In the early years of the Republic of China, there were many warlords of all sizes, warlords were in cacophony, and the people were not happy. At that time, many warlords were some mixed world kings and demons, bullying men and women, and doing absurd things. However, there are also some "clear streams" among these big bosses, such as Wu Peifu, Duan Qirui and others, who do not say anything about what they have done before, at least they face the threats and temptations of the Japanese, and their national integrity is worthy of respect. And our protagonist Duan Qirui today is even more of a strange person, he went out in the middle of the night, met the third aunt who came back in disheveled clothes, and his way of handling it was really amazing.
In the early days of the Republic of China, although monogamy was emphasized, the dignitaries still prevailed in three wives and four concubines, especially some great warlords married a large number of aunts, three palaces and six courtyards, just like the emperors of ancient times. As the leader of the Anhui warlords, Duan Qirui was no exception, and he also had several aunts and wives.
It's just that Duan Qirui married his aunt because he was not as greedy for beauty as other warlords, and he mainly wanted a son. He has always been very respectful and trusting of his wife, often taking his wife out to participate in various activities, not the young aunts and wives, but this also laid hidden dangers for his "harem".
In 1926, Duan Qirui was driven out of the wilderness and the family moved from Beijing to Tianjin. Because he was very incorruptible during his reign, his economic situation was relatively bleak after he left the wilderness, coupled with his loss of power, and he neglected to discipline his aunt and wife. When he went out to recuperate, his aunts and wives were not willing to be lonely, often dressed up in flowers, sneaked out of the house to watch movies, listen to plays, and even attend dances, and did not come home until midnight.
Once, Duan Qirui went out and came back, and met the third aunt who came back in disheveled clothes. Duan Qirui was a big man who had been in a high position for a long time, and his eyes were very poisonous, and he could see at a glance that his third aunt was too sure to mess with others, and something had happened. At that time, Duan Qirui was very angry, and also slapped the third aunt, which frightened the third aunt, who knew that the next day Duan Qirui did not clean her up, and directly arranged for someone to send her back to her mother's house.
This is not the end, the roof leaked overnight rain, and soon after the scandal of the third aunt, the scandal of the fourth aunt was also exposed. The fourth aunt is too beautiful as a flower, Zhishu Dali, Duan Qirui is very fond of. It's just that this fourth aunt doesn't like Duan Qirui and has her own crush. After Duan Qirui learned about it, he was not angry this time, his approach was simply absolutely desperate, and ordinary men could not do it at all.
Duan Qirui actually endured the pain of cutting love, fulfilled the marriage of his fourth aunt and the person he loved, and let his wife send her out of the door like a daughter. For a time, Duan Qirui let his aunt get married, which became a good story at that time. Subsequently, Duan Qirui's approach was even more desperate, in order to avoid such a scandal again, he directly sent all his aunts and wives away.
In the face of the scandal of his aunt's wife, Duan Qirui can do this, and ask how many men can do it. Although Duan Qirui made a republic, although he also did some wrong things, in his later years, in the face of the threat of the Japanese, he refused to cooperate with the Japanese, and his national integrity deserved respect. On November 2, 1936, Duan Qirui died in Shanghai Hongen Hospital at the age of 72.
