How did Zuo fight back quietly, making him sweat?

At that time, Zuo asked his subordinates who had made mistakes to apologize to their relatives and relatives. When he left, he arranged many senior officials to hold a special farewell ceremony for the official.

The specific thing is this: Zuo was deeply loved by the imperial court at that time and was then the magistrate of the two rivers. Many of his former subordinates followed him. One day, the court sent a special envoy to him as an inspector. This man is the second generation of the official, the descendant of the Manchu nobility, and he got the official position by inheritance. Zuo also sent someone to receive him according to the rules, but this person is a person who likes to play official prestige, so he made a joke.

The leftists went to see the envoy. Because of their similar ranks and Zuo's great reputation, the emissary respectfully talked with the reception staff. The problem is that the receptionist walked through the middle door of the military envoy's house when she was ready to leave, which made the military envoy very angry.

You must wonder which door is different. As for being angry? There is definitely no problem with this now, but this matter was more serious in ancient times. Because of the strict hierarchy in ancient times, the three exits of the yamen all said so: people with much lower level in the right door entered and exited, people with lower level in the left door entered and exited, and people with higher level in the middle door entered and exited. Obviously, the receptionist offended the minister.

So the minister went to the left theory the next day. After telling the cause and process of the incident, Zuo also realized the seriousness of the matter, because the hierarchy between officials in the Qing Dynasty was very strict, and what the receptionist did was to commit the following crimes. If he reached the top, the crime was still very serious, so he called the receptionist who made a mistake and apologized to the minister in person.

After all, Zuo was still very dignified at that time. The minister dare not go too far. Thinking about it also made him proud. When I left, I found two rows of left subordinates standing neatly at the door, and many of them were first-class officials, some of whom were imperial yellow jackets and hualing. Considering that he was a second-rate minister, he dared to go to Zuo's house to make trouble, but at that time. So that the people who saw him on the left later shook like mice when they saw the cat, and never dared to be rude again.
