Since the ancient red face is more than a thin life, this sentence tells the pain in the hearts of many beauties. Good looks and beauty were originally a big advantage for them, who had thought that in that feudal era, it would become their deadly sword.
Today, I am also telling you about a beautiful person who suffered a hard life. Although she was a noble and empress of Northern Qi, she was successively occupied by two uncles.
In anger, the empress had to strangle her own daughter with her own hands, and this sadness was really painful. So what is the process of this matter?

This Northern Qi empress was Li Zu'e,

Book of Northern Qi. Wenxuan Li's Later Biography
It has been recorded that her beauty is "Rongde is very beautiful",
If you want to choose the five ancient beauties, you must have her place.
Li Zu'e was born into a famous and prestigious family, and the family power was quite prestigious in the DPRK. It is reasonable to say that such a family lineage Li Zu'e should be able to choose marriage on her own.
But in fact, the Li family still chose to "bow their heads". Because she was looked at by Gao Yang, the son of the powerful minister Gao Huan. In this way, Li Zu'e married Gao Yang. Although Gao Yang looks average, he treats her modestly and courteously.

At that time, Gao Huan had already controlled the government, and the Eastern Wei Emperor was also in name only. After Gao Huan's death, the eldest son, Gao Cheng, was given the title of Grand Chancellor. And Gao Cheng has such power, naturally there is no one in sight.
He was even more disdainful of his silly-looking younger brother Gao Yang, and from time to time he flirted with his sister-in-law Li Zu'e. However, Gao Yang could only bear it, after all, at this time, Gao Cheng's power was too great, and if he was positive, there would be no harm and no benefit.
Later, Gao Cheng was killed by a chef who had already looked at him unfavorably, which was exactly what made Gao Yang.
In fact, Gao Yang is a very scheming person, and his previous stupid behavior was just "pretending to be crazy and selling stupid" to disguise himself to save his life.
Now, it is finally Gao Yang's turn to hold the power.
Impatient, he let the emperor take the throne and establish the "State of Qi," making himself emperor. For the matter of lihou, Gao Yang was also a person of affection and righteousness, and resolutely rejected the proposal of the ministers to set up Duan Zhaoyi as the empress, bent on establishing his wife Li Zu'e as empress.
In this way, Li Zu'e's status was further improved, and her status in the palace was more noble.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Gao Yang was still relatively attentive to the affairs of the government, and Li Zu'e also lived a good life for several years. After Northern Qi stabilized a little, Gao Yang began to swell up and became fond of killing innocents indiscriminately, and one tragedy after another was staged.
For example, in 556 AD, Gao Yang ran to the palace of his mother Zhu Ying'e after getting drunk, hoping to take a hard bow. However, Erzhu Ying'e had a strong temperament, and she was a bit of a martial artist, so she scolded Gao Yang, and as a result, she was stabbed to death by Gao Yang.
After that, once Gao Yang was displeased in his heart, he killed people at will. The ministers were very afraid and thought of a way to prepare some death row prisoners for Gao Yang to vent at any time. Gradually, there were not many prisoners left in the prison.
Among the people who came into contact with Gao Yang, except for Li Zu'e, who had not suffered from flesh and skin, everyone else had been taught by Gao Yang's cruel and crazy whip.

Living with someone so brutal all day long would be terrified. Although Li Zu'e was noble and dressed in fine clothes, her face was full of joy. For Li Zu'e's mother's family, Gao Yang will not love Wu and Wu.
Once Gao Yang was drunk again and ran to his mother-in-law's house. When Gao Yang saw his mother-in-law's pampered appearance, he was suddenly angry and shot at his mother-in-law's head with a bow and arrow. However, this arrow was deflected, and Gao Yang hurriedly shot several more arrows, but still did not hit.
At this time, his mother-in-law was already terrified and fell to her knees to beg for forgiveness. But Gao Yang angrily rebuked: "I am drunk, I don't even recognize my own mother, let alone you?" Then Gao Yang smoked dozens of whips from his mother-in-law, relieved his breath, and left satisfied.

Gao Yang was not only moody, but also behaved absurdly, often naked in the sun, or wielding a large knife around like a madman. Sharing a bed with such a person is really difficult for Li Zu'e.
However, this bit of suffering is not much for Li Zu'e, because what happened later is what really makes her miserable. After the absurd death of Gao Yang, he and Li Zu'e's son Gao Yin inherited the throne, and naturally Li Zu'e was honored as the empress dowager.
However, Gao Yin had only been emperor for a year, and the throne was taken away by his uncle Gao Yan. Gao Yin was deposed as the King of Jinan, and Li Zu'e was driven to live in Zhaoxin Palace and given empress Dowager Zhaoxin. Later, Gao Yan poisoned Gao Yin with a plan, leaving Li Zu'e to taste the grief of losing her son alone.
Although Li Zu'e's mood was extremely sad, she still had to grit her teeth and persevere. Because she also has a hope, that is, her youngest son Gao Shaode.

Gao Yan had been emperor for a year and died unexpectedly, and before his death, he passed the throne to his younger brother Gao Zhan. After Gao Zhan succeeded to the throne, he wanted to take her for himself because he remembered Li Zu'e's beauty. In order to persecute Li Zu'e, Gao Zhan used her son's life as a threat.
In this way, Li Zu'e had to endure all kinds of humiliation for her son Gao Shaode. Later, Li Zu'e became pregnant with Gao Zhan's child. This incident made Li Zu'e feel ashamed, did not have the face to see people again, and did not want to see her young son Gao Shaode.
But Gao Shaode did not understand his mother's painstaking efforts, but instead ridiculed her: "Why don't you dare to see me?" Is it not because you are pregnant as a widow and have no face to see me? This sentence even poked at Li Zu'e's sore spot.

Li Zu'e was very disgusted with the child in her belly and thought that this child should not come to this world. Therefore, when the child was born, Li Zu'e personally strangled her daughter to death. When Gao Zhan heard this, his heart was full of anger and he roared:
"You killed my daughter, and I want your son to be buried."
Therefore, Gao Zhan ordered people to summon Gao Shaode. In front of Li Zu'e, Gao Zhan ordered Gao Shaode to be beaten to death. Seeing her son being tortured like this, Li Zu'e was heartbroken and cried and went forward to obstruct. Gao Zhan was angry, and when he saw Li Zu'e desperately blocking it, his heart was even more angry.
So Gao Zhan stripped Li Zu'e's clothes off, and then whipped them fiercely, and all of a sudden, the white skin showed a series of blood marks, and then became a blur of flesh and blood.

At first, Li Zu'e still screamed. Gradually, the breath weakened, and Gao Zhan only then took his hand and flew away. Later, Li Zu'e made up her mind to become a nun. It was also a relief for her, at least not to have to deal with demons.
However, after Northern Qi was destroyed by Northern Zhou, Li Zu'e was once the empress of Northern Qi, and her name was on the roster, so she was also wanted. In this way, Li Zu'e was captured from the temple by northern Zhou soldiers and assigned to an official eunuch's family as a servant, and her life once again fell to the bottom and was full of darkness.
It was not until after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty that Yang Jian ordered a general amnesty for the world, and Li Zu'e returned to her hometown. This beautiful woman, under the oppression of the feudal dynasty, was scaly and scarred, causing people to pity.
