Harry was so poor that he couldn't even afford to eat meat, so why did he marry three wives and two concubines? The truth behind it is infuriating
"We all need to keep a child's heart."
To say that the most famous historical drama, "Daming Dynasty 1566" is definitely one of the best, Douban above the score of 9.7, enough to make it stand out in the historical drama, until today no one can surpass it, largely because: it will be a living Ming Dynasty to play out, it has no supporting role, because everyone is the protagonist, everyone has everyone's wonderful.
Among them, it is necessary to mention the most wonderful person in the play, and also the person who has the most ink - Hai Rui.
Historically, there is a saying of "Beibao Zheng and Nanhai Rui", which is roughly the meaning of the two most famous Qing officials in history, both of whom are known in history for their "fairness and integrity", one is called "Haiqingtian" and the other is called "Bao Qingtian".
However, another name for the Qing official is "poor official", because in ancient times, if it was really an official with a clean wind in his sleeves, he was indeed very poor, and the little Feng Lu that came down in a year was able to eat enough.
But what is surprising is that Why did Hai Rui, an official who was too poor to eat meat, marry three wives and four concubines? The reason behind this is to make people angry.
Or rather, what kind of person is the real Hai Rui in history?
Although in ancient times, three wives and four concubines were not news, but when Hai Rui was in his 70s, he also married a yellow flower girl who was less than 20 years old, but in "Daming Dynasty 1566", a recognized villain was much more secure, even if he did not lack money at all, he married a wife in his life.
This person was Yan Song, who was also a minister who had left a name that had been cursed for eons. It can be seen that in terms of marriage, Yan Song is much more secure than Hai Rui.
In his lifetime, Hai Rui married 9 wives before and after, and each of them had a different surname, one of whom was divorced by Hai Rui because of fertility problems, and the other died of illness in it.
The most tragic is Hai Rui's first wife, who was suspended because he did not give birth to a son for Hai Rui.
One thing that needs to be explained is that it is true that Hai Rui is a clean official, but it is also true that the divorce of his wife and the concubine are also true, there is no contradiction between the two, he is a perfect official, but he is not a perfect husband.
Hai Rui's cramming wife also allowed him to get two sons as he wished, and Hai Rui was already a man in his forties at that time, and in the era when he was a father at the age of fifteen or sixteen, Hai Rui was really an old man.
Here is a point worth saying, the reason why Hai Rui is too poor to eat meat, largely because the Ming Dynasty's Feng Lu is really not much, there are few times in his life to buy meat experience, or because Hai Rui's mother's birthday to buy, the rest of the time, Hai Rui and his family and servants, are full of coarse tea and light rice.
But one of the more prominent things about Hai Rui is that his reputation has always been very good, so even when he was over the age of Hua Jia, he married two young women as he wished.
Moreover, according to experts, Hai Rui's one-month Feng Lu at that time was equivalent to 1300 yuan even today, and if this amount is to support his family and servants, how poor Hai Rui's life can be, naturally it is self-evident.
Another point is that in ancient times, scolding the emperor was a major crime, and the weight was even nine tribes, but Hai Rui dared to openly be dissatisfied with the Jiajing Emperor, because at that time, the Jiajing Emperor was addicted to alchemy and ignored the government, and Hai Rui would rather die than scold Jiajing.
In this incident of cursing the emperor, although Hai Rui did not get any punishment, the Jiajing Emperor put Hai Rui's two sons in a big prison, and finally starved to death in prison.
After the death of his two sons, he married a young woman again, and it should be known that Hai Rui was already an old and rare person at this time, and this time he married his wife in order to have an heir who could inherit the incense.
In the end, the woman gave birth to a son for Hai Rui, but the son died at the age of only 3, and Hai Rui could not withstand this blow, and eventually died with hatred.
Why is Harry criticized for marriage? Largely because Hai Rui is a foolish filial piety, insisting on obeying his mother's words, there must be a man to inherit the incense, during which there were various mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discord, which eventually became the straw that crushed Hai Rui's marriage, and Hai Rui ultimately failed to fulfill his mother's last wish.
Hai Rui had five children before and after, all of whom died when they were still young, and there was also a mess in the family, just as the so-called character determines fate, the incorruptibility in the official arena, but it failed to bring Hai Rui a normal family, which is really sighing.
