Ji Xiaolan didn't get reuse all his life, because Emperor Qianlong thought he was "ugly"?

Ji Xiaolan was "sad" because of his evaluation by Qianlong: "I am good at your literature, so I only seek to promote the superior while reserving the inferior. Why talk about state affairs! " I really don't know Ji Xiaolan's expression and mentality when he heard this sentence.

The background of Gan Long's remarks is this: Yin Zhuangtu, a bachelor of cabinet, accused Chen of graft and said that the governor was "notorious and lax in official management". However, in his later years, Qianlong was intoxicated with the strange circle of self-beautification and could no longer listen to advice. Have it both ways, the ministers, proposed to cut off Yin Zhuang's head. Yin Zhuang-tu's father Yin was a scholar in the same year. Because of this relationship, Ji Xiaolan pleaded for Yin Zhuangtu, and Gan Long flew into a rage and scolded his real thoughts, saying that Ji Xiaolan "was raised as a prostitute."

History is always strikingly similar. 1800 years ago, Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty also interceded for others, which led to the cruel imprisonment of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in a rage. Sima Qian summed up his bloody lesson like this: "The ephemeris of literature and history is almost between divination and blessing, which strengthens the teasing of lords, advocates the superiority of livestock and ignores vulgarity." This scene is repeated in Ji Xiaolan. Fortunately, Qianlong was much more affectionate than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Ji Xiaolan was released after a reprimand.

In folklore, Ji Xiaolan is charming and handsome, and his relationship with Gan Long is the right-hand man of a wise monarch, full of trust, ridicule and humor. Ji Xiaolan is honest, witty, handsome and free and easy. He is tit for tat with Harmony, always waiting for an opportunity to play tricks on his opponent and make a fool of himself. I often succeed in avoiding revenge, and the whole fake is true. In fact, this is not the case in history. These stories are all well-intentioned beautification that people take for granted, and they are all false. According to relevant data, the true image of Ji Xiaolan is quite different from folklore. The real Ji Xiaolan in history is short-sighted. "Sleepy-eyed" means ugly; "Myopia" is myopia. This college student not only has these shortcomings, but also suffers from stuttering. Zhu once wrote a poem about Ji Xiaolan: "Hejian is a scholar, stuttering and writing a good book. Immersed in four warehouses, the summary is ten thousand volumes. " But objectively speaking, since Ji Xiaolan can pass the imperial examinations at all levels, his appearance is definitely not "sorry for the audience" and should be "passable", but there is no doubt that Ji Xiaolan is not good-looking. Under the standard of judging people by their appearances, Ji Xiaolan suffered from these congenital deficiencies.

Zhicheng Deng, a historian in Qing Dynasty, said that Qianlong judged people by their appearances, while Wenda (Ji Xiaolan) was short-sighted in appearance and was from Jiangbei, so he was not liked by the Qing emperor (that is, Qianlong). At that time, if Weng, Zhu, Wang Lanquan and Zou Yigui were all rejected as officials, their fate was quite similar. The pure emperor allowed them to be wise and sensitive and led them to become governors. For example, Yu Wenxiang, Liang and Dong Wengong were all stored by jesters. "Gan Long's employment standards for his closest officials not only require these people to be alert, agile, smart and capable, but also require them to be young and handsome. Moreover, Wang Jie, Yu Minzhong, Gao Dong, Liang Guozhi, Fu Changan and others are all such examples. Therefore, even if Ji Xiaolan is brilliant again, his "shortcomings" such as general appearance, myopia and stuttering are also the important reasons why Gan Long and Ji Xiaolan have been separated for a lifetime and can't get real attention. It is very difficult for Ji Xiaolan to become a favorite and minister of Qianlong, and it is also difficult to participate in major political decisions. He can only settle down in words and be a dry ci minister.

Ji Xiaolan served as an imperial envoy of Zuodu in Duchayuan, and his misjudgment should be punished by the ministerial committee. However, Gan Long said, "The appointed Ji Xiaolan is a useless pedant who just wants to fabricate figures. Moreover, he is not familiar with the names of criminals and other matters, and it is excusable to make mistakes because of myopia. " A well-educated college student in A Talented Man and a Beautiful Woman turned out to be a "pedant" in his master's mind. How can a person stop saying that he was sad? Ji Xiaolan worked as an examiner after having obtained the provincial examinations twice, six times and three times as a history official. These are all official positions without real power, just vase-like decorations of the Qing court, and the embodiment of his real experience as a ci minister.

