[rose] The four great demons refer to the four famous favorite concubines in ancient China - Xia Mei Xi, Shang Da (da) Ji, Zhou Bao Si (si), Jin Li Ji . They are as beautiful as immortals, their country is beautiful and charming, and they are charming and charming. They are beautiful and beautiful, with fish falling and geese falling, and the moon shy of flowers. It can be said that it is a disaster for the Emperor and is deeply favored by the king. Even the king of that country had no intention of government affairs for them, and even did some things that harmed the country for them.
年年文
[Rose]年文, "年" is pronounced as "mò", also known as "年", the daughter of the family of Shi, who was originally named "年文". Xia Dynasty The last king Xia Jie The favorite concubine. It is said that Yooxi is the first example of the beauty in later generations. Since then, there have been successive appearances in the Shang Dynasty, Daji, Baosi, and Liji.
[Rose] During the Jie period of Xia Jie, the Youshi family (now Tengzhou City, Shandong Province) was a small country in the East. The country was weak and weak, and did not dare to be enemies with the Xia Dynasty, and expressed their willingness to pay tribute. Jie of Xia took advantage of the situation and did not allow the surrender of the Shi family. He must have bloodshed the Shi family. He discovered that Jie of Xia was a lustful tyrant and agreed to his preferences. He chose the beautiful girl, Guixi, and offered to surrender. When Xia Jie saw that Jingxi was beautiful, he was very happy. He then stopped his troops and brought Jingxi back to the capital of the capital (now Erlitou, Yanshi, Henan Province). When Jingxi saw that the palace of the capital was old, he was very unhappy. In order to please Jingxi, Xia Jie built a palace and built a jade platform, and used jade to build a luxurious outdoor jade platform for Qiong's outdoor jade platform, using this as a palace, drinking and having sex all day long, and ignoring political affairs.
[Rose] Xia Jie conquered Youbihou and obtained the beautiful Yu and Da. Xia Jie fell in love with Yu and Da, and gradually neglected Jingxi. Jingxi felt resentful and secretly sent Xia Junwei for Shangtang . When Xia was destroyed, Shang Tang did not thank Jingxi, but exiled Jingxi and Xia Jie to the East China Sea to die.
[Rose] Due to King Jie's extravagance and tyranny, the people could not bear the suffering. Shang Tang took the opportunity to raise an army to attack. Jie Xia was defeated in the battle at Mingtiao (now Fengqiu East, Henan Province), and crossed the river with Guixi, and fled to the mountain of Nanchao (now southeast of Chao, Anhui Province).
supplement: Xia Jie's favorite concubine. Originally, he was from the Youshi clan. When Jie of Xia conquered the Youshi clan, the leader of the Youshi clan presented her to Jie of Xia. Xia Jie loved her very much. According to "Biographies of Women: Biography of Jie Jie of Xia", "Jie Jie drank with Jie and the palace maids day and night, and there was no time to rest. He put his happiness on his knees and listened to his words." According to the "Imperial Century", Jingxi liked to hear the "sound of cracking", so Xia Jie tore the silk apart to win her laughter.
Daji
[Rose] This woman Daji is well-known with the spread of "The Investiture of the Gods". The "Fengshen List" says that she is as beautiful as a peach and plum, charming as a charming and charming as a thousand-year-old fox spirit transformed into a human, and was ordered by Nuwa to bewitch King Zhou and ruin the country. After the Zhou people destroyed Shang, they wanted to kill this demon princess. Because Daji used magic, they fainted with their hands. King Wu of Zhou raised his knife to chop it, but could not cut it. Jiang Ziya was beheaded by himself, and finally showed his true form and was stepped into meat sauce by the people. In addition, according to official history, King Zhou conquered the Yousu tribe (now Wen County, Henan Province) and captured the beautiful Daji as his concubine. King Zhou loved her very much, and made a wine pool and meat forest for her, drank and had fun with her every day, and even set up a punishment of burning and baking, which made people rush to chase each other naked, so Daji was very happy. On the King Wu , he killed Daji's head and hung it on the small white flag to show it to the public.
