The story of one man and many women has always been the most common version of ancient China. After all, in ancient times, it was a patriarchal society, men were in a central position, and women could only be attached to men to have the value of existence.
And in ancient societies, when stories happened between a man and multiple women, we tended to talk about women. A woman who is unsuccessful, sad or miserable, will only find reasons in women.
For example, when Empress Wang, Xiao Shufei, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi had a story, our evaluation was always like this: Empress Wang was kind but stupid, Xiao Shufei was crazy and ignorant, Wu Zetian was cruel but smart, and in the end, Wu Zetian succeeded. Few people will go to Li Zhi for any problems.
For example, the relationship between Emperor Wu of Han and Wei Zifu and Chen Ajiao, we will say that Chen Ajiao was arrogant and overbearing, Wei Zifu was tolerant and intelligent, and finally Wei Zifu defeated Chen Ajiao. Almost no one talked about what was wrong with Emperor Wu of Han.
In short, the story of a man and multiple women happening, in ancient times was taken for granted, the discourse of discussion, never left the female, the male is not discussed at all, because the male is naturally right.
What if a woman has a story with multiple men?
There is no doubt that this woman will be despised. For example, Xia Ji, she has a story with many men, so everyone believes that this is a debauched woman. Look, still no one talks about men.
Today we are going to talk about a woman, this woman, she also had a story with many men, and her story is very exciting. However, few people in history have criticized her. What's going on?
This woman's name was Madame Huarui.
Lady Huarui was a talented woman, and she wrote a very famous poem "Shu Guo's Death Poem": "The flag was lowered on the king's city, and the concubines learned about it in the deep palace." Fourteen thousand people were disarmed, and none of them were boys. ”
This poem is an answer from Lady Huarui when Zhao Kuangyin caught Lady Huarui and asked Lady Huarui why Later Shu perished. It is also a summary of her demise of the Shu kingdom. In Lady Huarui's view, those armies of Later Shu did not fight hard, and had nothing to do with her as a concubine. Not only did it have nothing to do with her as a concubine, but it also had nothing to do with Meng Chang. In Lady Huarui's view, Meng Chang was a good king, but he chose a bad general. The general and the soldiers under his command, when fighting, were greedy for life and afraid of death, and they simply did not have the backbone to defend their families and the country.
Obviously, Zhao Kuangyin was not satisfied with this explanation given by Madame Hua Rui. Zhao Kuangyin gave another answer, he took Meng Chang a bedpan studded with seven gems and said, a king, if so luxurious, will be inlaid with gems on his own bedpan, you say that this king does not finish the country, wait a few hours!
Of course, whether it is Madame Hua Rui's summary or Zhao Kuangyin's summary, it is actually one-sided. Zhao Kuangyin put all the responsibility on Meng Chang's body, which was also wrong, Meng Chang was a king who was deeply loved and supported by the people of Shudi, and Meng Chang left Chengdu from Shudi and arrived at Kaifeng on the way, and the people along the way had been crying. Why do ordinary people cry? Obviously, it was because they felt that Meng Chang was a good king, and everyone didn't want him, so they would cry at him like this.
However, Madame Huarui put all the responsibility on the soldiers, which was certainly not right. Of course, a good army is trained by a general, but a good general must be chosen by the king. A king who has vision will choose a good general; without a vision, it is impossible for a king to choose a good general. Moreover, how much money to spend on national defense is decided by the king. The less money you invest, the weaker an army's ability to fight.
In short, the two people's evaluation of Meng Chang is relatively one-sided. However, what is interesting is that Zhao Kuangyin's words are obviously full of vinegar. Because Lady Huarui did not criticize Meng Chang in her words, this made Zhao Kuangyin very unhappy, so he vigorously accused Meng Chang.
In the face of Zhao Kuangyin's bullying, Lady Huarui did not choose to deny her ex-husband Meng Chang, which was the first place where Lady Huarui was respected by future generations.
