One of the worst female emperors in China was captured because of her defeat and tortured by soldiers for three days and three nights and died!
Lead:
China as an ancient country with a history and culture of 5,000 years, the feudal system alone lasted for more than 2,000 years, in these two thousand years, the most far-reaching influence is the hierarchical order and the emperor's autocracy, for the people of the world, the heavenly boss, the second oldest earth, the third emperor, so the emperor is the largest in the world, and this position is almost always sat by men in all the dynasties. But for such a long time, some women broke this rule and challenged the feudal ethical idea of male superiority over female inferiority.
In the impression of most of us, the female emperor who often comes to mind is Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, who is also recognized as the only female emperor in history, although the reign is very short, but it has had a profound impact on history. But today I want to introduce you not to Wu Zetian, but to another female emperor who has never been heard of by countless people, and her experience is tragic, and she was finally tortured by soldiers for three days and three nights and died.
As we all know, many women in ancient times were often shy ladies in the boudoir, and under the influence of feudal ideas, such women basically would not show their faces, and when they reached the marriageable age, they would find a man who could rely on to spend this life, and this was their fate. We basically see the figure of female officials in historical materials or film and television dramas, not to mention female emperors, only because in the patriarchal society at that time, this phenomenon was not allowed. But today's protagonist is extraordinary, this person is named Chen Shuozhen, she was emperor for several months, but this has a great connection with the background of the era at that time.
When Chen Shuozhen was still an ordinary woman, when the emperor was still Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, the national strength at that time was weak, and the people were not happy. Therefore, Chen Shuozhen was optimistic about the opportunity to start developing his own forces, which is also known as the peasant uprising, but it requires extremely strong personal ability to develop his power. In the context of the times at that time, the people were very superstitious and believed in the reincarnation of the gods, so Chen Shuozhen used to be a nun in the Taoist temple to win people's hearts. Because of his outstanding appearance and slim body, it gradually began to spread among the crowd that Chen Shuo was really the immortal daughter sent by heaven to save Li Min.
Before long, Chen Shuozhen had a huge power. After that, he led many people to capture more than ten cities, and witnessed the rapid increase of his sphere of influence, so he established himself as an emperor with the name wenjia. But after all, she was leading a group of unorganized and undisciplined people, and it was only the right time and place to be able to make such achievements, and if the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress them, these people were not worth mentioning at all. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the imperial court to notice her, and it sent hundreds of thousands of troops to defeat her in a very short time, and Chen Shuozhen was captured.
After Chen Shuozhen was defeated and captured, he was given the hat of a demagogic and criminal, and directly tore his clothes and took him to the prison cart for a parade. After the parade, he was also imprisoned by the soldiers, living a dark day, not only eating and sleeping badly, but also always being bullied by the soldiers, and committing suicide after 3 days and 3 nights of torture.
epilogue:
In history, there are countless cases of peasant uprisings, but there are very few who can really overthrow the former dynasty, and the reasons for the failure are believed to be very clear to everyone. In general, the development of the times is very important and does not change due to some actions of individuals.
