"The appearance of a shame flower in the closed moon, the appearance of a wild goose and a fish" Modern people like to use the term "closed moon and shameless flower" to describe women with beautiful faces. But in fact, the original meaning of this sentence is to describe the ancient beauty Xi Shi. I believe many people have heard of Xi Tzu's peerless beauty, but in fact Xi Tzu is a woman who was sacrificed politically because of her beauty.
Goujian, the king of Yue, failed miserably when he sent troops to crusade the country of Wu, so he wanted to save the country and use beauty tricks to confuse the king of Wu. Perhaps in the eyes of other people, Xi Shi is a beauty with the appearance of a country and city. However, in the eyes of the ruling class, Xi Tzu is nothing more than a political pawn with an empty bag. So what kind of story is there between Xi Shi and King Wu? What is the final outcome of Xi Shi?
According to legend, Xi Shi was born in the countryside, and she often washed laundry by the river. Even the fish in the river was fascinated when they saw her, forgetting the instinct to swim. If it were not for the failure of the King of Yue Goujian to defeat the State of Wu, perhaps Xi Shi would not become a victim of the emperor's political battle in his life. Maybe she will live in the beautiful countryside forever like an ordinary village woman.
It was a pity that the day did not fulfill the wishes. Soon the outstanding Xi Shi was caught by Fan Lixiang who came to look for the beauty. Fan Li was born in 536 BC and was a very famous founder of business theory in ancient China. In 511 BC, Fan Li came to Yue Kingdom. Fan Li also witnessed Goujian's failure after coming to Vietnam.
But to his surprise, Gou Jian didn't seem to be discouraged, and his more diligent training day and night dreamed of being ashamed of preschool one day. But in Fan Li's mind, there is actually another way to conquer people's hearts more simply than war and infiltration. So he was like the king of Yue Goujian, who said that he wanted to use the beauty trick to confuse King Wu. Beginning in 493 BC, Fan Li began his own journey of searching for "beauty".
Not only that, in 490 BC, Fan Li also suggested that the King of Yue Goujian should not act rashly. He believes that the king of Yue Goujian should put the focus of attention and the focus of work on the rest of the domestic people. Because only by taking good care of the lives of the domestic people and giving everyone the foundation and conditions to live and work in peace and contentment, can we promote economic development.
is able to defeat Wu as soon as possible through a combination of various measures like
. Gou Jian felt very reasonable after hearing Fan Li's words, so he did. At the same time, Xi Shi also entered the palace. Although there are rumors that Fan Li and Xi Shi have had a pure and beautiful love, but some people say that Fan Li is actually just a fake for Xi Shi.
Since the two protagonists of the incident have passed away, there is no way to find the truth. We will not discuss this issue here. But what is certain is that Xi Shi was indeed brought into the palace of Yue Kingdom by Fan Li. Everyone who has seen Xi Shi admits that she is a beauty with an alluring beauty.
However, both Yue Wang Goujian and Fan Li believe that only having beauty cannot attract Wu Wang. If you want to keep the emperor's heart for a long time, you must make some other efforts. Therefore, they must also cultivate and expand Xi Shi. Only when Wang Wu believes that he and Xi Shi have a spiritual resonance and empathy, can he completely retain his heart.
In this way, Xi Shi must also learn daily palace rules, dances, musical instruments, and etiquette. Although the things to learn are very complicated, it is not particularly difficult for Shih Tzu who is so smart. Soon she had reached the level recognized by Fan Li and Wu Wang. It is precisely because of these skills that Xi Shi has become more charming. After she was sent to the country of Wu, she quickly gained the attention and love of King Wu. King Wu even started a desolate life because of Xi Shi.
There are only beauties in his eyes, but what Wu Wang didn't know was that Gou Jian actually had other intentions to give him the beauties. But no matter what, Xi Shi was the only one in the eyes of King Wu at that time. The national economy and the people's livelihood seem irrelevant in the face of peerless beauty. The political, military and national defense aspects of the Wu state were full of loopholes along with King Wu's fatigue.
However, the situation in Vietnam is completely different. After Yue Wang Goujian had Xi Shi as a spy, he could grasp Wu Wang's movements and plans. So for him, obtaining information is a breeze. The only thing that the King of Yue Goujian has to do is to continue its strength as soon as possible to unite and develop the country.
Kung Fu noWith a heart, Yue Wang Goujian finally understood his desire for success after experiencing failure. In 473 BC, the king of Yue Goujian and his soldiers broke through the gates of the State of Wu. The victory of King Yue was not only because of his own efforts, but also a large part of the credit. If there was no Xi Shi to slow down King Wu and distract him, perhaps King Yue who was practicing secretly would have been discovered by King Wu long ago.
Wu Guo no longer exists, and Fu Cha also died tragically. But people still don't know how Xi Shi will end in the end. Some people say that Xi Shi was an undercover agent sent by the Yue King Goujian to the State of Wu, so after the incident, the King Goujian executed Xi Shi to control public opinion. However, some people think that the king of Yue Goujian is not such a villain who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, and Xi Shi may eventually be sent out of the palace. Some experts and scholars believed that Xi Shi gradually developed sincere feelings in his daily relationship with King Wu, so Xi Shi went with him after King Wu left.
Some people even said that Xi Shi and Fan Li were lovers before going to Wu, so she returned to Fan Li after the mission. However, these conjectures and conclusions are only the words of scholars and experts, and cannot be regarded as accurate implementation conclusions. No one knows where Xi Shi, the peerless beauty who once sunk the fish and the wild geese, finally went.
Xi Shi's life is lucky, because she has a skin that most people have never had and the love of the emperor. But Xi Shi's life is extremely unfortunate, she has always been just a political tool. But is there more than one poor man in history? There are many women, not only can they not have the right to choose their life and marriage independently, but they can't even grasp their own future and destiny.
In 717, Princess Yongle married the King of Khitan Songmo. In 713, Princess Taiping was given to her family to die on suspicion of conspiracy and other charges. In 821 AD, the Uighur sent envoys to ask for marriage. Tang Muzong also decided to marry Princess Ding'an. Therefore, whether it is the form of marriage in peacetime or spies in wartime, these women are actually only serving politics, serving the ruling class that can control life and death.
