In life, you will face various "temptations". Today, I will tell you something about "temptation". This incident originated from an article "Ouyang Duwei" in "Qian Wen Ji" written by Zhu Yunming, one of the "Four Talents of Wumen" (commonly known as "Four Talents in Jiangnan" Zhu Yunming, Tang Yin, Wen Zhengming, and Xu Zhenqing). .
Introduction
The incident took place during the reign of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty (the first year of Hongwu to the thirty-first year of Hongwu). As for the specific year of Hongwu, Zhu Yunming, the author of the original text, did not specify clearly. Zhu Yunming was born in the Ming Dynasty. The year he was born (the fourth year of Ming Yingzong Tianshun, 1460 A.D.) was 62 years away from the 31st year of Ming Taizu Hongwu (1398 A.D.). Calculated, Zhu Yunming lived in an era that was not too long away from Hong Wu's era. According to everyone's understanding of the habits of literati, Zhu Yunming should be well aware of the major events that happened during the Hongwu period. The matter mentioned here, Zhu Yunming only said that it was during the Hongwu period. Firstly, it shows that this event is not an earth-shattering event; Therefore, this story is likely to be the lace of the street talk, and it may be the talk after dinner and tea. You don't need to read it with a straight face, just relax and read it with a smile.
Let's not talk about gossip, let's see what kind of temptation this is that even the emperor can't resist?
Zhu Yuanzhang had a total of sixteen daughters, one of whom was married to the Ouyang family. I'm a little unsure if that's even the case. So, I looked up the information and found that what Zhu Yunming said was well-founded. According to the data, Zhu Yuanzhang's daughter, Princess Anqing, married Ouyang Lun in the fourteenth year of Hongwu (AD 1381). Whether this Ouyang son-in-law is the "Captain son-in-law" in Zhu Yunming's records, there is no way to verify his identity, we can only say that it may be the same person. In order to avoid controversy, it is better for us to refer to this character in the story as "Ouyang Prince Consort". Gossip again.

It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang married a daughter to Ouyang's family, so the princess' son-in-law is naturally Ouyang's son-in-law. It may be due to the uninhibitedness of young people, or it may be influenced by social customs, this Ouyang son-in-law occasionally has affairs with prostitutes. At that time, people with official backgrounds were punished for secretly dating prostitutes without due process. The official background of the identity of the son-in-law is very obvious. He is the son-in-law of the royal family, and he must have a considerable position and rank at the same time. Therefore, it is very inappropriate for a son-in-law to drink with a prostitute when it does not comply with the regulations, and it is not allowed by the legal system at that time. Once such behavior is discovered, prostitutes may be severely punished.
Once, Ouyang's son-in-law recruited four prostitutes to drink together. He himself thought that this matter was done very strictly, very covertly, and would not be discovered. However, I don't know where it was negligent, or where the wind leaked, and the matter of drinking with prostitutes was revealed and exposed. During Zhu Yuanzhang's time, firstly, the laws were more stringent, and secondly, the enforcement of the laws was also in place. Now that the matter had been put on the table, the court had to use the pursuit procedure.
Logically speaking, it is not necessarily the prostitute's fault that the son-in-law brought the prostitute to drink, but the country can't behead the son-in-law and make the princess a widow. Then, you can't control one side, you can only start with the other side. The prostitutes who accompanied Ouyang's son-in-law to drink and have fun suffered a catastrophe. The officials quickly arrested the prostitutes who accompanied the wine that day. These prostitutes are very clear about the official regulations, they thought, this is over, according to the court's decree, it must be a capital offense to have fun with the official's family in private.
Normal people, when faced with death, generally do not sit still. Facing the death penalty, prostitutes have the same desire to survive as ordinary people.
What is the way to think of this, so as to escape the catastrophe and avoid death? After thinking about it, the prostitutes couldn't figure it out. Finally, they thought of a way, that is, self-destroying their appearance, using such a method of self-punishment, and they will never be able to receive customers in the future, maybe they will gain a chance of survival. Think about it at the moment of death, survival is the most important thing, even the most cherished appearance of a woman, even the capital to make a living in the future can only take a backseat. At this moment, being able to survive is the first priority.
Somehow, the idea of ??prostitutes disfiguring themselves reached the ears of an old police officer. This old officer, who has been in the officialdom for many years, is used to the sophistication of the world, and knows many ways of dealing with the world of punishment and prison.
Regarding the romantic case between the son-in-law and the prostitutes, in fact, the old official has already heard the rumors. In his opinion, drinking with prostitutes is actually not a big deal. In the officialdom, there are many people who do this. It's just that Ouyang's son-in-law has bad luck, so he was caught. Relatively speaking, it is not a big deal for Ouyang Prince Consort to be caught.Wait until the girls are caught in front of the Holy Spirit and are about to be executed. The Holy One asked the girls if they had anything to complain about. The girls just wept pitifully and sadly without saying a word.
The Holy Majesty looked at the people on the left and right, and said:
"Tie up a group of criminals and beat them to death with sticks."
According to the law at the time, these prisoners who were to be beaten to death with clubs were not allowed to wear clothes. The officers who were about to perform the binding motioned the arrested girls to take off their clothes.
The girls took off their jewelry and clothes one by one as required. From the outside to the inside, these girls are all wearing gorgeous, bright, dazzling and good clothes. There are so many pearls, jade and gold shells on the ground. Golden, shining, dazzling. During the whole process when they took off their obscene clothes and were almost naked, their attire was not at all ambiguous, very particular and exquisite; when their skin was exposed, it was as warm as jade, with a breathtaking fragrance , swaying the soul, even the people around are a little confused and a little drunk.
When the Holy Majesty saw this scene, his heart moved, and a wave of warmth flowed through his body. He said to the crowd:
"These little girls, even if the widows see them, they will be confused by them. One can imagine what the son-in-law will do to them."
So, the Holy One angrily asked his subordinates to let the girls go.
