There is a custom in the Chinese folk tradition called "grasping week", when the child reaches the age of one, the adult will let him grab the object at will, and which one he catches means that he will engage in a profession related to it in the future. Although this custom is not credible, it reflects people's psychology: everyone always feels that the performance of a child who has just been born will be related to his future, and there are always similar records of great figures in history.
At birth, there are many sayings such as the room full of fragrant fragrances and the full room of red light, and there are not many in the history books, and Cao Cao's son Cao Pi is like this. However, these things are true or false only in people's hearts, and the baby girl to be talked about today, according to the history books, did not cry for three days after birth, And Xiangshi predicted that she would be a mother in the world in the future, but would harm the family, and this baby girl was neither Empress Lü nor Empress Wu, but Empress Yan of the Han Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty was divided into the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, and after the "Rebellion of Wang Mang" in the last years of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, and after Liu Xiu's death, he and Yin Lihua's concubine Liu Zhuang took the throne, and the history was called The Han Ming Emperor. During the reign of Emperor Ming of Han, he appointed a woman with the surname Yan as a nobleman, and the woman's brother was named Yan Zhang, and the Book of Later Han records that Yan Zhang's outstanding ability should have been reused, but he only served as a small infantry lieutenant.
The reason was naturally that Emperor Hanming deliberately suppressed foreign relatives. The foreign forces of the Han Dynasty often disrupted the situation in the dynasty, and Emperor Ming's consideration also had some truth. But he could never have imagined that Yan Zhang's sister did not do anything to the Han Dynasty, but Yan Zhang's granddaughter was directly promoted to empress, and the power of foreign relatives could not be suppressed at all. In 114 AD, Yan Ji was elected to the harem and became the favorite of Liu Hu, the sixth emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Emperor An of Han was very fond of Yan Ji, made her a nobleman, and soon became empress. When Yan Ji was born, her father Yan Chang once looked for a well-known Xiangshi to see her, and Xiangshi said that prophecy and left, and the Yan family was not at ease, who knew that all this had really come true. Yan Ji was spoiled and pampered from an early age, and her appearance was beautiful, and after entering the palace, she was very jealous, and she went to great lengths to let Emperor Han Andi spoil herself and target other concubines.
Originally, if it was just jealousy, it was also a common sentiment of people, but Yan Ji learned from his predecessors and actually poisoned the palace maid who gave birth to the only heir for Emperor Han'an. There is no impermeable wall in the world, Yan Ji's behavior is naturally clear to some people, Emperor Han'an may not be unaware, and the empress dowager in the palace, Tang Shi, understands even more that Deng Shi is not the mother of Emperor Han An, and after she came to the dynasty, she picked the son of the clan relative and became emperor.
Empress Deng hoped that the emperor would have a queen, otherwise she and her family would bear the infamy. Under her protection, Emperor An of Han's son Liu Bao grew up smoothly and was made crown prince in 120 AD. At this time, Yan Ji's empress had been the empress for 4 years, she had no fertility, and she was very unwilling to let other women overtake her in the future, so she would kill Liu Bao's mother. Afterwards, the more Yan Ji thought about it, the more afraid she became.
People are always thieves with a weak heart, Yan Ji thought, the prince will be called emperor in the future, and he will certainly not be able to tolerate his mother-killing enemy! Whoever blows the wind in front of him will be finished. At this time, she suddenly thought of Huo Chengjun, the empress of emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty, who had asked him to come to his palace to eat poisonous food for him in order to kill the prince. Yan Ji thought that she certainly couldn't be so direct, that would be too stupid.
Therefore, Yan Ji took another approach: she and the others kept saying bad things about Liu Bao in front of Emperor Han'an, and finally let Emperor Han'an depose the crown prince and change the crown prince to king. At the same time, the Yan family, including seven- and eight-year-old children, were reused. Unexpectedly, Emperor An of Han died soon, and Yan Ji became the regent of the Empress Dowager Linchao, and she learned from her example, and also selected a clan child to be made emperor.
As a result, the young child died less than a year after ascending the throne, and Yan Ji was devastated. However, Liu Bao seized the opportunity to unite the eunuch forces to ascend the throne in one fell swoop, and then killed the Yan family that was a blessing in disguise, leaving Yan Ji with a life and raising her in the palace. Yan Ji had painstakingly plotted all her life, but because of a momentary greed that affected the entire family, although that prophecy was established, I am afraid that it was more yan Ji who made up her own hands, and did not do anything to that Xiangshi!
