This man had been a bodyguard for 30 years. Kangxi made him a general, but he cried and said: I am dead.

As the old saying goes, poetry and calligraphy are in your heart. Reading can not only broaden your knowledge and accumulate knowledge, but also avoid making jokes because of your lack of knowledge and skills. No matter what position a person is in, it is always good to read more books and gain more knowledge and experience. Otherwise, when it comes to using it, he may make people laugh because of his lack of knowledge.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, there was a traitor named Li Linfu. Li Linfu held a high position, was extremely cunning, and held the position of prime minister. It could be said that one person was inferior to ten thousand people. However, Li Linfu was an uneducated person. His literary literacy was very low and he couldn't even understand some basic idioms, so he made a joke.

Once, a relative of Li Linfu gave birth to a son. In ancient times, the birth of a son was called "Nongzhang's Joy", but when Li Linfu wrote a letter of congratulations, he wrote "Nongzhang's Joy" as "The joy of playing deer" exposed the truth about Li Linfu's low level of knowledge. This incident was spread throughout the court as a joke and has been passed down to this day.

Coincidentally, there were two figures similar to Li Linfu in the Qing Dynasty. Their deeds made people laugh even more. Below, the author will slowly share with you the interesting anecdotes of the two of them. . It is said that during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a Manchu who served as a guard at the Qianqing Gate for thirty years. Emperor Kangxi wanted to serve in the bodyguard for many years, but there was no credit but hard work, so he gave the bodyguard a good job, and he was promoted to the general of Jingzhou.

After the guard was promoted, his wife and family were very happy and felt that they could now enjoy a happy life. But the guard himself was unhappy and did not look happy at all about getting promoted and getting rich. Later, as the date of taking office approached, the guard actually started crying non-stop.

The family members of these guards were puzzled, and the guards’ friends also came to ask him why he was so depressed and crying. The guard answered his friend with a worried look on his face: "Everyone knows that Jingzhou is a battleground for military strategists. Even the wise and brave Mr. Guan (Guan Gong) cannot defend it, let alone me. When I go to Jingzhou to take office this time, I will definitely defend it. If I am attacked by Soochow soldiers, I will be dead, so I am so sad." After hearing this, my friend suddenly realized and quickly explained to the guard that the Qing Dynasty has unified the world, and Soochow has long been unified. It no longer exists, and you will be fine if you go to Jingzhou to become a general. However, the guard still didn't believe it and was still very scared. It turned out that the guard had no education and had only heard the story of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so he made this joke.

During the Qianlong period, another similar figure appeared. This man was a doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was also a Manchurian. Because of his square face, big ears, and majestic appearance, Agui, the chief military minister, thought that this person should be a talented person, so he recommended this doctor of the Ministry of Punishment to Emperor Qianlong. Agui had a high status in the court, so Qianlong would not neglect the talents recommended by Agui himself, so he found a time to summon this person.

Qianlong met with the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment and wanted to know what was so brilliant about this person, so he asked him what was the reputation of Fukangan and Hailancha outside? After hearing this, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice immediately replied: "Your Majesty, people outside admire these two generals and compare them to Luo Cheng and Yuchi Gong." Qianlong laughed after hearing this, and waved his hand for the doctor of the Ministry of Justice to retreat. .

The reason why Qianlong laughed was because the doctor of the Ministry of Justice compared the famous generals Fukang'an and Hailancha to Luo Cheng and Yuchigong. You must know that Luo Cheng and Yuchigong are both characters in "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" , and Luo Cheng is still a fictional character. The doctor of the Ministry of Punishment praised Fukang'an and Hailancha in front of Qianlong. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing can be used as a metaphor, and even worse, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can be used as a metaphor. It is very inappropriate to compare this person to a fierce general in a romance novel.

Qianlong knew that this person was just a person who was familiar with novels and could not be reused, so he waved this person out. The fact that this man made a fool of himself in front of Qianlong quickly became a laughing stock.

Agui, who recommended this person, regretted it very much after hearing about it. He said to people: "I thought that boy was handsome and should be a good person, so I recommended him to the emperor. I didn't expect that he was ignorant and incompetent. If you can read novels, I will be embarrassed!" From this point of view, people still need more books and more knowledge.
