Life is long and fleeting, some people see dust, some people see stars
In the ancient feudal dynasty, if there were courtiers who could marry the royal family, ordinary courtiers could immediately become relatives of the emperor and the state, which is what many people dream of! Of course, royal relatives are not so good, sometimes choose to be rich, you may lose your love! What choices do you make when faced with glory and wealth and your own emotions? In fact, as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Song Hong had already set an example for us!
Song Hong, zi zhongzi, Jingzhao Chang'an, was originally the son of Song Shang, the shaofu of the Western Han Dynasty, when the Chimei army invaded Chang'an, he survived with a move of pretending to be dead, and then followed Liu Xiu to conquer the world. After the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Song Hong was given the title of Grand Sikong and ranked third duke.
At first, Liu Xiu did not have many troops, and was chased and killed by Wang Lang all the way, and Liu Xiu fled day and night. In the process of being pursued, Song Hong was unfortunately wounded, and when they fled to Raoyang territory, Song Hong's injuries were already very serious, there was no way to continue to follow the large army, and in the face of the enemy who was in hot pursuit, Liu Xiu could only entrust Song Hong to a family surnamed Zheng.
The Zheng family is very kind and sympathizes with Song Hong, who is seriously injured, so he treats Song Hong like a relative, brings tea and water, eats well and drinks, and takes very good care. Maybe it is a good fate, it just so happens that the Zheng family has a daughter who is two years old, although the girl does not look like a flower, but she is kind and intelligent, and song Hong is more like his brother, decocting soup and boiling medicine, booing cold and asking for warmth, caring and prepared, Song Hong is also very touched. During the time when Song Hong was recuperating, the two established a deep relationship, and after Song Hong's reply, the two became married!
Later, after Liu Xiu ascended the throne, he created Song Hong the Grand Master of Taizhong, and the following year he was also made the Grand Sikong, ranking third duke, and was also made a marquis.
After Liu Xiu became emperor, everything went well, and there was only one thing that he could not rest assured of, that is, his eldest sister! Liu Xiu's eldest brother, second brother, and second sister died in the war, so Liu Xiu cared very much about his eldest sister Liu Huang, who made Liu Huang the Princess of Huyang in the second year of his reign. However, the weather was unpredictable, and Princess Huyang's husband died of illness. Princess Huyang was sullen and unhappy all day for this, and Liu Xiu saw that her sister was upset every day, so she wanted to find another Ruyi Langjun for her.
Liu Xiu successively proposed several candidates for Liu Huang, and Liu Huang felt that it was not okay, so Liu Xiu simply discussed the group of ministers with Liu Huang, hoping to observe who Liu Huang's crush really was. Unexpectedly, Liu Huang's crush was really among the group of ministers, because when it came to several ministers, Liu Huang did not have too many words, but when he mentioned Song Hong, Liu Huang immediately replied: "Song Gongwei Rongde Instrument, the group of ministers is beyond reach." At this point, Liu Xiu understood Liu Huang's meaning, and immediately said to Liu Huang: "Fang and Tuzhi." After all, Liu Xiu was the emperor, and after knowing Liu Huang's meaning, he asked her not to worry, this matter should be considered in the long run!
After some time, the opportunity came, Liu Xiu summoned Song Hong alone and let Liu Huang hide behind the screen. As an emperor, Liu Xiu did not directly say that he wanted to be a matchmaker for his sister, but asked Song Hong in the form of knocking on the side: "Words are expensive and easy to make friends, rich and easy to wife, and people are human?" "This means that in general, when people are rich, they have to change friends, and when they have money, they have to change their wives.
Song Hong had actually received the wind long ago, and he also knew the meaning of Liu Xiu's question, and then he said: "The minister must not forget the friendship of the poor and the lowly, and the wife of the chaff does not go to the church." This means that when people are rich, they must not forget their friends when they are poor, let alone abandon their wives who are suffering together. Of course, Liu Xiu was also Ming jun, and as soon as he heard Song Hong's words, he understood what he meant, so he whispered to his sister behind the screen: "Things are not harmonious." ”
In fact, the history books do not record much about Song Hong's wife, but it is certain that Song Hong cherished his wife with hair very much, because Song Hong's wife did not give birth to an heir to Song Hong, but Song Hong did not divorce his wife, let alone divorce his wife and marry a princess!
Since then, the story of "the wife of the chaff does not go to church" has spread.
From ancient times to the present, how many people have been lost in the wealth and glory and the endless desire, and there are only a few people like Song Hong! Even in modern times, the phenomenon of "expensive and easy to make friends, rich and easy to wife" is still the norm!
Ask yourself how many people can do it:
The poor and the poor must not be forgotten, and the wives of the chaff do not go to church!
