The Mi Yue in the TV series is even worse than the historical prototype of the Empress Dowager Qin Xuan. She was in an unfair position, she was promiscuous in the court, she kept a male favorite privately, and she was rumored all her life, but she was a good queen mother because she did many things that the king of Qin wanted to do but failed to do.

1. Improper position Mi Yue, the Queen Mother of Qin Xuan in history, a native of Chu State, surnamed Mi, was the concubine of King Huiwen of Qin, and her rank was the eighth son (the status is queen, wife, beauty, good wife) (below the seven sons, above the chief envoy and the young envoy), so they are often called Mi Bazi. He gave birth to three princes to King Qin Huiwen, namely Ying Ji, Ying Fu, and Ying Cui. After the death of King Qin Huiwen, the throne was passed to his eldest son, King Qin Wu Yingdang. However, he never thought that the "infinitely powerful" King Qin Wu would be exhausted during a tripod lifting event and was crushed to death by the tripod.

King Wu of Qin, who had just ascended the throne for three years, did not leave any heirs and had no chance to appoint an heir before his death. Therefore, his mother Hui Wen later began to support King Hui Wen's eldest son Ying Zhuang for the throne, and Mi Bazi also stood up to support his son Ying Fu at this time. Just as the competition between the two sides was fierce, the powerful King Wuling of Zhao State and Mi Bazi proposed a new candidate, her eldest son Ying Ji, who was far away as a hostage in Yan State. Mi Bazi made a prompt decision and used the power of Zhao and the support of Qin's domestic forces to successfully push Ying Ji to the throne, while Empress Huiwen, Ying Zhuang and others were eliminated.

2. Fornication? Mi Bazi, who became the Queen Mother in the palace, left behind several romantic affairs. 1. Committed to King Yiqu Yiqu is a powerful country in the west of Qin State, and it has always been in a stage of love and murder with Qin State. When Ying Ji ascended the throne, King Yiqu came to court and met the still charming Empress Dowager Xuan. The man was affectionate and the concubine was interested, and then the two of them walked together, and King Yiqu no longer returned to his Yiqu. The two were together for 34 years, and Queen Mother Xuan also gave birth to two sons for King Yiqu.

2. Love in old age? Although Wei Choufu is named Choufu, in fact Wei Choufu is a very handsome man. The young and handsome Wei Choufu entered the world of Queen Mother Xuan after the death of King Yiqu and became her favorite. To what extent can you love? Even when she was dying, she hoped that Wei Choufu could be buried for him, and the two would go underground to form a new relationship. Later, someone reminded me that there was also King Huiwen underground, but it was still inconvenient, so Queen Mother Xuan gave up.

3. "Eternal quote" Empress Dowager Xuan once said something that is extremely open to this day during a diplomatic event with South Korea. At that time, South Korea was surrounded and beaten by the soldiers of King Huai of Chu, so South Korea thought of coming to Qin for help, but they forgot that the Queen Mother of Qin was a native of Chu. Empress Dowager Xuan told the Korean envoy: When I served King Huiwen, if the king pressed his thigh on me, I felt very tired and almost unbearable; but when he pressed his whole body on me, I felt so tired. It doesn't feel heavy, but feels more comfortable.

Qin State went to save South Korea, but it had insufficient troops and insufficient food and grass, so it could not save South Korea. What's more, saving South Korea, what benefit would it bring to our Qin State? ?Although Qin later sent troops to help South Korea, these words of Empress Dowager Xuan have been spread far longer than this war. Empress Dowager Xuan said to Shangzi: "I was the king before me. The king used his thighs to add weight to my body, and I was not tired. I put all my body on top of my concubine, but I couldn't bear the weight of my concubine. Why?" It is advantageous to have less. ?"Warring States Policy"

3. The First Empress Dowager If you simply look at the above content, Empress Dowager Xuan did even more than Qin Shihuang's mother Zhao Ji. However, the fact is that these are just Empress Dowager Xuan These are just some highlights in her life. Her contribution to Qin can even be compared with any king of Qin.

Her two greatest contributions to Qin:

1. Conquering Yiqu No matter what Empress Dowager Xuan’s considerations were, her commitment to Yiqu made Yiqu no longer harass Qin country, so that Qin can focus on the east. In 272 BC, after Empress Dowager Xuan had been with Yiqu for 34 years, King Yiqu was killed by Empress Dowager Xuan in Ganquan Palace. Subsequently, the Qin army went out to conquer Yiqu, successfully annihilated it, and established the three counties of Longxi, Beidi, and Shangjun. Since then, the border troubles of Yiqu have been completely eliminated. There is no need to worry about Yiqu sneak attacks when fighting in the east. This achievement alone has surpassed most Qin monarchs in the history of Qin.

2. Empress Dowager Xuan, who was in power in a powerful country, used the four nobles composed of her two younger brothers (Wei Ran and Mi Rong) and her two sons (Ying Xi and Ying Kui) to rule the Qin State for decades. Not only did the Qin State Instead of declining, it became stronger and stronger, laying a solid foundation for Qin to unify the six countries. Although King Zhaoxiang, the son of Queen Mother Xuan, lived in the shadow of his mother for a long time, his 56-year reign pushed Qin to unprecedented heights.

Shui Yan Shui Yu In Chinese history, the evaluation of a monarch comes more from his performance during his reign. As long as there is excellent political performance, some personal ethics are often not a big issue. For example, Empress Dowager Xuan, and another example is Tang Taizong Li Shimin. However, as a monarch who manages the country in a mess, not only will his personal ethics be on the pillar of shame, but he will also be inexplicably involved in many personal ethics incidents, such as Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, in the final analysis, to evaluate whether a monarch (a person in power) performs well or not, one still has to look at his political performance, which is his job.
