As we all know, there were four beautiful women in ancient Chinese history, all of whom were stunning beauties who fell into the country. These four people enjoy the reputation of "the appearance of sinking fish and falling geese, and the appearance of closed moon and shy flowers", namely Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Marten Cicada and Yang Yuhuan. These four beauties are not only known to women and children on the mainland, but also enjoy a certain reputation in the world. Among them, Xi Shi is the first of the four beauties, and her deeds are also praised by posterity.
At the time of national difficulties, Xi Shi endured humiliation and burdens and saved the country with his own body. And the "four demons" introduced by the editor today are not inferior to the four beauties in terms of appearance, but the only difference is that although these "four demons" are as beautiful as flowers, each of them has buried a dynasty!
The first is the queen sister xi of xia jie, the last monarch of the Xia Dynasty, who was born a beautiful heavenly immortal, and there is a poem that testifies: "There is Shi Yuxi, and her eyebrows are clear." Makeup and colored clothes, Yuanna feixi. Crystal rain and dew, human pity. It is said that the allusion to the red face and the water is from her. Before meeting her, Xia Jie was still a good monarch who was determined to stabilize the country, but since meeting her, Xia Jie seemed to have changed into a person, becoming absurd, enjoying only the pleasure of the wine pond meat forest all day long, and had no time to take care of the government. After a long time, Shang Tang marched to destroy the Xia Dynasty.
The second is Daji, also known as Su Daji, who is a member of the Su tribe. The record of her is already a household name and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. According to the Zuo Biography, in 1047 BC, the King of Shang launched a large army to attack the Yousu tribe. Some Su tribes could not resist the attack of powerful merchant armies, and between destruction and bending their knees, some Su tribal leaders chose to bend their knees and sacrifice cattle and sheep, horses and beautiful women. In other words, Dai Ji was only a victim of a war, and her tribe, in order to avoid suffering, sacrificed the young and beautiful Daji to the dying old man in his sixties.
In the novel "Fengshen Yanyi", Dai Ji is rendered as a thousand-year-old fox spirit, using his human body to become a snake and scorpion beauty, which is the key figure that led to the demise of the Shang Dynasty. After getting her, in order to win her favor, the King of Lu first sent someone to collect the world's rare treasures and put them in the deer platform for drinking and entertainment. The second was to instigate the king to kill the loyal minister Bigan and cut off his abdomen, and his deeds were heinous. Under the charm of Dai Ji, the King of Sui also made some decisions that were unfavorable to the country, which eventually led to the demise of the Shang Dynasty.
The third was King Zhou You's concubine, who was the biological mother of Crown Prince Ji Bofu. In 779 BC, King Xingbing of Zhou You defeated the State of Chu, and in order to avoid the extinction of the country, the State of Chu sacrificed the Kingdom of Praise and surrendered. After King Zhou You received praise, he was very fond of her. And this lady did not like to laugh, and in order to win the laughter of the beauties, the King of Zhou You staged a great drama of the princes of the Beacon Theatre. The general meaning is that king Zhou You lit a beacon at the beacon tower, and the princes thought that it was a foreign invasion, so they led their troops to the rescue.
Just after the princes arrived, they found that there was no enemy at all, but the King of Zhou You was amusing them, and its purpose was to win the beauty to laugh. And King Zhou You's move also obviously achieved its purpose, and when she saw the panicked look of the princes, she really laughed. Although the beauty smiled, but the hearts of the princes were cold, after lighting the beacon many times, the princes no longer believed in the King of Zhou You, so that when the enemy really invaded, none of the princes sent troops to save each other, and finally the country was destroyed. The "Chronicle of History" records: "Zhou Zhixing also used Jiang Yuan and Da Ren, and the bird of the Youwang was also obscene. Therefore, Yi Ji Qiankun, the poems begin to close the ju, the book beauty descends, and the Spring and Autumn sneer is not greeted.
The fourth is Li Ji, also known as Li Ji, the daughter of the Li Rong monarch and the favorite concubine of the Duke of Jin. Although she is beautiful and beautiful, Jin Xiangong is also very fond of her, but this person is sinister and cunning, and her heart is too dark. In order to achieve her own goals, she made Ji split the feelings of Jin Xiangong and her two sons, Shen Sheng and Zhong'er. In the end, in order to make her son the prince, she secretly slandered the prince Shensheng and framed another prince. Eventually, with her persecution, Crown Prince Shensheng was forced to die, and Gongzi fled with heavy ears. After this, The Duke of Jin was gradually confused by Li Jisuo, which eventually led to the corruption of the government.
As the saying goes, if there is no absurd monarch with a red face and a bad face, how can there be a concubine who harms the government and the opposition? Whether it is Xia Zhixi, Shang Zhi Daji, or Zhou Zhiyi and Jin Zhili Ji, these four demons are typical examples of a generation of red faces and water disasters. They are all deeply loved by the king, so that the king of a country in order to win their laughter, without asking about the government, love the beauty and do not love the country, and finally end up with the end of a country, it is really sad and lamentable!
