"Your Majesty, the slave fortunately did not disgrace his life and found that Chen Yuanyuan." I had just pampered the beauties of the Western Regions, but it was the eunuch Wang Chengen who arrived and actually found Chen Yuanyuan.

The traverser rejoices in the government.

Chen Yuanyuan is such a shocking beauty, how could he let it go, he had already dedicated it to the original Chongzhen, but he pushed it away, it was a pity, so he sent Wang Chengen to find Chen Yuanyuan back.

。。。。。。。

。。。。。。。

Let's first understand Chen Yuanyuan in history, Chen Yuanyuan's original surname was Xing, born in Jiangnan, his family was poor, his parents died when he was young, and he was adopted by his aunt, and his uncle's surname was Chen, so he changed his surname to Chen. Living in Suzhou Taohuawu. When Chen Yuanyuan was ten years old, he was sold to the pear orchard by his uncle-in-law to learn singing and dancing skills, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Chen Yuanyuan is from Liyuan, is a courtesan in Liyuan, a famous singer in Wuzhong, and the opera artist You Xitang "still sees it" when he was young.

Don't get me wrong, this singer is not a prostitute, he only sells his art, not his body.

Chen Yuanyuan's color and art are unique, and his name moves Jiangzuo. She has been smart since she was a child, stunning the township, and is good at acting in Yiyang dramas. On the stage for the first time, Yuanyuan played the role of the matchmaker in "The Legend of the West Chamber", the people were as beautiful as flowers, like clouds coming out of Xiu, the sound of warblers, the six horses looked up, and the audience was contemplative and breathless, fascinated. Although Chen Yuanyuan is young, she has the demeanor of a celebrity, every time she performs, she is bright and outstanding, and at that time, the audience of her performance was crazy, and she was the leader of the Qinhuai River.

Chen Yuanyuan, as a female prostitute in Liyuan, has many admirers, and there are countless people who are willing to redeem her.

It is said that Gong Ruofu, the son of Gong Xiuling in Jiangyin, once ransomed Chen Yuanyuan as a concubine with a lot of money, but Yuanyuan was not tolerated by his wife.

And Gong Ruofu's father, Gong Xiuling, was very surprised when he saw Yuanyuan and said: "This girl is extremely noble!" It's not something that my Gong family can contain", and then let Chen Yuanyuan leave without ransom.

Chen Yuanyuan also had a relationship with Mao Xiang, Chongzhen 14 spring, Mao Xiang Province pro-Hengyue, through Suzhou, recommended by friends, to meet Chen Yuanyuan, and set the date of the meeting; In August of that year, Mao Xiang moved to Suzhou to meet Yuanyuan again, when Yuanyuan was robbed by the wealthy family, fortunately escaped from the tiger's mouth, so he had the intention of marrying and risking the fire to meet the mother of Mao Xiang's house.

The two have a strong relationship, and they swear by the mountains and the sea.

After that, Mao Xiang repeatedly missed the appointment due to funeral, and Chen Yuanyuan was unfortunately brought to the capital after being redeemed by Qi Tianhong outside the Ming Emperor.

At that time, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty had a concubine surnamed Tian, and his father Tian Hongyu was worried that his daughter would fall out of favor with the emperor in old age, so he went to Jiangnan to look for beauties in order to win over the emperor. When Tian Hongyu met Chen Yuanyuan, who was extremely talented, he ransomed him and took him to the capital, and accepted him as a righteous daughter, and after some training, he was introduced into the palace by Concubine Tian.

At this time, the Ming Empire was crumbling, and Emperor Chongzhen, who was exhausted physically and mentally, had no intention of enjoying the beauty, so Chen Yuanyuan had no choice but to return and never knew where to go.

Chen Yuanyuan's original surname was Xing, born in Jiangnan, his family was poor, his parents died when he was young, and he was adopted by his aunt, and his husband's surname was Chen, so he changed his surname to Chen. Living in Suzhou Taohuawu. When Chen Yuanyuan was ten years old, he was sold to the pear orchard by his uncle-in-law to learn singing and dancing skills, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Chen Yuanyuan is from Liyuan, is a courtesan of Liyuan, is a famous singer in Wuzhong, and the opera artist You Xitang "still sees it" when he is young.

Color and art are unique

Chen Yuanyuan's color and art are unique, and his name moves Jiangzuo. She has been smart since she was a child, and she is stunning in the township. When the valley in the south of the Yangtze River was not on the mountain, the uncle-in-law who valued profit and light righteousness sold Yuanyuan to Suzhou Liyuan and was good at acting in Yiyang drama. On the stage for the first time, Yuanyuan played the role of the matchmaker in "The Legend of the West Chamber", the people were as beautiful as flowers, like clouds coming out of Xiu, the sound of warblers, the six horses looked up, and the audience was contemplative and breathless, fascinated. Chen Yuanyuan "is elegant and elegant, and he shows off his grace", with the demeanor of celebrities, every time he appears on the stage, he is bright and outstanding, and he is the only champion at that time, "the audience is broken for it".

