In the long feudal dynasty, there was not much room left for women, but many very famous women still emerged, these people or rulers with iron fists, such as empress Wu Zetian; there were also literati who could write famous works through the ages, such as Li Qingzhao.
Many famous women, most of them are spreading their own glorious side, but one of them is different, people mention her, they can't help but feel disgusted, is the world's humble woman.
Who is she? She is Jia Nanfeng.
Jia Nanfeng can be said to be the only empress in Chinese history who is ugly, vicious, lustful, and good at using the art of snare power, so ugly that historical records say that she is short in stature, less than one meter and five meters tall, with a black and blue face, nostrils facing the sky, and a large birthmark behind her eyebrows, which is extremely ugly. When the crown princess was first chosen, even Sima Yan, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, called her "ugly and short and black". Why did such a useless woman become a queen?
As the saying goes, family background determines the starting point, and the ancients played this sentence to the fullest. Jia Nanfeng is the eldest daughter of Jia Chong, the founding father of the Western Jin Dynasty, Jia Chong for his own rights and interests, with nepotism to compete for power sinister intentions, married this talentless, immoral and unsightly woman to the demented prince of Sima Yan, the Emperor of Jinwu, invisibly made a stepping stone for Jia Nanfeng to go to the peak of politics in the future, although his appearance was ugly, he had to admit that Jia Nanfeng's luck was explosive, things were short and long, and although Jia Nanfeng was born ugly, he was quite cunning.
The cause of the matter is this:
Jia Chong was framed by political enemies and appointed to the town of Chang'an, far away from the political center, which made Jia Chong very worried, so he asked Xun Xun how to be good? Xun Xun then suggested that Jia Chong marry his daughter to Sima Zheng, the crown prince who had not yet married the crown princess, and use the marriage to achieve the purpose of shelving the plan to leave the town. When Jia Chong heard that this road was feasible, he gladly agreed and bragged everywhere about how his daughter had virtues.
It just so happens that Sima Zheng is still a stupid person, to what extent? Saying that there was a year of natural disasters in the country that there was a continuous famine, the imperial court official reported that Sima Ai was relieved of the victims, and he said a famous saying throughout the ages: "The people have no food to eat, why don't they eat meat porridge?" It can be seen that this emperor is stupid to the extreme. But no one could have imagined that Sima Zheng's foolishness would actually become the best reason for Jia Nanfeng's future dictatorship.
Although Sima Zheng was foolish, he could not stand Empress Yang's love for this son too much, so he had to be made a prince, in order to keep the position of the prince of the stupid son, he needed to rely on foreign ministers, if he got the help of Jia Chong, it was natural to join forces. Therefore, when Emperor Sima Yan asked her, Empress Yang had already received Jia Chong's generous gifts and tried her best to tell Jia Nanfeng's good words in front of Sima Yan, coupled with the praise of the chancellor, Sima Yan also agreed to the marriage. Poor Sima Zheng was not only stupid to marry a daughter-in-law but also ugly, and thus unveiled a tragic imperial career.
Jia Nanfeng is not only ugly, but also ugly after entering the palace. A woman's three from four virtues does not have at all, saying that all evil and adultery are the first, Jia Nanfeng is first of all absurd, he looks ugly, not to mention that he also dislikes his husband Jun's dementia and does not understand the style. Jia Nanfeng, who is ugly and amorous, put a green hat on his husband as soon as he entered the palace.
The Book of Jin records that she had long ago committed adultery with the official Tai Yi Ling Cheng, who could freely enter and leave the palace. In addition, they also went around snatching young and handsome young men and pulling them into the palace for sexual immorality, and afterwards they would brutally kill them, causing the government and the public to make a lot of noise.
There was a small official in Luoyang, who was very handsome and beautiful, dashing and handsome, and suddenly people were arrogant, dressed gorgeously, and generous in their shots. So some people suspected that the boy was suspected of stealing, so his superiors came to him for questioning, and he defended: A while ago, when he was wandering alone, he met an old woman, and the old woman stopped him, saying that there was a sick person in her family, and asked someone to divinate and say: We must find a strong offspring to suppress evil. The old woman asked him for help, and he agreed. The old woman put him in a car with a curtain and packed him in a large box, and later he learned that he had slept with an extraordinary woman and had been happy for several days before he obtained the items. After listening to the little official's speech, everyone understood that this woman was Empress Jia Nanfeng, so they smiled and left.
