Ancient women, due to various restrictions, were unable to achieve their own careers. Most of them could only rely on men, get married and have children, and revolve around family activities for life. If they want to enjoy prosperity and wealth, there is only one way, and that is to get married. The family aristocrat, entered the harem, but once he became the emperor’s concubine, although he lived a rich life, he was involved in a more sinister struggle, and this queen was still in power for thirty-eight years. As the second queen to manage the harem, it can be seen that this woman has a very strong ability, but she did a wrong thing in the final stage and had to commit suicide. she is the Queen Wei Zifu in the Western Han Dynasty.
Wei Zifu was born in the home of ordinary people. His mother was a servant of the official family. Since childhood, Wei Zifu lived with her mother, in order to allow Wei Zifu to be here. When the family survived, her mother sent her to the Houfu to practice singing and dancing. After she finished her studies, she stayed in the Houfu. So Wei Zifu became a singer in the Houfu and sang for the people in the Houfu. If guests come and go, they will dress more neatly and perform dances. Naturally, officials or members of the royal family can communicate with the Hou Mansion. This also provides an opportunity for Wei Zifu. One day, Liu Che of the prince has gone. To worship the ancestors, on the way back to the palace, I remembered the eldest sister Princess Pingyang who had married into the Hou Mansion, so she stopped by to visit. Princess Pingyang felt that her younger brother had no children yet, so she chose several beauties, hoping that Liu Che could pamper these beauties and add incense to the royal family. , After Liu Che entered the Hou Mansion, Princess Pingyang led these beauties to greet him, But Liu Che had no feeling for these beauties , Princess Pingyang saw this and had to give up.
After the banquet began, Wei Zifu and a group of singers went to the stage to sing and dance. Liu Che saw that only Wei Zifu entered his eyes, thinking that this woman could sing good. Pingyang princess also saw Liu Che’s thoughts, so after the banquet was over, she arranged for Wei Zifu to serve. spoiled Wei Zifu that night, Liu Che had a beauty, Feeling very happy, she rewarded Princess Pingyang's family again. Princess Pingyang knew that her brother was really moved, so she asked Wei Zifu to enter the palace. Liu Che naturally agreed, and Wei Zifu's identity changed. When she left the Hou Mansion, she was still a little bit reluctant. After all, after living in the Hou Mansion for many years, Princess Pingyang comforted her and let her live a good life in the palace. If she is canonized as a noble concubine in the future, she hopes to remember the Hou Mansion. As if Princess Pingyang can predict the future, Wei Zifu will not only become a noble concubine, but also a queen in charge of the harem.
After Wei Zifu entered the palace, he found that there were many concubines and a queen had been established. Knowing that the emperor’s love for her would not last long, what should I do? During the whole year of her entering the palace, the emperor never pampered Wei Zifu again, which made her feel chilled and regretted entering the palace, so she wanted to leave here, just as the emperor was choosing to be some old and mature The palace maids, allowed these palace ladies to go home. Wei Zifu seized this opportunity to see the emperor and asked the emperor to allow her to leave with these palace ladies. The emperor felt so distressed when she saw her, so he favored Wei that night. Zifu, what I did not expect was that 卫子夫 was so pregnant , the emperor spoiled her even more, but this was not a good thing for her, because the current queen’s father helped Liu Che ascend to the throne. Liu Che is also very grateful to the Queen’s family, but the Queen has never given birth to a child. Now that Wei Zifu is pregnant, he is very jealous and wants to attack Wei Zifu, but Wei Zifu has the emperor's care and it is difficult to start. , So he turned his attention to Wei Zifu’s family. Wei Zifu has a particularly beloved brother, wants to kill her brother, in order to intimidate her , let Wei Zifu know the consequences of fighting with the queen, but she His younger brother was dead and escaped.
The emperor knew about this, and in order to protect Wei Zifu’s brother, he summoned her brother into the palace, and since her brother entered the palace as an official, Contributed a lot to the court and became an indispensable force for the court. Then Wei Zifu gave birth to three children for the emperor, and her sister married the emperor.The trusted minister, for a while, Wei Zifu’s family did not know , many people did not dare to offend easily, and the queen was unable to get a child, so she exercised witchcraft in the harem, Liu Che knew. He immediately sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, and the implications were wide-ranging, so the queen was abolished and stayed away from the harem. The queen was empty. At this time, the guardian husband had been favored by Liu Che for ten years, and Liu Che gave birth to the prince, and He was the eldest son, and the ministers asked Liwei Zifu to be the queen , so the lord of the harem was appointed by Wei Zifu.
According to the imperial system, the eldest son of the emperor should be established as the prince, and the relatives of Wei Zifu have also been reused. The relatives of Wei Zifu did not disappoint the emperor. Those who are officials share the worries of the emperor, and those who are outside fight on the battlefield to quell the war. The Wei Zifu family is loved by the people and has a reputation of . As time passed by, Wei Zifu's appearance was not as good as before, and naturally could not keep the emperor's heart. More young concubines were favored, but Wei Zifu did not feel disappointed by this, but was more humble. , To share the worries for the emperor, sometimes when the emperor left the palace, he ordered Wei Zifu to take charge of the political affairs, without asking afterwards, we can see the emperor’s trust in Wei Zifu.
It is a pity that Wei Zifu did one thing wrong, which disappointed Liu Che. Because Wei Zifu’s family was too large, some ministers were jealous, especially Liu Che’s favor. Chen, also had a contradiction with the prince , and worried that once the prince ascended the throne, he would harm him, so he fabricated a lie to slander the prince, and at this time a disaster occurred among the people, Liu Che was still sick, and someone was reported in the palace. The use of enchantment made Liu Che quite dissatisfied. Prince also fell into rumors. , Liu Che asked for a thorough investigation of this matter. Suddenly, the number of people who suffered injustice and died was as high as tens of thousands.
The prince was very dissatisfied with this matter, and knew that his father was deceived, so he decided to kill the traitor, but his manpower was limited, so he asked the mother guard and husband For help, without reporting to Liu Che, Wei Zifu sent troops to help. The treacherous officials were not able to fight back and were all beheaded by the prince. After Liu Che knew about this, he thought that the prince was wronged, so he sent someone to see the prince and wanted Knowing the truth of this matter, this person was afraid to go to see the prince. lied to the prince to rebel . Liu Che was angry and sent troops to attack. The prince could not resist, so he escaped from the capital, and Wei Zihu was indeed authorized by the prince, it is difficult to explain, finally had to commit suicide to prove his innocence .
