The world says that she is a femme fatale, and she overthrew a dynasty.
For a long time, Shi Xian -xi has been branded as a disaster, but it is more or less unfair for Shi Xian -xi to put the destruction of a country on a woman.
Bai Yang once said in "The Death of the Queen of Ancient Books in China":
As a "victim", Shi Xianxi did everything she did for her motherland. In the debauchery of dogs and horses, Shi Xianxi ended a dynasty and nailed himself to the shame column of national subjugation forever.
It is said that beauty is a disaster, and it is true in a sense.
The word "disaster" first appeared in Yan Fei's legends, referring to Zhao and Zhao Hede, the favorite sisters of Emperor Han Chengdi.
Zhao Yanfei and Zhao Hede sisters confused Han Chengdi and became the queen and Zhao Yi respectively. Dr PiXiang brain Fangcheng exclaimed:
According to the theory of five virtues, the Han Dynasty was a fire virtue, and "disaster" meant that Zhao would bring disaster to the Han Dynasty.
Later people called it "disaster" a woman who cheated and lost things.
If we arrange the "disasters" in the history of China in chronological order, then the first one may be Shi Xianxi, Princess of Xia Jie.
During Xia Jie's administration, he imposed exorbitant taxes and wanton crusades.
In the thirty-third year of his reign, he was furious that a small state-owned stone did not pay tribute to the Xia Dynasty and sent troops to attack the secluded stone room.
You is weak, no match for Xia Dynasty. Seeing him under siege, You immediately expressed his willingness to pay tribute.
However, due to Xia Jie's tyrannical factors, he refused to give up and vowed to kill You.
Someone in the secluded stone room heard that Xia Jie was very lewd, and at this time there was a ready-made stunning beauty in their secluded stone room tribe.
You Shishi presented a lot of gold, silver and jewels and their number one beauty.
Seeing her beauty, Xia Jie was overjoyed and immediately withdrew.
Xi 'an Xi knows that she shoulders the heavy responsibility of her home country. She wants to protect her people from the slaughter of war, and she wants Xia Guojun to stop sending troops to the tribe.
Now, she can only seduce Xia Jie with beauty to achieve her goal.
Fuxi failed to live up to the people's trust, not only calmed Xia Jie's anger with beauty, but also made him withdraw, and soon became Xia Jie's favorite concubine.
This also opened the prelude to the demise of the Daxia Dynasty.
The Eastern Han Dynasty's Wu Yue Chun Qiu wrote:
In Wu Zixu's view, the downfall of the ——Xia Dynasty originated from the sage Xi, the downfall of the Shang Dynasty originated from da ji, and the downfall of the Zhou Dynasty originated from praise.
Wu Zixu used these three women to persuade Fu Cha, the king of Wu, not to accept the stone, thinking that the stone was used by the State of Yue to confuse Fu Cha, and the State of Wu would probably perish because of the stone.
However, Fu Cha didn't listen to Wu Zixu's advice, took sides with Shi, then ignored the state affairs, led a dissolute life, and finally became the king of national subjugation.
What Wu Zixu said is not empty talk.
After Shixian entered Xia Jie Palace, he charmed Xia Jie with five fans and three roads, which made Xia Jie swoon, indulge in debauchery, and turn a blind eye to state affairs.
Exaggerated, Xia Jie thought that none of his palaces could keep Xi 'an Xi alive.
Therefore, Xia Jie recruited a large number of civilian workers to build his own palace for his beloved concubine.
Soon, a tall, generous and luxurious palace was completed. Because it is very high, it feels like falling down, so it is named "Tilting Palace".
In the sloping palace, there are jade platforms in Qiongshi, corridors inlaid with ivory and beds carved with white jade, all of which are extremely luxurious.
Huan, who grew up in a poor tribe in the secluded stone room, has never had a chance to see such a luxurious scene, let alone appreciate one or two.
This time, Xuan Xi saw it, and it still belongs to her. How could she be unhappy!
On the day when the Qing Palace was completed, Xia Jie held a grand banquet in the Qing Palace, hoping to make Xuan happy.
At the banquet, many dancers sang and danced. Xia Jie turned to look at Xuan, thinking that Xuan would be very happy, only to find that Xuan's face did not brighten, so he asked in a hurry:
Xian Xi Party really grasped the pulse of Xia Jie and knew that whatever she asked for, Xia Jie would realize it for her.
The building of the tilting palace was originally intended to consume the financial resources of the Xia Dynasty, but now it is very lonely to ask for other expenses.
Hearing this, Xia Jie also felt that what Xi 'an said was very reasonable, and immediately sent an imperial edict to Cao Touchong, asking him to go door-to-door to select young and beautiful girls to act as dancers.
In addition, let Yu Xin organize people to make dance clothes and embroidery, and pay within a time limit.
Cao Molong and Yu Xin are both flattering villains, and they are very happy to get this good job, because the oil and water inside are very fat!
The two men took the opportunity to do evil, plunder the people, rob the money, and forcibly take away the beautiful woman.
For a time, the people complained and suffered.
Soon three thousand beautiful women were selected and began to train singing and dancing. A month later, after the training, Cao touched the dragon and played. Xia Jie immediately ordered three thousand dancers to be sent to the tilted palace.
