In the history of China, the well-known female rulers, or those in power, are Wu Zetian, Lü Yan or Cixi, but everyone should know that in addition to the three of them, there is also a woman who is also the actual controller of a country, if calculated according to time and age, this woman is probably the teacher and predecessor of these "female politicians", she is the Xuan Empress of the Qin State.
Empress Qin Xuan's experience and means
This woman was the side chamber of King Huiwen of Qin, that is, his concubine. In this capacity, it seems that she does not meet the conditions for becoming a number of female politicians of all generations, because in the case of the three people we mentioned above, they are either empresses or are favored by the emperor, and it is precisely because of this that these women can gain a mastery of politics in the later stages, so that the emperor can be swayed by himself. It is precisely because of this that we can see this woman's means; it is precisely because she is the concubine of the King of Qin that she can truly realize the importance of holding power, and she can feel what a terrible thing it is to not have the favor of the great king in the palace, from the initial attachment to others, to the later mastery of herself, she finally did it.
Her counterattack should have started from the death of her husband, in the court of the Qin State at that time, her husband's brothers had performed a series of bloody means and power tricks in order to inherit the unification of the country, and at this time, the son of this weak woman was being held hostage in another country, and because of this, she wanted to preserve the power and position belonging to their mother and son for her son.
In the end, with her own efforts, with the help of her brothers, she finally won the final victory in this bloody palace coup, and her son, who returned from other countries, also successfully inherited the throne.
He yiqu wang seems to be lustful, but it is a political strategy
After this woman made her son the king of the country, she also changed from a little concubine at that time to a queen consort respected by everyone. However, after the empress dowager put her son on the emperor's throne, she did not give up her power and handed it over to her son, but instead installed her own cronies in the court, making her the de facto ruler of the kingdom. After all, "power is the most powerful aphrodisiac", and after tasting the taste of power, she felt physical and mental emptiness after being alone for a long time.
After his son's enthronement ceremony, the king of the Yiqu Kingdom, who had long been subordinate to his country, came to Qindi with his gifts to congratulate the new suzerain. It was at this time that she saw him handsome and tall, and the two somehow met each other, and then they had an adulterous relationship. Their fornication was for a period of time, until the King of Qin was ready to take power and regain the Kingdom of Yiqu, and the Empress Dowager drew a clear line with the amorous king of the vassal state.
According to the thinking of this female politician, she committed adultery with this man, but also for the stability of the Qin state. Because at that time, the Qin state was facing a very dangerous situation, and the previous infighting led to domestic instability and weakness of national strength; and at this time, the small countries around the Qin state that were originally subordinate to it had different intentions at this time, especially the Yiqu state at that time, although it also claimed to the Qin state on the surface, but took advantage of the turmoil in the Qin state to step up the act of encroaching on its land, which was a headache for the Qin state at that time. Therefore, the empress dowager's adultery with the King of Yiqu at that time was actually a kind of delaying the army, in order to sacrifice her own hue to win the time for the Qin state to recover.
Later, when the time was ripe, the empress dowager used herself and his old love to lure King Yiqu into the palace and kill him in one fell swoop.
Their children
According to historical records, after their fornication, she did give birth to two children belonging to them, but we do not know where these children went, but there is no doubt that she may have no feelings for her two children, and even if there is, she will definitely cooperate with her son to kill these two remnants and the shame of the country. If the two children had not been killed, there is a good chance that they would have been put under house arrest by their son.
Therefore, in summary, Empress Qin Xuan did commit adultery with the king of the vassal state, and she also gave birth to two children with her lover. Because of the disgrace of these two children and the violation of ancient morality, the King of Qin, as the ruler, will definitely deal with them, so the fate of these two children is either executed or put under house arrest.
