How outrageous is the real Ji Xiaolan in history? Greedy and lustful, Qianlong mocked him like a clown.
On the other side of many historical celebrities I mentioned earlier, the response is not bad, today I will talk about a historical figure in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, who has been beautified by TV dramas as a genius through the ages, a gentleman, and a first-class minister, this person is Ji Xiaolan in the Qianlong period. Actually, we've all been deceived by the TV series. This Ji Xiaolan is not only not a gentleman, but a very inferior villain, and his biggest hobby is lustful.
If you want to say that Ji Xiaolan really has a bragging resume in his last life, then this guy, who has been an official for more than 50 years, can be said to have a smooth career, and he can get his hands on Qianlong to compile the "Four Libraries Quanshu". When compiling the Siku Quanshu, his official position also reached its peak, that is, the official book of the imperial court. The Ministry of Rites, at that time, was a proper civil official, who did not participate in political affairs at all, and played with a pen.
Ji Xiaolan is indeed very smart, when he was 20 years old, he took the first place in the foreign exam, but because of his pride and complacency, he took the fourth place in the Jinshi exam, and it was not until he was 31 years old that he was admitted to the Jinshi again. In the 33rd year of Qianlong, in order to highlight the prosperity of the world, Qianlong recruited people to compile the "Siku Quanshu", and when he was looking for candidates, he found Ji Xiaolan, so he asked him to preside over the compilation.
Ji Xiaolan lived for more than eighty years, he has two hobbies in his life, the first is eating, he likes to eat meat, since he became an official, almost every meal has meat, he eats pork, and when he eats meat, he never eats other vegetables and rice, eats meat and eats all-you-can-eat, this is a miracle, he prides himself on being a carnivore. Maybe because of the reason that the meal is not separated from the meat, at what time, in the era of very low medical standards, it is a miracle to live to be 80 years old.
The second hobby is lustful, to what extent is lustful? It can be said that he is a lust for life. If you don't get close to a woman for a day, your eyes will be red. And he's not a problem with the five daughters of the day. When he was compiling the Siku Quanshu, Qianlong asked him what reward he wanted, and he actually asked for a palace maid with good looks.
Historical records record that Ji Xiaolan has a total of six concubines, plus a wife, he has seven women, it is said that Ji Xiaolan will be naked and cracked if he is not accompanied by a daughter overnight. He said that when a woman goes to water, she can only be moisturized by soaking in water. When he was in his fifties, he took a concubine who was less than twenty years old. Truly achieve what Su Shi said: the realm of a pear flower pressing begonias.
To say that Ji Xiaolan's wife is very generous, knowing Ji Xiaolan's habits, not only is she not jealous, but she also took the initiative to give Ji Xiaolan a concubine, so their family is very harmonious.
In our current TV series, Ji Xiaolan is written as a clean official who enforces the law impartially, but he, a civil official, doesn't even have the opportunity to participate in politics, and once he wrote to advise Qianlong. probably talked about Qianlong's *** thing, but was scolded by Qianlong, and never dared to discuss state affairs again.
