The Empress Dowager Fu Shi, that is, the famous filial piety of the Western Han Dynasty Fu Zhaoyi. Fu Zhaoyi's life is full of legends and ups and downs, she was born as an ordinary palace maid, and by her own efforts, she became the emperor's favorite concubine step by step and gave birth to the prince. With his extraordinary political insight and courage, Fu helped his grandson become the emperor and became the empress dowager herself.
Fu, (?) 2 years ago), a native of Wen County, Hanoi County (now Wen County, Henan Province), the concubine of Emperor Liu Zheng of the Han Yuan Dynasty, the biological mother of Liu Kang, the king of Dingtao Gong, and the grandmother of Liu Xin, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Fu's biological father died early, and his mother remarried, so she took care of Fu less. In order to make a living, Fu entered the palace when he was a teenager and became a palace maid. Fu was alert and intelligent, and was assigned to serve the Empress Dowager Shangguan, and was loved by the Empress Dowager Shangguan, who gave her the title of talent.
After Liu Zheng was canonized as the crown prince, he often came to the palace of the Empress Dowager Shangguan to ask for peace and get acquainted with the Fu family. Liu Zheng took a fancy to the very beautiful Fu family, and the Empress Dowager Shangguan simply gave the Fu family to Liu Zheng. Fu is smart, exquisite, and very popular in the palace, and he is also favored by Liu Zheng. In the first year of Huanglong (49 BC), Liu Zheng succeeded to the throne as Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty and named Fu as Jieyu.
Fu had a son and a daughter: Liu Kang, the king of Dingtao Gong, and the princess of Pingdu, who was especially loved by Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty. At that time, there was also a concubine Feng Yuan who was equally favored with the Fu family, and Feng Yuan also had a son, Liu Xing, the filial piety king of Zhongshan. Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was equally fond of Fu and Feng Yuan, so the relationship between the two was strained.
Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty favored both Fu and Feng Yuan, and these two favorite concubines also gave birth to princes. In order to express his love for these two favorite concubines equally, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty specially created a new title: Zhaoyi, and gave the two of them a seal at the same time. Zhaoyi was the second only concubine title to the queen at that time, the same position as the prime minister, and the lord was more noble than the princes.
In the first year of Jingning (33 years ago), Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty died, Fu Zhaoyi followed his son Liu Kang, King of Dingtao Gong, to the feudal country of Dingtao, according to the Han Dynasty system, Fu was respected as the Queen Mother of Dingtao (this Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, not the Queen Mother). Eleven years later, Liu Kang died and was succeeded by his son Liu Xin. Fu felt sorry for his grandson who lost his father at a young age, so he raised him personally, so the two had a deep relationship.
Because the emperor at that time, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, Liu Biao, had no children, so Liu Xin, the grandson of the Fu family, and Liu Xing, the son of Feng Zhaoyi (Feng Yuan), were selected to enter the palace at the same time and be examined as candidates for the crown prince. Fu and Feng Yuan were rivals in love when they were young, and now their respective descendants have become rivals for the heir to the throne, and Fu hates Feng Yuan even more.
In order to make his grandson the crown prince smoothly, Fu used the treasure to bribe Zhao Hede, the favorite concubine of Emperor Cheng of Han, and Wang Gen, the uncle of Emperor Cheng of Han, and Wang Gen, the uncle of Emperor Cheng of Han, and privately requested that Liu Xin be appointed as the crown prince. Zhao Hede and Wang Gen paid a lot of money, readily agreed to Fu's request, and praised Liu Xin in front of Emperor Cheng of Han. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty therefore valued Liu Xin very much, and made Liu Xin the crown prince in the second year.
In the second year of Suihe (7 BC), Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty died and was succeeded by Liu Xin, who was Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty. Liu Xin has always had a deep relationship with his grandmother Fu, and he is very grateful for Fu's efforts to become the heir to the throne, so soon after succeeding to the throne, he wanted to honor Fu as the empress dowager. Unexpectedly, this move was opposed by many ministers, because there was already a queen mother Wang Zhengjun (the biological mother of Emperor Han Cheng) in the palace at that time, and Fu was only the emperor's grandmother, and there was no precedent for the ancestral system to be canonized as a queen mother.
Fu Shi was greatly annoyed and questioned Liu Xin personally, and later simply asked Liu Xin to give her the honorific title of Queen Mother. Liu Xin had no choice but to beg the Queen Mother Wang Zhengjun. Wang Zhengjun had no choice but to issue an edict to posthumously crown Liu Xin's biological father (that is, Fu's son) Liu Kang as Emperor Gong, and then Liu Xin extended the meaning of "Spring and Autumn" "Mother is precious to son", respecting his grandmother Fu as the Empress Dowager Gong, and his biological mother Ding Ji as Empress Gong.
In the second year of Jianping (5 years ago), Emperor Han Ai honored the Empress Dowager Fu as the "Empress Dowager". In the fourth year of Jianping (the first 3 years), Fu was honored as the "Empress Dowager".
In his early years, Fu was good at winning people's hearts and was quite popular in the palace. However, when she became the queen mother, she became arrogant and arbitrary, and no one was in her sights. Empress Dowager Fu called Emperor Cheng of Han's mother, Wang Zhengjun, "concubine" (old woman). Empress Dowager Fu once competed with Feng Yuan, the mother of Liu Xing, the filial piety king of Zhongshan, for favor, and after she gained power, she recalled the past and resented her heart, so she framed Feng Yuan with the crime of cursing and forced her to commit suicide.
In the first year of Yuanshou (2 years ago), the Empress Dowager Fu died and was buried with Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty in Weiling, known as Empress Fu of Xiaoyuan. After the death of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang was in charge of the government, and in order to suppress other relatives, he instructed his subordinates to report the crimes of the Ding and Fu families. Wang Mang asked the Empress Dowager Fu to be the Queen Mother of Dingtao Gong and abolished her title of Empress Dowager.
Subsequently, Wang Mang used the excuse that Empress Dowager Fu "did not follow the way of concubines" during her lifetime, dug up her grave, took out the seal ribbon and destroyed it, changed it into a wooden coffin, removed the pearl and jade clothes, changed it into the clothes worn by the concubines of the vassal king, and buried it elsewhere.
Fu's calculations are quite embarrassing that it will end like this after death.
