Historically, Ji Xiaolan's treatment of Hezhen was always a posture of being vain and snake-like, and generally did not provoke, unlike Liu Yong's direct struggle with Hezhen. Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan were also good friends, but he forced Ji Xiaolan to give him a new pavilion inscription, and Ji Xiaolan could not hide, so he inscribed the word "bamboo bud" for him, which implied a satire on He yan.
When many people saw the meaning of it, they all chose to keep their mouths shut, and only Liu Yong told the truth to Hezhen, and the "bamboo buds" were taken apart to see "a straw bag". He Yan suddenly realized, his heart was very annoyed, but in front of everyone, it was inconvenient to attack, and then Ji Xiaolan was harassed by him in every way.
Qunchen is also puzzled, Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan are also former friends, why should they do something about selling friends? There's a reason for that, too.
Ji Xiaolan was summoned to the palace, just in time for the rain in Tiangong, his face was full of rain, and he did not wipe it himself, so he entered the palace. The Qianlong Emperor then rebuked him: "When you came into the palace, you did not wipe the rain off your face, do you know your sins?" ”
Only then did Ji Xiaolan realize that he had just heard someone announce that he was in a hurry, and in a hurry, he forgot to wipe away the rain. At this moment, the emperor wants to surrender his sins, how to answer? Ji Xiaolan replied urgently, "The rain on Wei Chen's face has already been wiped away." What the Holy See sees is not rain, but tears! I can't wipe it, and I ask the Holy One to forgive my sins. ”
When the emperor heard this, he thought about what ghost idea Ji Xiaolan was going to play today, so he asked along the lines: "Ai Qing, why are you crying?" Ji Xiaolan immediately said, "Respectfully, Saint Shangmingjian..." At the beginning of the sentence, Ji Xiaolan did not say anything again, but turned to look at the emperor's face. The Qianlong Emperor urged him to speak quickly and not to swallow and spit out.
"Wei Chen did not dare to speak, for fear that the saint would blame him and would not be able to afford to eat his sins," Ji Xiaolan replied, again waiting for the emperor to forgive him for his innocence. Having received the emperor's assurance of innocence, Ji Xiaolan thanked him and began to speak.
The hometown is Hejian Province, at the confluence of the Nine Rivers, the terrain is low-lying, every rainy year, the farmland is submerged, the crops are damaged, if it is a drought season with little rain, the saline land, no grass. In the harvest year, the harvest is only 60% or 70%, and in the drought year, it is difficult for the spring sowing of this saline-alkali land to grow seedlings, so what do the people in their hometown rely on to live on?
As he spoke, Ji Xiaolan's tears fell like rain, and the emperor was also touched by his behavior, living in the height of the temple, he could still be so worried about the people, which showed his sincere heart, and then asked Ji Xiaolan, what should he do?
Ji Xiaolan made another remark, and then said: "Dare to kowtow to the saint and spare the money and grain in his hometown this year." "There are more than a dozen counties in Hejian Province, which are too big, and the Qianlong Emperor feels that ji Xiaolan's hometown should be exempted from the money and grain of xianxian County. Ji Xiaolan thanked him and left with a spring breeze on his face.
In other words, this was the spring of the first year, the next year, Ji Xiaolan and Liu Yong accompanied the holy car on a tour of Mount Tai, passing through Hejian Province, the emperor could not help but think of a "cry" of Xiaolan last year, and then looked at the farmland on both sides of the road, and did not directly call Ji Xiaolan to the front: "Ji Xiaolan, are you convicted?" ”
Ji Xiaolan was originally a little afraid, but when he saw the emperor laughing, he knew that he didn't really want to cure his crime, and his courage also grew: "Emperor Qi, Wei Chen doesn't know what the crime is?" ”
It turned out that from the emperor out of the capital to this place, all he saw was a scene of harvest, the land was fertile, the grain grains were full, and the jujube and plum were in rows, which looked like ninety-year-old scenes, which was very different from Ji Xiaolan's description.