[rose] The various records and legends above have long been well-known and deeply rooted in people's hearts. Until the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, archaeologists excavated many relics from the Shang Dynasty in Xiaotun Village, Anyang County, Henan Province. Among them, jade and bronze ware, especially a large number of words engraved on tortoise shells and animal bones and " Inscriptions ", which made us understand the historical situation before the Zhou Dynasty, which was much more information than Confucius and Sima Qian could access at that time, and then we had an appraisal of the true face of Daji and King Zhou.
[Rose] First of all, "King Zhou" is not the official emperor's title, but a bad posthumous posthumous title that later generations have forced on him, meaning "remember and harming good". No matter how inexplicable a person is, he will not plaster his face so unbearable! His correct name should be Xin, the 32nd king of Shang Dynasty , also known as " Emperor Xin ".Secondly, it is a fact that Emperor Xin was keen on entertainment and entertainment in his late years, and there are also definite records of abuse and killing bigan . However, it is a bit unbelievable to cut off the feet of a person walking barefoot on the ice and cut open the belly of a pregnant woman, especially the crime of "only women's words are listened to" is simply unrealistic, because merchants are very superstitious, and any major move requires God to ask divine divination to determine good or bad luck. There are definite records in the unearthed oracle bone inscriptions. The power that Daji can influence is really minimal. Besides, Emperor Xin was strong and stubborn, and did not like to listen to others' mercy. Daji could only be regarded as his companion in his later years. He could not be said to obey his words and interfere with the political strategies of the Shang Dynasty. If Daji had political power in those years and years when Emperor Xin was favored by Emperor Xin, why would the Su clan members never gain power? Daji's notoriety was the result of Zhou people's propaganda.
[Rose] Emperor Xin succeeded to the throne at more than thirty years. At that time, the Shang Dynasty had been founded for six hundred years and had a strong national strength. The people are abundant, the people are rich, the emperor is strong, Kong Wu is powerful, he is a fierce beast, he is brave, he is eloquent, and he is also proficient in music, has beautiful nature, and is even more stubborn. Therefore, with his abundant national strength and his excess energy, he developed to the southeast, conquered the fertile tribe of the Renfang tribe (today's Huaihe River Basin), thus expanding the land and spreading the country's prestige.
[Rose] In the 30th year of Emperor Xin's reign, that is, in 1047 BC, he launched an attack on the Yousu tribe. At this time, he was already a person outside of sixty. When he conquered the Su tribe, one of the spoils he carried back was Daji. At that time, Emperor Xin was already old, and Daji was a young girl with a gentle and elegant body, and her eyebrows were beautiful. Her body was filled with almost explosive hot air. She quickly reignited the flame of his life deep in Emperor Xin's heart.
[Rose] At that time, the Shang Dynasty had already entered the agricultural and animal husbandry society from a nomadic society, and was very superstitious about ghosts, gods, witches and divinations. In order to pay homage to the gods, they often dance, drink and sing, and even drink for a long night. They almost died of drunkenness. This is true in the palace and the people.
[Rose] When Daji entered the realm of Emperor Xin's life, it was the time when the Shang Dynasty's national strength was as strong as the moon. At that time, the new capital was being built with a bright and pleasant climate. The wise men and craftsmen from all over the world also gathered in Chaoge, forming unprecedented excitement and prosperity. The palace and the palace are built in succession in sequence; dogs, horses and strange things fill the palace treasures; wine is used as a pond and meat is hung as a forest; silk and bamboo orchestras are all over the sky, and strange beasts and birds are everywhere in the plantation. From then on, Emperor Xin, the King of Zhou of Shang, finally, under the guidance of Daji, the little woman, expressed his feelings in the voice and color.
[Rose] When Emperor Xin favored Daji, the Zhou tribe in the Weishui River Basin in Shaanxi gradually grew and grew. The Zhou tribe was originally a descendant of Houji , the Emperor Ku , born to the Yuan Concubine of . As early as the time of the father of Gu Gong, there was an attempt to go east to the Shang Dynasty. There was a passage in "Lu Song" in " Book of Songs"; "The grandson of Houji, Shiwei, lived in the sun of Qi, and Shishizhong Town."
