How did Zhang Lihua, who was born as a geisha, get the crime of "beauty is wrong"

In ancient China, many monarchs neglected state affairs because of their lust for the beauty of concubines, and eventually became kings of national subjugation. These favored concubines are also remembered by history, such as Empress Xia Jie, Concubine, Concubine Zhang Lihua of Southern Tang Dynasty, etc. So what kind of person is Zhang Lihua?

Portrait of Zhang Lihua

Like Zhang Xiaoxiao and others, she was born a geisha. She was born in poverty, and her father and brother made a living by weaving mats. Later, Zhang Lihua was chosen to be a maid in the palace. On one occasion, she was taken a fancy to by Chen Houzhu and was named the imperial concubine. She was born beautiful. And she has another advantage that others don't have, that is, her hair is said to be seven feet long, black and bright. Besides her eloquence, what's more important is that she never forgets anything. This made Chen Houzhu crazy about her. Even in court, Chen Houzhu had to hold Zhang Lihua back. Of course, all the ministers dare not make any noise.

Later, Zhang Lihua gave birth to a son for Chen Houzhu, and he was made a prince. Zhang Lihua's position is more stable, and Chen Houzhu is very kind to her. However, history is always surprisingly similar. Chen Houzhu lusted after Zhang Lihua's beauty, indulged in lewdness all day long, and didn't care about state affairs, and soon died. In 589 AD, the army invaded the capital Joy Chen, and it took more than 30 years for Chen Nan to be declared extinct. Zhang Lihua, like the ancient "Four Demons", could not escape the physical death of the country. Finally, Gao Jiong, the minister of long history, was beheaded on charges of "endangering the country and the people".

Zhang Lihua was also regarded as a femme fatale by later generations, believing that she bewitched Chen Houzhu, made Chen Houzhu abandon politics, and finally killed Chen Nan.

Zhang Lihua actor

People who watched historical TV plays in the late Southern and Northern Dynasties and the early Sui and Tang Dynasties must have a deep influence on the role of Zhang Lihua. Of course, Zhang Lihua in the play is played by modern actors, and the authenticity of his deeds is also different from that of Zhang Lihua in history. So what kind of person was Zhang Lihua in history? Who is her actor in the TV series?

Let's take a look at the real Zhang Lihua in history. She was born in a poor family. Later, Zhang Lihua was chosen to be a maid in the palace. Coincidentally, Chen, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, took a fancy to her and named her the imperial concubine. Zhang Lihua is beautiful, with hair longer than his height, good eloquence and amazing memory. So Chen Houzhu dotes on her in every way. Finally, Chen Houzhu lusted after Zhang Lihua's beauty, playing with her all day, regardless of state affairs, being invaded by the army and becoming the king of national subjugation.

At present, we are familiar with Zhang Lihua's Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties, Biography of Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong and so on. Here, let's take these TV series as examples. Let's take a look at Zhang Lihua, an actor in The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties. Her name is Choenyi Tsering, and she is Tibetan. After being breached, Chen Nan was killed by Li Yuan in the play. Of course, this is different from history. Historically, Gao Jiong was killed on the charge of being a femme fatale. Later, her sister, who looked exactly like her, entered the palace and became a noble princess. The purpose is to kill Yang Guang and avenge her.

Let's look at the heroine in Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties. Her name is Seo-hee Jang, and she is a Korean actress. He became famous when he was 10. Because of her sweet appearance, Zhang Lihua in the play is also impressive. Finally, let's look at Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong. In this TV series, Zhang Lihua is played by Han Dongdong. Because she has the temperament and charm of a classical woman, when she plays Zhang Lihua, the concubine of the harem, she is naturally vivid and insightful, and can be said to be a historical figure in Zhang Lihua.

Although Zhang Lihua was a figure in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, she once again lived in people's hearts because of the reappearance of these actors.

Lihua Chen

In the history of China, as the last ruler of a dynasty, the deepest impression left to later generations should be luxury and brutality. Such a king is often accompanied by a girl in distress. For example, Zhou Wang, the last monarch of the Shang Dynasty, was finally opposed by Zhou Wuwang and Ji Fa because he was partial to da ji. The Chen dynasty in the northern and southern dynasties also had such a king of national subjugation and a femme fatale. They are Chen and his imperial concubine Zhang Lihua.

It turns out that Zhang Lihua is just a geisha. Later, because she was favored by Chen, she became the queen after the imperial concubine. Zhang Lihua's greatest feature should be his seven-foot long black hair, which others can see, and his eyes are picturesque, his manners are dignified and luxurious, and his face is radiant. Not only that, she is also very smart, quick thinking and amazing memory. Legend has it that she can remember all the important events that happened at that time. At that time, the official's speech was preliminarily processed by two eunuchs, Cai Tuoer and Li Chenxiang. Sometimes even two eunuchs can't remember things, but Zhang Lihua can say it clearly without any mistakes. So Chen asked Zhang Lihua to handle state affairs with him. Later, he became anyone who committed a crime. As long as he intercedes for Zhang Lihua, no one can get away with it. At that time, if the minister of the DPRK did not listen to the imperial edict, Zhang Lihua would be reprimanded for saying a word. So people in Chen Dynasty only know Zhang Lihua, not Chen.

Chen was so lucky that he finally got the prize from Zhang Lihua. Sui Wendi Sui Wendi led an army to attack Jiankang, the capital of Chen Dynasty, and captured Chen in 589 AD. Zhang Lihua was also killed by Gao Jiong, the long history of Sui Dynasty.

How did Zhang Lihua die?

Those who study history carefully may find that history is always strikingly similar. Qin Ershi died in Megatron, Qin Shihuang roughly unified the six countries, and Qin Ershi was a fatuous and cruel national subjugation. The sui dynasty, which was unified in troubled times, also changed two emperors. Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty wisely unified the Southern Dynasties, while Yang Guangze was groggy and tyrannical. Here is another example. Isn't it the same with Chen Nan? Yes, two generations died in Kerwin Chen, and Chen Houzhu was destroyed by the Sui Dynasty, because it favored Zhang Lihua and ignored state affairs. So, how did the beloved Princess Zhang Lihua die?

This has to start with the army's health attack on the capital Joy Chen. The army of Sui Dynasty was very strong in Mazhuang, and it was not difficult to face a small country in this safe corner of Joy Chen. Plus, when Chen Nan and Zheng Chao spread to Chen Houzhu, Chen Houzhu and Zhang Lihua feasted all day, turning a blind eye to major events, and the army naturally slackened off. It can be said that the army entered the sheepfold like wolves, and Han Qinhu took the lead in leading the troops into health. At this point, Chen Houzhu with a genial smile that, can't help but take Zhang Lihua's rope to hide in a dry well in the palace, but ultimately did not find it. However, Han Qinhu didn't embarrass them. Yang Guifei came over and handed over Zhang Lihua and others for disposal.

Everyone knows that Yang Guang is lewd. At this time, he met Zhang Lihua as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade. He wanted to be his own princess in the palace, but Gao Jiong, who has a long history, stopped him. Gao Jiong is a red man in front of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. He has always been famous for his integrity, so Yang Guang dare not openly turn against Gao Jiong. Loyal ministers in all previous dynasties hated Zhang Lihua's concubines for making the monarch lose his country, and Gao Jiong was no exception, so he killed Zhang Lihua by Qingxi on the charge of "having a beautiful girl and making mistakes in his country".

Just like after Zhang Lihua's national subjugation, it is inevitable that his country will be beheaded and abused by future generations.
