Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had two empresses before his death, and the Yuan Hou Chen clan was the protagonist of the story of "Jinwu Zangjiao", who was deposed because of the wujiao, and the successor Wei Zifu was Wei Qing's sister and Huo's aunt, who committed suicide in despair because of the wujiao.
Liu Fuling, the Emperor of Han Zhao, who succeeded Emperor Wu of Han, was not an empress, but another important woman on Emperor Wu's side, namely the famous Lady Zhao of the Hook Yi Clan, because Liu Fuling was made crown prince, and Lady Hook Yi was left by Emperor Wu to die to her mother.
When Lady Zhao entered the palace, Wei Zifu was still sitting in the Pepper Room Hall, and Zhao's entry into the palace was full of bizarre colors, it is said that when Emperor Wu was touring the Hejian Kingdom, some alchemists said that there were strange women here, and finally found Zhao and dedicated them to Emperor Wu.
Zhao Shi was only ten years old when he met Emperor Wu, his fists were clenched, holding a small jade hook, so he was called "Lady Of Fist", Emperor Wu took him back to the palace to live in Ganquan Palace, called "Lady Hook Yi", very pampered, and soon after gave birth to Emperor Wu's youngest son Liu Fuling.
Regarding the story of Zhao's entry into the palace, later generations usually think that it is because some people want to curry favor with Emperor Wu, especially Zhao's father was punished and put into the court as an internal servant, there is a motive in this regard, but in any case, Zhao is indeed very favored by Emperor Wu.
Just four years after Liu Fuling's birth, the famous plague of witchcraft in the Han Dynasty broke out, and the disaster was extremely widespread, and the crown prince Liu Zhu, his mother Wei Zifu, and most of the Wei clan lost their lives in this catastrophe.
After Liu Zhi committed suicide, Emperor Wu did not appoint a crown prince for a long time, because Liu Che's other sons were really not very good, Liu Dan the King of Yan had bad intentions, Liu Xu the King of Guangling was absurd, and the rest were Liu Qi, who was born of Li Fu and Liu Fuling, who was born of Zhao.
Compared with each other, Liu Che thought that his younger son Liu Fuling was intelligent and healthy, similar to his childhood, and Liu Qi had previously had the intention of supporting foreign relatives of the former dynasty, and Emperor Wu was deeply jealous, so Emperor Wu decided to appoint Liu Fuling as the new crown prince.
New problems immediately came, Liu Fuling was very young at that time, and his mother Lady Hook Yi was still very young, the Han Dynasty greatly respected filial piety, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, the empress dowager hung curtain supervision, which was also in line with the rules of the Han Dynasty, which also became the reason why many foreign relatives in the Han Dynasty interfered in politics.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's empress Lü Yan came to the court to claim the system, although Lü Hou was outstanding in merit, but she was a rooster Si Chen, almost made the Lü family replace the Liu family, which made the later Han Emperor very afraid, especially emperors such as Emperor Wu of Han.
Not only that, Emperor Wu of Han's own mother Lady Wang was not a fuel-saving lamp, the reason why Emperor Wu was able to become the crown prince and successfully ascended the throne, Empress Wang's merits were extraordinary, Emperor Wu was both grateful to his mother, but also very afraid.
For Emperor Wu, if Liu Fuling ascended the throne at a young age, then the power of the court would naturally fall into the hands of his young mother, Zhao Shi, a young widow, who was like the eighth son of King Huiwen of Qin, it was unimaginable and had to be guarded against.
Judging from the relevant records, Lady Hook Yi did not have any unusual behavior during the period of Emperor Wu, and she has always been honest and dutiful as her favorite concubine, but this may be the place where she is smart, but it may also be the place where Emperor Wu is very jealous of him.
If Lady Hook Yi is a person with no city in the chest, then such a person is really easy to be used by the former imperial courtiers, not to mention that Lady Hook Yi is beautiful and young, naturally not willing to be lonely, and it is very likely that the Jiangshan of the Han Dynasty will fall into the hands of foreign surnames, which is not impossible.
In addition, there is also a possibility, that is, Lady Hook Yi is a person who is very deeply scheming in the city government, but her mind is still seen by Emperor Wu, and Emperor Wu is because he sees that Lady Hook Yi is not a convenient person, so he wants to get rid of her.
The lord is young and strong, the imperial power is bound to fall into the hands of the mother and queen's foreign relatives, which is not uncommon in all the dynasties, Emperor Wu was extremely suspicious in his later years, in line with the principle of preferring to be indulgent, he could not let go of Lady Hook Yi, since Liu Fuling wanted to be emperor, then Lady Hook Yi could only go down to Huangquan.
