The king of Chu was unable to have children, and the idiom of Huang Xie's dedication to his wife originated, a good story that has been passed down to the world
In the 15-year-old hit TV series "The Legend of Miyue", the love story of Miyue and Huang Xie did not escape the eyes of many audiences, Huang Xie did his best to protect Miyue, Miyue never forgot her lover, such sincere feelings moved the sky and the earth.
However, it should be noted that the play is adapted from Jiang Shengnan's online ** "Empress Dowager Qin Xuan", not based on the official history.
According to research, when Huang Xie came to Qin in his heyday, Mi Yue, who was already the Empress Dowager of Qin Xuan, was already in her eighties, so it is likely that they have never met, or even fallen in love, and the stories in TV series and Internet ** are just artistic treatments beyond reality.
But Mi Yue and Huang Xie are still not lacking in drama in history, today we will talk about the efforts of the famous Chu Chun Shenjun Huang Xie in his later years and his last anecdotes, this is the history of the idiom through a hundred years.
01 Loyal Officer Huangxie
At the end of the Warring States period, Qin's military and economic power grew stronger. In order to defend against a possible invasion of the Qin state and prevent their own country from being annexed or even destroyed, the rulers of other vassal states wanted to acquire talents in order to increase their talent pool and political power. Therefore, all countries are vigorously cultivating"taxi"。
At that time, there were four sons to cultivate"taxi"famous, later generations called it"The Four Sons of the Warring States": Qi Huan Gong Tian Wen, Zhao Huan Gong Zhao Sheng, Wei Huan Gong Wei Wuji, Chu Wang Chun, Shen Jun Huang Xie.
Among these four legends, Huang Xie is the most special.
Legend has it that Huang Xie was the only one of the four who was not a descendant of a noble prince, but his eloquence and profound knowledge won the favor of King Chu Qingxiang, and he was awarded the position of Zuo disciple, which allowed him to participate in the management of the country and discuss *** issues.
At the same time, the fate of another person is also intertwined with Huang Xie: Gao Lie Xiongwan, the son of King Xiang of Chu and the future king of Chu.
In 272 BCE, after decades of defeating the combined forces of Han and Wei, the Qin Empire expanded aggressively and expanded southward, seizing most of the important territory of the Chu state.
Therefore, the state of Chu sent Huang Xie to the state of Qin, and learned that the king of Qin Zhao might unite with Han and Wei to attack the state of Chu, and the state of Chu would face annihilation.
Huang Xie wanted to make peace with Qin, which might be the only way. In Qin, Huang Xie persuaded King Qin Zhao to abandon his plan to attack Chu.
Although the condition of Chu is getting worse, the sick lion is the king of beasts, and it is not a problem to fight to the death, and when both sides are defeated, the fisherman can only be a vassal of other vassal states.
King Qin Zhao immediately accepted Huang Xie's request for peace, first halting the advance of Bai Qi's army, and then allied himself with the state of Chu.
The problem is that while this is a friendship, it also comes at a price: the Chinese side demanded that the state of Chu release the hostages in addition to the state tomb. In the Warring States Period, when there was no spirit of treaty, the usual practice was to send important people to the ruler's country as hostages to ensure that allies would not be stabbed in the back, and the hostages sent by the Chu State were Xiong Wan and Huang Xie, the princes of Chu at that time.
In this way, Xiong Wan was imprisoned in the Qin State for ten years. During this period, Huang Xie's meticulous care and teaching made Xiong Wan's life in a foreign country no longer so unbearable, and they must have formed a deep friendship during the ten years in Qin.
Especially when King Xiang of Chu was in danger, Huang Xie dressed Xiong Wan, detained Xiong Wan, and helped Xiong Wan escape from Qin, making Huang Xie an irreplaceable person in Xiong Wan's heart.
After Xiong Wan (i.e., King Chu Kaolie) returned to the throne and ascended the throne, he appointed the loyal Huang Xie as the judge of the state of Chu, made him the king of Chunshen, and gave him fiefs in twelve regions north of the Huai River.
02 Chun Shen Jun to King Chu Kaolie.
Huang Xie, Chun Shenjun, was a judge of Chu at the beginning, and later served as the minister of Chu. For decades, he carefully led the state of Chu, not only resisting the attacks of other vassal states militarily and enhancing the military strength of the state of Chu, but as a statesman, he created a good peaceful environment for the state of Chu, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
The biggest headache for him was actually the problem of King Chukaoli, who could not have a son, which sounded ridiculous, but it was a big problem, especially in the old feudal era where generational succession was the core.
Although Chun Shenjun brought many women to find a son for Gao Lie, the king of Chu, he never succeeded.
Li Yuan, a powerful minister of Chu State, wanted to take his sister to try his luck with King Chu Kaolie, but the chance was slim, so this person came up with another trick, that is, to give his sister to King Chu Kaolie's lover Chun Shenjun.
He took advantage of Chun Shenjun's fertility and then used stratagem to persuade Chun Shenjun to dedicate his pregnant sister to King Chu Kaolie.
I don't know if Chun Shenjun, who should have been loyal and honest, has gone through the baptism of the years, or has become more selfish as he grows older, and he has accepted such a trick.
After King Chu Kaolie had a son, he was worried that pampering his child would bring him a bad political status, so he impregnated Li Yuan's sister and then dedicated it to King Chu Kaolie as a concubine.
Li Yuan's sister gave birth to a son and became the queen as she wished.
However, Li Yuan had other plans, he was afraid that Huang Xie would reveal his identity, so he sent assassins to kill Huang Xie, besiege him at the city gate, destroy his body, and destroy Huang Xie's family.
Chun Shenjun's fate is like this, it's embarrassing!
03 Undue accidents.
During the Warring States Period, there was a type of person known as Menke, who specialized in providing consultations in high-class ** homes in exchange for food and lodging.
Before Huang Xie was killed, Zhu Ying, the gatekeeper of Huang Xie's family, reminded Huang Xie that his life was blessed by despair and cursed by despair.
The Blessing of Despair is the fame and power that Huang Xie gained by helping King Chu Kaolie, and the Scourge of Despair is Li Yuan, who collaborated with Huang Xie:"When the king of Chu died, Li Yuanlai ascended the throne and killed the king of Chu first to destroy his mouth"。
But Huang Xie didn't listen to Zhu Ying's advice and insisted that the timid and cowardly Li Yuan wouldn't go that far because he was"Unscrupulous people, good ministers"。
Zhu Ying was afraid of the fire and fled from Huang Xie's house, not knowing that he had come to the wrong place. Huang Xie's later tragic death also confirmed Zhu Ying's view.
Hence what we call it"Total disaster"。
Huang Xie was supposed to be a minister who was also in power during the Warring States Period, but he accidentally invited a villain, and the villain stabbed him in the back, resulting in his death.
Infinite"The term derives from the Wuji hexagram in the Zhou Yi. The lower line of the Wuji hexagram is Zhou Yi's lower hexagram, the lower shock is the upper dry, the power of the Qianqian hexagram is very large, and it will interfere with the earthquake hexagram, which means not to act rashly, otherwise you will encounter unexpected accidents.
The book "Zhou Yi" was written much earlier than the "Historical Records", and the "Historical Records" describes Huang Xie's deeds. The deceptive plague may have originated from the hexagram in the Zhou Yi, but it was apparently caused by allusions in the Historical Records.
with"Phantom Calamity"to describe Chun Shenjun"Bad calculations", very apt indeed.
