Chapter 971 The Four Ancient Clans! (Part 2)

Chapter 971 The Four Ancient Tribes! (Down)

Da Qing's words suddenly made Lin Chen very interested.

In ancient documents and materials, there are indeed some contents that were fabricated by later victors. Because in feudal society, the ruling class must establish a tall and powerful image that represents justice.

And Su Daji, a peerless beauty, was the woman of Shang Zhou, and Shang Zhou was the last king of the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, after the Zhou people won the victory, it was indeed possible to discredit Su Daji and create a false impression for the people at that time.

Lin Chen had never heard of these histories, so he politely said: "Please tell me the truth you know."

Da Qing nodded with satisfaction.

After all, we were talking about the history of her ancestors, and of course she would tell it with reverence. Lin Chen's attitude made her very satisfied.

"Actually, at the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou vowed to destroy the Shang Dynasty. It was only based on attitudes generated by political development and personal hatred. It was just a political means to vilify the ancestors.

The demise of the Shang Dynasty was due to the vigorous management of the southeast, and the focus had shifted to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, leaving the Central Plains empty, and Zhou talents were able to take advantage of the opportunity. What's ridiculous is that they actually blamed a woman for the downfall of the Shang Dynasty!

From a common sense point of view, it is difficult for people to agree with this.

At most, after the ancestors entered the palace, they caused disputes with other concubines due to competition for favor. Those concubines who fell out of favor each had a clan background, which deepened the conflict between King Zhou and the princes and small countries; if we insist that the ancestors were the bane of the country's destruction, , it’s too overestimating her!

The reason why Daji has such a bad reputation is because the Zhou people hated King Zhou and promoted it.

I have a very important reason to support my opinion. That is, according to the existing oracle bone documents, there are no chapters recording the evil deeds of the ancestors, only records of the evil deeds of King Zhou. Therefore, the ancestor was just the companion of King Zhou in his later years and did not do any evil deeds!

As for my ancestor, she was indeed born with the beauty of a moon-shy flower, and it was understandable that she would be jealous and maliciously slandered by others. This is the so-called beauty's bad fate. Maybe, this is the fate of our ancestors..."

After saying that, a touch of sadness appeared on Daqing's face.

Although Lin Chen listened with great interest, he had his own independent opinions.

Let's not talk about whether Su Daji, a famous woman in history, was good or bad, but later generations called her a "temptress", and it should be true that there is no trouble without fire. But in a slave society that worshiped divination and other superstitious methods at that time, an emperor could be influenced by a woman? This is a little too far-fetched.

Da Qing's words also make sense. After all, in ancient dynasties, history was written by the victors. They could write whatever they wanted, and most people in later generations could only hear about it.

Of course, these truths are all sealed in history thousands of years ago. Whether they are true or false, they are just an unsolved mystery.

at this time.

After calming down, Da Qing spoke again:

"Okay, I don't expect you to understand the matter of my ancestors after listening to me once. But since you want to repay me, you can no longer slander my ancestors as you did just now.

In addition, our Da tribe was originally descended from the Sioux tribe, but after the victory of the Zhou people, in order to avoid being exterminated by them, we changed our name to the Da tribe. I also hope you can understand this.

Okay, next... I will tell you which four ancient clans are the four major ancient clans! "

"Yes!" Lin Chen looked like he was all ears.

"Actually, the origins of the four ancient tribes are inseparable from the title of the Enchantress of our ancestors. Because the four ancient tribes are the descendants of the four famous Enchantresses in Chinese history!

The Four Great Enchantresses refer to the four famous concubines in ancient China... Nuxi of Xia, Daji of Shang, Baosi of Zhou, and Liji of Jin. They are as beautiful as gods, their beauty is fragrant, they are charming and moving, they captivate the city and the country, they are like fishes and geese. They are the beauty of a generation, and they are deeply favored by the king. Even the king of that country had no interest in government affairs for them, and even did some things for them that harmed the country and the country.

Of course, the reason why I say this is just to restate the superficial historical documents. Lin Chen, you are not familiar with history, so I will tell you a few more words. Let me first talk about the famous incident of the so-called four beauties. You should be able to understand them and remember them, including my ancestors, completely in your heart.

Yuxi, the earliest ‘enchantress’ in history. She was also the favorite concubine of Xia Jie, the last emperor of the Xia Dynasty.

There are two opinions about this enchantress.

One is...she is a beauty donated by a tribe to avoid being subjugated by Xia Jie.

In order to please his concubine, King Jie built a palace and a Yaotai, and used jade to build a luxurious Yaotai outside the palace. He used it as a palace to leave the palace, where he feasted and had sex all day long and ignored political affairs.

Later, Xia Jie gradually ignored Yu Xi. Concubine was happy and hated her, so she secretly sent Xia military information to Shang Tang, which led to Xia's destruction. Shang Tang did not

Thanks to Yu Xi, Yu Xi and Jie were drowned in the East China Sea.

The second is that in order to take revenge, the tribe sacrificed Yuxi and made her a spy. Empress Wu Xi conspired with Yi Yin to destroy the Xia Dynasty. Therefore, she can also be called the first female spy in China's history.

Of course, the specifics cannot be verified, just listen to it.

As for my ancestor Daji, I have said a lot before, so I won’t repeat it again.

And the third enchantress... Bao Si, is very famous among modern people. You should have heard of the story of "playing with princes by lighting beacons", right?

That's right! Bao Si is one of the protagonists in this story.

As for the last enchantress, her name is Li Ji.

She was a celebrity in the Spring and Autumn Period. She was captured by Duke Xian of Jin and became his concubine. She was extremely beautiful and scheming.

She used a trick to alienate the relationship between Duke Xian's father and son and brothers, and designed to kill the prince, creating the famous event of "Li Ji's fall on Jin".

The above four... Mei Xi, Daji, Bao Si, Li Ji, are the four famous enchantresses! And our four ancient clans are the descendants of these four enchantresses! "

After listening to Da Qing's words, Lin Chen had some sudden realization.

Before, he heard that the four ancient tribes were all matriarchal social groups, and he still felt a little uncomfortable. But now that he knows the origins of the four ancient tribes, he also thinks this is very normal.

The descendants of the four great beauties... How could their descendants not be special for these four historical celebrities with stunning beauties?

In the thousands of years of Chinese history, there are only these four beauties...

After thinking it through, Lin Chen asked directly: "Benefactor, why do your four ancient tribes have such a feud?"