Kidnapped into Beijing

Chen Yuanyuan, as an actress in Liyuan, Yuanyuan once belonged to Zou Shu in Wujiang, "often acting in Yu's house, and staying in" ("Ten Beautiful Words"). It is reported that Gong Ruofu, the son of Gong Xiuling in Jiangyin, once ransomed Chen Yuanyuan as a concubine with a heavy amount of money, but Yuanyuan was not tolerated by his wife. And Gong Ruofu's father, Gong Xiuling, was very surprised when he saw Yuanyuan and said, "This nobleman! "If you go away, you will not be held accountable for the ransom." (Li Jieli's "Essays on Tianxiang Pavilion"). [5] Chen Yuanyuan also had a relationship with Mao Xiang, in the spring of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen (1641), Mao Xiang Province pro-Hengyue, through Suzhou, recommended by friends, met Chen Yuanyuan, and set a date for the meeting; In August of that year, Mao Xiang moved to Suzhou to meet Yuanyuan again, when Yuanyuan was robbed by the wealthy family, fortunately escaped from the tiger's mouth, so he had the intention of marrying and risking the fire to meet the mother of Mao Xiang's house. The two were affectionate and swore an oath. After that, Mao Xiang repeatedly missed the appointment due to funeral, and Chen Yuanyuan was unfortunately robbed and robbed of his cousin Tian Hong and entered Beijing.

In the mid-spring of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen (1642), Chen Yuanyuan was robbed and robbed into Beijing by his cousin Tian Hong. The time when Yuanyuan entered Beijing, there are three sayings in the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth years of Chongzhen, among them, Hu Jiezhi's "Cicun Yongshi Xinle Fu" said: "In the year of Chongzhen Xinsi, Tian Guifei's father Hong met into Xiangputuo, passed through Jinchang, fished and hunted prostitutes, and then returned with Yuan. "Fourteen years said; Ye Mengzhu's "Reading the World" said: "In the spring of the sixteenth year, Qi Wantian Hong met Wu Chang in the south, and heard the courtesans Chen Yuan and Gu Shou. Famous for a while, Hongyu made people buy Gu Shou, and Yuan is especially beautiful and peerless, the guest has a private Hongyu, with 800 gold market Yuan into it, Hongyu to return to Beijing. "Sixteen years said. However, according to Mao Xiang's "Memories of Yingmei An", Mao Xiang and Chen Yuanyuan made a private covenant in the autumn of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, and after that, Mao Xiang was involved in family affairs and failed to go to Yuanyuan for a date. During this period, Yuanyuan repeatedly sent books to urge him to fulfill the contract, but he did not have time to reply. In the mid-spring of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, he braved Xiang to Suzhou to meet Yuanyuan, but Yuanyuan had been robbed into Beijing ten days ago. Because Mao Xiang remembered what he had personally experienced, Chen Yuanyuan's entry into Beijing should be the mid-spring of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. [8]

As for the people who robbed Yuanyuan, there are Tian Hongyu, the father of Emperor Chongzhen's Concubine Tian, and Zhou Kui, the father of Emperor Chongzhen's Empress Zhou. The former speakers are represented by Zou Shu, Liu Jian, You Tong, Li Jieli, Ye Mengzhu, Lu Ciyun and others, and since they are Chen Yuanyuan's contemporaries, they can be trusted. The latter speaker only has the record of "Zhijiang Baoyangsheng", whose name is difficult to verify, and Niu Xiu's paraphrase. Zhijiang Baoyangsheng's "Jiashen Dynasty Affairs" said: "Zhou Jiading, a relative, procured Jiangnan, smelled its beauty, and obtained it. Bring it back to Beijing. "The lone evidence statement seems to be unreliable.

At that time, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty had a concubine surnamed Tian, and his father Tian Wan was worried that his daughter would fall out of favor with the emperor in old age, so he went to Jiangnan to look for beautiful women to envelop the emperor. When Tian Wan met Chen Yuanyuan, who was very talented, he ransomed him and brought him to the capital, and accepted him as a righteous daughter, and after some training, he was introduced into the palace by Concubine Tian. At this time, the Ming Empire was crumbling, and Emperor Chongzhen, who was physically and mentally exhausted, had no intention of enjoying beauty. Three months after Chen Yuanyuan entered the palace, he still failed to win the emperor's favor, so he had to return to Tianfu. Tian Wan originally wanted to win the emperor's favor with Chen Yuanyuan's beauty in exchange for Emperor Chongzhen's trust in him, but he didn't want to achieve his goal.

