In most people's concepts, the marriage match of ancient men and women should be dragons with dragons, phoenixes with phoenixes, to put it bluntly, it is to be the right door, then the daughters of the king, that is, the princesses, naturally also want to be rationed to the princes and nobles or the dragons and phoenixes among the people, but in ancient times there was such an old man, he was a retired general, he had already told the old man to return to his hometown for the elderly, and the king did not hesitate to personally visit him, and this old general was older than the king, and the king promised his daughter to him, but the reason was a bit of a slap in the face.
It was 224 BC, In Pinyang County, a retired old general was bored recalling his past glory days, once he was invincible on the battlefield, but now the days are idle, it is really difficult, but the contempt of the monarch for him makes him have to choose to return to his hometown, but even he himself did not expect that the monarch would personally age this Pinyang County to find him, and that the monarch was later known as the First Emperor Yingzheng (the King of Qin at that time), and this old general was Wang Qi.
The King of Qin came to Wang Qi, just to apologize to him, in the face of this former powerful general, the King of Qin was very ashamed, because before, the King of Qin decided to cut down Chu, Wang Qi proposed to take 600,000 troops to win over the Chu army, and the young and crazy Li Xin said that only 200,000 troops were needed, the King of Qin saw that Wang Qi was old, he taunted him a little contemptuously, Wang Qi chose to return to his hometown, let Li Xin go to Chu, and as a result, Li Xin was defeated, at this time he put down his body to find Wang Qi, which was really enough to punch his face.
People who know the history of Wang Qifa Chu should know that Wang Qi did not make no demands, and it is mentioned in the "History" that Wang Qi repeatedly asked the King of Qin to give him a farmhouse, ostensibly Wang Qi was greedy, but in fact he was trying not to make the King of Qin suspicious, after all, he held 600,000 troops, if he wanted to rebel, he was afraid that the King of Qin would not be able to resist, so he molded himself into an image of insatiable greed.
But in addition, I am afraid that most people do not know that the King of Qin also married his eldest princess to Wang Qi. As for this period of history, it comes from the "Integration of Ancient and Modern Books" edited by Chen Menglei, a Fujian marquis during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, this series of books is the largest and most abundant book in existence, although the Qing Dynasty is thousands of years away from the Qin Dynasty, but in general, the history described by Chen Menglei should not be unfounded.
It is mentioned in the book that Qin Shi Huang's eldest princess was named Yin Yuanman, and it was when Qin Shi Huang went to Pinyang to ask Wang Qi to offer to marry her to Wang Qi, just to stabilize Wang Qi, who had a heavy army. To know that Wang Qi is even older than Qin Shi Huang, poor This Ying Yuanman wants to marry such an old man who is bigger than his father, which really confirms the phrase "the most ruthless imperial family", even Qin Shi Huang's favorite daughter has also become a victim of his popularity.
Although the "Historical Record" is relatively close to the main history, the paragraph described in the "Ancient and Modern Book Integration" does have its rationality, unlike the Qing Dynasty chen Menglei's compilation, the "Ancient and Modern Book Integration" is more like a supplement to that period of history, which makes the historical fact that Wang Qi held the army to cut down Chu and did not oppose it more reasonable. Just think, if Wang Qi asked the King of Qin to ask for the Tian Mansion in order to defame himself as a "greedy person", then couldn't he not only deceive the Qin King's Tian Zhai but also support the army and respect himself? The two are not in conflict! Naturally, the King of Qin would not be stupid enough to think that Wang Qi would not rebel against himself, and this logic would not make sense, so what good way could he appease Wang Qi? Quite simply, it is to give him the princess, and the trick of "marriage" can even be done between countries, let alone the monarch? Therefore, this period of history is still relatively credible, but it is cheaper than Wang Qi and has wronged this princess.
