Why is Chen Yuanyuan a femme fatale?

Sorrow for the six armies, all white liver, anger is the crown is beautiful. " This is a poem in Wu Meicun's long poem "Garden Song" in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, which rebukes Wu Sangui for leading the Qing soldiers into the customs regardless of the national justice. What's so remarkable about Chen Yuanyuan, who was born in poverty and descended into the dusty world? It can be entangled with Emperor Chongzhen, Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng in the Ming Dynasty, making Wu Sangui "angry at winning the championship" and leading the Qing soldiers into the customs? Is she really a femme fatale? Chen Yuanyuan, a native of Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, was born at the end of tomorrow's apocalypse (about 1627). The original surname is Xing, and his parents died young, so he was adopted by his aunt. His uncle's surname is Chen, so his surname is Chen, and his name is Yuan. Because of his poor family, Chen Yuanyuan was sold into an art gallery by his uncle when he was a teenager. He acted as a "Yufeng geisha" and studied singing, dancing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the teaching workshop. Because of his talent and beauty, after several years, he was "excellent in color and art" and sang "soft and tactfully, like a crow", and he was able to write his own songs, such as Afternoon Poetry and Lotus Cup. Therefore, Jiangnan, which became manic for a time, dumped countless princes and grandchildren, and once had a fruitless relationship with Jiangnan people. At the end of the Ming dynasty, not only at home and abroad, but also in the harem. Tian Fei's father, Tian Wan, worried that his daughter would fall out of favor in front of Chongzhen, planned to find a stunning beauty with both talents and looks to be sent to the emperor, for one thing, to protect her daughter, and for another, not to lose her uncle's position. In the autumn of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen (164 1), Tian Tian returned to Suzhou and visited Chen Yuanyuan, who was in his twenties and eighties and was excellent in singing, dancing, poetry and painting. The following spring, Chen Yuanyuan, who was redeemed, went to Beijing with Tian Wan and was adopted by Tian Guojiu. After some training, Chen Yuanyuan was introduced to the palace by Tian Fei. But at this time, Emperor Chongzhen was preoccupied with state affairs and had no time to care about beauty. Chen Yuanyuan lingered in the palace for two or three months, but he couldn't throw himself into the emperor's arms and had to go home. After returning to Tianfu, she worked as a singer and dancer in a song and dance class. At that time, the situation in the Ming court was extremely grim. Li Zicheng matched the capital, and the Qing soldiers were eyeing up in the northeast. At a critical juncture, the court issued a letter to Wu Sangui, the company commander of Shanhaiguan, to guard the first pass in the world, and also jointly enabled his dismissed father Wu Xiang to be the prefect of Beijing Camp, while Wu Jiaquan was in the ruling and opposition. Before Wu Sangui took office, the dignitaries in Beijing held a farewell dinner for him. The prince's maternal uncle Tianwan did not lag behind, and gave a banquet in his mansion to entertain General Wu Bing. During the dinner, Chen Yuanyuan danced, sang and danced beautifully, and the countryside was beautiful. Chen Yuanyuan's charm charmed Wu Sangui. Before the end of the banquet, Wu Sangui whispered to Yi Tian, "If you send me a round, I will protect your house in wartime." Tianwan readily agreed. The next day, Wu Sangui sent someone to ask for relatives and friends in Tianfu, and Tianfu took Chen Yuanyuan to send the rich dowry to Wu Fu on the same day. The border war is imminent. After Wu Sangui held a concubinage ceremony, he hurried to Shanhaiguan the next day. Soon, Li Zicheng attacked Beijing and established the Dashun Dynasty. Chen Yuanyuan stayed in Beijing and was taken as a concubine by Liu Zongmin, the general of Chu Zhuangwang. At the same time, Li Zicheng threatened Wu Xiang, who had become a prisoner, to write a surrender letter to his son. According to unofficial history's records, after receiving the letter, Wu Sangui had intended to surrender to Li Zicheng. Hearing that Chen Yuanyuan had been captured by the king's department, he immediately flew into a rage and drew his sword and vowed to take revenge. Then the oath of Wu Sangui took place, inviting the Qing soldiers to enter the customs to avenge him. Prince Dourgen of Switzerland entered Shanhaiguan and fought against Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng was defeated, followed by the Qing army. Seeing that the tide was gone, Li Chuangwang had to take the gold and silver treasures plundered in Beijing and flee to the west in a hurry. But Chen Yuanyuan was left in Beijing. Wu Sangui has been chasing Jiangzhou, Shanxi, when someone reported from the capital that Chen Yuanyuan was found in the sky and Wu Sangui was in the capital. He immediately quit in Jiangzhou, set up a colorful building in front of the camp, lined up for three miles, and greeted Chen Yuanyuan personally in military uniform from the capital. At this time, Dourgen also welcomed Shunzhi from the northeast in Beijing, and officially entered the customs to establish the Qing court. Because of Wu Sangui's active defection, the Qing court named him King of the Day and rewarded him with two thousand pieces of silver. In this way, Wu Sangui's original intention of seeking revenge from the Qing soldiers was completely changed, and he became a national traitor who delayed the enemy. In the 18th year of Shunzhi (1662), Wu Sangui led troops to take back the Nanming Emperor Li Yong from Myanmar. Chen Yuanyuan thought it was a good opportunity to fight against the Qing Dynasty and regain sight, and urged Wu Sangui to make Li Yong emperor and attack the Qing court. However, Wu Sangui didn't want to give up his power and strangled the emperor Li Yong, which was a great disappointment. At the same time, Wu Sangui chose many young concubines from Suzhou and Hangzhou for his enjoyment after the separatist regime in Yunnan. From then on, Chen Yuanyuan was disheartened, so he took off his gorgeous clothes and robes and walked into a clean temple, keeping company with Deng Qing's ancient scriptures day and night. Before Wu Sangui rose up against Kangxi's policy of cutting vassals, Chen Yuanyuan wrote to dissuade Wu Sangui. The letter said: "When the Manchu entered the customs, the king had an opportunity. My concubine advised the king to pursue Hu Zili, but the king abandoned him. Before Wang Yu entered Yunnan, he had a favorable geographical position. My concubine asked Mingsi to restore the old country, and sent her to Jingxiang and even the whole world to cooperate, but she was bought by the king. Dourgen ravaged the people and slaughtered the Han nationality. The people were angry and someone could rely on them. My concubine once advised the king to choose a clear heir for the big event, but he suddenly ignored it. Today, I want to be a tiger in the north and a wolf in the north. I am willing to win or lose, which will cause serious harm to my children and grandchildren. " Wu Sangui still ignored this insightful letter. In the 19th year of Kangxi (168 1), the Qing army invaded Kunming. Some people say that Chen Yuanyuan died in the lotus pond in the north of the city, while others say that Chen Yuanyuan took advantage of the chaos and disappeared. There are not many comments on Chen Yuanyuan in history. Dachuan and Wu Sangui are linked together, belonging to the category of femme fatale and America laguna. In fact, a weak woman who has fallen has no ability to control her own destiny, let alone change history. Falling in love with this country is not her fault. It is really people's prejudice and misunderstanding to impose the historical responsibility of beauty's mistake and disaster on a weak woman who can't control her own destiny.
