This is a singer of the Hou Mansion,
Once favored to write legends.
Abide by the heart of the town
Laugh at the prosperity and prosperity of the dynasty.
Wei Zifu, as the second empress of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, has always been the queen of the historical god and the queen of the queen of the post-court life.
The popularity of her topic comes from: the singer is the queen, she is favored to cover the ancient and modern, his face is twilight, and he is white and dead.
The joys, sorrows, and final encounters of her life resonate most with the majority of women.
For the next thirty-eight years, Wei Zifu has two most commendable points:
brought the strongest dowry group, the "Imperial Double Wall" Wei Qing and Huo Quai, to repel the Huns.
Jiafu Deruos", a generation of virtuous ** stationed in Weiyang Palace, maintained the peace and tranquility of the harem for decades.
With Wei Zifu coming to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the young Western Han Dynasty also reached its peak.
The legendary "Pamper".
"There is no joy in giving birth to a man, there is no anger in giving birth to a girl, and I don't see Wei Zifu dominating the world! ”
This is a "Song of Empress Wei" that was circulated all over the world at that time, and the people of the world composed it because of Wei Zifu.
The meaning of this song is: Don't be too happy when you give birth to a boy, and don't be discouraged when you give birth to a girl, don't you see that although Wei Zifu is a woman, he has become the queen of the world, and the whole family is rich, and many men are not comparable?
The example of Wei Zifu's counterattack from a singer to a queen changed the Western Han society, which was transitioning from slavery to feudalism, and the idea that women in the world were inferior to men.
When the two were in harmony, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave the "great favor" to this singer queen and became a legend in the world.
Reuse the Wei family
Wei Zifu has a total of six brothers and sisters, all of whom have become cronies around the emperor.
The eldest brother, Wei Changjun, was appointed as a servant;
The eldest sister, Wei Junru, married the servant Gongsun He as his wife, and Gongsun He was reused because of this, and finally became the prime minister;
The second sister Wei Shao'er, because she had a personal relationship with Chen Zhang (the great-grandson of Qu Rebellion Hou Chen Ping), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned Chen Zhang, began to reuse him, and appointed him as a James;
his younger brother Wei Qing was promoted to the post of Jianzhang Supervisor and Dazhong Doctor, and later became a general and a great Sima;
The younger brother Wei Guang, who later became a general, only had his younger brother Wei Bu, and there are few records in the history books of his later development.
The elder sister is the queen, and the younger brother marries the princess. Wei Zifu's favor made the Wei family flourish for a while, and they embarked on the road of glory and wealth like a rocket. Later, with the blessing of military merits, the Wei family won the ultimate glory of five marquisAffection for the birth of the firstborn
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was 29 years old, he waited for the birth of the emperor's eldest son, Liu Ju. Only at this age can he have a son, which is considered an advanced age in the Han Dynasty, and the good mood of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is self-evident.
He ordered the most famous writers at that time, Mei Gao and Dongfang Shuo, to write two edicts respectively, "The Birth of the Crown Prince" and "Blessing for the Establishment of the Emperor", to spread the importance and love of the emperor to this prince, and to be known all over the world.
In order to thank the first prince given to him by God, Emperor Wu built the shrine of the god of marriage and childbirth, Gao Yu (Jumang), and solemnly worshipped.
The courtiers were also happy for the birth of the eldest son of the Han Emperor, who was more than ten years late.
Amnesty for the world to canonize the queen
When Wei Zifu was appointed as the queen, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued a special edict, which said:
I heard that the heavens and the earth do not change, and the application cannot be realized; Yin and yang remain unchanged, and things are not smooth. Yi said: "Only when the situation is flexible will the spirit of the people be lifted." The poem says: "Through the changes of heaven and earth without losing the way, choose the good and follow it." I admire Tang Yu and am optimistic about Yin Zhou, and I am willing to learn from the lessons of history as a reference. Now the amnesty of the world and the beginning of the change with the people. Some of them were prosecuted for committing crimes and fleeing for fear of crime and owing official property for a long time, and the incident occurred three years before Emperor Xiaojing, and they were exempted from treatment. ”
After defending the son, the amnesty of the queen became the Han system.
Difficult history of ascendancy
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's favor for Wei Zifu did not come from love at first sight, but from the birth of an heir.
"Last night the wind opened the dew peach, and the moon wheel in the front hall of Weiyang was high. Pingyang singing and dancing is a new favor, and the spring cold outside the curtain gives brocade robes. ”
This "Spring Palace Song" by Wang Changling of the Tang Dynasty depicts the scene of Wei Zifu's initial favor.
Wei Zifu's beauty is not like Mrs. Li's peerless beauty, captivating the city and the country, and it can be described in eight words: black hair like clouds, fragrant cheeks like snow.
