Life of the characters

Reading with my father

Zhao Yi was born in xiganli, North Bank of Yanghu, fuyanghu County, Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province on October 22, 1727. His father, Zhao Weikuan, made a living by setting up a private school and teaching. He was hard to support his family and lived in poverty.

In 1733, Zhao Yi, a six-year-old, went to school with his father. From then on, he began his study career, and then he stayed with his father in Huadu bridge, Jiangzhuang bridge and other places. After Zhao Weikuan's careful teaching, Zhao Yi's literary talent has begun to show.

In the third year of Qianlong (1737), Zhao Yi, a 12-year-old, studied with his father in tangmenqiao Tan family hall. When his father ordered him to write essays, he was amazed that he could achieve seven arts in one day. After reading his works, Zhao Weikuan thought that he would not worry about writing in the future, but he had not read all the four books and five classics. Therefore, Zhao Yi's study should focus on reading the classics.

In 1740, Zhao Yi moved to hang Yinglong's home in dongqianqi with his father. In the same year, he began to study, and his writing was often unexpected. However, Zhao Yi had a natural preference for ancient poetry. However, poetry was not included in the imperial examination at that time, and Zhao Weikuan banned poetry for fear that it would hinder his studies. Zhao Yi often does it in private.

Library preparation

In 1741, Zhao Weikuan died. Zhao Yi's family is even poorer, lonely and unable to support his brothers and sisters. Because of Zhao Yi's excellent schoolwork and pity for his situation, the hang family left him to continue teaching. Zhao Yi was more in love with ancient poetry and prose, which led to the gradual neglect of his studies. Later, his eight legged prose was not as good as that at the age of 14 or 15. Hang Yinglong discovered this phenomenon in time and said to him, "how can you get rid of poverty if you don't study Bagu for fame?" So he hired Zhao Yi to teach his young son Nianqi, and asked him to write essays with his eldest son Xingchuan and second son Baifeng.

In 1745, at the age of 19, Zhao Yi went to Chengjiang Academy in Jiangyin to take the entrance examination in the children's examination. He was admitted to Changzhou University by Cui Ji, a Jiangsu scholar. According to the previous practice, candidates for the second round of the political examination will enter the school palace. However, according to the standard, 25 students should be admitted to Fu Xue. In the same year, 86 students were admitted to Fu Xue in the re examination. They had to take another examination. But Zhao Yi this second round examination, without adding a point, can become the scholar smoothly.

In the spring of 1746, Zhao Yi stayed at Shi Yichen's home in the east of Yanghu city and was able to read all the books in tianchixuan library. In the same year, Zhao Yi consulted Zhao yongxiao, a professor of Fuxue, many times.

In 1747, Zhao Yi set up a museum in the north gate of Yanghu. He took part in the local examination and failed.

Ten years' journey

In 1749, when there was a famine in Yanghu, Zhao Yi was dismissed from his private school. Hunger and cold forced him to leave home and go to his relatives in the capital. After arriving in Beijing, Zhao Yi was known by Liu Tongxun, Minister of the Ministry of punishment and head of the Imperial Academy, for his literary talent. Liu Wenzheng went to his home to compile 36 volumes of the history of the imperial palace of the state.

In the autumn of 1750 (the 15th year of the reign of Emperor Qianlong), Zhao Yi, a businessman with the surname of Gu, tried to be a member of the Qianlong North list. Wang Youdun, the chief examiner, admired him very much and wanted to promote Zhao Yi to Jieyuan. However, he had no choice but to write four books in the first place, so he had to be ranked twenty-one. However, his talent was highly valued by Wang Youdun, so Zhao Yi, as a teacher of the Ministry of rites in the winter of the same year, ended the compilation of the history of the imperial palace of the state, and was immediately employed by Wang Youdun to read his second sons Chengshu and Chengshu, and wrote for Wang. Wang's family is rich in books, and Wang Youdun himself is deeply versed in literature. Zhao Yi's ancient prose has been taught by Wang, and his skills have become increasingly exquisite. However, the teaching and learning of the Ministry of rites is an idle job, which gives Zhao Yi the opportunity to read a large number of classics, and provides a very favorable condition for the further improvement of his knowledge and the development of his official career. During this period, although Zhao Yi failed three times in the examination, he finally took part in the Ming Tong list in 1754, and won the Cabinet Secretary for liberal arts and science. In the next year, he was given a supplementary teaching to Zhongshu Sheren.

In the summer of 1756, Zhao Yi entered the Department of military aircraft. At this time, the Qing government launched a military expedition to northwest Junggar, and military documents were frequently sent back and forth, which provided a good opportunity for Zhao Yi to emerge. Because Zhao Yi was able to make thousands of words in an instant, he was deeply relied on by Yin Jishan and Fu Heng. When he was in charge of the emperor, sometimes he could play when he sat on the ground. Most of the words written by Wang Youdun and his entourage ministers were entrusted to Zhao Yi, and almost no memorial was written by Zhao Yi.

