Liu Tongxun, who had been a relative for nearly twenty years, became the minister of the emperor Qianlong's arms. He worked hard all his life and died suddenly at the age of seventy-five. Liu Tongxun is an upright and clean minister, outstanding in politics and having both ability and political integrity. Emperor Qianlong commented on Liu Tongxun: "He is sensitive to things, but he is strong in nature. People who go in have a sense of selflessness, and those who leave are safe. Get the wind of the ancient ministers, and don't waste this life. "
In the second year of Yongzheng, Liu Tongxun was admitted as a scholar, and Jishi Shu was elected as the editor. Throughout the Yongzheng dynasty, Liu Tongxun remained unknown until after Qianlong ascended the throne, he was promoted to a bachelor's degree in cabinet, and his career began to move towards the fast lane.
In the second year of Qianlong, Liu Tongxun, who studied water conservancy law, was promoted to assistant minister of punishments and deputy ministerial level; After six years of Qianlong's reign, he was immediately appointed as the left capital suggestion of Duchayuan and entered the ranks of ministerial level; In the seventeenth year of Qianlong, he joined the cabinet in the Ministry of War and entered the political core circle of Qianlong Dynasty.
So, what did Liu Tongxun do? So that Emperor Qianlong cried because of his death?
Liu Tongxun is an upright official and a model for scholars.
Corruption was serious in the Qing dynasty, and officials were fattened one by one. In fact, officials in the Qing Dynasty were treated much better than Daming. In addition to high salary, there are many hidden rules of officialdom by default, such as burning silver. However, people's desires are endless, and the high welfare of the Qing Dynasty still failed to stop the corruption of officials.
Liu Tongxun is different. He is an honest official and has no savings all his life. After his death, Emperor Qianlong personally came to pay his respects, only to find that Liu Tongxun's house had a low lintel and simple furnishings, which didn't look like a prime minister's house at all.
It is also his honest and clean style for decades, which has kept him noble. Corruption in the Manchu Dynasty, starting from the most prosperous Qianlong Dynasty, became more and more out of control, forming an irresistible bad atmosphere and ruining the literati atmosphere.
Even a pillar of the country like Zhang did not get rid of the pattern of abusing power for personal gain in his later years!
Liu Tongxun is straightforward and can be called a corrupt official lumberjack.
Impeachment of Zhang and He Nei Gong is a classic of Liu Tongxun. In his later years, Zhang enriched his family through family marriage. For a time, public opinion was directed at Zhang and criticized his family for recommending each other under his protection. Ne Qin is very overbearing. As long as his orders are reasonable or unreasonable, all subordinates are required to follow them.
Liu Tongxun suggested that Zhang should not be promoted and reused for three years, and severely criticized his ex-wife!
Zhang He's back office is a loyal minister at Zaifu level. Once a veteran, Liu Tongxun is a rising star in politics at best. Just entering the ministerial level, with little experience, he dared to impeach the imperial prime minister directly, with sharp words and no scruples.
Gan Long chose to support Liu Tongxun, and he directly removed Zhang and his back office! Although Liu Tongxun was disgusted with what they had done, I'm afraid it was not his will, nor did he dare to kill them with a stick. It is estimated that it has a lot to do with Emperor Qianlong's desire to clean the former ministers and establish his own team.
But in any case, with the help of Ganlong, Liu Tongxun has become an immediate "brand". Since then, corrupt officials have been talking about Liu Tongxun's name!
As Zaifu, Liu Tongxun did not stick to his post in Beijing. Whenever there is an incurable disease, Qianlong sends him to solve it. Wherever Liu Tongxun went, he became a lumberjack of corrupt officials, falling down one by one!
Liu Tongxun is outstanding in politics and can be called a minister of a country.
The most commendable thing is that Liu Tongxun is not a bookworm who sticks to moral preaching. The important thing is that he is competent.
The Draft of the History of Qing Dynasty said that Liu Tongxun "doubted his decision and was honored as the' true prime minister' by Qianlong". The officials selected by the imperial examination system with the four books and five classics have a great drawback, that is, many officials can say that they are incompetent, "high scores and low abilities" and turn a blind eye to a set of theories in practical work.
For example, in Liu Tongxun, he can always find man-made disasters behind natural disasters-official inaction and even corruption! These local officials are very cunning. They usually commit crimes in gangs, forming a complex interest chain, and it is generally difficult for outsiders to find loopholes. Regulatory officials are easily confused, often treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, or even making a mess.
We found that Liu Tongxun was the governor of grain transportation for eleven years, and everywhere he went, he was always plagued by natural and man-made disasters. The most typical case is the Yellow River burst in Xiangfu, Henan. After Liu Tongxun arrived, local officials complained that the grain and grass for river regulation could not be harvested, which led to the delay of the project.
Liu Tongxun is very clever: grain and grass are not rare things, and the court also has funds. Why can't you get it? He visited incognito, but he saw something different. Somewhere, hundreds of carts of hay were gathered, and the grass delivery people were crying. Liu Tongxun inquired privately that the officials who collected grass had asked them for bribes, otherwise they wouldn't.
Ordinary people have worked hard to send grass all the way, and if they pay bribes, there will be little left. If they don't pay bribes and can't sell them, they will lose both ends! These officials are so hateful that they have caught the psychology of ordinary people and stuck their necks!
Liu Tongxun visited privately and found out the origin. Tie people up when you get back to the yamen!
His keenness and personal investigation spirit are rare. In the seventeenth year of Qianlong, Liu Tongxun, who is 55 years old, personally traveled all over Tianshan Mountain and Kashi Lake with a survey team in order to compile a map of the western regions.
Liu Tongxun has been an official for fifty years and has been in charge of water conservancy for more than ten years. He almost became the "Dayu" of the Qing Dynasty, because he could really solve problems. No matter how complicated the situation is, when he arrives, he can always find the root cause and always prescribe the right medicine.
This is what makes Liu Tongxun awesome. He is not only a professional with outstanding ability, but also an upright person who is not afraid of powerful people and has an upright personal style. Together, these conditions enable him to petition for the people and serve the country faithfully without external interference!
