The drama "The Legend of Miyue" allows us to see the legendary life of an extraordinary woman. Mi Yue was originally just a princess who was married into the Qin Kingdom, and she wanted to live an ordinary and stable life. But fate has put her in a lot of difficulties and faced difficult choices. In the end, she ruthlessly left her sweetheart Huang Xie and returned to Qin to help her son ascend the throne, becoming the first queen mother in Chinese history. All of this stems from her lofty ambition for the harmony of the world. However, why did Mi Yue make such a difficult choice? How did she break through the many difficulties and finally achieve hegemony? Let's find out.
Ordinary life is broken and caught in a dilemma
Mi Yue was originally just a princess who was married into the Qin Kingdom, and she wanted to live a stable and ordinary life. However, fate has put her to the test. In 238 BC, King Yingsi of Qin Huiwen died, and Miyue's son Yingji was only ten years old. The newly enthroned Qin Wangdang was young and his real power was controlled by Huiwen Hou Mishu. Mi Shu was bent on getting rid of Mi Yue's mother and son, so she took the opportunity to order Ying Ji to be sent to the distant and cold Yan Country as a hostage, and Mi Yue was not allowed to accompany her.
In the face of Mi Shu's persecution, Mi Yue was helpless. Ying Ji is still young, and if he goes to Yan Country alone, he will definitely be treated inhumanely. So, Mi Yue pleaded with Mi Shu in the court, and finally persuaded Qin Wangdang to be allowed to go to Yan with Yingji. However, this road is fraught with dangers. Not long after leaving the city, Miyue was assassinated, but fortunately, King Yiqu and his younger brother Wei Ran arrived in time to prevent the tragedy from happening.
After arriving in Yan Kingdom, Miyue's mother and son were in an even more difficult situation. The post station was set on fire, the treasure was stolen, and Mi Yue was accidentally burned. Ying Ji was taken away by the people of the Tingwei Mansion for killing a street bully by mistake, and Mi Yue's negotiations were fruitless, so she had to take risks and rob the prison. Just at the last moment, the deceased Huang Xie came to the rescue.
Huang Xie and Miyue reunited, the two met frankly, and under the persuasion of Huang Xie, Miyue finally let go of her obsession with power and decided to fly away with Huang Xie and live the ordinary life she longed for. However, at this moment, Qin Wangdang died unexpectedly, and Mi Shu and Queen Wei Yi had their own selfish intentions and fought to inherit the throne.
The envoys of the Qin State, Yong Rui and Zhao Sheng, rushed to the Yan State and welcomed the Miyue mother and son back to the Qin State. They told Mi Yue a shocking news: before his death, the former king had made an edict designating Ying Ji as his heir. Mi Yue's face turned pale after hearing this, she wanted to fly away with Huang Xie and live a dull life, but she didn't expect fate to push her to unprecedented heights again.
In the face of the civil strife in the Qin State and the edict of the previous king, Mi Yue fell into a dilemma: whether to pursue ordinary love, or to return to the Qin State to help her son ascend the throne? She had suffered a lot in the Yan Kingdom, and wanted to get rid of all this, but she was drawn into a new whirlpool.
Ordered in the face of danger, showing extraordinary courage
During their time in the Yan Kingdom, Miyue's mother and son encountered many hardships, but Miyue showed extraordinary courage and resourcefulness. Yanguo Post Station was set on fire, Miyue was accidentally burned, and Yingji was taken away by the people of Tingwei's Mansion for accidentally killing a street bully. In the face of this crisis, Mi Yue did not flinch, but used her extraordinary wisdom to try to save her son.
At that time, Yingji was imprisoned in the prison of Yandu and was heavily guarded. Mi Yue had no choice but to take risks, waiting for an opportunity to sneak into the prison, wanting to rescue her son in person. She first infiltrated the prison as an entertainer, then pretended to be a jailer, and finally approached Yingji's cell. Just as she was about to rescue Yingji, her identity was discovered and she fell into an even more dangerous situation.
Fortunately, at this time, Miyue's deceased Huang Xie arrived in time and came to the rescue. Huang Xie was not afraid of a strong enemy, outwitted the soldiers and horses of the Tingwei Mansion, and finally rescued Miyue's mother and son. If it weren't for Huang Xie's help, Miyue's mother and son would probably be unable to escape death.
After Mi Yue was rescued, she was deeply influenced by Huang Xie's teachings and began to reflect on her life path. She realized that it was wrong for her to blindly pursue power, and she should let go of her obsession and live an ordinary life. So, Mi Yue decided to fly away with Huang Xie, get rid of the troubles, and live the stable life she has been longing for for a long time.
However, at this moment, the envoys of the Qin State, Yongrui and Zhao Sheng, rushed to the Yan State and informed Mi Yue of a shocking news: the first king had made an edict before his death, appointing Ying Ji as his heir. Mi Yue wanted to stay away from right and wrong, but found that fate had once again pushed her to unprecedented heights.
Faced with the civil strife of the Qin State and the edict of the previous king, Mi Yue fell into a dilemma. She had suffered a lot in Yan Kingdom, and she wanted to get rid of all this, but she was swept into a new whirlpool. This time, she had to make a difficult choice.
In addition to showing extraordinary courage and resourcefulness, Mi Yue also met a group of rangers during her time in Yan Kingdom and helped them. These rangers later became important assistants to Miyue during the reign of Qin. At the same time, Miyue was also influenced by the ideas of Qu Yuan and others, and her thinking became more and more broad, and she became deeply interested in unifying the world and implementing reforms.
