Chapter 351: Protecting the promise of a lifetime, Xuan Jiangs tragic fate
Cao Shuang looked at the city of Luoyang at night and said softly: "Jianjia, Lingjun, Dahu, don't worry, my husband will protect you for life. This is my husband's promise."
Bai Lingjun smiled sweetly and said: "I believe in my husband's promise and I believe that he will fulfill it. I will never have the miserable fate of Wang Zhaojun, Qi Jiang and Xuan Jiang in this life."
In fact, such things are rare in the Central Plains. The Han culture is dominated by Confucian ethics and attaches great importance to human ethics. For example, the case of marrying the daughter of the father is a gross violation of ethics.
But it is a custom among the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other ethnic minorities. For example, Wang Zhaojun, one of the four beauties, was forced to marry the Xiongnu king and his son successively.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Xian of Jin was Ji Guizhu. In his later years, Duke Xian's father, Duke Wu, married Qi Jiang, the daughter of Duke Huan of Qi. Qi Jiang had an affair with the prince Ji Guizhu. After Duke Xian of Jin succeeded to the throne, he married his concubine Qi Jiang as his wife.
The daughters Bo Ji and Zi Shen were born. Of course, this Qi Jiang was not the Qi Jiang of Jin Wengong, but they had the same name and surname. It can be seen that in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a thing about having the same name.
There are sprinklers in Xintai, and the river is flowing. Yan Wan's request, the bamboo poles will not die.
The fish nets are set up, and Hong will leave them. Yan Wan asked for this, and got this relief. - "The Book of Songs·Beifeng·Xintai"
This poem tells a sad story! A beautiful girl wanted to marry a good man. When she got married, she saw a tall and magnificent newly built house. She thought her dream would come true. However, the groom turned out to be a bad old man, as ugly as a toad...
…
The toad is Wei Xuangong, a model of the absurd monarch in ancient times.
From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, the world's rituals and music collapsed, and disputes continued. Countries fought overtly and covertly, and you robbed each other.
Only Weiguo never participated in the disputes between other countries until it was annexed by Wei during the Warring States Period. Why was Weiguo always able to stay alone?
Just because there are so many weird kings in the future, I can't bear the trouble myself, and I really don't have the energy to talk to the outside world.
And the typical representative of this weird thing is also Wei Xuangong!
It was purely an accident that Duke Xuang of Wei succeeded to the throne! After his father, Duke Wei Zhuang, worked hard, his son Wan (whose name is very confusing) succeeded to the throne, and he was Duke Huan of Wei.
Duke Huan of Wei also had a half-brother, the son Zhouxu, who was more powerful and ambitious. So a familiar scene in history happened, in which he usurped the party and seized power, and Zhouxu killed Duke Huan and became independent.
According to research, Zhouxu was the first prince to succeed in regicide and usurping the throne during the Spring and Autumn Period. He accidentally set a record!
Next, another familiar scene occurred in history. After Zhouxu usurped the throne, he did not hold high the banner of stability and unity. As a result, the minister Shi Que and the king of Chen Guo Duke Chen Huan (also the uncle of Wei Huan Gong) were harmonized.
There was a vacancy for the king, so everyone brought back the young master Jin who had taken refuge in Xing State to take over the throne, and he was named Wei Xuan Gong!
In other words, all the qualified and powerful people died, and Duke Xuan succeeded to the throne. As a result, the people of Wei were dumbfounded!
After Duke Xuan succeeded to the throne, the first thing he did was to establish a queen and a crown prince. There is no problem with this matter, but the problem is with the person who established it!
The queen's name is Yi Jiang, and her previous identity was the concubine of her father Wei Zhuanggong; the prince's name is Gong Zi Ji (also called Ji Zi), no one knew it before, but he is already 16 years old. Everyone has reacted to it!
The co-author, Mr. Jin, is a veteran underground worker. He hooked up with his little mother a long time ago and secretly gave birth to an illegitimate child. He did an excellent job of keeping it secret and no one knew about it.
The young master was anxious for his son, and he had a handsome face, graceful demeanor, and was versatile in both civil and military affairs. His swordsmanship was especially exquisite, and he was famous far and wide. At that time, he was called the best young master in the world! This also strongly supports the theory that illegitimate children are excellent.
Jizi's father, Wei Xuangong, although his character is not something I can compliment, he values emotions and can withstand the pressure of public opinion and give Yi Jiang mother and son the status they deserve. It can be seen that he and Yi Jiang are true love!
Hmm~ True love, it’s easy to pass the shelf life...
The best young master in the world, of course, must find the most outstanding woman in the world to be worthy of him.
At that time, Xuan Jiang, the eldest daughter of Duke Xi of the State of Qi, was the queen of the country. She and the young master were eager, talented, and beautiful. They were a perfect match, and they soon reached an engagement!
As the wedding day approaches, as the head of the family, Wei Xuangong organizes work.
On the one hand, he sent Jizi as a diplomat to the State of Zheng for a state visit to enhance the traditional friendship between the two countries;
On the other hand, he sent envoys to Qi State to welcome his bride, Xuan Jiang, to his newly built palace, Xintai.