The most terrible thing in this world is not the demons and ghosts, but the jealousy of women. The biggest reason why Jia Nanfeng is called the first ugly queen is that she is still a snake and scorpion woman. The mind is much uglier than it looks. Because Sima Zheng feared Jia Nanfeng's jealousy and deceit, the other concubines were rarely favored. At the same time, as long as Jia Nanfeng found that other concubines were pregnant, he would beat them in the abdomen with a knife, causing them to abort, and even kill people.
Sima Yan was furious when he found out, and just when Jin Yongcheng was completed, he planned to depose Jia Nanfeng and imprison her in Jinyongcheng. However, Sima Yan's favorite concubine Chonghua Zhao Yue, Empress Yang Zhi, and the chancellor Yang Jue all interceded for Jia Nanfeng, and Xun Xun and others even went around to protect Jia Nanfeng's position as Crown Princess, so in the end nothing happened. Such an ugly and vicious woman can actually become a queen, and the forces behind her are also quite powerful.
Because Jia Nanfeng had experienced the fear of being deposed this time when he was still the crown princess, he was particularly afraid of the loss of status. Therefore, after Sima Zheng, the Emperor of Jinhui, succeeded to the throne, Jia Nanfeng began the road of harem interference. More than a hundred years of strife in the north also began.
Sima Zheng succeeded to the throne as emperor, and Jia Nanfeng was made empress.
In the crisis of her early dethronement, Jia Hou had been repeatedly advised by Empress Yang Zhi, but she did not know that Yang Zhi had tried her best to rescue her behind her back, but instead thought that she had slandered herself to Sima Yan, so she was extremely resentful of Yang Zhi. Therefore, Yang Zhi became the ghost of Jia Nanfeng's first heartbroken revenge. After Emperor Hui succeeded to the throne, Empress Jia intended to participate in political affairs, but was obstructed by her wife Yang Jun, who was a foreign relative, which greatly annoyed Empress Jia.
The following year, Jia Nanfeng colluded with Meng Guan, Li Zhao, and Dong Meng, the temple overseer, to plot to depose Yang Jun and depose Empress Dowager Yang Zhi. Jia Nanfeng also sent Li Zhao to contact Sima Liang, the king of Runan, and Sima Wei, the king of Chu, and asked them to lead an army against Yang Jun, of which Sima Wei agreed, so he asked to enter the dynasty, but Yang Jun did not dare to stop it. After Sima Wei entered the dynasty, Meng Guan, Li Zhao, and others instructed Sima Zheng to issue an edict falsely accusing Yang Jun of plotting rebellion, and sent Ma Sui of the Dong'an Company to lead 400 people to attack Yang Jun, and Sima Wei was stationed at Sima Men in Tun. When Yang Jun received the news, he persuaded him to make a decision at the moment, burn the YunlongMen of the Palace City, embrace the prince into the palace, and depose Jia Hou. Yang Jun hesitated, and was killed in fudi, and the Wei generals Yang Jue and the crown prince Yang Ji were captured, all of which were yi.
Jia Nanfeng took the opportunity to frame Yang Zhi for writing in the cloth that "those who save the taifu have a reward" and said that the empress dowager conspired together to rebel, corrected the deposing of the empress dowager Yang Shi as a shuren, and moved to Jin Yongcheng, where he had also been imprisoned, and was actually starved to death the next year. Poor Empress Yang could not be blinded when she was dying, and she never expected that she had fed a white-eyed wolf with kindness. Under the temptation of power, Jia Nanfeng's vicious poison caused cholera to mess up the entire imperial court. Since then, the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" in the history of the Western Jin Dynasty has been launched.
After killing his cousin Yang Clique, Jia Nanfeng quickly recruited Sima Liang as Dazai, and together with Taibao Baolu Shangshushi ( 太保瓘錄尚書事 ) , assisted the government , and appointed Sima Wei as a general of Wei and Sima Shu as a servant of Shangshu Zuo. Jia Nanfeng intervened in state affairs together with his brother Jia Mo, his uncle Guo Zhang, and his sister Jia Wu's sons Jia Mi, Sima Wei, and Sima Miao. At this time, because Jia Nanfeng became more and more violent, Sima Xuan planned to depose her, but because Sima Liang accused Sima Xuan of intending to specialize in government, he dismissed him from office and exiled him to Daifang County, and the crisis was resolved.
