今天在看Beatrice S. Bartlett 关于court-letter-rosters的论文，竟然发现莽鹄立给康熙画遗像的这段内容还被人yy了一下：
The names of Cha-pi-na, A-ch'i-t'u, and T'e-ku-t'e were listed in the rosters following the names of the inner deputies. Two other men—Mang-ku-li and Hai-wang—appear occasionally in the court letters that have survived. Mang-ku-li came from an old family of the Bordered Yellow Banner; his grandfather had made distinguished contributions in the conquest era. Mang-ku-li began his own career as a scribe (pi-t'ieh-shih ) in the Court of Colonial Affairs; later, as salt censor in Tientsin, he submitted a number of worthy suggestions. He moved around a lot, never rising very high, and was briefly involved in Tibetan affairs in YC6 (1728). His inclusion in two discussion rosters in YC9 (1731) and again in YC10 (1732) is difficult to explain on the basis of available evidence. After K'ang-hsi's death, Mang-ku-li was asked to draw a portrait of the deceased emperor from memory; he did so, and the result was hung in Yung-cheng's residential palace.[54] Possibly filial appreciation led the emperor to attempt to work Mang-ku-li into the high-level discussions. As for Hai-wang, he was junior to these others—his years of prominence in government finance came in the early Ch'ien-lung reign. But his career began under Yung-cheng, when he was first entrusted with financial responsibilities in the Imperial Household and at the Board of Revenue.[55] He was included in the court letter deliberations because of his profound understanding of finance.