[Rose] In fact, it was not that simple to deal with the powerful Shang Dynasty. It was passed down to Ji Chang , and he practiced benevolent government and his national strength grew. The nearby tribes were very supportive, and they began to go east along the Yellow River and extend their tentacles to Shangdu Chaoge.
[Rose] Ji Chang is also known as the King Wen of Zhou as later generations. His eldest son Bo Yikao was actually feeling Daji's beauty when he went to Chaoge to worship, so he angered Emperor Xin, chopped him into a sauce, gave him food to Ji Chang, and imprisoned Ji Chang in Wuli for two years. Because the ministers of the Zhou tribe rescued him from many sources and bribed Emperor Xin, they were released, and thus they planted deep hatred.
[Rose] In the days that followed, Emperor Xin's ministers seemed to have deliberately managed the vast areas in the southeast, and ignored the Zhou clans that dominated the two norths. Ji Chang first annexed the Mixu and Ruan tribes on the Jing and Wei plains; he also crossed the Yellow River and conquered the Li and Jian tribes. The Yu and Rui tribes south of the Yellow River have also surrendered, and the Zhou people's forces gradually threatened the central area of Shang.
[Rose] The capital of the Zhou people moved from Qidi to Fengyi (now E County, Shaanxi) in Weinan . While slandering the army and carrying out a propaganda offensive against Emperor Xin, focusing on slandering Daji and the embarrassing Emperor Xin. It is said that Daji is a arrogant, extravagant, lewd monster, and a vicious femme fatale; it is said that Emperor Xin is very happy with merit, does not care about the lives of the people, and is cruel and lustful, which comes down to the puppet of "only women's words are used".
[Rose] In 1056 BC, King Wen of Zhou Ji Chang died, and his second son Ji Fa succeeded to the throne. His fourth son Ji Dan (Duke of Zhou) was virtuous and talented, and he was very skilled in the mastery of political strategies and the application of strategies. He fought for the vassal states, alienated the monarchs and ministers of the Shang Dynasty, won the hearts of the people and boosted morale. He proclaimed his second brother Ji Fa as King Wu of Zhou, defamed Emperor Xin as King Zhou of Shang, and announced the ten major crimes of Emperor Xin. Therefore, he united the princes of the world and marched into the new capital of the Shang Dynasty with a dignified formation and a righteous flag.
[Rose] Emperor Xin's brother Weizi led an army composed of Southeast Lingren, and rejected King Wu of Zhou's coalition from Muye (now Ji County, Henan) forty miles away from Chaoge. The Zhou people saw the neat lineup and excellent equipment of Shang army. They were timid at first. Unexpectedly, the army composed of these barbarians suddenly mutiny overnight. The Zhou people rushed in without any effort and the troops arrived at Chaoge City. Emperor Xin saw that the situation was hopeless, so he burned himself to death.
[Rose] According to Sima Qian, King Zhou died of burning himself, and Daji was killed by King Wu of Zhou. In addition, the words "New Words of the World" quoted Kong Rong , after Zhou Master entered Chaoge, Daji obtained it for Zhou Gong and later became Zhou Gong's servant. This can be said to have no more derogatory words from Zhou Master entered Chaoge, and some indirect confirmation was obtained. " Book of the Later Han " Volume 70 "Biography of Zheng (Tai) Kong (Rong) Xun (Yu) No. 60": Cao Cao attacked and slaughtered Yecheng . The Yuan family's wife was often invaded, and Cao Zi Pi privately accepted Yuan Xi's wife Zhen. Rong then wrote to Cao Cao, saying that "King Wu defeated Zhou and Daji gave him Duke Zhou." I couldn't understand it, and then I asked about what classics it was. He replied, "To treat it now, take it for granted."
