In ancient times, a woman exhausted her life's heart, and she may not be able to win the honor and honor, she easily got it at a young age, but is she really happy?
One: the youngest queen in history
In 87 BC, Emperor Wu of Han collapsed, and passed the throne to Liu Fuling, the son of Lady Hook Yi, who was only 8 years old at the time, for Emperor Zhao, because Liu Fuling was too young, so Emperor Wu of Han intimately left him three ministers, namely: Sima Da, the great general Huo Guang, the left general Shangguan Jie, and the che general Jin Riju.
Huo Guang had two daughters, who were married to Shangguan An, the son of Shangguan Jie, and Jin Ilju," the son of Jin Ilju, so that the three ministers of the Three Ministers of Life were just like a family, especially Huo Guang and Shangguan Jie, probably because of the "same kind", they were even better and had nothing to say, resulting in "every time the light came out, the light often entered the decision" on behalf of the light.
Huo Guang every time he takes a vacation, he is replaced by Shangguan Jie to handle political affairs, the Western Han Dynasty is different from later generations, pay attention to "officials five days a day off", officials can take a day off every five days of work, more superior than our double holidays, so calculated down, a month can be at least five days off, these five days, Huo Guang can rest assured that Shangguan Jie acted as the power of the Great Sima and the Great General, to help him deal with political affairs, this is like giving people a handle, in the imperial court full of whirlpools, full of intrigues, if it is not a matter of life and death, it is simply impossible. The relationship between the two is so good that some major matters can be discussed together without avoiding taboos.
Originally, everyone thought that the two families could be related to honor and disgrace and solidarity, but after four years, a major event occurred, which made Shangguan Jie have some other ideas about Huo Guang, and since then, the two families have looked like they are separated, and finally swing their swords at each other, what is the big deal?
Regarding this important matter, at first, Shangguan Jie naturally had plans for himself, but in fact, since the two families intersected in life and death, shared honor and disgrace, and the Shangguan family developed, didn't it mean that the Huo family also developed together, but Shangguan Jie also did not expect that Huo Guang could hit him in the face in this matter and make him unable to get off the table, and the matter was like this.
In 83 BC, Liu Fuling ascended the throne for four years, and he was already twelve years old, so what did it matter if he was twelve?
Basically get rid of the ignorant era of and living mud, you can marry a daughter-in-law, the little emperor marries a wife, that is, the future empress, it is a matter of Jiangshan Sheji, ten million sloppy, must be handled.
Originally, liu Fuling's marriage should be handled by his parents, Emperor Wu of Han and Lady Hook Yi, but these two are not there, and the only person who takes care of Liu Fuling is the eldest daughter of Princess Eyi Gaichang designated by Emperor Wu of Han before his death, princess Eyi Gaichang is nearly twenty years older than Liu Fuling, and has already put herself into the role of adoptive mother, and now the "adopted son" wants to marry a wife, how can she not be so careful.
At first, Princess Eyi Gaichang took a fancy to the daughter of the old acquaintance Zhou Yang, but after the news spread, Shangguan Jie stopped doing it, and he had a 6-year-old granddaughter, Shangguan Shi, although she was a little younger, she also wanted to be an empress.
The idea was decided, and he quickly found Huo Guang and said, My granddaughter is also your granddaughter who wants to fight for this empress, and you must always exert your strength when you are your grandfather.
For this matter, Huo Guang's attitude was "light is not allowed", Shangguan clan is too young, when the empress is absolutely not OK, the family weng here touched a nose of ash, Shangguan Jie is very unwilling, decided to think of another idea, what idea?
Princess Eyi Gaichang's private life was very bold, there was a well-known "foreign husband" Ding Wairen, the Western Han Dynasty, according to the custom, only the Marquis can marry a princess, but Ding Outsider, although it is good with the princess and the two sons, but the title has never gone up, the title can not go up with the Eyi Gaichang Princess as two sons, the Eyi Gaichang Princess, naturally has always wanted to ask for a marquis for Ding Gai, but has been suffering from no suitable excuses, opportunities.
