An eloquent historical story

"Yan Zi Zhi Chu" tells the story of the late Spring and Autumn Period, when Yan Zi, a doctor of Qi State, went to Chu, and the king of Chu insulted Yan Zi three times, trying to show the prestige of Chu, and Yan Zi fought back skillfully, thus safeguarding the dignity of himself and the country. The story praised Yan Zi's integrity, patriotic feelings and superb language art.

Ji Xiaolan's eloquent topic.

1, old man

Ji Xiaolan worked in imperial academy when he was the editor-in-chief of Sikuquanshu. One hot and dry day in midsummer, Ji Xiaolan took off his clothes and looked at the proofreading samples on his desk. When I looked up, I saw Emperor Qianlong coming towards this room, and I didn't have time to get dressed. I was afraid of seeing the emperor disrespectfully in this way, so I got into the box and closed the curtain to hide.

Unexpectedly, Ganlong noticed Ji Xiaolan's move, and he quietly walked into the room, signaling panicked editors to settle down and work. Then stroll to Ji Xiaolan's bookcase and sit quietly.

Ji Xiaolan winced for a long time, listening to the elegant silence in the room, thinking that Qianlong had left, lifted the door curtain and leaned out and asked, "Is the old man gone?"

Hearing this, Qianlong scolded, "Ji Xiaolan, you are so rude! What is an old man? Why do you call me old man? I can't tell you the reason to die right away! "

The editors turned pale with fear. Ji Xiaolan rushed out to salute Gan Long. "The emperor called it long live not old? The emperor is the head of state, isn't he? The emperor is the real dragon emperor, isn't he a son? "Old man" is an abbreviation. "

Hearing this, Gan Long smiled and said, "What an eloquent Ji Xiaolan!" ! Get up! I forgive your innocence. "

Step 2 take something

One year, Ji Xiaolan traveled south of the Yangtze River with Emperor Qianlong. When Qianlong saw a bamboo basket, he felt very fresh and asked Ji Xiaolan, "Ai Qing, what is this?"

"Bamboo baskets."

"What's the use of this thing?"

"Take something."

Gan Long was silent for a while and said, "Why not call it Sheng Nanbei?"

After a moment's meditation, he said, "Oriental, western gold. This kind of Jin Mu can be put in a basket, so it is called a container. But if the fire basket in the south is going to burn, the water will definitely leak, so it can't be called Shengnan North. "

Hearing this, the Qianlong nodded with satisfaction.

3, dare not splash water

On one occasion, Ji Xiaolan swam the Guluo River with Emperor Qianlong. When Qianlong saw that this was the place where Dr. Chu Quyuan was martyred, he took the opportunity to give Ji Xiaolan a difficult problem.

Gan Long asked, "What should I do if you want me to die?"

Ji Xiaolan said happily, "I will die without hesitation.

"You are my loyal minister. How about I order you to throw yourself into the river at once? "

"I will command!"

Who knows Ji Xiaolan went to the bow, made a river, didn't jump, just soliloquized, and came back to kneel in front of Gan Long.

Gan Long asked, "Since you are a loyal minister, why don't you obey orders?"

Ji Xiaolan replied, "I was drowning. Qu Yuan jumped into the river and scolded me, saying,' Ji Xiaolan, you child, are you going to be a sinner forever? I jumped into the river because the king of Chu was fatuous. Now that the emperor is wise and the country is rich and strong, but you want to throw yourself into the river, who do you compare the current British Lord to?' The emperor called me a loyal minister. How can I bully a false master? So I dare not splash water. "

After listening to this, Gan Long smiled and said, "I'm kidding you. Get up! "

4. What an old turtle!

The Prime Minister celebrated his 80th birthday. In order to get rich, he sent invitations everywhere, including Ji Xiaolan. Ji Xiaolan is very dissatisfied with this behavior of the Prime Minister. The day before his birthday, he sent someone to the Prime Minister's Office to deliver a big red one, which read "What an old turtle".

