There are several very famous beauties in Chinese history, Xi Shi is one of them, in the major folklore, there are descriptions of Xi Shi's beauty, but also has a "Dong Shi Gong" and other stories. So what did the real Xi Shi look like in history? Xi Shi was born in the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, she was extremely good-looking from birth, she was not originally called Xi Shi, but because she lived in Xicun, the neighbors in the village called her "Xi Shi", over time, everyone called her Xi Shi. But Xi Shi is destined to be a victim of the historical struggle, and her life is also more tragic. Maybe heaven doesn't pity the red face.
When Xi Shi was very young, Fu Cha, that is, the king of the State of Wu at that time, sent an army to destroy the State of Yue, not only that, Fu Cha also captured the King of the State of Yue, Gou Jian, and let Gou Jian be the lowest slave in the State of Wu. Under the constant encouragement and encouragement of his wife and the Minister of Vietnam, yue wang gouge did his best to lie down and taste courage, put away his sharp edge, and waited for the right opportunity to turn over.
Under the three years of swallowing the anger of the Yue King, Wu Wang Fucha finally agreed to let Gou Jian return to his hometown of Yue Guo, and as soon as Gou Jian returned to Yue Guo, he began to select a large number of beautiful women to send to Wu Wang Fu Cha, one was to win Fu Cha's joy and trust, to show his loyalty, and the other was to let Fu Cha indulge in beauty and gradually give up the surveillance of Yue Guo. When Gou Jian selected a large number of beautiful women, Fan Li only took a look at the young and beautiful Xi Shi, who was a must at the time in terms of appearance and figure, and was a rare beautiful woman in the world. In this way, Fan Li recommended Xi Shi to the Yue King Gou Jian and sent him to the State of Wu.
There are rumors that there was also a love affair between Fan Li and Xi Shi, but Fan Li endured the pain of cutting love because of the great cause of the country and personally gave Xi Shi to Wu Wang Fuchai, and Xi Shi once loved Fan Li deeply before going to wu. However, these are not detailed records of historical materials, only rumors, and we do not know the truth.
After being sent to the Kingdom of Wu, Xi Shi quickly gained the love of Fu Cha with her excellent appearance and singing and dancing skills, and Fu Cha also fell in love with Xi Shi involuntarily. Every time when the Yue Kingdom began to make small moves, Xi Shi defused the disaster of the Yue Kingdom again and again, and also made Fu Cha gradually relax his vigilance against the Yue Kingdom. In this way, year after year, Fu Cha became more and more addicted to Xi Shi and had forgotten the threat of the Yue Kingdom. In ten years, only ten years, through xi shi's internal and external cooperation, the Yue soldiers directly destroyed the state of Wu under the city, and Fu Cha had no power to fight back and directly killed himself.
It is rumored that within ten years, Xi Shi gradually fell in love with Fu Cha. After all, people's hearts are all flesh, and Fu Cha also treats Xi Shi with his own sincerity, and Xi Shi cannot be indifferent for ten years. If this is the case, Nafucha and Xishi can be regarded as inseparable!
After the death of Wu Wangfuchai, King Gou of Yue sent people to take Xi Shi back to the Kingdom of Yue. In the matter that Yue Guo was able to defeat Wu Guo, Xi Shi was obviously indispensable, she used her ten years of youth and freedom to dedicate her country, which can be counted as an undercover, and during this period, Xi Shi also risked her life many times to intercede for Yue Guo again and again.
In this way, even if Gou Jian does not reward Xi Shi, she still has to promise Xi Shi a happy and stable life, but in fact, Xi Shi's ending is very tragic, and she ended her life at a young age. Some people say that Xi Shi finally committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, and some people say that Xi Shi and Fan Li finally retired to the world, went to the bamboo forest to live their own lives, traveled all over the world, and became a pair of gods and immortals. These are all speculations of people, and there is no accurate historical record of Xi Shi's ending. After Xi Shi returned to Yueguo, what happened next seemed to disappear out of thin air, leaving no trace.
If Xi Shi really fell at a young age, it is most likely that the wife of Gou Jian, the queen of the Yue Kingdom, threw her into the river to death. Because there are historical records that on the first night after Xi Shi returned to China, Gou Jian ordered him to sleep. As we all know, Xi Shi is a stunning beauty. Even Fu Cha was confused by it, and it is conceivable that Xi Shi has a great attraction to men. Moreover, Xi Shi was only fifteen years old when he went to WuGuo, and ten years later, Xi Shi was about twenty-five years old, which was when a woman was most attractive.
Moreover, Gou Jian's wife accompanied Gou Jian through all kinds of difficulties, did not abandon him, and accompanied him to lie down and taste courage for three years, which made Gou Jian's wife how to accept it, so she let her cronies secretly sink Xi Shi to the bottom of the river, ending Xi Shi's life. After Fan Li learned of Xi Shi's death, he resigned his official post and traveled the world alone.
All in all, Xi Shi's life is extremely tragic, it may be that the heavens have never pitied the red face, since ancient times, the red face has always been short-lived, Xi Shi's appearance is also the real reason for putting her to death, if Xi Shi can choose for herself, she may not want to have such a country-pouring appearance, just want to stay with the person she loves for a lifetime. It's a pity that everyone in history has never had the opportunity to choose for themselves. Born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period at that time, it was perhaps Xi Shi's greatest misfortune.
