The most pitiful empress of the Han Dynasty was probably Zhang Yan. When he was 11 years old, he was forced by Lü Hou to marry his uncle as empress. On the day of the big wedding, Zhang Yan even joyfully toasted Emperor Hui, saying: "Nephew Ah Yan he uncle His Majesty the Emperor ten thousand years." "This little empress, who began to be widowed at the age of 15, changed 3 emperors in the court, she was still called empress, and then until she died at the age of 40, she was still innocent.
When Zhang Yan was a child, she was praised by Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, saying that when she grew up, she would be more beautiful than Lady Qi. She is the daughter of Princess Lu Yuan, the daughter of Liu Bang, and she marries her own uncle, starting from her unfortunate father Zhang Ao. Her father, Zhang Ao, was initially knighted as King. However, one year, when her maternal grandfather, liu Bang, was fighting against the rebel general Chen Feng, who had established himself as king, he passed by Zhang Ao's fiefdom, drank too much, and put on the prestige of the old man, scolding Zhang Ao. Zhang Ao himself was nothing, his subordinates were not convinced, and took it upon themselves to assassinate Liu Bang, but they failed, implicating Zhang Ao, demoting his title to two ranks, and becoming the Marquis of Xuanping.
Princess Lu Yuan was not happy, and ran to Lü Hou every day to complain, wanting to restore the status of her family. When Liu Bang died, Liu Ying succeeded to the throne, Lü Hou had great power, the mother and daughter were combined, and the brain hole was wide open, so that Zhang Yan married Liu Ying, so that not only could she "kiss and add relatives", but also ensure that Princess Lu Yuan's family, as a foreign relative, was added to the official and knighthood.
It was Liu Ying and Zhang Yan who suffered. Unfortunately, a Liu Ying has a cowardly personality and is obedient to her mother, and a Zhang Yan is too young to understand anything, and this inexplicable marriage has become like this. However, although Liu Ying's personality is weak, he also knows that this combination is really contrary to human morality, plus Zhang Yan is too small, so until 3 years later, Liu Ying was depressed and depressed, and she never had a substantial relationship with Zhang Yan.
After Liu Ying's death, Lü Hou made Liu Ying and Liu Gong, the son of a palace maid, emperor and listened to the government himself, but did not let Zhang Yan be promoted to empress, or let her call herself empress, herself called empress. After a few years, Liu Gong, who grew up gradually, did not want to take revenge until his own mother was left by Lü Hou, so he said a lot of words to take revenge, and was deposed by Lü Hou. Lü Hou made Liu Yi emperor instead, or let Zhang Yan be empress dowager and make herself empress.
After Lü Hou's death, the ministers eliminated the Lü family and made Liu Ying's fourth brother Liu Huan emperor, and Zhang Yan was not too involved because of her young age, but let her change the palace to live, or was still called empress.
After Zhang Yan's death, there was no lavish funeral, no one proposed to give her a title or anything, and even the body was simply buried in a simple grave. Until the Wei and Jin dynasties, people remembered Zhang Yan's cuteness and kindness, worshipped her as a silkworm god and a flower god, and built a temple for her. At this point, a little girl's involuntary life has finally settled the dust.
