The Qinhuai River in Nanjing City, Jiangnan area in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties was prosperous, and no one seemed to be willing to think about it. In the near future, it would be swept by bloody storms.
Enjoyment is the nature of human beings. Before war comes, who is willing to be troubled by life and death, it is better to live a life and be free.
Ten miles Qinhuai is the prosperous place of Nanjing, with water separated from both sides of the river. To the south is the general examination room for the examination Jiangnan Gongyuan , and to the north is the fireworks place where famous scholars gather in the church.
Compared with the decency and depression in the south, the north is very lively, almost singing and dancing every day, as if there is no sorrow...
The Qinhuai fireworks land was formed very early in history, and feudal dynasties continued to change, and this land would revive in the shortest time. The singer among them was once called a business girl, just as Du Mu wrote in "海样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样样�
Yes, how can these women understand the pain of hatred for the destruction of the country? Their powerless shoulders cannot withstand the pain of the destruction of the country. After all, it is a difficult thing to survive in the troubled times, so how can we talk about anything else?
By the end of the Ming Dynasty , the business women on the Qinhuai River were still worried about survival, but some women also left a name in history with their talents and appearances, and the famous ones were naturally Qinhuai Eight Beauty .
They are Gu Hengbo , Dong Xiaowan , Bian Yujing , Li Xiangjun , Kou Baimen , Ma Xianglan , Liu Rushi and Chen Yuanyuan . If they want to divide the eight of them into a higher level, Chen Yuanyuan is the most well-known one.
Chen Yuanyuan's color and art were both outstanding, and she was a must-see landscape by the Qinhuai River at that time. It was precisely because of this that made her a covetable object in troubled times. So how many people have she occupied by her? And is it true that we are most familiar with Wu Sangui and , and it is true that she is angry for the beauty?
Life experience is ups and downs
No one can control their background, and Chen Yuanyuan is no exception.
Chen Yuanyuan's original name is Xing Yuan . She was born in the picturesque Jiangnan. Her family is poor and has no time to take care of the beautiful scenery. Her parents' love has become the gentlest memory in her poor life.
But this gentleness did not last long. disease took away her father and mother one after another, and the lonely Chen Yuanyuan's survival became a problem.
Fortunately, Chen Yuanyuan had a kind aunt. She couldn't bear it, so she adopted Chen Yuanyuan. Because her uncle's surname was Chen, Chen Yuanyuan changed her original surname and followed her uncle's surname, but she could not change her blood relationship even if she changed her surname.
In the eyes of Chen Yuanyuan’s uncle, this girl is not a biological child. Because her aunt’s family is not rich, when Chen Yuanyuan grew up, her uncle sold her to the opera garden.
Chen Yuanyuan understood that except for her parents, no one really loved her. She had to live on her own, so in the peach garden, she tried her best to learn some singing and dancing skills, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
As she grew older, Chen Yuanyuan gradually became a beautiful girl. In addition, she was extremely talented and soon became a famous singer in Jiangdong. Whenever she sang on stage, the audience was always crowded, and even "the viewer was broken for his soul." Who can remain unmoved by a woman like
?
But Chen Yuanyuan only thought about living a peaceful life, thinking about finding a man who loves him for the rest of her life, so when she met Gong Ruofu, she thought she had met love.
Gong Ruofu is the son of Jiangyin Gong Xiuling. He had already had a first wife before meeting Chen Yuanyuan. When he redeemed Chen Yuanyuan as a concubine with a large sum of money, his first wife made things difficult for her everywhere. Finally, under Gong Xiuling's instructions, Chen Yuanyuan was kicked out of the house.
She was desperate and had to return to Liyuan again to sing on stage.
Swing wall outside the wall
The first relationship ended without success. Although Chen Yuanyuan felt very painful inside, she never gave up her fantasy of love. So when she met Maoxiang , one of the four young masters in the late Ming Dynasty, she still fantasized about living a peaceful life.
Mao Xiang was a writer in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. When he returned to his hometown to visit his relatives, he went through Suzhou and met Chen Yuanyuan through someone's introduction. The two of them had a wonderful time. When they were reluctant to part, they agreed to stay together for the rest of their lives next time they met.
