Have you ever heard a story about the queen and the eunuch falling in love? Presumably, many people have not heard of it.
Today, Xiaobian will talk to you about the story of the queen and the eunuch's love.
The story takes place during the Northern Wei Dynasty, the male protagonist is called Zhang You, and the female protagonist is called Empress Feng.
In Chinese history, Empress Feng was an amazing woman, not only in a high position of authority, but also extremely capable, and was recognized as a female politician. How could she have an affair with a eunuch?
In fact, Empress Feng and Zhang You have known each other since childhood.
Empress Feng has no name, and we call her Feng. Feng's father, Feng Lang, was originally the Duke of Liaoxi County. Zhang You's father, Zhang Cheng, was also a high-ranking official in the imperial court. The two men were friends in private and political allies in business. The two families have a good friendship and frequent daily exchanges. Because of this, Zhang You and Feng Shi have known each other since childhood, and the two grew up together.
During the reign of Emperor Taiwu of northern Wei, the famous chancellor Situ Cui Hao was framed by villains and accused of treason. His political allies Feng Lang and Zhang Cheng were simultaneously linked. Cui Hao was accused of exterminating the Nine Tribes, and the officials involved in the case, the imperial court selected some boys and girls with better looks among their descendants, and sent them to the palace as servants. In this way, Zhang You and Feng Shi were elected to the palace at the same time, Zhang You was castrated as a eunuch, and Feng Shi was used as a slave.
The fate of the two has changed.
Feng is born smart and intelligent, and very beautiful, loved by everyone and blossomed. Her aunt was also in the palace, was Zhaoyi, had good morals, and had a certain influence in the palace. She was extremely sympathetic to Feng's plight, often taking care of her and educating her carefully. At the age of fourteen, Feng's family had already come out of chuchu and charming, and the crown was beautiful. Because she was favored by the emperor, she was crowned a nobleman. At this point, Feng's story is a beautiful woman's super counterattack in the court.
After Zhang You entered the palace, he was loyal and industrious. As he grew older, he was appointed as the overseer of the palace of the new nobles. And this new nobleman turned out to be Feng's.
The two unsurprisingly met in the new palace. Two people with green plums and bamboo horses met in the Forbidden Palace, and naturally they had mixed feelings. However, there are only two lines of tears.
At the age of fifteen, Feng Guiren was crowned empress. Zhang You was given the title of Li Yangnan. After Emperor Xianwen succeeded to the throne, he was promoted to the rank of Scattered HorseMan, in charge of all affairs in the palace.
Empress Feng was a very emotional person, as long as there was no one around, she affectionately called Zhang You "Brother Zhang You" (Zhang Youchang Empress Feng was seven months old). However, Zhang You did not dare to be rude at all, and he was respectful every time. Empress Feng looked at Zhang You differently, but Zhang You did not become arrogant because of this. On the contrary, he still adhered to his principle of being a man, sincere and simple, gentle and generous to others, and was praised by hundreds of officials.
Once, the empress went to Fangshan to play, only to see that the mountains and rivers were picturesque and the scenery was pleasant. She said with emotion that she hoped to be buried here in a hundred years. Upon hearing this, Emperor Xiaowen immediately ordered someone to build the Shouling Tomb on Fangshan Mountain, which lasted eight years and was finally completed. Soon after the completion, Feng and Zhang You met in Fangshan, staying at home, quietly spending three days of "couple" life.
After returning to the palace, Zhang You received an edict: "In your lifetime, you may not die."
In September of the tenth year of Taihe, Zhang You died of illness at the age of 49. Since then, Empress Feng has become depressed, and the following spring, she also died.
A high-ranking empress dowager and a eunuch actually performed such a poignant love, which is also a strange thing for eternity.
