Wang Su's "Prodigy Poem" says:
"Everything is inferior, only the reading is high."
Nowadays, in the selection of talents in our country, it is generally "
Every entry is a must
”。 The most important thing is nothing more than the college entrance examination that almost everyone has to go through. The college entrance examination can be said to be crucial for every family, and it is a legitimate way to judge whether their children can go to a good university and what their future prospects are.
In ancient times, there was actually this kind of selection method. In the past, in order to select talents who could be used for themselves, emperors used the imperial examination method to screen talents.
At that time, the imperial examination could ask the only way that the poor could be reborn and seize the opportunity to change their lives. Those who had won the title in the imperial examination basically later went on to live a life of abundant food and clothing, glory and wealth. However, in the history of the Qing Dynasty, there was actually a champion, he was born poor, but after obtaining the first title of the champion, his future life was still poor, which can be called the poorest leader in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
This was the poorest ruler in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and his name was Luo Chengjun. When it comes to Luo Chengjun, we may have the impression that when he took the imperial examination, it was actually during the Guangxu period. At that time, many talented people present answered the question very well, but why did the Guangxu Emperor take a fancy to Luo Chenghua?
This is actually mainly because of Luo Chenghua's final finishing touch, which he wrote at the end of the answer sheet."
The Lord is troubled and humiliated, and the Lord is humiliated to death
The 8 words deeply touched the heart of the Guangxu Emperor at that time, making the Guangxu Emperor can't help but shed tears. Finally, the Guangxu Emperor directly appointed Luo Chenghua as the Champion.
First, he passed on to others in his early years and was brilliant from an early age
In Luo Chengjun's early years, his family was very poor, and he was not originally surnamed Luo, his nature was surnamed Li. At the age of seven, his mother died of illness, and Luo Chengjun actually grew up with his father. However, due to the very difficult conditions in his family at that time, Luo Chengjun was eventually passed on to a couple surnamed Li and became their sons, thus changing their surname to Luo.
At that time, it was very expensive to want to go to school, but because Luo Chengjun showed his intelligence from an early age, that is, his later stepfather was very willing to ask the teacher to let Luo Chengjun study at his own expense. Luo Chengjun also did not live up to everyone's expectations, in the township test of Sichuan Province, Luo Chengjun once stood out with the third place in Sichuan Province. In the next two years, he passed the examination in the imperial examination and directly passed the jinshi examination, until the final temple examination, he was hand-picked by the Guangxu Emperor as the champion at that time.
At that time, the temple examination that Luo Chenghua participated in was actually different from the usual temple examination. Because the Qing Dynasty at that time had actually been deprived and invaded by the great powers, and at that time Japan had already defeated the Beiyang Marine Division. Although Empress Dowager Cixi at that time no longer bowed to the government, she did not actually give her real power to the Guangxu Emperor.
Combined with the above historical background, the Guangxu Emperor at that time was very eager to show his ability, so he was very forced to find a group of talents who could help him govern the country. In this way, the content of their temple examination at that time was actually different from the content of previous examinations, and the test was no longer the so-called book knowledge, but the policy discussion on current politics.
Third, the last 8 big characters on the examination paper of Luo Chenghua Hall touched the Guangxu Emperor and were directly hand-picked as Champions
This completely lost hope for those who were bent on studying only at home, and Luo Chengjun was still full of confidence at that time, because when he was preparing, he not only studied at home, but he was also very concerned about the country's policies and rise and fall. Therefore, when he replied, he actually had his own full insight into the national situation at that time.
Just when he was ready to finish answering the questions and handing in the papers, when he saw the Guangxu Emperor's face full of sorrow, he deeply felt the mood of the Guangxu Emperor at that time, coupled with his own understanding of the rise and fall of the country, so that Luo Chengjun finally wrote 8 big words at the end of his answer:
The Lord is troubled and humiliated, and the Lord is humiliated to death.
That is, these eight words made the Guangxu Emperor directly understand what Luo Chengjun wanted to express at that time, which also let the Guangxu Emperor know that Luo Chengjun was the person he needed to find. Only Luo Chengjun can understand what he thinks in his heart and the real situation in this country. Later, the facts also proved that Luo Chengjun really did not live up to the expectations of the Guangxu Emperor.
After Luo Chengjun became a crown official, he spent the rest of his life working for the rejuvenation of the country. He did not pursue any glory and wealth and high-ranking officials, but always maintained incorruptibility and frankness. Therefore, after Luo Chengjun became an official for many years, his family was still very poor, so the people called him "
Cloth shape
”。 Because he was also the poorest in the history of the Qing Dynasty."
Champion
”。
Luo Chengjun died of illness at the age of 61. Every household in the area was hung with a white belt, and almost thousands of people sent him off.
