Zeng Guofan lived a clean and honest life. Why did he marry a concubine when he was 50 years old?

Because at that time, Zeng Guopan's psoriasis became more and more serious because of too much pressure, he could not scratch himself every day, nor could his soldiers. Otherwise, he will make a big joke. Even if he is 50 years old, he will bring a little wife of 19 years old without his wife. Therefore, the concubine Zeng Guopan just scratched herself. After all, psoriasis is really powerful. Zeng Guopan always looked down on concubines, but he was helpless. He married a concubine himself, but Zuo mercilessly laughed at him.

Although Zeng Guopan's concubinage is nine Niu Yi hairs, because he never likes concubinage, he looks down on concubinage people. It is said that he has never been close to women all his life and is strict with himself, but in order to cope with the difficulties of the Qing Dynasty and solve his growing psoriasis, he had to take concubinage regardless of his reputation. Moreover, only a few days after the emperor died, Zeng Guopan brought a concubine, which made many people dissatisfied. Many officials have impeached him, but because he was fighting a decisive battle with Taiping at that time, he didn't care too much about it, but it also brought a lot of trouble to Zeng Guopan.

Although Zeng Guopan's family background is not as prominent as others, he has made great contributions. Zeng Guopan pursued Confucianism all his life, not a genius. He passed seven exams, but if he wants to be a down-to-earth person all his life, he can keep working hard and make solid efforts because of his ambition. In this way, he passed seven exams and once passed. Unlike most young people in modern times, most of them are utopias now, and their thoughts can't keep up with reality. Zeng guopan has been down-to-earth all his life. He works hard and does not take shortcuts.

At the age of 50, Zeng Guopan married a concubine. Although it has brought a little stain on his life's reputation, he still has something to learn from later generations. Moreover, Zeng Guopan's main reason for concubinage is not to solve his inner needs, but mostly to ease his mentality and better solve the difficulties of the Qing Dynasty at that time, so he needs someone to solve his recurrent and increasingly serious psoriasis.
