What does Teacher Weng mean by telling Fortune _ Weng Ming?

Weng Tonghe, Guangxu's teacher, was particularly angry and reminded himself to sit still.

Weng Tonghe was a famous minister in Sun Yat-sen's period and a teacher of Emperor Guangxu. He used to wander in the highest decision-making circle. Kang Youwei was entrusted with an important task, which was the result of his recommendation. Therefore, Weng Tonghe was mistaken for a "reformer" for quite some time, and he was later ousted, which was also misunderstood as the result of persecution by the "post-Party".

But in fact, the political aspects of Weng Tonghe are quite complicated. He can command power not because of his outstanding achievements, but because of his status as an imperial envoy. The trust of Emperor Guangxu was his only resource, so Weng Tonghe had a strong sense of rivalry. On specific issues, he often looked at Italian and have it both ways, and his position was extremely erratic.

Before the Reform Movement of 1898, Weng Tonghe's position was not stable because he was a firm "supporter" of the Sino-Japanese War. As a result, the Qing army was completely defeated, and the achievements of the "Westernization Movement" for many years were wasted, and the Qing Empire fell into an unprecedented crisis. Weng Tonghe's main battle was not based on his understanding of the facts, but he saw that Guangxu wanted to use this battle to expand his power, so he voluntarily satisfied your wish. In addition, Weng Tonghe was selfish and deliberately used this to shape his historical image of loyalty, tenacity and uncompromising.

After the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War, Weng Tonghe tried his best to avoid responsibility, blaming Li Hongzhang for the failure, thinking that Li Wei could take over the battle, and even proposed to behead him. In addition, he also said that Empress Dowager Cixi used naval military expenses to build the Summer Palace. In fact, the Beiyang Navy did not add an inch of boats for many years, which was entirely the result of Weng's waste of relevant funds, but it poured sewage on Cixi's head, so it was deeply hated by the "post-party".

But in the end, Guangxu decided to recall Weng Tong. First, Guangxu was in close contact with Kang Youwei at this time. As a recommender of Kang Youwei, Weng Tonghe slandered Guangxu in order to win favor, which was really unwise and left an impression on Guangxu. Second, Weng Tonghe claimed to be an imperial envoy and was rude to Guangxu. According to the records at that time, Weng Tonghe once threw an inkstone at Guangxu in a dispute with Guangxu. Although it missed, the ink splashed on Guangxu's clothes. Although this is an isolated case, Weng's arrogance should be an open secret.

So why is Weng Tong so angry? We used to interpret him from his personality, but from his diary, there may be diseases.

Weng Tong was ill all his life. 18 years old suffered from severe foot disease. "Liver disease" tortured him for most of his life, even stinging all night, and he couldn't sleep well. Although he was treated in many ways, there was no obvious effect. It is worth noting that his father Weng Xincun also suffers from "liver disease", which is characterized by tinnitus and dizziness. Weng Tong's tinnitus is serious in his later years. It can be seen that Weng's father and son suffered from severe hypertension. When Weng Tong was born, Weng Xincun was over 40 years old, and Weng Tong lacked breast milk when he was young. Instead of rice soup, he has a family history of hypertension, plus congenital deficiency, Weng Tong's health can be imagined.

The pressure of officialdom is relatively high. Weng Tonghe has high blood pressure and the treatment is not good. He often takes tonics such as ginseng, and Weng Tonghe has many recreational activities. His illness worsened because of overeating. These factors add up, and Weng Tong is particularly angry. In his diary, there are many records of being angry with concubines and servants.

Weng Tong also saw his own problems clearly, so he often went to the temple for fun and always reminded himself to "sit still", but at the critical moment, he still couldn't restrain his emotions and finally had to go out.
