In 1882, when there was a military riot in Korea, he asked the Qing court for help, and Yuan Shikai was ordered to lead a Qing army, which quickly quelled the mutiny. During the Sino-Japanese War, Yuan Shikai actively participated in the activities of restoring and changing the law, and wrote a letter of 10,000 words to the Guangxu Emperor, putting forward 12 ideas for training troops in Western France.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai became the direct governor and minister of Beiyang, and implemented a series of new policies such as establishing new schools and advocating agricultural improvement.
But later, he was tempted by the lust for power and established himself as an emperor, so he once suffered many negative evaluations and was said to be a "one-man thief". In his private life, Yuan Shikai, like many traditional dignitaries, had a group of wives and concubines.
Because Yuan Shikai had two women of different ages into his life at the same time, in order to distinguish between his wife and daughter-in-law, he set a rule of shame.
According to the records of modern history, Yuan Shikai was a master of war, and he also had his own set of ideas in politics. He is thoughtful, thoughtful, and adept at making rules in life to solve problems. Therefore, he also came up with an interesting rule for the thorny problem of wives and daughters-in-law.
According to rumors, Yuan Shikai set the rule that both his wife and daughter-in-law could sit at the dinner table together at dinner, but when his wife and daughter-in-law asked him about marriage at the same time, he would ask them: "Are you willing to wear pajamas in front of me?" If their answers are all no, then Yuan Shikai will know that his wife is proposing to him, and if one of them answers in the affirmative, then it is the daughter-in-law who is proposing a kiss to him.
Although this rule seems embarrassing, it shows Yuan Shikai's cleverness and allows him to find a clever dividing line between the two women. After all, his wife and daughter-in-law are people he loves.
Because of this, his body is very bloated and fat, to the point that he can't see his feet when he looks down. Obesity and indulgence made Yuan Shikai's body quickly weaken. In 1916, due to uremia, 57-year-old Yuan Shikai died.
After his death, the fifth aunt, the Yang clan, swept away part of the property, and the other aunts were also pregnant with ghosts, only the third aunt, the Jin clan, committed suicide by swallowing gold. This Kim is a North Korean, and legend has it that she is a Korean princess, or that she is the sister of a North Korean concubine.
In fact, she was just a maid surnamed Jin, and after fornicating with Yuan Shikai, she became his concubine. It is said that after the Jin family married into the Yuan family, he was often embarrassed by his aunt Tai Shen, and his son was also handed over to the Shen family to raise, and he was depressed all day.
Although the above short story is small, it is very interesting. As the power holder at that time, since Yuan Shikai had his own thoughts and methods, he inevitably encountered a lot of tricky things in his life. At this time, we can use our own wisdom and planning to solve problems, and can also provide us with some references, enlightenment and thinking.
Using a shy rule to bring out a person's smart and witty side not only portrays the image of Yuan Shikai, but also arouses everyone's thinking about the historical background and the political and social situation at that time. In short, from Yuan Shikai's rules, we can find that smart people will not be troubled by problems, but will use some whimsy and meticulous planning to solve problems.
