During the Qianlong period, Prime Minister Liu Yong was called "Liu Luoguo" because of his hunchback. However, he became a model for a generation of upright officials with his character of not flattering the powerful and being able to distinguish between loyal and traitors.
He conducts private interviews incognito to resolve grievances, angrily kills corrupt officials to protect the people, fights wits with Heshen, and is tough with Cathay. He uses his extraordinary wit to dismantle the court's traps, and protects the people of the world with his innocent heart. Every case has an edge of justice, and every plot shows the character of an upright official.
This book is a classic model of public case novels in the Qing Dynasty. The core chapter of the "Liu Gong Case" series breaks away from a single case-solving narrative and integrates the integrity of upright officials with court games and street fireworks. It not only retains the sense of suspense and justice of traditional public case novels, but also creates a three-dimensional and vivid image of Liu Yong with simple and vivid pen and ink.
Different from works that deliberately pursue novels, this book uses historical facts as the background and legends as embellishments, making each case both ornamental and ideological. It can not only satisfy readers' expectations for upright officials to judge cases, but also make people feel the unique charm of traditional literature and upright official culture.
Beautiful books.
