Peach Tree Fortune Telling _ Fortune Telling Tree Life

This month, I finished reading Zeng Guofan's History-Me off and on for nearly 9 hours. Let's sort out the contents of this book first and use it as the material for subsequent memory exercises.

1, first sight of Daoguang Emperor

1840, Zeng Guofan served as Jishi Shu of imperial academy, and his three-year internship period expired, waiting for the appointment of Daoguang Emperor after the interview. His colleague, Liu Xiangdong, who is also Jishi Shu of imperial academy, appointed Hunan as the alternate magistrate; Bai Dianyi decentralized Hubei alternate magistrate of a county; Chen Xia let Jiangxi alternate magistrate of a county; Hongyang Guangxi alternate magistrate of a county. Because there is no relationship and money, only Zeng Guofan has no landing. After waiting for a long time, Daoguang summoned me and asked me: What is the first meaning of being an official? Lian. The answer came to Daoguang's heart, and then at the age of 30, he was awarded an examination position by the Hanlin Academy, from Qipin.

During the review in the Hanlin Academy, the poem "It's useless to eat and sleep" attracted Daoguang's attention. When Daoguang inspected the Imperial Academy, he found his clothes worn and patched, knowing that he was clean and had a good impression on him. Because the family is relatively poor, life is still relatively difficult, and there is no spare money for the boss and colleagues, so I wrote a notice and refused to participate in official entertainment. Therefore, a large number of officials, such as Evonne, a bachelor in imperial academy, and Zhan, a junior in Zhan City, offended their immediate superiors and were demoted to imperial academy for alternate review. During this period, I was laughed at by my colleagues. Under the guidance of Tang Jian and Woren, I began to calm down and write a diary, The Shadow of the Gap, in which I constantly reflected on myself and cultivated my heart in this way.

2, rose to level 4 overnight.

It coincides with the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and the National Day is held in Beijing. Seeing officials collecting money for the National Day, Tang Jian, the minister of Taichang Temple, told them: People are in officialdom, water is clear, there is no fish, and officials are jealous. When they reach his age, they should learn to retreat quickly.

During the state banquet, Daoguang asked me to refuse to attend the minister's dinner. Because the answer is correct, "The emperor is the Lord of all peoples, the master of the Great Qing Dynasty, and the empress dowager is the wife of the empress, so I must attend the birthday banquet of the emperor and empress dowager." I am deeply appreciated by Daoguang. 1843, I was promoted to Zeng Guofan's lecturer in imperial academy, and Master Zhan came from Wupin, aged 33. One of the reasons for being promoted to the fourth grade is Daoguang's appreciation, and the other is the recommendation of Zhang Mu Ahe, a university student, and the Qing Tang Jian of Taichang Temple.

Zeng Guofan moved from Changsha Guild Hall to Qianmen Neimian Hutong after he was promoted to Assistant Lecturer of Hanlin Academy. At this time, I received 500 taels of silver from Mu Tong. I wanted to put in a good word for the examiners in Zhejiang province, but I refused to accept money, only verbally promised to help. Due to this process, Bobby Chen, the valet recommended by He Ying, a senior minister of the Ministry of Finance, mishandled it, embezzled a few taels of silver and took it to drink. Zeng Guofan thought that he had a bad style and bad habits, so he fired Bobby Chen, offended He Ying, and hired Chow Sang as a concierge. Be kind to servants and have dinner with them at the same table. He Ying, an old minister, thought it was against the dignity of honest officials and took part in this activity, which was criticized by the emperor as "English confusion".

After Zeng Guofan was promoted to five grades, his father, Zeng Linshu, made a vanity problem and suggested to his grandfather, Zeng Xinggang, to renovate the old house at home and rebuild several houses. Grandpa Zeng Xinggang held a thrifty attitude and kept the house without permission, saying that when he became an official, his family could not show off. Zeng Guofan has always been influenced by his grandfather: to be an official is to be a good official like Bao, and farming is to have a good harvest for a hundred years. Because Zeng Xinggang was diligent in managing his family, relatives in the village misunderstood his family, saying that his grandson became a big official in Beijing and pulled money from home every night, but on the surface he pretended to be poor and was complained by the villagers.

This year's appraisal, zeng guofan ranked first and second, he was ordered as a lecturer, studying in imperial academy, still from five products. Later, he was appointed as the examiner of Sichuan Examiner by Daoguang, and the assistant examiner was Evonne, a bachelor of four products from Hanlin. It is the first case in Qing Dynasty that the examiners from Wupin were the examiners after the provincial examinations and the examiners from Sipin were the deputy examiners. After getting the 2000 Cheng Yi of the imperial court, I sent a letter to my hometown to give back to my relatives and family. Later, the emperor appointed him to inspect the people's feelings of officials along the way to Sichuan, and the emperor gave him an extra 2000 taels of silver.