[Rose] King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou vowed to destroy the Shang Dynasty, which was based on the attitude of political development and private hatred. The ugliness of Daji is only a political means. The demise of the Shang Dynasty was because of its vigorous management of the Southeast, and its focus had shifted to the downstream of the Yangtze River, which made the Central Plains empty, and the Zhou people were able to take the opportunity to push the fall of the Shang Dynasty to a woman. From a common sense point of view, it is difficult to agree with it. At most, after entering the palace, Su Daji , she caused disputes with other concubines due to the competition for favor. The out-of-favorite concubines each had clan backgrounds, which deepened the conflict between King Zhou and the small states of the princes. If you insist on saying that Su Daji was a disaster for the destruction of the country, it would be too overestimated! The reason why Daji left such a bad reputation was that the Zhou people hated King Zhou and promoted it. The reason is: According to the existing oracle bone inscriptions, there is no chapter recording Daji's evil deeds, only King Zhou's evil deeds. Therefore, Daji was just King Zhou's companion in his later years and had no evil deeds.
Baosi
[Rose] Baosi The queen of Zhou Youwang . Baosi was originally an abandoned baby and was adopted by a couple who did small business. He grew up in Baoguo (now northwest of Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province). In 779 BC (the third year of Zhou Youwang), Zhou Youwang conquered Baoguo, and Bao people gave up his beautiful woman Baosi begging for surrender. Youwang Loved like a pearl in his hand, and made him a concubine, favoring Zhou Wangwang Palace. The following year, Baosi gave birth to a son Bofu, and King You loved her even more, and even deposed Queen Shen and Prince Yijiu, and appointed Baosi as king. Later, Bofu became the crown prince. Zhou Taishi Boyang sighed, "The Zhou royal family is facing a disaster, which is inevitable."
[Rose] As expected, Bao Si rarely smiled normally, and occasionally smiled, which was even more gorgeous and charming. King You of Zhou issued a heavy reward. Who could induce Bao Si to smile and give him a thousand gold? Shifu of Guo State offered a strange plan to " beacon fire to play the princes ". King You of Zhou and Empress Bao traveled to Lishan together, ignited beacon fire, beat drums to call the police. The princes heard that the police were coming to rescue him. At that time, he found that he was safe and retreated.Bao Si saw a group of soldiers and horses coming and going like lantern , and she smiled without realizing her lips, and King You was overjoyed. However, in the end, he was untrustworthy to the princes. In 771 BC, the Western Yi Quanrong troops arrived, and King You ignited the beacon again, and the princes no longer sent troops to rescue him. King You fled to Mount Li and was killed, Bao Si was captured, (some say he was killed). Sima Qian said: "Bao Si is not funny, King You wants to laugh, but he doesn't know everything," ("Records of the Grand Historian: Zhou's Principal") means that Bao Si does not like to laugh, and King You of Zhou can no longer laugh for her because of her own smile. Western Zhou died.
Li Ji
[Rose]Li Ji (Spring and Autumn Annals), born unknown, died in 650 BC, is from Shanxi, Spring and Autumn Annals Li Rong (now Lintong County, Shaanxi Province) The daughter of the king, who is beautiful and has a scheming. In 672 BC, he was captured by Jin Xiangong and entered Jin State , and became the concubine of Jin Xiangong. She used a plan to alienate the relationship between Duke Xian and Prince Shensheng, father and son, and designed to kill Prince Shensheng, creating "Li Ji Qingjin".
[Rose] "Zuo Zhuan·The Fourth Year of Duke Xi": "At the beginning, Duke Xian of Jin wanted to use Li Ji as his wife, but it was not auspicious to divine it, and it was auspicious to divine it." "The Record of Huansha·On Xia" of the Ming Liang Chenyu: "Don Xia of Jin had three sons, the eldest was Shen Sheng, the second was Chong'er, and the second was Yiwu. Duke Xian listened to Li Ji's slander, Shen Sheng committed suicide, Chong'er fled to Zhai Kingdom , Yiwu guarded Qucheng ."
[Rose] In 663 BC (the fifteenth year of Duke Xian of Jin), Jin defeated Li Rong, and Li Rong sought peace. He married the two daughters of the king, Li Ji, and gave birth to a son named Xiqi, and the second daughter Shao Ji, and gave birth to a son named Zhuo Zi.
