During the Western Han Dynasty, empress Wang Jingdi was originally a peasant woman, not only married a commoner as a wife very early, but also gave birth to a daughter for her, but it was such an identity, she could transform into the empress of the Western Han Dynasty and later the empress, her experience was also very inspiring, then, there was such an identity placed there, and her commoner husband did not die, why could she enter the palace and become an empress? It's also an interesting piece of history.
Wang was the granddaughter of the original Yan king Zang Di and the daughter of Wang Zhong, a commoner in Huaili, although Zang Er was not born low, but after all, it was only the past, and Wang Zhong was only a commoner, so Wang Zhong was just a daughter of an ordinary family. After Wang Yuan, Zang Er married him to the commoner Jin Wangsun and gave birth to a daughter named Jin Guo.
Wang Wei's life seems to have been doomed at this time, that is, an ordinary peasant woman, but her mother Zang Er does not think so, after all, Zang Er is after the King of Yan, she has seen more in the end, she does not think that the children she gives birth to can only be commoners in the end, so she wants to change the fate of her children.
She looked for someone to calculate a gua for her two daughters, Wang Jiao and Wang, and the gua xiang showed that the two daughters were "all worthy of nobility", which gave Zang Er great encouragement, and she had a bold idea, that is, to send her daughter into the palace, but because Wang Ling's age was still young, Zang Er could only choose to send Wang Er to the palace first.
At this time, Wang Er was already a wife and mother, but this did not make Zang Er dispel her thoughts, she went directly to the Jin family to ask for someone, let the two divorce, and the Jin King Sun refused, Zang Er directly brought Wang Er back home, and then entrusted someone to send her to the Prince's Mansion.
Wang Jiao was soft and well-behaved, and when she first entered the Prince's Mansion, she was favored by Liu Qi, and gave birth to three daughters and a son, and she took her sister Wang Qi into the Prince's Mansion to serve the crown prince Liu Qi, and Wang Qi gave birth to four sons for Liu Qi.
Just from the matter of giving birth to children, it can be seen how favored he and the Wang Sisters are in the Prince's Mansion. So, the question is, Liu Qi does not know the identity of Wang Yuan? Why would he favor His Wife, who had been a wife and mother?
Speaking of which, the identity of Wang Wei does not seem to be a big problem now, but it seems that it is not possible in ancient times, what is advocated in ancient times is that women are from one end to the end, at home from their fathers, from their husbands, from their husbands to their sons, women's chastity is more important than life, but such moral shackles are actually things after the Song Dynasty, and before the Song Dynasty, we will find that women's divorce and remarriage is a very normal thing, and will not be criticized, nor will they be looked down upon.
Therefore, our historical records record that many women in the Han and Tang Dynasties had the experience of remarriage or even three marriages, such as Wang Jiao's birth mother Zang Er also remarried, and after Wang Zhong's death, Zang Er married a man of the Changling Tian clan and gave birth to two sons.
There is also the famous Princess Pingyang, who has been married three times, and her final destination is to marry the great general Wei Qing. There is also Wang Zhengjun, Wang Zhengjun had promised to marry two people before entering the palace, and in ancient times, Xu Zhengjun was already considered to be married to some extent.
The same was true during the Tang Dynasty, when princesses remarried and married three times, and the moral shackles on women at that time were much less than in later generations, so marriage had a certain degree of freedom, at least after the husband's death, if she did not want to be widowed, she could remarry.
And after the Song Dynasty, it will not work, women from the beginning, even if they are widowed at a young age, for the sake of fame, for the sake of the family, whether they want to or not, they have to be widowed to death, so that maybe they can finally get a chastity arch, which is very ironic, but it is real history, even the princess is no exception.
For example, the Ten Princesses who were very favored by the Qianlong Emperor did not have a happy life after marrying Fengshen Yinde, when she was 24 years old, Qianlong and Hezhen both died, and her relationship with Fengshen Yinde appeared a big rift, but they did not divorce, more than ten years later, Fengshen Yinde died, the 35-year-old Ten Princesses began to be widowed, and finally died at the age of 49, her life is also a tragedy.
If the Tenth Princess had been born in the Han and Tang Dynasties, she would not have been widowed for so many years, we continue to say Wang Jie, after Wang became Liu Qi's beauty, it was very much the second half of her precious life, and The Golden King Sun, a commoner, did not dare to compete with the royal family at all.
After Liu Qi ascended the throne, Wang Qi gave birth to a son, Liu Che, later Emperor Wu of Han, and Wang Qi became Lady Wang, and Liu Qi's empress had another person, that is, Empress Bo.
Empress Bo was a member of Liu Qi's grandmother Empress Bo's maternal clan, Liu Qi and Empress Bo were a typical marriage, and there was no affection, but because of Empress Bo's relationship, Empress Bo still became Liu Qi's first empress, but after Empress Bo's death, Liu Qi was unwilling to let Empress Bo continue to occupy that position, and quickly deposed Empress Bo.
Empress Bo was deposed, and Liu Qi, the Emperor of Hanjing, did not immediately establish another empress, but if there were no accidents, Li Ji, the mother of Crown Prince Liu Rong, might be the next empress, but Li Ji was not very clever, and she refused Princess Guantao's request for marriage.
In order to consolidate her position, Princess Guantao wanted to marry her daughter to the prince and become the future empress, but Li Ji had always disliked Princess Guantao and refused to agree to this marriage.
Princess Guantao was not annoyed, anyway, her daughter must be the empress, since Liu Rong did not marry, then change the prince, she and Lady Wang reached an agreement, pulled Liu Rong down, and prepared to let Liu Che, who was only six or seven years old, be the prince. Princess Guantao's energy was great, and soon, this thing became.
In 150 BC, Wang Was made empress and Liu Che became crown prince. Liu Che did marry Princess Guantao's daughter Chen Shi, but Empress Chen was eventually deposed, of course, this is what happened later.
We see that the reason why Wang Wei was able to change from a peasant woman to an empress of the Western Han Dynasty and even a future empress dowager was due to many factors, such as the plot of her mother Zang'er, the tolerance of the times for women, the childlessness and unfavorability of Empress Bo, the stupidity of Li Ji, the ambition of Princess Guantao, and so on.
Of course, Wang himself was also an extremely intelligent person, otherwise he would not have been able to step by step in the harem of the Western Han Dynasty and become a winner in life.
