Life of the characters

Young and different

In 1692, Wang Youdun was born in Changzhou, a Huizhou businessman who was also Jia Yiru. The ancestors moved to Xiuning from Wuyuan, Huizhou. Since the middle of Ming Dynasty, shangxikou (also called Shuangxi) was a Curie. His father, Wang Pinjia, visited Changzhou and continued to marry Gong's four sons and one daughter, including Liangjin, Gongjin, Dingjin and Yuanzhi. Since Wang Youdun became the ninth emperor, he has served as the head of the transfer department, counsellor of the general secretary, censor of supervision, Shaoqing of Taipusi and other senior officials. Under his protection, Wang Youdun was a brilliant young man. At the age of 5, he began to study as a teacher. At the age of 8, when his father recited the serial number of the previous generation, he became plural. At the age of 10, he returned to Shi Xiuning. His first name was Liang Jin, but he was not recorded in Yousi. One night, Wang hengran, his father Meng Liangjin's grandfather, said: "Sun Wen is good, but his name is not in his ears." he changed the word "you dun". Soon, when I tried again, I was among the best. A little bit longer, that is to say, to learn a lot about classics and history. Every time I read a section, I have to study the original text and other schools. Therefore, my knowledge is improving day by day, and my knowledge is far-reaching. He was highly valued by Mr. Cha Nanpu, an old and well-known resident in Tongyi, so he was schemed to be the son-in-law of his brother Cha Jian.

When he was 19 years old, because of his father's visit to Qiantang, he took the test as a business student. He was known as Wu Yuanfu (from Henan Province), a student of doctor's degree. Here, Youdun once served as a guest teacher of Jin Deying (No. huimen), who also became a famous official in Xiuning, and made friends with him. Since then, Wang Youdun traveled to Hangzhou and Changzhou frequently to visit his parents, so he also benefited from visiting famous teachers in Qin Longguang and other places. When he was 24 years old, Hu Huai, a supervisor, promoted his ancient learning to the first place and sent it to Fu Wen Academy. One day, Zhejiang Governor Xu Yuanmeng (a well-known official at that time, proficient in Taoism) went to the academy to teach Zhang xunhuan, President of the Academy. He said: "there are many people in the Academy who are talented. If they are knowledgeable, only Wang Sheng can." As a result, Wang Youdun was extended to Xu Fu.

At that time, one of the guests in Xu's mansion, Liu Dashan, had always been proud and arrogant, but Wang Youdun was in a dilemma. In addition to teaching, Wang Youdun also collected and quoted extensively to explore the theories of Li, Dao and other schools. Especially when he compiled the complete works of Li Wenzhen Gong for Xu Yuanmeng, he also extracted hundreds of poems and articles from them and compiled them as "the essence of Anxi culture". He took Mr. Anxi as an example, which was highly valued by the governor.

begin to display one 's talent

At the end of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Xu Yunmeng was appointed as the chief minister of the Jin Dynasty, so he took the case that he could not travel with him when he was naturalized in Qiantang from Dun as an example, and took the imperial son Jiansheng as the capital. Wang Youdun was able to communicate with he Ximen in Changzhou (Suzhou), Qin Nansha in Wuxi, Wu Wenjian in Qingyang and Chen Dui in Jinjiang. Because of Youdun's deep foundation, the elders have made friends with them one after another. They feel it's too late to meet each other. Even Qian Xiangshu, the famous Xiaolian at that time, and Wu Guanshan of the same county (who later became his in laws) have become intimate friends with them. They communicate with each other and complement each other. In the capital city, Wang Youdun also spent all his time searching and reading. His articles were written by eight schools of thought in the pre Qin, Han and Han Dynasties, and his poems were written by the famous poets in the Han and Wei dynasties, the Six Dynasties, the three Tang Dynasties, and the song, yuan and Ming Dynasties. He not only sought elegance and integrity, but also didn't take care of one family. Therefore, he was able to understand yizhengding and learn well, which laid a solid foundation for the great cause and immortal event of his future life. In the 58th year of Kangxi (1719), he was surprised to learn that his mother had died. Wang Youdun went back home in the starry night. When he arrived in Jiangning (Nanjing), he was caught in a heavy rain and couldn't find a coachman. He was carrying a heavy load on his shoulders and hurried along the road. When he got home on the sixth day, all the soles of his feet were worn out of calluses. At the end of the mourning period, Xu Yuanmeng once again recommended himself as a usurper of the Ming Historical Museum for his "loyalty and knowledge". He was also appreciated by Zhang Tingyu, the president of the Ming Historical Museum and other senior officials, so that before he became an official, he was favored by Emperor Yongzheng to discuss the historical situation. This unprecedented courtesy not only reflects Emperor Yongzheng's good use of talents, but also reveals Wang Youdun's sharp spirit He has a sharp edge. In the second year of Yongzheng period (1724), Wang Youdun was awarded the title of Jinshi in Beijing Lianshi high school as the first in the second grade of palace examination (Zhuanlu). He became a good scholar in the Imperial Academy and was promoted several times. By the 13th year of Yongzheng period, he had already been studying in the Imperial Academy.

