In 473 BC, Xi Shi completed the task of destroying Wu and was finally taken back to the Yue Kingdom. Fan Li asked: What should Xi Shi do? The queen saw the greedy appearance of King Goujian of Yue, and said coldly: How can the red face and troubled water stay, or sink to the bottom of the river.
In the distant Spring and Autumn Period, an earth-shattering war took place between the Yue and Wu kingdoms.
The Yue Kingdom was unfortunately defeated, and the Yue King Goujian became a prisoner, and this humiliating history became a scar in his heart that will never be erased.
However, in order to regain his strength, he had to endure the humiliation and burden, and took the queen to the state of Wu as a hostage, trying his best to curry favor with the prince of Wu, and even did not hesitate to taste his feces to show his loyalty and obedience.
Fucha eventually let his guard down on Gou Jian, believing that he was just a weak and incompetent person, so he sent him back to Yueguo.
Gou Jian, who returned to his homeland, did not slacken because of this, but worked harder and self-motivated, determined to recover the country and wash away the shame. In order to completely defeat the state of Wu, Gou Jian understood that the first task was to get rid of Fucha, a wise and martial monarch.
But the husband is brave and strong, and the assassination is not easy. At the suggestion of the strategist Fan Li, Gou Jian decided to use the beauty trick to use the stunning beauty to seduce her husband and kill her ambition.
However, it is not easy to find a beautiful woman who is enough to fall in love with King Wu, and the husband is surrounded by countless beauties.
Fan Li was ordered to search all over the country, and finally found a peerless beauty named Xi Shi by a quiet stream.
She was born in a peasant family, although she has not been cultivated in luxury, but she has the pure beauty of natural carving. Fan Li immediately visited Xi Shi and explained to her the purpose of the trip.
Xi Shi, who loved the country deeply, accepted Fan Li's request without hesitation. Fan Li happily took her back to the palace, but on the way back, a deep relationship quietly sprouted in the hearts of the two.
Xi Shi was attracted by Fan Li's gentleness and wisdom, and Fan Li was also moved by Xi Shi's beauty and selflessness. Helplessly, fate makes people, and their love is destined to be an unattainable dream.
Soon, Xi Shi was sent to the Wu Palace. Her beauty made her husband fall in love with her, and she immediately gained endless favor. She dominated the Wu Palace, and was favored by three thousand, which overshadowed the other concubines.
Despite being in the midst of prosperity and wealth, Xi Shi always remembered her mission, and she did her best to attract the attention of her husband, so that he abandoned the government and indulged in the sound of dogs and horses.
At her instigation, the husband spent a lot of money to build a luxurious palace for her, which gradually led to the decline of the Wu Kingdom.
At the same time, the country of Vietnam is becoming stronger and stronger under the painstaking management of Gou Jian. With the help of the intelligence secretly transmitted by Xi Shi, Gou Jian was ready to lead 100,000 male soldiers to attack the state of Wu.
This time, Gou Jian turned things around and became the final victor. The husband was defeated like a mountain, and he didn't want to be humiliated, so he chose to kill himself. And Xi Shi returned to Yue as a hero.
However, what awaits Shih Tzu is not a triumphant cheer and honor, but endless invective and the threat of death. Gou Jian has long coveted Xi Shi's beauty, and wants to include him in the harem after the victory.
The queen had insight into its meaning and strongly stated the principle that "Xi Shi is a disaster for the country and must not stay". Gou Jian had no choice but to reluctantly order Xi Shi to be executed.
When Xi Shi heard the bad news, his heart was like ashes. She never imagined that everything she had done for her country would end up like this. She was filled with grief and anger and staggered away.
Just when she thought that her life was about to come to an end, Fan Li suddenly appeared and saved her.
It turned out that Fan Li had a deep affection for Xi Shi and couldn't bear to see her suffer such a grievance, so he secretly dredged her and rescued her. After that, Fan Li married Xi Shi as his wife, and the two spent the rest of their lives together.
The story of Xi Shi has been passed down through the ages, her beauty and wisdom are admirable, and the injustices and misunderstandings she endured are thought-provoking.
In that era when men were inferior to women, women's status was low, and they were often seen as a curse. However, Shih Tzu proved through his actions that the power of women can also influence history.
Her life was full of twists and turns, but her indomitable spirit and selfless dedication to the country still inspire future generations.
