During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wen Jiang, the daughter of Qi Qi gong, was an uncompromising legendary woman, although she was known as the "Spring and Autumn Four Beauty" along with Xi Shi, Xi Concubine, and Xia Ji, but at the same time she was also known in history because she and her brother Qi Xianggong had always maintained an unrequited love.
Wen Jiang's bold affair with his brother was even recorded by the "Book of Poetry", and the song "Qi Feng Zai Drive" is a specific portrayal of the brothers and sisters' secret meeting.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" Data-track="2" princess Wenjiang > one of the "Four Beauty of Spring and Autumn"</h1>
In the land of Qilu in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a pair of well-known and gorgeous royal sisters, they were the pearl in the palm of the Duke of Qi, the noble princess of the State of Qi, the sister was called Xuanjiang, married to Wei Xuangong as his wife, and the younger sister was called Wen Jiang, married to Lu Huangong as his wife.
Although the sister Xuan Jiang Fang is beautiful, but the younger sister Wen Jiang's posture is even better, she is not only called "Spring and Autumn Four Beauty" together with Xi Shi, Xi Concubine and Xia Ji because of the beauty of the country, but also quite talented and courageous, good at handling political affairs. Wen Jiang's original surname is Jiang, and the word "Wen" in her name refers to her literary talent, talent, and beauty.
So, how beautiful is Wen Jiang?
Flipping through the book "Book of Poetry", which has always loved to depict ladylike beauties, we found the answer in the poem "There is a female car" in the "Zheng Feng Chapter": There is a lesbian car, Yan Rushunhua... Beautiful and both... Deyin does not forget. This means that the beautiful woman Wen Jiang who goes out on the tour in the same car is as exquisite and light as a hibiscus flower, and her virtue is like jade, and it is really beautiful as a flower and the national color is heavenly fragrance.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > Wenjiang, although he looks like a country, has also been rejected by Zheng Guoshizi</h1>
After Wen Jiang became an adult, as a father, Duke Qi naturally had to choose a husband for a woman, and among the younger generation of princes and grandchildren, Duke Qi took the lead in favoring Gongzi Ku, the son of Duke Zhengzhuang.
Duke Qi and Duke Zheng zhuang have always had a good relationship, and if the two countries become in-laws again, they are bound to unite strongly and powerfully, and they can rely on each other in the future. Zheng Zhuanggong was also very happy when he learned of Qi's idea of marrying and making good friends, and immediately expressed his agreement to marry.
Although both Zheng Zhuanggong and Qi Gonggong were very happy that their children wanted to marry each other, gongzi, who was the party concerned, suddenly rejected the marriage on the grounds that "Qi Da was not even".
Gongzi Kuo did know that princess Wen Jiang of the State of Qi was a noble and beautiful human being, but Gongzi Kuo was very strong and had heavy self-esteem, and he did not want to rely on the prestige of his father to win a wife when he was useless and nameless, if he could choose, Gongzi Ku was more willing to rely on his own achievements and meritorious names to win the hearts of beautiful people.
As soon as the news of the refusal to marry reached Wen Jiang's ears, the princess, who had always been proud and arrogant, could not stand it at once. The angry Wen Jiang first cried and smashed everything in his palace that could be smashed, and then he fell ill due to anger, and he was bedridden for dozens of days without thinking about tea and food.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > love due to illness, and the young girl Wen Jiang has an unrequited love affair with her half-brother</h1>
The incident of retiring from marriage made the 15-year-old Wen Jiang lose face, and this princess, who has always been proud of others, could not help but start to claustrophobic herself, never thinking about eating and drinking to lying sick in bed, and it was only a few days before and after.
Duke Qi had 3 sons and 5 daughters in his lifetime, and his three sons were Prince Jiang Zhu'er, Gongzi Gui, and Gongzi Xiaobai. During the reign of Duke Qi, the crown prince Jiang Zhu'er succeeded to the throne and became a well-known Duke Xiang of Qi in history.
Among the 8 royal children of Duke Qi, only Jiang Zhu'er and his sister Wen Jiang had the best relationship, they played games together from childhood, and the brother and sister feelings between the two were much deeper than others.
When Wen Jiang was angry and bedridden because of the divorce, the crown prince Jiang Zhu'er went to visit his sister Wen Jiang's palace from time to time to visit and comfort, Wen Jiang was not a diet, Jiang Zhu'er personally pulled up his sleeve and held the rope, and even coaxed Wen Jiang to feed some food.
