Since ancient times, there has been a lot of life, and in the feudal era when people enslaved people, a woman who was beautiful would attract a lot of disasters. In the so-called peace of the world, they became the object of the pursuit of the sons and brothers, especially when the war was in chaos, and the fate of young women was even more precarious.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Great Wall north of the Yellow River was in trouble, and the continuous war pushed people into the abyss of pain. Chen Yuanyuan was used as a plaything by local playboys for their amusement, and unfortunately, she was robbed twice in Suzhou. Once in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Dou Huohao's family tried to rob her, and she hid elsewhere so that she was able to escape. Once again, it was the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and it was robbed, and the predator was Tian Hongyu, a wealthy family.

This year, Tian Hongyu carried thousands of people to the South China Sea to incense, and the places he passed along the way were either robbed or grabbed. also robbed beautiful women, as long as they heard that they were a little beautiful, no matter what kind of woman they were, they would definitely do everything possible to get their hands on them, and even rob them violently. The magistrates were afraid of his power, and no one dared to inquire about him.

Tian Hongyu passed through Suzhou and sent his henchmen and minions to search for beauties everywhere. When Chen Yuanyuan heard the news, he hid again, and the local people gathered thousands of people to come out to protect her, but Tian Hongyu threatened with power and bribed her at any cost. The local officials were afraid of offending this powerful man and being retaliated against by him, so they handed over Chen Yuanyuan.

When Tian Hongyu asked for her, he paid a high price of 2,000 gold and paid the money to Chen Yuanyuan's mother, which brought Chen Yuanyuan to Beijing. was plundered at the same time as Chen Yuanyuan, as well as famous prostitutes Gu Shou, Yang Wan and others. Tian Hongyu brought Chen Yuanyuan into the palace and prepared to dedicate it to Chongzhen, Chongzhen was anxious about state affairs and had no intention of caring for him, so Tian Hongyu led Chen Yuanyuan to his mansion and became his favorite courtesan. It is to return to Yongxiang's closed home, and teach the new voice to sit down.

Tian Hong was captured and plundered by singing and dancing women, and even bribed them at high prices, in order to use beautiful women to please Chongzhen and consolidate his power and status. Chongzhen originally favored Concubine Tian very much, but other powerful people, the eunuch Cao Huachun, plundered many beauties from the south for Chongzhen to have fun. Chongzhen was fascinated by the beauty for a while, and was very pampered, and he didn't see Concubine Tian for a month. Concubine Tian was jealous, Tian Hong saw his daughter fall out of favor, and also took the opportunity of incense to plunder the beauties in order to win Chongzhen's favor. Unexpectedly, Chongzhen did not take him in, which made Tian Hongyu very disappointed.

In this way, Chen Yuanyuan settled in Tian Hongyu's house, sang and danced for him, and entertained him. In order to make friends with Wu Sangui, Tian Hongyu asked Chen Yuanyuan to come forward, sing and dance lightly, and accompany Wu Sangui to drink, trying his best to make him happy. He had already noticed that Wu Sangui was staring at Yuanyuan, and he had already understood a little in his heart, and between the conversations, Wu Sangui had already revealed his love for Chen Yuanyuan.

Tian Hongyu thought to himself that he was already old, so it was better to give Chen Yuanyuan to Wu Sangui today, in order to do his best. Thinking of this, Tian Hongyu gave it generously to Yuanyuan. Wu Sangui was overjoyed, Chen Yuanyuan was the reincarnation of the woman he loved the most, and he naturally loved her in his heart. It is his life's wish to get such a beauty, a peerless beauty. With the woman he loves, he can't help but be overjoyed in order to fulfill this wish.

However, Wu Sangui didn't want to ask for it in vain, so he took out a thousand gold from Chongzhen's reward and paid it to Tian Hongyu. As for Chen Yuanyuan, there is no need to ask, she is also very willing. Because how can it be more desirable to live with an old man than with a young and promising general?

Wu Sangui's home was not in Beijing, so he couldn't marry for a while, and it was inconvenient to take him to the outside of the beacon gate, so he temporarily lived in Tian Hongyu's house. Since Tian Hongyu has agreed, he just waits for Wu Sangui to marry her with a richly decorated oil-walled car.

There is a passage in "Yuanyuanqu", which vividly expresses the difference between him and Yuanyuan and Yuanyuan's ardent expectations: "Fair-skinned has waited for the least number of years, and has repeatedly reviewed the selection of flowers and branches. Take the delicate bird out of the cage early, and wait for the galaxy for a while? ”

"Wu Sangui, who has a fair face, is young and handsome, and has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, he got me like a flower and jade, and he frequently reviewed and was full of infinite attachment. I hope that he will soon release me, a delicate bird in a cage, so that we can meet and live together like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl when we meet? ”

Wu Sangui was stunned and looked at her suddenly, only to see her cardamom years, floating like a fairy; clouds and temples piled up, like light smoke and dense fog; flying gold qiaojiao, phoenix hairpin half-unloaded, earrings like rainbows, wearing white lotus silk on thin and soft clothes, wearing a purple and emerald skirt, revealing a red mandarin duck and phoenix beak double hook under her feet, lotus steps move lightly, swaying.