In the 26th year of Qianlong (1761), Zhao Yi took part in the examination again and won the first place. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong had not won the first prize in Shaanxi Province, so he exchanged with Wang Jie, a native of Shaanxi Province in volume three, and Zhao Yi only won the first prize. Zhao Yi is deeply worried about this, which is a lifelong regret. Every time I borrow poems to express injustice. After exploring the flowers, Zhao Yizhong was awarded the Imperial Academy to compile the general plan of pingzhungeer, which laid a solid foundation for his profound attainments in history.

Beijing official career

In the 27th year of Qianlong (1762), Zhao Yi was listed as a first-class Taoist official in Beijing Chazhong. In autumn, Zhao Yi, Jiang Shiquan and others were appointed as the same examiners of shuntianfu rural examination, with more than ten people including Jiang Zhen.

In March of the 28th year of Qianlong (1763), Zhao Yi was appointed as the examiners of the examination. He was awarded 11 titles, including Dong Chao, Zhu Delin, Xiang Qing, Gong Fuwen, Li duo and Fei Chun. In April, Zhao Yi came in second place in the examination of Sanguan, only Emperor Qianlong asked for advice and submitted his poems to the emperor.

In the spring of 1765, Zhao Yi, the provincial chief examiner in Beijing, was still the first. In the autumn of the same year, he served as the chief examiner of Shuntian military examination.

Kaifu District

In November 1766, Qianlong summoned Zhao Yi in Yangxin hall. While affirming his working ability, he was promoted to the magistrate of Zhen'an prefecture (now Debao county), Guangxi. This matter greatly surprised Zhao Yi. He wanted to use "not familiar with official affairs" as a euphemism, and even asked master Heng to play for him. When Emperor Qianlong met with Zhao Yi, his reply was: "scholars can't handle affairs originally. You have been in the military aircraft office for a long time, so you can handle affairs better. Guangxi is a place where government affairs are simple and people are honest. When you first arrive, you should pay attention to practice. You will naturally become a good official in the future. " So far, Zhao Yi had to leave Beijing in December with his family.

At the beginning of July in 1767, Zhao Yi took office in Zhen'an. At the beginning of his term of office, he inspected the territory and observed the sufferings of the people. At that time, due to the purchase of horses to supplement the Yunnan army, the relevant departments replaced the old small baskets with large baskets. The people are full of complaints. Zhao Yi allowed him to return to the old basket to accept grain and abolish the bad government. The people are grateful to him, and they often travel and rush to carry Zhao Yi across the village with their shoulders. In his second month in office, Zhao Yi went to Annan to arrest the fugitives. When Wei tuobao, the former governor, was in office, some Zhen'an people and Annan people were entangled with each other and went to tufu Prefecture of Yunnan Province to make trouble. After the incident, nongfufeng fled to Annan. Because of this, Wei tuobao was frequently dismissed. After Zhao Yi came to Zhen'an, he learned that Nong Fufeng was dead and his son Axi was a slave. So they sent someone to catch ah Xi and bring his father's coffin back together, which was proved to be correct. In view of this, Zhao Yi sent a letter to his superior, requesting the case to be closed. Unexpectedly, Li Shiyao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, only allowed ah Xi to be convicted, but refused to admit that the coffin was for the dead of the farmer. He thought it was a trick to let Wei tuobao return to Beijing. In Zhao Yi's view, both the body and the living people have been found, and the trace is certain. If the body is false, the case will never be closed. So he defended Wei tuobao again. The next year, because the case was not settled, Zhao Yi went to Guilin, the provincial capital, to inquire. He heard that Li Shiyao came to Wuzhou to supervise the military affairs in Burma, and then went to Wuzhou to present himself to Li Shiyao for a reasonable debate. Li Shiyao was furious on the spot. Zhao Yi wants to impeach. At that time, the court ordered Zhao Yi to go to Yunnan as a counselor of military affairs. Li Shiyao pursued the robber back. Zhao Yi survived.

In May 1768, Zhao Yi left Zhen'an, crossed Bonan, Lancang River and Yongchang. He followed the army out of Nujiang River, over Gaoligong Mountain, through Longling and Tengyue, toured Nandian, qianya, Zhanda, Mangshi, Zhefang chieftains, Huju, wanchu, Tiebi and other customs, looked around the situation, inquired about the military situation, and left a large number of travel poems. In the barracks, Zhao Yi had many plans, which was relied on by the curtain master a GUI.

Qianlong 34 years (1769), returned to Guangxi Zhen'an Fu as the original.

In March of the 35th year of Qianlong (1770), the magistrate of Guangzhou was vacant. Li Shiyao wanted to win over Zhao Yi, so he sent song Qiyuan, the Zuojiang Dao, to disclose the news of the vacancy to Zhao Yi, and told him that as long as Zhao Yi pleaded with Li Shiyao, Li Shiyao would recommend him to the imperial court. Zhao Yi is quite disdainful of this and refuses sternly. Because Zhao Yi didn't ask in private, Li Shiyao sent Wu Jiuling, the magistrate of Wuzhou. just
