Lady Zhao of the Zhao clan (?-c. 88 BC), unknown, was a native of Hejian (present-day Hebei),[1] a favorite concubine of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, and the biological mother of Liu Fuling, emperor of the Han Dynasty. [2] Legend has it that zhao was born with a fist that could not be stretched, and when Emperor Wu of han crossed the river, "the one who hoped for qi said that there was a strange woman", so he summoned her and spread her hand, and held a jade hook in his palm after unfolding, so he was called Lady of fist, also known as Lady Hook Yi, and was later named Jieyu. Ban Gu said in the Book of Han that Emperor Wu of Han was recuperating in Ganquan Palace, and that Zhao Shi, who was accompanying him, was reprimanded by Emperor Wu of Han for making a mistake, and later Zhao died of depression in Yunyang Palace and was buried underground. Now the more popular saying is Chu Shaosun's supplementary record in the "Records of History": Emperor Wu of Han set up a son to kill his mother in order to prevent the female protagonist from messing with the government.
Odd Girl Hook Bow
When Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty was on a hunting tour and passing through the Hejian Kingdom (present-day Hebei), the "qi seekers" who watched the heavens and divination and fortune-telling said to Emperor Wu of Han that there were strange women in this area, and Emperor Wu of Han immediately issued an edict to send people to look for them.
Sure enough, as the hopeful said, after a while, the accompanying officials found a young and beautiful woman, who was said to have been born with her hands clenched into fists, and although she was more than ten years old, she still could not stretch out. Emperor Wu of Han summoned this woman to come over, and seeing that her hands were really clenched in fists, Emperor Wu of Han stretched out his hands and gently broke the woman's hands, and the girl's hands were separated, and a small jade hook was still tightly held in the palm of her hand. Subsequently, Emperor Wu of Han ordered someone to help this woman into the accompanying carriage and bring her back to the imperial palace, thus gaining the favor of Emperor Wu of Han and known as Lady Fist, and this daughter was Zhao.
Zhao's father had died at the time, and he had been sentenced to palace punishment for breaking the law, becoming a eunuch, serving as Zhonghuangmen, dying in Chang'an, and was buried in Yongmen after his death.
Some people think that Zhao Shi is a polio to clench fists with both hands, but this does not explain that Emperor Wu of Han can unfold her hands and have a jade hook in his hand, and some people think that shaking a fist and hiding a hook is a good play for local officials and entourage to please Emperor Wu of Han, and Zhao's father's eunuch career made Zhao's beauty known to some officials, so he took this opportunity to give Zhao to Emperor Wu of Han.
The legend of Yao Mu
Later, Zhao was promoted to JieYu and lived in Ganquan Palace, and her palace was named Hook Yi Palace, so it was also called Lady Hook Yi. In the third year of the Tai dynasty (94 BC), the Zhao clan gave birth to a son for Emperor Wu of Han, named Liu Fuling, known as Hook Yizi. It is said that Liu Fuling, like the ancient Emperor Yao, was born in the fourteenth month of pregnancy, so he called the gate of his birth as the Yao Mother Gate.
The remains of the witch
In the second year of Zhenghe (91 BC), the famous Witch Curse occurred. Empress Wei Zifu and Crown Prince Liu Zhi were framed by Su Wen, Jiang Chong, Han Shuo, and others for not being able to raise troops from the Ming Dynasty, and committed suicide after the defeat. After that, Emperor Wu of Han never made another crown prince.
Emperor Wu of Han had six sons, the eldest son was Liu Zhao, the second son Liu Hong the Prince of Qihuai died early, and after the scourge of wu, only four people could inherit the throne: Liu Dan the Prince of Yan, Liu Xu the Prince of Guangling, Liu Ji the Prince of Changyi, and Liu Fuling, son of zhao.
Liu Dan wrote to Emperor Wu of Han after Liu Zhao's death and voluntarily returned to the capital Chang'an to serve as a defender at the imperial palace, hoping to be made crown prince, but Emperor Wu of Han was furious and immediately killed the emissaries sent by Liu Dan in Northern Que and cut off his three counties.
Liu Xu was extravagant, fond of fun, and had no law in his behavior, so he eventually failed to become the heir to the throne.
Liu Ji was born to Emperor Wu of Han and his favorite concubine Lady Li, and was the nephew of The Second Division general Li Guangli. Li Guangli and Liu Quyi, the chancellor, were relatives of their sons and daughters, and in the third year of Zhenghe (90 BC), the two plotted together to establish Liu Qi as crown prince, and after the incident, Li Guangli surrendered to the Xiongnu, and Liu Quyi was beheaded. In the first month of the first year of the Later Yuan Dynasty (88 BC), that is, the year before the death of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Ji died.
Liu Fuling was the youngest son of Emperor Wu of Han, and between the third year of Zhenghe and the fourth year of Zhenghe (90 BC - 89 BC), Emperor Wudi of Han believed that Liu Fuling, who was only five or six years old, was in good health and had a high IQ, much like when he was a teenager, so he especially favored Liu Fuling. Emperor Wu of Han had the intention of making him crown prince, but because of his young mother, he was afraid that the heroine would fall on the curtain and harm the country, and he hesitated.
