The behavior of a small person who was afraid of his wife could actually advance the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
The protagonist who triggered this incident, named Mao Yujian Hubei Public Security, was a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, who served as the inspector of yushi in the capital as a Zhengqipin official. But don't underestimate this seven-pin official, although the grade is not high, but the responsibility and rights are very large and are given the power of direct adjudication, just like the emperor himself, that is to say, if the other party is not accustomed to you, just find a reason to do you. Therefore, this official position made the ministers of the DPRK very jealous.
This leads to Mao Yujian being unhappy to see no one, and seeing that everyone has to say two words of hi, especially likes to talk about other people's affairs, because they are not accustomed to what the castration party has done. He wrote to impeach Wei Zhongxian's henchmen Yang Weiyuan and Ruan Dacheng, but because of his weak strength and no right to speak in the emperor, he was soon relegated back to his hometown in Hubei, so he said that he should not be too arrogant, and he would not die if he kept a low profile.
Fortunately, when Zhu Youjian became emperor and eliminated Wei Zhongxian's henchmen, he was reactivated and reinstated in Beijing again, but this time he did not bring his wife Wen Shi, don't look at his commanding spirit in the imperial court, spraying invincible hands all over the world. But he has a fatal weakness is that he is afraid that his wife is the same as Qi Jiguang, who is the top of the big name, the typical phoenix man, who is promoted to a rich and dead wife, is the ultimate dream of some men, and it is also the dream of Mao Yu Key, but his wife Wen Shi, the body thief is delicious and fragrant, so Mao Yu Key can only take the sword to the side, take a room of concubines in the capital, and live a two-person world of leisure. But there is no impermeable wall in this world, and soon the matter of Mao Yu Key's concubine was known to his wife Wen Shi, this Wen Clan is not a fuel-saving lamp, came to the capital at a lightning speed, and caught the two of them in bed, the poor concubine was half killed by Wen Shi, and Mao Yu Key was rewarded with two big slaps, and was also asked to kneel outside for one night, which made Mao Yu Key very depressed, how can he not figure it out, Hubei to the capital so far, how can his wife come so fast, but he found the problem when he thought about it, What made his wife rush to the capital was the Transportation Hub Of the Ming Dynasty.
During the Ming Dynasty, the post station had some functions such as post office and information transmission, originally the establishment of the station was mainly for the purpose of the war, and in the late Ming Dynasty, the station gradually evolved into a tool for imperial court officials and their wives and daughters to play in the mountains. Mao Yujian, who decided that the problem appeared in the station, was angry from the heart, and planned to play immediately, asking for the cancellation of the station that the Ming Dynasty had lasted for hundreds of years, but Mao Yujian thought that he might not move the emperor, so he contacted Liu Mao, a distant relative who was also an official in the imperial court, and wrote to the Chongzhen Emperor to ask for the cancellation of the station, but the first time he wrote to the emperor, Chongzhen did not agree, after all, this is what the old ancestor left behind, where can he say to withdraw, ah, but Mao Yujian This person has perseverance. He then went to report that because the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty were fighting happily at that time, military spending had always been a problem. Mao Yujian told Chongzhen about the drawbacks of the station, and the station had to support so many people, and it could not bring benefits to the country, and it was also used by officials for private use, and it was simply withdrawn, and it could save a lot of money. Mao Yujian also gave a detailed account, the abolition of the station can be left with 600,000 taels of silver a year, the brain door is full of poor ghost two words Chongzhen, as soon as he heard that there was money, he immediately agreed to cancel the station.
But what the Chongzhen Emperor did not expect was that as soon as the station was withdrawn, there were a large number of unemployed people, about 200,000 people, including a Shaanxi monk, Li Zicheng, who was laid off from the Yinchuan station and rushed to his hometown in frustration. Work is no longer difficult to live, but also to continue to live, big deal to go home to farm, but what he did not expect is that this year in Shaanxi drought, the red land has no harvest, and many pests in the field have died, let alone people. But this is the case, the imperial grain of the imperial court is also not seen, which makes Li Zicheng, who has no job, depressed and dies, as such, he will starve to death sooner or later, fortunately, he met a nobleman, came forward to help him solve the urgent need, this good man is called Ai Zhao, is a lifter, he lent money to Li Zicheng to tide over the difficulties, but there is interest on borrowing money, Li Zicheng has no job and no income, and the interest rate of borrowing money several times is faster than the principal, typical usury, and soon it is time to repay interest. Old Master Ai sent people to collect it, but Li Zicheng directly asked for money with both hands without a fatal one, which could put Old Master Ai's anger half to death, directly pressing him to the Rice Fat Gate, and the county ordered Yan Zibin to swim in the city with his weapons and put him to death. To put it simply, he was beaten half to death in public, and Li Zicheng was also lucky enough to be rescued by relatives and friends in his cell. But he was angry, he suffered a lot in prison, he was tortured madly by the servants, the more he wanted to get angry, if it weren't for the murder of a thousand knives and loan sharks, who would suffer these sins, he secretly ran to the creditor's house, killed Ai Zhao, killed people This piece of land must not be able to stay, and this side is still so poor. It is better to take his wife to the south to beg for a living, I heard that there is very rich, as long as there are hands and feet willing to work, they will not die of hunger, so Li Zicheng, who is very worried, rushed home, but as soon as he pushed open the door, he met his wife out of the gui
This scene directly made Li Zicheng stunned on the spot, staring directly at his wife, the three major tragedies of life, there are no more than layoffs, unemployment, debt and imprisonment, and wife running away. He occupied all three things, and the superimposed tragedy of life finally made Li Zicheng erupt again, running to the kitchen and picking up a kitchen knife to cut. In this way, Li Zicheng was also burdened with two lives, and in this case the government could not but ask questions, and could not not die when it came to court, and Li Zicheng, who was cornered, joined the peasant rebel army with his nephew Li Tai, and within a few years he became the leader of the peasant rebel army, and then everyone later knew that the Ming Dynasty, which had existed for more than two hundred years, was overthrown.
All of this also has to be traced to the hairy feather key to raise concubines, if it were not for the hairy feather key to raise concubines, it would not be discovered by the wife, it would not be revoked by the wife, it would not be abolished without the cancellation of the station Li Zicheng would not be unemployed, Li Zicheng would not bump into his own wife out of the gui, not bump into his own wife out of the gui Li Zicheng would not run away and revolt, so the source of all this still had to point to the hairy feather key afraid of the wife, a big butterfly effect.
