tongxun was recalled by Qianlong to the imperial court to continue to be an official. This time, Zuodu Shi Yu is responsible for supervising the words and deeds of officials. At this stage, Liu Tongxun showed the character of speaking out and making suggestions.
Liu Tongxun found that Prime Minister Zhang had misbehaved, so he wrote to suggest. Generally speaking, Shangshu was a powerful minister in the three dynasties. Because of his high prestige, some officials will pay close attention to his consistent attitude. Liu Tongxun handed these real letters to Zhang, and warned Shangshu to restrain his behavior in time.
Liu Tongxun's suggestion made Gan Long find that Liu Tongxun is a good material for being an official. Not only did he dare to make suggestions, but he also did it properly. Because he had studied flood control before, when there was a flood in Shandong, Qianlong sent Liu Tongxun to take care of it. Because I studied governance methods before, this task was successfully completed.
Liu Tongxun is a rare official in history, and he has his own way of being an official in officialdom. He thought of the people all his life, did not accept bribes, and dared to speak out against Gan Long when encountering unreasonable regulations. I think it's very lucky for Qianlong to have such courtiers in Qing Dynasty, and it's also very lucky for Liu Tongxun to meet such a wise gentleman.