LiZi kills his mother
There is no exact record of Zhao's death, but it is between the first year of the Later Yuan Dynasty and the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty (88 BC - 87 BC). Moreover, the record of the cause of death in the Book of Han is slightly different from that recorded by Chu Shaosun in the Supplementary Records of the Records of History. Ban Gu recorded in the Book of Han that during the cultivation of Emperor Wu of Han in Ganquan Palace, Zhao Shi was accompanied by his attendants, and because of his mistakes, he was reprimanded by Emperor Wu of Han, causing Zhao to die of depression, and Zhao was buried in Yunyang nearby after his death.
Chu Shaosun added in the "Records of History": When Emperor Wu of Han was living in Ganquan Palace, he ordered the painters of the Inner Court to paint a picture of zhou gong holding King Zhou Cheng to accept the worship of the princes, and gave it to Huo Guang, the capital of Fengche, so that all the ministers around him knew that Emperor Wu of Han wanted to make his younger son Liu Fuling the crown prince. A few days later, Emperor Wu of Han reprimanded Zhao, who took off his hairpin and earrings and prostrated his head to plead guilty. Emperor Wu of Han ordered his men to pull Zhao Shi away and send him to the palace prison, and Zhao Shi looked back at Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Wu of Han said, "Go fast, you can't live!" Soon Zhao died in Yunyang Palace. At that time, the storm blew dust all over the sky, and the people all sighed and mourned. The emissaries of the palace carried the coffin out overnight to bury her and marked the grave.
After Zhao's death, Emperor Wu of Han asked the people around him when he was idle and asked what people thought of Zhao's death. Left and right replied, "People say they are going to have her son, so why get rid of his mother?" Emperor Wu of Han said, "Yes." This is not something that ordinary fools of all generations can understand. The reason for the civil strife in the country from ancient times to the present day is that the lord of man is young and the mother is old. The hostess was arrogant and lascivious, and no one could stop her. Haven't you heard the story of Lü Hou?"
In the spring of the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty (87 BC), Emperor Wu of Han made Liu Fuling crown prince on his deathbed. Huo Guang, the governor of Fengche, was appointed as the Grand Sima and Grand General, assisting Liu Fuling. Four days later, Emperor Wu of Han died, and fuling, who was only eight years old, took the throne as Emperor Zhao of Han.
Posthumously crowned Empress Dowager
After Emperor Zhao of Han ascended the throne, he posthumously made his mother Zhao the empress dowager, and sent 20,000 servants to build yunling (located in the south of Ganquan Palace, later known as the Female Tomb) to bury the Zhao clan and set up 3,000 households. Posthumously awarded Zhao's father the Marquis of Shuncheng, and ordered that two hundred gardens be set up in Fufeng, and Chang Cheng was sent to obey according to regulations. Marquis Shuncheng's sister Zhao Junjie was rewarded with two million yuan and enriched her slaves and houses. His brothers were rewarded according to their estrangement. None of the Zhao family served as officials in the dynasty, and only zhao's father was posthumously awarded the title.
The exhumation coffin was devoid of corpses
At the beginning, Lady Hook Yi was given death by Emperor Wu of Han, and after the funeral, the body did not stink, but the aroma drifted more than ten miles away. So he buried her in Yunling, and Emperor Wu of Han mourned her. Suspecting that she was not an ordinary person, he dug a grave and opened the coffin, and the result was that the coffin was empty, there was no body, and only a pair of shoes was left. According to another theory, after Emperor Han Zhao ascended the throne, he reburyed Lady Hook Yi and found that the coffin was empty, there was no body, leaving only a pair of silk shoes.
Hidden hook
Because Mrs. Hook Yi hid the hook with both hands, there was later a kind of hook game, which originated from this. In the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai's "Words of Pleasure in the Palace", there is a sentence "More pity for the night of the moon, the palace maid laughs and hides the hook". This shows that this kind of tibetan hook game was once popular in the Tang Dynasty imperial palace. The method of the game is: people are divided into two groups, guessing and hiding, and the group of people involved in Tibet hides the hook in one person's hand, and lets the other group of people guess, guessing that one Tibetan person gets one chip, and the one who wins three chips in a row wins. In this chess game, there are chess pieces hidden in the hand, and it is speculated whether there is a decisive one, that is, it has evolved from the development of the Tibetan hook game.
Niangniang Temple
After The death of Lady Hook Yi, in order to commemorate her, the father and elder brothers of her hometown built a Temple of Lady Fist in the village of Niangniangmiao in present-day Fucheng County, Hebei Province, and the temple enshrined the statue of Lady Hook Yi, with cigarettes and continuous worshippers.
According to the "Chronicle of Hejian Province" compiled during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1736-1796), during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (1522-1567), when Dou Zhangzhi, a soldier's attendant, passed by the Niangniang Temple, he wrote a poem of seven words: "Looking at the end of the world on the Tushan Mountain, there are people on the Zhao River." Han Wu stopped to choose lotus flowers, and the Maple Trees in Shuncheng reflected the morning glow. "Shuncheng mentioned in the poem. That is, the present-day Fucheng Tushan, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stopped and chose the beautiful lotus-like Lady Fist to live along the Zhao River (that is, the present-day Hui River).
