Empress Dowager Mi Yue had a magnificent life. In her early years, she had a bad fate and was bullied. However, she was able to use her scheming and strategies to turn things around. In the second half of his life, he actually controlled the affairs of state, controlled the affairs of state, and indulged himself in whatever he wanted. Mi Yue's strategies and methods have a profound impact on the audience, but the love affair between Mi Yue, the sentimental Empress Dowager Xuan, and King Yiqu Rong is even more interesting. In the TV series, King Yiqu was infatuated with Mi Yue, and Mi Yue gave birth to two children for him. The two lived together for more than 30 years. But in the end Mi Yue actually killed Ai Lang and Ganquan Palace. Mi Yue's "cruel-heartedness" and King Yiqu's "deep affection" are in sharp contrast, making the audience shout that King Yiqu is not worth it. So is this plot really recorded in history?
Let’s first understand the historical Empress Dowager Miyue: There was indeed a person in history, and the famous Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng was her great-great-grandson. As for his name, I only know that it is Mi, not Mi Yue. Mi is the national surname of the Chu State, and Mi Bazi was also given the title after she became the concubine of King Qin Huiwen. Let’s call her Mi Yue. Mi Yue was a native of the Chu State during the Warring States Period. She should be one of the half-sisters of King Huai of Chu. There are not many records of the situation in the Chu State in history books. The TV series said that she came as her sister’s dowry. When he arrived in Qin, he walked step by step to King Qin Huiwen. This period of history is not recorded in detail.
It can only be said that it is possible, at least from the Chu State to the Qin State. There has always been a tradition of political marriage between Qin and Chu during the Warring States Period. Mi Yue and King Qin Huiwen had a son, but he was sent to Yan State as a hostage. When King Qin Huiwen died, King Wu of Qin came to the throne. King Wu was extremely powerful and trained athletes to lift weights. As a result, the professional protection was not in place and the femur was broken. At that time, the medical conditions were not good and she died in August of that year. This unexpected change made Miyue's fortune turn around. Her son was recalled from Yan State and inherited the throne. He was known as King Zhaoxiang of Qin in history.
These are recorded in "Historical Records - Qin Benji"
King Wu was powerful and good at drama, and the powerful men Ren Bi, Wu Huo and Meng Shuo were all high officials. Wang and Meng said that raising the cauldron would be extremely embarrassing. In August, King Wu died. Zu Meng said. King Wu took the daughter of Wei as his queen and had no children. Li Yi's mother and brother were King Zhaoxiang. Zhaoxiang's mother was from Chu. Her surname was Mi and her name was Queen Mother Xuan. When King Wu died, King Zhaoxiang pledged it to Yan, and the people of Yan sent him back, and the land was established.
The Empress Dowager Xuan gradually stepped onto the political stage from then on, listening to politics behind the curtain and controlling the government. Regarded as the earliest female emperor recorded in Chinese history, she dominated the government and ruled for more than 40 years. In the early days of his rule, he extinguished internal strife in Qin, intimidated other countries, attacked and destroyed Yiqu State, and eliminated major troubles in the western part of Qin, laying the groundwork for Qin's future unification. History books evaluate Empress Dowager Xuan as comparable to Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo, which is a very high evaluation. Of course, history books about her romantic affairs also spared no effort in writing: "Historical Records - Biography of the Huns" records: "During the reign of King Qin Zhao, King Yiqurong and the Queen Mother Xuan had a quarrel and had two sons. The Queen Mother Xuan deceived and killed Yiqu. The Rong king was in Ganquan, so he launched an army to attack Canyiqu. So Qin had Longxi, Beidi and Shangjun and built the Great Wall to resist the Hu. "
During the reign of King Zhao of Qin, the king of the Rong people in Yiqu had an affair with the Queen Mother Xuan. They committed adultery and gave birth to two children. Empress Dowager Xuan murdered King Yiqu Rong in Ganquan Palace, so she sent troops to attack and eliminate Yiqu. The Qin State occupied Longxi, Beidi, and Shangjun, and built the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu attack.
It seems that this plot is indeed recorded in the history books, but the subsequent circumstances of the two children are not recorded in the history books. I think they either died young or were unable to escape and were executed after the death of King Yiqurong. fate. This made everyone stunned and sighing at the same time that a woman could be so cruel.
