Introduction: You should have seen "Li Wei as an Official". The famous man in front of Yongzheng has been popular all the way up to now. The talented, illiterate and humorous Li Wei who was born in film and television dramas has won people's love, but also raised many questions: Is the real official Li Wei'an in history like this?

According to historical records, Li Wei did exist. His ancestral home is Tongshan, Jiangnan, which is now Xuzhou, Jiangsu. He was born in the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi and died in the third year of Qianlong. Li Wei is not a beggar, but comes from a well-off family. That's why he was able to spend money to donate his qualifications as a supervisor, avoid the proper path of the imperial examination, and enter the officialdom. Although Li Wei made a lot of jokes despite the burden of being illiterate, he really looked like an adjutant with his sharp mind and careful thinking.

1. "Make up for the deficit in darkness"

Not long after Yongzheng came to the throne, he discovered that various provinces owed a large amount of money and grain, and ordered a thorough investigation. When provincial officials heard the news, they panicked. The then governor of Zhejiang, Li _, heard about this and took the initiative to go to the court. Since the imperial envoy may have a lot of inconvenience when he first arrives, I hope you can help him deal with the inventory. After Yongzheng saw Li Wei's memorial, he agreed with his suggestion and approved him to assist Peng Weixin, the imperial minister sent to Zhejiang, in the investigation work.

Then, Li _ used his birthday as an excuse to order officials from various states and counties to come quickly to congratulate him. During the birthday party, he called a bunch of people into the secret room and asked each of them to report truthfully. One's own debt means that one has a way to solve it. They had long been frightened out of their minds by the imperial envoy. After hearing what Li Wei said, they all confessed truthfully and registered them under Li Wei's name.

Moreover, Peng Weixin, the imperial minister, was still the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs at the time, and he was cautious in handling affairs. Prior to this, a bunch of corrupt officials had been found in various provinces south of the Yangtze River, and their arrogance was so arrogant that no one dared to stop them. Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Zhejiang, he was intimidated by Li Wei's order to assist in the investigation, and had to discuss with Li Wei how to handle the investigation. When it came to the joint inventory, Li Wei was afraid of disputes and pretended to be embarrassed, not knowing what to do. Forcing Peng Weixin to propose a county inventory plan, this is exactly what Li _ wanted.

At the moment, Li asked his entourage to write the names of the counties in Zhejiang on paper, crumpled it into a ball, and drew lots with Peng Weixin. Could Peng Weixin have expected that the paper ball had been secretly tampered with? Almost all the states and counties with debt problems are in Li Wei's hands, while Peng Wei's new ones are just some states and counties with minor problems.

In this way, Peng Weixin’s careful investigation will be of no avail. In Li Wei's case, this is called an inventory, but it is actually urging states and counties to fill vacancies. After all the inventory work was completed, Li Wei pretended to be anxious and asked Peng Weixin: "Are there any outstanding debts in various places?" Of course, he got an affirmative answer: "No." Li Wei pretended to be surprised and said happily at the same time. There is no county management.

Once the matter was reported, Yongzheng was overjoyed. Li _ was named Taibao Prince and received a great reward. As a result, officials at all levels in Zhejiang were promoted and made fortunes. After this incident, everyone in Li Wei admired him with admiration. This illiterate guy was also impressed.

2. "Open hands and open hands"

As an official, Li_ also has an upright and stubborn side. Unfavorable things in officialdom are like grains of sand in the eyes and cannot be ignored. He not only submitted the impeachment documents to Emperor Yongzheng, but also made a copy as soon as possible and gave it to the officials he impeached. He openly declared war, criticized Chen Qi's evil deeds, and hit the point where it hurt. The officials impeached by Li _ hated him so much that they could not move him.

Tian Wenjing, who was an official with Li_, was narrow-minded, ashamed of Li_'s favor, and jealous. He secretly told Yongzheng that Li Wei was wrong. Yongzheng knew that Li_ was a man, and he did not agree with Tian Wenjing's provocation. Tian Wenjing failed to do anything, b

How did Li_ become an official? The above are just the comments of posterity. So, how did the real Li _ become an official during the Yongzheng period? I'm afraid it can only be fully understood in the context of past history.
