A few years ago, the "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan" series of dramas was on fire, becoming a classic costume TV series, which mainly tells the battle of wits and courage between the two protagonists Ji Xiaolan and Hezhen, the university scholar Ji Xiaolan is just and impartial in enforcing the law, while Tobe Shangshu and Yanyou are slippery and obedient, and they have been incompatible for many years and are political enemies of each other. But audiences familiar with history know that the real Hezhen is far more hateful than the HEzhen on TV, and he amassed wealth by holding a number of important official positions, worth about 820 million to 1.1 billion taels of silver, which was already more than the sum of the qing government's fifteen years of fiscal revenue at that time. So what about Ji Xiaolan in history? Is he really a big talent like the image created in film and television dramas, a table of talents, and can he speak eloquently?
Ji Yun, zi xiaolan, late shi yun, Dao number Guan Yi Daoist, Qing Dynasty literary scholar, lived to the age of eighty-one, so it seems that in his later years he seemed to become an old man of xianfeng Dao bones. Ji Yun was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, his father Ji Rongshu and grandfather Ji Tianshen had all served as officials in the Qing Dynasty, and had such a family background, Ji Yun was enlightened to start studying at the age of four, and at the age of eleven he followed his father into Beijing, his talent was very high, he read a lot of books, he was twenty-one years old, he became a scholar during the Qianlong period at the age of thirty-one, and since then he has stepped into the career path, the official Zuo Du Yushi, the military department, the Rebbe Shangshu, the assistant university Shijia Prince Taishou Guozi Supervisor Zhishi, and also served as the general editor of the "Four Libraries Complete Book" and wrote the "Outline of the General Catalogue of the Four Libraries".
In this way, it seems that Ji Xiaolan's life is quite good, but it is far from the scenery of Ji Xiaolan on the screen, and there is no irrevocable friendship with Qianlong, and even the Qianlong Emperor does not look up to him, because the dashing Qianlong Emperor does not look at him with a slightly ugly appearance, and mr. Deng Zhicheng, an expert in Qing history, evaluates Ji Xiaolan as follows: Short-sightedness. "Maungku" refers to the ugly and short appearance, "short-sighted" refers to myopic eyes, and Zhu Jue, who studied the Siku Quanshu with Ji Xiaolan, commented that it was "Zongbo Hejian Jiao, stuttering and writing books." That is to say, Ji Xiaolan stuttered. However, he has a rather loud name "Wind and Talent", he is indeed affectionate, there are many wives and concubines, he thinks that concubines conform to the law of etiquette, if forcibly prohibited, it will definitely make things that are not in accordance with the law of etiquette, so he married a wife and six concubines.
When Ji Xiaolan was seventeen years old, he married Ma Shi, who was three years older than him, and since then the two have respected each other as guests, white-headed and old, at the age of seventy-five, perhaps in modern times Ji Xiaolan is a scumbag, but in ancient times it seems that it is very normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, and Ma himself is extremely virtuous and tolerant, which was mentioned by Ji Xiaolan in the "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", Ma Clan likes a concubine, "So Lady Ma always loves like a petite woman." And later, after Ma became a mother-in-law, "Madame Ma said that her (second daughter-in-law) was complete in work, rong, speech, and morality." It can be seen that Ma's virtuousness is deeply loved by Ji Xiaolan, and Ji Xiaolan, who cherishes ink like gold, can spend pen and ink to mention her twice.
Of course, the mercurial Ji Xiaolan is also very willing to spend pen and ink on his favorite concubine, among the six concubines he loves the most is Guo Caifu and Shen Minggui of the Shen clan, Guo Shi married Ji Xiaolan when he was thirteen years old, died of illness in his thirties, Ji Xiaolan specially wrote a "Huaixi Magazine" for her to record the thick true feelings between the two, the seriously ill Guo Clan went to the Guandi Temple to ask for a signature, knowing that she could wait until Ji Xiaolan returned, so she waited until her husband returned before she died, Ji Xiaolan also wrote a lot of poems for her, such as " Fenghua also lit the old Luo clothes, and the pieces of mournfulness flew (pronounced 'tumi'). "Hundred folds of Xiang skirt stage painting bar, Linfeng also remembers the steps of Shanshan."
Another concubine, Shen Shi, was thirty years younger than Ji Xiaolan, which made Ji Xiaolan doubly kind to her, even Lady Ma loved her as her own daughter, the concubine mentioned above was Shen Shi, but Shen Shi died in his thirties, and Ji Xiaolan also wrote poems to commemorate Shen Shi, writing on her portrait: "When there is no trace of spring dreams, the most important thing is in the vagueness." It seems that Ji Xiaolan is still an amorous talent, but he is really, and he has to have several women in a day, at least five times, and these five times are at different times of the day, early morning, morning, noon, dusk, before going to bed, so spoiled women, Ji Xiaolan also has only four sons.
But some scholars think that Ji Xiaolan's lust is to express inner spiritual repression, in order to consume pride, but this involves philosophical depth, the average person will not understand too much, everyone directly sees the fact that Ji Xiaolan's tomb has seven female corpses, they are sitting upright, it is not difficult to imagine, these seven women are Ji Xiaolan's wives and concubines, it seems that Ji Xiaolan still values his wife and concubines, after death everyone will also be buried together, everyone will be reunited.
In the "Record of the Elimination of the Rain Window", it is recorded that Ji Wenda Gongyun, happy and witty, was insulted by many courtiers, and it is also mentioned in the "Records of the Sinologists of the State Dynasty": Ji Yun has a frank mind and a funny sex, but suddenly hears his words, almost witty, and thinks about it, it is a famous saying. From this point of view, Ji Xiaolan's thinking is quite profound, and he is funny and mischievous in his daily life, and sure enough, the realm of a great writer is not something that ordinary people can understand.
