Folks, is there really such a person as Ji Xiaolan in history? According to the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", during the reign of Qianlong, the Qing Dynasty had famous ministers such as Liu Yong, He Yan, Fu Kang'an, and Ji Xiaolan, among whom Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan were known for their talents. Ji Xiaolan was born in 1724 AD, his father Ji Rongshu was the prefect of Yunnan, so Ji Xiaolan was influenced by his father from childhood and loved to read, and appeared in front of everyone as a "prodigy" from an early age.
According to historical records, the prodigy followed his father to Beijing to study at the age of 11. In 1754, the 30-year-old Ji Xiaolan won the fourth place in the second division, which unlocked his "career mode." In film and television dramas, Ji Xiaolan seems to often make fun of Hezhongtang, and he also dares to joke with the emperor, but if you take a closer look at the resume of Ji Daren's life, we can find that this great Qing talent cannot fight with the powerful ministers and Zhen, and even more dare not joke with Qianlong's grandfather.
Ji Xiaolan has successively held positions such as the Bachelor of Attendants of Hanlin Academy, the Shangshu of Rebbe, and the Imperial History of Zuodu, but his main work in life seems to have an indissoluble relationship with "shushu". Because he ate with his talent, he has been serving as the "chief editor" of various revision institutions, and it took 14 years to complete the "compilation" of the "Four Libraries". In addition, this "editor-in-chief" also left the "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" and the "Collection of Ji Wenda's Public Relics" for posterity, which can be seen that Ji Daren has been dealing with books almost all his life, and there is no contradiction in work with Adult.
Moreover, Ji Xiaolan was also a scholar of books, and his status was not high, and he did not dare to fight with the high-ranking and powerful Yipin officials and the Zhongtang, and he did not dare to open up with the Qianlong Emperor. In the play, Ji Xiaolan looks tall and thin, and he is also a talent, and he only loves du Xiaoyue, who is still an infatuation seed, so is the historical Ji Daren really like this? Through the description of the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", we found that Ji Xiaolan was short and fat, stuttered, or a short-sighted eye, which was a bit of a "dead fat house" feeling.
In the 1970s, an ancient tomb in Zhenbei Village, Cangxian County, Hebei Province, was discovered, and as a result, a scene in the ancient tomb completely revealed the real Ji Xiaolan to the world. The private life of this great talent who is very dedicated in the play is simply shocking. Archaeologists have determined through the epitaph that Ji Xiaolan is the owner of the tomb. At that time, the first thing experts saw when they entered the tomb were 7 corpses, and there were various funerary items around them.
It is recorded in the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty" that this Great Qing talent married a woman surnamed Ma who was 3 years older than him at the age of 17, and later took a concubine. However, after the experts surveyed the ancient tomb, they further determined that Ji Xiaolan had married 1 wife and 6 concubines in his lifetime. That is to say, this talent is not only not dedicated but also very. It can be summed up like this: the historical Ji Xiaolan is just a book-repairing official, and there is no contradiction in work with Hezhen, and the two will not often pinch each other; at the same time, Ji Xiaolan is short and fat, his eyes are short-sighted, his speech is stuttering, and he is not as good-looking as in the play; finally, Ji Xiaolan married 7 wives in his life, which can be said to be some "scumbag" temperament and not dedicated.
