Who are the famous heartless people in ancient China?

First, Wu Qi was born during the Warring States Period. Wu Qi was from the state of Wei, and his wife was from the state of Qi. The king of Lu admired Wu Qi's military talents and wanted to make him a general, but he was worried that his wife was the daughter of an enemy country and Wu Qi would not be firm in his stance, so he always hesitated. In order to express his feelings and get the position he wanted, Wu Qi went so far as to kill his wife in a heartbroken manner. This is the famous story in history that Wu Qi killed his wife to seek general. Wu Qi was a famous general of his generation, well versed in strategy and had outstanding military exploits. He is famous enough and his behavior is extremely bad, so he ranks first.

Second, Liu An, a native of the Three Kingdoms period. Liu An was originally a hunter. One day, Liu Bei, his great hero, was defeated and accidentally stayed at his house during his escape. Because Liu An's family was extremely poor and it was a time of chaos, there was nothing he could do to entertain Liu Bei. He killed his wife and cooked it for the guests. The incident happened in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". This kid is the worst thing. He actually did such an outrageous thing in order to chase stars. He should have been ranked first, but considering his humble status and low reputation, he was ranked second.

Third, during the Warring States Period, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng. Zhao Sheng is the son of the Zhao Kingdom. In order to increase his power, he usually maintains a large group of retainers. One day, his little wife was upstairs and saw a hunchbacked and lame man passing downstairs. He looked funny and started laughing. Unexpectedly, the cripple thought he had been insulted, so he went straight to Zhao Sheng and asked to behead the beauty as apology. He was rejected at that time, and later there were fewer and fewer diners. After inquiring, we found out that it was related to the fact that the diners believed that he focused on sex over gentlemen in handling this matter. So Lord Pingyuan ordered the little wife to beheaded, and the number of customers increased again. This story was originally told as a beautiful story that downplays color and emphasizes justice. The impact was extremely bad, so in order to correct the situation, it was ranked third.

Fourth, Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty Li Longji. The relationship between him and Concubine Yang is almost regarded as a model of true love among emperors since ancient times. However, once a catastrophe came, in order to quell the mutiny and protect himself, he did not hesitate to hand over his beloved concubine to the rebels, performing a tragedy in which "the three armies could do nothing if they did not attack, and Wan'emei died on the horse". . Later, many literati wanted to excuse him by saying that things were helpless, and fabricated some sentimental love story about "eternal love will eventually end, and this hatred will last forever". However, the one-foot-long white silk wrapped around Yang Guifei's neck ruthlessly declared that Li Longi looks like an extremely selfish and heartless person. Because the story of Yang Li has been circulated for thousands of years and has a huge influence. At the same time, Yang Guifei's death was not Li's initiative after all. Comparing the two, he ranked fourth.

Fifth, Chen Shimei from the Song Dynasty is a character in the drama. Due to his typicality, the word Chen Shimei is almost synonymous with the heartless man in the hearts of the Chinese people. Bao Gong's play "The Case of the Guillotine" made the story between him and Qin Xianglian a household name, so there will be no more chatter here. The main reason why he is hated by the world is his universality. Throughout the ages, it has almost become a law that men become bad when they have money. Throughout the dynasties, Chen Shimei has never stopped, and it is still flourishing to this day. In a sense, Chen Shimei's betrayal of the family is in line with people's inner feelings and is not unforgivable. If he hadn't later become insane and desperate, and wanted to instruct others to kill his wife and children, his crime would not have led to death, and he would not have been qualified to be included in this ranking.

Sixth, Yuan Zhen from the Tang Dynasty. Yuan Zhen was a famous poet in the mid-Tang Dynasty, as famous as Bai Juyi. His "Once upon a time, the sea was difficult to overcome, except for Wushan, it was not cloud", which has been cited as a famous line about loyalty to love throughout the ages. But in reality, he is a libertine who plays with women and a heartless man who deceives women's feelings. When he was young and down in Shanxi, he deliberately tried to seduce "Cui Yingying", a girl from a good family, and then abandoned her after he got her. This experience is described in detail in his own "Yingying Biography". Wang Shifu of the Yuan Dynasty wrote "The Romance of the West Chamber" based on this, interpreting a tragedy that was originally about chaos and abandonment (compared to Cui Yingying) into a happy-reunion comedy in which "all lovers in the world get married", thereby creating a Chinese drama. The tradition of dramas with talents and beauties on the stage is in line with the public’s appreciation habits. Zhang Sheng's passion in "The Romance of the West Chamber" reflects Yuan Zhen's ruthlessness in life. In view of the influence of "The Romance of the West Chamber" based on Yuan Zhen's actual events, Yuan Zhen was ranked sixth.

Seventh, the Ming Dynasty Li Jia. What happened between Li Jia and Du Shiniang is another familiar story to Chinese people. It comes from the Ming Dynasty novel "Du Shiniang Sinks a Treasure Box in Anger". Li Jia, a down-and-out scholar, meets Du Shiniang, a popular prostitute. The two fall in love and pledge each other to each other. Du Shiniang thought she had met a confidant, so she resolutely left the brothel and returned to her hometown with Li Jia. Unexpectedly, Li Jia was still on the way, greedy for money, betrayed his oath, and sold Shiniang to a wealthy businessman privately, causing Shiniang to commit suicide in the river. Since ancient times, few prostitutes have had a happy ending. The hateful thing about Li Jia is that he is not only greedy for sex, but also greedy for money. He also betrayed too quickly, so he is ranked seventh.

Eighth, Liu Bei from the Three Kingdoms period. This great hero in Liu An's eyes, like his ancestor Liu Bang, always leaves his wife alone in times of crisis and just runs for his own life. Moreover, his famous saying: "Brothers are like brothers and sisters, wives are like clothes" has been widely circulated for thousands of years. If he is not included, it will not be enough to quell the anger of women. Therefore, let him condescend to take the last position here.
