Chen Shimei was born in a poor family, but he was in love and harmony with his wife Qin Xianglian. After studying hard for ten years, Chen Shimei went to Beijing to catch the exam, but after becoming the top scholar, he was hired by Song Renzong. Qin Xianglian waited for a long time, but Chen Shimei didn't hear from him, so he took his son to Beijing to find Chen Shimei, but Chen Shimei refused to recognize Qin Xianglian and sent Han Qi to kill Qin Xianglian and his mother in the middle of the night. Han Qi couldn't bear to commit suicide for morality, but what he didn't expect was that Qin Xianglian was mistaken for a murderer and went to prison.
On orders from Chen Shimei, Qin Xianglian was sent to the frontier and ordered your honour to kill her on the way. Luckily, she was saved by Zhan Zhao. Bao Zheng wanted to punish Chen Shimei for his crimes, but he didn't prove it. Chen Shimei brought Qin Xianglian back to the Xu family for a pretence, and forced Qin Xianglian to stamp and sign the divorce certificate in the name of his son. On the other hand, Zhan Zhao went to Chen Shimei's hometown to look for the witness couple, but on the way, Aunt Qi died by the murderer's sword. Bao Zheng found a witness and wanted to convict Ma Xu. The Princess and the Empress Dowager arrived and stopped Bao Zheng, but Bao Zheng never gave in and sent Chen Shimei to the leader.
However, according to scholars' research, there are indeed people like Chen Shimei in history, but Chen Shimei is a loyal minister, and the relationship between husband and wife is very good. Chen Shimei is from Hubei. A fellow villager wants to find him through the back door. Chen Shimei must have refused him with righteous words, so this fellow villager wanted to get back at Chen Shimei. He wrote such a play that Chen Shimei abandoned his wife and children and performed it everywhere. In this way, it spread, and he just slandered a good man into a historical sinner. This is very wrong.
However, things have reversed. Some people say that the historical prototype of this scholar's textual research is the old valley of the Qing Dynasty, but this is obviously a false textual research. 1992, danjiangkou city found an inscription about Chen Shimei, and Chen Shimei was really an honest official who observed people's feelings. Those so-called loving the poor and the rich, killing his wife and children imposed on him are all done by people who are jealous of the virtuous. But how could Chen Shimei in Qing Dynasty be defeated by Bao Gong in Song Dynasty? Do you think this is true or false? Why unilaterally evaluate Chen Shimei?
