Chapter 12: The Fierce Woman Meng Jiang
In fact, the first time I learned about Meng Jiangnu was in TV episodes, and later I watched many legendary books about Meng Jiangnu, which are divided into many versions, each of which is slightly different. The characters www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ pavilion and the characteristics at that time are not very distinct, and my comments today only represent personal views.
Later, I read a book, and the introduction was about the Qin Dynasty at the end of the Warring States Period, there were two families surnamed Meng and Jiang, and the relationship between the two households was like a family. Later, the two families planted a melon together, and after the melon was ripe, it was cut and seen, and there was a white and fat little girl in it, so everyone named her Meng Jiang. After Meng Jiang grew up, everyone knew that she was a lively, smart and clever girl, and could play the piano, compose poems, and write articles. The old couple regarded her as the pearl of their palms. At this time, Qin Shi Huang began to build the Great Wall everywhere. A scholar named Fan Xiliang ran out of the house in fright. When he ran with a dry mouth, he was just about to rest and find some water to drink, but he heard the sound of people shouting and barking. It turned out that there was also a catch, and he didn't have time to run, so he jumped over a nearby wall. It turned out that inside this wall was the back garden of the Meng family. At this time, it happened to be just in time for Meng Jiangnu to follow Yahuan out to visit the garden. Meng Jiangnu coldly saw a person hidden under the loofah shelf, she and Yahuan just shouted, Fan Xiliang hurriedly got out, stepped forward and bowed and said, "Miss, Miss, don't shout, don't shout, I'm on the run, save my life!" Meng Jiangnu looked at it, "Fan Xiliang is a white-faced scholar, very handsome, so he went back with Yahuan to report outside." The old man interrogated Fan Xiliang's hometown residence in the back garden, what his surname was, and why he jumped over the wall and was admitted to the hospital. Fan Xiliang gave an oral answer. Seeing that he was very honest and knowledgeable, he agreed to hide him at home for the time being. Fan Xiliang hid in Meng's house for a few days, and the old couple saw that he was a talented person and behaved generously, so they discussed recruiting him as a son-in-law. I discussed it with my daughter, and my daughter agreed. mentioned it to Fan Xiliang, and Fan Gongzi was also willing, and this family affair was decided. The old couple discussed, chose an auspicious day, and invited relatives and friends. Two tables of banquets were set up, and after a day of joy, the two of them went to the church and got married. There is a saying: "People have good and bad luck, and the sky has unpredictable storms and clouds." Less than three days after the two got married, a group of officials suddenly broke in, and without any room to say, they took Fan Gongzi away in a stiff manner! This time it was obviously a lot of bad luck, and Meng Jiangnu cried and looked forward to it all day long! But after looking forward to it for a year, not only did no one look forward to it, but also Xin'er did not look forward to it. Yu Jiang Nu was really relieved, so she rushed to make winter clothes for her husband for several nights, and went to the Great Wall to find her husband in person. Meng Jiangnu packed up, said goodbye to the second elder and embarked on the trip, Meng Jiangnu kept running north, passing through mountains and waters. I packed up, said goodbye to the second elder, and embarked on a journey to find a husband. When you are hungry, you will eat cold food, if you are thirsty, you will drink cold water, and when you are tired, you will sit on the side of the road and rest your feet. Meng Jiangnu thought to herself: "Even if the Great Wall is far away in the sky, I will also go to the edge of the sky to find my husband!" Finally came to the foot of the Great Wall, Meng Jiangnu ran to the construction site of Xiu Changcheng alone, and searched there for several days but did not find Fan Xiliang. Later, a group of migrant workers hurriedly asked, "Do you have a man named Fan Xiliang here?" and the group said, "There is such a person, a new man." Meng Jiangnu said, "Where is he?" and one person said, "I haven't seen him for the past few days, maybe he's dead." Meng Jiangnu was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the corpse?" The man said, "Cough, who cares about the corpse, the foot of the city has already been filled!" Meng Jiangnu was sad for a while, and she burst into tears. As he was crying, he heard a commotion when a section of the Great Wall fell, revealing Fan Xiliang's body. Meng Jiangnu hugged the corpse, cried until the sky was dark, and died and came back to life. While she was