Zhao Feiyan had physical defects, and Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty abandoned the government for her
Many beauties have emerged in Chinese history, and after a brief record of the official history or the affectionate stories in the wild history, there are very few beautiful names that have really been recorded.
One of the well-known allusions is "Huan Fei Yan Thin", which depicts two beauties from different dynasties, Yang Yuhuan and Zhao Feiyan, who have become a topic of conversation because of their different body types.
In ancient times, the Tang Dynasty was beautiful for its plumpness, and Yang Guifei was appreciated for her plump body. In the Han Dynasty, Zhao Feiyan was compared to Yang Guifei because of her slender figure.
So, what did Zhao Feiyan rely on to win the favor of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty? In addition to her beauty, she also has a tortuous life experience. Zhao Feiyan was born in Chang'an City, Beijing, and was abandoned by her parents at birth.
Her biological father, Feng Wanjin, committed adultery with Gu Su, the granddaughter of the king of Jiangdu, which made her identity unjustifiable. However, it was this tortuous life experience that made Zhao Feiyan more favored by the emperor.
Feng Wanjin, a co-legal member of the Jiangdu Palace, wants to establish contact with the granddaughter of the Jiangdu Wang, and his handsome appearance is not the only key, he also needs to find a way to be introduced.
And this road is through the husband of the Gusu lord, Zhao Man, the lieutenant of Jiangdu. However, the relationship is further complicated by rumors of an unusual homosexual relationship between Zhao Man and Feng Wanjin.
Zhao Feiyan, who was once abandoned, was rediscovered by her parents three days later by virtue of her parents' magical sense of their children. Looking at the baby with a weak breath, Zhao Feiyan's parents couldn't suppress their love for their own flesh and blood, took her home, and passed her on to a family surnamed Zhao in the same village, and named her Zhao Yizhu.
Fate made people, Zhao Yizhu suffered a life and death catastrophe when he was born due to his parents, although he saved his life, but also left the root of the disease. Compared with her peers, Zhao Feiyan always seemed the shortest and weakest, which made her parents feel very guilty.
However, as Zhao Feiyan's appearance gradually grew, from a short ugly duckling to a weak and boneless beauty, the root of the disease that once plagued her became a weapon that made her stand out among many beauties.
Zhao Yizhu, who is in the prime of cardamom, has been out of the country since he was thirteen or fourteen years old. Under the arrangement of her parents, she became a palace maid in Princess Yang's mansion as a woman from a good family.
Princess Yang'a was attracted by Zhao Yizhu's beauty and flexibility, so she let her learn singing and dancing in the mansion. Zhao Yizhu's light body danced, like a swallow flying phoenix dance, so it was named "Feiyan".
Zhao Feiyan, a woman who won the emperor's favor with her physical defects. In 18 BC, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty traveled to Princess Yang's mansion, and Princess Yang'a gathered the adopted daughters in the mansion to let Emperor Han Cheng choose.
At that time, Zhao Feiyan was in her youth, as beautiful as a hibiscus out of the water, she stood out from many adopted daughters with her weak and boneless posture and light dancing posture with her physical defects, and won the favor of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty.
From then on, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty no longer had an early dynasty, and devoted himself to the life of the harem, hoping to increase his heirs.
At the suggestion of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, Princess Yang'a pushed the boat down the river and presented Zhao Feiyan to the emperor. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty introduced her into the palace, named Jieyu, and was fortunate every day, treating the three thousand concubines in the harem as nothing, and favoring Zhao Feiyan alone, and even neglecting the government because of this.
All of a sudden, Zhao Feiyan's infinite scenery attracted countless people's eyes and jealousy, and concubines such as Queen Xu and Ban Jieyu regarded her as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. Zhao Feiyan came from a humble background and could only rely on the mercy of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, but Empress Xu and others did not take her to heart and embarrassed her everywhere.
