In the mausoleum of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Empress Wei Zifu, who had won the favor and was virtuous and virtuous, was not among them, but was buried in the distant Chang'an City Nantong Baiting. The originally enviable Cinderella counterattack was only a tragic end.
The singer's inspirational counterattack path
Pingyang song and dance new favor, outside the curtain spring cold to give the brocade robe. ("Spring Palace Complaint" Tang Wang Changling)
Wei Zifu was born in a humble background, his father is unknown, and his mother was originally a domestic slave of the Marquis of Pingyang. Because of his low birth, he was sent to the Marquis of Pingyang to learn song and dance when he was young, and he would have a good skill in the future. After that, she stayed in the Hou Mansion as a singer.
Shortly after Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne, this young Tianzi went to Bashang to sacrifice and pray for blessings, and on the way back, he passed by the home of his sister Princess Pingyang, and he thought of visiting him. Princess Pingyang and Emperor Wu of Han were brothers and sisters, and the two had a good relationship since childhood, and after Liu Che took the throne, she honored Princess Pingyang as the eldest princess.
At this time, although Liu Che had just ascended the throne, he and Empress Chen had been married for many years and had never had an imperial heir. Therefore, Princess Pingyang had already raised a group of young and beautiful women from good families in the palace, and when she had the right opportunity, she followed the example of Lord Dou and offered to Emperor Wu of Han.
However, these people did not move the young Tianzi, but during the banquet, the figure of Wei Zifu moved Emperor Wu of Han. Although it was not arranged in advance by himself, the final effect was the same, Wei Zifu was brought back to the palace by Emperor Wu of Han, and if he was favored in the future, Princess Pingyang should be the first to do it.
Unfortunately, things did not go as Princess Pingyang had expected.
In the year after Wei Zifu entered the palace, he was forgotten in the corner by Emperor Wu of Han and was never summoned again. First, Empress Chen was more arrogant and jealous, and took strict care of the opposite sex around Emperor Wu of Han; secondly, Emperor Wu of Han was young and charming, and there were many beautiful people in the palace, and the Wei Zifu who was brought in from outside the palace was soon left behind.
It was not until a year later, when Emperor Wu of Han released the palace people out of the palace, that Wei Zifu was able to see Tianyan again, and Pear Blossom hoped that Emperor Wu of Han would let her go out of the palace and go home. Emperor Wu of Han then remembered this beauty who had been shelved in the harem for more than a year, and felt some guilt and pity in his heart, so he re-favored Wei Zifu.
Fortunately, this time he was fortunate to be the Wei Zifu of Emperor Wu of Han and bid farewell to the life of the cold bench.
Soon after, Wei Zifu became pregnant, and Empress Chen was anxious and angry, and ran to argue with Emperor Wu, but this time Emperor Wu refused to back down, and took Empress Chen's childlessness against the general Yijun, and left Empress Chen angry and angry.
Since then, Emperor Wu of Han's respect for Wei Zifu has increased day by day, and his dislike for Empress Chen has also increased. In the fifth year of Emperor Yuanguang of the Han Dynasty (130 BC), Empress Chen was unable to ask for a son because of her huge wealth, and she performed witchcraft. After being discovered, Emperor Wu was furious, and Empress Chen, who was 11 years later, was deposed on the second day of the autumn month and retired to the palace in the distant suburbs
Wei Zifu later gave birth to the first crown prince for Emperor Wu, and Emperor Wu of Han was very happy, named the prince Liu Zhao, and placed high hopes on him. Later, in March of the first year of the Yuan Shuo Dynasty, Wei Zifu was made empress.
After Wei Zifu was made empress, the Wei family did not disappoint the empress, and under the leadership of Wei Qing and Huo Zhiyi, they made outstanding military achievements, and made indelible contributions to the Han Dynasty in solving the problem of border troubles in the Han Dynasty. At that time, the Wei family was a veritable and prestigious family, and the imperial family was noble.
Empress Wei, who thought she could live in peace and prosperity from now on, once again encountered a crisis, and it was a disaster.
As the years passed, Empress Wei's appearance gradually aged, and young and beautiful women appeared in the palace, and Emperor Wu of Han's favor for Wei Zifu for fifteen years began to gradually shift, leaving only basic courtesy and respect.
After Emperor Wu of Han became more suspicious and more suspicious when he became older, he also believed more and more in the matter of witchcraft, and some people took the opportunity to frame the prince in a big way, and plotted to dig up a doll in the Prince's Eastern Palace as evidence, hoping to confirm the prince's crime of cursing Emperor Wu with witchcraft.
Crown Prince Liu wanted to meet Emperor Wu to explain, but was blocked by the traitors, and in a hurry, he decided to raise troops to kill the traitors to prove his innocence, because the number of carriages and horses that the prince could command was limited, Liu Zhi asked empress Wei for help after deciding to raise troops, and Wei Zifu agreed after hearing this, and agreed that Liu Would call on the empress's stables, take the weapons from the arsenal, transfer the guards of the Le Palace, and recruit troops in the name of the rebellion of the traitors.
Originally, Emperor Wu of Han believed in the crown prince, but the traitors around him kept talking, saying that the prince had rebelled, and Emperor Wu was furious and sent Liu Quyi, the left chancellor, to send troops to rebel, and after five days of fighting, the prince was defeated and fled.
Because Empress Wei helped crown prince Liu zhao to raise an army, Emperor Wu sent people to reclaim the empress seal, which symbolized the empress's real power. Empress Wei was also unable to argue about the events of that time, so she committed suicide by killing Mingzhi.
Empress Xiaowuwei, also the first empress in Chinese history to have an independent title, she was not shocked throughout her life, and with a balanced mentality, good virtue and fair handling, she made outstanding contributions to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. Sima Qian praised her as "Jiafu Deruosi", and the end of her suicide was not because she had done anything wrong, but because Emperor Wu of Han was suspicious and superstitious in his later years, and the consequences of abusing traitors, resulting in a generation of sages who had once moved the world, so they died with hatred and could not die well!
