Emperor Wen of Han had four wives, one of whom was killed and one became an empress, and the cause of death of two was a mystery

Emperor Wen of Han Liu Heng was the fifth emperor in the history of the Western Han Dynasty, and from the perspective of blood relations, he was the fourth son of Liu Bang, and his mother was Bo Ji. According to the history books, Liu Heng's mother Bo Ji was the wife of Wei Wangbao in her early years, and the famous xiangshi Xu Negative saw Bo Ji and exclaimed that she would give birth to a son of heaven in the future. When King Leopard of Wei learned of this, he felt that Bo Ji's son would be emperor in the future and that he should become emperor himself, so he betrayed Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao.

Soon after, Wei Wangbao sent people to negotiate peace with Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang was embarrassed and angry when he learned of this, and directly sent Cao Shan and others to besiege Wei Wangbao. In the end, Wei Wangbao had no choice but to surrender due to his weakness, and his wife Bo Ji was also arrested and sent to the imperial palace to work as a weaver worker. After the death of King Bao of Wei, Bo Ji received Liu Bang Chongxin and gave birth to a son, Liu Heng.

In 195 BC, Liu Heng was crowned acting king and left the capital with his mother Bo Ji to go to the fiefdom. In 180 BC, Liu Hengshi was proclaimed emperor by his ministers, and his wife became a concubine. There are many women in Liu Heng's harem, but there are only four wives with historical records, and their fates are different, one was killed by someone, one became an empress, and the cause of death of two is a mystery.

The woman who was poisoned was the queen when Liu Heng was the acting king, and she did not leave a name in history. After marrying Liu Heng, she bore her husband four children. The ancients paid special attention to the inheritance of blood, and she was able to give birth to four children for Liu Heng, which must be very favored. According to the history books, she died long ago when Liu Heng was emperor, and the four children she gave birth to also died of unfortunate illness, which gave people an extremely strange feeling.

After the ancient emperor ascended the throne, he would generally grant amnesty to the world and posthumously seal his deceased relatives, but Liu Heng's queen did not have any posthumous titles, and even the historical record was very small. This is probably because the queen's status is too special. At that time, in order to consolidate his position, Lü Yan often asked Liu Bang's sons to marry his own people. Although Liu Heng was not favored in his early years, he was also the prince of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, and he should have also married a member of Lü Yan's clan.

When the ministers supported Liu Heng, they were doing their best to eliminate the Lü yan people, and the queen was likely to be killed, and even the children were not spared. After Liu Heng became emperor, another wife, Dou Yifang, became empress, and she gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Liu Heng, of which the eldest son Liu Qi also became emperor when he grew up, and was known as emperor in history. After Dou Yifang suffered from an eye disease, Liu Heng began to favor two other wives, namely Lady Shen and Yin Ji, whose historical records are relatively small, and the cause of death is still inconclusive to this day.
