One "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" won the red Liu Yong, one "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan" won the red Ji Yun, followed by the other two protagonists of the story - Emperor Qianlong and the corrupt official He Yan.
Through successful character shaping, the TV series has made Qianlong, Liu Yong, Ji Yun (zi Xiaolan), and He Yan the most well-known historical figures in the Qing Dynasty, and the historical stories and historical knowledge related to them are also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, historical drama is not the same as history, and there are huge differences between the two. Below, let's understand the historical truths that are different from film and television dramas.
(Stills of Prime Minister Liu Luoguo)
First: Washu is not surnamed "He".
In the film and television drama, Ji Xiaolan called Hezhen a "he adult", but in real history, Hezhen was associated with the "eight surnames of Manchuria" Niu Hulu, and Qianlong's biological mother Empress Xiaoshengxian (Zhen Huan) was the same surname, and the surname was not at all "He", "He Adult", "and Aiqing" This name is simply a slippery slope.

Second: Washu is a beautiful man.
Under the wonderful interpretation of Teacher Wang Gang, the image of corrupt officials and fat and bad people is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that the audience takes it for granted that the hezhen in the historical truth should look like Teacher Wang Gang. However, the actual situation is that He yan has a beautiful face, can sing Danjiao, and the boy and woman are famous "beautiful men" in the Qing Dynasty, as evidenced by the real portrait of Hezhen. See figure below.

Third: Liu Yong has neither been prime minister nor Luo Guo.
As early as the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang used the "Hu Weiyong Case" to abolish the system of prime ministers that had been inherited in China for more than a thousand years, and from then on, neither the Ming and Qing dynasties had a position of prime minister, so Liu Yong could not have been a prime minister.
In real history, Liu Yong is indeed known as the "Thick Ink Prime Minister" because of his extremely high calligraphy achievements, but this is the same as Zhang Juzheng's "Master of the Prime Minister", which is only a good reputation, not a real finger. Moreover, Zhang Juzheng, as the first assistant of Wanli, did hold the highest power, in contrast, Liu Yong not only did not have the name of prime minister, nor did he have the power of prime minister.
At the same time, it is not credible to say that Liu Yong is a "Luo Pot".

In ancient times, the selection of officials has always been based on the premise of "body, speech, book, and judgment", and the first place is the "body", that is, the form, and if the form is not correct, it is difficult for the official to stand. Liu Yong was a 32-year-old high school scholar, who was not only upright and dignified, but also tall and tall, and in 1958 archaeologists measured according to Liu Yong's remains, his height reached a staggering one meter nine, which was definitely a "small giant" in the Qing Dynasty.
The rudimentary form of the name "Liu LuoGuo" began at the mouth of the Jiaqing Emperor. According to records, the Jiaqing Emperor did once jokingly refer to Liu Yong as "Liu Hump", but at that time, Liu Yong was already eighty years old. Just imagine, Liu Yong is tall and thin, and he has been reading and writing for many years, so it is normal to have a hunchback in his later years, and he cannot be guessed that he was Luo Guo when he was young.

Fourth: Wakan's self-proclaimed "slave" is not maliciously ugly.
In the TV series, Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan usually call themselves "subjects" in front of Qianlong, while He yan calls himself a "slave", and when I was a child, I thought that this was a malicious vilification of He Yan, to highlight his bottomless flattering face, and when he grew up, he knew that the truth was not so.
The reality of the Qing Dynasty was this: only the Manchus could call themselves "slaves", while the Han could only call themselves "subjects". As for the reason, Mr. Lu Xun explained in the essay "Diaphragm":
"This is not because the 'Yan Huang Zhi' is specially preferential and given a good name, but in fact, it is different from the Manchu 'slave talents', and its status is lower than the number of 'slave talents'."
That is to say, calling themselves "slaves" is a privilege given to the Manchus by the Manchu imperial family, representing that they are a family, and the Han ministers who want to call themselves "slaves" do not have the qualifications.
He Yan was a Manchu and could call himself a "slave", and Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan were both Han Chinese, so they could only call themselves "subjects".

Fifth: An unexpected age difference.
In film and television dramas, due to casting reasons and plot needs, Qianlong, Liu Yong, Ji Xiaolan, and He Yan are almost portrayed as peers, but in real history, the four of them have a huge age difference.
The Qianlong Emperor was born on September 25, 1711, and died on February 7, 1799, at the age of 89. Born in 1720, Liu Yong died on January 24, 1805, at the age of 85. Ji Yun was born on August 3, 1724, and died on March 14, 1805, at the age of 82. He was born on July 1, 1750, and died on February 22, 1799 (15 days after Qianlong's death), at the age of 50.

(Stills of Qianlong and Hezhen)
Among them, Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan are four years apart, counting the same age, and the eldest Qianlong is 39 years older than the youngest He yan, which is considered to be a grandson from the perspective of generations. Qianlong was about 10 years older than Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan, and Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan were both nearly 30 years older than He Yan, and they were not a generation at all.
In addition, the Qianlong Emperor, Liu Yong, and Ji Xiaolan all died of high life, while He yan died a short and tragic death. Among them, Qianlong and He yan both died in 1799, and Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan both died six years later in 1805.
