What kind of person was Ji Xiaolan in history?

The real Ji Xiaolan is not as favored as in TV series. He is also a lecherous and carnivorous person.

In the TV series "Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and copper teeth", Ji Xiaolan played by Teacher Zhang Guoli showed a resourceful look. Every time he fights with Xiao Shenyang, he always wins by his own cleverness.

But there is a saying that art comes from life, but it is higher than life. Ji Xiaolan in TV series is very different from the real Ji Xiaolan in history.

The real Ji Xiaolan in history does have some intelligence, but it has two biggest characteristics, one is its love of meat, and the other is its lust.

In addition, the most important thing is that Ji Xiaolan in history is not as favored as in TV series.

The reason why Ji Xiaolan is unpopular can be seen from his official resume.

In the 19th year of Qianlong, 30-year-old Ji Xiaolan finally got into high school in this year after years of hard work, and began his career as an official.

When he first entered the officialdom, Ji Xiaolan really won the attention of Emperor Qianlong with his knowledge. Especially in the twenty-first year of Qianlong, he presided over the compilation of Record of Jehol. What's more, Emperor Qianlong praised him and allowed him to accompany him to visit Jehol.

After driving with Jehol, Ji Xiaolan entered the "fast lane" of officialdom.

It took Ji Xiaolan less than three years to complete the general compilation of the Wuying Hall and the National History Museum. Moreover, after serving as the editor-in-chief of the National History Museum for one year, Emperor Qianlong appointed him as the editor-in-chief of the General Planning Museum.

Ji Xiaolan was promoted so quickly because he relied on real talent and learning. Even emperor Qianlong praised him for this, calling him "superior in knowledge."

On the surface, Ji Xiaolan seems to be favored and reused by Emperor Qianlong, but this is not the case. One thing happened soon after, which made Ji Xiaolan really realize what is called "unpredictability".

In the thirty-third year of Qianlong, Ji Xiaolan's in-laws, Lu Jianzeng, the envoy who transported Huai salt to Huai Shang, was convicted, but Ji Xiaolan didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and "gaffes" helped Lu Jianzeng avoid disaster. What was the result? Not only did Lu Jian not avoid disaster, but even the "last words" were learned by Emperor Qianlong.

Finally, Emperor Qianlong immediately ordered Ji Xiaolan to be exiled to Urumqi.

I say this because this exile was the only "release" in Ji Xiaolan's life, and it was after his conviction.

In the Qing Dynasty, emperors often entrusted those capable and highly valued civil servants with real power, such as Liu Tongxun, Liu Yong and Zuo.

But Ji Xiaolan never had such an opportunity in his life. On the surface, Emperor Qianlong appreciated him and his knowledge very much, but in fact, Emperor Qianlong only stayed in appreciating his knowledge.

According to the records of Qing history, Qianlong once commented on Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan. He thinks that Liu Yong is the kind of person who "knows nothing", while Ji Xiaolan "reads a lot of books but doesn't understand".

It is out of this kind of psychology that Emperor Qianlong left Ji Xiaolan in Beijing, but never let him out, under the banner of Ji Xiaolan's "superior knowledge, unable to do his best to be an official in other provinces".

However, exile in Urumqi also enriched Ji Xiaolan's life. In the past two years, he visited the local customs, and at the same time seriously reflected on his experience in the first half of his life. Two years later, Ji Xiaolan became a completely different person.

After returning from Urumqi, the biggest change for Ji Xiaolan is to be an honest man and do things in a down-to-earth manner.
