Don't be confused by "The Legend of Miyue", the real "Miyue" is very brave, even surpassing Wu Zetian
Some time ago, a costume drama called "The Legend of the Crescent Moon" was widely acclaimed.
When the movie was a hit, I didn't have time to enjoy it, and now I occasionally stay at home, slow down the pace of life, and enjoy this hard-won tranquility, so that I can ** this great historical drama again.
Since the name of the play is "The Legend of Miyue", the protagonist is obviously Miyue, but who is Miyue?
There is no such name in history, but the reason why it can be called a historical drama is because the character prototype of "The Legend of Miyue" is the Empress Dowager Xuan of Great Qin.
In "The Legend of Miyue", Miyue is King Chuwei's favorite princess. When King Chu Wei set out on the expedition, Empress Chu Wei drove Mi Yue's mother out of the palace, and Mi Yue could not continue to enjoy a rich life without worrying about food and clothing.
According to legend, Mi Yue was blessed by misfortune and met Huang Xie, the prince of Chu, and the two vowed to stay together for the rest of their lives. However, their marriage was opposed by their elders, so Mi Yue considered eloping with Huang Xie and asked Huang Xie for a dowry as the eldest princess of Qin.
Unexpectedly, they were robbed by the soldiers of Yiqu Kingdom, and Huang Xie fell into the valley in order to save Miyue, who was disappointed and had to follow the princess to marry into the Qin Palace.
Mi Yue's beauty brought her to the attention of the King of Qin and became the most favored concubine of the King of Qin. Mi Yue later gave birth to several sons for the King of Qin and enjoyed a high status in the Qin State, but after the death of the King of Qin, the Qin State fell into a civil war.
The turning point in Mi Yue's life began when she later became the Empress Dowager of Qin.
Mi Yue in the play seems to be a weak woman who defends love, pushed forward by the current situation, but she falls into the political whirlpool step by step, in fact, I have to say that "The Legend of Mi Yue" is not misleading, it is true"Miyue"It's quite unbearable, and even Wu Zetian is a few points worse.
Political speculation and the monopoly of the Qin state.
Empress Dowager Xuan was originally from the state of Chu, perhaps out of political needs, she married into the state of Qin and became the wife of King Huiwen of Qin, who had a very low status, and was only called"Tyrant", so Empress Dowager Xuan is only known as Mi Bazi in history, and the name Miyue came later.
In the harem of the Qin State, the titles were divided into eight ranks, and the eight sons belonged to the middle and lower classes, so it can be speculated that the status of the Empress Dowager Xuan in the Chu State was not high.
But this is a woman who looks like a born politician.
When she married King Qin Huiwen, she had three sons. After the death of King Huiwen of Qin, there was a brief period of civil strife in the state of Qin.
Empress Huiwen, the most powerful at that time, sent Empress Dowager Xuan's son Yingji as a hostage, and Yingji's son Yingdang was named King Wu of Qin.
King Qin Wu is a good brother, everything is good, but he likes to compare strength, so when he picked up the ding, he directly smashed him into a serious injury, and it didn't take long for him to die.
King Wu of Qin had no sons, and the state of Qin was once again plunged into civil war. At that time, there was a very brave King Zhao Wuling, who thought it was time to interfere in Qin's internal affairs, so he forcibly entered the Qin State and helped Yingji (later King Zhaoxiang of Qin) become the King of Qin.
Yingji was young, and the power of the Qin State naturally fell into the hands of the Empress Dowager Xuan. Empress Dowager Xuan decisively got rid of those who threatened her, and the Qin State entered the ** era of Empress Dowager Xuan's rule.
It didn't cost anything to solve the problems of the Qin state.
At that time, the Qin state was not yet able to dominate the East, especially the Yiqu was still a big problem in the West.
This small country is quite powerful, under the leadership of the king of Yiqu, it once became the heart of the Qin state, if you want to advance eastward from the Qin state, of course, you must first solve the worries, how to save the Yiqu country has also become the top priority of the Qin state.
The mainstream view at the time was that it was normal to use force to solve problems, but Empress Dowager Xuan believed that fighting and killing was too bloody and violent.
When the ministers asked her opinion, she just smiled and didn't say anything, but the subsequent developments left everyone dumbfounded, and Empress Dowager Xuan directly destroyed the Yiqu Kingdom without spending a single soldier.
Empress Dowager Xuan came up with the idea of seducing King Yiqu, as for which beauty to choose to do this, Empress Dowager Xuan said that there was no need to choose another audition, and it should be up to her to do it herself.
So, on a sunny day, Empress Dowager Xuan sent an invitation to King Yiqu, who was young and promising, and was such a young widow, she had no reason to refuse.
So, King Yiqu went to meet the Empress Dowager Xuan, and the two quickly sparked. Empress Dowager Xuan gave a very realistic performance and gave birth to two sons for King Yiqu.
King Yiqu dreamed that one day, his two sons grew up, one to destroy Qin, and the other to destroy Yiqu. He didn't expect that Empress Dowager Xuan would wake up King Yiqu for decades, and then annex Yiqu.
One day, Empress Dowager Xuan invited King Yiqu into the harem. Empress Dowager Xuan immediately sent troops to occupy the Yiqu State, which had lost the leadership of the King of Yiqu, so that the danger on the western border of the Qin State was immediately eliminated.
The mother and son quarreled and died in the dark.
After the Yiqu was destroyed, Empress Dowager Xuan's position in the Qin State was quite stable, after all, no one would have thought that Empress Dowager Xuan would have such great talent.
In the internal and foreign affairs of the Qin State, the Empress Dowager Xuan had the final say. With the support of Empress Dowager Xuan, the Qin State was ruled by four nobles, so the people of Qin at that time only knew that there were Empress Dowager Xuan and four nobles, but they did not know that the real King of Qin was Yingji.
Yingji lived a comfortable life under her mother's rule and never thought of being in power, but with the arrival of Fan Ju, he encouraged King Qin Zhaoxiang to rebel.
Under the rule of the four nobles, Fan Ju had little room to play. Fortunately, his hand was still on Yingji's buttocks, so he made a trick for him, hoping to regain the power of these five people, so as not to be deprived of the power of the Qin State in the future.
Yingji's heart fluctuated, and she resolutely followed Fan Yuzhi's suggestion, got rid of the Empress Dowager Xuan, and expelled Sigui from Xianyang.
After Yingji came to power, he didn't embarrass his grandmother too much, after all, without the support of his grandmother, there would be no support from King Zhao Wuling, and it was still unknown whether he could become the king of Qin.
Empress Dowager Xuan was also very optimistic, accepted her son's approach, began to enjoy her old age, found a lot of lovers, and lived a very comfortable life.
In the forty-second year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Empress Dowager Xuan died, ending her eventful life, and she was dwarfed by the later Wu Zetian.
First of all, she was the first widowed queen in history, and she only said that she would eliminate King Qin Zhaoxiang.
Second, the state of Qin reigned for nearly forty years without a single defeat.
In the end, he single-handedly destroyed the core of the Qin state, Yiqu, and laid a solid foundation for the next step of the Qin state's fearless eastward expansion.
How could such a great achievement be accomplished by the girl in "The Legend of the Sheep Moon"? Therefore, we must not be confused by film and television dramas that cater to the taste of the public, let alone regard them as history.