To this end, Ji Xiaolan began to argue that Cui Erzhuang, more than a hundred miles southeast of hejian City, could not be compared with this place, even if the wind and rain were smooth this year, it was only 70% or 80% of the year.
Hearing Ji Xiaolan say this, the Qianlong Emperor decided to take a detour to Cui Erzhuang, go and have a look, and live in Ji Mansion at night. Ji Xiaolan quickly sent people to lead the way in front, specifically picking places where the crops did not grow well, on this road, the saline and alkali land was white, and the crops were small and short, just as Ji Xiaolan said.
When he arrived at the Ji Mansion, although the houses were not large, they were quiet and elegant, and there was no luxurious thing, and the Qianlong Emperor also secretly appreciated it in his heart.
Ji Xiaolan was able to go around the bend to seek the welfare of the people, and coaxing the emperor to come to his heart was also very powerful, and he asked people to offer the golden jujube in his hometown. The Qianlong Emperor was eating this sweet and silky jujube, and suddenly thought about how Ji Xiaolan had not recommended such a delicious thing to him before.
However, Ji Xiaolan also said that he had eaten such sweet dates for the first time, so he had never recommended them to the emperor. Knowing that Ji Xiaolan could speak eloquently, the Qianlong Emperor was also interested, so he argued with him: "Ai Qing was born here, grew up here, and entered Beijing after the age of thirty, why did he say that he tasted such a sweet fruit for the first time?" ”
Ji Xiaolan said unhurriedly: "Before the hometown jujube was not distinctive, that is, this year's surprising sweetness, it is actually the arrival of the saint, blessed in the township, the jujube is also sweet at the time, Wei Chen is here to thank the Lord Longen." Listening, the emperor and the crowd laughed.
The roof of the living room of the Kifu is lined up with ebony, and the two ends are hung on the front and rear gables, without large beams, and the sandalwood is much thicker than the beams of ordinary people's houses. The sandalwood rafters on the roof were all exposed, and the emperor was chatting with the ministers, Ji Xiaolan looked up, and he had a plan, please ask the emperor to see how this living room is different from the capital house?
The Qianlong Emperor looked up and down, and did not feel that there was anything special, so he asked Ji Xiaolan to quickly say, don't sell Guanzi. Ji Xiaolan said that although the houses directly under the people's homes were different, one thing was the same, that is, "directly subordinate to no beams", and when he said it, he guided the emperor to look up.
Looking at it, the Qianlong Emperor found that there was indeed no big beam, so he repeated the phrase "directly subordinate to no beam." Ji Xiaolan silently wrote down the emperor's words, on a certain day in a certain month of a certain year, long live stationed in ji mansion, yu living room cloud "directly subordinate to no grain."
A few days later, they passed through Zhucheng, Shandong, which was Liu Yong's hometown, Liu Yong's father Liu Tongxun was a military minister, father and son were in high positions for two generations, there were still many assets, Liu Fu's homestead was much better than Ji Fu's, and the house was exquisite. The Qianlong Emperor also wanted to see Liu Yong's mansion, so he ordered that liu mansion be stationed at night.
The emperor arrived, the Liu family prepared exquisite dishes, the living room was incomparably spacious, the cornices were soaring, Ji Xiaolan looked at the roof, the style was very different from his own home, at the junction of sandalwood, there were two very conspicuous beams, one thick. According to the law, Ji Xiaolan guided the emperor to say the words "directly subordinate to no beams, Shandong double beams", and then carefully wrote it down.
After the dinner, Ji Xiaolan rushed to the emperor and thanked Long En, so that the Qianlong Emperor did not know what was going on, asked and did not say, worried about being punished. After the Qianlong Emperor forgave him innocent, Ji Xiaolan said his true thoughts: "... Just because of what the saint said, there is no grain, Shandong double grain, long live grandpa exempted the imperial grain of the subject's hometown, by Shandong dai took, how can the minister not kowtow to Xie En? ”
Ji Xiaolan finished speaking in a serious manner, the ministers present were worried about him, Liu Yong was even more angry, and the Qianlong Emperor also knew that his golden mouth was full of words, and he was exploited, and he could not be angry, so he had to approve of Ji Xiaolan's performance, and it just so happened that the wind and rain in Shandong were smooth and the harvest was good.
