We all know that King You of Zhou is the prince of the Zhao Dynasty, but he does not know her desolate life

Being praised as "a smile pouring into the country" can be said to be a lifetime of desolation.

There is a well-known mythological story about her origin, which is recorded in the "Chinese" and "History".

Legend has it that at the end of the summer, two dragons flew to the court of the Xia Dynasty. The dragon spoke, "We are the two monarchs of the Kingdom of Praise. He no longer paid attention to people, and Lai did not leave in the Summer Court.

The ministers of the Xia Dynasty did not know how to deal with the two dragons, so they performed divination. The result was to leave the two dragons spit and ask them to leave.

The minister wrote a letter to the two dragons, and the dragon left spit and flew away. Xia Chaoren immediately sealed the dragon's spit with a box, believing that the dragon's spit had something extraordinary, and no one dared to open the box.

After the Xia and Shang dynasties, no one dared to open it, until King Li of Zhou wanted to open it and see. As soon as the box was opened, dragon saliva flowed all over the place, unable to be cleaned. Then the dragon saliva suddenly rolled up and turned into a giant turtle.

The giant turtle crawled toward the inner court and met a five- or six-year-old little palace girl. The little palace girl was mysteriously pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl. This baby girl is The Baby Girl.

After telling the mythological story, let's talk about the origin of the praise.

After King Zhou You ascended the throne, he was desolate and unreasonable. A minister named Shu Dai advised: "The princes despise the Zhou Dynasty, and Xi Rong wants to encroach on the Zhou Dynasty." As a monarch, you don't look for talents to assist you, but you only look for beautiful women. ”

King Zhou You was furious and expelled his uncle's family. After hearing this, the monarch of the Chu Kingdom interceded for his uncle. King Zhou You, who was once again enraged, trapped him in captivity.

Knowing that his father had been arrested, he was very anxious and tried his best to redeem his father. Someone said to the son of the concubine: "The monarch loves beautiful women, you might as well cater to the monarch and find beautiful women for the monarch, maybe as soon as the monarch is happy, he will release your father." ”

The son of The Concubine began to look for beautiful women throughout the country, and heard that the adopted daughter of a family was extremely beautiful, so he spent a lot of money to buy it. As an abandoned baby, she was raised by her adoptive parents and sold to someone else, and entered the palace to serve King Zhou You.

King Zhou You, also impressed by her beauty, smiled happily, and released her.

Later, King Zhou You was killed by Inuyasha, so he was abducted by Inuyasha and never knew whether he would live or die.

From beginning to end, she was just a "commodity" that was bought and sold, but she was saddled with the insult of red face and bad water.

There is a poem in the Book of Poetry that sings: Hehe Zong Zhou, praise and extinguish it.

However, if it is not said that the demise of the Zhou Dynasty is related to the praise of the concubines, she is at best a small leaf on the last straw that overwhelmed the camel, and the King of Zhou You is the straw.

Because the Zhou Dynasty has been weak for many generations, the princes have rebelled and have lived for a long time. By the end of the three generations was even more crumbling, the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty was already an inevitable result, the emergence of the Zhou Youwang only exacerbated the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the source was the old wounds left over from many generations.
