There was a handsome empress in the Han Dynasty, who was not only deposed but also deceived by the ministers, and was eventually given death by the emperor
There were two empresses in the Western Han Dynasty, the first was Xu Pingjun, the wife of Emperor Xuan of Han, and the second was Xu Shi, the empress of Emperor Cheng of Han, and the two empresses knew that there must be some relationship as soon as they heard the surname.
The two empresses were indeed related, and Xu Pingjun was Xu's cousin.
Originally, the Xu clan was just an ordinary commoner, and because of Xu Pingjun, their family became a powerful family at that time.
Emperor Yuan of Han always wanted to make up for his mother's family because he lost his mother since he was a child, and the biggest compensation was that there was another empress in the family.
It just so happened that this little cousin was about the same age as her own son Liu Xiao, so she married them, and Xu Shi was able to become a princess and empress, all because she was Xu Pingjun's cousin.
According to the generational division, Xu Shi was the cousin of the Han Yuan Emperor Liu Yi and the aunt of the Han Cheng Emperor Liu Xiao, but where the royal family cared about what generation, only depended on the emperor's mood.
In this way, The Hancheng Emperor Liu Xiao married his cousin Xu Shi, and the two were not unhappy because of the problem of generational division, according to historical records, they were very affectionate when they first got married.
The Xu clan was abolished
Liu Xiao and Xu Shi have been in love for more than ten years, and there have been two children during this period, but it is very unfortunate that these two children have died one after another, which is a particularly big blow to Xu Shi, and she is often sad that she can't help herself.
Although Xu Shigui was an empress, the harem at that time was actually controlled by empress dowager Wang Zhengjun, who had always hated this daughter-in-law especially because Xu was childless and spoiled the harem.
She even blamed the Reason why Emperor Hancheng did not have a son on Xu Shi, it was also a coincidence, just in the past few years, the celestial phenomena were abnormal, and the Wang clan henchmen blamed this strange phenomenon on Xu Shi's body, which was really a crime, originally the emperor did not pay attention to the nonsense of the ministers, but over time it was inevitable that it would be put in his heart.
In addition, due to the increase in age, the Xu family has no original unique appearance, and in the harem, there are too many young and beautiful women, and the love of the Hancheng Emperor for the Xu family is no longer what it used to be.
If there were no face and heirs alone, Emperor Hancheng would not have deposed the queen, and the blame would be on Xu's sister Xu Gurudwara, who actually cursed the emperor's Wang Meiren by performing witchcraft in the harem.
Witchcraft had always been a royal taboo, but she dared to do such a thing in the palace.
Perhaps Xu Gurudwara's original intention was also for the good of her sister, she saw that although her sister was an empress, she had been bullied by the empress, and now she had one more Wang Meiren.
What's more, this Wang Meiren was still pregnant, and if she gave birth to a child, the life of this empress in the palace would be even more difficult.
This made her sister Xu Gurudwara how could she not be angry, she simply wanted to vent her anger for her sister, but she did not expect to hurt herself and her sister.
There was no impermeable wall in the world, and after the matter was revealed, Xu Gurudwara was executed, and all the Xu clans were sent back to the fiefdom.
As an empress, the Xu clan was naturally also difficult to escape, and Emperor Hancheng was still thinking of some old feelings at this time and did not want to abolish the queen.
However, this Wang Meiren was the daughter of Wang Zhengjun's brother Wang Feng, how could they easily let go of xu shi, Wang Zhengjun originally hated Xu shi's daughter-in-law very much, and hoped that his son would abolish her as soon as possible.
Under the interference of Wang Zhengjun, Liu Xiao also had to be deposed, but although Xu Shi's position as empress was deposed, he could still live in the palace.
Later, because Xu had been living in Changding Palace, also known as Changding Guiren, the normal empress was deposed, and her story ended here, but Xu's story was far more than that.
Defrauded by the minister
Even if the Xu clan was deposed, how could the good villain have been an empress, and how could he have been deceived by a minister? This is thanks to another sister of the Xu clan, Xu Xiao.
Perhaps the sisters' intentions are good, but for Xu Shi, the two sisters have undoubtedly harmed her life.
Sister Xu Xiao's husband Long Ersihou died very early, and the young Xu Xiao was not willing to be a widow, and Xu Xiao occasionally saw Marquis Chun Yu of Dingling, and he secretly agreed.
And this Chun Yu Chang is not a decent gentleman, and the two have developed into a lover relationship as soon as they come and go.
This Aunt of Chun Yuchang was Wang Zhengjun, who was both a cousin of Liu Xiao, the Emperor of Hancheng, and a red man in front of Liu Xiao's eyes.
When Xu Shi saw that his sister had hooked up with Chun Yuchang, he thought about whether he could trust Chun Yuchang's relationship and return to the emperor again.
At this time, Xu Shi did not dare to expect to sit on the throne of the empress again, she only wanted to accompany Liu Xiao again, even if it was a concubine.
Her sister Xu Xiao was naturally very willing to help her sister, so she told Chun Yuchang what Xu shi thought.
This Chun Yuchang was also a shameless person, and he said that as long as the money was in place, he would intercede with the emperor and let the emperor make Xu Shi empress.
As soon as Xu Shi heard that he could still be an empress, he was very happy, so he gave all his money to Chun Yuchang.
And this Chun Yu Chang not only asked for money, but even spoke very flirtatiously in the letter to Xu Shi, xu Shi was also very uncomfortable to see frivolous words, but in order to be able to sit on the throne of the empress again, she could only endure.
Xu Shi is also really stupid, and even pinned his hopes on Chun Yu Chang's body, but Chun Yu Chang should have only flirted with Xu Shi in his letters, and did not really do anything wrong to Xu Shi.
After all, the Xu family had always lived in the deep palace, and although Chun Yuchang was the nephew of Empress Wang, he could not enter and leave the concubine's palace casually.
Later, Wang Mang and Chun Yuchang had a dispute over their positions, and Wang Mang reported that Chun Yuchang and Xu Shi had an ulterior secret.
Originally, the emperor did not believe that Xu Shi would do such a ridiculous thing, but the evidence in front of him made him have to believe it.
The letters exchanged between Chun Yuchang and Xu Shi were all searched, and at this moment, Emperor Hancheng was eager to kill these two people immediately.
It wasn't until Emperor Hancheng executed Chun Yuchang that Xu Realized that he had been cheated by Chun Yuchang, and now not to mention returning to the empress's throne, I am afraid that even his life will be difficult to save.
Emperor Hancheng gave Xu the last decency and gave her a glass of poisoned wine to keep the whole body.
Xu Shi enjoyed endless glory in the first half of her life, but the second half of her life was so pitiful and miserable, she had today's results, and it can be said that she had a great relationship with her two sisters.
