In ancient dynasties, men were in power, and the fate of most women was used as a pawn for political marriage, whether it was the daughter of an important minister of the court or the daughter of a royal nobleman, they all made decisions about their marriage, and could not escape the fate of becoming a bond and a victim.
Women are virtuous if they are not talented, and many women, even if they have talent, ideals and ambitions in their hearts, can only become a subsidiary of men in the end.
Empress Zhang Yan in history, although she is a queen, her fate is very tragic.
At the age of eleven, he was forced to marry his own uncle Liu YingAfter four years of marriage, he began to be widowed, a life of ill-fated people,Until his death at the age of forty, he still maintained a perfect body.
Empress Zhang Yan's background is very nobleHer maternal grandfather, Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, was Gaozu of the Han DynastyHis grandfather was also a great hero of the Han Dynasty, King Zhao Jing。Her mother is Princess Lu Yuan, the daughter of Han Gaozu and Lu Pheasant, and her father is Zhang Ao, Marquis of Xuanping.
The illustrious family background gave her a superior environment and conditions, and she was smart and clever since she was a child, and Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was full of praise.
In addition, God is also very powerful, giving Zhang Yan outstanding appearance, when she was five or six years old, she was said to be a stunning beauty when she grew up.
Hearing this, we may think that Zhang Yan will have a smooth life, a prominent family background, and an outstanding appearance, which man doesn't like it, but what we didn't expect was that Zhang Yan, who was only 11 years old, was involved in the conspiracy of court politics.
After the death of Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, his son Liu Ying succeeded to the throneThe best candidate for Emperor Han Gao was not Liu Ying, but Liu Ruyi, who was the son of Lady Xiao.
has been following Liu Bang to fight the worldQueenLv Pheasant, is known for his strong personalityShe was naturally not satisfied with such a decision, so she played a little trick and finally let her son Liu Ying take the throne.
You must know that the children brought out by a strong mother are either very strong or very weak, and Liu Ying belongs to the latter, which is also one of the reasons why he was not valued by Emperor Han Gao.
After Liu Ying ascended the throne, he became a puppet emperor in name only, and all the power in the court fell into the hands of Empress Lü.
At the beginning of his ascension to the throne,In order to stabilize Liu Ying's position, Empress Lu decided to marry her own niece Zhang Yan to her son Liu YingIn this way, it can not only bring benefits to the Zhang family, but also ensure the purity of the bloodline.
Liu Ying was only eleven years old at the time, and her uncle Liu Ying was eight years older than her.
Although ancient women married very early, they were generally around sixteen years old, and Zhang Yan was only eleven years old, just a child who had never been in the world!
Liu Ying was weak by nature and couldn't prevent this tragedy from happening, so she was forced to accept such an absurd marriage.
When he had a round house after marriage, although Liu Ying also thought that Zhang Yan was very good-looking, he had never done anything out of the ordinary to Zhang Yan, an eleven-year-old doll.
In addition, Liu Ying often plays with Zhang Yan, truly loves her as a junior, and often protects Zhang Yan from being hurt by Empress Lu in secret.
But there has been no husband and wife, and the final result is that Zhang Yan cannot conceive an heir.
Regardless of whether Zhang Yan's body had the ability to get pregnant at that time, the Queen Mother still understood her son's temperament and knew that he didn't touch Zhang Yan at allHe coerced Liu Ying to give birth to a child, otherwise he would kill all the women around him.
Liu Ying thought of a way in desperation, he acted in a pregnancy and childbirth with Zhang Yan, and finally took the child born to him and the palace to the queen mother. Of course, in order not to make the Queen Mother suspicious, he killed the palace maid, and that child was Liu Gong.
It didn't take long for Liu Ying to pass awayAt that time, Zhang Yan was only 15 years old, and she was widowed, and Liu Ying's son Liu Gong, who was born to the palace back then, will naturally become the new emperor.
According to common sense, Liu Gong ascended the throne, and Zhang Yan should become the queen mother.
But in this way, Lu Pheasant could not grasp the power of the court, so Lu Pheasant ordered Zhang Yan to raise Liu Gong first and then make plans to ascend the throne, and the government during this period was temporarily handed over to his own management.
Zhang Yan naturally didn't dare to have any objections, so she was so embarrassed that she lived in the palace for several years.
As Liu Gong grew up, he inadvertently learned what happened, and angrily proposed that he must avenge his mother.
But Liu Gong's methods were far less clever than Lu Pheasant's, and Lu Pheasant quietly solved Liu Gong in secret, and set up Liu Ying's righteous son Liu Hong as the new emperor.
For so many years, the imperial court has been interfered with by Lu Pheasant, and the ministers have quite opinions. After the death of Lu Pheasant,The ministers joined forces to solve Lü Pheasant's henchmen, and also supported Liu Heng as Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.
The situation has changed, the most innocentZhang Yan was deposed as the queen mother because of her special status, although he escaped death, stillwas beaten into the North Palace, and he stayed for 17 years.
Until she was forty years old, Zhang Yan had a serious illness and died alone.
It has been recorded in the Spring of the Han PalaceAfter Zhang Yan's death, the palace maid cleaned her clothes and found that the former queen mother was still a virgin.
When the people in the palace heard this, they could only silently regret it, and after it reached the people, a temple was built for her in honor of the poor woman.
Zhang Yan has been at the mercy of others all her life, and although she has become a queen, she has never enjoyed the honor and status that she should enjoy as a queen.
For so many years, the only thing for her sake is probably Liu Ying, and in the years when she became the queen, only when Liu Ying was alive, she still had a happy time. After Liu Ying's death, Zhang Yan's life was doomed to a tragic ending.
