In ancient feudal society, a woman's greatest wish may be to enter the palace to become the emperor's concubine, which means that she can enjoy the glory and wealth in the future. But when you enter the palace, you will have too many involuntary places. Sometimes, women in the harem have to sacrifice their love and even their lives for the sake of national affairs. Therefore, being in the harem is not necessarily a lucky thing.
In ancient times, many concubines may have become victims in front of politics, they had to sacrifice their feelings for the sake of the country, even if the emperor loved you deeply, there was no way to save you. This was the case with Empress Yifu of the Western Wei Emperor Yuan Baoju, who finally sacrificed herself for the sake of the national interest, who understood the great righteousness.
Empress Yifu came from a famous family, and she and Emperor Yuan Baoju of the Western Wei Dynasty had known each other since childhood, and the two of them grew up together. Later, Yi Fushi became the wife of Yuan Baoju, who was only sixteen years old at the time. She was very competent after becoming empress, she was a very gentle woman herself, never ostentatious, did not like extravagant life, and she got along very well with the other concubines of the harem, and the people in the palace praised her.
Yuan Baoju loves Yi Fushi deeply, because only Yi Fushi can give him a sense of security and make him feel at home. Yuan Baoju was uprooted and displaced when he was young, and never had a day of stability, after he grew up, with the support of Yuwen Tai and other ministers, he became the emperor of Western Wei, even if he became an emperor, there were too many people around him who calculated him.
At that time, the Western Wei was not stable, and there were two major hidden dangers on the border, one was the Eastern Wei and the other was Rouran. Rouran has always been hostile to Western Wei, they often invade Western Wei on the border, for this problem, Yuan Baoju is also very entangled, he also wants to start a war with Rouran, but the country has just stabilized, after the war to make the national situation more severe.
If there is no war, then there is only one solution, that is, to make peace, and the ministers believe that only marrying Princess Rouran is the best solution.
At this time, Rouran put forward a more excessive eyeball, that is, it is necessary to make the princess an empress, which means that Yuan Baoju will set up another empress. His heart was reluctant, but for the sake of the country, Yuanbao had to let Yi Fushi move out of the empress's palace, and let her cut her hair as a nun and continue to stay in the palace to take care of her own children.
Princess Rouran was a very grumpy person, and when she learned that the former empress was still in the palace, she wanted to kill Yi Fushi, otherwise she would let Rouran Xingshi question her. In order to save the life of Ephesus, the emperor let her stay away from the imperial city and followed her son to Fandi. In fact, the emperor was still deeply in love with Yi Fushi, and after the relations between the two countries eased, he secretly exchanged letters with Yi Fushi, and let her continue to grow long hair, saying that they would meet again in the future.
This matter was finally revealed and was known to Princess Rouran. When Princess Rouran learned of this, she was furious and wrote to her father saying that her husband had failed him, and when Rouran Khan knew about it, he immediately attacked like Western Wei. At this time, the Western Wei Emperor was just a puppet, and he did not have real power in his hands, and this time The Western Wei was facing a huge crisis. In the face of Jiangshan and love, he could only choose one, and he finally chose his own sheji and ordered the death of Yi Fushi.
Empress Yifu married Yuan Baoju for 15 years and bore him 12 children, she never did anything to apologize to the emperor, but in the end she ended her life and fell victim to politics.
By nature, he likes to be frugal, eating ordinary vegetables and grains, wearing old clothes, pearls and jade, and Ayara satin are never worn. He was kind and generous, never jealous, but finally sacrificed his life for the sake of the country's righteousness.
