The inner house turned into splendid ashes, and the heavenly street trampled on the bones of the secretary of state. In the last years of the Tang Dynasty, the Yellow Nest rose up and launched a huge peasant uprising. Huang Chao's rebel army, military discipline is extremely corrupt. Everywhere Huang Chao's troops went, they burned and plundered. Both the dignitaries and the common people were devastated by the Huangchao rebels.
At that time, there was an official of Wang Duo who was ordered to fight against huang chao's rebel army. According to the etiquette system at that time, the general led the army to go out, and the wife and children had to stay within the control of the imperial court. When a general is loyal to the country, the imperial court will give him a seal of his wife. If the general surrendered to the enemy, the court would kill his wife and children.
In ancient times, polygamous concubines were practiced, and a man could only have one wife, but could have several concubines. Wang Duo went to fight, and his wife was left in the rear, so he took a concubine with him on the expedition. After the wife heard about it, she immediately turned the tide of vinegar. The wife did not know what method was used, got rid of the control of the imperial court, and rushed to the front.
Wang Duo was afraid of his wife, the kind of wife who was afraid to die. When Wang Duo heard that his wife had rushed to the front, he had a premonition that something was wrong. Wang Duo thought about it and felt that although the Yellow Nest was terrible, his wife was even more terrible. After a fierce ideological struggle, Wang Duo decided to surrender to Huang Chao with his concubines before his wife rushed to the front.

Because Wang Duo was afraid of his wife, he surrendered to the murderous enemy, which shows the fear of his wife during the Sui and Tang dynasties. The four most famous people in the Tang Dynasty who were afraid of their wives were Fang Xuanling, Ren Gui, Ruan Song, and Wang Duo. Their deeds, recorded in many ancient books, can be said to be widely circulated.
The representative figure of the Tang Dynasty who was afraid of his wife was Fang Xuanling. When Fang Xuanling was in the Sui Dynasty, he was only a minor official. Fang Xuanling's wife is Fanyang Lu, one of the five surnames and seven wangs. The Lu clan married Fang Xuanling, so fang Xuanling was managed to death. The other officials were all the blessings of the Qi people, but Fang Xuanling did not have a single concubine.
Li Shimin felt that Fang Xuanling was pitiful, so he gave Fang Xuanling two concubines. The Lu clan refused to let go, and Fang Xuanling did not dare to take a concubine. Li Shimin asked Empress Eldest Sun to come forward to persuade him, but Lu still did not agree. Li Shimin stepped forward and forced Lu to let Fang Xuanling take a concubine. Lu Shi would rather drink poisonous wine than share Fang Xuanling with other women, which led to the allusion of "jealousy".
Ren Gui was the talented son of Southern Chen, and after the Sui Dynasty destroyed Southern Chen, he lived a hard life for more than 30 years. When Li Yuan raised an army, Ren Gui, who was nearly a year old, defected to the Tang army. Ren Zhen was a command-type general in the early Tang Dynasty, who commanded many battles and never lost a battle. Li Yuanjia made Ren Zhen the Duke of Guanguo, giving Ren Zhen a taste of bitterness and sweetness.

Ren Zhen's father died early, and he was an orphan. When Ren Zhen was young, he was favored by everyone in the East Liu Clan of the Boudoir River, so he embraced the beauty. Liu's family lineage was much better than Ren Zhen's, and he spent more than forty years of hard life with Ren Zhen. When Ren Zhen became a great instrument in the late stage, he was afraid of the Liu clan, so he did not dare to take a concubine.
Li Shimin ascended the throne as emperor and appointed Ren Zhen as the Shangshu of the Bingbu. When Li Shimin saw that Ren Gui was a proper wife, he gave two concubines to Ren Gui. As soon as Ren Zhen brought the concubine home, Liu Shi was furious. The Taiping Guangji records that Liu Beat up two concubines violently, which ended in angering Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was furious and ran to the Guan Guo Gong Mansion. Li Shimin forced Liu to accept two concubines, or else he would drink the poisonous wine. Li Shimin used the trick of dealing with Fang Xuanling's wife to deal with Ren Zhen's wife. Liu Shi was also unambiguous, and drank the poisonous wine without hesitation. The poisoned wine was fake, and Liu Shi was not dead. Li Shimin was also afraid, so he had to give a mansion and place Ren Zhen's two concubines there.
Ruan Song was a county commander under Li Shimin, and this Jun was also a man who feared his wife like a tiger. Once, Ruan Xian Ling socialized, invited singers to perform a program, and gave the guests a drink.
The Taiping Guangji records that Lady Ruan heard that Ruan Song had invited a singer and rushed out with a knife. As soon as the singer saw that the situation was not right, she quickly retreated. The guests who came to drink saw that Madame Ruan was mad and scattered.
The singer and the guests can run, but Ruan Song does not dare to run. Poor Ruan Song, the head of a county, was frightened by the lady with the knife and hid under the bed, trembling but afraid to escape. I read the record of "Taiping Guangji", and my brain made up the scene at that time, and I couldn't help but laugh.
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the status of women was much higher than that of women in later generations, and men who were afraid of the inside abounded. Under such a trend, it is not surprising that celebrities such as Fang Xuanling, Ren Gui, Ruan Song, and Wang Duo can be produced.
