On the night of the big wedding, xuanjiang, the grand princess of the state of Qi, who was originally married, was dressed in a beautiful makeup and dress, and waited with expectation and shyness for the handsome groom to come to speak softly and spend a good night together, but he did not think that the real groom was actually the father of his beloved, the half-hundred-year-old Weiguo King Wei Xuangong.
In the days after the big wedding, Xuanjiang, who was already the queen of Wei, was always crying silently alone, and no one knew what kind of hurricane storm had arisen in Xuanjiang's heart.
The unforgiving reality makes a princess who is in her prime shatter all her visions of love and marriage, and Xuanjiang knows that as a woman, she can only accept the constraints of three from four virtues, and even if she is forced to guard a husband who is as old as her father, she can only survive day by day, and there is no other way.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, although the bright and noble princess Xuanjiang was the eldest daughter of the Prince of Qi, the King of Qi, she still did not have the right to marry independently, and Xuanjiang experienced ups and downs in her life, becoming a victim of the three rules of the three virtues of feudal society, not only forced to marry the three fathers and sons of the Wei state, but also regarded as a "slut" by future generations.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Princess Xuanjiang of the State of Qi became the "bride-to-be" of prince Weiguo for marriage.
At the beginning of the seventh century BC, there was a saying in the folk: If you marry a wife, you will be the ginger of Qi. That is to say, in the Spring and Autumn Period, when the marriage of princes was popular, the princes of the nations and the royal princes and grandchildren were proud to be able to marry the imperial daughter of the Qi state, the Jiang clan.
In the era of The Duke of Qi, it is known that the Duke of Qi had two daughters who could look like a city, although these two beautiful princesses were surnamed Jiang, but the eldest princess was called Xuanjiang because she was married to Wei Xuangong, and the little princess was called Composition Jiang because of her outstanding talent.
In the early summer of 718 BC, The King of Wei, Duke Xuan of Wei, sent emissaries to the State of Qi, hoping to marry the Grand Princess of the State of Qi on behalf of the Crown Prince.
Prince Wei was brilliant in learning and handsome, and at the same time he was about the same age as the Grand Princess of the State of Qi, and was the future monarch of the State of Wei, and dukes of Qi considered it and quickly agreed to this marriage and friendship.
Soon after, Duke Qi prepared a rich dowry and sent a team of luxurious carriages and horses to send the grand princess safely to the palace of Weiguo.
Wei Xuangong, a "would-be husband" who covets beauty, moved the heart of a thief and set up a bureau to take the "daughter-in-law" for himself
After Xuanjiang arrived at Weiguo, probably because the prince was busy with government affairs, the two did not immediately complete the marriage.
Within a few days, Gongzi Ling was sent to Zheng Guo on the orders of his father Wang Wei Xuangong, and what surprised both Gongzi Ling and Xuan Jiang was that Wei Xuangong, who had always been respected by them, had quietly set up a dark situation behind his back at that time - when Xuan Jiang, who was shouldering the task of marriage and friendship, entered Wei Xuangong's sight for the first time, the emperor who was more than half a hundred years old was instantly shaken by the beauty of the delicate beauty, in order to embrace the beauty, Wei Xuangong deliberately opened the prince's son, and soon held a grand and grand wedding, the bride was Xuan Jiang, yes, the bride was Xuan Jiang. But the groom was Wei Xuangong.
The bride Xuanjiang dressed up in red makeup and was sent directly to Wei Xuangong's bedchamber after the ceremony. On the wedding night, under the illumination of the big red candle, Xuanjiang, who was sitting on a happy bed, waited shyly and anxiously for the groom to come to his side.
But when she heard a series of footsteps approaching, and subconsciously looked up to see her husband's countenance, she couldn't help but be surprised--the man in front of her wearing a big red dress was not a crown-like prince, but Wei Xuangong, who was already white-haired.
The wedding has been completed, the identity has changed, and Xuanjiang, who is in a foreign land, has the ability to defy reality, although reluctantly, Xuanjiang can only choose to submit to Wei Xuangong, and in desperation, he has become a victim of three from four virtues.
By the time Gongzi returned to Weiguo on the orders of her father, Xuanjiang had been married for more than half a year, and at that time she had the flesh and bones of Wei Xuangong in her belly, and even became Gongzi Ling's stepmother.
