Liu Yong was born in an official family, and his father was a famous Liu Tongxun. He inherited his father's resolute action, sneered at the corruption in officialdom, and decided to rectify the social atmosphere from himself and give the people a good social environment. At that time, Xiao Shenyang, a big corrupt official, was in charge of financial power and official power. He held all his official career in his own hands, so officials had to listen to Xiao Shenyang. After understanding small Shenyang's greed for money, officials sent gold, silver, jewels and rare treasures in succession, in order to promote and make a fortune and reduce the difficulties of small Shenyang. Liu Yong was never afraid of the arrogance of Xiao Shenyang. He went to Shandong alone in private, found out the money for corruption and disaster relief in small Shenyang, and reported it to the court, eliminating the partisans in small Shenyang and dealing a heavy blow to corruption in small Shenyang. Not only that, Liu Yong is still a talent. I like inscriptions, poems and calligraphy. His calligraphy attainments are very high, and he is called "Prime Minister of Thick Ink" by later generations.
Liu Yong is a man who is not afraid of power and does not offend the emperor Liu Yong once spoke out in court and offended Gan Long, who became angry from embarrassment, but came up with a way to punish Liu Yong. Life and death are written on two pieces of paper. If you draw lots, you will be born. If you catch them, you will die. In fact, Liu Yong had long guessed that the word "death" was written on two pieces of paper, so he had a brainwave and swallowed one of them directly. When the rest of the paper was opened, it was "death", so Liu Yong narrowly escaped.
Because of his honesty and efficiency, Liu Yong was highly valued by Qianlong. Later, he was appointed as prime minister and was given to Prince Taibao after his death.
