The Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who reigned for sixty years and then became emperor Taishang for more than three years, died at the age of eighty-nine, becoming the long-lived emperor in Chinese history. Later generations have mixed evaluations of Qianlong, but one thing is certain, among the hundreds of emperors in ancient times, he belonged to a very talented one, read a lot of books, liked to write poetry, and it is said that he composed tens of thousands of poems in his lifetime.
Almost every emperor has favored courtiers around him, and Qianlong is naturally no exception, and He Yan and Ji Xiaolan are the most typical examples. Influenced by some historical dramas, many people mistakenly believe that Qianlong, He yan and Ji Xiaolan are about the same age, but in fact, they are very wrong. Qianlong was thirteen years older than Ji Xiaolan and thirty-nine years older than He yan, and when He Yan was favored, Qianlong was already over sixty years old.
Ji Xiaolan in the main history is not a sworn enemy of Hezhen, in other words, he is not an opponent of Hezhen at all, why do you say so? Ji Xiaolan was indeed very talented, a veritable scholar, and later served as the chief editor of the Siku Quanshu. However, he was at best a royal scholar, and unlike Yan, he was not only the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also the chief university scholar of the cabinet and the minister of military aircraft, who could be called one person above ten thousand people.
The reason why Ji Xiaolan was able to become a red person around the emperor was because of his high literary level and good at poetry, and Qianlong just needed such talents. In his spare time, Qianlong would call Ji Xiaolan to his side, and when the two of them exchanged couplet skills, or when they were micro-service private visits, they would take Ji Xiaolan with him and chat with him to relieve boredom, so there were many interesting stories left between them.
Once, Qianlong felt that the palace was too boring, and wanted to go to the countryside near the capital to take a turn, quan dang to relax and breathe fresh air by the way. Originally planning to let He Yan accompany him, it turned out that He Yan was on a business trip to other places at that time, and was not in the capital, so Qianlong asked the eunuch to call Ji Xiaolan. The two changed into ordinary people's clothes, put on a straw hat, and nagged as they walked, and unconsciously came to a farmland.
Because the weather was too hot, Qianlong suggested taking a break under the tree before continuing on his way. Qianlong suddenly saw a mouse, running past him with lightning speed, and suddenly came to his inspiration, turned to Ji Xiaolan and said, "Ji Aiqing, there is a shanglian here, are you willing to listen?" Ji Xiaolan did not dare to refuse, and replied with a smile: "Wei Chen listened attentively." ”
Qianlong said, "Rats are called old no matter how big or small." "It's easy to look at, and the meaning is not difficult to understand, no matter how big the rat, even if it is just born, it is called a rat." However, it is not easy to get out of the lower link, you need to take into account the adjectives "size" and "old". Ji Xiaolan was silent for a moment and gave a lower link: "Parrots have males and females called brothers", Qianlong laughed after listening to it, saying that Ji Xiaolan was worthy of being the first talent of the Qing Dynasty.
A few months later, Qianlong, accompanied by his courtiers, ascended the Taishan Temple to worship Dai, and it happened that there was a drama team performing in front of the temple. Qianlong, who had always liked to join in the fun, stepped forward to listen to the play, and at that time he was acting in the opera "The Record of the West Chamber". On the way back to the capital, Qianlong still thought about the scene of watching the play in his mind, and there was a feeling that he was still unfinished. He Yan was very clever and took the initiative to talk about "The Tale of the West Chamber", and Ji Xiaolan also echoed a few words from time to time.
After a while, Qianlong casually said a shanglian: "Dongyue Temple, singing west chamber, southern cavity and northern tuning." "Among the five mountains, Taishan is called Dongyue, and the one who sings the opera uses the southern and northern tones. I have to admit that Qianlong was quick in his thinking and actually integrated the four directions of the southeast, south, and northwest into the couplet. After hearing this, He Yan was directly confused, and with his couplet level, it was useless to break his head, so he had to turn to Ji University for help through his eyes.
Ji Xiaolan smoked a few puffs of smoke, spat out gorgeous circles, and then cleverly paired up with the next link: "Chunhefang, selling summer cloth, autumn harvest and winter hiding." The "southeast, southwest, and northwest" corresponding to the Shanglian with "spring, summer, autumn and winter" is almost perfect, and He Yan gave Ji Xiaolan a thumbs up, expressing sincere admiration, and Qianlong also nodded his head, expressing great affirmation of Ji Xiaolan's talent.
If you were given the upper link "Dongyue Temple, Singing West Wing, Southern Cavity and Northern Tune", could you come up with a suitable lower link? Welcome to leave your high opinion.