But when Mao Xiang visited Suzhou again, Chen Yuanyuan was kidnapped by a local wealthy family. Fortunately, she was smart and brave, and left the tiger's mouth, so she went to find Mao Xiang regardless of the danger. After the two of them spent a while, Mao Xiang finally let Chen Yuanyuan down.
was disappointed by two men in a row. Chen Yuanyuan's inner pain can be imagined, but life did not give up on the torture of her. When she was discouraged, she met the relative Tian Hongyu of . He coveted Chen Yuanyuan's beauty and directly captured her into the capital. Chen Yuanyuan was therefore involved in the disputes in the chaotic times in the late Ming Dynasty.
Tian Hongyu is the father of Emperor Tian Fei. He naturally had a purpose in snatching Chen Yuanyuan away. Under his training, he claimed that Chen Yuanyuan was his adopted daughter. Later, he was introduced to the palace to serve Emperor Chongzhen by Concubine Tian.
Faced with the shakyness of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen wanted to turn the tide and had already put it aside for the female sex. Although Chen Yuanyuan's beauty made him look sideways, the affairs of the country eventually consumed Chongzhen's body and mind, which made him unable to spoil Chen Yuanyuan.
Since that's the case, Chen Yuanyuan returned to the Tian family and became Tian Hongyu's Jiale singer . But she didn't expect that in Tian Hongyu's eyes, she was just a chess piece, a chess piece used to make friends with the powerful.
rushing to the cap and being angry for the beauty
As Chongzhen was unintentional in the harem, Tian Hongyu, as a relative of the foreign country, gradually lost his support in the court. In order to ensure his position, he wanted to make friends with Wu Sangui, who was quite prestigious and had heavy troops at the time.
When he successfully invited Wu Sangui to visit the mansion, he deliberately arranged Chen Yuanyuan to perform to cheer him up. As a result, Wu Sangui was attracted by Chen Yuanyuan's beauty, and Tian Hongyu followed the flow and sent him out.
After Wu Sangui got Chen Yuanyuan, he arranged a residence for her in the capital, but the good times did not last long. King of Chuang Li Zicheng captured the capital, and Chen Yuanyuan was snatched away by Li Zicheng's general Liu Zongmin, and Liu Zongmin gave it to Li Zicheng again.
The next thing is the story of Chong Guan Yi being angry for the beauty that we are familiar with. Wu Sangui heard that his concubine was taken away, and rushed to the Qing Dynasty and directly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. He joined forces with the Qing soldiers to attack the capital . Therefore, people also believe that Wu Sangui has true love for Chen Yuanyuan.
But in fact, Wu Sangui's surrender to the Qing Dynasty had nothing to do with Chen Yuanyuan. It was not true that Wu Sangui was angry at the beauties. Wu Sangui led Qing soldiers into the pass only to execute the order of borrowing troops to eliminate enemies , but no one expected that it was easy to ask for a god but difficult to send a god. After the Qing soldiers entered the pass, they drove Li Zicheng away from the capital, but they did not leave, so that later, the Qing Dynasty unified the Central Plains.
The Qing army entered the pass , and Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and others fled in a hurry, but naturally they could not take Chen Yuanyuan away. After the war, Wu Sangui found Chen Yuanyuan again.
After that, Wu Sangui kept holding Chen Yuanyuan by his side. It was not until he pacified Yunnan and was named Queen Pingxi for the Qing Dynasty that Chen Yuanyuan lived a relatively stable life.
But Wu Sangui was not consistent with her. He took many young girls as concubines in Yunnan. Chen Yuanyuan, who stayed alone in the empty room all day, gradually got old, so naturally he could not compete with these people for favor.
, Chen Yuanyuan, who saw through the world, finally bid farewell to Wu Sangui, became a monk and became a Taoist priest , and worshiped Buddha for the rest of his life.
From Gong Ruofu to Mao Xiang, from Tian Hong to Chongzhen, from Wu Sangui to Liu Zongmin, from Li Zicheng to Wu Sangui, Chen Yuanyuan's life was occupied by too many people, and her tragic fate sounded the death knell for the Ming Dynasty, which is really sad.