unmoved either by gain or loss

In March of the seventh year of Qianlong (1742), Wang Youdun served as the vice president of the joint examination. Together with e Wenduan, the president, he carefully selected 319 Jinshi, including Jin Shengsheng. His third younger brother Wang Dingjin was also selected as Jinshi. The next year, he served as a lecturer at the Sutra feast. Before long, he was granted the Minister of the Ministry of industry and then transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of punishment. Then, he also served as the censor of zuodou in the capital inspection court. Because the work was in accordance with the holy intention, he was given the word "Songquan" in the imperial script, so that he could not forget the emperor's kindness. It was the time to pacify Jinchuan and use troops. There were frequent reports of badminton books and urgent wars. Emperor Qianlong personally took command. Wang Youdun and Chen Wensu of Hunan drew up the imperial edict, which was in line with their will. It is suggested that the military merit of Syria should be increased by three levels, and the prince's division should be increased. In the winter of that year, Zhang Tingyu, his mentor, failed to give thanks in time, which angered Qianlong and made a decree to censure him. In a panic, Youdun immediately made a big bow without a crown, and asked the emperor to take back his order, so as to ask for his mentor's integrity. The next day, when Zhang Tingyu entered the court early in the morning, Emperor Qianlong blamed Wang Youdun for neglecting his words and favoring his teachers and students, so he issued a decree to remove his title of assistant master. A month later, the Emperor gave Wang Youdun Chenghuai garden, which belonged to Zhang Tingyu in Yuanmingyuan. In July, however, he was robbed of his post by the Ministry of officials because of the crime of Zhu Quan (recommended by Wang Youdun), a scholar in Sichuan Province. Emperor Qianlong, who was careful and knowledgeable, ordered him to demote to serve as a minister in the Ministry of war.

In the autumn of 1752, dun presided over the establishment of the capital Xiuning guild hall, and wrote a tablet to record the event. The hall is often full of vernacular sounds and bright lights. In the early winter of the same year, Emperor Qianlong asked about Youdun's family background and gave him a post of "Shiqing kuaixue vs. Shiqing" in the postscript. Wang Youdun ordered his Zhai to be named "Shiqing Zhai" with the word "Shiqing". In 1755, he resumed his post as Minister of the Ministry of punishment, and took the post of "Luanping" in Junggar as an example, adding three grades of military merit. In the spring of the next year, he transferred the Minister of the Ministry of industry and acted as the Minister of the Ministry of officials in November. In the first month of the 22nd year, he was granted the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs. He once again went on a tour to the South and was granted a year's salary. In February, he arrived in Yangzhou and was granted the flat forehead of "Liudian Zhiheng" by the emperor. After taking off and landing for several times, Wang Youdun's style of industriousness and steadfastness was fully displayed.

return home with high honours

In March of 1757, Emperor Qianlong sent Wang Youdun to Hangzhou with the emperor on a tour to the south. On the way, he was granted leave to return home. Emperor Qianlong also ordered Wang Chenghang, the eldest son of Youdun, to accompany his father to return home. Wang Youdun has never been allowed to ask for leave since he ascended the court, and his long cherished dream of homesickness for decades has been realized. At that time, Wang Youdun's other two sons, Wang Chengyi and Wang Chengyi, were detained at home because they returned home to try, and their daughter was also close by because she county's Wu family was married (her husband Wu Enzhao worked in Beijing). As a result, xinxinran family reunion. Huizhou people especially respect their ancestors and respect their ancestors, so visiting ancestral temples and sweeping tombs is naturally a top priority. When Wang Youdun got home, he led his fourth younger brother Wang Yuanzhi and his three sons to respectfully invite the throne of the first Lord into Wang's ancestral hall according to the clan etiquette. I can't help but cry because I can't see the voice and face of the pursuer. I feel especially sad when I remember my second and third younger brother's early death. It was the scene of the villagers and the neighbors of the four townships competing to pay homage to each other and running to celebrate each other that made Wang Youdun feel relieved to return home. In just a few days, he did not forget to talk with his old friends, visited his elders in person, and even more did not forget to express his sympathy to the poor villagers. He also donated his daily salary and the thousands of money given by the emperor to the ancestral hall, imitating Fan Zhongyan's "Yitian legacy", and set up a hundred acres of good land to help the younger generation. He made rules and regulations to support marriage, death and funeral, and entrusted the highly respected members of the clan to take charge.

Dying of a disease

On the fourth day of the first month of Wuyin in 1758, Wang Youdun was on duty in Yuanmingyuan. He felt tired in the early morning of the next day, so he slept for a while, woke up and felt cold, and vomited the next day. On the 14th, the emperor went back to Yuanmingyuan from the city to listen to Fu Xiangguo's Memorial. He was shocked and regretted that his illness had worsened. He sent sun Longzhu, the court officer of Taiji hospital, to see him. He ordered the imperial pharmacy to give the ginseng medicine as soon as possible, and told him to give whatever he wanted. Despite the heavy military and state affairs, he still sent people to ask the third or fourth day of the illness Give digestion food once or twice. On the 18th, the imperial doctor began to play that Wang Youdun was critically ill, and Emperor Qianlong sent the chief servant to comfort him, and gave him a bed. At the same time, he sent a decree to Wang Chenghang not to let his father know, but in case he couldn't, he would use it to be buried. Twenty days later, he stopped taking medicine. In his confusion, he always talked about military and national affairs. In the middle of the night, he heard that the traitor amursana had died and that Russia had offered his body to the Qing Dynasty. Wang Youdun was overjoyed and said on his bed, "I have no hatred if I can hear this letter.". On his deathbed, he called for Chenghang's help to get into his clothes and shoes. When he thought of thanking him, he couldn't get up, so he dictated the general idea. On the 22nd, Wang Youdun passed away in silence. When Qianlong heard the news, he arrived in a hurry. Wang Chenghang was in a panic, and he was in a hurry to hold the gift of Dharma on his father. As soon as the emperor entered the gate, he burst into tears. He uncovered the quilt and examined it for a long time. You are so polite to me that I am present
