In the ancient times of our country for thousands of years, the status of folk women was very low, not only could they not study, they could not become officials, and even when they reached the age of marriage, their future husbands could not choose for themselves. At that time, the dream of women was to be able to enter the palace as a concubine, become an empress, and be a mother, but in real history, the queen was not so good, and many queens ended up with a very tragic ending.
The empress we want to talk about today is like this, although she has been married to her husband since she was a child, married for 15 years and had 12 children, but in the end, when her husband claimed the empress, she actually gave the empress to death, only 31 years old, why is this?
This woman is the Western Wei Yifu clan, she and her husband Yuan Baoju grew up together, speaking of Yifu, she has a very beautiful face from childhood, coupled with her gentle and generous personality, has always been loved by her husband. Later, when he was 16 years old, Yi Fu married Yuan Baoju, who was not yet the emperor at that time, and after marriage, Yi Fu also single-mindedly handled various foods for her husband, and the feelings between the two were also very sweet.
Time came to 536, the palace changed dramatically, the emperor was assassinated, and then Yuan Baoju ascended to the throne as emperor, YiFu was also successfully crowned empress, Empress Yifu still maintained her noble qualities during her reign, never jealous because her husband had a harem, but unfortunately, although the two gave birth to 12 children in 15 years, most of them unfortunately died, and only two children grew up.
After Yuan Baoju ascended the throne, Western Wei has not been peaceful, repeatedly received invasions from the surrounding nomads, coupled with the weakness of the imperial court at that time, so Yuan Baoju had to find help from other tribes, at this time the prime minister offered a plan, let the emperor marry the princess of the Rouran tribe, so that he could get help, Yuan Baoju had no choice but to agree.
Unexpectedly, Princess Rouran was a very strong woman, who first proposed to be an empress before the big wedding, and although Empress Yifu was very embarrassed to hear this news, she had to give up the position of empress for the sake of the country. Later, Princess Rouran used her power to force Yi Fushi to become a nun.
After Yi Fushi left home, the emperor missed it very much, often secretly wrote to YiFu, and did not expect that after this matter was known to Princess Ruoran, she actually asked her mother's family to attack Western Wei, and also made a request to Yuan Baoju, if yi Fushi was not executed, the country would perish. Yuan Baoju chose the country between his lover and the country, so Yi Fushi tearfully killed himself, only 31 years old.
