Peng Yulin, a political legend in Qing Dynasty, resigned six times in his life. Why?

Peng Yulin's dismissal from office can be said to be unique in the politics of the Qing Dynasty and even in modern politics. There are many people who have gone to official posts in the past dynasties, but no one has resigned like him. He went to the office six times in his life without doing it. The first time was in the eleventh year of Xianfeng. Zeng Guofan was hired as the governor of Liangjiang, and Zeng Guofan began to install his own people, which was the most critical position in the provinces. The most crucial position is the provincial governors, who are the most important real positions in the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, Zeng Guofan introduced three groups to the court for a while and became the governor of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui. Especially the governor of Anhui, because the yamen of the governor of Liangjiang was located in Anhui in advance. Zeng Guofan introduced Peng Yulin as the governor of Anhui in advance, and many people are salivating at this position. As a result, the imperial court hired him, but Peng Yulin continued to go to the official position for three times. Why go to the official? Peng Yulin said I'm from Hogwarts and I'm not familiar with civil affairs. Zeng Guofan and the imperial court were unexpected. Seeing that this group was very determined, the imperial court agreed. The court was very moved and gave him a prestigious official title, assistant minister of the Ministry of War.

The second time I came to Tongzhi for four years, there was only one group in the imperial court, and everyone praised it. This group was Peng Yulin. This group is truly virtuous and a real traitor. Peng Yulin said that he wanted three things in his life: no officials, no money and no life. Therefore, the more such people are, the more they should give him the best position. So no one to guard against Peng Yulin, the court gave him a governor of grain transportation in advance. But Peng Yulin is determined not to do it.

For the third time, in the seventh year of Tongzhi, Peng Yulin resigned as assistant minister of the imaginary Ministry of War and went home to mourn for his mother. For the fourth time, after Peng Yulin kept his mother in mourning for four years, Tongzhi Tianzi got married at this time. According to the rules, at the wedding ceremony of the Emperor of Heaven, there must be a respected person to be the minister of repression. Peng Yulin refused, and the son of heaven was not decent when he got married. Therefore, I had to be an assistant minister of the Ministry of War and a minister of repression. But as soon as Tongzhi Tianzi got married, Peng Yulin immediately went to the office. Even the empress dowager cixi was very moved. I didn't think there was such a person in the world. If you don't love an official to this point, you have to give him an official position anyway. Therefore, there was no way for the official department to create an official, called the Yangtze River patrol, which was also a very high official position.

the fifth time I went to an official position was in the seventh year of Guangxu, when there was a very important official vacancy. Governor of Liangjiang River and Minister of Nanyang Mutual Market, the imperial court thought that no one could be it, so it was necessary to invite Peng Yulin. Peng Yulin is still determined not to come out of the mountain, determined not to be the official. By this time of Guangxu's ninth year, the court said that Peng Yulin, such a talented group, could not be forgotten, and he was appointed Minister of War. But Peng Yulin was still unwilling, and the court urged him several times, and Peng Yulin resigned several times. When China and France reached peaceful generate, Peng Yulin was willing to go out to be the minister of war. Under the guidance of Peng Yulin, he won several rare military glories in the modern history of China. Therefore, under the guidance of Peng Yulin, Sino-French peace has won successively. Peng Yulin lost the hawk faction, but the hawk faction was in charge in advance. However, the fragile Qing government has been frightened, and obviously it still signed an unequal treaty after losing the battle. So the peace was over, and Peng Yulin went to office in anger. He went to the official for six times in his life and practiced his life worship of "Three Don 'ts" all his life.
