The Voyage Of Emperor Chien Lung
In 1762 A.D., during the 27th year of reign of Chien Lung, the emperor and two of his officials, Lord Kuo Liu-an (Chiang Nan) and the Scholar Liu Yun (Li Kun) made a second visit to the Southern Province of Yang Chow.The Emperor liked his two followers and would often ask them questions, especially to Liu Yun. Because the Emperor lost a talent contest to Liu Yun six years ago, Liu earned the title “Snail” and received an increase of twenty thousand small silvers into his annual emoluments. In Yang Chow, when Kuo advised the Emperor to come up with a difficult question to ask Liu, the Emperor challenges Liu to ask the calligrapher Cheng Pen-kiu, an anti-government supporter, to paint a picture for the Emperor.Using his talents, Liu was fortunately able to solve the problem without any difficulty. Furthermore, Liu conversed with Cheng about Kuo and Emperor Chien Lung knowing that they were listening in the next room but there was nothing they could do about their conversation.On one occasion, the Emperor and Kuo met fortuneteller Fan in the street. The fortune-teller immediately recognizes Chien Lung as the Emperor, who then tells Fan to follow him. Unluckily, Fan dies during a fight in a local restaurant.On another occasion, there was a gambling game called “Far Wui,” and the Emperor knew that no matter how hard anyone played “Far Wui,” no one could ever win. He therefore gave Liu three days to figure out how to win at “Far Wui.” By hook or by crook, Liu succeeded and won precious animal fur. However, the Emperor ordered Liu to wear it, which made Liu annoyed because it was the hottest time of the year.1978 | |
