Doing nothing, not doing nothing, staying idle every day, like the kind of petty bureaucrat in the office, a cup of tea, a stack of newspapers, the day passed calmly.

Inaction is not chaotic, it is a dumb person eating dumplings, counting it in his heart. The good emperor and the bad emperor are very busy, and the worse ones may be even busier, inspecting that one, receiving this, but the good emperor is busy with ideas.

In fact, what did every emperor do and how did he do it, the documents in the history books can be whitewashed and dressed up, and they can be sloppy, but the bright-eyed people are clear in their hearts.

The same is true of the great monks in the temple. The abbot is not necessarily a great monk, he is not a leader, and everything follows.

In some literary books, it is not appropriate for abbot to practice in retreat for ten or twenty years to practice his own unique kung fu.

The temple wall collapsed, and the little monk went to the nun, but he didn't know it. The great monk is not negligent in his temple.

In the two words of inaction, there is a point that is very tight, that is, to understand what cannot be done. To understand what not to do is to establish one's own awe.

Some inappropriate things were done at the time, maybe they were helpless, or they had to do it because of the situation, but it would be awkward for a lifetime.

Zeng Guofan's mentor was Mu Zhang'a. Mu Zhang'a is a servant of the emperor, and he also has the dirt of foreign slaves, but there is one thing that is remarkable, that is, he discovered Zeng Guofan.

Zeng Guofan is a big man who has been through the heavens and the earth, but he has an ordinary background, and his talent is only human when he was a child, and he is basically a stupid child.

23-year-old Xiucai, the next two will not be the first, 28-year-old tribute student, Mu Zhang'a is the main exam that year, he appreciates Zeng Guofan's test-taking essay, recommended to Emperor Daoguang, by the palace examination top three 42 by Daoguang Ye Jian as the second place in the first class of the court examination, given the same Jinshi, awarded the Hanlin Academy Jishi.

That incident that became Zeng Guofan's heart disease was the first time

"Phi Huang Grace" happened. After Daoguang listened to Mu Zhang'a's recommendation, he summoned him, and Zeng Guofan knelt in a house for most of the night, but what he waited for was to cancel the summons.

Zeng Guofan didn't have a score in his heart, so he ran to ask Mu Zhang'a for advice. Mu Zhang'a asked him what was in the house, and he said that the house was empty and only the words hung on the back of the dragon chair, but he didn't dare to look at it.

Mu Zhang'a privately asked Yinzi to find the eunuch on duty and learned that it was the "Great Qing Ancestral Training". When Daoguang met again, Zeng Guofan had memorized the "Ancestral Teachings of the Great Qing Dynasty" very well.

Hong Chengchou was an important minister in the late Ming Dynasty, and later Shunqing, and was famous

"Second Minister". Hong Chengchou was born in Quanzhou, Fujian, and has worked in Shaanxi for many years, serving as the governor of Shaanxi, the governor of Yansui, and the governor of the three sides

"Suppressing bandits", capturing Gao Yingxiang alive, defeating Li Zicheng several times, and after the Northeast was tight, he was transferred to the governor of Jiliao. In 1642, after the defeat of the Songshan army, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and helped the Qing army to march all the way south, with outstanding achievements.

In 1659 at the age of 67

"Eye disease" stepped down and returned to Beijing. He died in 1665, and he set up a monument and buried the Beijing Division. Hong Chengchou did not dare to see his hometown in his later years, nor did he dare to see his old friends.

There was a poem at the time that satirized him

of the "Second Minister",

"The bones of Songshan have not completely dried up, and then the famous Tiger Talisman will be built. In the end, the wind and sand are easy to get old, and the white head crosses to the south and the south."

There is a passage in "Records of Experiences in the Qing Dynasty": Hong Chengchou had a teacher named Shen Tingyang when he was young.

"Seeing that he was poor, he extended it to his home,...... That is, the class inherits the domain, so the inheritance is virtuous, and the taste calls Shen as an uncle. "When Hong Chengchou went south, Shen Tingyang

"Scatter all the family wealth", trying to reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore sight. After being captured by the Qing soldiers, Hong Chengchou went to see him.

"One hundred and five (Shen Tingyang) pretended not to know and said: My eyes are blind, who are you? Hong said: The little nephew is also Chengchou, how can my uncle forget? One hundred and five shouted: Hong Gong has received great favor from the country and has been martyred for a long time! Who is it, who wants to trap me unjustly? He tugged at Hong's shirt and pulled a large number of his cheeks. "Doing nothing is going with the flow.

The way of heaven will be self-sufficient, and the way of heaven will be far away. Nature's acquiescence is accomplished. When doing something unnatural, be sure to consider the consequences.

Thinking about others is one level, and thinking about how you will face this matter is another.
