After Jiaqing gave He Shen death, what happened to Ji Xiaolan in the end?

I believe that the drama "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" has become a memory in the minds of many readers. In it, Ji Xiaolan uses her wisdom to outwit the corrupt official He Shen, which triggers one after another A profound story, what will be the fate of the two of them?

In the late Qianlong period, Heshen's power could be said to have reached its peak. He was awarded the title of Grand Scholar and First-Class Loyal Lord. His influence in forming cliques and private interests in the court was even more widespread. However, by 1799, As soon as Qianlong died, Jiaqing, who officially took power, issued an order for Heshen to commit suicide 15 days later, and ransacked his property to obtain assets worth nearly 800 million taels of silver.

It can be said that Heshen, who formed a clique to persecute Zhongliang for personal gain, ended up in this kind of injustice. So how was Ji Xiaolan, who was always against him, treated by Jiaqing? Here we must mention the official careers of two people.

Heshen is a descendant of the Eight Banners. His father once served as the deputy governor of Fujian. In 1768, Heshen married Feng, the granddaughter of Feng Yinglian, the governor of Zhili, so his political career was even more complicated. A rising tide lifts all boats. First, he became Qianlong's personal bodyguard at the age of 23, and then he was officially appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of Manchuria under the Zhenglan Banner.

In contrast, Ji Xiaolan had a lot of ups and downs. Ji Xiaolan was 26 years older than He Shen. Starting from 1743, Ji Xiaolan failed to obtain meritorious service many times. In 1950, Ji Xiaolan lost her job due to the death of her mother. He kept his filial piety for a long time, and it was not until 1754 that he passed the second-level and fourth place in the palace examination, and then served as editor of the Sanguan Hall. To put it bluntly, he was a minor official who compiled history books. After that, he first served as the editor of Wuying Palace and the general manager of the Hall of Meritorious Officials. He held many positions including editor, and it was not until 1762 that he became the academic governor of Fujian (similar to the current director of the Provincial Department of Education).

With his own appreciation, Ji Xiaolan was finally appointed by Qianlong. In 1776, he served as a bachelor of Hanlin. However, Heshen, who was 26 years younger at this time, was already the military minister of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the famous scene in the TV series where Ji Xiaolan and Heshen bickered did not exist at all. Ji Xiaolan's position at that time made it difficult for him to have a direct conversation with Heshen. opportunity, and if he really wants to confront He Shen, ten lives may not be enough. However, Ji Xiaolan eventually became the Minister of the Ministry of War in the first year of Jiaqing because of his meritorious service in compiling history books. He finally met He Shen, but there was no conflict between the two. By the time Qianlong died, Ji Xiaolan was already 75. years old.

Jiaqing held Xiaolan in high regard. On Xiaolan’s 80th birthday in 1804, the emperor specially sent people to present treasures to him, and relatives, friends and old officials gathered together to celebrate his birthday. In 1805, Emperor Jiaqing made him the co-organizer of the bachelor's degree and the crown prince's Shaobao, which was also the highest official position. Ji Xiaolan was able to survive, but he didn't have time to enjoy it. Qing history manuscripts mention that Ji Xiaolan died of an asthma attack in his residence in the capital on February 14th at the age of 81.

Emperor Jiaqing was deeply saddened by this, and specially rewarded him with 500 platinum for the funeral. He also personally wrote memorial texts and inscriptions. Because Ji Xiaolan was "sensitive, eager to learn, and capable of writing, and taught him everything in politics," he was awarded " Wenda" title. Jiaqing's attitude towards Heshen and Ji Xiaolan can be said to be very different, forming a sharp contrast. Of course, it includes personal emotional likes and dislikes. Getting rid of Heshen is also a political matter for Jiaqing. sexual needs. The ending is also disappointing.
