Mi Yue was also the eighth son of Qi, and later Empress Xuan, she was associated with King Huiwen of Qin, King Huai of Chu, King Wuling of Zhao, King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and King yiqu.
Among them, King Huiwen of Qin was her husband, King Yiqu was her lover, King Wuling of Zhao was both her partner and political enemy, King Huai of Chu was her brother, and King Zhaoxiang of Qin was her son.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, noble women could not have love, and their marriages were all political marriages, and Qi Bazi was no exception. Originally a distant nobleman of the State of Chu, he was chosen by the State of Chu to marry King Huiwen of Qin.
King Huiwen of Qin named her eight sons (a kind of concubine rank, there are queens, wives, beauties, and good people on the top, and seven sons, long envoys, and young envoys below), and the eighth son gave birth to three sons for King Huiwen of Qin, but only one eight sons, which shows that the eight sons are not very favored. She had three sons: Gongzi Ji (公子稷), Gongzi Fu (公子芾), and Gongzi Wu (公子悝).
Among them, Gongzi Ji was sent to yanguo as a proton.
In 305 BC, King Wu of Qin died because King Wu of Qin had no sons, and his brothers became contenders for the throne. Although Mi Bazi was not favored, her half-brother Wei Ran (whose mother had remarried) was not to be underestimated.
A faction led by Huiwen Hou supported Gongzi Zhuang, and a faction led by Qi Bazi and Wei Ran supported Gongzi Fu (at this time, Qi Bazi did not think of his eldest son Gongzi Ji, who was far away in the Yan kingdom). The two sides engaged in a tug-of-war and could not hold each other.
At this time, King Wuling of Zhao intervened, and he also wanted to share a share of the heirs of the Qin State, so he chose Gongzi Ji. The intervention of King Wuling of Zhao increased the strength of the Eight Sons of Qi. Qi Bazi and Wei Ran were pressured to choose Gongzi Ji (公子稷), and Gongzi Ji (公子稷) succeeded him smoothly as King Zhaoxiang of Qin. He was twenty years old.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin was young, and the eighth son of Qi called himself empress dowager, who ruled the state of Qin, and Wei Ran was the auxiliary government. From then on, empress dowager Xuan's regency period lasted for thirty or forty years.
At the succession ceremony of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Yiqu came to Qin Guoqing to congratulate him and was fascinated by Empress Xuan. Empress Xuan immediately made a decision, seduced the King of Yiqu, made him fall under her pomegranate skirt, and refused to oppose the Qin state again, and the two gave birth to two sons.
Until 272 BC, Empress Xuan and King Zhaoxiang of Qin felt that the time was ripe, so Empress Xuan lured the King of Yiqu to the State of Qin and hunted him down, and King Zhaoxiang of Qin led his troops to destroy the State of Yiqu. Two sons of Empress Xuan's Tongyi Qu King were also killed.
After King Zhaoxiang of Qin succeeded to the throne, Empress Xuan vigorously developed her own power, and her half-brother Wei Ran was the prime minister, fenghou, his brother Qiu Rong was enfeoffed, and his two sons Gongzi Fu and Gongzi Wu were also enfeoffed, and the four became the "four nobles" of the Qin state, with huge power and unlimited wealth.
Until later, Fan Ju came to Qin, proposed a diplomatic strategy of long-distance and close attack, and gained the trust of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and with Fan Ju's reminder and help, in 266 BC, King Zhaoxiang of Qin deposed Empress Xuan, expelled Sigui, and strengthened the king's power.
The following year, in 265 BC, Empress Xuan died.
Many people think that Empress Xuan's private life is chaotic, in fact, she only had a few male favorites in the later period of her reign, in the first half of her life, as a concubine of King Huiwen, she did not have adultery with others, after King Zhaoxiang of Qin succeeded to the throne, she for the qin state to be able to destroy the State of Yiqu at the least cost, and only then did she fornicate with the King of Yiqu and gave birth to two sons.
Of course, in the later period of her reign, she began to have her own male favorite, the most famous of which was a man named Wei Ugly Fu, and Empress Xuan asked him to accompany him to the funeral, but he was still unwilling.