[Rose] Li Ji won the favor of Duke Xian of Jin for his beauty, and was cunning and deceitful, flattering and pitying, gradually gained the trust of Duke Xian of Jin and participated in the government. Duke Xian of Jin appointed Li Ji as his wife and named him Shao Ji as the second concubine. Li Ji also wanted to further depose Prince Shen Sheng and make Xi Qi the crown prince. Jin Xian Gong had a close actor named Xiao Shi, who had an affair with Li Ji. Li Ji asked Xiao Shi, "I want to make Xi Qi the crown prince, but I am worried that the princes of Shen Sheng, Chong'er, and Yiwu will oppose it?" Xiao Shi said, "Arrang them early so that they can know that their status has reached its peak, so that they will feel disrespectful to the king; in this way, it will not be difficult to deal with," and suggested starting with Prince Shen Sheng first. Li Ji bribed Liang Wu and Liang Wu, and asked them to say to Jin Xiangong: " Quwo (now northeast of Wenxi County, Shanxi Province) This place is the ancestral temple of Jin State. It is best to send Prince Shen Sheng to guard it. Pucheng (now Luliang County, Shanxi Province) and North and South Qu (now southeast of Shilou County, Shanxi Province) are border defense fortresses. It is best to send Prince Chong'er and Yiwu to defend separately." Xiangong was trapped and left only Xiqi and Zhuozi by his side to wait for an opportunity to abolish and establish it. It is known in history that "Two Five Harmful to Jin".
[Rose] The actor Xiao Shicai Li Ji cried in front of Duke Xian in the middle of the night, "I heard that Shen Sheng is very good at buying people's hearts. I'm afraid he will commit murder on you and seize the throne." Duke Xian said, "Where will anyone love his people but not his own father?" Li Ji knew that Duke Xian still trusted the prince, so he plotted again. One day, the prince Shensheng sent a piece of sacrificial meat from Quwo to Duke Xian of Jin. Li Ji secretly put poison on the sacrificial meat and then punished the prince, forcing the prince to die. He also falsely accused Chong'er and Yiwu of Shensheng's conspiracy and forced the two princes to Di and Liang. Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Ji forced Xian to make Xiqi the crown prince.
[Rose] In 652 BC (the 26th year of Duke Xian of Jin), Duke Xian died and Xi Qi succeeded him. He was killed by Jin doctors Lik and others. He appointed Duke Yiwu as Duke Hui of Jin. In 650 BC, Li Ji's crime of falsely assassinating the prince was exposed and he was killed.
[Rose] also has the allusion of "Li Ji Crying at Night", which refers to making things out of nothing and spreading right and wrong.
[Rose] There is another saying, saying that Li Ji persuaded Duke Xian of Jin to recall the crown prince. After the prince met Duke Xian of Jin, he went to pay homage to Li Ji. Li Ji invited the prince to dinner and had a very happy conversation. The next day, the prince entered the palace to thank him, and Li Ji invited him to dinner again. That night, Li Ji cried to Duke Xian of Jin, saying that the prince teased him, and said such words as "My father is old now." He also said that she could go to the Royal Zoo with the prince and let Mr. Xian observe on stage.The next day, Li Ji asked the prince to go on an outing with her. Li Ji first applied honey to her hair, so that all the bees gathered next to her hair. Li Ji said, "Crown Prince, can you help me drive them away?" The prince drove away bees and butterflies from behind her with his sleeves. When Duke Xian of Jin saw it, he thought the teasing was real. I was very angry and immediately wanted to kill the prince. Li Ji knelt down and begged, "I asked the prince to come back, but he was killed. I killed him. Moreover, outsiders don't know about these things in the palace, so just bear it." Duke Xian of Jin drove the prince back to Quwo, but ordered his subordinates to secretly collect the crimes committed by the prince and wait for an opportunity to depose him.
In the end, Shen Sheng was notorious and could not wash away the snow and hanged himself to death.