Xia Jie took Xi 'an to sit on the high building of the Xiegong, leaning against the railing and watching 3,000 dancers enter the Xiegong.
The dance team in colorful embroidered costumes filed into the palace gate.
The first batch of 100 dancers, all wearing big red embroidered clothes, wearing turquoise ribbons, wearing double buns on their heads and wearing phoenix hostesses, walked slowly.
Then 100 people wear yellow embroidered clothes and scarlet ribbons;
Then 100 people in emerald embroidered clothes poured into the palace.
Subsequently, pink, peach, apricot, snow white, sky blue and dark green were simply colorful and dazzling.
All 3000 dancers have beautiful faces and slim bodies. After entering the tilting palace, everyone stood in a row according to the color of the dance clothes. Seen from a height, they look like a huge colorful blanket.
Such a spectacular sight shocked and excited both Xi 'an and Xi 'an.
Suddenly, the drums were beating loudly, and there was a sweet music in the palace. Then 3,000 dancers twisted their waists and danced.
For a time, all kinds of dancers changed teams with the music, just like thousands of colorful butterflies dancing, flashing left and right, making people dazzling and swaying.
After a dance, Xia Jie smiled and ordered three thousand dancers to drink a glass of wine each.
It must take a long time for these three thousand dancers to give wine one by one, which made Fuxi, who was originally happy, impatient at once.
Then Hyun-hee came up with an idea to spend money. She can kill two birds with one stone by having fun and spending money.
Hearing this, Xia Jie held Xian Xi and praised Xian Xi for being clever.
So Cao touched the dragon and Yu Xin again and had something to do.
First, they dug a long and big pool, and then piled the excavated soil next to the pool to make a hill.
Then plant trees on the mountain, and soon there will be a forest on the mountain.
After the pool was built, they laid pebbles on the bottom of the pool and filled it with wine as pool water.
The mountains are covered with green brocade, which is used as grass, and cooked meat is made into bacon and hung on trees.
Then he built a boat and put it in the wine pool, where Xia Jie and Xi 'an could sit.
In this way, the "wine pool meat forest" was built.
When Xia Jie and Xian saw the meat forest in the wine pool, they were filled with joy.
Exquisite and elegant, delicious wine and meat, isn't it beautiful to live here?
From then on, I took Huan by boat to have fun in the wine pool every day.
3000 dancers are all around the wine pool, singing and dancing endlessly.
During the intermission of the dance, the beautiful women all went to the pool, bowed their heads and drank the water from the cows, and then went to the meat forest to pick meat to eat. At that time, the palace was full of laughter.
Some dancers were too tired to dance and accidentally fell into the wine pool and drowned while drinking.
Seeing this scene, neither Xi' an nor Xi' an cared, even very happy.
Xia Jie, who indulges in debauchery every day, has long forgotten his ambition and lost his fighting spirit. He only knows luxury and pleasure, and no longer pays attention to state affairs.
Living in the ultimate pleasure every day, I felt a little bored, so I thought of an idea of spending money.
So he ordered the people to pay 100 silks every day, and told several powerful maids to tear up the silks one by one in front of Xuan to win her love.
Since Xian was in favor, she has built a palace and a Yaotai for her, selected 3,000 beautiful women, made dance clothes, built a wine pool and meat forest, and torn silks and silks, all of which cost a lot.
In this regard, the people have long complained.
Xia Jie is profligate every day, and the originally substantial national treasury is gradually empty.
In order to make up the deficit, Xia Jie constantly conquered all directions and plundered the people at will. At that time, the people complained, and the people were miserable.
Someone pointed to the sun and scolded:
A group of loyal ministers, such as Guan and Long Ti, have also remonstrated with Xia Jie, but to no avail.
Minister Guan Longti protested several times, but Xia Jie wouldn't listen. Finally, Guan Longti gave his life to remonstrate:
Hearing this, Xia Jie became angry from embarrassment and spoke a famous sentence in history:
Say that finish, then check the dragon body to death.
Soon, under the planning of Yi Yin, Shang Tang rose up against Xia Jie.
Shang Tang destroyed Guo Wei and Gu Guo and defeated Kunwu Guo, all of which were Xia Jie's confidants.
Then the Shang army forced Xia Chao Town to sing.
When Xia Jie got the news, his troops arrived at the outpost, and the two armies fought, and suddenly there was a heavy rain.
Xia Jie watched the battle on the top of the mountain. When it rained, he hurried down the mountain to escape.
Because Xia Jie has lived a luxurious life for many years, the people are suffering and the soldiers in the army are also suffering. Soldiers in the army have long hated their monarch.
Taking advantage of the heavy rain, these people fled one after another, unwilling to risk their lives for Xia Jie.
When Xia Jie saw it, he knew that the tide had ebbed, so he ran away in a hurry.
Later, with Huan and some treasures, they boarded a boat and crossed the river under the pursuit of Shang army, and fled to Nanchao. Both of them died on the way.
Since then, the Xia Dynasty has perished.
With the demise of Xia Dynasty, Huan was branded as a femme fatale.
In the interweaving of love and transaction, Huan became the first "sacrifice" to subvert the dynasty.
Since then, various "women's history of national subjugation" have been staged continuously.
