The widow married five times, and the poor man did not believe in evil, and eventually became a famous minister
In ancient times, a woman's reputation was very important, so she had to follow her father's teachings before leaving the court, she had to follow her husband's wishes after marriage, and her husband had to obey her children's decision when she died. In this way, the marriage of the children of the family can be unhindered.
During the Qin Dynasty, there was a woman who had an ill-fated fate and married five times, but each marriage ended in failure, and no one was willing to marry her. However, a poor scholar became interested in the woman and married her home.
In the end, this scholar became a generation of famous ministers, and this woman also enjoyed all the glory and wealth. So, what kind of story exactly happened between them? Let's talk about this together.
During the Qin Dynasty, women were free to choose to remarry after the death of their husbands, and the concept of marriage was relatively open. There is a woman, because of her outstanding appearance and wealthy status, every time she gets married, she has a large amount of dowry, which makes many men envious.
However, sadly, all five of her husbands died mysteriously, resulting in her never being able to find a suitable partner. Although her experience was surprising, she always maintained a cheerful and optimistic attitude, believing that one day she would find her own happiness.
This woman is first-class in terms of appearance and wealth, but no one dares to marry. Why? Because her husbands died mysteriously one by one, she was rumored to be "Kefu".
This made her unable to enter the palace of marriage, which also became a problem for her family. Especially her grandfather Zhang Cheng, who was even more distressed about his granddaughter's experience, but could not do anything about it.
In order to find a man who is willing to marry his granddaughter, he sends matchmakers to find around.
In this particular environment, Zhang Cheng noticed a poor scholar, who was later famous as Chen Ping. I decided to marry my granddaughter to him. At that time, no one thought that this decision would make them not only not put the scholar in trouble, but helped him soar and eventually become a generation of famous ministers of the Han Dynasty in the days after their marriage.
Although Chen Ping came from a poor background, he had outstanding talent. According to historical records, he was the founder of the Western Han Dynasty, although there is no specific record of his birth date, only that he died in 179 BC.
At an early age, Chen Ping showed something different, unlike other children who like to climb trees and fish, he loves to read and learn very much. At that time, the neighbors thought that Chen Ping's future would be very bright.
Although Chen Ping's family was poor and his parents died young, his brother and sister-in-law have always lent him a helping hand. Although his income is meager, Chen Ping devotes all his time to studying and knows nothing about the farmland.
This sparked the resentment of his sister-in-law, who believed that he, as a man, could not earn income for the family and instead relied on their support. In contrast, Chen Ping's brother has a firm belief in him that he will be able to achieve something in the future.
Chen Ping's sister-in-law constantly complained about him in front of outsiders, which made Chen Ping's brother furious, and finally decided to divorce his wife and kick her out of the house.
Chen Ping and his brother depend on each other, and as Chen Ping reaches the marriageable age, his poetry and book temperament and handsome appearance are not cared for because of his poor family background. For him, marrying an ordinary woman is not a wish, but the daughter of a rich family.
Such an opportunity made him valued by Zhang Cheng and married his granddaughter to him. Zhang's woman's conditions fully met Chen Ping's standards, and the coincidence of fate allowed him to meet the right person.
Men and women, who originally had their own shortcomings, may just be fate when they get together. But when the two were united, they seemed to be a natural pair. Chen Ping's marriage to Zhang not only improved his living situation, but also helped him become a generation of famous ministers.
Chen Ping's success does not depend on luck, but on the basis of reality.
Chen Ping's life changed not only because of his knowledge and ability, but also because of the support he received from the combination with Zhang. There is no shortage of such things today. As the saying goes: "If you can't even solve the problem of food and clothing, how can you have the energy to talk about etiquette?
Although Chen Ping is from a poor family, he is talented, but if his talent is not guaranteed by a material foundation, it may be difficult to achieve success. Zhang was born in a wealthy family, and after marriage, she brought a lot of property to Chen Ping from the family, so that he no longer had to worry about food and clothing, and he had more funds to climb up.
The use of resources is profitable, and the road is getting wider and wider. After eating enough and having money, Chen Ping was able to study with peace of mind, make many friends, and have the financial resources to make friends with social heroes.
In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, society was in turmoil, and various uprisings occurred frequently. Chen Ping keenly grasped this historical opportunity, and after a series of twists and turns, he finally chose to follow Liu Bang and became his important advisor and lieutenant.
Chen Ping's talent has been fully demonstrated under the leadership of Liu Bang, and his strategy has helped Liu Bang solve crises many times and made many achievements. Chen Ping, with his outstanding strategic talent and unique conspiracy methods, made great contributions to Liu Bang's success.
It can be said that without Chen Ping's help, Liu Bang would not have gotten rid of Fan Zeng so easily, nor would he have defeated Xiang Yu so smoothly and established the Western Han Dynasty. After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, Chen Ping was rewarded for his outstanding contributions and became the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty.
Chen Ping is not only wise, but also emotionally intelligent. He did not hold military power, but only held a civilian position, which made Liu Bang feel deeply reassured. Among the civil and military generals who followed Liu Bang to fight the world, there are only a handful of heroes who can die well, and Chen Ping is one of them.
Who would have thought that the poor scholar who was poor and almost couldn't marry a daughter-in-law would later become a generation of famous ministers in the Western Han Dynasty, leaving a glorious historical mark.
Chen Ping's life has changed dramatically, and the contribution of his wife Zhang cannot be ignored. The wealth she brought provided Chen Ping with a huge boost. What are your unique insights on this?
