Whether it was me who ** you, or you confused me, if I could do it all over again, I would keep my distance from you, so maybe I'm still the same me, in fact, I know you don't love me, maybe you just met me when you were lonely, you just happened to be lonely, I just happened to be naïve.

You've never been in the play, but I've lost myself.

This is a passage from Jia Pingwa's "Temporary Sitting", perhaps this passage is the truth behind Gao Jie's abduction of Li Zicheng's wife Xing.

Han Jin'er is Li Zicheng's first wife.

Li Zicheng was born in Shuangquanbao, Mizhi County, Yan'an Prefecture, Shaanxi, his father was named Li Shouzhong, who belonged to the rich peasants in the local area, and had two sons, the eldest son Li Hongming and the second son Li Hongji, that is, Li Zicheng.

Although Li Hongming and Li Zicheng are brothers, the age difference is a full 20 years. The year the eldest brother's son Li Guo was born, Li Zicheng was born.

When Li Zicheng and Li Guo were 18 years old, Li Shouzhong asked them for a daughter-in-law. Because of Li Zicheng"Choosing a beautiful woman"., on the contrary, half a year later than his nephew Li Guo married his wife Deng.

Li Zicheng. However, Li Zicheng finally fulfilled his dream and married Han Jin'er, a beautiful daughter-in-law who is known as "Yizhihua". However, Han Jin'er is a lascivious woman, first married an old squire in Xi'an as a concubine, was divorced because of inappropriate life, and then married a Yan'an prison as a concubine but was abandoned, so Li Zicheng, who pursued looks and did not pay attention to the inside, was married as a wife, how can such a romantic wife be kept?

One year, when Li Shouzhong and Li went to Tai'an to enter the incense, and Li Zicheng went to Yan'an again, Han Jin'er, who was alone in the empty house, had an adulterous affair with a gangster named Gai Hu'er in the village.

Half a month later, Han Jin'er and Gai Hu'er were put in bed on the spot by Li Zicheng, who suddenly went home. Li Zicheng was angry and killed his wife Han Jin'er with a knife, and when he wanted to kill Gai Hu'er, he was escaped, and he himself was twisted by everyone and sent to the county office.

Subsequently, Li Shouzhong bought off the government, which saved Li Zicheng from prison.

Xing is Li Zicheng's second wife.

After Li Zicheng's uprising, in the process of looting, he met the beautiful Xing family, and married him, and she was also Li Zicheng's second wife, and was later abducted by Gao Jie.

Gao Guiying is Li Zicheng's third wife and the daughter of Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang.

Dou Meiyi, a concubine accepted by Li Zicheng after entering the Forbidden City, was originally a palace maid in the Ming Dynasty palace.

Here, I will mainly talk about Li Zicheng's second wife, Xing.

"History of the Ming Dynasty: The Biography of Gao Jie" records: Since he became his wife, Xing's Wu Duozhi, was in charge of military resources, and paid food battles every day. Jie Guo's camp, the division is in line with the test. Shi Weijie's appearance, communicating with it, fearing self-enlightenment, seeking to surrender. In August of the following year, Xing returned.

In other words, after Li Zicheng married Xing, because of her courage and intelligence, he arranged for her to be responsible for managing the military supplies of the peasant rebel army.

Because Gao Jie is handsome, he often goes to collect supplies, and after coming and going, the two actually have feelings for each other, and finally hook up and become adulterous.

Afterwards, Gao Jie was worried that his adultery would be exposed, so he simply surrendered to the Ming Dynasty with Xing.

"History of the Ming Dynasty Gao Jie's Biography" records: Jie is a prostitute and poisonous person, and the people congratulate each other when they hear about his death.

According to this, Gao Jie was originally an obscene and poisonous person, and even the people of Yangzhou had to congratulate each other when they heard that he died, which shows that his character is really not good.

Gao Jie. Therefore, it is likely that because of Xing's beauty, he often uses the excuse of receiving supplies to meet Xing, perhaps deliberately hooking up with Xing.

At the same time, Gao Jie is not only handsome, but also a good hand at fighting.

"History of the Ming Dynasty: The Biography of Li Zicheng" records: Guo, Jie is good at fighting, and Jun is good at strategizing.

According to historical records, Li Zicheng has two generals, one is Gu Junen, and the other is Gao Jie, nicknamed "Mountain Harrier", and he is also Li Zicheng's fellow countryman.

This should also be an aspect of Gao Jie's attraction to Xing's.

"History of the Ming Dynasty: The Biography of Shi Kefa" recorded: The news changed, but the law snorted and sighed: "The Central Plains cannot be carried out." ”

Gao Jie was one of the four towns of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and when he died, even Shi Kefa cried bitterly, using "the Central Plains cannot be done" to describe Gao Jie's status at that time, which shows Gao Jie's ability.

However, no matter what Gao Jie said, he was just a younger brother under Li Zicheng, why did Xing abandon his eldest brother and elope with his younger brother?

For Xing's family, Gao Jie often said to people:"Xing has a strategy, I can help myself, not greedy. ”It means that he likes the general style of the Xing family, who can help him, rather than coveting her beauty.

However, according to the Biography of Li Zicheng in the History of the Ming Dynasty, this does not seem to be the case.

"History of the Ming Dynasty: The Biography of Li Zicheng" records: Zicheng is not good for wine, and it is rough and rough, and it shares sweetness and bitterness.

Although Li Zicheng "likes to choose beautiful women", he is not good at drinking, and he is busy with military affairs, Xing is a bit of a widow, and his heart may not be willing to be lonely, so under Gao Jie's hookup, he abandoned Li Zicheng and left.

Gao Jie and Xing.

Perhaps, Li Zicheng has a big problem with the concept of choosing a wife, otherwise how could Han Jin'er and Gai Hu'er's adultery come about.

After Gao Jie surrendered to the Ming Dynasty with Xing, he was appointed as a guerrilla general and was responsible for suppressing the peasant uprising. Especially in the Battle of Yanjing, he defeated Zhang Xianzhong's troops in one fell swoop, and was promoted to deputy chief officer for this merit, and later to chief military officer.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the descendant of the Ming Dynasty royal family, Fuwang Zhu Youxiang, was proclaimed as the emperor, known as the Hongguang Emperor in history, Gao Jie was named Xingping Bo, and Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, Huang Degong and called the Southern Ming Dynasty "Jiangbei Four Towns".

In 1645, when Gao Jie was in Suizhou, he was booby-trapped by Xu Dingguo because of his carelessness of the enemy, and the Southern Ming Dynasty posthumously awarded him as the crown prince, and the Xing family disappeared in the long river of history, and no one knows what the final outcome was.

As the Book of Rites and Universities says:Self-cultivation governs the country, and the world is leveled。How can a hero who can't even handle family affairs well rule the country and level the world, at most he can only be regarded as a generation of reckless heroes. It can be seen that family affairs are also a difficult threshold in life.