In 139 BC, the eighteen-year-old Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to Bashang to perform a ritual of purification, and when he returned, he met Wei Zifu in the house of his sister Princess Pingyang.
Among more than a dozen beauties who are good at singing and dancing, Wei Zifu successfully attracted this young emperor with a singing voice and beautiful appearance.
In the small Shangyixuan car, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was fortunate to Wei Zifu.
This time for a short period of time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy, and generously rewarded his sister's daughter, grateful for her kindness in introducing Wei Zifu.
When he returned to the palace, Wei Zifu was brought into the palace.
In the following year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was busy dealing with complicated state affairs, busy dealing with the brutal queen Gillian, and forgot all about the beauty of Wei Zifu.
The second time Wei Zifu saw the emperor was when he was about to leave the palace. Without the emperor's favor, Wei Zifu was unable to cross the palace every day, and asked to leave the palace to fend for himself. Facing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Zifu couldn't help himself, crying pear blossoms with rain.
Her tears and sadness touched Emperor Wu of Han at once, and Emperor Wu of Han suddenly felt pity and blessed her again.
This time, Wei Zifu was particularly lucky and became pregnant.
Faced with the situation that Empress Chen had no children for several years and the pressure of no successor to the throne, Wei Zifu's pregnancy this time made Emperor Wu of Han extremely happy, so he began to favor Wei Zifu.
gave birth to three daughters in succession, and Wei Zifu went from a favored palace maid to a wife second only to the queen.
With Empress Chen deeply involved in the "witch case", with the birth of her son Liu Ju, the time has come for Wei Zifu to be crowned queen.
In 128 B.C., ten years after entering the palace, Wei Zifu's mother was canonized as the queen in the letter of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Solve the three major problems of the empire on your own
After succeeding to the throne, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty inherited a country with a full treasury and strong soldiers, and there were still four problems in front of him:
One is the pressure of the heir to the throne, as the emperor has no children for many years after marriage, he has to face the pressure of no one to inherit the throne.
The second is the pressure of the Dou family, the grandmother Empress Dowager Dou interfered in the government affairs, resulting in the ambitious Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the new policy reform could not be implemented smoothly, and the mother-in-law Dou Taizhu relied on the merit of "policy establishment", constantly interfering in the married life of the emperor and the queen, asking for property, so that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a hard time.
The third is the foreign policy of the Han and the Hungarians, starting from the Han Gaozu, and in the following 70 years, the Han Dynasty has been adopting a policy of harmony with the Xiongnu, sacrificing women's happiness to maintain the peaceful coexistence of the two countries.
One punch opens, lest a hundred punches come" was the dream of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's first consul.
Fourth, the hidden dangers of the sealing system are not complete. The first two emperors, Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han, implemented a series of weakening policies for the feudal system, but they still could not ** the hidden dangers brought by this system, the ambitions of local princes and kings were still there, and the risk of civil strife in the empire was still there.
With the appearance of Wei Zifu, by the time she settled in Weiyang Palace, the first three problems were solved.
The first issue of the heir, with the birth of the emperor's eldest son Liu Ju, the pressure of the heir suddenly dissipated, which greatly relieved Emperor Wu of Han.
The second Dou problem, with the help of Wei Zifu's favor, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed Empress Chen, who he didn't like, and vigorously promoted the Wei brothers as cronies, gradually cultivating his own power, and getting rid of the residual prestige left by the Empress Dowager Dou.
In the third Han-Hungarian diplomatic crisis, Wei Zifu brought the "imperial double" Wei Qing and Huo Quai. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty led Wei Qing and Huo Qubing as the head of the Wei family's relatives, dressed in military uniforms, waved their troops to the north, relying on the determination of personal talent and violent bones, after more than ten births and deaths, he sealed ten thousand households and did not stop, and wrote seven expeditions for the Han Dynasty, climbed the Yan Mountain in Khotan, went deep into the Xiongnu six times, and set up a county in the Qilian Mountain.
The duel between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu resulted in a temporary victory, establishing the confidence that China would win.
The fourth hidden danger problem of the sub-feudal system, the master father who proposed the clever solution of the "Tui En Order", also appeared in the court during the period when Wei Zifu was "favored".
The harmonious relationship between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wei Zifu for more than ten years was very important to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
To oneself, high-spirited;
At home, harmony and beauty;
In the country, strong and stable.
Wei Zifu can be said to be a "prosperous man" and "prosperous world" virtuous queen.
The reason why Wei Zifu is "favored".
Her favor is not love at first sight, not a spur of the moment;
Her great favor is the credit for giving birth to an heir;
Her favor is a capable family force standing behind her;
Her great favor is the ability to deal with things with prudence and generosity;
Under these reasons, Wei Zifu has been able to stay in the back position for 38 years, and she is definitely not a simple-minded woman, she has her own advantages and calculations.
