The historical background of The Legend of Mi Yue is not true. It has been artistically treated in film and television works. Many plots are fabricated.
Mi Yue was the favorite little princess of Chu Weiwang, the monarch of Chu during the Warring States Period. Later, after her death, her status plummeted, and her mother was expelled from the palace by the queen. Mi Yue and his younger brother Mirong experienced disasters and crises again and again. Later, she was forced to become the dowry of the first princess and married Qin. Mi Yue must be a concubine.
The real historical background is that Mi Yue became the concubine of King Huiwen. Historically speaking, Mibazi shows that Mi Yue's grade is not high. At this time, it was not in power. After Qin's death, Qin's eldest son inherited the throne, while his son became a victim and went to Yan State as a hostage. After Qin Wuwang's death, after a political struggle, Wang Hui, who defeated Qin, was finally established as the new monarch of Qin, namely Zhao Xiang, king of Qin.
Extended data:
Queen Xuan loves her lover Wei Choufu very much. When Empress Xuan was terminally ill and dying, she ordered Wei Choufu to be buried for herself. Wei Choufu was very scared when he learned that, so he asked Yong Rui to lobby the Queen Xuan. Yong Rui first asked Empress Xuan if she could perceive things in the world after her death. Empress Xuan replied that she could not.
Yong Rui went on to say that since people don't feel anything after death, why kill the one they love? If the deceased is really conscious, then the first king will hate the queen mother for cheating.
Empress Dowager Cixi, it's too late for you to make amends now. How could you have an affair with Wei Choufu? Empress Xuan thought Yong Rui was right, so she revoked Wei Choufu's martyrdom letter for herself. ?
In 265 10, Empress Xuan died and was buried in Lishan, Xiangyang (now Lishan, Lintong District, Shaanxi Province).
