The lustful love between him and his half-sister Wen Jiang was not only unknown to everyone in the Qi state, but also lost people abroad, making other princely states see the joke of the Qi state. Moreover, after Wen Jiang got married, she was already a married woman, and the two of them broke the silk connection, which was even worse. In the end, it eventually caused turmoil in the Qi state, and he was also hunted down and killed by the rebels.
After the killing of Duke Xianggong of Qi, Qi was in civil unrest, and a battle for the king began between his cousin Lü Wuzhi and his two half-brothers, Lü Zhuo and Lü Xiaobai. In the end, the most inconspicuous Lü Xiaobai won and inherited the throne of Duke Xiang of Qi as the Duke of Qi Huan. The Duke of Qi Huan used Guan Zhong and adopted a series of policies to secure the people and enrich the country, and the State of Qi gradually became stronger, eventually becoming the first of the five hegemons of Spring and Autumn.
Lü Xiaobai, the Duke of Qi Huan, has made great achievements in governing the country, but he is originally a son-in-law's personality, and he is not inferior to his brother Lu Zhu'er in terms of greedy and lecherous. Today, let's talk about Qi Huan Gong's lecherous things.
How is Qi Huan Gong?
How is Qi Huangong? Here are a few stories to learn a thing or two.
Incest with sisters
Incest, may be the family disease of the Jiang clan, first there was the Duke of Qi Xiang, Lu Zhu'er and Wen Jiang, and after Lv Xiaobai succeeded to the throne, he carried forward his brother's hobby very well. He had an affair with nine of his sisters, which was well known within the Qi Kingdom.
But why is it that the same brother and sister incest will cause Qi Xianggong to attract the opposition of the ministers, eventually leading to civil unrest, while Qi Huangong's incest will be ignored?
There are two possible reasons: First, Wen Jiang later married into the Kingdom of Lu and was already a married woman, and Lü Zhu'er still broke off the silk connection with him. And the objects of Lu Xiaobai's incest are all sisters who have not yet married. The same is incest, and the nature of Lu Zhu'er and Wen Jiang is even worse. The second is that Wen Jiang married into the Kingdom of Lu as a princess, and later maintained an incestuous relationship with Lu Xiaobai, which is to cuckold the king of the State of Lu. If Lu Xiaobai is just losing people at home, then Lu Zhu'er is a shame and has been thrown abroad, so Lu Zhu'er is even less worthy of forgiveness.
Take all the beauties on a trip
Once on a trip to other princely countries, he not only brought Guan Zhong to advise himself, but also did not forget to bring a cart of beautiful women to help. Note that here is a car, not one, not several. Because the car-making technology at that time was still very general, shock absorbers were not used like modern cars, and the road was not as flat as it is now. You can make up for that picture, Lu Xiaobai is sitting in the middle of the carriage, and the left and right are crowded with beautiful women that he carefully selected. The carriage is upside down, and the inside of the car must also be full of spring light.
As far as visiting other princely countries and bringing a group of beautiful women with his entourage can probably only be done by the lecherous Lu Xiaobai.
Provoking a war for women
Cai Ji is one of the beauties that Qi Huangong loves very much. One sunny weather, Qi Huangong took Cai Ji to boat on the lake, in order to amuse Qi Huan's open heart, Cai Ji was responsible for rowing, and when he was in high spirits, he shook the boat vigorously and splashed water on Qi Huangong. What she didn't know was that Qi Huangong was a person who was a little afraid of water, and with some age, in the face of Cai Ji's playfulness, Qi Huangong asked Cai Ji to stop. Cai Ji mistakenly thought that this was Qi Huangong lying to herself, so she shook even more vigorously. Cai Ji's move completely angered Qi Huangong.
After going back, Qi Huangong asked Cai Ji to go back to her mother's house to reflect well. But Cai Ji's brother did not follow the stubble, and actually married Cai Ji to a neighboring country. Qi Huan was angry, gathered allies to form a coalition army, and launched a war against Cai.
