Everyone knows that the Qing Dynasty was the last dynasty in my country's feudal history. Especially in its last years, the court was politically corrupt and the people were in trouble. But it is not difficult to find that even in such a bad environment, there are still a group of loyal and capable officials, such as the very famous Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang. Although the two are both important ministers of the imperial court, their relationship is very tense. They are almost enemies who meet on a narrow road. There are many interesting things between them. ?

The two of them are the kind of people who dislike each other and are about to have a fight. This state is not temporary. Since the relationship was formed, It seems that there has never been a good relationship between the two. Lao Zuo looked down upon Lao Zeng very much. Of course, this matter had to start during their scientific examination. Although Zeng Guofan knew many great philosophies about how to deal with people, he was not very good at reading when he was young. In today's words, he is a complete scumbag.
On the contrary, Zuo Zongtang is a real academic master, who usually studies very hard. But God always seems to like to joke. Lao Zeng must pass every test. From scholar to scholar to Jinshi, he always passes the test. But Lao Zuo, who usually has good grades, always fails every test. His heart is extremely unbalanced. This Liangzi had earlier I have made a knot in my heart since the year.
Later, the two became colleagues, and it was inevitable that they would have to negotiate, which also caused more conflicts between them. Many days have passed, and Lao Zuo still can't stand Zeng Guofan. He had three pleasures every day, besides eating and sleeping, he also scolded Lao Zeng.
Some people resent others because they only think so in their hearts and do not show it. He is different. He scolds openly and even without paying attention to the occasion. Sometimes he would curse Zeng Guofan in front of his subordinates. The generals who did this were speechless and helpless. After all, many of these people were people who had followed Zeng Guofan.
As subordinates, they can't refute Lao Zuo on the surface, but in their hearts they already have a lot of complaints, "If you say you want to scold me, just scold him in person. He keeps nagging in front of us." "It's useless." But it's strange that even though he was disliked by the old left, Zeng Guofan didn't fight back until his death. Maybe this was his philosophy of life. ?

Later, Zeng Guofan passed away, and many relatives and friends came to express their condolences, including Zuo Zongtang. But the Zeng family felt helpless! When you come to express your condolences, you must present an elegiac couplet. Logically speaking, the elegiac couplet given by you should be hung up, but the elegiac couplet given by Lao Zuo is bound to have nothing good to say. Should you hang it or not?
Zuo Zongtang's elegiac couplet was sent to him: the first couplet reads: "Knowing people wisely and seeking the country with loyalty, I am ashamed to be inferior to Yuan Fu"; the second couplet: "Together we are like gold, our mistakes are like stones, and we will live up to our expectations throughout our lives." . It was not until the relatives saw the signature of the elegiac couplet that they felt relieved. The two big characters "Late Born" written clearly made the family burst into tears. Finally, the boss recognized Zeng Guofan, which shows that this is a great respect!