Emperor Qianlong asked Ji Xiaolan to compile "Sikuquanshu" in order to give himself more powder and get more gimmicks for his "sandwich martial arts". Let Ji Xiaolan be the editor in chief. This is because Ji Xiaolan really has unparalleled talent in this field. Gan Long thinks that he can only do part of this kind of work, instead of treating him as an independent etiquette. Ji Xiaolan was fifty years old when he compiled Siku Quanshu. He devoted a lot of energy and painstaking efforts, and with his profound knowledge and amazing willpower, he made great contributions to the preservation and arrangement of China's ancient cultural heritage. Ji Xiaolan managed Sikuquanshu for thirteen years, and personally wrote the General Table of Sikuquanshu and the Concise Catalogue of Sikuquanshu, and his life's brilliance and brilliance reached its peak here.

In the process of compiling Sikuquanshu, Ji Xiaolan and many colleagues suffered embarrassment, hardship and even family destruction brought by writing, and it is difficult for future generations to see the pleasure of "climbing the grid". Liu He, the chief editor, and Lu, the general school, were repeatedly reprimanded by Gan Long and handed over to the Ministry for discussion, and were fined for their mistakes. Finally, editor-in-chief Lu froze to death on the way to Shengjing School. Lu's principal was dismissed because he could not afford the cost of revision, and died of depression. After his death, his ancestral property was still confiscated. Ji Xiaolan has also been reprimanded and punished many times. After the re-examination of Sikuquanshu was completed in forty-five years of Qianlong (1780), many mistakes were found, and Qianlong "ordered discipline and land to pay compensation equally". Colleagues and their own personal experiences have brought Ji Xiaolan a deeper feeling and made him truly aware of the sinister environment in which he lives. Ji Xiaolan Tengda started as a pen and ink inkstone, and embarked on a career with words. During the Qianlong period in which he lived, it was also the period when the "literary inquisition" reached its peak, which of course gave Ji Xiaolan nightmares. Historical Spring and Autumn Network (Li Chunqiu

Ji Xiaolan left a copy of Notes of Yuewei Caotang to future generations. This note is widely circulated. Mr. Lu Xun said that this book "measures the realm of ghosts and gods, making people feel subtle." Sun Li thinks this note is "the same as Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio". Ji Xiaolan also wrote such a note, which is really helpless. He witnessed too many people being carried away by words. After the book was finished, he recited regretfully: "I have tried my best to kill people all my life, and there are many clouds on the paper." The library to be built is old now, because it is said that ghosts are like Dongpo. "With Ji Xiaolan's extensive knowledge, writing a book should not be difficult. But many words and things are not impossible to write, but afraid to write. In addition to the notes of Yuewei Caotang, we have not seen more words handed down by Ji Xiaolan, which is definitely a pity for future generations. " Afraid of not saying a word "reflects his living state and mentality of walking on thin ice."

In his later years, Ji Xiaolan often used games as metaphors to express his thoughts. He played a unique name "Taoist Guan Yi", from which he realized the officialdom, the world and the people's hearts when playing chess. Ji Xiaolan lived in officialdom for a long time, and he was able to do both in officialdom. He must have a way to be an official. He follows Qianlong's poems, flatters most of them, and also shows his "secular" side; Moreover, he is an official who doesn't offend anyone. He tries to remain neutral and never gets impulsive and angry. This is also the experience that Ji Xiaolan has accumulated from officialdom for many years.

Ji Xiaolan is not always smooth sailing. In the thirty-third year of Qianlong (1768), he was involved in the salt policy deficit case because he tipped off the in-laws to Lu. And seize the opportunity to give him the most fatal blow and send him to Urumqi, Xinjiang. During this period, his eldest son died of illness, his beloved concubine Guo Tsefu also died, and his family was ruined. But Ji Xiaolan still walked out of his grief firmly, and he returned to the court two years later.

Ji Xiaolan worked as an editor and editor of imperial academy, giving lectures daily, with a bachelor's degree, an official of Zhan Shifu, a bachelor's degree in cabinet, a minister of Chinese Department, an assistant minister of the Ministry of War, an imperial consultant of Duchayuan Zuodu, an official of the Ministry of War, an official of the Ministry of War, and a university student as co-organizer. Dr. Guanglu, a banquet official and Wen Yuan Pavilion official, honored him and let him ride a horse in the Forbidden City.
