In the forty-seventh year of Qianlong (1782), in June, Liu Yong became the minister of the Ministry of Industry and was in charge of imperial academy affairs. Later, he took charge of imperial academy for many times and became the head of the highest institution of higher learning in China.
During his tenure in imperial academy, Liu Yong witnessed imperial academy's review ceremony and Lin Yong ceremony. According to the North Korean envoy who attended the ceremony in class, when Qianlong gave lectures in Lin Yong for fifty years, as many as three students attended the lecture ceremony, and everyone got money, which was unprecedented.
In Lin Yong, this lecture is about the University and the Book of Changes. Wu Mi-tai and Cai Xin, both college students who manage imperial academy affairs, talked about the so-called five-LUN Zhi Zhi in college, that is, the monarch stops at benevolence, the minister stops at respect, the son stops at filial piety, the father stops at kindness, and the Chinese stop at faith. The Book of Changes was explained by Luo Jishan and others who made a sensation in offering wine.
Lin Yong's ceremony coincided with the newly-built Biyong and early showers, which made Qianlong extremely excited.
The only thing that made Gan Long feel sorry was that when he offered tea to the ministers after the ceremony, the officials of the Ministry of Rites made a fuss and forgot to offer tea to Speaker Cai Xin and others, which made Gan Long dissatisfied.
In the summer of the fifty-third year of Qianlong, when imperial academy held the preliminary examination after having obtained the provincial examinations, he fed the students to the hall officials, and was impeached by the suggestion Zhu. Gan Long said in the instruction ZhuDeLin passbook:
I saw it. It was amazing. It is unreasonable for Zhu to participate in Huang Shouling's performance. If his participation is true, Huang Shouling's illicit money, whether full or not, should be sentenced.
Huang Shouling first took off the top belt and gave it to the guards of the Ministry of Justice. Today, Fu Kang 'an and Gao Dong were sent back to Beijing for a fair trial. However, Zhu's play is a rumor, but he didn't come up with any real evidence that Huang Shouling took bribes. It is related to cheating in the examination room, and the charges are quite different. It is also not convenient to kill people with what they have heard, which leads to the failure of accusations in the future. Fu Kang 'an and others immediately called the suggestion to the case and asked him to extort money from whom Huang Shouling passed the examination. If the censor can't point out the evidence, it is when the law falsely accuses him of sitting backwards. Besides Zou Bingtai and Nan on a business trip, there are also Liu Yong and Ji Shan in Beijing. Why did you hand over the examination to Huang Shouling, and ordered Liu Yong and Ji Shan to compete with each other, and Fu Kang 'an was investigated together after the trial.
As soon as Fu Kang 'an arrived in Beijing, he asked about Zhu Delin.
At this point, Zhu has been under pressure from all sides and refused to tell the truth. Until the end, it was said that his brother-in-law Guo Jian Gigi Lai Shouyu and Li Tinghu each gave Huang Shouling four taels of silver, and the editor added that there were fellow villagers Gong Jianchen Zi Chengzeng and Yang Chaozuo who tried their best to raise gifts, so there was a chance. After the situation was reflected to Qianlong, Qianlong was extremely dissatisfied with Zhu Delin's performance and accused him of saying:
Zhu, as an official, heard that there were disadvantages in the competition, so he should make a list of entries. I have sent a special envoy to examine the matter and sent a message to him, saying that the remonstrance should come clean and not be selfish, but it is not enough to say that Huang Shouling is guilty of a felony and will hate it. So I only quoted four people, including Yang Chaozuo. Jin Fang's discipline has been eliminated, but I am arbitrary, and the political punishment will be compromised, and I will never give in. If Zhu Neng points out Huang Shouling's misdeeds truthfully, I will reward him with justice. If it comes from the wind, then try to think about how wise I am, and where will everyone be willing to blame for the suggestion? If the examiner accuses someone of conspiracy, should he be severely punished? In the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan Province's remonstrance and personal attacks were the worst habits, and one or two people still refused to give in. If there is no evidence to advance and retreat like Zhu, it will be obvious in the bad habits of the Ming Dynasty and it will be self-contradictory. Today, Wen Shu came to pick up the driver. When I met him, I accidentally asked him. According to him, the family invited a training class for juren, which is Huang Shouling's notorious language. When he got the test paper, he said it was a public opinion, but he didn't know Zhu and Huang Shouling. I talked about it after I asked him, especially for no reason. Something to do with cheating in the examination room, right? And Zhu's hesitation in asking about fashion is particularly hateful! Zhu also ordered him to be relieved of his post and handed over to Fu Kang 'an and others. , and gave him a witness card, and then he had a strict trial. He must judge the truth and decide to play it fairly.
