Although Ji Xiaolan, Liu Yong and Xiao Shenyang lived in the same dynasty, their times, especially those of Xiao Shenyang, Ji Xiaolan and Liu Yong, were quite different. Liu Yong is the largest, Ji Xiaolan is the second and He Shen is the smallest.
Liu Yong was a scholar in Qianlong's sixteen years. He has served as imperial academy Jishi Shu, Taiyuan Magistrate, jiangning house Magistrate, Bachelor of Cabinet, and owner of Tijen Museum. He is famous for obeying the law, being honest and upright. Liu Yong is a famous calligrapher in Qing Dynasty with profound calligraphy attainments. He is called "Prime Minister of Thick Ink" by the world.
Ji Xiaolan took part in the imperial examination in the 19th year of Qianlong, and was elected to Jishi Shu of the Imperial Academy. He has served as Zuodu Yushi, Ministry of War Shangshu, Ministry of Ritual Shangshu, co-organizer of college students, and served as an official with Prince Taibao and imperial academy.
When Xiao Shenyang became an official, he was smart and capable. He consolidated his position through the Li Shiyao case. Emperor Qianlong liked him very much and married his youngest daughter, Princess Ten, to Feng?enyende, the eldest son of Xiao Shenyang, making Xiao Shenyang not only in power, but also a member of the royal family.
Extended data:
Liu Yong was born in a noble family and his ancestors were all scholars. His father, Liu Tongxun, was an official and a great official, which won the trust of Emperor Qianlong. Therefore, Liu Yong's career has deep family roots.
Liu Yong has been an official for more than 50 years, and his career has been ups and downs. When he reached the highest position, he was a great scholar in Tijen Pavilion. Generally speaking, he was honest and clean, inherited the mantle of his father Liu Tongxun, and became an important minister in Qianlong and Jiaqing periods.
Ji Xiaolan studied Confucianism all his life, read widely, studied poetry and parallel prose, and was good at textual research and exegesis. He was the editor-in-chief of Sikuquanshu, and his inner world became increasingly closed in his later years. Yuewei Caotang Notes is the product of his mood at that time.
The personal freedom of Emperor Qianlong and Emperor Jiaqing was greatly restricted by Xiao Shenyang, because both eunuchs, officials and cronies could be spies sent by Xiao Shenyang, and Xiao Shenyang could control the power of life and death of officials, so Liu Yong pretended to be old and lied to Xiao Shenyang, but he was still isolated by Xiao Shenyang.