Some people say that Cai Ji was driven back to her mother's house by Qi Huangong himself, where can you see Qi Huangong's love for her, which is clearly treating Cai Ji as a plaything, loving to die when she wants it, and abandoning it at will when she hates it. But from another point of view, Lu Xiaobai, who was originally afraid of anyone, was able to overcome the fear of accompanying Cai Ji to sail on the lake, which in itself already shows the depth of love. And when Cai Ji shook the boat and joked with him, he was naturally extremely afraid, if he were an ordinary person, he would have moved his head long ago. He asked Cai Ji to go back to her mother's house, it was definitely not that he didn't want this woman, otherwise he would directly leave a book, wouldn't it be more simple and direct. And Cai Ji's brother Cai Hou married Cai Ji the second time, which itself is a brainless intention. Didn't he know that the Qi State was strong? Didn't he know that the Qi State had many allies? Cai Hou's arrogance would naturally invite a strong counterattack from Qi Huangong.
For Qi Huangong's war against Cai Guo because of Cai Ji, it can only be explained by "the depth of love".
Brothels were set up in the palace
Yes, you read it right, Qi Huangong is not only lustful himself, but also leads the courtiers to be lustful together. "Warring States Policy" recorded: "Seven cities in the palace of Qi Huan, seven hundred female Lu, the countrymen are not." Zhou Lianggong said in "Book Shadow": "Seven hundred female lu, Qi Huan Hui night and night capital, to support the army Xing, all widows." "Nulu refers to the brothel in the palace. Historically, everyone knows that Guan Zhong was the first person in Chinese history to open a brothel under an official name. Isn't Guan Zhong Qi Huan Gong's adviser? From this point of view, Guan Zhong's opening of a brothel is likely to be approved by Qi Huangong, or even instructed by Qi Huangong.
The secret of lecherous without affecting governance - reuse of Guan Zhong
On the way to fight for the throne between Lü Xiaobai and his brother Lü Zhuo, Guan Zhong, as a conspirator of Lü Zhuo, once set up an ambush on Lü Xiaobai's way back to the State of Qi from Ju State, and almost killed Lü Xiaobai with an arrow. After Lü Xiaobai inherited the throne, at the suggestion of Bao Shuya, he reused Guan Zhong, which was an important reason why Lü Xiaobai could eventually become the overlord of Spring and Autumn.
As soon as Lu Xiaobai reused Guan Zhong, he directly asked Guan Zhong: "A widow has three diseases, good wine, good field (hunting), and lustful, so harmless to domineering?" "It means that I have a few small hobbies, good drinking, like to hunt in the fields, and like beautiful women. Do you see how these little hobbies affect my dominance? Guan Zhong's answer was also very interesting: "I don't know the virtuous, I am a bully; Zhixian does not need to be a bully; Use it without letting it go, bully; Ren Yong and again with little ginseng, bully! He did not answer positively whether the few small hobbies proposed by Lu Xiaobai would affect the dominance of the princes, but pointed out that the inability to identify talents, knowing that they are talents and not reusing them, reusing and listening to villains playing small reports and doubting ghosts, these are the factors that affect hegemony.
Guan Zhong avoided the truth, but in fact he was ringing the alarm bell for Lu Xiaobai: "Since you decided to reuse me, don't listen to the villain, and fully trust me." You can rest assured to find pleasure, and the governance and strength of the Qi Kingdom will be left to me." ”
It stands to reason that Qi Huan Gong had been wandering in the Ju Kingdom before he succeeded to the throne, and he was completely a political white. After he killed his brother Lü Guo to take the throne, why he was able to lead the Qi State to become the head of the Five Hegemons of Spring and Autumn can be said to be most of the credit to Guan Zhong. Guan Zhong not only understands how to employ people, but also formulates laws and regulations to regulate the behavior of his subjects, in addition, he is also a good hand in the economic aspect. It can be said that Lu Xiaobai's success in dominating is to reuse Guan Zhong's credit.
