A scholar from a humble background.
Lu Meng was born in an ordinary family. His grandfather Lu Mengqi and father Lu Guichen were in important positions and were open-minded. However, Lu Guitu was obsessed with beauty, doted on his wife and concubine, and tried every means to get rid of his wife Liu. Liu's personality was upright, and he couldn't bear it anymore and decided to run away from home by himself. As a result, Lü Mengzheng and his mother Liu had to live in exile.
In the cold winter, mother and son huddle together in a dilapidated bakery. Liu Xiaoqing was frugal and invested all his savings in his son's education, buying books and stationery for him. She knew that only through her own efforts could she change Lu Mengzheng's fate. Lu Mengzheng also longed for his mother's love, and studied hard day and night.
Lu Mengzheng has been educated by his family since he was a child, and he is literate and hyphenated. Although his family was in difficulty at that time, he worked hard to become an official in order to change his fate and get rid of poverty. This is the source of motivation for Lu Meng's unremitting efforts.
In order to make effective use of his mother's collection of books, Lu Meng is working tirelessly day and night. In the cold winter, there was wind and snow outside, and Lu Mengzheng never complained, just buried his head in hard reading. Sometimes in the middle of the night, the candlelight is almost extinguished, and he is still reading intently, completely unaware that the morning sun has turned white.
Liu's hard work made Liu feel distressed, and she often brought him raw tea and food to encourage him to rest. Lu Meng was looking at his mother's shabby but loving face, and his heart was filled with endless gratitude. He decided to return his mother's nurturing grace to his mother, and he must let his mother gain fame and enjoy her old age in peace.
The glory of the heap is poor, but the name of literature is glorious.
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle. Lu Meng is gradually growing up, and his knowledge is becoming more and more profound. But there is still a long way to go before the imperial examinations. Lu Mengzheng came from a humble background, and without the support of the powerful, he could only rely on his own strength.
This year, the roofs of every house were plastered with beautiful Spring Festival couplets, but the dilapidated stove of the Lu family was empty. Lu Mengzheng had an idea, picked up the red paper and pen and ink and began to write.
First row
Next species: VI, VII, VIII, IX
Composition: North and South.
the seemingly childish phrase was immediately hung up, attracting passers-by to stop and speculate on its meaning.Mr. Zhang was one of the people who passed by the Lu family at that time, and he suddenly realized after reading this poem:"This is the first time I have seen the verses hanging on the house.
The first sentence is missing'one', the second sentence is missing'Ten', not in between'What', merged into'Lack of food, clothing, and furniture'。This is abject poverty! "
It turned out that this seemingly naïve poem expressed the helplessness and embarrassment of Lu Mengzheng's life. **As soon as he saw Lu Mengzheng's talent, he sent him into the official career as a strong man.
Zhang Jian happened to pass by, so he stopped for a while. But when his gaze swept over the poems that Lu Mengzheng had written seemingly randomly, Zhang Jian's heart was deeply attracted by this young man.
How can a young man from a poor background, who sells books for a living in a dilapidated bakery, understand the verses of "The Rite of Spring"? More importantly, the couplet encapsulates the elegance and generosity of a broad-hearted gentleman.
Zhang Jiuling was deeply encouraged and immediately decided to accept this poor scholar as an apprentice. He believes that with the perseverance and talent of this young man, he will definitely achieve something. At the same time, Zhang Jiuling also ordered someone to quietly send a sum of money to the Lu family to help the Lu family's mother and son tide over the difficulties.
He escaped his fate and became"The poorest scholar in history"。
With the help of Zhang Wenwai, Lu Mengzheng passed the district test. However, to qualify for the congressional exam, he had to overcome many difficulties, and the road was long and bumpy. Lu Mengzheng has been defeated repeatedly. His family was poor and could not afford to be guided by a famous teacher, so he could only rely on his unremitting efforts to achieve today's achievements.
