In the autumn of the 9th year of Jiaqing (AD 1804), Ji Xiaolan occasionally caught a cold and could not stay in bed for several days. This is unprecedented in his life, which surprised his descendants in Beijing and made them be caring and attentive around the bed. One day, Ji Xiaolan took a nap and dreamed that Dai Li stopped him when he was walking, which made him unable to move forward. After waking up, he recalled what Dai Li had shouted in prison before he died: "I will sue you in the underworld!" " "I can't help wondering: Is my time up? So he called the third son Ruxiang, the fourth son Ruyi and several grandchildren to the bed and said to them, "I joined the Hanlin at the age of thirty-one, and it has been fifty years now. When I compiled Siku Book, I could read all the books in the world. The ups and downs, difficulties and obstacles in the world are well known. There are a few words you should remember. " At this point, Ji Xiaolan paused and then chanted: "Poverty is not enough to break books, and wealth is not enough to enter the salt line; Don't be a slave, don't be greedy. " After singing, he asked, "Do you remember?" The children and grandchildren agreed with tears one by one.
When Emperor Jiaqing learned that Ji Xiaolan was ill, he ordered the doctor to go to Jifu for treatment. But the disease was just a false alarm, and Ji Xiaolan will be able to appear in court again soon. On the 16th day of the first month of the following year, Gifford ushered in a great event-Emperor Jiaqing issued a letter to Ji Xiaolan, who was appointed as the minister of does, co-hosted the university students, and the prince was in charge of imperial academy affairs.
On February 10, Ji Xiaolan fell ill again. When his friend Zhu came to see him, he took Zhu's hand and said, "Don't worry about me, my dear friend. The same old question. My mouth is full of phlegm, Zhu power amplifier heart! " 14, Ji Xiaolan was critically ill, with weak breathing and groggy. When he turned on the lantern, he woke up from his lethargy and was very excited, but he knew it was a sign of a return to life, so he said to Ruxiang and Yiru, who had been at his bedside, "It is common sense for the world to be born and die. Being a father is eighty-three, even if he dies, it can be called the end of life. Don't be too sad. Be thrifty at funerals. Last time I was ill, I said everything I needed to say. Remember, I will be relieved to tell it to my descendants. "
When your daughter-in-law saw that her father was awake, she cooked a bowl of lotus seed soup. You took it, put it in your hand and fed it to him with a spoon. Ji Xiaolan only drank half a bowl as a sign not to drink. He cleared his throat and said slowly, "I think of a pair. Right? " Before his sons could answer, he had sung: "Lian (pity) has pains." With that, he leaned back on the bed and closed his eyes. When you look at his father dying, he can't bear to be right, but he doesn't want to violate it. He had to stand aside and pretend to be thoughtful. Ji Xiaolan opened his eyes slightly, and his voice became weaker and weaker: "Why not ... yes ... yes:' Pear (transcendental) son ... his abdomen is very sour ..." "Then he closed his eyes and died.
Upon receiving this bad news, Emperor Jiaqing immediately sent a detong-led 10 bodyguard to pay homage, and gave Dalagni a quilt, 500 taels of silver and "Wenda". According to Ji Xiaolan's will, the funeral is very simple. The funerary objects are only a string of beads, a jade hat and helmet, his Yin He, jade cicada and some other items.