Over time, there were some different feelings between a brother who was upright and hot-blooded and a delicate and sick sister, from the initial thoughts and expectations of each other to the later eyebrows and love.
Wen Jiang's loneliness and loss in the illness is not difficult to imagine, but this beautiful goddess must have inadvertently developed psychological dependence on her brother Jiang Zhu'er at that time, and they fell in love because of the illness, and even became a pair of close lovers who did not care.
Of course, paper could not contain the fire, and the brothers and sisters' unrequited love was soon discovered by his father, Qi Gong, who had always been decisive and neat in his work, and he married a beautiful woman of the Song Kingdom to the prince Jiang Zhu'er as quickly as possible, and then anxiously looked around for a good wife, wanting to marry Wen Jiang quickly and let her leave the Qi court as soon as possible.
Soon, Jia's son-in-law was found, and in 712 BC, Duke Huan of Lu married Wen Jiang. After the big wedding, Lu Huangong was fascinated by Wen Jiang's beauty and intelligence, and could be described as obedient and deeply pampered to Lady Wen Jiang.
In the third year after marriage, Wen Jiang became pregnant and gave birth to a son named Gongzi Tong, later duke of Luzhuang.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > married to a woman but still obsessed with the old people, Wen Jiang, who is in an unrequited relationship, is scolded as "the first demon woman in spring and autumn"</h1>
It is reasonable to say that after marrying The Duke of Lu Huan, Wen Jiang not only received unlimited pampering and love from her husband, but also successfully promoted to mother, she should feel satisfied and lucky, and from then on, she would teach her son, be the mother of a country in peace, and enjoy the boundless quiet of the years.
Unfortunately, Wen Jiang was in the middle of the blessing but did not know the blessing, taking the opportunity of returning to the Country of Qi with her husband to visit relatives, Wen Jiang and his brother Qi Xianggong once again rekindled their old feelings and hooked up into adultery, at that time Wen Jiang had become a slut who was deeply involved in the vortex of desire.
During the days when Qi Guo lived, Wen Jiang often left her husband Lu Huangong behind and met alone with his brother Qi Xianggong. At first, Lu Huangong didn't think anything of it, but he slowly became suspicious, wondering what happened to his beloved wife who had been away for a long time.
Later, after several days of secret observation and attention, Lu Huangong finally discovered the scandal between Wen Jiang and Qi Xianggong.
At that time, the State of Qi was strong and the State of Lu was weak, and Duke Huan of Lu did not dare to rebuke Duke Xiang of Qi, so he could only scold Wen Jiang privately. Wen Jiang was angry and annoyed, and turned around and told his brother Qi Xianggong about the reprimand he had suffered from his husband, and when the tears rained down, he became more and more moving.
Qi Xianggong saw that the matter had reached this point, and did not want such secrets to be spread by Lu Huangong, so he killed his brother-in-law. Soon, Duke Xiang of Qi did order someone to kill Duke Huan of Lu to death, and after the death of Duke Huan of Lu, Wen Jiang did not dare to return to the State of Lu, and settled down on the border between the State of Qi and the State of Lu, so that she could drive to the Palace of the King of Qi from time to time and continue to obsess over and meet with her brother.
Wen Jiang and Qi Xianggong's brotherhood and sisterhood have even been despised by the world, and the poem "Qi Feng Zai Drive" in the Book of Poetry also secretly satirizes the unrequited love between Wen Jiang and Qi Xianggong, which has become a specific portrayal of the brothers and sisters' secret meetings.
Later, Wen Jiang and the eldest son of Duke Huan of Lu inherited the throne of the State of Lu, and Wen Jiang, who was quite talented in government, also taught his son Duke Lu Zhuang how to manage the government affairs of the State of Lu through correspondence, all of which showed her wisdom and talent in mastering the wisdom and talent of the wise.
From this point of view, although Wen Jiang is unparalleled in talent, she has a loss of private morality, and after she married and had children, she still had the courage to have an affair with Qi Xianggong and entangled endlessly, which is indeed very unorthodox.
The scandals of this Spring and Autumn Period were eventually passed down to the present day because of the inclusion of the Book of Poetry, and in the end, the magnificent Wen Jiang was not forgotten by the present. Wise? Notorious? In fact, it doesn't seem to be so important.
