《资治通鉴·周纪》92丨历史上第一位著名舔狗是谁?(2)
Summary
This 芮淇讲透资治通鉴 episode completes the Zhouji 92 part 1 hostage crisis. After 芈完 / 楚考烈王 escapes from 秦国, 黄歇 / 春申君 stays behind, admits the plan only after the prince is safe, and survives because 范雎 convinces 秦昭襄王 to treat the failed hostage leverage as a chance to preserve influence in 楚国.
The episode then reviews 楚顷襄王 as a politically weak but partially reparative ruler: his early hostage killing, failure to avenge 楚怀王, and losses to Qin define his reputation, while 庄辛’s “亡羊补牢” counsel gives his late reign a limited recovery arc. The closing turn uses 宋玉, 巫山神女, 《高唐赋》, and 《神女赋》 to explain 襄王有意,神女无心, making the title’s “著名舔狗” frame point to Chu Qingxiang Wang’s literary afterlife as a figure of one-sided longing.
Key Claims
- 范雎 argues that killing 黄歇 / 春申君 after 太子完 has already escaped would only satisfy anger; sending Huang Xie back can still create future Qin leverage over Chu.
- 芈完 / 楚考烈王 succeeds 楚顷襄王 three months later and rewards Huang Xie with the chancellorship, a large Huai River-region fief, and the title Chunshenjun.
- The episode contrasts the 战国四公子 by presenting Chunshenjun’s rise as more dependent on concrete service, courage, and long hostage-court companionship than on birth alone.
- The source-scoped Shanghai/申城 and Huangpu River associations are treated as cultural memory around Chunshenjun, not as independently verified topographical history.
- 楚顷襄王 is judged harshly because his life includes hostage violence, military collapse, loss of the old Chu center, and long accommodation to Qin after 楚怀王’s death.
- 庄辛’s recall and “亡羊补牢” advice give Mi Heng a late but limited repair story: disaster has already happened, yet the ruler can still listen, appoint him, and recover some territory.
- 宋玉 becomes the bridge from political history to literary memory: the episode credits him with preserving the Chu kings’ dream encounters with 巫山神女 through 《高唐赋》 and 《神女赋》.
- 襄王有意,神女无心 is used as the title resolution: Chu Qingxiang Wang’s pursuit of the goddess becomes a classical idiom for unreciprocated desire.
- The episode closes by marking the transition from the Chu Qingxiang Wang era to the 楚考烈王 and 春申君 era.
