The load is thin and thin, and the beard is thick. Lu Dao has a swing, Qi Zi Fa Xi.
Four Li Ji Ji, Hanging Dragon. Lu Dao has a swing, Qi Zi Brother.
Wenshui soup soup, pedestrian Peng Peng. Lu Dao has a swing, And Qi Zi soars.
The water is gushing, and the pedestrians are crowded. Lu Dao has a swing, Qi Zi wanders. ---- "Shijing Qi Feng Zai Drive"
This poem is from the Qi Feng chapter in the Book of Poetry, which tells that Wen Jiang returned to the State of Qi from the State of Lu to meet with his half-brother Qi Xianggong, and the whole poem satirizes Wen Jiang's debauchery and shamelessness.
Wen Jiang took a luxury carriage, the car rumbled through the street, bamboo curtains covered the windows, the carport made of red lacquered leather stood out on the road, and four handsome and tall horses with such luxurious cars walked generously between the Qi and Lu countries.
Passing by Wenshui, Wenshui flows, the water is huge, and the pedestrians on the road are weaving, but the Four Horses Side-by-Side Hua carriage is still moving freely, and Wen Jiang sits in such a carriage with ease, without half a shame or shyness.
This is a scene described in the book of poetry on the road between Wen Jiang and Qi Xiang, and in the book of poetry, this is not the first poem to write Wen Jiang, nor is it the most ironic one, but it is the most realistic one. Moreover, Wen Jiang, the "strange woman", is not only recorded in the "Book of Poetry", but also in many canonical histories such as the "History".
But why is it that the world is familiar with praising herself, but Wen Jiang, who is even worse than this, has not been named as a beautiful and wrong country, but is sometimes respected in the history of the canon?
Who is Wen Jiang?
It is impossible to know when Wen Jiang was born, but died in 673 BC, the second daughter of Duke Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the half-sister of Duke Xiang of Qi. Wen Jiang married the State of Lu in the twenty-second year of the reign of his father Duke Qi, the third year of the reign of Duke Huan of Lu (709 BC), and became the wife of Duke Huan of Lu.
In the third year after his marriage, Wen Jiang gave birth to the eldest son of the State of Lu, and because it was on the same day as the birthday of Duke Huan of Lu, duke Huan of Lu huan was very happy, so he gave him the name of Tong and was given the title of prince. Later, he gave birth to Gongziyou for Duke Huan of Lu.
However, Wen Jiang's infidelity did not begin after marriage. Long before she got married, Wen Jiang had an affair with her half-brother Qi Xianggong.
Fifteen years after Wen Jiang's marriage, because he accompanied Duke Lu Huan to the State of Qi for a state visit, it was revived and ignited again, and even reached an uncontrollable situation.
Wen Jiang's adultery with Qi Xianggong was, after all, paper could not hold the fire, and was soon discovered by Lu Huangong, who as a husband, angrily rebuked Wen Jiang.
Wen Jiang was a thief with a weak heart, knowing that this unrequited love, was in love but did not stop at courtesy, and the matter of fornication was not only her Wen Jiang's business, so Wen Jiang informed another party at this time, Qi Xianggong.
Qi Xianggong was angry and afraid, and after thinking about it again, he decided to quickly cut through the chaos, so he set up a feast at the Hongmen Gate and invited Lu Huangong, saying that he wanted to make reparations for his sins.
At this time, Lu Huangong's heart was also very painful and depressed, and his wife, whom he had loved for 15 years, was actually unfaithful to himself from the beginning, which made Lu Huangong, as the king of the sub-title, unable to pass on his face and put it down from his heart.
Therefore, Lu Huangong, who went to the banquet, constantly borrowed wine to dispel his sorrows at the banquet, and finally the wine was not drunk and everyone was drunk, and Lu Huangong successfully drunk himself.
Seeing that Lu Huangong was so drunk that he was unconscious, Qi Xianggong made up his mind to cut off the troubles for himself, so he sent his subordinate Peng Sheng to carry Lu Huangong to the car, and then ordered Peng Sheng to let him take the opportunity to kill Lu Huangong.
In this way, Duke Huan of Lu, who had reigned for 18 years, died in the State of Qi, and the Lu people who heard the news expressed great anger at this. In order to appease the anger of the Lu people, and under the pressure of public opinion from other feudal monarchs, Qi Xianggong could only sacrifice Peng Sheng to calm the anger and disputes everywhere.
