Zheng Gui, the favorite concubine of King Huai of Chu during the Warring States period. Zheng Gui's posture is beautiful and his personality is intelligent, but he is jealous and cunning, sinister and vicious, and extremely scheming, Zhang Yi once said: "King Xingji of Chu, Zheng Gui, the sleeve does not obey everything. From this, it can be seen that Zheng Gui was deeply favored by King Huai of Chu.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a predecessor Zheng Dan who was presented to Wu Wang Fuchai by Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li and Xi Shi, completing a beautiful story of red face and water disaster. In the late Warring States period, the State of Zheng was swallowed up by the State of Chu, and Zheng Gui and other women of the State of Zheng lived a hard life, but her beauty and sentimentality were eventually discovered by the State of Chu Ling Yin Zhaoxuan, and she was dedicated to the King of Chu Huai, but what was achieved was a joke about destroying the country and destroying the family.
In history, there is also the person of Zheng Gui, who is a person who works in extremely scheming and is extremely flattering, and can even ignore the country for his own interests. Zheng Gui was indeed very intelligent, while king Huai of Chu was indecisive, but Zheng Gui used his wisdom in calculation. She was not afraid that King Chu Huai had a peculiar smell, and played tricks with her wisdom and resourcefulness to eliminate dissidents, firmly tied the heart of King Chu Huai, and successfully ascended to the throne.
One day, King Hui of Wei gave the King of Chu Huai a beautiful woman of the State of Wei, and the King of Chu Huai was very fond of her, and Zheng Gui fell out of favor because of this, which immediately caused Zheng Gui's jealousy, so she came up with a poisonous plan to frame Wei Nu. Zheng Gui told Wei Nu that the King of Chu Huai did not like her nose and covered her nose, so that the King would not see her ugly nose, and Wei Meiren did indeed do so, but was raketen by Zheng Gui, saying that Wei Meiren hated the smell of the King of Chu. The King of Chu was furious and cut off the nose of the Wei woman, and Zheng Gui was again favored by the King of Chu Huai. Later, King Huai of Chu wanted Zhang Yi to ask for a beautiful woman, but Zheng Gui was afraid, so he bribed Zhang Yi with a heavy amount of money. Zhang Yi said that "I have traveled all over the world and have never tasted such a beautiful person", and when she gave up, Zheng Gui also interfered in the politics of the dynasty and accepted bribes. It can be seen that this woman Zheng Gui is a poisonous flower that blooms in the Chu country, harming others and harming herself.
In the "Biography of Mi Yue", Zheng Gui helped Mi Yue because he was accidentally injured by scorpion grass when worshipping King Chu Xian, and was later saved by Mi Yue, so Zheng Gui helped Mi Yue return to the palace. Calling it Nanhou ZhengGui should mean queen, because ZhengGui is one of the four palaces of the Chu king. Historically, the King of Chu Huai had four queens of the East, West, South, and North Palaces, Qu Rong of the North Palace was the original match, West Palace Yingying was the Princess of the State of Qin, Tian Hui of the Eastern Palace was the Princess of the State of Qi, and the Southern Palace was Zheng Gui and Wei Meiren, so it was also called Zheng Gui as the Southern Queen.
Regarding the death of Zheng Gui, there is no clear record in history, but after King Huai of Chu was detained by the State of Qin and his son ascended the throne, Zheng Gui will certainly not have a good end. She interfered in the affairs of the dynasty, accepted bribes, released Zhang Yi, plotted to kill Wei Ji, colluded with Jin Shang to frame Qu Yuan, and let the Chu state eventually "slash in frustration, kill its six counties, and die in Qin, laughing for the world." ”
She was once a woman who laughed and fell into the city, but finally lost her life because of her stupidity and destroyed the country, and became the laughing stock of the people of the world.
