In the TV series "Yu Chenglong" directed by Wu Ziniu and starring Cheng Tai, with Yu Chenglong's official experience as the main line, the story of his decision-making, * * * * for the people, eliminating pesticides for the people and benefiting the people in his official career is told. Is the real Yu Chenglong in history the kind of good official who is dedicated to the people in TV series?
Yu Chenglong in history is indeed famous for its incorruptibility and ability. He evaluated his achievements three times and was praised by Emperor Kangxi: "Honest officials are the first, and honest officials are the best in the world".
Yu Chenglong was born in the late Ming Dynasty. He is from Yongning, Shanxi, and his name is Beiming and Yushan. Is the second child in the family, and his mother Tian died shortly after he was born. After his father married his wife, Yu Chenglong lived in harmony with his stepmother.
In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, he took part in the provincial examination and accused Chen of cheating in the imperial examination. Therefore, he failed to enter the official list, was included in the official list, and can still take the exam. After the exam, Yu Chenglong refused to be an official because of the decadent rule, so he returned to his hometown on the grounds that his father was ill.
In the early period of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, Yu Chenglong also took part in the imperial examination. But the first imperial examination failed. At that time, Yu Chenglong was thirty-five years old, and the burden of his family fell on his shoulders, which made him unable to concentrate on his studies, so he temporarily gave up the imperial examination.
At that time, Yu Chenglong's eldest brother died, and his father was ill and needed soup. Although his mother is in good health, she is already in her twilight years. There are old people and young people in the world, and all families are counting on Yu Chenglong to support their families. So I live in poverty and can't concentrate on my studies.
After his father's death, the period of filial piety expired. In the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, Yu Chenglong was able to continue studying in imperial academy and prepare to become an official. Also in this year, Yu Chenglong was appointed as the county magistrate of Luocheng County. In order to "never have enough to eat and never be ungrateful", Yu Chenglong bid farewell to his wife and came to Luocheng, a famous poverty-stricken county, and began his political career.
Luocheng County is the starting point of Yu Chenglong, and it is also the most important embodiment of his being pragmatic and honest for the people. During his tenure as county magistrate here, Yu Chenglong gave everything to the people and dedicated himself to death.
There were only six families in Luocheng county at that time, and the land was barren. Even the county government has three shabby huts. Yu Chenglong can only live in Guandi Temple and handle affairs here.
The first two county magistrates in Luocheng died and fled. When Yu Chenglong arrived here, the unknown servant who followed him also died and ran away. Yu Chenglong fell ill soon after he arrived here, but he still kept on working.
In order to attract foreign population to settle down and resume agricultural production, it was ordered to effectively solve the problems encountered in the settlement and reclamation of new residents.
Entering the wasteland is unruly, and Luocheng County is poor and backward, which is naturally out of control. Therefore, in Luocheng County, besides poverty, high crime rate was also the main problem at that time. Yu Chenglong, who knew that severe punishment was used in troubled times, established Garbo, severely punished the arrested criminals and "banned thieves" with great fanfare.
At that time, Lingxian often came to harass, and scholar Yu Chenglong summoned strong men to train the militia. Finally, regardless of his own life safety, he decided to lead troops to kill the "neighbor thief" himself. Yu Chenglong's determination was so great that "neighbors" panicked and finally took the initiative to make peace. Therefore, Yu Chenglong protected the peace in Luocheng County.
Under Jackie Chan's rule, Luocheng County gradually recovered its vitality and became rich, so Yu Chenglong was appreciated by oversight. Since then, as an official in various places, Yu Chenglong has always insisted on his own style in Luocheng County. Work for the people, be selfless, and seek benefits for the people.
He has been an honest official all his life. After his death, there was only one set of official clothes in the wooden box, and nothing was left. The Qing court went to posthumous title as "Qingrui". It is because of his honesty and integrity that he is loved by the people. Just like in the TV series, when he returned to his original post, people gathered around him, caring about his life like relatives and telling him something about his parents. ?
