【original】 About Yuan Jidi: Brother takes on this huge task, and I deeply think it is all!If it is like Lu A Ergong's way, my parents will be humiliated, even brothers, nephews, and nephews will be insulted by the people. There are many blessings and misfortunes, and I don’t know which one is gratifying?Contemplating the recent officials governing the hearts of the people, and the governors and generals of the provinces, there seems to be no reason to rule the world. I can only repay my lord with a word of diligence, and my relatives with a letter of love for the people. , working hard all day long, to reduce the worries of the night and day, marching is a matter of disturbing the people, but always cherish the heart of love for the people, not to let the ancestors accumulate, and exhaust myself alone. no?May my two younger brothers always have this thought.

Brother Yuan often hires good officials; General Lin speaks a second language, which is extremely concise, but good people are hard to come by. I want to pay attention to interviews, and I dare not underestimate anyone who has a good skill.Thank you for posting today, Ningguo has no letter within a day, and I heard that Yang Qimazi from Chizhou is going to attack Ning, which is in danger! (July 12th in the tenth year of Xianfeng) 【Note】 ① Prelude: the old road, the old road. ②Xiaoji: Refers to the emperor. 【Translation】 Around Yuandi and Jidi; My brother is honored with this important task, and I am deeply terrified!If they follow the old path of Lu and Ah Ergong again, it will bring humiliation to their parents, even brothers and nephews will also be insulted by others. The mechanism of misfortune and fortune depends on them, and they don't know what is a good omen?Observing the management methods of these officials secretly, the movement of people's hearts, and the actions of the governors and generals of various provinces, it seems that there is no fixed truth in the world. My only idea is to repay the emperor with a word of diligence and love the people. If you repay your parents, your own talents and knowledge are ordinary, and it is absolutely difficult to make meritorious deeds. But keep a word of diligence and work hard all day long to reduce the worries that the superiors worry about day and night. The virtues accumulated by the ancestors have been exhausted from me alone. This is my elder brother's own determination. I wonder if the two younger brothers think it is right?I hope my brother thinks the same way.

Brother Yuan's two sentences "place more good officials and select generals" are extremely concise, but good people are rare, and the younger brothers also pay attention to the interviews on their behalf. The elder brother will never dare to underestimate anyone who has a skill. Xie En's book is published today , Ningguo has no letter within a few days, I heard that Chizhou Yang Qimazi will attack Ningguo, it is very dangerous! (July 12th in the tenth year of Xianfeng)
