A joke about Ji Xiaolan and Shenyang.

"Assistant minister is a dog" and "Shangshu is a dog"

1. In the Qing Dynasty, Ji Xiaolan and Xiao Shenyang were both North Korean officials, Renji was an assistant minister (official name) and Xiao Shenyang was a minister (official name).

2. Once, when they were drinking together, Xiao Shenyang pointed to a dog and asked, "Is it a wolf or a dog?" It means "assistant minister is a dog".

3. Ji Xiaolan is very alert. Knowing that Xiao Shenyang was scolding himself, he quietly replied, "The dog is upright and the wolf is upright." . It means "Shangshu is a dog".

Shenyang tried to scold Ji Xiaolan with the homonym of "Wolf" and "Assistant Minister", but Ji Xiaolan hit him back with the homonym of "Shangshu" and "Shangshu".
