Li Wei was a very famous official during the Qing Dynasty and a loyal vassal during the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty. Li Wei lived through the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong. He was not valued during the Kangxi Emperor, but was reused during the Yongzheng Emperor period, and the highest official position was achieved, the governor of Zhejiang, the bingbu Shangshu, etc., and became a very prominent figure at that time.
Based on Li Wei's deeds as an official, his descendants adapted him into a TV series "Li Wei As an Official", which was very popular more than ten years ago. Li Wei in the TV series is not afraid of the powerful, and at the same time, he is clean and honest for the officials, which is a very typical representative of the official environment of the Qing Dynasty at that time. Li Wei's life is very clean.
When Li Wei was not an official, his family was already very rich. After becoming an official, Li Wei was a clean and honest official, and at the same time he was not afraid of the powerful in the imperial court. This was very rare at the time. The reason why Li Wei was able to become an official was entirely because of his family's wealth, and the Qing Dynasty wanted to fight with the Dzungars, and there was no military expenditure, so they had to sell the officials to raise funds.
It happened that at this time Li Wei bought the official. I have to say that Li Wei is still very lucky. It should be known that most of the officials sold in the Qing Dynasty were decorations, but Li Wei's officials were constantly promoted. After Li Wei was actually appointed as a foreign lang of the military department, in only three years, he was promoted to the official position of hubu shilang. Although the position is not high, but it has real power.
During this period, li wei was in the Kangxi Emperor, at this time Li Wei did not continue to be promoted, and by the time of the Yongzheng Emperor, his official position began to develop upwards. After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, Li Wei spent ten years from a five-pin household lang to a local governor, Bingbu Shangshu, and became a high-ranking official of Yipin.
At this time, Li Wei's position was prominent. The Yongzheng Emperor was the most diligent emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but his time was not good, and he had to deal with the mess left by the Kangxi Emperor. At that time, there were problems in various aspects such as the national treasury of the Qing Dynasty. At this time, the Yongzheng Emperor wanted to change many aspects of the Qing Dynasty.
In this way, Li Wei's role will be there, after all, such a change will offend many people. Those great talents in the Forest Courtyard who were full of poetry books were not enough, and at this time, Li Wei was favored by the Yongzheng Emperor. Li Wei played an important role in the reform of the Yongzheng Emperor, in other words, Li Wei offended many people at that time.
Li Wei had a smooth ride during the Yongzheng Emperor and received great care. Li Wei had five sons, his eldest son was Li Xingyuan, and in the martial arts examination, he obtained the status of a martial probing flower in the third place of the first class, after which he began to join the army. When Li Xingyuan was serving as the commander-in-chief, Li Wei's second son Li Xingju was awarded the post of prefect, and was also an official of the imperial court.
The other three also received official positions. However, when it comes to positions, there is no Li Xingyuan and Li Xingju who are prominent. Li Wei's other three sons all entered the career path, but their official positions were very low, basically in the history books. When it came to Li Wei's grandchildren, his grandchildren were also on the way to the throne, but at most they were seven petty officials, which basically would not be recorded in the annals of history.
