According to legend, Qin Shihuang loved four women in his life, mainly because these four were relatively famous.
They are Afang, Li Jiang, Gongsun Yu, and more. Meng Jiangnu, who appeared relatively late in the later period.
Moreover, these three women are not only beautiful, they also grew up with Emperor Qin. They are all childhood sweethearts, and they are all Zhao daughters. Of course, except for That Meng Jiangnu is no longer.
Let’s compare.
1. Afang:
Old name is Xia Yufang, nickname is Afang. It is said that Xia Wu, the miracle doctor of Zhao Kingdom Kai's daughter. I met King Qin in Handan. Afang here is not only beautiful. To quote Lu Buwei, she is "what a stunning beauty." Think about it, even Han Fei will have that beautiful "Zhengzhou Dream" after knowing her, and the famous General Meng. Everyone who has never forgotten her knows how beautiful and outstanding she is. No wonder the first thing King Qin said when he saw her was "You are so beautiful." The King of Qin here is really infatuated with Afang. Think about the Afang Palace that will be famous for future generations.
Because the TV series that tells their story is mainly about the two of them, Afang should be the most vivid character and the favorite of King Qin.
However, a beautiful story does not necessarily have a happy ending. In the end, Afang died in the arms of King Qin, which further doomed the story to be beautiful and floating, because the real Afang did not live in real life. She lives in a beautiful myth, in the beautiful Afang Palace. It will always live in the heart of King Qin.
2. Li Jiang
Compared to the others at that time, she was a relatively ordinary woman, but she was as kind and beautiful as Afang. Her nickname was Si Ya. She was the playmate and good friend of King Qin in Handan when he was a child. Later, King Qin did not know about her after he returned to Xianyang. Later, for some reason, she became the daughter-in-law of Princess Min Dai of Zhao Kingdom. When King Qin was looking for a bride in the Six Kingdoms , went to Xianyang with the princess, but met the King of Qin at the Lishan Hot Spring. The King of Qin didn't know that she was Si Ya at that time, so he deliberately selected Li Jiang out of anger towards Lu Buwei and the Queen Mother, and ran away from the Six Kingdoms in anger. Princess. The plot here is really similar to that of Afang. Later, Li Jiang knew that the princess liked King Qin, so in order to satisfy the princess, she gave the princess the token of love that King Qin had given her. (It seems that the piece of jade given to Afang was also a piece of jade.) Later, for many reasons, mainly to satisfy the princess and the King of Qin, and most importantly for the King of Qin, she married San Geng, a man with very good martial arts. He liked her very much (similar to how General Meng liked Afang, both of whom saved their lives when they were in dire straits), but in the end he still stayed with King Qin. Moreover, when King Qin was about to die, all he dreamed about was the situation when he and Li Jiang were young.
The ending of this one is not good either, but it is much better than that of Afang, because Siyabi has lived with her beloved Zheng Ge for many years. Although she has no children, she has taken the two children of King Qin into consideration. Fusu and later Qin II took good care of him and treated him as his own child. Later, he was accidentally killed by the King of Qin in order to resolve the conflict between the King of Qin and Fusu. After King Qin nailed her by mistake, he held her and sat there for a long time, and she aged a lot overnight.
It is also a very beautiful story and a very beautiful woman.
3. Gongsun Yu
This is the favorite woman of King Qin mentioned in another book. Coincidentally, like Afang and Siya, she is also from Handan, Zhao State. She is also a woman who grew up with King Qin since childhood. The three women are all childhood sweethearts. However, the reunion between Gongsun Yu and King Qin was not as beautiful as Afang's, nor as coincidental as Si Ya's. King Qin accidentally entered a peach blossom forest on the way to a horse race, and met the little Handan girl who had appeared countless times in his dreams. Girl, but at this time the little girl in Handan has already married into a woman, how miserable it is. But in the end Gongsun Yu's husband died, and it was related to King Qin at that time.
Gongsunyu here really seems to have combined the dual characteristics of Li Shimin’s virtuous empress, the eldest grandson, and Yang Jier. She has all the advantages of women. From the King of Qin to the Queen Mother, to the maids, everyone dislikes her. of. And her ending is the best, she is a legitimate queen. Although she later became a beauty and had a bad life, she died of illness earlier than the First Emperor. After her death, Qin Shihuang never established a queen.
In fact, she is the happiest one, much happier than Afang and Siya, because she and her favorite Zheng have a child, although this child is not very popular, because it is Qin who later Second generation, but it doesn’t matter anymore. As for Afang and Siya, alas, especially Afang.
The similarities between these three extremely beautiful women are:
1. They are all from Handan, Zhao State, and they all met the King of Qin when they were children or youth.
2. They were both the first love of Qin Shi Huang and the only people he truly loved.
3. They all deeply love the King of Qin in their hearts, like Xiao Wenzi in Afang’s heart, Brother Zheng in Si Ya’s heart, and the boy from Handan in Gongsun Yu’s heart.
4. All three of them became classics after their death. After the death of Afang, there was an Afang Palace that was named after the later generations. The death of Siya directly led to the aging of the First Emperor and the majesty of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. The death of Gongsun Yu Later, the first emperor vowed never to establish a queen.
5. Regular tokens. Surprisingly, the regular tokens of the three people and the First Emperor were all jade.
The difference is that when King Qin gave Afang to Afang, it was in the Qin Palace in Xianyang; when King Qin gave it to Siya, it was when he left Handan and returned to Xianyang; when King Qin gave Gongsun Yu, it was when they met again in the peach blossom forest; it seems that the jade is really What a great token of love.
Looking at the three women, Afang is a legend, Siya is a dream in the heart, and Gongsun Yu is a myth.