3. Take away corrupt officials on business trips.

On the way to Sichuan, I was protected by Taishun and Taizhuang, the security guards of the ouchi. I passed Baoding and saw many drought-stricken refugees. After Daoguang ascended the throne, there was a great drought in the world, and I couldn't help thinking, "Is it true that Suining was reincarnated as a fire dragon?" . Then enter Pingyuan County, Shandong Province. In order to make money, Pingyuan county issued a ban: businessmen can't sell in the street in the afternoon, and passers-by can't play in the street at night. If found, it will be fined 10. In this way, it is difficult for people to raise funds. Zeng Guofan was cautious when he was away from home, so he asked Changshun to return to Beijing and report to the emperor through Su Shun. As a result, Pingyuan County magistrate was beheaded, and Shandong Governor Lin Kui (recommended by He Ying and Zhang Mu) was dismissed for investigation. Here, I met Bao Chao (he is the main force of Xiang). Continue to Kaifeng, Henan. Because of the book "On Gong Jin", I met Peng Yulin, and got the "Ice Guide" from the fortune teller, which punished Zhang Bao, the general manager who ran amok in Kaifeng. This man is a relative of Guiying, a judge in Henan Province, so I offended Guiying.

4. Kill the hidden rules of officialdom

On the outskirts of Kaifeng, the soldier Zhang Bao stopped Zhang Bao, Changshun and Taizhuang interrupted Zhang Bao's hands and feet, and then entered Luoyang from Kaifeng. After entering Luoyang, he was put into prison for more than ten days because of the joint false accusation of Henan Governor Chun, provincial judges and Lian Changqing. Later, the emperor ordered the removal of,, and Qing, and the governor of Henan was replaced by the political envoy E Shun 'an, and Zeng Guofan 1000 silver was given as a consolation. Starting from Luoyang and passing through Nanyang, I visited Zhuge Liang in Wollongong and got Zhuge Liang's ancient book "Gangwon". Then enter Danjiangkou and sail to Sichuan via Hubei. The route to Sichuan introduced in the book feels wrong, but it is not too much pursuit. After all, it has a romantic nature.

When he arrived in Jianyang, Zhang Dianyuan, the magistrate of Jianyang, asked him how to deal with the disappearance of the Yi people. Zeng Guofan told him that his countermeasure was to "bury the Yi people's bodies on the spot, then pretend not to know and drag on." When Evonne arrives, they will enter Chengdu together. Bao Xing, Sichuan Governor and Sichuan Provincial Governor, and Huang Zhong, Sichuan Minister and Provincial Judge, warmly received them. Recommended by Baoxing, a plaster for relieving tinea was obtained from Sichuan drugstore. Later, he inspected the examination room after the rural examination, and provided ice water for the candidates to cool off during the rural examination, which won wide praise from the Sichuan people and made suggestions for Huang Zhong on the disappearance of British foreigners. The key to dealing with this matter is one word, procrastination. Then leave Sichuan and return to Beijing.

5, gift-giving skills

After returning to Beijing, he was awarded the right hybrid of Master Zhan's right spring workshop, in the fifth grade. Zeng Guofan gave Tang Yin a "ChristianRandPhillips Bamboo Fan" bought from an antique shop in Sichuan (Tang Yin seldom painted shrimps, and it seems that he only ordered it twice in his life. This fan is one of them, and it is used to give Chou-heung in ChristianRandPhillips). Zhang Mu was very happy and told him that the emperor was in a bad mood recently, because the queen was ill and her stomach was swollen (this disease is rarely said now, but it was said to be a disease of Chinese medicine after searching online). When I got home, I received a 2000-log instrument from Sichuan Governor Baoxing, and then took the ancestral pills for treating Qi disease to the palace for sacrifice. I asked her to cook the medicine herself. The queen's condition deteriorated sharply after taking the medicine, and she was thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, causing her ringworm. Until the morning, the queen's condition improved, and the emperor made her breakfast and rewarded Zeng Guofan with a month's sick leave.

During my holiday in Guobao Temple, I met the abbot of Guobao Temple, a real elder, Jiang Zhongyuan (the main general of Xiang Army). After the holiday, I learned that my father, Zeng Linshu, my brother, his wife and children were coming to Beijing to visit relatives. Then, I got the right hand print of Master Zhan of imperial academy Bachelor's Department from the four products. During this period, Li Hongzhang and Guo Songtao learned from Zeng Guofan.

6. Seal the Zeng family.

After Zeng Linshu arrived in Beijing, he was just catching up with the auspicious day of the queen, and the emperor gave the official family. Zeng Guofan obtained the three-axis imperial edict from the government with three products, and named his grandfather Zeng Xinggang and his father Zeng Linshu as doctors with three products, his grandmother and mother as doctors with three products, and his wife Ouyang as doctors with three products. My father wanted to visit imperial academy, but Zeng Guofan refused, so it was against the laws of the Qing Dynasty. Later, with the help of Jiang Zhongyuan and Chen, Zeng Linshu visited imperial academy through an adult Baylor and made a wish.

