How important is it to get a wife? Liu Che married his first wife to become emperor, and married his second wife to become an emperor.

Since ancient times, marriage has been very important, and for people with higher status, the more important it is to marry a woman who can help yourself. Even the emperor with power over the world cannot avoid it; especially in many countries. When the prince competes for the throne, the power of the wife's side is very important, and this is almost everywhere in the ancient imperial power struggle. And what I want to talk about here is the outstanding Han Wudi Liu Che.

In fact, Liu Che was only the tenth son of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Che's mother, Wang Dan, was not too favored by Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty. From a rational point of view, Liu Che had no chance to win the throne. The fact is also true. At the very beginning, the crown prince was Liu Rong, the eldest son of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty; however, as Liu Rong’s mother Li Ji lost her favor, Liu Rong was also deposed as Linjiang County King, and the crown prince was here. It's empty.

Although all the princes and the forces behind them are fighting openly and secretly to snatch the position of the prince, but Liu Che’s mother, Wang Lao, took a different path. This Wang Lao did not go to win over the ministers, because she knew that the Emperor Liu Qi of Han Jing I hate this, so she turned to attack the Han Jingdi’s relatives, Princess Guantao Liu Xing, because she knew that Liu Qi had a very good relationship with his sister Liu Xing; Wang Xing was very smart and soon became best friends with Liu Xing. .

Wang Dan promised to let his son Liu Che marry Liu's daughter Chen, so he was supported by Liu prostitutes in the battle for the reserve; with the help of Liu prostitutes, Emperor Han Jing later established Wang's court as the queen, and Liu Che was also named The prince, and his position was stable; after Liu Qi died, Liu Che became emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the Chen family naturally became the queen. If Liu Che hadn't married the Chen family, Liu would never help him with all his strength, and he would naturally not be the emperor.

But Liu Che actually didn’t like the Chen family. At the beginning, it was impossible to fight for the throne, but after the throne was firmly established, he began to have ideas; because Empress Chen has never been able to bear children, so Han Wudi Liu Che’s sister Pingyang The princess wanted to find a woman for Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Wei Zifu was the candidate for Princess Pingyang; Wei Zifu was indeed a great candidate. Liu Che and Wei Zifu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, were just a one-night pleasure, and they became pregnant. Also gave birth to a son, this is the later prince Liu Shi.

Because Empress Chen was unable to give birth and was jealous of Wei Zifu, he gave the Han Wu Emperor Liu Che a chance. In the end, Empress Chen was abolished and Wei Zifu became a queen. Although Wei Zifu is a model queen, let What Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not expect was that Wei Zifu’s younger brother and nephew were stronger. Wei Zifu’s younger brother was Wei Qing, and his nephew was Huo Qubing. It was these two masterminds who were born and led the Han army to defeat the Han Dynasty. The Xiongnu made the Han Dynasty truly powerful, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became the emperor of the ages.

Of course, here is not to say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to become the emperor of the ages purely by his wife. His own ability and hard work are also very important; but without the help of Empress Chen and Wei Zifu, Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty Liu Che would The throne was missed, let alone relying on Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to defeat the Xiongnu and become the emperor through the ages. But how did Emperor Wu of Han return to these two wives who helped him greatly? Empress Chen was beaten into the cold palace, and Wei Zifu's fate was even more miserable. After the deaths of Huo Qubing and Wei Qing, the "Witch Gu" broke out. Prince Liu Zheng committed suicide and Wei Zifu also committed suicide...
