Wang Huan, this name may not be so well-known, but if you say that she is the biological mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the empress of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and the first queen in Chinese history to marry for the second time, you may have a slight impression.
Wang Huan's life is a transformation from ordinary to legendary, how did she do it? What advantages does she have that allows her to be promoted from an ordinary village woman to a queen with supreme power?
Let's take a look. Wang Wan was born in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, her father Wang Zhong was a commoner in Huaili (now Xingping, Shaanxi), and her mother was the granddaughter of Yan Wang Zang Di, named Zang Er.
Although Wang Huan's family has some aristocratic blood, her family is not wealthy, and there is nothing special about her childhood, living a simple life, just like an ordinary peasant girl.
As an adult, she married Jin Wangsun and gave birth to a daughter, Jin Customs. Her life should have been so uneventful until a fortune teller appeared. Wang Huan's mother, Zang Er, found a scholar Yao Weng to meet her children.
Yao Weng saw Wang Huan's extraordinary face and predicted that she would give birth to a son of heaven and become a noble person.
Zang Er was ecstatic, and Wang Wan was also very moved by this. So, Zang Er tried her best to take Wang Wan back from King Jin's grandson's house and sent her to the palace. And the crown prince is the later Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty.
Wang Wan won the love of the crown prince and gave birth to three daughters and a son, who was later Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Since then, Wang Wan has started her unusual second marriage, her first marriage was forcibly ended by her mother, and her second marriage was arranged for her by her mother.
1.Wang Huan's second marriage: power or love? Although we can't be sure of her motives, her second marriage undoubtedly showed some of her unique qualities, which may have also been important factors in her transformation from an ordinary village woman to an empress.
2.Extraordinary Wisdom: Wang Huan's wisdom is one of her great strengths, and it is also an important capital for her survival and development in the court. Not only did she win the prince's heart, but she was also his confidant.
Not only can she share joy with the prince, but she can also plan the future with the prince. She not only gave birth to children for the crown prince, but also provided him with important support and assistance.
With her resourcefulness and wisdom, Wang Wan successfully solved problems for the crown prince, showing the depth and wisdom of a queen from the inside out. In the face of the prince's anger caused by the assassination of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, Wang Huan's brother Wang Xin, through Zou Yang's recommendation, successfully entered the palace to persuade the prince, and finally saved the king of Liang from being killed, so that the prince was full of gratitude to her and Wang Xin.
In addition, Wang Wan is not only a submissive wife, she knows how to advise the prince at critical moments, while also giving him plenty of freedom. Even if the crown prince had other concubines and sons, Wang Wan would not feel jealous or upset because she was convinced of her place in the prince's heart and was confident in the talent of her son Liu Che.
On the road to becoming the crown prince's queen, Wang Wan not only did not force the prince's favor, but won the prince's heart with her gentleness and virtue. Even in the competition with the crown prince's eldest son, Liu Rong, she did not interfere with the prince's decision, but stood by the prince's side in the role of the most suitable queen and the most reliable companion.
Although the road to the second marriage was not smooth, and the relationship between Wang Wan and the crown prince also experienced some crises and challenges, her tenacity and wisdom allowed her to successfully overcome these difficulties.
Liu Huan wanted to marry her daughter to Liu Che and become the future queen, but Wang Wan agreed to the marriage, not to cater to Liu Che, but to protect her son.
She knew very well that if Liu Rong's daughter married Liu Rong, Liu Rong would be supported by Liu Rong, and Liu Che would be in danger; If Liu Che's daughter marries Liu Che, Liu Che will be supported by Liu Che, and Liu Rong will be at a disadvantage.
Although Wang Huan's move angered Liu Rong's biological mother Li Ji, it won more trust from the crown prince Liu Qi and Liu Che's closeness. This undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for her son's future for Wang Huan.
Wang Huan, a second-married woman, with her wisdom and superb means, under the operation of her mother and Xiangshi, was successfully promoted to the empress of the Han Dynasty, and even the empress dowager, which is legendary.
And her son Liu Che, also known as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, became one of the outstanding emperors in Chinese history because of her teaching and influence.
