Zuo once refused to write a recommendation letter for his nephew. Why doesn't he want to write?

As we all know, the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty was very corrupt, and he hoped to be promoted to the backstage. But in the late Qing Dynasty, Zuo Zongtang, who hated it, never wrote a letter of recommendation again. He said, "one will have a place to use it." I have been waiting in Fujian for many years, and there is no difference between yellow and blue. I have seen letters of recommendation written by officials, which I have always lacked and I am envious. After that. He thought that his father had a good relationship with Zuo before, so he ran to Beijing to find Zuo and planned to go his way.

Zuo is very happy to see his son. However, when Huang Lan asked him to write a letter to Zuo, the governor of Fujian, Zuo immediately changed his face and said to him, "If you are willing to give up the official return, I will give you 40 acres of land. Forget it. The back door didn't leave. Yellow and black are a point. One day, when he was idle in the glass factory, he saw a small shopkeeper writing Zuo Zongtang's calligraphy, which was very realistic, so he moved his heart and thought of a wonderful quantity. He asked his host to write fans, and Mr. Lu occupied the mountainous area and then went to Fuzhou. After returning to Fuzhou, Huang Laha quickly went to see the governor of Fujian. Although the weather is not hot, the fan wind is still shaking. The governor was very surprised and said, "Durich, did you do this?" Huang Lan said, "It's really not that hot outside. But this is my father's friend. My father's father, Zong Wei's leftist, gave it, so he won't let go. "

When the governor saw it, it was written on the left. It was really old for the elder, for the elder and for Zuo Ren. The governor consulted with the teacher. Master Zuo said he didn't write him a letter of recommendation, which may be empty. The governor is considerate, and Zuqi is a red man in front of the emperor. If he speaks ill of me in front of the emperor, I may lose my life. I let Huang Lan live for many years, but I didn't give him this order. It seems that if we don't give him a real position, I'm afraid. So, the next day, he appointed Huang as magistrate of a county.

I heard Huang Lanling exultation and immediately came up. On one occasion, the governor went to Beijing to handle affairs. When I see Zuo, I want to say, "Is your Hidemie yellow or fixed?" Zuo Zongjun said, "If he thinks he is talented, he will continue to use it without looking at my face!" "This time, the satrap misunderstood the meaning of Zuo, thinking that Zuo Gong was not inconvenient. Continue to push Huang Lan's bill when you come back. After several years of scenery, the skilled dry Huanglan pear has been upgraded to the position of four products. Later, Hua Lan stepped on Kanzo Tang Zong. Zuo specially asked him to take a fake fan and said, "Because this fan has completed its mission, let me keep it." When Huang Lan stepped on it, Zuo Zha immediately asked his family to burn the fan. He said: "It is my principle not to suggest. I don't want this fan to affect my life. "
