Li Youjun's introduction

Li Youjun (1686- 1738), a native of Tongshan (Xuzhou), Jiangsu Province, was given the title of Governor of Zhili by Kangxi, the minister of punishments (together with E Ertai and Tian Wenjing) during the Yongzheng period. In the fourth year of Yongzheng (1726), Chasiting, a bachelor of cabinet, assistant minister of rites and Jiangxi examiner, took an examination on the proposition of "Wei Minzhi" in The Book of Songs. Unexpectedly, the Qing court lied about the word "Wei Zhi", which meant disrespect for the word "Yongzheng", and they were arrested and imprisoned one by one. Soon he died in prison, slaughtered the body and implicated his relatives.