There is no way out in the dark, but there are other villages in the dark. As if determined to overcome his congenital limitations, at the age of 33, he finally achieved the highest grades in high school, fulfilled his greatest dream as a scholar, and wrote the first brilliant sentence of his career.
This is the first time that Lü Mengzheng's hometown has come to scientists. It stands to reason that on such a big day, there should be a group of relatives to get together to celebrate. However, when these relatives who were sitting aside and didn't want to help rushed to return the salute, Lu Mengzheng happily came out with a sneering couplet:"I'm not a scientist, I'm a scientist, I'm a scientist, I'm a scientist"。
In the past, there was a famine, no firewood, no rice, ,..
It's a scientific opportunity to dress and eat...
the seemingly calm words satirise the snobbery and hypocrisy of these relatives.Many people have gone away because of this. Perhaps it was such a difficult fate that shaped Lu Meng's upright temperament, and he became"The poorest scholar in history"and it was done"The poorest champion in history"。
When Lu Mengzheng won the scholarship, the whole city rejoiced, and people of all colors congratulated him. But not all congratulations are sincere.
Some distant relatives of the Lu family did not care about what happened to Lu Mengzheng's mother and son, but now they are trying to ask for credit for this matter and seek praise and rewards.
In this regard, the arrogant Lu Meng was scoffing. Seeing the hypocritical faces of these people, his heart was about to go crazy. He immediately put pen to paper and wrote a satirical couplet that revealed their true motives.
The roof leak happened to rain overnight. There are fewer and fewer relatives and friends, and the sad people are getting colder and colder. The car was parked outside the door of the powerful, and relatives and neighbors climbed higher and higher.
Seeing this, as always ironic, many relatives were immediately embarrassed. One by one, they blushed and made excuses to leave the scene. Some secretly gritted their teeth, but they were helpless.
The calmness and calmness in Lu Mengzheng's eyes showed his extraordinary mind and bearing, which eventually transformed a scholar from a poor background into a great person.
Be upright and loyal to the country.
Lu Mengzheng, born in the imperial examination, rose step by step, and reached important positions. But he never forgot his original intention, always maintained an upright character, and was modest and prudent. He wrote to the emperor many times, expressing his heart directly and informally.
He was demoted several times, but was soon reappointed because of his outstanding ability. Lü Meng is trying his best to handle government affairs and eventually becomes the prime minister. When this one came from a humble background"The poorest champion in history"When he finally became a great man, the crowd cheered for him.
Lü Meng is dying of illness at the age of 67. Does anyone remember that this pinnacle of success was once a poor scholar with no food and clothing? Who remembers that this iron man who is loyal to the country once hugged his mother in the cold wind?
Lu Mengzheng is an honest official and has won the hearts of the people. Whenever there is a natural or man-made disaster, he goes to the disaster area in person. When he saw the suffering of the people, his heart sank to the bottom. Overwhelmed, Lu Mengzheng suddenly had a high fever and had to rest in bed.
After a few days, Lu Mengzheng's condition improved slightly, and then he had a difficult birth. His neighbors advised him to meditate, but he would not listen. Jiang Shan suppressed his talent, and he couldn't let go of his heart. In this way, Lu Mengzheng's body deteriorated several times.
In the winter of '67, Lü Mengzheng fell ill again, with a high fever that persisted. Doctors examined him and found that his body had shrunk from overexertion. This time, although Lu Mengzheng didn't want to save his body, he couldn't keep it.
For hundreds of years, the imperial court has cultivated countless loyal ministers and good generals. But few people can serve the country like Lu Mengzheng. This poor scholar was willing to sit in a poor bun shop, but in the end he achieved great achievements recognized by the world.
But it was the ordeal given to him by fate that made Lu Mengzheng mend his character and straighten his back. A person who has experienced darkness will yearn for the light even more; A person who has tasted the bitterness of fate will understand the difficulties of the world even more.