crying, a group of government servants came, and she couldn't be said, so they tied her up and gave her to the county magistrate. As soon as the county official saw that Meng Jiangnu was good-looking, he took the opportunity to pat the emperor's ass and gave it to Qin Shi Huang. The first emperor was very happy when he saw that Meng Jiangnu was a stunning beauty and wanted to make her a concubine. But Meng Jiangnu did not submit to Qin Shi Huang when she died. In the end, Meng Jiang had no choice but to say, "From but from it, but you have to promise me three things." Qin Shi Huang said: "As long as you are willing to obey me, let alone three things, even thirty things, I can promise you." Meng Jiangnu said: "First of all, please ask the high monks to build a colorful shed, and recite the 7749 Heavenly Sutra for my husband to surpass his soul." In order to be able to get Meng Jiangnu, Qin Shi Huang thought for a while and said, "Okay, I should do this for you." Meng Jiangnu said, "The second thing is that you should wear linen and filial piety, kneel down in front of my husband's spirit, and call him three times." Qin Shi Huang hesitated this time, how could I, as a human lord, do such a thing that would damage the prestige of the king? So he said: "This one will not work, and I will talk about the third one." Meng Jiangnu said: "You can't do this one, so what is the third thing!" Qin Shi Huang had no choice, but he was so fascinated that he couldn't give up. He gritted his teeth, his heart was crossed, and he said desperately: "Okay, I promise the second one, and you can say the third one." Meng Jiangnu said: "Third, you have to accompany me to swim in the sea for three days, and after three days, you can get married." Qin Shi Huang thought, this one is easy. "Okay, I'll rely on you for all three things. So Qin Shi Huang instructed to invite high monks to build a large color shed and prepare filial piety clothes. Everything is ready, Qin Shi Huang really wore linen and filial piety, and gave people a filial piety. The first two things are done, and the next thing is to swim in the sea. Meng Jiangnu said to Qin Shi Huang: "Let's go to the sea together, and swim to get married." Qin Shi Huang was really happy, so he asked someone to carry two colorful sedan chairs and came to the beach with Meng Jiangnu. Meng Jiangnu got out of the sedan chair, walked a few steps, pushed Qin Shi Huang away, and jumped into the sea with a thud. When Qin Shi Huang saw it, he hurriedly shouted: "Someone! Someone!" But before the words were finished, Meng Jiangnu had already sunk to the bottom. Qin Shi Huang had no choice but to pick up the mountain whip and drive stones into the sea, intending to use the stones to smash Meng Jiangnu to death at the bottom of the sea.
This is true in most versions, but I have read the biography of the First Emperor, and I personally disagree. Zhao Ji, the mother of the first emperor, was born, and was later sent by Lü Buwei to the other person, that is, the later King of Qin, after the other person got Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji planned day and night, and did not feel that more than eight months, Zhao Ji gave birth to a son, named Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng is the first emperor of Qin in history. According to historical rumors, Qin Shi Huang is said to be the illegitimate son of Zhao Ji and Lü Buwei. After King Yingzheng of Qin ascended the throne, he was very disgusted with his mother's behavior, thinking that his wife should be clean and clean. And his mother's life style is extremely disorderly, and Lu Buwei is in the front, and then with Chang Yu, messing with the harem, after Ying Zheng came to power, he blamed his mother many times, and even hoped that his mother would die early. After unifying China for many years without establishing a queen, was he not influenced by his own mother? I don't think it is possible for the first emperor to covet the beauty of Meng Jiangnu. Later, Qin Shi Huang promoted chastity, and even included chastity in the law. Later, it was rumored that after Meng Jiangnu cried down the Great Wall, she saw countless corpses under the Great Wall, and she could no longer find her husband's bones. Therefore, the Emperor of Heaven was moved, and the Emperor of Heaven made her an immortal in recognition of her. But she couldn't forget these painful memories, so she came to the underworld, and the Lord of Yama asked her to boil Meng Po soup by the Nai He Bridge, so that the yin spirits involved in reincarnation could forget everything in their previous lives. That is, the so-called: "The past life is over, and the good and evil in this life are only thought of by the heart." The story of Meng Jiangnu was also included in the biography of the martyr, and later there was also a legend that Meng Po soup was boiled by the tears you shed all your life.
