In Chinese history books, "Qin Emperor and Han Wu" have been compared together, which shows that Emperor Wu of Han 's achievements are comparable to that of the Emperor of the Eternal Emperor Qin Shihuang .
With the accumulation of the early Han Dynasty and his own great talent, Emperor Wu of Han built a large-scale internal construction and expanded his territory externally, and used Confucianism to rectify the dynasty, creating a very brilliant period in Chinese history, and Emperor Wu of Han was the general representative of this period.
Although Emperor Wu of Han achieved many great achievements in politics, he looked like a "scumbag" in his personal emotional life. There were four wives whom Emperor Wu of Han whom he loved deeply, but their love was basically when they were young and beautiful. When they were old and old, they could not escape the fate of being abandoned, and some even ended up miserably.
childhood sweetheart Chen Ajiao
At first, Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che was not Emperor Jing of Han 's favorite prince, and his mother's status was naturally not very high. But later, after the operation of Liu Piao and his mother, Liu Che became the prince.
The eldest princess Liu Piao is very popular with the emperor and is already enjoying glory and wealth, but she is not satisfied and always wants to go to the next level. So, she first found the prince at that time, hoping that he could marry his daughter Chen Ajiao, so that her status could also rise.
But at that time, the prince's mother saw through the idea of Princess at a glance and did not agree to the marriage. Liu Piao was defeated by the prince and instead threw an olive branch to Liu Che's mother. Since no one was optimistic about Liu Che and his son at that time, the eldest princess’s sudden concern, so they would not miss it.
Liu Piao also asked Liu Che if he likes Ah Jiao. Liu Che said seriously: "If I can marry Ah Jiao, I am willing to build a golden house for her to live in." This is the source of Golden House Hidden Jiao . After forming an interest alliance, the eldest princess tried every means to seriously hurt the then crown prince in front of the emperor, praising Liu Che as a benevolent prince. Not long after, the prince was indeed deposed, and Liu Che became the new prince and later successfully ascended the throne. After firmly taking the position of emperor, Liu Che was also grateful to the eldest princess and his family and enthroned Chen Ajiao as the queen. At this time, the eldest princess Liu Piao also achieved her goal, but she often regarded herself as the emperor's benefactor, which made Liu Che feel very uncomfortable. In addition, after becoming the queen, Chen Ajiao became increasingly reluctant to see Liu Che being kind to others and often said bad things about others in his ears.
For a long time, Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che did not like Chen Ajiao so much. Later he met Wei Zifu . This young woman made Liu Che fall again, but made Chen Ajiao jealous and wanted to regain favor.
An anxious Chen Ajiao saw that the emperor became more and more indifferent to her, so she went to the hospital in an emergency, believed in the witchcraft of folk sorcerers, and wanted to use aphrodisiacs and spells to lock the emperor by her side. Later, the incident was exposed, and Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che was furious and directly deposed Chen Ajiao's position as queen and even drove her into the cold palace.
Although it is in the cold palace, my mother Liu Piao can still take care of her frequently, so it will not be too miserable. But later, with Liu Piao's death, Chen Ajiao's living standards also plummeted and she eventually died alone.
Common people Wei Zifu
Compared with Chen Ajiao, Wei Zifu's identity is much humble. She was originally a singer from Princess Pingyang's family. When Emperor Wu of Han visited Princess Pingyang, he saw that Wei Zifu was very handsome and could play the piano and sing. He loved it very much.
In order to win the emperor's favor, Princess Pingyang sent Wei Zifu into the palace. Wei Zifu's family became noble because of this. Her younger brother Wei Qing became a famous general in the world, and her nephew Huo Qubing also got the opportunity to fight on the battlefield.
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing made great contributions to the stability of the border of Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Wu of Han also gave them generals and granted titles to marquis. Later, Wei Zifu's son, Liu Ju, was also crowned the crown prince.For a time, the Wei family became the most powerful family of the dynasty.
However, with Huo Qubing and Wei Qing passing away one after another, Wei Zifu became older and youthful, and the Wei family was no longer so favored.
