Zhang Yuan Tuan, the top scholar in Ming Dynasty, failed to avenge his father. How did he end up dead?
Zhang Yuantuan is a sympathetic and filial boy and a sensible boy. There is a magical story circulating in his hometown. The story goes like this: once upon a time, there was a mountain and there was a temple on it. A young man named Zhang Yuantuan often comes to the temple to study. One day, while reading, the diligent boy fell asleep. In his sleep, he saw an old man come over and bow and say, I am a dragon who has been practicing in this mountain for thousands of years, and I should make some achievements today. But you are a very expensive person, and the place where you study just presses my head and makes me unable to move. I beg you to hold your ass high so that I can stand out quickly, and there will be good results in the future. The kind boy said to him, I don't want your thick newspaper. This mountain is short of water. If you are really a dragon, show the people here a look at the spring water. With that, he moved away. After a burst of lightning and thunder, a clear spring gurgled out with a long history and still exists today.
Zhang Yuantuan was already 30 years old when he was admitted to the top scholar. After working as a secretary for a few days, his father passed away. According to the regulations, he will go home to mourn for three years. It never rains but it pours. After coming back to work for a few years, his mother is gone, and he still has to go home to wake up. The ill-fated Zhang Yuantuan just turned 50 and unfortunately died because of illness and treatment. In this way, he failed to serve * * * for many years, and the biggest official position is the secretary of the CPC (Zuo Yude, from the five products).
While working in imperial academy, Zhang Yuan Tuan did several things that were widely praised, although there were no outstanding achievements.
First, when the wizard Xu Wei killed his second wife because of mental illness, Zhang Yuantuan, out of love for talents, tried his best to defend Xu Wei's innocence with the relevant personnel and dredge the relationship in many ways so that Xu Wei would not be investigated for criminal responsibility. Xu Wei was deeply moved by this incident. After hearing the news of Zhang Yuantuan's death, Mr. Lao Xu went to Zhang Fu with crutches and cried very dark.
Second, Zhang Yuantuan is an upright official, never taking bribes, and has no amateur * * *, gray income and so on. To support a large family with a meager salary (about ten meters a month), some people can't make ends meet, and the family often makes ends meet. In order to subsidize the family, Mrs. Zhang, who is diligent and housekeeping, often knits some manual needlework and takes it to a street stall to earn some pocket money ("netting towels every day"). Because it was knitted by the first lady, it sold well in the market ("People say,' This was made by the first lady'") Competitive sales ").
Third, after embarking on a more important job, the Zhang Yuan delegation began to persistently complain about his father's grievances and begged * * * to rehabilitate him and enjoy the treatment of the late Gao Qian. Maybe he thinks it is more convenient to talk to the top leader at this time, because he has given this leader several special counseling lectures. However, Wanli did not give him the face of being a teacher and rejected the appeal. Zhang Yuan, who was deeply ashamed to face his father in the grave, couldn't get over it for a while, but he couldn't afford to get sick and died of depression ("the emperor forbade him to resume his fatherhood"). In other words, he was angry.
