Zeng Guofan's family letter 曾国藩 690Words 2018-03-18
【original】 About Yuandi: It is very reasonable for my brother to say a few words for two seats and one festival; however, how many people have there been since ancient times when they are in a high position and power and enjoy a great name at the same time?Those who can deal with the end of the road ① must always try to give up a little bit of power and position, and subtract a few percent, then the evening festival will gradually end.Today, because of my brother's statement, I no longer want to make a separate application, but I still attach a piece of application when I meet it; but it is also a wonderful thing to be able to dismiss one of the two seats.

At Li Shizhong's place, Yu Jue sent a letter, one to ask Yu to send personnel to collect the money from the Siba card, and the money will still belong to the canal; It stops quickly, let's see how he responds? Received two letters from home this month, and handed them over to my younger brother to read.The three nephews of the tripod read books in general, which is a great comfort!His eyebrows stand out from the crowd, and Brother Wen is too depressed, and there must be a day when he stretches out a little.The morale of the younger army is very strong, gratifying!However, there is very little news in the army, and when they see it, they think it is prosperous, that is, to pass the opportunity of arrogance.Laozi said: "When two armies face each other, the one who mourns wins." Its meaning is most suitable for experience.

(17th day of the first month of the second year of Tongzhi) 【Note】 ①Those who can be good at their end: It means to have a good ending or destination. 【Translation】 About Yuandi: Regarding the matter of asking the emperor to resign from one of the two official positions, what my brother said is very reasonable.However, since ancient times, how many people have held great positions and powers and enjoyed great names?If you want to have a happy ending, you must always try to give up the two characters of power and position by a little, and reduce it by a few percent, so that the evening festival can end slowly.Now because of my younger brother's statement, I no longer write a special request for memorandum, and I still attach a piece of application when it is convenient. As long as I can dismiss one of the two seats, it is also a great idea.

At Li Shizhong's place, I'm going to send a letter. On the one hand, the Sigong card should be collected by my dispatched staff, and the money still belongs to him. On the one hand, he sent someone to Xikan to seal up the salt in Huaibei, which is no different from robbing. Please stop quickly and see how he responds? Received two letters from home this month, and handed them over to someone to show you.Third nephew Ding can read, very pleased!His brows were originally outstanding, but Brother Wen was too depressed, he must be a little bit brighter one day.The morale of my brother's army is strong, gratifying!But there is very little news in the army, and it looks very prosperous, isn't it a bit arrogant?Laozi said: "When two armies confront each other, the mourner wins." This meaning is the most important to understand. (17th day of the first month of the second year of Tongzhi)
