Empress Fu: A woman who has flashed by in history, her life is like a flash in the pan

She has been to this world before, and she can say that she has been famous for a while and blossomed all the way, but she is a little sad when she leaves. Her life has been glorious, but it is like a flash in the pan, making people envious and sighing. In that era of full patriarchy, a woman was always weak and deceitful no matter how far-sighted she was. Maybe she was the red poppy, and her beauty was also seen as poison by those who opposed her. Ye Shi called her Fu Daijun, and she was Empress Xiao'ai Fu, the wife of Liu Xin, the thirteenth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty.

After more than two thousand years, we have no way of knowing The real name of Empress Fu. Judging from the name given to her by Ye Shi and some historical records, Empress Fu should have been a beautiful woman, but it was also unfortunate, although her husband later became emperor and she was also a mother of the world. Empress Fu was a native of Jiaozuo, Henan today, and she did not have any prominent family lineage, but only a cousin became a concubine of Liu Yi, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and she was fortunate to enter the royal gate later. Empress Fu's cousin was historically known as Fu Zhaoyi, the grandmother of Liu Xin, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Before Becoming Emperor, Liu Xin succeeded his father as the second Dingtao King, when Fu Zhaoyi married his niece Empress Fu to Liu Xin as a princess in order to be pro-pro- and pro-progenitor.

Liu Xin, the King of Dingtao, was actually not eligible for the throne, only because Liu Xin's uncle Liu Xiao, the Emperor of Hancheng, was childless, and Liu Xin, who was closest to Emperor Hancheng, was succeeded to the name of Emperor Hancheng and was made the future successor of the Western Han Empire, the crown prince, and Empress Fu naturally became a princess at this time. Emperor Cheng of Han died in 7 BC, and Liu Xin became emperor on the throne at the beginning of April of the same year. After Liu Xin succeeded to the throne, Empress Fu was made empress.

Fu Zhaoyi, who was originally only the first emperor Zhaoyi, became the empress dowager because his grandson became emperor. The entire Fu family, at this time, because of the power of the two daughters, instantly became the most prominent foreign family in the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, the coffin of Emperor Hancheng was still in the front hall and had not yet been buried, and the Han Emperor was anxious to seal the Fu family, which was inconsistent with etiquette. The Fu family's favor and wealth came too quickly, and at that time, Fu Shidan wrote a letter of advice, thinking that the Han Emperor had sealed the Fu family too hastily, and this was not a long-term solution.

Empress Fu and the Fu family were honored and rich because of Liu Xin, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and also fell into the abyss because of Liu Xin. The Han Emperor inherited the throne at the age of twenty, at the best of his life. However, this successor did not think of glorifying the ancestral society, but blindly covetous, and finally after becoming emperor for seven years at a young age, he died because of excessive indulgence. There are also some sources that the Han Emperor died of taking an overdose of an aphrodisiac. In short, the young emperor died of playthings and excessive consumption of self.

The Western Han Dynasty, which had been in turmoil since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, did not achieve revival in the hands of the Han Emperor, but declined more and more through his generation. After the death of the Han Emperor, the families and women who used to rely on him and glorified the portal also lost their patrons for a while. Among them were Empress Fu and her cousin Fu Zhaoyi, as well as the Fu family behind them.

After the death of Emperor Ai of Han, Empress Fu was forced to retire to Gui Palace with the intervention of another foreign family in the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Jia. Only a month later, Empress Fu was deposed along with Emperor Cheng's empress Zhao Feiyan. In the end, Empress Fu, who did not know where to go, chose to commit suicide in the mausoleum of the Han Emperor to end the rest of her unfortunate life.

In 1 BC, Empress Xiaomei of the Western Han Dynasty committed suicide in the Yiling Tomb of the Cemetery where her husband was buried, and according to the fact that the Han Emperor was only 24 years old when he died, Empress Fu should also be at the most gorgeous age when she committed suicide. The withering of a flower did not disturb the whole spring, the suicide of a woman did not cause much turmoil, and the departure of an empress did not have much impact on the Western Han Dynasty.

When she was born, and where she was buried after committing suicide. After more than two thousand years of history, we can no longer know today. She had come to this world before, and when she came, she blossomed and cheered all the way, but when she left, she was sad and lonely. The ancients did not see the present time and the moon, and this month once looked at the ancients. Life is fleeting, but Empress Fu's life is shorter and more miserable than that of ordinary women because of politics.
