Xu Tong, whose name is Yuru, was born in 1820, a native of the Blue Banner of the Han Army, a Jinshi in the Daoguang period, and the master of the Tongzhi Emperor.
In terms of knowledge, Xu Tong can be called "the five cars of learning", otherwise, he will not be the emperor's master. However, Xu Tong's actions blinded him to a stomach full of poems and books, and turned his life into a paragraph.
One. In the year of Wuxu, Cixi launched a coup d'état, and the ministers of the court were asked how to deal with Guangxu in the main hallsaid that Emperor Guangxu should be abolished as the Duke of Dude (given to Huizong by the Jin people), but in the end, Cixi did not listen to him, which made Lord Xu super faceless.
Two. There is also the time of Gengzi, eighty-year-old Xu Tong was fanatically obsessed with the so-called unbreakable magic skills!When attacking the embassy, he couldn't beat it, and Xu Tong was in a hurry, and he studied at home every day. Lord Xu is worthy of being a university scholar, quite two brushes, and his research results are: "Foreigners cut the yin of the people's women, line up the ** array, and use the guns and cannons!."
As a result, after Xu Tong, a great Confucian of science, finished teaching the eldest brother Pu Jun every day, the academic authority who lectured on Confucius and Mencius was closed, and the ** people of the Hanlin Academy were summoned to start studying the "** array"!This was the level of the top of the ruling class at the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Three. Once, Xu Tong chatted with people about the countries in the world, and he said eloquently that there are only Britain, France and Italy in the world, and Spain and Portugal do not exist at all.
Everyone was stunned. So Xu Tong explained: "Spain has teeth, grapes have teeth, teeth become a country, history has never heard of, books have not been recorded, absurd, nothing more than this." ”
Some people questioned that Spain and Portugal had both sent people to China, so how could there be no two countries?
How did Xu Tong answer?He said that it was because the British and the French always came to China to grab things, and they came too many times, and he was embarrassed to come and make up the names of two countries casually, so that he could continue to come and rob them.
Four. In the autumn of one year, the imperial court conducted a re-examination for the new imperial examination, and when Xu Tong was ordered to draft the topic, the poem title of the trial poem was: "School Secrets". I don't know how to do it, Xu Tong actually wrote the word "secret" next to the word "clothes", and it became a white character.
During the exam, more than 200 candidates in the examination room looked at this white character and didn't know how to start.
This is simply a pit student.
Five. Xu Tongkeng is a student in the front, and his son is a pit in the back.
In 1900, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, and the Empress Dowager Cixi fled from the capital in a hurry with Emperor Guangxu. Xu Tong, as a scholar of Tirenge, could have fled together, but he did not flee and stayed in the capital.
Of course, Xu Tong is just a powerless scholar and cannot resist the Eight-Nation Alliance. He stayed because he wanted to die for the country and do his best to "humiliate the king and die to the death" - in this regard, Xu Tong is stronger than the Empress Dowager Cixi and others. At that time, Xu Tong's third son was named Xu Chengyu, the official to the Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department, he knew that his father wanted to drag himself to hang himself and martyr himself, so he comforted him: "Father is a boxer, and outsiders will inevitably lose their body." Martyrdom?Son, obey the ear!”
Xu Tong believed that it was true, and ordered the old servant to tie two rope sleeves on the main beam of the hall, stood on tiptoe, stretched his white head into a rope sleeve, and then looked at his son with blank eyes. Xu Chengyu didn't care so much, pulled the stool under his father's feet, and walked away by himself.
