" If the prison is compared to a zoo, the tourists standing outside the cage at this moment are undoubtedly of poor quality, which makes the beast surnamed Qin being watched in the cage feel very bad.
Qin Kan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the old man in rich clothes quietly.
The light in the prison was dim, but Qin Kan could still see his face clearly. He had a square face and a calm demeanor, stroking his gray beard and smiling calmly and kindly.
After looking at him for a long time, Qin Kan finally determined that he really didn¡¯t recognize the old man.
The old man laughed and said, "My name is Liu Ji. I wonder if my little friend has ever heard of it?"
Qin Kan's heart skipped a beat.
Liu Ji and Liu Mianmian, a wonderful figure in the Chenghua and Hongzhi dynasties, met him in prison today. Unfortunately, Qin Kan was the target of prison visits. I really want to change with him
Liu Ji was a Jinshi during the Zhengtong period. When it comes to academics, Liu Ji is still very good. He has served as a scholar, editor of the Hanlin Academy, lecturer in the East Palace, and even a banquet official. His promotion in the officialdom has been very smooth. After completing the Hanlin Academy, he came out of the Imperial Academy with all his qualifications, and the Ming Dynasty made a brilliant debut. He was promoted to Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Bachelor of Wenyuange, until Hongzhi ascended the throne, and until the fifth year of Hongzhi, he served as the cabinet for five consecutive years. First assistant. For a time, it can be said that he was extremely powerful and had a lot of party members.
The reason why Liu Ji is said to be weird is because of his shame.
Qin Kan thinks he is very thick-skinned, but compared with Liu Ji, Qin Kan is simply an innocent little virgin who is easily shy and blushes.
Liu Ji's official career was almost scolded by officials and censors all the way. He was a vegetarian and good at self-interest. He was the kind of extremely selfish person who would do whatever it takes to get you to your death. Because of these shortcomings, Liu Ji was often criticized. He was scolded so badly by the officials. According to the bad temper of the officials, it is not possible to rule out the possibility of being beaten in the Golden Palace. However, what is admirable is that Mr. Liu still went his own way. He refused to let others scold him. Others have to do what they should do. I do it, so I am here. While listening to the officials' jumping and cursing, I am selfish and greedy for money. I push back things that are not beneficial and snatch things that are beneficial.
Finally, the officials got tired of scolding and became chilled, because the more they scolded this guy, the higher the official rose, and finally he was promoted to the chief minister of the cabinet, a very popular minister. It must be said that he was the only official in the history of the Ming Dynasty. There was such a ruthless chief minister, so people had to give him the nickname "Liu Mianhua" because Mianhua was not afraid of impeachment.
At that time, the cabinet and the court were in a state of chaos. The other two cabinet scholars, Wan An and Liu Yi, were not good people. The upper beams were not straight and the lower beams were crooked. Therefore, people at that time called the court "three pavilions made of paper and six ministers made of clay." ".
How thick-skinned is Liu Ji?
Anyone with a little bit of self-respect would either retaliate or retreat in shame when someone scolds him, but Liu Ji was different. He held on to his official position and would rather die than say goodbye. It was commonplace for officials to scold him, and he had long regarded it as such. Because of this, in the fifth year of Hongzhi's reign, Emperor Hongzhi finally began to dislike him, so he sent his eunuchs to his home and hinted at him several times in subtle ways, such as whether he should retire from official service. Liu Ji was a strange flower. He pretended to be confused and couldn't understand the elegance of the eunuch's music, so he sent the eunuch away in anger several times.
Faced with such a thick-skinned chief minister, Emperor Hongzhi learned the hard way and decided not to play tricks with him anymore. He simply ordered the eunuch Huaien to go to Liu Ji's house in person, pointed at his nose and told him directly, Your Majesty, look. You are no longer pleasing to the eye. If you want to die in peace, you should just obediently submit the memorial and retire, otherwise the consequences will be serious. Liu Ji stayed for a long time, and then with an expression more sad than his dead father, he reluctantly submitted the memorial to retire.
Generally, when dealing with memorials to the elderly, the emperor had to ask three times and stay with him three times. He would give him enough face and add a title before finally approving it with seeming reluctance. However, Emperor Hongzhi handled Liu Ji's memorials in a special way. As if he was afraid that Liu Ji would regret it, Huaien sent the memorial to the palace in a hurry. Emperor Hongzhi stood up in his robes at starry night, and his pen was written quickly and accurately without saying a word. The king and his ministers were in such a hurry that it was a good talk for a while in the court.
Liu Ji became an official in the fifth year of Hongzhi, and Liu Ji was never appointed again. However, after all, Liu Ji had been in the court all his life, and had served as the Minister of Rites and even the chief minister of the cabinet. When the three academicians Xie and Li met Liu Ji, they all had to bow their hands as a courtesy and call him a senior.

There was a great scholar who was once very famous and a highly respected official, and the other was in jail and was dismissed from office. Qin Kan didn't even think that there would be any interaction between him and Liu Ji.After all these years, have I ever argued with them face to face? It's my virtue not to care, but you can't scold me in vain. I have to pay some price to make up for the loss of face, which is called balance. "
Qin Kan was stunned for a long time and was speechless. It turned out that in Liu Ji's eyes, being an official for so many years was just a job where he was willing to be scolded and get paid confidently