Now, Shangguan Jie had something to ask for, so he went down the slope and quickly sent his son Shangguan An out of the horse, and found Ding Wairen and said: "Hearing the elder lord and daughter, An Zi has a good appearance, sincerely because the elder lord has to enter the queen, with the father and son of the subject in the dynasty and the weight of the pepper room, the success lies in the foot, the Han family story is often based on the marquis shang lord, why worry about the foot and not seal the marquis?" ”
I heard that the eldest princess wants to choose a woman to enter the palace, my daughter has a good appearance, if you can take advantage of the opportunity of the eldest princess to choose a daughter to enter the palace and become an empress, our father and son are officials in the imperial court, and there is a pepper room for dependence, it all depends on you to complete, the old practice of the Han family is to let the marquis marry the princess as a wife, are you still worried about not being able to seal the marquis?
Although it is very euphemistic, but the meaning is still very straightforward, as long as you let the emperor marry my daughter, my father and son will guarantee you the title of marquis, and marry the eldest princess as a wife, Ding Wairen heard that there was this good thing, what is the daughter of the Zhou Yang clan, and quickly tell princess Eyi Gaichang.
Princess Eyi Gaichang loved Ding Wairen deeply, and naturally did everything she could to say to him, so Shangguan Jie's granddaughter, Shangguan An's daughter, and Huo Guang's granddaughter Shangguan Shi entered the palace in this way, first as a concubine, and a month later, married Liu Fuling, who was only 6 years old at the time, becoming the youngest empress in history. So, after she became empress, did Ding Wairen get the marquis as she wished?
Second: The intersection of life and death turns against each other
As the saying goes, people will change with their status, originally Shangguan Ji bowed down to Huo Guang, and was willing to listen to Huo Guang's meaning, but now, his own granddaughter became the empress, proud and indulgent, and gradually did not put Huo Guang in his eyes, always wanted to replace his seat, of course, this matter did not break out at once.
Shangguan Clan became empress, Princess Eyi Gaichang and Ding Wairen helped a lot, Shangguan Jie in order to further improve relations with these two people, of course, to fulfill the promise, but although the idea is good, the matter of sealing the Marquis he said does not count, must huo Guang nod, but when the Shangguan father and son found Huo Guang, it was very surprising that Huo Guang actually beat their faces in this matter, thinking that Ding Wairen had no merit, it was impossible to make him a hou.
Huo Guang slapped the face of the official father and son in such a dignified manner, and the shangguan father and son, remembering that they had boasted in front of Ding Wairen and Princess Eyi Gaichang, had a face that suddenly turned red.
PiFu had no faith, and he still didn't know what to do, not to mention that they, the high-ranking officials of the tangtang court, had since then deeply hated Huo Guang, and the friendship between life and death had become such a vendetta, and Princess Eyi Gaichang also hated Huo Guang because of Ding Wairen, plus the third son of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Dan, the Yan king who always wanted to be emperor but was deeply jealous of Huo Guang, the three parties formed an anti-Huo alliance and secretly discussed how to put Huo Guang to death.
After three years of such planning, by 81 BC, everything was ready and finally began to attack Huo Guang, and this year, Huo Guang was on leave, and according to the custom, political affairs were handed over to Shangguan Jie as an agent, where could Huo Guang have imagined that the family man, who originally thought that he could entrust his life to life, would actually take advantage of this opportunity to attack him, what did Shangguan Jie do?
Together with Princess Eyi Gaichang and Liu Dan the Prince of Yan, they wrote to Liu Fuling together, saying: "The light out of the capital Lang Yulin, the road is called the foot, the taiguan is placed first... Su Wu had sent the Xiongnu to captivity for twenty years without surrendering, and was still a vassal state, while the great general Shi Chang was a lieutenant of Sosu Andu, and he was also a lieutenant of Yimo Province. The light is arbitrary, and there is a suspicion that there is a very special. Chendan is willing to return to Fu Xi, enter the guard, and detect the change of the traitor. ”
All in all, the three counts, trespassing, unfair reward and punishment, and arbitrary power, ultimately boiled down to the belief that Huo Guang had an "extraordinary" heart and was very likely to rebel in order to win Liu Fuling's trust.