This is good, Shandong wants to take out two imperial grains, Liu Yongqi also ignored Ji Xiaolan along the way, Ji Xiaolan also knew that Liu Yong was angry, along the way he also followed behind and took the initiative to talk, to Mount Taishan, and then ran to Liu Yong's residence to visit. Liu Yong really didn't want to pay attention, and when he saw that he couldn't hide from it, he asked Ji Xiaoming to explain the reason and not to tease people behind his back.
Ji Xiaolan smiled and squinted and explained to Liu Yong that this was a golden jade word, and the "Shandong Double Grain" that the Emperor said was not "Shandong No Grain", and I couldn't say anything. Liu Yong didn't come out of the air and sat there drinking tea by himself. Then, Ji Xiaolan said happily: "Why don't you take this opportunity to re-measure the land, then Shandong will lose "one" and get "ten"." ”
Liu Yong also woke up like a dream, conspired with Ji Xiaolan, and returned to the capital to play, Shandong Dahu Tian Mu was not real, in order to pay the imperial grain, but also did not increase the burden of ordinary people, asked to measure the land again.
The emperor sent a minister of Chincha, but according to Liu Yong's dictation, the result of this measurement was naturally less land, not only the double imperial grain in that year was less, but also the imperial grain every year in the future. Later, the emperor also asked, and local officials claimed that Shandong was surrounded by the sea on three sides, the sea was rising, and a large amount of farmland was engulfed, and it was necessary to get the sea miles. This matter has also ended like this, and Shandong's "mu da" has also become a fact, and the legend of "measuring the sea" has also been left behind.
Ji Xiaolan "made up for the merits" to repair the relationship with Liu Yong, but the rift was difficult to erase after all, so there was a scene of Liu Yong "betraying" his friends.
Knowing the truth, He Yan was a trick to put Ji Xiaolan to death, Liu Yong looked at it, and he also regretted it very much, he put Ji Xiaolan in such a dangerous situation for a little unpleasantness, and he did not expect that He Yan was so vicious.
It is said that although he failed on the road of the imperial examination, he was also full of poetry, and the four books and five classics were also familiar with his heart, and it was not that he did not learn no skills, but that he was dark in the scientific expedition, he was pushed down, and finally had to enter the palace as a guard.
He also knew that the word "bamboo bud" came from the "Book of Poetry, Little Ya Si Gan", "such as bamboo bud, such as pine mao", and posterity often used "bamboo bud song mao" to praise the completion of the new house and the prosperity of the family. He Yan also felt that the meaning was very good, Ji Xiaolan was usually respectful to him, and there was no doubt, so he made the two words into a golden flat, and on the day the pavilion was built, the civil and military officials rushed to celebrate the compliment.
People who understand the meaning of "bamboo bud" just go home, talk to their friends privately, and have fun. Liu Yong also came to Hefu, and he laughed out loud, and Hezhen repeatedly asked what he was laughing about.
Liu Yong wanted to tell the truth, Ji Xiaolan and He Yan must have a good contest, and there will be good drama to watch later. Maybe Liu Yong also felt that Ji Xiaolan's skills were superior to winning hezhen!
Since then, the relationship between He Yan and Ji Xiaolan has become tense, far from being a verbal battle and satirizing each other. Liu Yong was annoyed and personally went to the door to apologize to Ji Xiaolan and asked him to be more careful.
The deeds of historical figures can always make us enlightened, who is Liu Yong in the workplace, who is Ji Xiaolan, who is He Yan, can we distinguish clearly? Or do we know how to handle it?
