孔飞力在《叫魂》中描述了一次叫魂案中乾隆与官僚机器的互动情况。乾隆由于自己作为统治民族与统治阶级的代表,对官僚机器充满矛盾。一方面乾隆需要借用官僚机器来达成他自己的目的,另一方面,官僚机器并没有完全执行他的命令。而叫魂案的发生则给予了乾隆处理的机会,但是虽整肃了官僚,可并未解决官僚机器问题。 Kong Fei Li in the “call the soul” describes a call the soul case Qianlong and bureaucratic interaction. Due to his own representation as a ruling nation and a ruling class, Qianlong is full of contradictions with bureaucratic machinery. On the one hand, Qianlong needed to borrow the bureaucratic machinery to accomplish his own purpose. On the other hand, the bureaucratic machine did not fully implement his orders. The call of the soul case gave Qianlong disposal opportunities, but although the purging of the bureaucracy, may not solve the bureaucratic problems.
