The 300 taels of silver in Qipinzhi County in the Qing Dynasty were sent by mistake, and after 8 years, they were promoted to five levels in a row, becoming a pin feudal official
The old man often says, 'Good and evil will eventually be rewarded',' and perhaps some people, after experiencing human feelings and sophistication, although they do not believe in this sentence, they still agree with the truth of this sentence in their hearts. In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, an incident that happened to the literati Wu Tang perfectly confirmed this saying. After Wu Tang was examined, he entered the dynasty as a Qipin County Order, which was originally like this at this time, but because of a good deed of yin and yang, he laid a good cause for his future, and eventually became a feudal governor in the late Qing Dynasty, whose status was like Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang.
In 1813, Wu Tang, who was born in Mingguang, Anhui, did not have favorable family conditions, and even more miserable than the people around him, and could not even afford to use lamps and candles for many years. But Wu Tang has been very fond of reading since he was a child, and whenever night falls, Wu Tang will snuggle up in front of the window and read with the help of the brightness of the moonlight, and during the day, Wu Tang will put down his books and help the family to do farm work to increase their income.
It's just that Wu Tang is indeed very talented in reading, even if the learning conditions are very difficult, but at the age of 27, he passed the examination and became a famous local talent. For this meritorious name, Wu Tang was already satisfied, and no longer decided to continue to pass the entrance examination, after all, the family conditions were too difficult, and the family still expected Wu Tang to eat, so after taking the examination, Wu Tang had the intention of entering the dynasty as an official.
Although during the Qing Dynasty, after a person entered the dynasty as an official, he could only achieve the official of zhengsanpin at most, but this was not important to Wu Tang, who took the meritorious name, in addition to being loyal to the country, was to strive to change the status quo of the family. So in 1849, wu tang was 36 years old at the time, and the big pick was an official selection examination held by the imperial court for those literati who had meritorious names and no half-job.
In this examination, Wu Tang ranked first with excellent results, and was eventually appointed by the imperial court as Taoyuan Zhi County of Zhengqipin, during his tenure as Zhi County, Wu Tang was not only diligent in government affairs, but also made the development of Taoyuan County prosperous. Subsequently, Wu Tang was appointed by the imperial court as Qinghe Zhi County. In 1853, Hui Zheng, a Taoist member of Guangtai Dao in Ningchi, Anhui Province, died of illness in Zhenjiang, accompanied only by a young woman.
In order to send their father's coffin back to their hometown, the two daughters went around raising money and entanglements, but in the end there was not enough for the road, and finally delayed in Qinghe County. At this moment of great embarrassment, he suddenly received 300 taels of silver sent by Wu Tang of the local Qinghe Zhi County to send 'Old Friend'' as a memorial gift.
People often say ''People go tea cool'', at this time, Hui Zheng, as the head of the family, is still ill and dies, and there is only a pair of orphan girls left in the family, and I am afraid that there will be no more days in the future. But this Qinghe ZhiXian not only did not care, but took the initiative to send Silver Two to help ''Old Friend'', which made Hui Zheng's two daughters thank you very much and swear! In the future, we must repay this benefactor well. But this is actually just a misunderstanding, because Wu Tang's 300 taels of silver was actually to be given to a Daoist surnamed Liu, but the two families' funeral boats were too close, resulting in the people running errands sending them to the wrong place.
After Wu Tang learned of this matter, not only did he not blame the next person, but even personally went to Hui Zheng's spiritual hall to worship, and instructed the two girls of Hui Zheng to live well in the future as an elder. For this misunderstanding, Wu Tang planned to help a victim by hand, but what he never expected was that Hui Zheng's eldest daughter was actually the future Empress Dowager Cixi.
Eight years later, the Xianfeng Emperor of the Qing Dynasty had died of illness, and the power of the entire imperial government was concentrated in the hands of Cixi alone. The orphan girl of that year has the ability to repay the benefactor of 8 years ago. After some inspection, Wu Tang was finally found. At this time, Wu Tang had already been appointed by the imperial court as a member of the Zhengsipin Xuhai Daoist due to his outstanding performance, and Cixi subsequently ordered Wu Tang to be transferred to a more important position.
Because of Wu Tang's outstanding performance in various positions, he was promoted five ranks in a row by Cixi in an extreme time, from a Zhengsipin to a Jiangning envoy from Erpin, and finally when he retired due to illness in 1876, he also served as the Qing Dynasty Congyipin, the governor of Sichuan and the general of Chengdu, a veritable feudal official.
