This person married his "sister" and later gave birth to a son, which influenced China's history for nearly a hundred years
As we all know, the phenomenon of marriage between close relatives is not allowed in modern times, but it often happens in ancient times, flipping through history books, the most typical feeling is the green plum bamboo horse, two small no guess, two people have been relatives since childhood, cousins and cousins get along. When the child grows up, the parents of both sides are combined, and then find a matchmaker to form a kissing and kissing in-law relationship. However, it is usually cousins who marry, and cousins rarely do this.
In the history of the Qing Dynasty, there was such a person, who married his "sister" (the righteous daughter adopted by his father from childhood) and gave birth to a son, which influenced the history of China for nearly a hundred years. This person is Li Wen'an. The son born was named Li Hongzhang. Mention Li Hongzhang, China's modern history should be known to everyone.
Together with Zeng Guofan, Zhang Zhidong, and Zuo Zongtang, he was known as the "Four Famous Ministers of Zhongxing". Posthumously awarded to Taifu (太傅), The Marquis of Suyi of the First Rank of jin, and Yuwen Zhong (谥文忠). However, such a great and excellent man is the product of "close marriage", he is the second son of his father Li Wen'an and his "sister". He is also a figure who has influenced China's modern history for a hundred years! In fact, the main reason for the high birth rate and low survival rate of ancient people is not only low productivity, backward environment and other reasons, but also the concept of "kissing and kissing"!
In line with the reasons of "fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders", "green plum bamboo horses", "two small no guesses", and "kissing and kissing", cousins often marry, although, later this situation gradually decreased, but there are still some, today we will take a look at this pair of "brothers and sisters"
Li Wen'an was the fourth son of Li Dianhua, who was loyal and honest from an early age, studying hard, but he was frail and sickly. Later, because her father knew a little medical skill, she adopted an abandoned daughter who was abandoned because of smallpox as her own righteous daughter, and this woman was not only skillful in her heart, but also grateful for the reward, in order to repay the righteous father's life-saving and nurturing grace, she was obedient and obedient from an early age, helping the righteous mother to take care of internal affairs, and helping the righteous father to take care of the weak brother.
People have feelings, and over time, the two people are secretly in love! Coupled with the fact that they are only "righteous brothers and sisters" who have the name of brothers and sisters but no brothers and sisters, and the Li family likes this girl up and down, so Li Wen'an and his "sister", a kind girl, have become relatives, but the neighbors are talking about it.
Because the two are not related by blood, or heaven treats this strong and kind girl with extra kindness, their married life is very happy, Li Wen'an has a smooth career, the back house is managed by the lady is very peaceful, the two are also very loving, and have six sons and two daughters! Among them, their second son is the famous Li Hongzhang, thanks to the good education of his mother, his father leads by example, Li Hongzhang is not only very capable, but also has no character to say!
This is the so-called good reward for good! Later, Li Wen'an was promoted to the rank of official Yun Hengtong, and later became the chief of Sichuan, yunnan yuanwailang, supervising the capture of Silangzhong, and taking the name of Yushi. And that girl, with her husband's pity and son's filial piety and contention, was rich and noble in the second half of her life, and lived to the age of eighty-three.