Later, Wei Zifu's nephew Gongsun Jingsheng had an affair with Princess Yangshi, and he also used witchcraft to curse Emperor Wu of Han, which directly led to the execution of dozens of people including Wei Zifu's brother-in-law, who was also the prime minister at that time, and dozens of people including Wei Qing's eldest son were executed. After the incident of
, the foundation of the Wei clan was shaken, and those who were interested criticized the prince Liu Ju everywhere. Once, Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty favored him, Jiang Chong, and then framed the prince with the witchcraft. Liu Ju couldn't bear it anymore and the cavalry killed Jiang Chong.
Ai Chen was killed. Emperor Wu of Han suspected that Liu Ju had the intention of rebelling, so he set up a large army to attack him. At this time, Liu Ju had no strength to fight against Emperor Wu of Han, and he committed suicide after his defeat. After his son died, the disheartened Wei Zifu also committed suicide. In order to prevent the breeding of hatred, Emperor Wu of Han slaughtered all the prince Liu Ju family.
can sing and dance Mrs. Li
Mrs. Li's brother is Western Han famous musician Li Yannian, so she has been proficient in music since she was a child.
In the early years, Li Yannian was castrated for committing the law and was punished to raise dogs in the palace. Because he is good at music, he is often called to perform new works for Emperor Wu of Han.
Once, Li Yannian sang in the song: "There are beautiful women in the north, graceful and graceful, looking back at the overthrow of the city; looking back can overthrow the country." After hearing this, Emperor Wu of Han sighed, "Is there really such a beauties in the world?" When Princess Pingyang heard this, she recommended Li Yannian's sister, Mrs. Li, to the emperor.
Han Emperor Wu was very happy and immediately asked someone to bring Mrs. Li over. After seeing her, Emperor Wu of Han found that she was really beautiful and could sing and dance. He was very happy and took her as his concubine. Not long after, Mrs. Li gave birth to a prince for Emperor Wu of Han, which made Emperor Wu of Han very happy.
Later, Mrs. Li was seriously ill and Emperor Wu of Han came to visit. Mrs. Li covered her quilt and refused, "I have been ill for a long time and her appearance has changed drastically. I cannot meet Your Majesty. I also ask Your Majesty to take good care of our son." Emperor Wu of Han did not agree and insisted on meeting again. Mrs. Li kept sighing and crying, and stopped talking. So Emperor Wu of Han, who had an unhappy face, left.
Not long after, Mrs. Li died. What happened later was indeed as she thought. Emperor Wu of Han posthumously named her Empress Xiaowu, and her family had a good home.
born with a strange man Lady Gouyi
According to legend, Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che passed by Hejianguo while hunting. The "Automatic Person" who was divining good and bad luck around him told him that there was a strange woman here, so Emperor Wu of Han ordered everyone to search.
As expected, not long after, the soldiers found a young and beautiful woman in the local area. She had clenched her hands since she was a child and could not bend and stretched. After seeing this strange woman, Emperor Wu of Han personally pushed away her hands and saw that there was a small jade hook in the center of her palm.
Then, Emperor Wu of Han brought her back to the palace and took her as a concubine, known as Lady Gouyi, which is Zhao's .
"Han Shu " records that when Emperor Wu of Han was cultivating in Ganquan Palace, he specially ordered Zhao to serve him. It was just that Zhao made a mistake here, and Emperor Wu of Han scolded her fiercely, causing her to die of depression. In the spring of the second year of AD, Emperor Wu of Han was no longer young. Considering his own funeral, he made Liu Fuling, the son of Mrs. Gouyi, the crown prince. Just a few days after he was enthroned, Emperor Wu of Han passed away. At this time, Liu Fuling, who was only eight years old, ascended the throne, namely Emperor Zhao of Han.
Conclusion
The four wives of Emperor Wu of Han all have one common characteristic, that is, they were very favored when they were young and beautiful, but later they died or were demoted because of some things, and their fate was not very good.
It can be seen from this that most women around the emperor are cautious as if walking on thin ice, but it is difficult to have a good ending. In the heart of a king, the throne is always ranked first, and the others are clouds and smoke.
