What are the interesting historical stories of Ming and Qing Dynasties?
During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, officials in Beijing often used the word "Chen" to make fun of people with good temper. Chen, editor-in-chief of Hanlin, How good-tempered is this guy? Seeing bosses and subordinates in officialdom is all smiles, and they don't care how much they suffer. Once a friend visited his house. He just caught up with his wife and got angry with him. Tell her to make tea, but she said with a cold face that she didn't cook it and ordered her to put some fruit. She even said angrily, "I didn't buy it." So Chen Yin just smiled and said, "Let it be" when he hit her husband in the face in front of outsiders. But I see friends around me laughing. The image of "Chen is worth mentioning" has since spread like wildfire. But not long after, agents from the West Factory ran amok, broke into Yang Shiwei's house in the middle of the night, dragged the Yang family into the yard and tortured them. Such a bad act made the ministers of the DPRK, who were usually five or six people, run around in hiding, but as soon as they saw Chen Yin, they climbed the wall of Yang Shiwei's house and shouted at the spies of the West Factory: I am Chen Yin, editor of the Imperial Academy, and you set up a court to trample on the national law. See how I impeach you tomorrow! In a word, he really scared the fierce detective in the West Factory and ran away with oil on his feet. The so-called strength of character, like "Chen" at this moment, is not so imposing on weekdays, but the key moment is to see a hero.
