Just as small Shenyang can please Qianlong, Gao Shiqi can always read Kangxi's mind and solve Kangxi's difficulties at the right time every time. After a long time, he became Kangxi's inseparable sweetheart, so that Gao Shiqi, who was favored, was busy in front of his house every day, and officials came to visit him in an endless stream every day. These officials are actually much higher in rank than he is. Gao Shiqi can't be a celebrity in front of your majesty. A few nice words can make a person walk smoothly.
One year, Kangxi, Gao Shiqi and Mingzhu, a university student, visited Mount Tai. They stood side by side in a slant hall. Kangxi was in a good mood and asked Gao Shiqi and Mingzhu, "How are we today?" Pearl answered "Three Officials Bodhisattva" with a little thought. When it was Gao Shiqi's turn, he had a brainwave and immediately knelt in front of Kangxi and shouted "Good God". After listening to Gao Shiqi's answer, Pearl broke out in a cold sweat. From this incident, we can see that Gao Shiqi's kung fu in trying to figure out the sacred meaning is perfect, but Pearl University, which is famous for its talent, is far less than it.
There is a temple in Hangzhou called Lingyin Temple, which is also a famous local tourist attraction. When Kangxi went to Hangzhou to visit Lingyin Temple, the monks in the temple were honored to receive Kangxi. When Kangxi was excited, he made a small request to Kangxi, hoping that he could write a plaque for Lingyin Temple. Emperors in the Qing Dynasty all liked dancing and writing ink. Kangxi's grandson, Gan Long, wrote tens of thousands of poems in his life, although he could not get rid of it.
Kangxi decided to show his calligraphy at the request of everyone. Maybe the scenery was beautiful at that time. A group of people greatly satisfied Kangxi's vanity. The excited Kangxi actually shook his hands when he started writing. The word "spirit" he wrote next to the word "rain" is too big to write below. This is embarrassing. So many people are watching Kangxi.
Gao Shiqi immediately pretended to grind ink and secretly spread his palm to Kangxi. Kangxi was overjoyed to see the back of his heart. It turns out that Gao Shiqi wrote the word "Yunlin" in his palm, and Kangxi misspelled the word "Yunlin". Lingyin Temple, also known as Yunlin Temple, is where it came from.
Although Gao Shiqi was a great scholar of literature and history, he was criticized by people for his official position. He used his wisdom to ponder the sacred meaning and flattery. Later, the North Korean cabinet minister Guo Wei and others collected Gao Shiqi's crimes and exposed them. Although Kangxi was interested in defending Gao Shiqi, his officials were so excited that he had to be removed from office to save his life.
