In the late Qing Dynasty's Penghu Reform Movement, Liang Qichao was its core leader, Liang Qichao prayed for innovation, saved the country, and later became a cultural celebrity, singing for Chinese youth, compared to Kang Youwei, he can be said to be a scholar who cannot be ignored in modern times.
Among the ministers at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the debate on Li Hongzhang was the most, and in the evaluation of many posterity, Liang Qichao may have said the most exquisite words: "I respect Li Hongzhang's talent, I pity Li Hongzhang's knowledge, and I mourn Li Hongzhang's encounter." ”
Li Hongzhang, no matter how his descendants evaluate him, I think everyone has to admit the fact that he is a shrewd person, he is a capable person, a very knowledgeable person, in a series of life opportunities in the ocean, Li Hongzhang took a big ship, although many times shaky, but always safely reached the other shore.
Today, we will not talk about Li Hongzhang's political achievements for the time being, but about his personal family.
Li Hongzhang had the original wife Zhou Shi, she was the niece of Li Hongzhang's teacher Zhou Juchu, when Li Hongzhang was young, although the Li family was poor, but Zhou Juchu was very optimistic about Li Hongzhang, so before Li Hongzhang was founded, he gave his niece Xu to him.
In feudal society, it was a very normal thing for men to have three wives and four concubines, and later after the death of Zhou, Li Hongzhang married another wife, named Zhao Xiaolian, zhao Xiaolian's father, Zhao Fu, who once served in the Hanlin Academy, and Li Hongzhang was also here at that time.
In 1863, Zhao Xiaolian married Li Hongzhang as his wife, that is, during this period, Li Hongzhang's career soared to the top, suppressing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, suppressing the Twist army, and doing foreign affairs.
Zhao Xiaolian and Li Hongzhang loved each other all their lives, and she gave birth to Li Hongzhang's son Li Jingshu and two daughters, one of whom was named Li Jurong.
Today, the protagonist we want to talk about is Li Jurong.
In 1888, Li Hongzhang announced that he would give his 22-year-old daughter Li Jurong to zhang Peilun, a 40-year-old minister who had been widowed.
People who don't know see Li Hongzhang making such a decision are very surprised, Li Jurong is not ugly, and everyone can't figure out why Li Hongzhang would do such a thing.
Zhang Peilun was the minister of shipping in the DPRK at that time, but his luck was not good, in the battle with the French army, the Qing Dynasty was defeated, he became a back cooker, and later after several disappointments, Li Hongzhang could not see it, so he recruited him as his staff.
It turned out that Li Hongzhang and Zhang Peilun's father Zhang Yintang had a close relationship, so he loved Wu and Wu, Li Hongzhang had different feelings for Zhang Peilun, no matter what the outside world said, Li Hongzhang was still very optimistic about Zhang Peilun, so he married his daughter Li Juling to Zhang Peilun.
After Li Juling married Zhang Peilun, the two also respected each other as guests, and there was no major quarrel in life, and later Li Juling gave birth to a son for Zhang Peilun, named Zhang Zhiyi.
Zhang Zhiyi is a clumsy boy, addicted to opium for many years, but Li Jurong was still very strict with him at the beginning, in 1915, Zhang Zhiyi married a woman named Huang Suqiong, 5 years later, Huang Suqiong gave birth to a daughter, the name of this daughter is now in the Chinese literary circles, can be described as a household name, she is Zhang Ailing.
And Zhang Ailing, is Li Juling's granddaughter, I'm afraid Li Hongzhang can't imagine that his granddaughter, after that, will have such a big achievement in literature, everything is a creation of people.
