In traditional Chinese culture, there is a god who is in charge of the underworld, and his position is the master of the fifth hall of the underworld. Lord Yama is usually in charge of the life span of a human being, and if a person's life limit has expired, the iron-faced and selfless Lord Yama will send his subordinates to arrest this person.
Hades, this term is often used to describe those cadres who have a clear distinction between public and private, iron-faced, selfless, honest and honest. Historically, Han Baohu, Bao Zheng, Fan Zhongyan and Kou Zhun and others have impartially enforced the law and been honest officials, making them respected as the king of Hades.
There are many good people in history, no matter what period they lived, they were able to serve the people impartially and wholeheartedly. Just like Peng Yulin, he served as a ** in the late Qing Dynasty, even if he offended the powerful, but also because of his father Peng Mingjiu's words and deeds, he always insisted on impartial law enforcement during his tenure as an inspector, and won the respect of the people, so he was able to enjoy family happiness in his later years.
Under the words and deeds of his father's clean government and love for the people, Peng Yulin established his life ambition as an official. This lofty ideal brought endless impetus to his career path, and eventually led to his promotion to the high position of the crown prince and young prince.
However, Peng's career has not been smooth sailing, and he has failed to take the talent exam nine times. It wasn't until the tenth that there was a turnaround. The strict requirements of the ancient imperial examination system made Peng Yulin lose his name to Sun Shan because of his writing problems.
Despite his brilliance, he was unable to get advice on how to improve his writing in an era of information blockage.
Peng Yulin's test scores have been very good, the font is strong and the answers are accurate, but there are always some words that go beyond the square of the answers. Although he took the test 9 times in a row, he was still unaware of the problem.
Until by chance, a prefect named Gao Renjian discovered this hard-working and calligraphy boy during a private visit to Weifu. Gao Renjian later participated in the marking of the imperial examination and discovered Peng Yulin's talent.
When the master was reading the papers, he found that the answer sheet with a strong and upright font was very similar to Peng Yulin's handwriting, with clear answers and thoughtful writing. But the only problem is that most of the characters are written outside the writing area.
The master still gave him high marks out of love. If he hadn't met this nobleman, the key figure in Zhongxing in the late Qing Dynasty might not have had a chance to appear.
After Peng Yulin was discovered by the masters, he entered the officialdom with the identity of Xiucai, and began his magical road to becoming an official with uprightness and repeated victories. As a military attaché for the first time, he showed great strategic talent in the suppression of the uprising, and was recognized by the imperial court as a military general and promoted to a civilian position.
He resolutely refused to be promoted and resigned angrily, which attracted the attention of Zeng Guofan. Why did Zeng Guofan notice him? It turned out that by this time, the Taiping Rebellion had shaken the foundation of the Qing court's rule, but the ailing Qing court was no longer able to establish an effective mechanism for suppression.
In this case, in order to suppress the Taiping army and keep the country, the imperial court decided to use mercenaries. The plan to allow mercenaries to be formed on their own to suppress the Taiping army first benefited the deeply rooted Han Chen, the most influential of which was the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan.
Zeng Guofan took this opportunity to expand the army, which was a golden opportunity.
Suppressing the Taiping army was not an easy task, and it required not only strong troops, but also wise and brave generals. Zeng Guofan had already noticed Peng Yulin, a civil minister who had shown great talent in quelling Li Yuan's uprising, but when he tried to promote Peng Yulin's official position, Peng Yulin resigned because he was a military attaché.
After Peng Yulin's resignation, Zeng Guofan wrote many letters, explaining the concept that the country was facing difficulties and needed talents to come forward to turn the tide and save the common people. Peng Yulin heeded the advice and joined the Hunan army as a military attaché.
In the Hunan army, Zeng Guofan's performance attracted much attention, during which he was appointed as a minister. Peng Yulin was an upright man, he did not tolerate Li Qiusheng's arrogance and ordered his arrest.
Despite Li Qiusheng's stubbornness, Peng Yulin arranged for his cronies to execute the stick execution on the orders of Lord Qincha, which eventually led to the death of Li Hongzhang's nephew. In order to avoid this matter from causing further trouble, it must be dealt with as soon as possible.
Peng Yulin listed in detail all kinds of misconduct of Li Qiusheng, and emphasized it many times by way of ranking. After reading Peng Yulin's letter, Li Hongzhang was furious, his eyes were full of resentment, but he couldn't find a suitable outlet.
Peng Yulin still maintained a high fighting spirit in his later years, held military power, often won undefeated, and was an official to the military department, a first-class officer, no one dared to shake easily. At the time of his death, he was accompanied by many loyal veterans.
Peng Yulin played a key role in the suppression of the Taiping army, and repeatedly rescued Zeng Guofan from crises. He was impartial and selfless, respected for killing Li Hongzhang's nephew Li Qiusheng, and also advised Zeng Guofan to execute Zeng Guoquan, and finally won the love of the court and the people with his ability and integrity.
Although he offended many powerful people in the officialdom, he was promoted to the crown prince by virtue of his own efforts. Without the Emperor's permission, no one could easily harm him. After Peng Yulin died of illness, he was posthumously awarded the title of Prince Taibao.
He enforced the law impartially and was revered as the "Living Yama King", which was not only recognized by the imperial court, but also won the admiration of the people.
