Ji Xiaolan - the Life of a Romantic and Talented Man

During his decades of official career, Ji Xiaolan relied on his sharp intelligence to accompany the emperor and maximized the value of a scholar. He was honored and favored and occupied all the glory in his life. He does not have a prominent family, nor is he a relative of the emperor. He relies entirely on his righteous and extraordinary skills in serving the emperor to win the emperor's favor. Like a good fisherman, he approached the target bit by bit and threw bait bit by bit. Finally, Qianlong realized that he was a rare talent, and he became a close minister of the emperor. Ji Xiaolan's lifelong philosophy of life is to turn all the power in the world into one's own power. He knows that borrowing something is a small borrowing, and borrowing a situation is a big borrowing. Only those who are good at borrowing strength can level the ground and raise the wind and thunder. He has his own set of rules and tactics, handles the situation skillfully, welcomes and detracts from others, serves the emperor with both talent and charm, and is upright in government. His official experience can be briefly summarized in the following points: First, the backer must be found accurately. He understood that without a backer, it would be difficult to move forward in the officialdom. When choosing a backer, you must be discerning and accurate. Don't choose villains, don't choose mediocre people, and don't choose people who don't get things done. Second, look at the general trend. When Qianlong ascended the throne, Ji Xiaolan resolutely and a group of upright ministers sided with the new emperor Jiaqing. Third, don't indulge your material desires. "A fat heart is the first thing that brings disaster." Only by maintaining a restrained and prudent attitude towards material desires can we not leave any clues for the enemies who are watching in the dark. Ji Xiaolan has many strategies for becoming an official. I believe those who have read this book will definitely gain something.
