The Skill of Chang Yu, the Love of Zhao Ji: The Secret History of the Court Written by Sima Qian
In the magnificent historical picture of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Ji, the biological mother of Qin Shi Huang, became the focus of praise for later generations with her extraordinary emotional experience. In particular, the forbidden relationship between her and Chang Yu is like a ray of light in the depths of the palace, which leads people to reverie. So, what kind of skills does Chang Yu have that can make the noble Queen Mother Zhao Ji fall for him, and even give everything for him?
Zhao Ji's life can be described as ups and downs. She was originally Lü Buwei's favorite concubine, and later became the queen of Qin due to various opportunities. However, with the death of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, Zhao Ji's life fell into loneliness and depression. At this moment, Chang Yu's appearance, like a spring breeze, blew away the haze in Zhao Ji's heart.
Chang Yu is not an ordinary person, he has an unusual talent in the affairs of men and women. This talent makes him unique in the harem, and it also makes him the darling of Zhao Ji's heart. Zhao Ji's love for Chang Yu can be said to be obsessed. Not only is she inseparable from Chang Yu, but she also gave birth to two children for him, completely immersed in this forbidden love.
However, Chang's ambitions didn't stop there. Relying on Zhao Ji's favor, he began to expand his power in the harem, and even tried to interfere in court politics. His arrogant behavior eventually aroused Yingzheng's vigilance and anger. In a drunken gaffe, Chang Yu claimed to be Ying Zheng's "false father", and this remark immediately became the fuse for Ying Zheng to eradicate him.
In the end, Chang Yu was sentenced to death, and his family was also implicated. This court turmoil caused by desire ended in a tragic ending. And Zhao Ji also lost her last support and shelter in this turmoil.
Looking back on this history, we can't help but sigh: Chang Yu's skills may be the key to winning Zhao Ji's favor, but it is also the root of his demise. In the maelstrom of power, no one is immune. And the forbidden love between Zhao Ji and Chang Yu is just a short and poignant wave in the long river of history.
This history has also left a profound lesson for us. In the face of the temptation of power, the weakness of human nature is often magnified. Whether it is Zhao Ji's loneliness and longing, or Chang Yu's ambition and arrogance, they have become the catalyst for their destruction. This makes us wonder: how can we stick to our principles and bottom line in the struggle for power?
At the same time, we must also recognize that history is not simply black and white. Each character has its own complexity and multifacetedness. Although Zhao Ji was indulged in forbidden love, she was also the queen of Qin and worked hard for the prosperity and stability of Qin. And although Chang Yu has extraordinary skills, his ambition and arrogance eventually lead to his demise. We should look at historical figures and events from a more comprehensive and objective perspective and draw lessons from them.
In addition, this history reminds us that the power of emotions is immense, it can make people lose themselves, and it can also make people brave to face difficult situations. Zhao Ji's obsession and love for Chang Yu let us see the powerful power of emotion. However, while pursuing emotional satisfaction, we must not neglect our responsibility to ourselves and society. We should learn to find a balance between emotions and responsibilities to make our lives more fulfilling and meaningful.
In short, the forbidden love between Chang Yu and Zhao Ji is a remarkable chapter in the history of the Qin Dynasty. It allows us to see the complexity of human nature and the allure of power. By deeply understanding and thinking about this history, we can draw wisdom and inspiration from it, and provide reference and reference for our life and social progress.