The prime minister was furious when he saw it. The next day, he found Ji Xiaolan and scolded him, saying, "I didn't offend you. Why did you write to scold me and give me a hard time? "

Ji Xiaolan said quietly, "I didn't scold you! You are an old minister of the former dynasty, 80 years old, and you are' old'; Generation after generation black veil covers the top, which is' Wu'; Since ancient times, turtles are as famous as cranes, both of which are symbols of longevity. What kind of person is Wei Wudi? He even praised the tortoise as a tortoise, celebrating the birthday of old Guo Xiang, and taking it as a blessing, which is true; "Turtle" is real and well-deserved. How do you say it is deliberately embarrassing adults? "

The old prime minister was speechless for a moment, so he smiled and said, "I was wrong about you." I am really sorry! " thank you very much for your kindness！ "

5. Guilty Spring Festival couplets

One Spring Festival, Ji Xiaolan went home to visit relatives. There is a family of three brothers in the village. Let him write about me in spring to increase the festive atmosphere. Ji Xiaolan cheerfully wrote:

Shanglian: an earth-shattering portal;

Bottom line: One of the best families.

Horizontal criticism: act first and then act.

This is a disaster. He was accused of cheating the monarch into committing a crime. When Emperor Qianlong learned of this incident, he immediately called Ji Xiaolan back to Beijing to ask.

Ji Xiaolan replied: "I wrote the Spring Festival couplets, there is nothing wrong. The boss of this family sells firecrackers, isn't it an earth-shattering portal? The second child is in charge of the fair fight. Isn't screaming all day one of the best families? The third is to kill pigs, isn't it to act first? "

Flat and light.

On one occasion, Emperor Qianlong gave Ji Xiaolan many gifts, including a beautifully made ten-shot arrow garment. The old woman liked it very much, and she watched Ji Xiaogang dressed in an arrow that night.

See this scene, Ji Xiaolan hence nonsense way:

My in-laws are too sentimental,

Go around your knees to see the sweater.

After watching the dead of night,

……

Before Ji Xiaolan finished reading, the old mother-in-law was afraid that he would say something wrong and quickly said seriously, "What do you want?"

When Ji Xiaolan knew it, he slipped out of his mouth, but he couldn't find the right word at the moment, so he sang in accordance with the law of flat and even tones: "Flat and even tones."

6. There is nothing down there.

Every time Ji Yun is on duty in the palace, the eunuch asks him to tell stories and jokes, otherwise he will not be allowed to go to work.

One day, a eunuch met Ji Yun on the road and insisted that he tell a story before he was released. Ji Yun repeatedly refused, and the eunuch refused. Ji Yun then deliberately thought hard for a while and said, "Yes, there is a person ..." At this point, he suddenly kept silent and fixed his eyes on the eunuch.

When the eunuch saw that he stopped talking, he urged, What else is under this man? "

Ji Yun said, "There's nothing down there."

It took the eunuch half a day to know that he had been teased by Ji Yun, so he left with a smile.

7. Vertical is a dog.

When Ji Xiaolan was an assistant minister, he was once invited to visit a Shangshu family. At the banquet, there is another suggestion. Three people were chatting over a drink, which was very leisurely.

After three rounds of drinking, a dog suddenly passed by the kitchen. Yushi wanted to make fun of Ji Xiaolan, pretended not to know him and asked, "Is it a wolf or a dog?"

Ji Xiaolan heard the implication that he was mocking himself that "assistant minister (homophonic for' wolf') is a dog" and immediately blurted out: "It's a dog."

Shangshu also deliberately asked: "How do you know? .

Ji Xiaolan replied, "There are two differences between a dog and a wolf: one is that the tail hangs down, the wolf hangs down, and the dog stands upright. The second is to distinguish by what to eat. Wolves don't eat meat, and dogs eat meat and shit. "

Ji Xiaolan used the homonym "Shangshu", "Shangshu" and "Yu Shi" to make fun of Shangshu and Shi Yu.