Later, Jia Nanfeng saw that Sima Wei and Sima Liang were at odds, and asked Sima Zheng to depose them, and later ordered Sima Wei to remove Sima Liang and Wei Wan, two auxiliary ministers. After Sima Wei killed the two, the crown prince Fu Zhanghua sent Dong Meng to persuade Jia Nanfeng to kill Sima Wei along the way, and Jia Nanfeng obeyed and said that Sima Wei had killed Sima Liang and Wei Wan, thus causing Sima Wei's subordinates to scatter, and Sima Wei was arrested and killed. Twists and turns, several clever tricks, beckoning hidden killing machines. After Sima Liang, Wei Wan, and Sima Wei were killed, the demented emperor was firmly grasped by her, and Jia Nanfeng was finally able to monopolize power and began to establish his own henchmen and consolidate his power.
In fact, Jia Nanfeng was still very knowledgeable and good at using people, among the main figures of the central government during her actual reign, Zhang Hua was still promoted to the head of the Shu clan, Pei Feng was a scholar, Wang Rong was a famous scholar at that time, even such as the relatives Jia Mo had the performance of outspoken advice. Therefore, the traditional Chinese view of history represented by the Book of Jin has a lot of derogatory views on Jia Nanfeng itself, but for the dynastic government during his eight years in power, it has been described many times as "Yanran in the sea" and "tranquility in the government and the wilderness", which is a unique period of stability in the history of the Western Jin Dynasty except for the founding emperor Of Jinwu.
But anyone is multi-faceted, just to satisfy their own desire for power and lust, stepping on the conspiracy to ascend to the throne, sacrificing many lives, good is not good!
Jia Nanfeng was childless all her life, and her mother Guo Huai was originally a violent and jealous person, and they all advised her to love the crown prince Sima Suo, and even when she was dying, she earnestly asked Jia Nanfeng to love the prince. However, Jia Nanfeng was already in a rage, the whole world was hers, and she still needed to count on others, so she discussed with ChongHua Zhao Yue and her sister Jia Wu to murder the prince. It is really a harmful heart, a heart of prevention is indispensable, the prince could not have dreamed of lying down and being shot!
In 299 AD (the ninth year of Yuan Kang), Jia Nanfeng began the first step of his own plan, pretending that he had conceived and given birth to a child during Emperor Wu's funeral, but because of the secret of the matter, he did not announce it to the outside world, and took Han Weizu, the son of his brother-in-law Han Shou, as his own son, to depose Sima Song and take Han Weizu as the crown prince, but if it was so easy, it was a prince, and it could not be clearly understood in the dictatorship. So Jia Hou found an opportunity to forcibly drunk Sima Song, and asked him to write down in the drunken confusion: "Your Majesty should be self-sufficient, not self-conscious, I should enter it." The Middle Palace should be quick and self-sufficient, and if it is not self-reliant, I should take it as a hand. And with Concubine Xie to ask for, engrave two shots, do not hesitate, so that the future troubles. Ru Mao drank blood under the Three Chens, Emperor Tianxu was the one who swept away the evil, Li Daowen was the king, and Jiang Shi was the inner lord. May it be done, when the three animals are worshipped in the north of the king".
Because he drank too much wine and half of the characters were not in the shape of a font, Jia Nanfeng revised the words again, and finally handed the words to Sima Zheng and the various clans, saying that Sima Song had plotted against him, realized the plot to depose the prince, and imprisoned the prince and his three young sons in Jin Yongcheng, while killing Sima Song's biological mother Xie Jiu and Sima Chen's biological mother Jiang Jun.
Originally very dissatisfied with what Jia Hou had done, the prince who had pinned his hopes on him was framed by Jia Hou, which immediately caused the anger of many people. The Right Guard Governor Sima Ya, Chang Cong, Xu Chao, and Lang Shiyi of the Palace even plotted to depose Jia Nanfeng, re-establish Sima Song as crown prince, and lobbied Sun Xiu, a close confidant of Sima Lun the Prince of Zhao.