Immediately, Fu Kang 'an and others interrogated Huang Shouling. At first, Huang Shouling said: "Because of the strict regulations during the exam, taxi drivers who were not admitted complained a little, and their hypocrisy was unknown. In fact, Zhu's participation is groundless. " When Fu Kang 'an and others refuted Yang Chaozuo's offer of silver, Huang Shouling claimed that he was admitted by the article, did not know Yang Chaozuo and others, and did not receive their money. What's more, after the exam, the prime minister and the wine inspection department went to get it separately before they entered the market. They are only responsible for exams, and students are willing to feed each other! In this regard, Fu Kangan and others will naturally not believe it.
On September 16, witnesses such as Fu Kang 'an were arrested and questioned by Huang Shouling, and Huang Cai admitted to accepting money from Yang Chaozuo and others. Fu Kang 'an and others thought that Huang Shouling's confession was "still evasive", so while continuing to interrogate Huang Shouling, they also questioned Zhu about the origin of his theory of "no money, no money". Zhu listened to suggestion Cao Xibao's talk about Huang Shouling's bad reputation in the Ministry, which was difficult to deal with because there was no evidence, and Wang Niansun was a witness. Cao Xibao and Wang Niansun were questioned, saying that they were told by Zhu Xian. The two theories are obviously contradictory, so Cao Xibao and Wang Niansun, the last players of Fu Kang 'an, have also been released from bail pending trial.
Fu Kang 'an and others also checked the papers that Huang Shouling had read, and found that the papers that Shen Wei and monk Yuan took were very poor. Those who took the intermediate papers were sent to trial because they shouldn't have. After receiving the memorial from Fu Kang 'an and others, Qianlong was ordered to make further confirmation.
On September 18, Fu Kang 'an retried Huang Shouling and others, and learned that Huang Shouling * * * received a total of 632 taels of gifts and silver from 22 people including Fan Sanyuan (including Liu Yong's cousin). According to relevant witnesses, the plot is consistent and there is no cheating before the exam. Regarding the reason why Zhu Shen disintegrated Huang Shouling, Huang said that he studied in the library last year.
Therefore, Fu Kang 'an decided that although Huang Shouling was not blackmailing, he should let students and other people familiar with the industry accept it, and then accept the gift. When the examination regulations were revised, it was a shame. Afterwards, he was asked to accept the trial of the financial department and be responsible for the 35 boards. Students who pay bribes before the exam are exempted from investigation; Zhu joined Huang Shouling for a reason, but he didn't list the money. He just made a fuss and quoted many people as witnesses. Please fire him. Cao Xibao, Wang Niansun and others. , who is ignorant, you should hand it over to the Ministry for consultation; Liu Yong is in charge of imperial academy affairs, and Jishan is a wine festival in imperial academy. Where did Huang Shouling receive the gift of silver? Why didn't he know anything? And submit it to the Ministry for consideration.
After receiving the handling opinions drafted by Fu Kang 'an, Gan Long handled the relevant personnel, and the responsibility for Liu Yong was instructed by Gan Long:
Liu Yong is the prime minister's academician courtyard affairs, and Ji Mountain is a drink offering. When he is admitted, he should deal with it together. Why does Huang Shouling take the exam alone? It's really hard to blame. Liu Yong, Kyrgyzstan, Ministry of Justice.
It can be seen from this incident that there are indeed many problems in imperial academy. Although Liu Yong can be honest and self-disciplined, imperial academy's management is not strict, which is one of the reasons why Liu Tang was punished this time. There is a record in Qianfeng Chronicle that Qian Feng was trusted by Qianlong after exposing the case of Cathay Pacific extorting subordinates. "He is often called to tell the truth, so Taizu said to Liu Yong in imperial academy: Qian Nanyuan told the emperor about cheating in the examination room yesterday, so all students should be careful of themselves." Thus, Qian Feng cited the problems existing in the imperial academy exam in 48 years, and Liu Yong's style of managing imperial academy can also be seen.