Liu Dan, the king of Yan, also pretended to be willing to return the seals of the princes and kings, come to the capital to be the emperor's guard, and defend the emperor's safety, at that time Liu Fuling was only fourteen years old, according to common sense, fourteen-year-old children understood what, the old man, brother, and sister together said huo Guang was bad, and also said that the words were conclusive, worried, Liu Fuling would definitely believe it.
However, they underestimated Liu Fuling's wisdom, and Liu Fuling did not send it after receiving the letter from the three of them, but Huo Guang was frightened when he heard the news, and the next day he was exempted from the crown and went to Liu Fuling to plead guilty, but Liu Fuling comforted him: "The great general does not have to worry, I know that you are wronged." ”
Huo Guang was very strange, how do you know, Liu Fuling said: "The general's Guangming Dulang belongs to the ear; it has not been ten days since the lieutenant was transferred, how did the King of Yan know about it?" And the general is right, and there is no need for a lieutenant. ”
These accusations they said were all within ten days, how did the Yan King, who was thousands of miles away, know? Moreover, if the general really wanted to rebel, he would not need to make such a big move. Liu Fuling was not stupid, he knew who to trust, and while comforting Huo Guang, he also carried a knock and beat him, this emperor was really very wise.
Shangguan Jie and other plans that had been planned for several years had easily given Liu Fuling a clear understanding, and Shangguan Jie was completely desperate, he knew that the relationship between the two could no longer be the same as before, and what should he do if he could not do the same as before?
One did not do, the second did not stop, let Princess Eyi Gaichang come forward to invite Huo Guang to the banquet, the banquet was designed to kill, kill Huo Guang, depose Liu Fuling, and then support the King of Yan as emperor.
At that time, someone asked, if you let King Yan become emperor, what will happen to your granddaughter, Shangguan, who has already become an empress? The person who asked this question still had a little conscience, and was still willing to think about the young Shangguan clan, but how did Shangguan Jie, the grandfather of the Shangguan clan, answer?
Very desperate, Shangguan Jie said: "The dog that chases the elk, be gu suo evil!" ”
Can a hound chasing an elk still take care of a bunny? Quite simply, for the sake of the throne, for the sake of power, sacrificing a little granddaughter is nothing, and the Shangguan clan was thus abandoned by his own grandfather.
Three: 8 years old next will, 15 years old to say a word
Shangguan Jie's plan was soon denounced, Huo Guang quickly led troops to quell the rebellion, and as a result, Shangguan Jie's family was exterminated, and Liu Dan, the King of Yan, Princess Eyi Gaichang, and Ding Wairen committed suicide one after another, and an imminent chaos was quickly quelled.
Only Shangguan Jie's granddaughter, the Shangguan Empress who was regarded as a little rabbit, was exonerated because of "ignorance" and continued to be her empress, or, here is huo Guang's meaning, after all, Shangguan shi is still his granddaughter, and the role of the living granddaughter is much greater than the role of the dead granddaughter, Huo Guang calculated well, and the Shangguan clan did help him a lot later.
After the Shangguan Rebellion was calmed down, the Shangguan clan was only 8 years old, at this time, Huo Guang was anxious, what was he anxious about? Liu Fuling is fifteen years old?
What does it mean to be fifteen? You can have a child, this child is likely to become a prince in the future, then it must be his own talent, but how can he make the prince his own person?
Is there anything else? Hurry to let Liu Fuling and Shangguan Clan round house, hurry to let Shangguan Clan get pregnant, but still that sentence, the ideal is very full, the reality is very bone, Huo Guang's idea is good, but Shangguan Clan is only 8 years old, she has the ability to have children, what to do without this skill?
