Since Jiaqing Emperor took office, Wang Jie has served as the minister of records, and he has always spared no effort to remonstrate with the emperor, who has given him preferential treatment and respect. In the spring of the eighth year of Jiaqing, Wang Jie sent a letter to the emperor, in which he said: "The disadvantages of deficit in the national treasury in various places began after forty years of Qianlong, and all states and counties were trying their best to give gifts, using all the money in the national treasury to curry favor with their superiors. Therefore, their superiors are caught by their weaknesses and controlled by them, and they want to make up for the deficit (of the state treasury) in the foreseeable future. Subsequent senior officials know that they advocate integrity, but the situation of some subordinate counties is still very embarrassing. Because the bitterness and happiness in different places are not evenly distributed, they can't tell the good from the bad, so we should seek ways to rectify them. According to the past system, Yi Cheng was in charge of the post office and had nothing to claim. Since the decision to belong to the counties, unlimited expenses and harsh apportionment have made officials and people at all levels miserable. We should first clean up and rectify the post office in order to put an end to the loss of the state treasury. Now is the time when all the military affairs are finished, and the court tries its best to find a way to govern. There is nothing bigger than these two. Please (Your Majesty) consider making your own decisions in order to reverse the long-standing bad situation.
What Wang Jie said hit the nail on the head, and the emperor happily accepted his advice. Give him a poem written by the emperor himself to make his behavior appear glorious. Among them, there is such a poem, "Go straight to a temple with a corridor, and the wind will return to Hancheng with two sleeves." At that time, everyone thought that this poem was enough to sum up Wang Jie's achievements in his life. After returning to his hometown, the emperor gave him a constant reward on time every year. Every time Wang Jie wrote a letter, the emperor personally replied, in a tone just like that of his family.
Wang Jie is not taller than the average person, and he is amiable, but he has integrity. He served two generations of kings and won the trust of the monarch by virtue of his loyalty and integrity. Before he retired, a man named Chen De alarmed the emperor in the Imperial Palace, so he hurried to the court and suggested, "Chen De is just a humble cook, how dare he deliberately rebel casually?" This must have been instigated by a villain behind him, and the evil around him should be eliminated immediately. " In the eighteenth year of Jiaqing, after Lin Qing rebelled against the Party, Emperor Jiaqing thought of these words of Wang Jie and specially paid a memorial service to him.
