The first empress of Emperor Wu of Han was Chen Ajiao. The reason why Chen Ajiao was able to take the lead and become the original match of Emperor Wu of Han was because they were young plum bamboo horses, and under the arrangement of adults from an early age, they began to "sister-brother love", and also fulfilled the good story of "Golden House Hidden Jiao", making the young Han Wu emperor famous in one fell swoop.
The reason why Emperor Wu of Han was able to defeat a series of powerful opponents and finally ascend to the throne of the crown prince was inseparable from the support of the eldest princess. Princess Chang was both the sister of Emperor Jingdi of Han and the pearl in empress dowager Dou's hand, and her "ear wind" was better than that of a seventh-level typhoon. It was precisely because of the strong support of the eldest princess that Empress Wang finally succeeded in defeating her lover Concubine Li and ascending to the throne, and also helped her son step on the bones of the crown prince Liu Rong to become the new crown prince and eventually inherit the throne. Therefore, in order to thank the family of the eldest princess, on September 1 of the first year of the Jianyuan Dynasty (140 BC), Emperor Wu of Han made Chen Ajiao empress.
However, love is sweet and full, and marriage is bland and bone-like. After the honeymoon period, it is entered into the run-in period. Soon, the seven-year itch of Emperor Wudi's marriage was staged ahead of schedule, because Chen Ajiao belonged to the typical "barbaric empress". How barbaric is she?
Chen Ajiao prided herself and her mother on the merits of Emperor Wu of Han, arrogant and barbaric, and overbearing. And it turned out that this was a manifestation of Chen Ajiao's short-sightedness, she only understood that her Chen family was kind to Emperor Wu of Han, but forgot that it was costly to be proud of her achievements and unscrupulousness. Just as water can carry a boat and overturn a boat, merit can push her to the peak of her life, and it can also make her fall from the top to the bottom.
Chen Ajiao's arrogance and arbitrariness made the harem jump, and even the palace maids were afraid to hide from her. After Emperor Wudi of Han saw the true face of Chen Ajiao's Lushan, the pleasure of the new marriage soon disappeared, and inexplicable boredom surged into his heart. Soon, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, who was attached to the landscape, ushered in the most beautiful sexual encounter.
In March of the second year of jianyuan (139 BC), it was the season of spring and warm flowers. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to Bashang (灞上; present-day northern Lantian County, Shaanxi Province) to hold a ritual to eliminate disasters and eliminate evil. When he returned, Emperor Wu of Han was in a good mood, so he stopped by to visit his sister Princess Pingyang. Princess Pingyang was the first daughter born to Emperor Jing of Han after Empress Wang entered the palace, and when she was not married, she was in Yangxin, so she was called Princess Yangxin, and later married Cao Shou, the Great-grandson of Cao Shan, a great-grandson of a famous courtier, and was renamed Princess Pingyang.
At that time, Chen Ajiao's mother, Princess Guantao, pleased the emperor by recommending beautiful women for the Han Jing Emperor, thus winning the right to speak in the harem. Princess Pingyang was a wise man, she absorbed the essence of Princess Guantao, and also recommended beautiful women to please Emperor Wu of Han. She adopted the beautiful women and trained them in their talents to the day when the Sacred Heart was captured.
The sudden arrival of Emperor Wu of Han was a godsend, and Princess Pingyang naturally would not let the opportunity slip away in vain, she immediately held a grand "feast to receive the wind", and presented Wei Zifu from the wind and dust woman to Emperor Wu of Han at the banquet. Wei Zifu was not only beautiful, but also able to sing and dance, and Emperor Wu of Han fell in love with her at first sight. Since getting Wei Zifu, Emperor Wudi of Han experienced the true taste of love and immediately concentrated "three thousand favors" on her alone. Later, Chen Ajiao's posthumous throne was abolished and Wei Zifu was made empress.
