Chapter 20 To the Ninth Brother, Li Di: You must quit being arrogant and lazy

【original】 About Yuan Jidi: Brother Yuan took my responsibility for it, blamed himself for the pain, and went through the crisis, but thought about it and moved forward on the road of prudence. Being able to do this is the way for my life to carry blessings, and my family is also lucky!Brother Ji's words are also flat, gentle and elegant, far better than the arrogant and lazy atmosphere of previous years. On the 2nd day of November in the 19th year of Daoguang, I went to Beijing to leave the museum. On October 28th, I served my grandfather Xinggang in front of the steps. Please say: "This time I am going to Beijing, I ask you to teach me a lesson." Said: "Your official is endless, you are the best, but don't be arrogant, full of damage, cheap benefit, if you don't do it, it will be better!" .Now I would like to recount this statement and warn my two younger brothers, always take the character of eliminating Ao as the first meaning. The villains of Tang and Yu are called Dan Zhu Ao, Xiang ② Ao, Jie and Zhou have no way, they are said to be strong enough to resist remonstrance, and to distinguish enough to embellish No, it is said that there is already a destiny, and it is said that respect is not sufficient, and both are arrogant.

Since I came out again in June of the eighth year, I have tried my best to avoid arrogant characters to prevent the disadvantages of Wuheng, and recently I have also tried my best to avoid lazy characters.Before Huizhou was defeated yesterday, Ciqing could not help but have a self-righteous view in his heart. After the defeat, Yu Yi became more vigorous. About the military defeat, he must be either arrogant or lazy.The failure of a rich family is either pride or laziness, and the two must be one of them. The fold issued by Yu on the sixth day of the lunar month can be ordered in early October.If Yu is sent out according to the order, the trip will take place in ten days. The brothers are far away, and I don't know when we will meet again?I only hope that the two younger brothers will refrain from these two words, and the younger generations, and abide by the family rules, which will comfort my ears!

(October 24th, the tenth year of Xianfeng) 【Note】 ①Early and face-to-face instruction: Describes listening to earnest and sincere teachings and hopes face to face. ② Xiang: The younger brother of Emperor Shun in the legend. 【Zewen】 About Yuan and Jidi: Brother Yuan blamed himself with my letter of resentment. He was afraid of going on the road of crisis, but wanted to follow the path of prudence in words and deeds. Being able to do this is a good thing for my brother's lifelong blessing, and it is also the luck of my family. Brother Ji's Xinping and Wenya are much stronger than the proud and lazy situation in previous years.

On the second day of November in the 19th year of Daoguang, I went to Beijing to enter the Shuchang Hall of the Imperial Academy.On the morning of October 28th, I served my grandfather Xinggang in front of the house, and asked my grandfather for instructions: "This time I am going to the capital, I will ask my grandfather to teach me a lesson." Xinggang said: "Your official is endless. Yours is the best, but don’t be proud, full of losses, modest benefits, if you don’t do it, it will be better!” This legacy is not far away, and it still seems to be echoed in my ears.I would like to tell you this passage now, and warn the two brothers that the first priority is always to get rid of the word proud.The villains in the Tang and Yu eras were like Dan Zhuao; It's proud.

Since I came out of the mountain again on August 6th, I have worked hard to avoid arrogance in order to correct the shortcomings of impermanence. Recently, I have also tried to avoid laziness. Before Huizhou's defeat yesterday, Ciqing inevitably had self-righteous views in his heart. After the defeat, I became more and more convinced that the military defeat was either pride or laziness.The failure of high officials and noble families is either arrogance or laziness, and the two must be one or the other. The memorial I sent out on the sixth day of the lunar month will be issued in early October.If I am dispatched according to the order, I will set off in ten days. I don't know when we can meet again?The only thing is that I wish the two younger brothers to refrain from arrogance and laziness, and ask the younger generation to also refrain from these two words and abide by the family rules, then I am very pleased.