Chen Yuanyuan later became Tian Hongyu's family music actor. Tian Hongyu was losing power day by day, and in order to consolidate his position and find support in the troubled times, he intended to make friends with Wu Sangui, who was very prestigious and had a heavy army at that time. Tian Hongyu once invited Wu Sangui to his family banquet, "Out of the group of Ji tune silk and bamboo, all of them are very beautiful." A person with light makeup, all the beauty and the first voice, glamorous and delicate. And this singer with light makeup and beauty is Chen Yuanyuan. Wu Sangui was surprised by Chen Yuanyuan's beauty, "I don't feel that his mind is moving." Tian Hongyu was invited by Sangui to give Yuanyuan to Wu Sangui, and arranged a rich dowry and sent it to Wu's mansion. After Li Zicheng's peasant army captured Beijing, Yuanyuan was captured by Liu Zongmin. Wu Sangui originally wanted to surrender to the peasant army, but after learning that Yuanyuan had been robbed, he was angry and surrendered angrily. "History of the Ming Dynasty: Liukou" said: "At the beginning, Sangui was sent to Shanhaiguan to help, but the Beijing division fell and hesitated to enter. Since he robbed his father, he made a book to recruit him, Sangui wanted to surrender, to Luanzhou, heard that Aiji Chen Yuan was plundered by Liu Zongmin, he was very angry, returned to the mountains and seas, and attacked the thief. Angry, more than 100,000 thieves, Wu Xiang in the army, east of the Shanhaiguan, in order not to cross the pass from a piece of stone. Sangui is afraid, begging to surrender to me. ”

Under the joint attack of Wu Sangui's troops and the Qing army, Li Zicheng's peasant army suffered heavy losses and fled from Beijing in a hurry, abandoning all the plundered baggage and women in the road. Wu Sangui found Chen Yuanyuan in the fire, and the military camp was reunited. Since then, Chen Yuanyuan has been following Wu Sangui to fight. After Wu Sangui pacified Yunnan, Yuanyuan entered Wu Sangui's Pingxi Palace, and once "favored the harem"

After Wu Sangui dominated Yunnan, he had different ambitions, was poor and luxurious, and sang and danced. Constructing the garden Anfu Garden, "buying Wu Ling's fifteenth year, a total of forty people as a team" ("Jiashen Dynasty Chronicles"), [12] "The garden is prosperous, and the extravagance exceeds the ban" (Wang Peng, "Roaming Chronicles"). Chen Yuanyuan was decrepit due to old age, coupled with discord with Wu Sangui's wife, and Wu Sangui had several favorite concubines, so he gradually fell out of favor, so he resigned from the palace and entered the Tao, "cloth clothes and vegetable food, worship the Buddha for the rest of his life" ("Tianxiang Pavilion Essays"). Since then, a generation of red makeup has been luxurious and lonely.

Wu Sangui's attempt to rebel had made Chen Yuanyuan very disgusted, and the question of Chen Yuanyuan's hiding had been raised before Wu Sangui raised his army. She said: "I don't care about my safety, but I have to keep the roots. This "root" refers to Wu Qihua, that is, Wu Yingqi, another son of Wu Sangui who was raised by Wu Sangui's brother Wu Sanfeng since childhood. Wu Yingqi has called Wu Sanfeng his father since he was a child, so he has never been in the field of vision of the Qing court. Wu Yingqi was taken to the palace at the age of nine, and should be raised by Chen Yuanyuan's side, the two are like mother and son, and the relationship is extremely close. After Wu Sangui's death, Chen Yuanyuan was very disappointed in the small court, so he discussed with Wu Yingqi and the general Ma Bao to find a safe place to protect "Gengen". Chen Yuanyuan was escorted by Ma Bao and first went to the Longao River to build a thatched cave, where the terrain is dangerous, with a 100-meter-high cliff in front and a deep mountain and old forest in the back. Later, due to the large number of wild animals on the mountain, the grain could not be harvested, Chen Yuanyuan and his family lived in several places such as the former house field and the old house field. Chen Yuanyuan missed Wu Sangui so much that he was exhausted, and he often worked hard for the safety of his family, resulting in a headache, and when the pain was severe, he would faint and fall unconscious. Later on, the attacks became more frequent. One day in August of the 28th year of Kangxi, Chen Yuanyuan fell to the ground while reciting Buddhist scriptures and never woke up.

Quickly pass on, I want to make her a concubine, since this Chen Yuanyuan has found it, he will have to hurt it well, and it will not be in vain to come to this Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzheng thought inside.
