Liu Yi had been imprisoned for the "scourge of witchcraft", and after many years of imprisonment, he was proclaimed emperor and did not abandon his wife.
Liu Yi was already Liu Qian, the Xiaoxuan Emperor of the Han Dynasty, although he was an emperor, he had a tortuous life. Soon after Liu Yi was born, he encountered the famous "Curse of the Witches" in history, and his father, Crown Prince Liu Zhu, committed suicide because of this incident.
When emperor Wu of The Wise and Divine Emperor Wu of Han grew old, he would appear incompetent when doing things, which gave a person, Jiang Chong, a chance. Because Jiang Chong felt that he and the crown prince had a gap, he was afraid that once the crown prince Liu Zhao ascended the throne, he would not only have a bad position, but also face the disaster of imprisonment, so he chose to strike first. He claimed to Emperor Wu of Han that someone had cursed him with witchcraft, and that Emperor Wu of Han was not in good health and believed his words, so he ordered Jiang Chong to investigate the matter.
Jiang Chong was of course very happy when he received the task, because he had the opportunity to put the prince to death. After excavation, he claimed to have dug up a villain in the taintary palace, and the crown prince Liu Zhao, who was very frightened, had no choice but to raise an army, and began to flee after the defeat of the army, because the news leaked, the prince chose to commit suicide.
Because Liu Yi was already the son of the crown prince Liu Zhao, he was also implicated, and although he was still in his infancy, he was still imprisoned. Liu has been in prison for several years, and after leaving prison, he began a new life. Emperor Wu of Han died, and his son Liu Fuling was proclaimed emperor, which was the historical Emperor Zhao of Han. Because Emperor Han Zhao had no sons, after his death, the chancellor Huo Guang and others welcomed Liu He, the king of Changyi, as emperor, but Liu He was absurd and unscrupulous, and he was really not suitable to be an emperor, and if the Great Han wanted to continue, he must not let Liu He be the son of heaven. Therefore, Huo Guang and others deposed Liu He, the king of Changyi, and took Liu He, who was in the people, to the palace, and Liu Guang and others had already endured hardships and finally became the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
After Liu Yi became emperor, the position of empress should be sat by someone, so at that time, who was the most suitable person to be an empress? There was no doubt that she was Huo Guang's daughter. Liu Yi was able to inherit the throne, which was closely related to Huo Guang, after all, Huo Guang welcomed him into the palace, and Huo Guang had great power. If Liu Yi already wanted to consolidate imperial power, it was most appropriate to crown Huo Guang's daughter as empress, but Liu Yi's first empress was not Huo Guang's daughter, but Xu Pingjun.
Xu Pingjun was Liu Yiji's wife, and he loved her very much, so even in the face of heavy pressure, he still tried his best to finally succeed in crowning Xu Pingjun as empress. The phrase "the sword is deep" is a good story of romantic love.
