The Qianlong Emperor was the sixth emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and during his reign, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty had reached its peak. Qianlong was also a well-known emperor in history, who not only inherited the wenzhi martial arts of the previous two emperors, but also further completed the unification of the country and social and economic stability. In addition to his achievements in politics, Qianlong also vigorously developed sinology, held erudite macrosciences, widely recruited intellectuals, and ordered Ji Xiaolan and more than 360 other high-ranking literary officials to compile the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book." At the same time, the Qianlong Emperor also called himself the "Ten Perfect Old Man" in his later years, showing his brilliant political achievements.
As the ruler of the prosperous Qing Dynasty, Qianlong also liked to compose poetry in his spare time, and he was the most productive poet in the world, composing more than 40,000 poems in his lifetime. However, although Qianlong is the person who has written the most poems in history and has left countless ink treasures throughout China, there are few materials and appreciations for his poetry in the current literary world. According to historical records, although the Qianlong Emperor read a lot of books, he liked to show off his knowledge, and the poems he wrote were not only difficult to understand, but also very difficult to speak. In addition, Qianlong also liked to make pairs, and often accompanied him, He Yan and Ji Xiaolan, and also had to pair up the lower league in time according to Qianlong's upper link.
According to historical records, Qianlong went to a Tavern in Jiangnan accompanied by He yan and Ji Xiaolan during a private visit to Weifu. Qianlong sat in the box on the second floor, looking at the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan outside the window, tasting the fragrance of the good tea leaves in his mouth, and could not help but have a sense of comfort in his heart. After drinking and eating, Qianlong suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he immediately transformed from a king of a country into a poet of crepe and crepe, looking at the puzzled eyes of He yan and Ji Xiaolan, he said proudly: Now that there is an upward connection, you will each be connected one after another, and if you receive a good one, you will be rewarded with a lot.
He Yan immediately "humbly" said that Qianlong's shanglian must be difficult for thousands of years, and who in the world can say it? Qianlong smiled in his heart, his face still pretended not to care, let Hezhen not worry, it is okay if he does not come out, it is just a play. So Qianlong sat down and blurted out a sentence: Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. After hearing this, He Yan was overjoyed, thinking that the Emperor of Qianlong's shanglian was really simple, and even he could easily pick it up. In order not to let Ji Xiaolan, who was gloating on the sidelines, make a splash, He Yan immediately said that he already had an idea, and then proudly said the lower link: southeast, northwest, and middle.
Although "southeast, northwest and middle" can also be, they are all nouns for table orientation, and they are far inferior in quality to "gold, wood, water, fire and earth", and even a child who has just read and read can easily match it. Ji Xiaolan smiled darkly at the look of he and Yan Out of the ugly, and then unhurriedly said his next link: Bancheng Shochu. These five characters not only implied the change of the five elements, but also were more than one step higher than the Qianlong Emperor's shanglian. The Qianlong Emperor first praised Ji Xiaolan's talent, and then asked He yan to read more poetry and learn from Ji Xiaolan. However, Qianlong's heart was not very happy, not only did he not mention anything about the reward, but he also immediately beckoned him to leave the restaurant.
He Yan looked at Ji Xiaolan out of the limelight but found nothing, he couldn't help but laugh, he knew the reason for Qianlong's bad mood, at this time he didn't care about his ugly state just now, but some sympathy for Ji Xiaolan. Ji Xiaolan is also a smart person, he knows that what he does is not pleasing, but he still has to reflect the pride of a literati, and Ji Xiaolan is also a model for a literary artist.
