In a rage, he led Qing soldiers into the pass for her.
When the prosperity was over, she threw herself into the lotus pond and died for him.
In the 16th year of Chongzhen's reign, Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan, was transferred to Beijing and met a woman singing at the residence of the powerful minister Tian Hongyu. Her name is Chen Yuanyuan, she was born in Liyuan, and she is excellent in both sex and art. The song "The Story of Red Plum Blossoms" shocked everyone in the audience, and also sung into the heart of an iron-blooded general.
A year later, Li Zicheng captured Beijing and Chongzhen hanged himself. And Chen Yuanyuan was forcibly occupied by Liu Zongmin, the general of Dashun Army. Wu Sangui drew his sword and struck the case: "If a man can't protect a woman, how can he show his face to others?"
He opened Shanhaiguan and led the Qing soldiers into the pass. From then on, he was called a "traitor" and in exchange for one sentence - "Yuanyuan, I'm here to pick you up."
In the next twenty years or so, he went from King Pingxi to Prince Pingxi, from a rebel general in the Ming Dynasty to a vassal king in the Qing Dynasty, and finally raised troops to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and ascended the throne in Hengzhou and proclaimed himself emperor. At the peak of his power, he rebuilt the Kunming Golden Palace and cast statues of gods in his own face. His ambition was clear.
And she, from being a favored concubine to an abandoned wife, from the royal palace to a nunnery, gradually drifted away from him. Finally, after the political breakup, she led him to practice Buddhism and never looked back.
In the twenty-third year of Kangxi's reign, Wu Sangui, who was defeated and living in seclusion in Huilongtang, Chongqing, breathed his last.
Thousands of miles away, in the Golden Palace of Kunming, by the lotus pond, an old nun heard the news.
She put on clean clothes and walked into the pool.
On the same day and at the same time, one south and one north, 1,500 miles.
This is not a story of heroes and beauties.
This is a woman who spent her whole life waiting for an answer, and this answer finally turned into a circle of ripples in the lotus pond.
Open "The Lost Songs of Guanshan" and watch a piece of peerless sadomasochism that has been covered up by infamy in troubled times.