It was in the ordeal of the Yan Kingdom that Miyue exercised extraordinary courage and resourcefulness, and also cultivated great ambitions. This laid a solid foundation for her to govern in the Qin State in the future. In the face of many difficulties, Miyue never bowed her head, but was not afraid of danger and moved forward bravely, and finally achieved an extraordinary life.
The love of children is not as long as the ambition of the world, and the small family is for everyone
After Mi Yue was rescued, she wanted to fly away with Huang Xie and live the ordinary life she had longed for. However, the arrival of the envoys of the Qin State pushed her to unprecedented heights. Before his death, the former king made an edict designating Yingji as his heir. Faced with this major news, Mi Yue fell into a dilemma.
On the one hand, Mi Yue has a deep affection for Huang Xie. During his stay in Yan Kingdom, Huang Xie traveled thousands of miles to rescue Miyue's mother and son, and the relationship between the two also regained the warmth of the year. Now, Mi Yue can finally join hands with her sweetheart to live the ordinary life she longs for and get rid of the chaos of right and wrong.
On the other hand, although Mi Yue has suffered a lot in Yan Kingdom, her ambition to unify the world and implement reforms has never diminished. Recalling the legacy of the previous king, Mi Yue felt deeply responsible for continuing the career of the previous king. And the current civil strife in the Qin State is a good time to help his son ascend the throne.
Faced with these two dilemmas, Mi Yue fell into a deep struggle. Huang Xie saw Mi Yue's hesitation and took the initiative to point out the direction for her. He told Mi Yue that if he returned to Chu with him today, one day, Mi Yue would regret it. In the state of Chu, they are still human ministers, living below people. And if you go to the Qin State, you may be a king and decide the fate of others.
Huang Xie's words hit the depths of Mi Yue's heart. Mi Yue realizes that her ambitions and ambitions have gone beyond the plans of the small family. She is unwilling to be ordinary, unwilling to live only for herself all her life. She wants to be a soaring Kunpeng, not a bird. And Huang Xie's wings can no longer soar into the sky with her.
So, Mi Yue revealed her thoughts to Huang Xie: "Since I have survived, I must love what I love, hate what I hate, do what I want, and do what I can." Huang Xie couldn't stop Mi Yue, he could only wish her a good journey.
When parting, Huang Xie told Mi Yue that he would take care of her two younger brothers in the Chu State. If Mi Yue succeeds in Qin, he will reunite his family. If she doesn't succeed, Chu will always have a place for her to retreat, and he will wait for her there.
Mi Yue knows that this farewell may be the eternal secret. She remembered the kindness of the old Qin King to herself, and remembered the lofty ambition of unifying weights and measures and words. As a natural overlord, how could she be willing to be a wife? So at the post station, when she saw the two carriages with completely different fates, she had already made up her mind.
Mi Yue walked over to Huang Xie and gently stroked his cheek, this was the last intimate contact. But what Huang Xie waited for was just Mi Yue boarding the carriage back to Qin without looking back, and gradually drifted away with Yingji. Mi Yue ruthlessly abandoned Huang Xie in order to realize her ambitions in the world.
Achieve hegemony and create a new era
Mi Yue ruthlessly abandoned Huang Xie and returned to Qin with her son Yingji. With the edict of the former king and the support of many parties, Mi Yue quickly overthrew the dictatorship of Hui Wen Hou Mi Shu. In 238 BC, Ying Ji ascended the throne as the new King of Qin, and Mi Yue became the first Empress Dowager in Chinese history.
Once in power, Mi Yue did not stop there, but started her 41-year ruling career. She first set out to rectify the rule of officials, severely punished corruption, and restored the former glory of the Qin State. At the same time, she vigorously promotes and reuses talents, regardless of their background, and only looks at actual ability.
During Mi Yue's reign, the Qin state entered a period of unprecedented prosperity. She built a series of roads to facilitate military and commercial trade, and expanded the territory of the Qin state to the Central Plains. In order to unify the whole country, Mi Yue ordered the implementation of "the same book and the same track", that is, the unified writing and weights and measures system, which laid the foundation for the future national unification.
In addition to his outstanding political, economic, and military achievements, Miyue was also an enlightened monarch who valued education. She not only gave lectures herself, but also ordered the establishment of many schools across the country to train talents. At the same time, she also vigorously supported the development of cultural undertakings, making the Qin State the center of culture at that time.
During the reign of Mi Yue, the Qin State can be described as a thriving scene. However, she didn't stop there, but had bigger ambitions. In 230 BC, Miyue ordered a war to unify the six kingdoms. After several years of arduous warfare, in 221 BC, the great cause of national unification was finally achieved.
Since then, Miyue is not only the queen mother of Qin, but also the master of the entire Chinese land. She promulgated a series of policies that unified writing, weights and measures, currency, institutions, etc., laying the foundation for the future centralization of power. At the same time, she also vigorously promoted ideological education with Confucianism as the core, consolidating the ideological foundation of unity.
Mi Yue ruled for 41 years and was one of the longest-reigning monarchs in Chinese history. Her life can be described as magnificent and extraordinary. From a princess who was married into the Qin State to finally become a generation of overlords, Mi Yue used her wisdom and courage to rewrite the course of history.
end
She not only fulfilled the legacy of the previous king, but also ushered in a new era. During her reign, China entered an era of unprecedented unification, laying a solid foundation for future generations. It is Miyue's grand vision and foresight that make all this possible. Her life can be called one of the greatest women in Chinese history, and she will always be remembered and admired by future generations.
