The story of Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan

What was the love story between Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan, and what happened to them in the end? According to the data, Chen Yuanyuan, formerly known as Xing, is the daughter of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. Her mother died early and she was put in foster care at her uncle's house. Because her uncle's surname is Chen, she changed her name to Chen Yuanyuan. Later, she was sent to a theater by her uncle to study. Chen Yuanyuan, who entered the pear garden, had to resign himself to his fate and do his best. She studied opera hard, and because of her talent, she soon made her mark in the pear garden. With the increase of her appearance times, many princes and grandchildren spared no expense to see her beauty, and rich children also flocked to her. At that time, the harem of Chongzhen was jealous, Tian Guifei charmed Emperor Chongzhen with sycophantic means, and Queen Gong Zheng was left out in the cold. Zhou Kui, the father of Queen Zhou, intends to go to the folk to find a beautiful woman with unparalleled talent and appearance to share Tian Guifei's favor.

In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhou Kui was in Suzhou. After several twists and turns, she finally found Chen Yuanyuan, a 20-to 80-year-old Liyuan geisha. Chen Yuanyuan is not only good at singing and dancing, but also very beautiful, purer than the beauties in the palace. So Chen Yuanyuan was sent to Queen Zhou's palace, but at this time, Emperor Chongzhen worried about state affairs all day, with Tian Guifei around him, and he didn't want to spend any more energy on beautiful women. Chen Yuanyuan, who failed to become a big shot, had to go home and continue to be an unpopular kabuki in Zhoufu. Wu Sangui, as a general to defend the country, was in power and was in the limelight for a while. Many dignitaries want to please him. Knowing that heroes love beauty, Zhou Kui asked Chen Yuanyuan to present a song and dance for Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui saw a dancer with graceful sleeves, no ink on her eyebrows, no ink on her lips, a smile in her eyes and good eyes. At this time, everyone is drunk before the wine is intoxicating.

At the end of the sober banquet, Wu Sangui finally proposed that he hoped to give Chen Yuanyuan to himself, which was exactly what Zhou Kui wanted. The next day, Wu Sangui sent someone to Zhou Fu to hire relatives and friends. And Zhou Kui had expected, prepared a dowry in advance, and personally sent Chen Yuanyuan to Five Blessingg. It is rumored that Wu Sangui, who is newly married, left soon and went to Shanhaiguan to keep the pass. Who knows that soon after he left Beijing, Li Zicheng came to Beijing, not only occupying the city, but also burning and looting people everywhere. Li Zicheng's confidant coveted Chen for a long time and took it for himself after entering Beijing. Wu Sangui, who was stationed outside, wanted to surrender to Li Zicheng after learning that Li Zicheng had captured Beijing. However, after learning that Chen Yuanyuan was occupied, he was very angry and immediately asked Dourgen.

Unexpectedly, this is equivalent to inviting wolves into the room. Under the attack of the Qing army southward and Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng was defeated, and the Qing Dynasty was established after Nuzhen occupied Beijing. Wu Sangui also found occupied Chen Yuanyuan. After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, Wu was named King of the Day by Dourgen, and the fief was as far away as Yunnan. And Chen Yuanyuan has been with Wu Sangui. It stands to reason that Chen Yuanyuan should be happy for the rest of her life. She finally spent her whole life with her lover. But this is not the case. Wu Sangui, who was named King Xiping in Qing Dynasty, wanted Chen Yuanyuan to be a princess, but she refused. Although Chen Yuanyuan is a woman, she also has national integrity. She has been in this world for more than ten years and is used to the ups and downs of this world. Besides, she also knew that Wu Sangui had betrayed her national beliefs for her own sake and was accused of treason and seeking glory. Although all this has nothing to do with her directly, it is because of her that she has no mind to be a princess.

From then on, Wu Sangui took Chen Yuanyuan as a confidant and told her everything, but he didn't want his beloved woman to understand his political position and proposition. She also wanted to interfere in her own political decision-making, so she grew tired of Chen Yuanyuan. Some people say that after Wu Sangui was killed, Chen Yuanyuan committed suicide by jumping into the river. It is also said that she saw through the world of mortals and cut her hair after people came to Huang Zhu and were left out in the cold by Wu Sangui. All kinds of statements point to the fact that Chen Yuanyuan was unhappy in his later years. It is not difficult to guess that a woman in troubled times can't save herself. Wu Sangui will take her. If he wasn't the king in those days, maybe they could love each other till they were old. Once Wu Sangui started with wealth and idleness, the king of the day was surrounded by countless beautiful women. How could he remember this old Chen Yuanyuan? It has always been the norm in the world to care for people with color and love the pool with color.
