Chapter 77 To all brothers, don't make your nephew arrogant, extravagant and obscene
【original】
Chengwen Yuanji's four younger brothers around;
On the fifth day of reading, Hu Er and others sent a letter to their families, reporting the joy of recovering Wuhan. On the seventh day, there was a victory. , On the seventh day of the first day, the three-way march was played. On the first day, Yang Zaifu, Peng Yulin, etc., led more than 60 ships of the navy, and went to the downstream to suppress the bandits. Four Liu Si and others came to the camp to attack Wuhan on the third route of the campaign, and they were sent to Hubei without approval.
On the 11th, at the time of the recovery of Wuhan, according to the decree sent by Zhu Tingting and other documents, he was appointed as the governor of Hubei, and Dai Hualing was rewarded.My brother's concern for my mother's death has not been resolved, and I dare not accept the official position. The painstaking efforts of the past two years seem to be all about winning high-ranking officials and beautiful positions. Why did my mother die?Why the clan township party?How can we be safe in a square inch of land?Therefore, it is decisive to have refraction and shooting, and I think all my brothers must think so.
The place of fame and fame has been difficult to live in since ancient times. As a registered official, my brother recruited bravery to build a ship.I have a good name, but there must be people who receive a bad name, and it is embarrassing to compare with each other. Brother, you are only cautious and humble, and you are always vigilant. If you rely on the power of the Holy Lord, you can quickly wipe out Jiangxi and level this place. Thief; Brother, I decided to go back to my hometown, serve my father, and rebury my mother. For a long time or three years, or for a short time or a year, it is enough to comfort the hearts of the districts, but I don't know if the holy will can be obeyed?
When you are at home, you should always teach your sons and nephews to be diligent and respectful. When I am outside, since I have power, my sons and nephews in the family are most likely to be arrogant and lost. Those two words are the way to lose a family. I hope you will always pay attention to it. , Don't let the younger generation get close to these two characters, it's the most important thing.
Luo Luoshan broke up camp on the tenth, Zhiting broke out on the thirteenth, and the other fifteen or sixteen also broke out and went east. The rest were not one by one, begging to tell their father, lord, uncle, lord, good luck and golden safety. (September 13th in the fourth year of Xianfeng)

The four brothers Cheng, Wen, Yuan and Ji:
On the 25th, Hu Er and others were sent home to report the good news of the recovery of Wuhan. On the 26th, a memorial was written to report the victory. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the report of the three-way army march was played. On the western day, Yang Zaifu, Peng Yulin and others led more than 60 warships in the navy and headed downstream to kill the enemy. Emperor Zhu batch sent to Hubei.On the tenth day of the lunar new year, Peng Si, Liu Si and others came to the barracks and sent them to Zhu Zhu who was attacking Wuhan Sanlu.
On the 11th, the son of Kefu in Wuhan received the decree from Zhu Biting and other documents. He was honored as the governor of Hubei for his brother, and he was rewarded with a flower feather. For his brother, the mother's funeral system has not yet expired, and he will never accept the official position. If he accepts it Well, then the wars that have been painstakingly planned for the past two years seem to be all for the sake of winning high officials and generous salaries, so how can I treat my mother under Jiuquan?Why the clan township party?How can one's own heart be at ease?So I decided to write a memorial to thank the emperor. I think my younger brothers must think so.
The officialdom has been a difficult place from ancient times to the present. As a registered official, my brother recruited warriors, built warships, and accomplished such feats, which shocked his reputation for a while. Similarly, I have a good reputation, and others always get a bad reputation. In contrast, how embarrassing it is.As a brother, you can only be modest and prudent, and be vigilant at all times. If you rely on the emperor's power, you can quickly wipe out the enemies in the south of the Yangtze River. As a brother, you are determined to ask the emperor to approve you to go home, serve your father, and rebury your mother. It may take three years, or one year. It is enough to comfort me a little bit, but I wonder if the emperor can approve it?
When the brothers are at home, they must always teach their nephews to obey the word "diligence and respect". When I am outside, since I have power, the children at home are most likely to be arrogant, extravagant, and unrestrained. The word "Jiao Fu" is exactly the way to prodigal. I really hope that my younger brothers will always pay attention to it, and it is very important not to let my nephews get close to these two words!
Luo Luoshan will leave camp on the 12th, Zhiting will leave camp on the 13th, I will also leave camp on the 15th and 16th, and prepare to go east. I will not write the rest one by one. Please tell my father and uncle, and wish them good luck and peace . (September 13th in the fourth year of Xianfeng)