Sun Xiu also immediately agreed after hearing this, and reported to Sima Lun, and even plotted to seize power for Sima Lun. Sun Xiuhou immediately implemented a counter-plan, saying that someone in the palace planned to depose Jia Nanfeng and restore Sima Suo to the throne, which cooperated with the voice of folk resentment, which greatly frightened Jia Nanfeng. Sima Lun and Sun Xiu then persuaded Jia Mi to kill Sima Song to stop the people.com. Jia Nanfeng also panicked and believed Sun Xiu and Sima Lun, so he ordered the tai doctor to order Cheng to bring poison, and ordered Huangmen Sun Wei to go and poison Sima Suo, but Sima Suo refused to take it, and Sun Wei finally killed Sima Suo with a medicine pestle.
This move was just an excuse for Sima Lun, the King of Zhao, to attack Jia Nanfeng.
Praying mantises catch cicadas, yellow finches in the back. Sima Lun, the King of Zhao, forged an edict to depose Jia Nanfeng on the charge of murdering the crown prince, and immediately received the support of many people, killing Jia Mi after entering the palace, and sending Sima Ran, the king of Qi, to arrest Jia Nanfeng.
When Jia Nanfeng saw Sima Yuan enter the palace at night, he knew that things were not good, and asked in surprise, "What are you here for?" "The edict to capture the empress!" Sima Ran picked up the voice. Jia Nanfeng then asked, "When the edict is sent from my hand, what edict do you follow?" Sima Ran stopped paying attention to her and carried her out of the apse. Coming to Shangquan, The shadow of Sima Zheng was faintly visible, and Jia Nanfeng shouted from a distance, "Your Majesty, you have watched your wife ruin your family, and in the end you have not abolished Your Majesty yourself?" After shouting, he saw that it was useless, so he asked Sima Ran again, "Who is the person who started the trouble?" Sima Ran did not shy away from it, and replied, "It is King Zhao and King Liang." Jia Nanfeng listened, remorseful, and scolded viciously: "When the dog is leashed, I will tie its tail, and I should do the same." I only hated that I didn't kill these two old dogs first, but they bit them instead. ”
It is true that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the wicked will receive it from the wicked.
Subsequently, Jia Nanfeng was deposed as a Shuren and escorted to Jin Yongcheng, and Sima Lun captured Jia Nanfeng's henchmen such as Zhao Cang, Jia Wu, and Cheng Zhao. At the same time, Sima Lun arrested and executed some prestigious ministers such as Sikong Zhang Hua and Shangshu servant Pei Jun, so as to facilitate the dictatorship. Sima Lun took the throne after killing Jia Hou's henchmen and Zhang Hua and others, monopolized power, and soon poisoned Jia Nanfeng with gold shavings, and Jia Nanfeng was only forty-five years old when he died. This place where Empress Yang was blind, and finally waited for the culprit of that year, was it Empress Yang's unwilling soul arranged in the darkness?
Jia Nanfeng's disturbance of the government led to the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings", which lasted for a total of sixteen years. The "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" was one of the most serious imperial civil unrest in Chinese history, when the social economy was severely damaged, leading to the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty and the turmoil of the past three hundred years, which led to the subsequent China into the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms (Wuhu Chaohua). It caused great economic damage and directly led to the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty.
It is said that the red face is a disaster, Jia Nanfeng is so ugly, it can actually bring disaster to a country, and the depth of her heart is comparable to that of a boy. Jia Nanfeng's ferocious methods were basically aimed at political opponents who threatened his position, especially the Western Jin Dynasty, and compared with Sima Lun, who launched a mutiny to kill Jia, he killed Zhang Hua, Pei Jun, and other ministers who had governed well for many years, but he was defeated and killed after only one year of his reign as emperor, which was completely inferior to the stability of the government and the opposition for many years in the Jia period.
If Jia Hou was not overly absurd, short-sighted, and had enough patience, she might also be an empress of a generation, and the later Wu Zetian would be called the second. However, she competed for the wind and jealousy, played tricks, played with power, and was good at drilling camps, but in the end she died in the gold shavings poisonous wine she brewed. Compared with Wu Zetian, it is too much inferior, so Jia Nanfeng,a generation of ugly queens, only added a touch of ink to the sky of history, and also sounded a negative alarm bell for future generations.
Yes and no, merit and transgression, the wheel of history runs over. The dust has settled, the history is dusty, how the historical facts are, the reverie of posterity...
