Since ancient times, hongyan has suffered many misfortunes, and it is known that Shang died in DaiJi and Xia died in Daixi, but putting the fault on women to summarize the demise of a dynasty is the usual means of some Confucian scholars.
But the end of the Xia Dynasty is indeed inextricably linked to Yu Xi.
Yu Xi was originally a slave obtained by Xia Jie in his crusade against Shi Guo, because Yu Xi was too good-looking to get Xia Jie's favor.
It is also said that Yu Xi was most likely a princess of Shi Guo, and Yu Xi voluntarily went to Xia Jie's side to protect her homeland.
Yan Guan said that Xia Jie really looked at Yu Xi's beauty.
Since then, Xia Jie has been infatuated with this country-loving Yuxi, obeying his words, pampering him in every way, seeking pleasure all day long, and accompanying Yuxi not in the early dynasty.
But Yu Xi never gave up her path to revenge.
Although YuXi has not forgotten her hatred, she also knows that revenge cannot be accomplished overnight.
Yu Xi liked to watch people drown in the wine pool, so she created an oversized wine pool, which attracted many people to sing songs night and night, watching the people of the Xia Dynasty get drunk one by one by the side of the wine pool, and then order people to push down and drown in the wine pool. This can also be regarded as the earliest bar culture, that is, it is a bit cruel.
Yu Xi was also fascinated by the sound of cracking the veil, and Jie Xi was responsive to Yu Xi's needs, but this was a violent heavenly object, and the complicated craftsmanship was originally a scarce thing, and soon the palace was torn up, and the palace was gone, so that all the princes would offer offerings.
How could Jie know how precious this thing was, how expensive it was, and how much it was to make the people complain by scavenging the people's fat and the people's anointing.
The satin tearing sound has heard enough yuxi and is fascinated by another game, the sword wears a crown, pretends to be a man, and is a bit of a transvestite to put it bluntly. Yu Xi was originally very beautiful, such a dress made Jie even more infatuated, so he took Yu Xi to the dynasty, and the old ministers of the Xia Dynasty could not see it, and some of them were not afraid of death, and they advised Jie, and the result was not at all unexpected.
Whether these fetishes of Yu Xi are deliberately acting for revenge or like it in themselves is impossible to verify, but it does lay some foreshadowing for the demise of Xia Jie.
These habits, whether intentional or unintentional, did slowly corrupt the Xia Dynasty, but they were also a drop in the bucket, until they met the real spy sent by the Shang, Yi Yin.
The two immediately hit it off, and with the help of Yu Xi, Yi Yin also gained Ji's trust. Yu Xi then went on to corrupt the dynasty, dividing the relationship between Ji and the various princes, and Yi Yin was responsible for passing on information
When the time came, Yi Yin began to spread rumors to the Shang that Ji had an unlucky dream, which heralded the demise of the Xia Dynasty.
For the people at that time, they felt that this prophecy was the will of heaven, and at this time, the people of Xia Jie were lost, and Shang rebelled to destroy Xia.
There is also a version that says that Yuxi is to take revenge for falling out of favor, after all, after being together for a long time, feelings will also occur, and hatred will be temporarily put aside, but Jie got two beauties and snubbed Yuxi in the crusade against Minshan, and Yuxi hated and hated it.
The lonely Yu-hee meets Yi Yin and resumes her revenge.
No matter what version it was, Xia Jie's demise really had a lot to do with Yu Xi.
Four: The happy ending
Although Yu Xi contributed to the demise of the Xia Dynasty, the princes of all walks of life believed that Xia Jie's absurdity and insolence also had a reason for Yu Xi, and those special habits of Yu Xi also offended the princes of all walks of life, and ran to the mountains with Xia Ji when Xia Jie's army was defeated, and finally starved to death in the mountains. This is a bit of a meaning of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.
Although Yu Xi's actions exacerbated Xia's demise, Xia Jie's absurdity was the root cause of Xia's demise, but it was indeed unfair to attribute the demise to Yu Xi alone.
It is only a matter of time before indulging in lascivious pleasures, ruling violently, the people complaining, and whether there is joy or not will perish. What do you think?
