Regarding Wei Zifu, it should be a more legendary woman, because his relationship reversed the political trend of the Han Dynasty and also reversed the foreign relations during the Han Wudi period. It is not even an exaggeration to say that the victory in the Han-Hungarian War was due to wei Zifu's relationship. From Jianyuan's entry into the palace in the third year to zhenghe's death in the second year, Wei Zifu was in the Han Palace for 49 years, 38 years in the rear seat, and favored for 15 years. Because as he grew older, new beauties slowly entered the palace and gained favor, Wei Zifu's face gradually grew old and began to be snubbed by Emperor Wu of Han.
Unlike other people, Wei Zifu is particularly that her son was made crown prince by Emperor Wu of Han, has been carefully cultivated, and has been excellent in character and learning, her brother Wei Qing and nephew Huo Fuyi have made immortal contributions to Emperor Wu of Han, Gongsun He, Gongsun Ao and other people related to the Wei clan have always been in the center of power, and the growth of the prince has not threatened the empress.
Therefore, even though the meritorious Wei Qing and Huo Fu died of illness one after another, Wei Zifu still lived in the harem for 15 years, if there was no plague of witchcraft, it was not surprising that no one would dare to move her rear position. Although there was Wei Huo's Yu Wei, there was also Wei Zifu who was cautious and impartial, and took care of the harem for Emperor Wu of Han without deviation. Putting aside her beauty, you can see that she grew up in the Marquis of Pingyang and is not just a singer.
However, life is not smooth sailing, Wei Zifu is no exception, after Gongsun He was wiped out because of his son's involvement, the Wei clan forces were almost eliminated, there was no Wei clan force above the court to assist Liu Zhao, Emperor Wu of Han was old and old! Prince Wei is close to the age of confusion, it seems that the future successor of the Han Empire has a bright future, who knows, waiting for him is the scourge of witchcraft. Incidentally, the queen committed suicide.
Because Emperor Wu of Han was old, he also followed in the footsteps of Qin Shi Huang, one hoping for immortality, the other afraid of witchcraft curses, but he went further, he had never been jealous of witchcraft, he had been involved since the Ajiao period, and he had not escaped, and he was more convinced in his old age. Flies do not bite seamless eggs, what the authorities like, there will be people with ghost fetuses to study something, Jiang Chong of the Zhao Kingdom went to the top of the clouds after framing the King of Zhao, walked to the side of Emperor Wu of Han, and later offended the prince.
The villain never knew what convergence was, and fearing that the future prince would be guilty, he took advantage of Emperor Wu of Han's serious illness, so he preemptively framed the prince, causing the prince to kill Jiang Chong, causing the chancellor Liu Qu to attack the prince, Wei Zifu sent people to use the empress's seal and power to assist the prince, and finally the prince fled, and Emperor Wu of Han returned to Chang'an.
The dazed Emperor Wu of Han did not have time to think about the prince's affairs, nor did he show that the empress had any faults, and directly sent someone to take away the seal that symbolized the empress's power status. At this point, the life and death of the prince are unknown, the seal is taken away, and she directly committed suicide after being gradually snubbed thirty years ago. Whether Emperor Wu of Han planned to punish him or not, it was already too late.
After her death, she was hastily buried in the Nantong Bai Pavilion of Chang'an City, until her great-grandson Emperor Xuan of Han ascended the throne and was reburied. None of this had anything to do with Emperor Wu of Han, and whether she was afraid of Emperor Wu of Han's punishment, or whether she was desperate for the future after the prince fled, or whether she felt guilty about assisting the prince to raise an army and committed suicide, it was certainly not forced. She neither gave Emperor Wu of Han a chance to punish him, nor did she give herself a chance to justify herself.
