Chapter 122 The Famous Minister's Alternative Face 6
Ji Xiaolan is not "iron teeth and copper teeth"

Recently, TV dramas about Ji Xiaolan and He Shen have emerged in an endless stream.In the play, Emperor Qianlong gets along well with his two courtiers, and Ji Xiaolan never forgets to play tricks on He Shen by making him make a fool of himself in front of the emperor.And when Heshen was doing bad things, Ji Xiaolan was always able to save the day and successfully avoided the revenge from Heshen.In the play, Ji Xiaolan is upright, handsome, witty, free and easy, in stark contrast to the glib, ignorant He Shen.While the audience couldn't help laughing, they were all deeply happy.

However, has Ji Xiaolan really opposed He Shen everywhere in history? Does "Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" reflect the real history?

Looking up historical records, we can find that the plot of "Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" has several discrepancies with historical facts:

First, according to historical records, Ji Xiaolan was "ugly and short-sighted".The so-called "sleeping" means ugly; the so-called "short-sighted" means short-sighted.Zhu Gui, who has been with Ji Xiaolan for ten years, once described him in a poem like this: Hejian Zongbocha, who stutters and is good at writing books.Immersed in the four warehouses, the synopsis is recorded in thousands of volumes.I learned from the poem that Ji Xiaolan still has a stuttering problem.From this point of view, Ji Xiaolan is not only ugly, but also short-sighted and stuttering. These are quite different from the romantic and suave Ji Xiaolan on the silver screen.

What was surprising was that He Shen was known as "the most beautiful man in Manchuria" at that time. It is said that he was tall and handsome, and he was not only a standard handsome man, but also a capable man who was extremely smart, eloquent, and astute. material.He is very good at managing money and collecting money, and he is proficient in four languages: Manchu, Han, Mongolian, and Tibetan. He usually promises to be right, and handles government affairs competently and decisively, which is very suitable for Qianlong. The image of a fat man who behaves a little dull.

Second, in the film and television drama, the relationship between Ji Xiaolan and Emperor Qianlong was very harmonious, and Qianlong trusted Ji Xiaolan very much.So we all came to a conclusion: Ji Xiaolan is the "love minister" of Emperor Qianlong.In fact, this is a misunderstanding. The plot has been beautified by the directors, but the actual situation is not the case.

Qianlong is a well-known "holy master" in Chinese history and an emperor who grew up in a deep palace. He has many unique hobbies.For example, Qianlong had his own selection criteria for his close ministers. First of all, they must be alert, agile, smart and capable, and they must be handsome, young and beautiful.There are many such examples, such as He Shen, Wang Jie, Yu Minzhong, Dong Gao, Liang Guozhi, Fu Chang'an, etc., are among the best "beautiful men", but the ugly Ji Xiaolan meets Qianlong, even if he is brilliant, It is also difficult to get real reuse, difficult to participate in major political decision-making, and can only live and work with words.It means that he can only be Qianlong's "ci minister", but it is difficult to be Qianlong's favorite and important minister.In her life, Ji Xiaolan served as the examiner of the rural examination twice, the examiner of the general examination six times, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites three times, all of which reflected this kind of encounter.This kind of official position has no weight or real power, it is just a display of the Qing court.He has never been an official with real power in his life.

Among them, there is one thing that can prove Qianlong's attitude towards him: once Qianlong sent him to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It’s just a count, and besides, he is not familiar with criminal names and other matters, and he is short-sighted... His mistakes can be forgiven.” It can be seen that Ji Xiaolan’s position in the emperor’s heart.On the contrary, He Shen was favored by Qianlong, from officials to ministers of military aircraft and bachelors.

Therefore, Ji Xiaolan can't fight with the powerful minister He Shen, because he is not a "heavyweight", and Ji Xiaolan has no willingness to be an enemy of He Shen.Because those who oppose Heshen have no good end, demoted officials, exiled exiles, and beheaded beheads.

Third, the ages of the three people in the TV series seem to be about the same, which is not in line with historical reality at all.

According to records, He Shen’s birth and death years were (1750~1799), Ji Xiaolan’s was (1724~1805), Ji Xiaolan was 26 years older than He Shen, and He Shen was born when Ji Xiaolan passed the Jinshi exam, and when He Shen became prosperous , Ji Xiaolan is over 60 years old, and they basically did not serve as officials in the same dynasty.

To sum up, Ji Xiaolan cannot and is not qualified to fight Heshen.