After Lady Huarui followed Zhao Kuangyin, her identity was extremely embarrassing. Where is the embarrassment? On the one hand, she was a concubine who had been captured by the enemy country, not zhao Kuangyin ming media; on the other hand, Lady Huarui had no sons, and Zhao Kuangyin was already 50 years old at that time, and her ability to have children was already very poor. This made Lady Huarui a little flustered, and she had to think about her status after Zhao Kuangyin's death. Therefore, when she saw that Zhao Kuangyin had not established the position of prince for a long time, she gave Zhao Kuangyin a hint, hoping that Zhao Kuangyin could make Zhao Dezhao the crown prince.
As for why Madame Huarui mentioned this, some people may say that Madame Huarui wants to be a shunshui person. Why? Because Zhao Dezhao was at that time, he was equivalent to Zhao Kuangyin's eldest son. If Zhao Kuangyin wanted to choose the crown prince among his sons, he would definitely choose Zhao Dezhao.
Lady Hua Rui said that if she didn't say this, Zhao Dezhao would become the prince. Therefore, Mrs. Huarui pushed the boat along the water and wanted to be a meritorious person because of this.
However, this statement is problematic.
As far as the political situation at that time was concerned, the person most qualified to receive the right of succession was actually Zhao Guangyi. And Zhao Kuangyin also recognized this. Zhao Kuangyin did not intend to pass the throne to his son, after all, he had just experienced five long twists and turns, and if there was no one with extremely high political wisdom to become emperor, it was very likely that the Song Dynasty's Jiangshan could not continue for a long time. Although Zhao Dezhao is an adult, his political experience and political wisdom are not enough, and Zhao Guangyi is obviously a better candidate in this regard. Therefore, at that time, the most suitable candidate in Zhao Kuangyin's heart was Zhao Guangyi.
This point, the entire imperial court can see, many people are pestering Zhao Guangyi, the action is very big. Can't Madame Flower See?
No, she must have seen it. But it can be seen that why not bother Zhao Dezhao, hoping that Zhao Kuangyin can pass the throne to Zhao Dezhao?
Moreover, at that time, Zhao Guangyi was still playing With Madame Huarui's idea. Zhao Guangyi was very fond of Lady Huarui, originally he wanted to get Lady Huarui, but his brother Zhao Kuangyin had already taken the lead, and he had no choice but to sigh at Lady Huarui. However, most of them were in words and actions, and there were some expressions that made Madame Huarui feel his thoughts.
From this point of view, if Lady Huarui wants to maintain her future position, she should secretly cross Chen Cang from Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Guangyi. Just like Wu Zetian secretly crossed Chen Cang with Li Zhi in order to pursue power. Mrs. HuaRui should be able to see that Zhao Guangyi is a potential stock. At the same time, Zhao Guangyi was teasing her again, which was simply a godsend.
But Madame Flower Bud did not do this.
In the face of Zhao Kuangyin, Lady Huarui chose not to blame her ex-husband Meng Chang. In the face of Zhao Guangyi, Mrs. Huarui chose not to please this potential stock. It is precisely because of this that Madame Huarui deserves our respect. Although she has had stories with three men in her life, no one has criticized her for doing something wrong. Because Madame Huarui is reserved, proud, and dignified.
In the end, Lady Huarui was killed by Zhao Guangyi, who was embarrassed and angry, and took the opportunity to hunt. After all, Lady Huarui wanted Zhao Kuangyin to make Zhao Dezhao the crown prince, shaking the foundation of Zhao Guangyi, and Zhao Guangyi absolutely did not allow Lady Huarui to live again.
Lady Huarui was shot to death by Zhao Guangyi, but Zhao Kuangyin did not seek justice for her, but acquiesced to Zhao Guangyi's behavior. Lady Huarui defended herself for zhao kuangyin. But Zhao Kuangyin discarded Madame Huarui like a mustard. So cold and thin, it is a pity that Mrs. Huarui has a clean heart!