What's more, Emperor Han Cheng's favor comes and goes, and Zhao Feiyan knows that he can't resist the exclusion and competition of the harem alone. So, she decided to win over her ally, her sister Zhao Hede.
Different from his sister Zhao Feiyan's delicateness, Zhao Hede has a plump body, smooth skin, and a unique aroma all over his body, which has a charm of beauty. As soon as Emperor Cheng of Han saw Zhao Hede, he was deeply attracted by her and included her in the harem.
Zhao Feiyan dedicated her sister Zhao Hede to Emperor Cheng of Han, hoping to get more support in the harem and avoid being alone. Although the two sisters were deeply favored by the emperor, even exceeding the etiquette system, as long as Empress Xu was not at fault, they could not surpass the status of the empress.
However, who would have thought that Empress Xu's sister would curse her pregnant concubine with a witch Gu, which touched the bottom line of Emperor Han Cheng. He was furious, deposed Empress Xu and sent her to the cold palace.
Zhao Feiyan finally managed to take down her biggest opponent in the harem, but this was only the beginning. The queen was abolished, and there was no leader in the harem, and Zhao Feiyan was named the queen by virtue of the emperor's favor and exposing the merits of Empress Xu, and since then she has become one person under the harem and above ten thousand people.
The ambitious snake of greed is generally difficult to satisfy, but the extremes of things must be opposed, and the prosperity must decline. When Zhao Feiyan was still a little Jieyu, although she was deeply favored by the emperor, she was still subject to all kinds of restrictions and challenges.
At that time, a seed of longing for power was planted in her heart. Now, she has become the queen, and although the people in the harem act according to her face, this still does not satisfy her ambitions.
Zhao Feiyan has been trying to expand her power, even extending her hand to the front court. In the first year of Suihe, a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, and treasured cloth suddenly poured into the private treasury of Zhao Feiyan's sisters.
It turned out that the money came from the grandmother of Liu Xin, the nephew of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty. In order to reap the benefits, the Zhao Feiyan sisters helped Liu Xin successfully become the crown prince. Zhao Feiyan thought that she had made a good calculation, because Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty had no children, so she threaded the needle and helped Liu Xin become the prince.
In this way, she can not only get wealth, but also leave a favor for the future new king.
In the second year of Liu Xin becoming the crown prince, the world was unpredictable, but Emperor Han Cheng died suddenly at the age of 46. His sudden death shocked the entire government and the opposition, and everyone blamed him for dying at the hands of Zhao Hede.
Even Zhao Feiyan couldn't protect her sister, and Zhao Hede finally chose to commit suicide. Liu Xin ascended the throne under such circumstances, and he honored Zhao Feiyan as the empress dowager and made her a son of her maternal family.
However, this temporary scenery did not last long, and the favor of the Zhao sisters caused many dissatisfaction in the previous dynasty, especially the new monarch Liu Xin, who paid more attention to contacting the ministers. A few months later, Emperor Wai demoted Zhao Feiyan's brother to a concubine under the minister's ** and exiled him to other places.
However, out of royal dignity and Zhao Feiyan's support, Zhao Feiyan retained the position of the queen mother. This incident played a role in knocking Zhao Feiyan on the mountain, and she didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore.
Looking back at Zhao Feiyan's life, I have to sigh at the miracle of fate. She miraculously survived in the wilderness, and although she was weak, she was favored by the emperor because of Princess Yang'a's favor.
In the end, Queen Xu's mistake made her the queen. However, the desire is endless, but Zhao Feiyan has no long-term vision, she relies on the favor of Emperor Han Cheng to act arbitrarily, attracting the dissatisfaction and angry scolding of the courtiers.
What's even more regrettable is that for the sake of short-term beauty, she took polypyope pills and caused infertility. History always judges Zhao Feiyan's arrogance from the perspective of an all-knowing, if we are in Zhao Feiyan's position, can we resist the ** in front of us?