Then, Wei Xuangong got into the bridal chamber by himself.
You read that right, Duke Xuang of Wei promoted his daughter-in-law to a higher rank and she became his own daughter-in-law!
This is the sad story at the beginning.
Duke Xuangong of Wei not only flirted with his stepmother, but also occupied his daughter-in-law, taking advantage of all three generations, and was extremely licentious!
Historical commentary: "It declares indulgence in sexual immorality, causing provocation and sexual intercourse, Shuo." ("Historical Records Suoyin")
Although Xuan Jiang is the princess of the Qi State and her family is very powerful, the rice is ready for the rice. Both she and the Qi State have no choice but to accept this reality.
Later, Xuan Jiang gave birth to two sons for Duke Xuan, Gongzi Shou (one is Shouzi) and Gongzi Shuo.
Wei Xuangong's mentality changed.
Because he doted on Xuan Jiang, Yi Jiang was very disappointed. Faced with a huge gap and poor psychological quality, Yi Jiang hanged himself.
In this way, Xuan Gong's dirty behavior suddenly took away Jizi's two most important women, his mother and his bride.
Xuangong began to think deeply (note, not reflect), how will Jizi retaliate against me?
Especially Xuan Jiang was still beating the drum. She hoped that her youngest son, Gongzi Shuo, would succeed to the throne, so her impatience had become an obstacle.
However, Jizi's reputation is too good, and he is impeccable both in character and knowledge.
Even though his father Xuan Gong did such a thing, Jizi remained loyal and filial. There is really no reason to abolish Jizi.
Then the only way is to get rid of the anxious ones.
Duke Xuan and his wife discussed it, and decided to send the robbers to Qi State in a hurry, holding white banners, and arrange for the bandits to wait at the border. If they saw anyone holding white banners, they would kill them.
With such a father on the stall, the anxious boy could only sigh.
Here is a question: Xuan Jiang has two sons. She hopes that her youngest son, Gongzi Shuo, will succeed her. Why not Gongzi Shou?
Because Gongzi Shou would not do this.
Gongzi Shou and Jizi are both excellent in character and academics, kind and friendly, and have a very good relationship with Jizi, and do not want Jizi to be hurt.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gongzi Shou overheard the conspiracy of Xuangong and his wife, and immediately told Jizi that he wanted to stop Jizi from going on an envoy, and advised Jizi to escape as soon as possible.
.
It stands to reason that Gongzi Shou is the biggest beneficiary of abolishing Jizi. He can become the crown prince and inherit the throne, but he chooses to protect Jizi;
And Xuangong, this stupid and cruel father, had such two good sons!
Things in the world are so inexplicable...
Jizi didn't listen to Gongzi Shou's words, not because he didn't believe in Gongzi Shou, but because his excellent qualities constrained him (he was over the top). He chose not to disobey his father and went to Qi as an envoy as scheduled.
The young master was anxious about his life, so he used wine to make him drunk while seeing him off, and then stole the white jade to send him as an envoy in his place. This meant that he was going to die on his behalf to preserve his loyalty and filial piety.
Sure enough, he was killed by the robbers. After the anxious son sobered up, he chased the young master but did not live long enough, so he died together.
The two sons were riding in a boat, taking in the scenery. I would like to express my thoughts about my sons and nourish them with my heart!
The two sons took a boat and passed away. I would like to say that I think about my son, without any flaws or harm!
——"The Book of Songs·Beifeng·Two Sons in a Boat"
Duke Xuangong of Wei was dumbfounded. Not only did he kill his two best sons, he also wanted to reward his sons' murderers.
The two sons fought each other to death to save each other, but what they did was really like a piece of shit, and they deserved the title of "bad guy"!
Finally, let’s talk about Xuan Jiang, a very pitiful woman! She was originally going to marry the No. 1 young master in the world, but was tricked by her father-in-law and forced to “enjoy” year-end love.
And because he participated in the persecution of Jizi, he had a bad reputation in history!
Originally, his son became the king of Wei (after Jizi and Gongzi Shou died, Gongzi Shuo succeeded him as Duke Hui of Wei). However, his son was driven away by the powerful faction in the country who supported Jizi, and he was replaced by Jizi's half-brother.
Qian Mou is the king.
My husband died, my son ran away, and I was all alone!
Originally, her mother's family was left to rely on, but she didn't expect that her beloved father, Duke Xi of Qi, would do his best. His successor, Duke Xiang of Qi, as another bad person in history, came up with an idea and asked Qian Mou's younger brother, Gongzi Shu, to marry Xuan.
ginger.
In other words, Xuan Jiang first entered into a marriage contract with Jizi, then married Jizi's father, and then was forced to marry Jizi's younger brother.
Hey! What an evil old society! Let me add that Xuan Jiang and his son Shu had three sons and two daughters. Except for the eldest son who died in infancy, the second and third sons later became the kings of the Wei Kingdom, and one of the two daughters became a
The wife of Duke Huan of Song Dynasty became the wife of Duke Xu Mugong.
In addition, when Prince Shuo became Duke Hui of Wei, he gave birth to a total of three princes and two princes' wives. What an incredible belly!