7. What about people who offend badly?

Li Chungang, a rich man in Baoding, was robbed of books, and some people cried foul. Daoguang let Zeng Guofan handle it. Through many explorations, it was found that Baoding magistrate was instructed by Baoding general and Ange, the son-in-law of the county king, and framed Li Chungang through the operation of his courtiers Wanfu, and then joined hands with Changshun and Mei. (The future Emperor Xianfeng) laid hands on Master Wen around Ange, found out Ange was corrupt in selling officials, colluded with the western regions to return to the king, and bought a large number of guns and cannons for him, which was suspected of rebellion. This thing is very beautiful and deeply loved by Daoguang Emperor.

Later, he was appointed as the second deputy director of the renovation project of the Confucian Temple. The supervisor is Kuang Zheng, assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the first deputy supervisor is Wen Qing, a bachelor of imperial academy. I handled this matter, did my duty, found corruption and rectification, and denounced the rectification through impeachment by Duchayuan. Lao Ren tried to blackmail and rectify this matter, but he was cheated by rectification. So Zeng Guofan offended rectification, was impeached by rectification, and was reduced to imperial academy for review, from seven to four. Master Zhan's right Chunfang handprint was taken over by Evonne. After being cheated, Lao Ren impeached Zheng Zheng. The emperor discovered that Zeng Guofan had been framed, so he was promoted to be a junior deacon of imperial academy Zhan Shifu and a junior official of Dali Temple.

8. Refuse to meet officials in his hometown.

Zeng Guofan took a month off after being promoted to Master Zhan, a junior deacon, and lived in Guobao Temple. Talk to Zuo. Zuo is here to take an exam. When he heard that Zeng Guofan was an examination paper minister, Zeng Guofan was familiar with his stereotyped writing level because of their friendship, and Zeng Guofan's meticulous style, he knew that he would not leave Beijing this year. In this exam, student Li Hongzhang ranked fifth and was awarded the title of Jishi Shu of the Hanlin Academy.

After the exam, Zeng Guofan learned that his grandmother had died and went back to his hometown to attend the funeral. Daoguang specially wrote Immortality of Virtue. During the period of mourning in the countryside, I learned from Luo Zenan and Liu Rong that Xiangxiang County Magistrate Zhang Ye was a fish and fish man, who was Zhang Mu and Changsha magistrate Liu Xiangdong was helpless. Before he left, Zeng Guofan asked Luo Zenan and Liu Rong to find Liu Xiangdong and forced him to impeach Zhang Ye.

9. The more senior officials who violate discipline, the more they investigate.

The reason for the water leakage in the tomb buried with the Queen is that He Ying and Qi Jun made fake marble made of cement and lime to fool Daoguang Emperor into corruption, and the recent rain caused the water leakage. The emperor ordered Zeng Guofan to assist Zhang Mu in the relocation and reconstruction of the mausoleum, and Zeng Guofan handled the matter dutifully. Later, I received four words written by Daoguang: respect, honesty, diligence and reform. These eight words are the principles of Daoguang Emperor, and Zeng Guofan was greatly moved.

Due to the outbreak of lichen disease, he went to Guobao Temple and found his boss, Jia Ren, an official of Dali Temple. He always claimed to be a master of Neo-Confucianism and recruited prostitutes in the temple.

Beijing Guancha, Zeng Guofan rose to Taichang Dianqing, Duchayuan left vice capital, with the doctrine. When Douchayuan reported for duty, Du Shoutian, the master of the upper study and deputy imperial envoy, was jealous of his rapid promotion, deliberately picky and scolded Zeng Guofan for no reason. When he was appointed as the left deputy envoy of Duchayuan, he routinely searched brothels at night and found out the official documents of Langzhong and others.

Zeng Guofan learned from Zuo that Zhang Ye had framed his death, so he went to Daoguang to impeach Zhang Ye, and Daoguang ordered him to handle Zhang Ye's case in Hunan as an imperial envoy, with official documents attached.

10, 37-year-old officer to level 2

As an imperial minister, I first went to the Governor's Office of Niu Jian, Governor of Huguang, and found that this official was bent on serving the Buddha, ignoring political affairs and impeaching Niu Jian in the official document. As a result, Niu Jian was removed from the post of Governor of Huguang and replaced by Governor Tao Shu of Hubei. After arriving in Hunan, Yutai, the governor of Hunan, devoted himself to Taoism, using monasticism as an excuse, and needed more than a dozen women to serve every night, which was euphemistically called alchemy. As for Hunan's political affairs, no matter whether they are asked or not, officials are typical inaction. So Zeng Guofan wrote to Daoguang, demanding that Yu Taihe and Hunan Governor Zhang Ye be punished (thus offending Zhang Mu), and soon the imperial edict demanded to return to Beijing quickly.

It turns out that there are contradictions between Guangdong natives and British people. Zhang Mu strongly recommended Zeng Guofan to deal with this thorny issue, and the emperor ordered him to be the governor and right deputy capital of Guangdong and Guangxi. Later, he was appointed governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Zeng Guofan was appointed bachelor of cabinet, assistant minister of does, and deputy director of Zuodouchayuan. Zheng erpin is 37 years old.

At this point, the book "Zeng Guofan's Family History-Part I" has been roughly finished.

Attached is Zeng Guofan's chronology of this period.
