In 643 BC, Duke Xiang of Qi was assassinated at Linzi Palace, ending his absurd and real life.
A corner of the restored Linzi Ancient City
Qi Xianggong died and the lights went out, which was directly related to one of his concubines surnamed Lian.
It is said that Lian Aifei had a brother named Lian Cheng, who was ordered to garrison Muling Pass.
Mulingguan is located in Mazhan Town, Yishui County, Linyi City, Shandong Province.
The Spring and Autumn Period was an important pass for the national defense of the State of Qi, such as Fanlu, Ju, Chu and Yue, which was known as the world's first pass.
Ruins of the Great Wall of Qi and Mulingguan
This place is not only famous, but also rich in melons. Every July, against the backdrop of green mountains and rivers, melons and fruits from all over the world are particularly eye-catching.
But who would have thought that this little melon had sparked a shocking case.
According to historical records, "the emissaries of the Xiang Gong were even appointed and managed to guard Kuishan. Melons replace melons from time to time. ”
Melons were widely cultivated during the Spring and Autumn periods
Meaning: Duke Xiang of Qi sent two ministers, Lian Ming and Guan Zhifu, to garrison Quake (Quake is now the Mulingguan area). The two sides agreed to start when the melon is ripe and change the defense measures when the melon is ripe next year.
When the garrison was one year old, he died. Sometimes he would be blessed by the public. Or he asked for the blessings of the public. As a result, both were angry and planned a rebellion
But when the time came, Qi Xianggong did not keep his promise. The two generals were angry and decided to rebel.
If the rebels want to succeed, the best thing to do is to cooperate internally and externally. It just so happened: "It is said that there are slave sisters in the palace, and there is no human affection, so they can help the public." ”
This slave maid is Lian Aifei.
Lian Fei's love and hate deserve our respect
In fact, Lian Fei decided to resist, not only because she did not receive any help, but also because his brother promised him: "When things are done, treat you as the wife of the new king." ”。
But Duke Xiang of Qi was already king. He killed his husband and had just gotten married. How could the new king love her?
It shows how disappointed she is in her husband.
Lian Fei's hatred of Xianggong is closely related to a period of abuse.
In fact, before she was assassinated, a woman named Wen Jiang had been between her husband and wife for eight years.
This Wenjiang girl was Qi Xianggong's half-sister.
Located in Wenjiang Park, Zibo City, I think Lian Fei's personality is more noble
Yuan Ben Wenjiang got married. Her husband was the Duke of Lu Huan, another ancient vassal state near the State of Qi.
Eight years ago, Lu Huangong discovered the "good deeds" of Wen Jiang and Qi Xianggong and was brutally killed by Qi Xianggong. As can be seen, the latter has reached the point of madness.
Since then, Wen Jiang has never left the State of Qi. Brothers and sisters are inseparable.
Lian Fei lives in such an incredible circle. How desperate and helpless she must have been.
What is even more amazing is that these two goods pay their own money and set up a rendezvous between the two palaces on the border of Qilu.
The ruins of Wenjiang City were built by the Duke of Luzhuang to facilitate the secret meeting of his mother and uncle
I don't know what shame is. This is also another kind of love!
Perhaps, in Qi Xianggong's eyes, except for Wen Jiang, there was no place for other women. This is something that even the princess cannot tolerate.
I think you're the only one, but you treat me like air!
Therefore, Concubine Lian bears an unshirkable responsibility for the death of Qi Xianggong. And when their husbands and wives come this far, who's to say that the former isn't wrong?
Who failed whom? Leave it to future generations.
