Qin Dashi was brilliant and trusted by Emperor Qianlong. He was very happy in his later years, because he worked well in the literary and artistic posts in the Qing Dynasty and his career was booming.
His highest official position is Bachelor of Work-study Program. This position originated in the Tang Dynasty. In the Qing dynasty, it was a four-level official position. It doesn't look very high, and it doesn't have much real power, but the number of places is limited. The Qing dynasty stipulated that there were three bachelor's degrees in Manchu and Han, and they became two bachelor's degrees in Manchu and Han during the Qianlong period, with a total of five people.
Therefore, it is more difficult to be a bachelor than to be a minister of military affairs. For such a literary youth, it is already the glory of the ancestors.
But this Qin Dashi also encountered some embarrassing problems, that is, his surname. His surname is Qin, Qin, but at that time people naturally thought of another big traitor instead of a big hero. Qin Dashi is also quite speechless and innocent.
Gan Long deliberately made things difficult for Qin Dashi.
According to Qin Dashi's genealogy, his ancestors and Qin Gui were able to reach a certain relationship. His ancestor's name is Qin Zi, and he is Qin Gui's brother. This man was a famous official in the Song Dynasty. When he learned that his younger brother had changed from an anti-Golden Eagle to a traitor who betrayed his country and sought glory, he was ashamed to associate with Qin Gui, so he lived in seclusion in the mountains. Therefore, Qin Zi enjoys a high reputation in history.
Qin Dashi's ancestor was this very famous official, but many people still think that his ancestor was treacherous court official Qin Gui. The most embarrassing thing for Qin Dashi, even dangerous, is that when he was admitted to the top scholar and met Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong asked him an embarrassing question.