Since the ancient mother plotted for the son, Xuanjiang only wanted his son to become the prince, but indirectly killed the prince
After gongzi lingered back to China, he was shocked to hear that the beautiful bride-to-be had become his stepmother, and such a thing would be embarrassing and humiliating to any man. In order to appease his son's emotions, the thick-faced Wei Xuangong not only built a gorgeous villa for the prince, but also married a beautiful wife to the prince as quickly as possible.
The prince was kind and filial, and when he saw that the matter had reached this point and the wood had become a boat, he secretly swallowed this mouthful of air and lived the life of a prince who had no quarrel with the world behind closed doors.
Xuanjiang gave birth to his eldest son Gongzi Shou after becoming pregnant in October, and a few years later, Xuanjiang, who was favored by Wei Xuangong, became pregnant again and gave birth to his second son, Gongzi Shuo.
As the two sons grew up, Xuanjiang, as a mother, naturally began to plan his life for his sons, Gongzi shou had a soft and gentle personality, and had never been in contention, while Gongzi Shuo was fierce and brave, and very much wanted to become the monarch of the country.
Seeing that his son was approaching adulthood, Xuanjiang found a suitable opportunity to say to Wei Xuangong: Our son Gongzi Shuo is a good boy who can be both literate and martial, loyal and filial piety, and righteousness, why not consider making Gongzi Shuo the crown prince and inheriting your throne in the future, he will definitely be able to better govern the Wei country.
Hearing these words, Wei Xuangong pondered for a moment, and then asked Xuanjiang: Of course, I can appoint Gongzi Shuo as the crown prince, but in this way, how should I dispose of the deposed Gongzi Ling?
In fact, Xuanjiang has always been full of good feelings and guilt for Gongzi Ling, she does not want to put Gongzi Ling in a dangerous situation, and at the same time expects to let her son Gongzi Shuo sit on the position of prince, so Xuan Jiang had to reply: As long as gongzi ling is removed from the position of prince, don't mistakenly hurt his life.
For a long time, Wei Xuangong had always had a sense of fear in his heart for his son Gongzi Ling: on the one hand, he was afraid that the young Gongzi Ling and his beloved wife Xuan Jiang would "have an old love" and break the connection; on the other hand, he was always on the lookout for Gongzi Ling, afraid that he would be dissatisfied with the "hatred of taking his wife" and would one day seek revenge on himself.
Although the filial and open-minded Gongzi Ling never had any hatred for his father, after Gongzi Shuo approached adulthood, the situation of Gongzi Shuo, who occupied the position of prince, changed again with Xuanjiang and his father, and the dimwitted and careful Wei Xuangong finally decided to get rid of Gongzi Ling, and then established Gongzi Shuo as the crown prince.
When Xuanjiang learned of Wei Xuangong's idea of getting rid of Gongzi Ling, he sent someone to send a message to Gongzi Ling, asking Gongzi Ling to make plans early and escape from difficulties.
But the boy was a stubborn and foolish man, and he just sighed a long sigh, thinking that since his father wanted to die by himself, why should he, the son, be afraid to flee. In the end, Gongzi Ling was killed by the killers sent by Wei Xuangong.
After Gongzi Ling's death, Gongzi Shuo smoothly ascended to the position of Prince of Weiguo. In 700 BC, Duke Xuan of Wei and Gongzi Shuo became the new monarch of the Wei state.
However, what Gongzi Shuo and his mother Xuanjiang did not expect was that many of the ministers were supporters of Gongzi Shuo, and they opposed Gongzi Shuo's rule, which triggered a lot of struggles between the government and the opposition.
In desperation, the weak Gongzi Shuo fled back to the State of Qi with his mother, Empress Xuanjiang, to await long-term consideration.
At that time, the monarch of the State of Qi was already Xuanjiang's brother Qi Xianggong, and in order to appease the Wei state, this politically minded and checking and balancing king took the initiative to marry his sister Xuanjiang to Gongzi Shuo, the younger brother of Gongzi Yi's compatriots.
In this way, Xuanjiang once again became a victim of politics, and after marrying Gongzi Shuo, Xuanjiang was still favored because of his beauty and beauty, and became pregnant one after another, giving birth to 3 sons and 2 daughters for Gongzi Shuo.
Xuanjiang's life was forced to marry the three fathers and sons of the Wei royal family, becoming a joint marriage between the State of Qi and the State of Wei, without the bedding of love, without the power of autonomy, like a delicate flower, at the mercy of others, placed in the palace full of politics and desire.
As a victim who obeyed the "three from four virtues", Xuanjiang was also scolded as a "slut" after his death, but he did not know that the historical Xuanjiang was not a slut, she was just an innocent political chip.
