The man sold his wife, and eventually the wife became queen, and what happened to her former husband
We all know that the social status of women in ancient times was very low, and women who married a woman could only completely obey the will of their husbands and strictly follow the "three from four virtues" to do things. Therefore, it is very normal for men to have three wives and four concubines in ancient times, after all, the patriarchal society must continue to be incense, so women have to endure their husbands' "half-heartedness".
But not all men in ancient times had three wives and four concubines, those rich people would take concubines for themselves, and many ordinary people did not say monogamous, and some even could not get a wife. Today Xiaobian wants to talk to you about an ancient man, he sold his wife because his family was too poor, and he did not expect his former wife to become an empress, so what was his end?
This man's name was Gong Mei, a song dynasty person, and his wife was named Liu E. At that time, Gong Mei's profession was a silversmith, and it was reasonable to say that this profession was not too rich, but at least it was a good life, right? But Gong Mei's technology is not good, so the business is relatively bleak, fortunately, at that time, Liu E did not dislike him and became his wife, and the life of the two people after marriage was not rich but still quite happy.
Liu E's origin is actually not ordinary, her father served as an assassin, but later her parents died when she was very young. Orphaned, Liu E was adopted by her mother's mother's family, and later she became a singer with her extraordinary talent, until she met Gong Mei and returned to a plain life.
Liu E is beautiful and gentle, and Gong Mei is naturally very happy to marry such a virtuous wife, but such a happy day did not last long. A few years later, because Gong Mei was not doing well, the two of them became more and more bitter, and later Gong Mei had to sell Liu E.
At this time, a 16-year-old prince named Zhao Heng suddenly appeared. Sometimes fate is really wonderful, so that two seemingly unrelated and very different identities actually met together by chance. This Zhao E, who was once a singer, had to admit that she did have a certain style and charm, and Zhao Heng, the prince who had just opened his heart, was attracted to Liu E for the first time, and since then he has loved uncontrollably. However, many things in the royal family cannot be decided by themselves, how can the prince fall in love with a woman with such a status? Zhao Heng's father was also furious about this, and would never allow him to meet Liu E again.
Later, Zhao Heng had to hide from his father and Liu E, and waited until his father died and he ascended the throne as emperor before taking Liu E into his palace. But Liu E's origins were humble, and as soon as she entered the palace, she was targeted by other concubines, so she had to think of a way to get herself on her feet.
So she found her ex-husband Gong Mei, let him change it to Liu surname, she said that it was her ex-husband's sister, and summoned him into the palace to advise him, the two joined forces and became more and more open in the harem, and the unsuspecting Zhao Heng also loved Liu Mei because of his love for concubines, and even made him a high official, and Liu E also successfully sat in the position of empress by constantly blowing pillows to Zhao Heng.
