During his official career

In 1679, 50 year old Li Chengzhong was recommended by the governor of Shandong Province to take part in the "erudite Hongci" examination in Beijing. At the beginning of March, Li Chengzhong played a piece of Xuanji Yuheng Fu, 20 rhymes of shenggeng poetry, a tribute, etc. he was specially awarded the title of "Hanlin academy review" and served as a compiler of Ming history. According to the annals of Zhucheng County written by Qianlong of Qing Dynasty, "during the Wu Dynasty (the 17th year of Kangxi), a great scholar was appointed. Bagong, Li Chengzhong, and Wang Yue, the former magistrate of Xining County, were elected. In March of the spring of the 18th year of Kangxi (the 18th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi), bingshen tried erudite scholars. Li Chengzhong took 16 second-class candidates and was awarded the title of "review." In the history of Zhucheng imperial examination, only in Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were 125 scholars, and Li Chengzhong was the only one in Shandong.

Li Chengzhong worked in Hanlin Academy for 13 years. During that time, he was called to Yingtai and ordered to write Bai Lian's poems. Chengzhong was praised by Emperor Kangxi and "bestowed on silk". In 1685, Chengzhong and others tried Baohe hall again, and several people would be removed, but Chengzhong still remained in office. The next year, when he was transferred to the emperor, someone slandered him. Fortunately, Xu Lizhai, a good friend of Chengzhong, showed his concern to the emperor. In the autumn of this year, with the recommendation of Prime Minister Liang Yuli (Liang Qingbiao), Cheng Zhongsheng "right Chunfang, right zhongyun and editor of Hanlin academy". Soon he was granted Chengde Lang as the editor of "Dian Xun". In 1687, he was promoted to minister and then transferred to minister.

In 1690, at the age of 61, Li Chengzhong was appointed to take Yunnan provincial examination. Honest but corrupt. From the capital to Yunnan, Chengzhong wrote five volumes of diaries of traveling in Yunnan, which were full of interest and poetry. Li Cheng was once in trouble of offering bribes in Yunnan provincial examination. One day at noon, Chengzhong came to the Shili Changting in dianbei county. Some scholars came up to meet the imperial envoy and carried a food box. Cheng Zhong thinks it's the food he sent. He asks people to open the food box while thanking him. Unexpectedly, the contents in the box were not food, but white silver, about three thousand taels. Cheng Zhong burst into a rage, scolded: "dare to pollute me with this!" He ordered the briber to be tied up by the local county government for trial. He was so angry that he didn't eat lunch and left the county in a hurry.

Li Chengzhong came to Yunnan governor's Yamen to hold a scientific examination meeting, formulate scientific examination rules, select invigilators, strictly enforce the discipline of scientific examination, rectify the trend of cheating in scientific examination, and select a number of excellent talents for the country. At that time, the Imperial Academy reviewed Zhu Zhu (Zhu YIZUN) meeting Xiushui in the capital. Li Youshan said, "you were a supervisor of Yunnan in Xie min's tent for three years. How many talented students were there during that time? I will see how many people there are in the fishing village. " Among the 22 selected by Li Youshan, 18 selected by Li Chengzhong are honest and virtuous. Zhu Zhu was very happy. He held a banquet to congratulate Li Chengzhong on his justice in law enforcement and his insight.

Li Chengzhong successfully completed the task of Yunnan provincial examination, returned to Beijing, devoted himself to reading and became angry. "In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, those who were high forced the Han and Wei dynasties." Chen Yueyan, the Prime Minister of the dynasty, and Ruan Ting, the king of Si Nong (Wang Shizhen, No. Ruan ting) were all very well known. At this time, Li Chengzhong was deeply favored by the emperor.

In 1691, Chengzhong was named Beizhi (Beijing) to study politics. Some envious people maliciously slandered the emperor. Chengzhong changed the tune to Cao, and gave him a concubine to take charge of the affairs of the prince's palace. At that time, Chengzhong was appointed by the Imperial College and advised to stay. Chengzhong said, "the trouble in the world is nothing more than the lack of honesty and shame of the literati. Although my younger brother is not talented, how can he drive away the smelly flies and not go away? " So he didn't go, but returned with his clothes.

At that time, Chengzhong's parents died early, and his three brothers also died. His eldest son, Li you, died in Beijing. There was no one under his knees. He was very sad. He knew that he was upright and upright, and was not suitable for officialdom competition. So he refused to be an official. He resigned in May of 1694, when he was 66 years old. So far, Chengzhong has been in the field of fame for 15 years.

Life in old age

Back home, Chengzhong lives in a cottage in the west of the city.