Chen Yuanyuan stood in front of the class of bead show dancers, plucked the strings, and played a song "Zhaojun's Resentment" that expressed his resentment. After listening to Chen Yuanyuan's singing, Wu Sangui didn't feel his heart fluttering, and he said to Tian Hongyu: "Guozhang, this Chen Yuanyuan can really be called a smile and a smile." ”

Tian Hongyu didn't know how to answer, Wei Zaode whispered to Tian Hongyu from the side: "It's up to now, why don't you be a favor, not to mention that no matter how good things are, once the jade is burned, it will not be able to be closed and kept." We're in a hurry, so let's make a beauty plan. ”

Tian Hongyu had no choice but to ask Chen Yuanyuan to toast, Chen Yuanyuan moved to Wu Sangui's seat, and Wu Zongbing took the opportunity to ask in a low voice: "You are here, you must be very happy to come, right?"

Chen Yuanyuan replied in a low voice: "A courtesan like the Red Whisk Girl still doesn't like Yang Su, the Duke of Yue Guo of the Sui Dynasty, and fled to Li Jing, not to mention guarding a person like me who is not as good as Yang Su? Wu Sangui nodded frequently when he heard this, and smiled knowingly.

Just when Wu Sangui was having fun, the Shanhaiguan border affairs were tight, and the servants submitted a report to the palace, on which only nine big characters were written: "Daizhou was lost, and Zhou Yuji was killed." Although Wu Sangui was very infatuated with Chen Yuanyuan, he was forced to leave his seat abruptly due to the military order.

Before leaving, Tian Hongyu sighed and asked Wu Sangui: "I am a person who is about to die, once Li Zicheng enters Beijing, what do you think of the general?"

Wu Sangui took the opportunity to get straight to the point and said: "If the national ruler is willing to give Chen Yuanyuan as a gift, then my reward for your gift will be more important than the return to the country, and I will definitely protect Tianfu before protecting the country." ”

Tian Hongyu said: "I am already old, and I should give it to him after I pass away." ”

When Wu Sangui heard this, he immediately straightened his face and showed a displeased look. Tian Hongyu no longer dared to shirk, so he had to cut his love, and immediately sent someone to escort Chen Yuanyuan to the General Soldier's Mansion.

If Chen Yuanyuan was really left behind that day, would he be able to make Chongzhen happy? No matter what, Li Zicheng would eventually come in, but Chen Yuanyuan might not be able to meet Wu Sangui.

It was when Chen Yuanyuan was frustrated by Chongzhen's rejection that Wu Sangui appeared, Chen Yuanyuan moved the lotus step slightly, came out lightly, and bowed deeply to Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui raised his hand to give way, but he turned around to look at the circle, but when he saw that he was born, his eyes were like autumn water, and his eyebrows were like spring mountains. The face is not fat and the peach blossoms fly, and the waist is not bent and the willows dance. The coiled dragon bun is good, lined with the fragrance of rain and sideburns, and the geese are delicate, throwing the charm of the half day. The clothes are fluttering, the fragrant wind is pleasant, the skirt is lightly dragging, and the sound is tinkling into the rhyme. Hanging down the pink neck, the shy posture is fluttering, the lips are open at first glance, and the delicate voice is dripping. If it weren't for the Luoshui Nymph descending, it would be doubtful that the Wushan Goddess would return.

Since then, Wu Sangui has been like losing his soul, and he ran to Tianfu twice in three days, which made Tian Hongyu annoyed. Wu Sangui finally explained his intention to Tian Hongyu, and offered a heavy gift, begging bitterly, Tian Hongyu didn't want to offend this righteous red border general, and promised generously: "As long as Chen Yuanyuan also has this intention, the old man still has the beauty of an adult." ”

Unexpectedly, Chen Yuanyuan agreed, and in turn persuaded Tian Hongyu to use this to tie up Wu Sangui, the pillar of the country. Tian Hongyu did pity Chen Yuanyuan, but thinking that he was in his last years, it was not her long-lasting dependence, so it was better to let go and let her go to find a good place.

In the general military mansion, the family was busy, preparing the squad to be stationed in Shanhaiguan, but there were drums and qin songs in the inner hall study, and Wu Sangui couldn't wait for Chen Yuanyuan to sing and entertain.

Chongzhen issued several hand-written instructions in a row, urging Wu Sangui to go to his post at night and return to Shanhaiguan as soon as possible. Wu Sangui originally insisted on taking Chen Yuanyuan with him, but he was worried that he would delay the military plane, so he left Chen Yuanyuan at Tian Hongyu's house. Before leaving, Wu Sangui was busy and asked Chen Yuanyuan to play and sing a song, which was better than nothing.

Soon after Wu Sangui went to Shanhaiguan, on March 19, the 17th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng personally led the Dashun army to attack the city of Beijing, and Chongzhen hanged himself in the coal mountain.
