Evonne is a beautiful woman with multiple identities. She is the mother of Qin Shihuang, the queen of Wang Xiang in Qin Zhuang, her beloved concubine and Lao Ai's lover.
Her life has been intertwined with four men, and her son loves and hates her. Maybe her lover only values interests, but the man who really loved her has long since died. What kind of person is Evonne?
First of all, Evonne is a beautiful woman. Sima Qian said that she was "good at dancing" in Historical Records, and Sima Guang said that she was "beautiful" in Zi Tong Zhi Jian.
Zhao Ji was bought as a concubine by Lv Buwei for her outstanding beauty. He bet his treasure on the proton aliens of Qin State. This alien is the grandson of the king of Qin. At that time, there was a war between Qin and Zhao, and it was necessary to exchange governors as hostages. Ann, the alien's father, didn't like him and sent him to Zhao as a proton without hesitation. Far away in a foreign country, he doesn't even have any chariots, horses and daily necessities. He is embarrassed and lost.
But Lv Buwei thinks that strangers can also make strange goods. In order to please strangers, Lv Buwei called his favorite Evonne to sing and dance. I couldn't keep my eyes open when I saw the unusually beautiful Evonne. Lv Buwei saw that different people liked it, so he gave Evonne to different people.
In addition to sending women and articles, he also invested huge sums of money to help him manage all kinds of relations in the state of Qin, so that Ann, who didn't like making friends, had to choose him as his heir under the pressure of all parties.
From then on, Evonne became a stranger. After October, or maybe twelve months later, Zhao Ji gave birth to the first emperor, which means that Evonne is indeed the biological mother of Qin Shihuang, but his biological father will always be a mystery.
He successfully acceded to the throne as King Zhuangxiang, appointed Lv Buwei as Prime Minister, sealed his heart, and catered to 100,000 households in Luoyang. Evonne is the queen and Ying Zheng is the prince.
I have only been king for three years. Thirteen-year-old Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne, and Zhao Ji became the Empress Dowager. At this time, Evonne is Ying Zheng's mother, and she relies on love.
Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, was a minor, and the power of Qin was controlled by Lv Buwei and Evonne. A pawn of Zhao Ji's, he became a partner in running the state of Qin with him.
Second, Evonne was dissolute by nature, and it was recorded in Historical Records that "the Empress Dowager was addicted to prostitution".
Zhao Ji, in his thirties, became the Queen Mother, and Lv Buwei presided over the state affairs. She often meets with Evonne to discuss state affairs. One to two, the two fell in love again and got together again.
However, Lv Buwei is busy with government affairs, so he can't just go in and out of the palace. Moreover, Ying Zheng is old and sensible. If he finds out about his affair with Evonne, it will be terrible. Besides, Lv Buwei is getting older and older.
In order to avoid disaster, Lv Buwei decided to support the Queen Mother Evonne and the young King Ying Zheng as always in state affairs, and resolutely cut off the lover relationship with the Queen Mother in life. He thought of a way to kill two birds with one stone and found a body double to replace himself. The man he is looking for is Lao Ai, a big Yin man.
Lv Buwei first tried to convict Lao Ai, then bribed the officials who presided over the punishment, just plucked Lao Ai's beard and sent him to the palace as a eunuch. According to historical records, the old love queen mother is "loveless" and dotes on her very much. Evonne was immersed in love with Ai and soon got pregnant.
In order to hide the truth from others, Evonne took Laoyi to live in Yongcheng, far away from Xianyang, on the grounds of physical discomfort. The quiet environment and unique architecture here are a very suitable place for derailment.
They were inseparable, lived a carefree life like heaven and gave birth to two sons in succession.
With the connivance of Empress Dowager Cixi, Lao Ai can use the palaces, chariots and horses, costumes, gardens and hunting grounds of the Qin royal family at will. The queen mother even gave him a fief. Before long, Lao Ai had the strength to compete with Prime Minister Lv Buwei.
This year is the ninth year of the reign of the King of Qin, that is, in 238 BC, Ying Zheng was 2 1 year old and was about to regain power and start leading the government. So he sent someone to investigate, and many people denounced Lao Ai's adultery with the Queen Mother, and he knew it.
If any courtier dares to remonstrate on this matter, kill him! To this end, Qin Shihuang killed 27 ministers in a row, which shows that he has resented his mother to the extreme. His mother wanted to help Lao Ai usurp the throne, which broke Qin Shihuang's heart and was the last straw.
In order to consolidate his power, Ying Zheng conveniently removed Lv Buwei from his post and exiled him to the hinterland of Sichuan. Desperate Lv Buwei was forced to commit suicide. Evonne was imprisoned in a deep palace and died of depression a few years later.
Third, she is a very good female politician.
No matter how Evonne and Lv Buwei fool around with Lao Ai, no matter how Lv Buwei and Lao Ai monopolize power, Evonne can grasp the correct political direction and decision.
During the nearly ten years from Evonne's coming to power to Ying Zheng's personal rule, the entire Daqin Empire did not go into turmoil and decline. But in the process of resisting foreign enemies and developing national strength, Qin became rich and strong, and made full preparations for Ying Zheng's reunification of the country.
In a sense, Evonne has played an important role in unifying the world.
Fourthly, Evonne is also a very excellent enlightenment educator.
When Ying Zheng was three years old, his father left them and ran away. During Ying Zheng's wandering life, his first education was completed by his mother, which was of great significance to him.
Ying Zheng could endure dormancy when he was young, but he didn't send it when he was excluded, but he could calmly deal with it when Lao Ai rebelled. Apart from his own political talent, this is inseparable from Evonne's education since childhood. Evonne is such an outstanding woman whose beauty and wisdom coexist.
Summary: Throughout Evonne's life, she just pursued love like a moth, and she didn't want to undertake any mission, let alone be used as a tool. Even if this love is more mixed with lust, she only listens to Lv Buwei's arrangement from beginning to end. The ambitious businessman sacrificed her happiness again and again for his big plan and pushed her into the fire pit again and again.
