study hard. After Zeng Guofan became the right assistant minister of does, he was busy with his work, but after his intense work, he still kept on studying and paid more attention to practicality. He paid great attention to "the affairs of the world and the anecdotes in the DPRK", and according to the category number, "there are eight doors in every ten."
Zeng Guofan's investigation and study has a wide range, and he thinks that "fourteen cases of Bai Fan should be studied, which are official system, financial use, salt policy, water affairs, money law, crown ceremony, faint ceremony, funeral ceremony, sacrifice ceremony, military system, art of war, abundant punishment, land and land, and rivers." It can be seen that Zeng Guofan is very serious in reading and pays attention to reading useful books.
do things seriously. At the beginning of Emperor Xianfeng's accession to the throne, he issued a letter to "ask for words", welcoming ministers to give advice to the court, and "all matters concerning the employment and administration of the country must be truthfully stated and sealed." Zeng Guofan was in a very excited mood. He worked hard day and night and wrote a letter "I should make a letter to Chen Yan Shu". In this memorial, Zeng Guofan wrote out his thoughts and thoughts after becoming an official in Beijing. He raised the issue of talents, as well as the four common problems of officialdom, that is, retreat, pettiness, perfunctory, and awkward. This letter of the throne made Emperor Xianfeng praise Zeng Guofan and realized that Zeng Guofan was very serious and responsible.
Another thing is that Emperor Daoguang left a will, and he didn't need a suburban match until his spiritual position was too late. This made Emperor Xianfeng very embarrassed. It was unfilial not to follow the will, and it was unreasonable to follow it. So he asked the ministers to discuss it, and most of them said it was a cliche and suggested that things should be done according to the usual practice. However, Zeng Guofan did not follow suit, but after careful consideration, he put forward his own suggestions, saying that Emperor Guang's will should be partially obeyed and not completely ignored. In this recital, Zeng Guofan explained his views in detail and logically. Zeng Guofan said that it is certain that Emperor Daoguang will enter the ancestral temple, and there is no reason for any emperor not to enter the ancestral temple after his death. However, there is a certain truth in "no need to match the suburbs". Emperor Daoguang considered that the building scale of the Temple of Heaven was fixed, and more altars would be occupied. This is why Emperor Daoguang set an example and considered the long term. In this way, both the customary ceremony and the emperor's will were followed.
Because of this incident, Emperor Xianfeng appreciated Zeng Guofan even more, and he also knew that Zeng Guofan was serious in everything and constantly gave him new jobs. As a result, Zeng Guofan once had five parts.
Zeng Guofan was able to accumulate a lot of money because he studied hard. Because of his earnest work, Zeng Guofan was highly valued by the emperor. Be serious, you will succeed, instead of the popular saying "Be serious, you lose" on the Internet. I want to say "Be serious, you win".
