In the long river of history, there have also been many famous figures in the harem. For example, in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Lü Hou, who was fierce and fierce, once controlled the government after Liu Bang's death, and Wu Zetian, the first empress in mainland history, Wu Zetian, who was an empress for a long time before becoming emperor, and her decisive determination was even worse than that of Lü Hou.
However, the empress we want to talk about today is not the same as these two, today's protagonist is the harem model of Xianliang Shude, she is the Wei Zifu of the Han Wu Emperor period, Wei Zifu has the reputation of "motherly yi tianxia", diligently and earnestly served the Han Wu Emperor for forty-nine years, but finally ended up committing suicide, after the suicide note left before death was seen by the Han Wu Emperor, angrily cursed the slut, what is this?
Wei Zifu entered the palace
It is reasonable to say that women who can reach the step of empress should have a good origin, relying on family power and their own ability to become an empress. However, Wei Zifu's origin was not noble at all, she was born in the han Jing Emperor period, her father's name is no longer recorded, Wei Zifu's mother was a maid from a large family at that time. Such a birth, if according to normal logic, Wei Zifu is already very good at most to marry a brother, but the heavens pity her.
As she grew up day by day, the female eldest eighteenth changed, and Wei Zifu also became beautiful, so her mother sent her to the Marquis of Pingyang to learn song and dance, and then Wei Zifu was here to be the singer of the main family. At that time, the eldest sister of Emperor Wudi of Han married into the Marquis of Pingyang, and it happened that Emperor Wudi of Heaven went out to sacrifice, and on the way back, he happened to pass by the Marquis of Pingyang.
So Emperor Wudi of Han planned to go to the Marquis of Pingyang to see his eldest sister Princess Pingyang, at this time Emperor Wu of Han and Empress Chen had not had children, Princess Pingyang knew that Emperor Wu of Han was worried about this, so when arranging the singers, he found a group of women of national color Tianxiang, hoping that one of them would be favored by Emperor Wu of Han, including Wei Zifu.
During the meal, the singers danced, Emperor Wudi of Han was instantly confused when he saw Wei Zifu's appearance, and Princess Pingyang saw the thoughts of Emperor Wudi of Han. After a while, Emperor Wudi of Han went to the car to change clothes, and Princess Pingyang asked Wei Zifu to follow him to serve, so this was the first time that Emperor Wudi of Han and Wei Zifu got along alone.
Emperor Wu of Han, who returned to the banquet, was very happy, and rewarded the Princess Pingyang's family heavily, and when he left, he naturally brought Wei Zifu into the palace, but after entering the palace, Wei Zifu's life was not smooth all the way.
After entering the palace
Although he followed the emperor to the imperial palace, after returning home, Emperor Wu of Han seemed to have lost his memory, and even forgot About Wei Zifu, and the two did not see each other again for more than a year. Wei Zifu was very sad in this way. As the saying goes, "a woman's heart is a needle in the bottom of the sea", and the emperor's mind is simply deeper than the sea. Just when Wei Zifu was worried about this, a holy decree came from the palace: to release the old and infirm palace ladies from the harem.
It was precisely because of this holy will that Wei Zifu saw Emperor Wu of Han again, and she could not bear this torment anymore and begged Emperor Wu of Han to let her go home. At this time, Emperor Wu of Han remembered the existence of Wei Zifu, a beautiful woman, and of course he did not let Wei Zifu out of the palace, and soon after, Wei Zifu became pregnant with a dragon species. This made Emperor Wu of Han, who had never had children, very happy, and Wei Zifu received more and more favors.
At this time, Empress Chen hated Wei Zifu so much that she had not been pregnant in the palace for so many years, and she was unexpectedly taken by a little girl. So she planned to let her mother's family go to clean up Wei Zifu's brother, and her brother was even more famous, that is, the later great general Wei Qing, at this time, although Wei Qing had not yet made meritorious contributions, but his mind was flexible, he knew the news and called a group of friends to help him, and escaped this disaster.
In the following ten years, Emperor Wu of Han's favor for Wei Zifu increased day by day, and Wei Zifu was also very contentious, giving birth to three princesses and a prince. Because of her grace, her family also began to soar, and Wei Qing was one of them.
Empress Chen looked at all this, the teeth of hatred itched, she spent money to build an ancestral hall in order to obtain grace, specially hired a group of Taoist priests in the ancestral hall to "practice" to curse Wei Zifu, this matter was soon known to Emperor Wu of Han, so Empress Chen was beaten into the cold palace, Wei Zifu was made empress, when Emperor Wu of Han was only twenty-nine years old, so why did Wei Zifu later end up committing suicide?
The ending was tragic
Wei Zifu during the empress period can be called a model of the harem, and the harem she took care of was once very harmonious, basically eliminating the scandal of jealousy and mutual framing between concubines, perhaps because she had experienced it, so she had always prevented this from happening again. But as her appearance fades day by day, will Emperor Wu of Han, who is surrounded by beautiful women, continue to spoil her? Will a woman as beautiful as she was then appear to take her place?
At first, Wei Zifu did not have these worries until his son Liu Zhu was framed. At that time, Wei Qing and Huo Went ill died one after another, the strength of Wei's foreign relatives gradually decreased, and the crown prince Liu Zhao had a political enemy named Jiang Chong, who was deeply trusted by Emperor Wu of Han, and he was afraid that the crown prince Liu Zhao's succession would be unfavorable to him, so he took the initiative to be strong, and wrote that the prince asked the Taoist priests to perform demagoguery on the emperor, which was a capital crime at that time.
The crown prince was angry and led his troops to capture Jiang Chong, at that time his troops were not enough, but also borrowed the power of the mother rear guard Zifu and transferred a group of soldiers, as a result, after killing Jiang Chong, Emperor Wu of Han only knew about this matter, he sent people to investigate, but the result of this person's investigation was that the crown prince Liu Zhao wanted to lead troops to rebel, Liu Zhao was jumping into the Yellow River and could not be washed away, Emperor Wu of Han was furious and ordered the killing of the crown prince Liu Zhao.
After Wei Zifu learned of this in the palace, he was grief-stricken, originally he was old and weak, he had worked hard to serve the emperor for forty-nine years, and finally gradually lost his grace, and now even his only son was killed by the emperor's listening to rumors, so she committed suicide after writing a suicide note in grief.
After Emperor Wu of Han saw the suicide note, it was full of accusations that he believed the lies of others and killed his own son. At this time, Emperor Wu of Han was still convinced that the prince was going to rebel, so he angrily scolded the untouchables.
epilogue
Wei Zifu worked diligently all her life and gave birth to several children for Emperor Wu of Han, but as she gradually grew old and died with the heroes in the family, her use for Emperor Wu of Han became less and less, and in such a complicated political struggle and harem life, Wei Zifu's struggle process was really not easy, and the final tragic end was really lamentable.
