As the emperor's wife, the queen plays an important role in feudal society, and can sit beside the emperor to accept the worship of all the people in the world.
Once the daughter of the family becomes the queen, the whole family will benefit from this, if the queen gives birth to the prince, then the identity of the prince is the son-in-law, according to the patriarchal system, it is very likely to inherit the throne in the future, so that the status of the queen's family will also be qualitatively improved.
However, the emperor was also unable to marry independently at the beginning, and most of his original wives were appointed by their parentsAnd the selection criteria of the queen are also based on dignified appearance, virtuous and virtuous, so the appearance is naturally unsatisfactory, and it is not as good as the favorite concubine of the Israeli servant.
Once the queen falls out of favor and is abolished, the ending will be extremely tragic, or be imprisoned, or the green lantern ancient Buddha, spend the remaining life, or be ordered to commit suicide, such as the original queen Chen of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who lived alone in the Changmen Palace after being deposed, and finally died of depression.
Empress Chen is the daughter of Liu Concubine, the chief princess of the pavilion, and the original queen of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Because Liu Concubine was a great contributor to Liu Che's ascension to the throne, coupled with Empress Chen's jealous nature, she was favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's harem, but unfortunately she was never able to give birth to a child to consolidate the throne, which led to Liu Che's favor for her slowly decaying, so that she was deposed and retired to Changmen Palace.
It is said that Empress Chen once spent 100 catties ** to buy wine for Sima Xiangru and his wife Zhuo Wenjun, so as to seek a fu to save Liu Che's mind, this is the famous work "Changmen Fu", which is full of Queen Chen's heartache and desolation in Changmen.
In the preface to this fu, it is said that Liu Che was very moved after reading this fu, and the old relationship with Empress Chen was rekindled, but in the historical records, Empress Chen did not regain Liu Che's favorInstead, after living lonely and miserable in Nagato Palace for more than ten years, he died in depression.
What was the root cause of Empress Chen's depose? is a fall from grace, as long as he loses the emperor's favor, then he has a hundred or a thousand reasons to be abolished, such as childlessness and jealousy.
Liu Che transferred the favor from Empress Chen to Wei Zifu, which made the already arrogant Empress Chen completely lose her mind, if Liu Che just wanted to be fresh for a while, then Empress Chen could still bear it, after all, after Wei Zifu entered the palace, he was forgotten by Liu Che.
If it weren't for Liu Che's whim and choice to let a group of palace people out of the palace, he might never have thought of Wei Zifu, but Wei Zifu, who was crying so much, saw Liu Che after all, and soon after, the news of Wei Zifu's pregnancy came out of the palace.
This was a great blow to Empress ChenShe has been married to Liu Che for more than ten years, and she tried her best to get pregnantThe beautiful things she couldn't think about day and night were so easy for Wei Zifu, a cheap slave, that Queen Chen didn't go crazy? So Queen Chen cried and made trouble, which made Liu Che annoyed.
Emperors are ruthless people, and Empress Chen is undoubtedly trying to wear down Liu Che's little patience that she has left, and finally learnsQueen Chen dared to use the technique of overwhelming victory, and used the "woman's flattery" to invite petsLiu Che issued an edict of abolition.
The ribbon representing the power and identity of the empress was withdrawn, and Empress Chen moved to Changmen Palace, and the relationship between husband and wife for more than ten years came to an end.
Two years after Empress Chen was deposed, Wei Zifu gave birth to the first prince Liu Che Liu Ju, you must know that Liu Che was twenty-nine years old at this time, and the birth of the prince made him ecstatic, which not only means that he has the ability to give birth to a son, but also represents that there are successors to the Han Dynasty, and his throne can sit more stable.
Wei Zifu's mother became the most noble woman in the Han Dynasty by virtue of her son.
