Behind Hai Rui's "divorce from wife and concubine": harmful foolish filial piety, cannibalistic etiquette

Original article, has opened the whole network rights protection, plagiarism must be investigated!

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, which was unofficial and greedy, Hai Rui came out of the mud without staining, and became a moral model. Throughout ancient and modern times, the great name of Haiqingtian has become synonymous with Qing officials.

It is true that Hai Rui is noble, pure, and rare, and it is not only reflected in "loyalty", but also in "filial piety". Loyalty and filial piety are both true, and it seems to be a perfect person.

However, historians use it

"Loyalty is like an ant, filial piety is like a beast"

To describe Harry. In other words, Hai Rui's loyalty is foolishness, Hai Rui's filial piety is foolish filial piety, and sometimes, his loyalty makes people feel overwhelmed, and his filial piety is even more chilling.

Speaking of Hai Rui's filial piety, we have to mention the sea mother. There were three great mothers in ancient China, one of which was the mother of Mencius in the "Three Migrations of Mengmu", the second was the mother of Yue Fei in the "Mother-in-law Thorn", and the third was Hai Rui's mother, Xie Shi.

Great mothers are all similar, and the sea mother is also a young widow who raised Harry alone. Haimu pays attention to the education of her children like Mengmu, and haimu is more knowledgeable than Mengmu, although she is a woman, she reads a lot of books, personally teaching Hai Rui 'Filial Piety', "University", "Zhongyong" and other books.

The sea mother not only helped Hai Rui to read the history of the Scriptures, but also guided Hai Rui to become a morally perfect person. The sea mother is both strict with herself and strict with the law, and Hai Rui has been deprived of her childlike heart and happiness by the sea mother since childhood, and living as a saint is the only mission he has been given. When the young Hai Rui showed a little joy as a child, the sea mother "must be stern and righteous."

Under the earnest teaching of Haimu for decades, Hai Rui finally lived to be a loyal and filial son, lived a morally perfect person, and thus became famous in history and praised by all generations. I just don't know what a terrible price Hai Rui has paid for this

: He becomes a cold-blooded monster with no human touch,

All his life, I don't know what happiness is.

Hai Rui is a person without selfish desires, not greedy for money, not greedy for fame, and naturally not greedy for women. However, surprisingly, Hai Rui married three wives and two concubines in his lifetime. What's going on here?

The life of Hai Rui's wife and concubine is recorded in more detail in the "Compilation and Supplement to Wanliye" written by Shen Defu of the Ming Dynasty. After talking about the good mother jellyfish, you may wish to talk about the evil mother-in-law jellyfish, Hai Rui's "flock of wives and concubines" is directly related to the sea mother.

Hai Rui's wife, Xu Shi, is gentle and virtuous, but is not tolerated by her mother-in-law Xie Shi. Xu Shi is a traditional woman who adheres to feudal morality, she has endured anger for many years, and has endured hard work and resentment, but she has been scolded by the sea mother as the reincarnation of a "female mule". However, even though Xu Shi was so rebellious, he was eventually suspended because he had given birth to two daughters in a row and failed to give birth to a male to the Hai family.

After Xu shi was suspended, haimu married a second wife Pan shi to Hai Rui, but this time haimu looked away, unlike Xu shi, Pan shi is not a rebellious person, not willing to be bullied by her mother-in-law, resulting in a rapid escalation of the contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. As a result, Pan was swept out of the house less than a month after marrying into the Hai family.

Compared with the Xu and Pan clans, Hai Rui's third wife, Wang Shi, is much more "contentious", she has two children in a row, and they are both boys, named Haizhong Andi and Haizhongliang respectively. After that, the Wang family gave birth to a daughter to the Hai family. With two sons and a daughter, the Wang family finally did as the mother-in-law wanted on the issue of fertility.

On February 1, 1566, the forty-fifth year of Jiajing (1566), Hai Rui was imprisoned for scolding the Jiajing Emperor for "Public Security Neglect", and in the same year, HaiZhong and Hai Zhongliang died prematurely, for unknown reasons. The doom of the Wang clan began with the death of two sons one after another.

In order to continue the incense, Hai Rui took a concubine surnamed Han after marrying three wives in a row, but it was not long before Han actually hanged himself. Just 11 days later, the Wang family, who was in his prime and in good health, also died violently, the cause of death is unknown.

The bizarre and violent death of the Wang family cannot avoid people's suspicions, some say that they died of illness, some say that they committed suicide, and at that time, some people said that Hai Rui killed his wife, and more people believe that he was forced to die by the sea mother. This matter is still a suspicious case, and it is difficult to verify the authenticity.

Until Hai Rui was in her 70s, she also had a concubine Qiu Shi, who had given birth to a son for Hai Rui, but unfortunately, this child also died at the age of three.

At this point, Hai Rui's three sons and three daughters all died prematurely, one of whom was forced to die by Hai Rui, which was recorded by the Ming Dynasty Yao Shuxiang in the "See Only Edit", which is the famous "Hai Rui killing of women" incident.

(Harry Kills Women)

The "Hai Rui murder" incident began and ended like this: one day, Hai Rui saw her five-year-old daughter eating cakes and asked her where the cakes came from. The daughter replied that it was given by the servant. Hai Rui was furious and scolded, "How can a woman accept a man's cake?" You're not my daughter! You can only count my daughter if you starve to death!" The little girl cried and cried when she heard her father's words, refused to eat, and after 7 days, she really starved to death.

How does a five-year-old little girl know what men and women can't afford to kiss? How can it be unconventional just eating the man's cake? This story is truly bizarre and chilling.

Of course, the author also doubts the authenticity of the "Hai Rui killing woman" incident, will it be fabricated? But this is not the point, the point is that Yao Shuxiang recorded this incident from the position of praising Hai Rui, he commented on the matter and said:

''

Yu said that non-loyal suke did not give birth to this daughter.

This means: It is not a loyal minister like Hai Rui who cannot give birth to such a dignified daughter! The people of the time also had the same evaluation of this matter, saying:

"If you are not a sea duke, you can't give birth to this daughter!"

To paraphrase Mr. Lu Xun, this really is

"Cannibalism"

。 Men and women did not kiss the life of Hai Rui's daughter, and obeyed the in-laws to take the life of Hai Rui's wife and concubine, and although Yu Xiao did not take Hai Rui's life, he lost his minimum humanity.

Like most people, the author also reveres Hai Rui's loyalty and filial piety, but isn't excessive foolishness and filial piety "cannibalistic etiquette"?