Shangshu and Shi Yu both laughed.

8. Xizhuo adds a Tathagata.

On this day, Ji Xiaolan is reading in the study. A servant handed in a business card and said, "Liu, the magistrate of Hengyang, is outside the door and wants to see an adult."

Ji Xiaolan invited the guests in and asked, "Have you finished all your work?"

Liu leaned down and replied, "I have finished my business. I will leave for Hunan tomorrow." I asked for an interview today. One is farewell, and the other is to ask your Excellency to give me Mo Bao. "

It turns out that there is a Nanyue Temple on Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, and the monk in charge recently passed away. This place is under the jurisdiction of Hengyang area. Liu Taishou went back to attend the memorial service this time and asked Ji Xiaolan to make a pair.

Ji Xiaolan immediately agreed, spread out the paper and wrote seven characters:

A monk died in Nanyue Temple.

Liu Taishou shivered in his heart: isn't Master Ji speaking in language? Why did the vernacular come up? Isn't it a joke to take it back and hang it up? "But I still can't say.

It happened that Ji Xiaolan asked again, "What do you think?"

"This …", Liu is really difficult to answer.

Ji Xiaolan smiled, and then wrote seven characters:

Xi Zhuguo added a Tathagata.

Liu Taishou hastily piled up a smile on his face and clapped his hands again and again.

9. turn poetry into words

One day, Qianlong sent someone to call Ji Xiaolan and asked him to write a folded face for himself.

Ji Xiaolan did not dare to refuse, so he wrote a poem "Liangzhou Ci" by Wang Zhihuan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty:

The Yellow River is far above the white clouds.

Wan Ren is an isolated city.

Why should a strong brother complain about willow?

The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass.

When Ji Xiaolan finished writing, Gan Long took it and said with a calm face, "I'm missing a word' between'."

When Ji Xiaolan saw it, he felt that the incident was not good. He made a mistake in his busy work and wrote a word "between". Usually, he will be punished. But the witty Ji Xiaolan quickly calmed down and said to Gan Long, "There is no missing word. This is a word."

"Can I have a word?" Gan Long said in surprise, "Read it."

Ji Xiaolan took his time and read the new words of this poem: "The Yellow River is far away, and white clouds are blossoming. Mount Wan Ren, an isolated city; Why are you complaining about Johnny? Willow spring breeze, not Yumenguan. "

Gan Long smiled and said, "Very clever, and argued well."

10, gluttonous person.

One day, Qianlong gave a banquet in honor of the minister. Ministers eat and drink to their heart's content. At this time, the somewhat arrogant Emperor Qianlong became very poetic again. He went out and said to me, "The Jade Emperor marched in the army, with wind knives and arrows, thunder and lightning."

Emperor Qianlong asked the officials to answer correctly, but no one stood up to me. Gan Long refers to Ji Xiaolan. Correct.

On reflection, Ji Xiaolan made a couplet: "The Dragon King gave a banquet, lit lamps every day, and ate and drank all over the mountain."

Ministers cheered. Emperor Keganlong felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. He hesitated for a long time with an angry face. Everyone felt the seriousness of the problem, and they were all worried about Ji Xiaolan.

Knowing that he had offended the emperor, Ji Xiaolan went on to say, "The Holy Land belongs to the emperor, so the wind, rain, clouds and thunder are all under your command, which is a great shock to the world;" I hope that days, months and mountains and seas can be in the banquet. It can be seen that the holy one is powerful, and I am just gluttonous. "

Ji Xiaolan deliberately raised Qianlong and belittled his excuse. Suddenly, Qianlong was overjoyed and quickly praised Ji Xiaolan: "Although your appetite is good, if you don't have thousands of books in your chest, how can you have such a big belly?"