When asking Liu Fuling and the Shangguan clan round house, Liu Fuling pushed that "the body is uneasy", the body is not good, since the health is not good, then do not get close to other women, so Huo Guang, in addition to asking all the palace women to wear poor pants, also hinted that the Shangguan clan, by her use of the empress's mastery of the inner palace, personally under the yi will, to the effect that for the emperor's health plan, all women in the harem are forbidden to serve the emperor. This is the shangguan clan, the youngest empress in history, a decree made when she was 8 years old, and the result?
In 74 BC, Liu Fuling collapsed, wuhou, when Shangguan was 15 years old, from the youngest empress in history to the youngest empress in history, but do you think that her record is limited to this?
After Liu Fuling's death, Huo Guang began to worry about who to choose as emperor, so he searched and searched for Liu He, the grandson of Emperor Wu of Han and Lady Li, Liu He the Prince of Changyi. Speaking of this Liu He, the good things of heaven are coming, but he does not cherish them well, and he has reigned for two months and committed more than two thousand evils.
The Book of Han says: After the death of Emperor Xiaozhao, the ministers unanimously elected the king of Changyi to mourn, but the king of Changyi, after putting on the mourning clothes, had no sense of sorrow, and also abandoned etiquette and righteousness, did not eat vegetarian food on the road, sent his entourage of officials to rob the women, and used a sheltered car to get them to the inn where he lived. From the beginning of arriving in the capital to see the empress dowager and being made crown prince, he often bought chickens and pigs privately to eat. After receiving the seal and the seal in front of the coffin of Emperor Zhao, he opened the seal at the place of mourning and no longer sealed it. The officials of the retinue also took the runes and led more than 200 people from the palace, horse officials, and officials and slaves of the King of Changyi into the palace, often playing games with them in the forbidden palace. When I personally went to the place where the seal was kept and took away the sixteen runes, morning and evening when I went to the coffin to weep and sacrifice...
Wait, in short, rude, overstepping, therefore, Huo Guang had the meaning of abolishing the king of Changyi and establishing a new jun, but the emperor could be deposed, and the new jun must be consulted by the Shangguan clan, the young empress dowager.
The song was quickly sent to the Shangguan clan, and after the Shangguan clan read the song, he issued an edict: "Yes", at the age of 15, he said only one word "yes" to the king of Changyi, and then the king of Changyi was deposed.
The youngest empress in history, at the age of 8, made a decree that no palace daughter was allowed to serve the emperor, and as a result, the emperor was extinct, and the 15-year-old said a word, and the result was the abolition of the King of Changyi, which changed history and changed the direction of history, and her actions were just like her age, which was so unexpected, but was all this really what she meant?
After the abolition of the King of Changyi, Huo Guang also welcomed the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of Han, the grandson of Liu Zhao, the prince of Wu, who grew up in the people, as emperor, for Emperor Xuan of Han, in 74 BC, Emperor Xuan of Han ascended the throne, Shangguan Shi, the empress dowager only served for more than a month, and then at the age of 15, she became the youngest empress dowager in history.
After that, there was no more, after Emperor Xuan of Han ascended the throne, he and Huo Guang began a new lively story of power struggle, and the Shangguan clan, living in the deep palace, still acted as Huo Guang's puppet, and from time to time expressed some opinions favorable to Huo Guang, until he collapsed in 37 BC, at the age of 57, and was buried in Pingling with Emperor Han Zhao, her husband who had little impression on her, and completed her brilliant and lonely life.
The youngest queen in history, 8 years old next will, 15 years old to say a word, all changed history, 15 years old reached the peak of all women's lifelong pursuit, although it seems to be very remarkable, but the result?
In Grandpa's eyes, she was a little rabbit that could be abandoned at any time; in Grandpa's eyes, she was a puppet who could fake a tiger; in her husband's eyes, she was a wife who didn't know how to treat her. Whether Shangguan's life is lucky or pathetic can only be seen.