After the murder of Duke Huan of Lu, Wen Jiang's adultery with Duke Xiang of Qi was even more unscrupulous. Wen Jiang, who had become empress dowager of the State of Lu, was even bolder, and without the obstacle of Lu Huangong, no one could manage two people.
Wen Jiang even built a palace on the border of the two countries in order to facilitate the public and private meetings with Qi Xiang; Qi Xianggong was not willing to show weakness, and also built a large number of civil engineering on the border, and the two people often had blatant secret meetings, such as glue like paint, which did not avoid the tongue of the people.
After Wen Jiang's death, his title was actually set as "Wen"
It is reasonable to say that Wen Jiang's debauchery can be said to be unprecedented, and there are few in the future. But why is it that such a slut has not been crowned by the world as a "curse of water"?
Moreover, comparatively speaking, those who are called "red face and evil water" praise and self-praise, although they are very "doing", but in the final analysis, they are entangled with their righteous husbands Zhou Youwang and Shangyi Wang, not to mention cheating.
In contrast, Wen Jiang is even more debauched, before marrying his brother, he did not stop at etiquette, after marrying, even after 15 years of marriage, he cheated on his half-brother again, not only violated moral morality, but also killed his husband after being found by his husband for adultery.
Compared with Wen Jiang, Dai Ji and Bao Ji can be called saints and good family women.
However, the historian's evaluation of Dai Ji and Qiu Ji was eager to put all the responsibility for the wrong country and the fallen clan on them. However, wen jiang was highly respected, and even the nickname drawn up for her after her death was actually "wen", so why would the historian give her such a high evaluation?
If Wen Jiang was born as a boy, he would surely be famous in history, not as mixed as it is now
Back in the historical facts, after the murder of Duke Huan of Lu, the crown prince succeeded to the throne as the new king of the State of Lu, and later generations called him the Duke of Luzhuang.
But at that time, he was only 12 years old, too young to be possible, and did not have the ability to govern a country well, so he only had the name of a monarch, Wen Jiang as his mother, born into the nobility, was even more in control of the governance of the country, so Wen Jiang ruled on his behalf, and Wen Jiang himself was also very active.
Although Wen Jiang is debauched in his private life, in terms of governing the country, Wen Jiang is not at all inferior to boys. After the death of Wen Jiang's sister-in-law and her brother Duke Xiang of Qi, the successor monarch of the State of Qi was Duke Huan of Qi, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
According to records, in the 15th year of the Duke of Luzhuang, Wen Jiang sent an envoy to the State of Qi, which also laid an insurance for the safety of the Future State of Lu. Moreover, at this time, the righteous State of Qi began to dominate the Six Kingdoms, which was called the first year of hegemony by later generations. It can be seen how sensitive Andrea Wen Jiang is in politics, and how far-sighted he is.
After that, Wen Jiang sent another envoy for the sake of his son Duke Luzhuang's Jiangshan Sheji, and visited Juguo. During the reign of Wen Jiang, the economic and political aspects of the entire Lu state did not decay.
Although there was still the problem of weak national strength, in the next 30 years, it was still able to protect the country from invasion and annexation by other countries. And in the Subsequent Spring and Autumn Struggle for Hegemony, the existence of Wen Jiang also played a great role in alleviating the contradictions between Qi and Lu.
Wen Jiang lived for about 50 years, and in the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, when medicine and living conditions were not developed, the average life expectancy was about 40 years old, and Wen Jiang's life expectancy was quite appropriate. Heaven has the virtue of good life, Wen Jiang ruled when her son was young, and when she died of a serious illness, Lu Zhuang justice at this time was the time when he was rich and powerful.
The adult Lu Zhuang Duke had the ability and strength to govern his country well, so Wen Jiang walked very peacefully, and at the same time avoided the scene of mother and son fighting for power, and avoided unnecessary internal friction in the Lu country, so when Wen Jiang died, Lu Zhuang Held a grand funeral for his mother.
Although the people of Lu guo knew the debauchery of the private life of this country mother, her political ability also brought to the people, living and working in peace and contentment, and a relatively rich life, so for such a country mother, the Lu people were angry but still had great respect for her.
This is probably why the evaluation of Wen Jiang such a "strange woman" in later generations is so mixed. For hundreds of years, the historical officials of successive dynasties have also evaluated Wen Jiang relatively positively, after all, her merits have truly been imprinted on the monuments of history.
Although as a woman, Wen Jiang's private life is debauched, but in the political talent, Wen Jiang is brilliant, which is also a major reason why Wen Jiang is respected by future generations!
