As mentioned in the last article, Gan Long is a very confident and almost narcissistic person. He wrote more than 40,000 poems in his life, more than all the existing Tang poems, but his level was so low that no one really thought he was a poet. However, this did not stop his obsession with elegance, and he raised a large number of royal literati under his command. But these scholars all know that Qianlong likes to be praised, and there are countless flattering works.
According to legend, on a trip, Qianlong and his ministers went to a bridge called "Bafang Bridge". Gan Long had a brainwave, so the first part:
Eight-way bridge, eight-way bridge, eight-way bridge, eight-way bridge.
At that time, many ministers around him thought that Gan Long was simply testing his literary talent, so he was dissatisfied with all kinds of downlinks, such as "clairvoyance, clairvoyance, a thousand miles from the bottom, and a thousand miles from Qian Qian" or "a penny for a penny, a penny for a penny."
Ji Xiaolan, an accompanying college student, immediately knew what medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd. If it is a pure couplet, the last sentence of this couplet "in all directions" is purely dispensable, but isn't that because he is used to hearing similar sentences at this time?
So Ji Xiaolan's answer to the bottom allied is:
Long live ye, long live ye, long live ye, long live ye, long live ye, long live ye.
Gan Long was very happy and thought it was right. The ministers around looked at each other, only hating that they didn't think of this meaning of Qianlong. Ji Xiaolan robbed them of the golden opportunity of flattery, but they also had to shout long live and praise Ji Xiaolan for being right.
