There was a minister in the Qing Dynasty, who had a low education but was repeatedly promoted by the emperor, and resigned 23 times in his life!
When the feudal dynasty continued to the Qing Dynasty, the power of the Son of Heaven reached its peak, so there were countless officials in the Qing Dynasty who dedicated their lives and could not enter the central frontline. However, in the Qing Dynasty, there was such a strange minister, he was appointed as the inspector of Anhui at the age of 45, but the holy will was not yet warm, but he wrote a letter of resignation to the Qing court overnight, which first listed a large number of his shortcomings, and then on the grounds that the war was tight and inseparable, the emperor was moved to a mess. It was no accident that he resigned from office and did it 23 times in his life.
Peng Yulin, this person is the representative of the Xiang Army's water division, Zhang Zhidong wanted to worship the teacher in his later years. Although his current fame is not very big, he is a fierce general who surprised the world at that time! When the Xiang Army Marine Division fought with the Taiping Army in Wuhan, he played his own strengths and disintegrated the enemy to pieces, and when the Sino-French War broke out, he was 67 years old, originally Li Hongzhang was transferred to the front line as a governor, but he wanted to enjoy his old age and did not want to go, so Peng Yulin, who was idle in the countryside, took the initiative to ask for war, went to the frontier to stabilize foreign troubles, and in the two victorious wars of the Qing Dynasty, he contributed a lot.
In fact, judging from the record, Peng Yulin has been repeatedly promoted by the Qing court, which is understandable, but his academic qualifications are often taken by colleagues to talk about things, how strict the Qing Dynasty's examination system is, I will not say more, you can refer to our current college entrance examination. And Peng Yulin was screened by the examination system of "scum of learning", the highest degree is only through the county school, and we now have a high school education, but people with such a low education have been promoted to governor, inspector, and governor, which can only be said to be the ancestral grave of the Peng family.
According to historians, Peng Yulin formally resigned his post 8 times when he was not fighting, and requested dismissal and return of household registration a total of 15 times. He is considered to be a different kind of Qing court official, people who do not understand him think that he is self-righteous and high-minded, and people who have had friendships with him know that he is a straight man, and when the country cannot use him, he never wants to occupy a little resource of the state, so Peng Yulin is basically diligent and thrifty in this life, and even the money left to his descendants is not, he once wrote a letter to his uncle, he said that the money sent to the family is mostly used on the poor people, and from his own Weibo savings, he took out a part of the school to cultivate talents, which is considered to be his own "'academic qualifications' 'A pity for this piece.
In the context of such a chaotic era in the late Qing Dynasty, it was actually the time when Peng Yulin's wizards were shining, why did he refuse the imperial court's offer and resign from the government repeatedly? In addition to the previous statement that he was indifferent to fame and fortune, there is also a saying that Peng Yulin is not concerned about his career because he is delayed by love. Legend has it that every time Peng Yulin returns from a war, he likes to paint plums on the spot, and his works can even be as famous as the bamboo of Zheng Banqiao! And his favorite plum blossom is actually ''a person'' ~ ~ Peng Yulin lived in his grandmother's house when he was a child, and there was a woman named Mei Gu. This woman is about the same age as him, but the generation is higher than him, under the shackles of feudal etiquette, the two failed to come together, and later this woman married, and died in childbirth, which became the eternal pain in Peng Yulin's heart, he called himself a 'fool'', and liked to draw plums, had to make people speculate, he was an iron-blooded tender lover...
Throughout the ages, everyone wanted to be an official and seek to be prominent and rich, but Peng Yulin did not want fame and fortune, but only sought fame and honor, and was considered the most bizarre official in the late Qing Empire. Then again, academic qualifications have been very important since ancient times, do you think that in today's society, can you still get ahead without academic qualifications and relying only on ability?
