Speaking of famous adulterers in history, it is the Ximen official who has the most famous reputation. Unlike the general prodigal brother, Ximen Qing has always been handsome and dashing, Yushu Linfeng, plus his own industry is very large, and his family is solid. Therefore, in the marriage market, this is a typical high-quality stock, which is very popular with girls. Although Ximen Qing himself's final ending is not the same, but whether He is in "Water Margin" or "Jin Ping Mei", he is an unforgettable figure, and the whole book is even more wonderful because of his existence. But did you know that this character, who seems to live only in books and legends, is not virtual in reality? He is not a character invented by Shi Nai'an or Xiao Xiaosheng, but he really has a prototype! This person is no one else, it is Yan Shifan, who is known as the "first ghost talent of Jiajing" in the Ming Dynasty.
Yan Shifan was the son of Yan Song, a ming dynasty treacherous tyrant. Although he was born to Yan Song, his appearance was very different from Yan Song's. The historical Yan Song has always been known for his tall and thin appearance and sparse eyebrows. Yan Shifan, on the other hand, had a short neck and a white body, shaped like a giant ball, forming a strong contrast with his father. Yan Shifan's nickname is "Qing'er", and the number is "East Building". Originally, he and Ximen Qing in the book could not fight together. However, according to experts, Xiao Xiaosheng, the author of "Jin Ping Mei", should be wang Shizhen, a literary giant of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Shizhen's father Wang Chen,000, was framed and imprisoned by the two men for their feud with Yan Song's father and son, and was soon beheaded in Xishi. Therefore, Wang Shizhen hated Yan Shifan's father and son very much, so when compiling the "Golden Plum Bottle", he corresponded Yan Shifan's name "East Building" to "Ximen", which not only wrote about the decay of his life in the book, but also created a rich and handsome "Yan Shifan", which was full of irony.
As the saying goes, greed is adultery, and fornication is greed. As the archetypal character of Ximen Qing, this one-eyed fat man naturally has everything to do. According to statistics, Yan Shifan had a total of 27 wives and concubines, and there were countless handmaidens who were good friends with him. He entertained himself with a golden tent of teeth, singing and dancing at night, and extravagance became fashionable. With the help of his father Yan Song's power, he gained a lot of benefits and caused the people to complain.
However, although Yan Song is a drunken fan, he also has his own very outstanding skills. He is not proud of his appearance, but he is cunning and witty, familiar with the canonical system, and better at probing people's hearts. Through the emperor's favor, years of impeachment not only did not affect him, but also killed many officials. Even Zhu Zaiyuan, the third son of the Jiajing Emperor, once gathered more than 1,000 taels of silver to honor him and ask him to do things, which showed the great power of his power.
However, although Yan Shifan's power was tilted toward the opposition, after all, the emperor was the biggest, and he could not escape death after all. In Xu Jie's impeachment, he pushed Yan Shifan into the bottomless abyss on the charges of treason, treason, adultery, and three crimes. Eventually he was beheaded, and his father, Yan Song, was stripped of his official position and has been homeless ever since. When he died, he was buried in a coffin, and no one mourned him.