As the saying goes, one person gets the Tao, the chicken dog **, Wei Zifu was able to canonize the queen, her mother's family also enjoyed the honor, the eldest sister Wei Junru married the servant Sun He; The second sister had an affair with Chen Zhang, so Liu Che made Chen Zhang noble; Wei Qing was promoted to Taizhong doctor by Liu Che, and later married the former hostess Princess Pingyang.
The Wei family is noble because of Wei Zifu, but Wei Zifu has always been cautious and tried his best to fulfill his duties as the queen, but as he grows older, Wei Zifu's appearance and charm are no longer as good as back then, and Liu Che's interest in Wei Zifu is also declining.
Fortunately, Wei Zifu's son Liu Yi is the crown prince, even if Liu Che dotes on Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Hook Yi, as long as Wei Zifu does not make a big mistake, he cannot depose the queen at will.
Wei Zifu's cleverness lies in the fact that she learned the lessons of her predecessor, Empress ChenThe concubines who favored Liu Che never showed jealousy, but conscientiously managed the affairs of the harem with the image of a gentle and frugal ladySo that Liu Che doesn't have to worry about the trivial matters of the harem.
It is precisely because of this that although Liu Che has changed a lot of new loves, he has never moved his mind after the abolition, but with the death of Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing one after another, Wei Zifu and the crown prince Liu Ju have lost their strong backers, and the crisis is inevitable.
The witch plague broke out, in order to help his son survive the disaster, Wei Zifu agreed that Liu Ju would call the queen's middle stable car driver and the guards of Changle Palace, take the arsenal of weapons, and Jiang Chong and others in Chang'an City to start a fierce battle, and finally Jiang Chong was killed, and the wizard was burned to death.
Witch Gu, military power, this undoubtedly touched Liu Che's sensitive nerves, he sent troops to suppress the prince, Liu Yi was outnumbered and fled, at the same time, Liu Che sent someone to take back the queen's seal in the hands of Wei Zifu, Wei Zifu saw that things had reached this point, so he committed suicide.
Whether it is Empress Chen or Empress Wei, in the end, they are not qualified to sacrifice to the Temple of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in fact,It is Mrs. Li who really deserves to enjoy the sacrifice in the temple of Emperor WuWhen Huo Guang was in power, in accordance with the ordinary wishes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he posthumously honored Mrs. Li as Empress Xiaowu.
Li came from a humble background, originally an artist who took singing and dancing as his profession, and later his brother Li Yannian was punished by the palace for breaking the law and raising a dog in the palace.
The idiom Alluring the City and the Country comes from a performance by Li Yannian for Liu CheIt was precisely because of this performance that his sister Li was able to enter the palace to serve Liu Che. Liu Che was very fond of the Li family who was "wonderful and good at dancing", and later the Li family also gave birth to a son Liu Che for Liu Che, the king of Changyi.
Li is a woman who lives transparently, and this trait is vividly reflected in one thing. When Li was seriously ill, Liu Che visited her with concern, but Li covered the quilt and did not let Liu Che see her face, and only entrusted his son and brother to Liu Che.
Liu Che was very angry and insisted on seeing Li, but Li just turned his face and sighed and wept, and Li's actions made Liu Che very unhappy.
After Liu Che left, a sister asked Li why he did this, and Li's answer fully reflected her intelligence"Those who do things with lust love relaxation, love relaxation when they are weak, and love relaxation is gracious. ”The reason why Li didn't want Liu Che to see her haggard face was because he wanted to leave the most beautiful appearance in Liu Che's heart.
Li saw through the emperor's love, she was favored by Liu Che because of her beauty, and when she was no longer beautiful, Liu Che would not spoil her, and if her favor decreased, she would naturally not take care of her son and brother.
If not, the Li family in Liu Che's heart is still the beautiful woman at the beginning, even if the Li family is dead, thinking of her, Liu Che will still be throbbing, nostalgic for the days when the beauty was in his arms, and retain Liu Che's thoughts and favor, Li's family will naturally be taken care of, from this point of view, Li is undoubtedly a smart person.
