Actually, it's not that Fang doesn't want to take a concubine. It's just that he was unlucky and met a very powerful wife. It can be said that Fang is one of the few special exceptions in this ancient society where men are superior to women-he is afraid of his wife. Because I am afraid of my wife, I dare not take a concubine; Afraid of his wife, he would rather spend his life with her than go against her wishes. Being a prime minister and keeping an aging wife all day long puzzled not only many officials with him, but also Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin. If he deliberately set a good example among court officials, Emperor Taizong sent officials to follow his private life privately, but he found no signs of "cheating". If he showed it to Emperor Taizong on purpose, it was unnecessary. In the Tang Dynasty, a society in which three wives and four concubines also symbolize a man's identity and status, there is no need to show his virtue in this way.
In order to test the true meaning of the party, I tried my best. First, I gave him several stunning beauties on the grounds that he has made such a great contribution to the country, and it is time to enjoy the fun of life. However, Fang just kowtowed like garlic, thanked the Lord for his kindness, but refused to accept the reward, so Taizong's plan failed. Later, Emperor Taizong wanted to present several beautiful women to Fang in various names, but Fang declined politely every time, which made Tang Taizong very angry. After some investigation, Emperor Taizong finally found out the real reason why Fang was unwilling to accept beautiful women: he was afraid of his wife. At the moment, he laughed. It turned out that he wanted to convince Fang to be his wife and then get him some beautiful women.
