Ji Huang was a famous water conservancy expert in the Qing Dynasty and was also famous for his calligraphy. At that time, the powerful minister He Shen was in the same dynasty as Ji Huang. This man was a member of the Manchu banner and the Niu Hulu clan. During the Qianlong period, he was promoted from a bodyguard to a minister of household affairs, and also a minister of military aircraft. He was promoted to a scholar of the Wenhua Palace and was granted first-class merit. During his tenure, he planted party members for personal gain, recruited power and accepted bribes, and his misdeeds were widespread. Intimidated by his power, no one dared to openly challenge him. In order to express his admiration for Ji's calligraphy, He Shen sent people to beg for books. Ji Huang was originally unwilling to write a letter for He Shen, but he could not refuse, so he painstakingly designed to deal with him. One day, Ji invited several people from Hanlin to have a drink in the hall. The boy came to the banquet and reported: "Master, I have invited you. The paper and ink for writing a book for Master He Shen are ready." Ji was very embarrassed after hearing this, and scolded him: "I am entertaining guests, how can I leave the table to write a book?" All the guests gathered together. He said: "I am happy to watch your master's writing in order to imitate and learn from it." So Ji Huang said: "I am showing my embarrassment when I am a low-ranking official." He wrote with a brush in front of the guests. Just halfway through, the boy held the inkstone in both hands and accidentally spilled ink on the paper. Ji Huang wrote and got angry and rebuked the book boy. When the guests saw this, he persuaded him to calm down and stopped. The next day, Ji Huang went to Heshen's mansion to apologize and said: "I only defeated Gong Jiazhi." In fact, it was the master who ordered the book boy to rewrite the ink, and the several scholars invited were all under Heshen's sect, so that they could hear and witness the report. He Shen made him believe it. This little-known anecdote is recorded in "Guochao Xianzhengshilue" by Li Yuandu of the Qing Dynasty.
