Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Don’t just be sentimental for Concubine Yu

For two thousand years, Concubine Yu has always been a poignant and sad image of a tragic beauty in the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese people. According to the records of "Historical Records Xiang Yu Benji", the Chu army was surrounded by the Han army at Gaixia. Xiang Yu heard the besieged song "then he got up at night and drank in the tent. There is a beautiful person named Yu, who is always lucky to follow, and a horse named Zou, who often rides on it. So Xiang Wangnai The tragic song is generous, and its own poem says: "Strengthen the mountain and the world is overwhelmed, and the time is not good. The time is not dying. What is the time when the time is not dying, what is the reason for the dying?" Walking down, both left and right are weeping, and I can’t look up." According to "Love History·Qing Zhen Lei", "(After Yu Ji and the song) Ji Sui slayed herself. At Ji’s burial place, there is grass that can dance, and people call it Yu Meiren Grass. "

Later generations read the story of Concubine Yu, always saddened by her loyalty of "eight thousand children returned to the Han Dynasty together, and it is Chu's waist to live up to the king's grace", and moved by her infatuation of "green blood turns into riverside grass, flowers bloom more red than azaleas" , but ignores that she is always by Xiang Yu's side like a black horse, that is to say, she has seen and experienced what Xiang Yu does with her own eyes. Why didn't Yuji say a word when she committed a crime? Throughout the Warring States period, although wars were raging and wars were frequent, there was never any atrocity of massacre of civilians. The instigator of this atrocity in the last years of the Qin Dynasty was Xiang Yu, whom Yu Ji loved and accompanied every day. He had been in Xiangcheng three times. Chengyang, Xianyang, and Chengyang wantonly massacred the city, no matter whether Qin soldiers or civilians, he would not let go. In addition, he had two crimes of killing prisoners, one in Xin'an, killing 200,000 soldiers of the Qin army, and one in After breaking Qi, a large number of Tian Rong's subordinates who had surrendered were buried alive.When thousands of lives are about to die, why doesn't Yu Ji who is by Xiang Yu's side say a word?

Not only the people of Qin hated Xiang Yu's atrocities, but even Mi Xin, the second king of Chuhuai he supported, was always terrified of his various demonic acts. This young king of Chuhuai once said worriedly to the ministers and generals: "Xiang Yu is a man , a fierce and cunning thief! Xiang Yu tried to attack Xiangcheng, and there was nothing left in Xiangcheng, all of them were pitted! Everything he passed was destroyed!" Because of this evaluation, Xiang Yu hated him deeply, and first called him "Emperor Yi" The name emptied the young King Huai of Chu, and then killed him mercilessly.When King Huai of Chu was killed, why didn't Concubine Yu who was loyal to the country say a word?

As a thoughtful and delicate woman, Concubine Yu should know that "Ya father" Fan Zeng is deeply affectionate and loyal to Xiang Yu, but Concubine Yu did not stand when Fan Zeng's harsh words and clever schemes were rejected by Xiang Yu time and time again. She came out to persuade her, but still maintained her usual attitude of not saying a word. Therefore, Yu Ji can't help but remind people of a proper noun commonly used to describe beautiful actresses-vase. At that time and that place, Concubine Yu didn't say a word.Here and now, the author can't help but say: After two thousand years, when we are sad for Concubine Yu, shouldn't we take a deeper and more comprehensive look at this character?
