"Rest in the body of the King of Chu, look back at the spring breeze and flowers." Feeling old does not say a long time to hide tears, only should turn over hatred and Ronghua. "This poem tells the tragic life of a woman, and its story has been passed down for thousands of years. Who is this woman?
In fact, this woman has attracted many literati and inkers to praise, such as Wang Wei's "Lady Xie", "Don't be favored in the present, unforgettable old days." Look at the flowers full of tears, do not share the words of the king. "Lady Xi was the wife of the monarch of the Spring and Autumn Period, and was sung by future generations because of her noble morality and unswerving character.
Lady Xi was originally the daughter of Chen Zhuanggong of Chen Guo, and her posture was moving, and the men who had seen her were all fascinated by her. In the tenth year of the Duke of Luzhuang (684 BC), the daughters of the Chen clan married the monarch of the country in order to marry. On the way to marriage, her appearance triggered an unpleasant thing.
Her sister had married the monarch of the State of Cai a few years earlier, Marquis Cai Aihou, and since the State of Sui was separated from the State of Chen by the State of Cai, she decided to take the opportunity to meet her sister. As a result, because he was wearing a wedding dress, he was too beautiful, and he actually made Cai Aihou move his mind. When the monarch of the State of Qi heard this, he was of course furious, so he joined forces with the State of Chu to attack and capture Marquis Cai.
The fact that the monarch of the Kingdom of Shi loved Lady Xi so much before he could see her, showed her mind. After seeing it, it is even more unforgettable, the husband and wife respect each other like guests, and the love is very much. Mrs. Xi's face is blushing like a peach blossom, which looks more beautiful than the blooming peach blossoms from a distance, and she loves peach blossoms and often wears a peach blossom hairpin, so she is also called Lady Peach Blossom by the people of the country.
However, within a few years of their love, disaster came. Because Cai Aihou coveted The beauty of Lady Xi and could not get her, coupled with the hatred of the subjugation of the country, he wanted to take the opportunity to provoke a grudge between the two countries. At a banquet in the Chu kingdom, he deliberately mentioned Lady Xi to King Wen of Chu, saying that she had the most beautiful face in the world. King Wen of Chu was also a man, and of course he was impressed, so he went to the country to find out through the friendship of his life who had helped Shi Hou.
Inside the palace, King Wen could no longer forget when he saw Lady Xi, and thinking about it, he took advantage of the intercourse with Lady Xihou to drug her cup and fainted, not only controlling the entire Country of Qi, but also taking Lady Xi back to the Chu State as a lady, Lady Xi wanted to commit suicide, but forced the people of The Marquis and the people of the Country of Chu to be under the control of King Wen of Chu, so he had to bend down and marry.
Although she had two sons and a daughter after King Wen of Chu, Lady Xi was silent in the Chu Palace and never spoke for three years. She was in no man's land, and she had been thinking about Shi Hou. King Wen of Chu tried his best to make her laugh.
In the end, he had no choice but to ask the reason, and Mrs. Xi said, "As a woman and a second husband, you can't keep the festival and die, so what does your face say?" It was Cai Hou who killed me. ”
Lady Xi's words became the holy will for the destruction of the Cai Kingdom. For her sake, King Wen of Chu sent an army to attack the state of Cai in 680 BC and personally beheaded Marquis Cai. However, how could King Wen of Chu's heart enter Madame's heart? Lady Xi could no longer tolerate anyone other than Shi Hou, and although she was in the Chu Kingdom, her heart would always be with Xi Hou.
As for the end of Mrs. Xi, it is still impossible to examine. There is a legend that says that one day, she took advantage of the opportunity of King Wen's hunting trip and sneaked out of the palace alone to meet with Xi Hou. A couple who suffered a hard life reunited after the disaster, only to hug each other and cry, and know that the broken mirror will never be rounded, and finally the two sides committed suicide. The blood flowed on the ground and blossomed like a peach blossom, and the Chu people planted peach blossoms all over their blood splashes and built a peach blossom lady temple to commemorate them, so Lady Xi was also known as "Lady Peach Blossom".
The State of Xi, which had previously been under the rule of King Wen of Chu, was named Xi County by King Wen of Chu, and one of the "Xi Counties" has not changed its name because of Lady Xi and the monarch of the State of Chu, and it is still used today.
