When it comes to the more famous beauties in history, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely the four beauties. But if it is a top beauty, it must be more than these four.
There is such a beautiful woman in history, you may not have heard of her deeds, but you must have heard of her name, she is Zhao Feiyan.
There is an idiom that talks about her, called Yan Xiaohuan Fei, which means that if fat is beautiful, the most beautiful is Yang Yuhuan. If thinness is beautiful, the most beautiful is Zhao Feiyan.
Zhao Feiyan's figure is slender and very thin. Legend has it that if a samurai stretches out his hand, Zhao Feiyan can dance on that person's hand.
Moreover, Zhao Feiyan also had a physical defect, that is, this defect made the then emperor Hanchengdi very fascinated, and even did not hesitate to abandon the imperial government for Zhao Feiyan. So what is Zhao Feiyan's flaw, with such great lethality?
Two sisters from ordinary backgrounds
When it comes to Zhao Feiyan, then you have to put her sister Zhao Hede and her together and say, the sisters use the four words of red face and misfortune to evaluate is absolutely accurate. Both of them are very beautiful, but they have a bad reputation in history, although they are not a disaster for the country and the people, but they also toss the Western Han Dynasty enough.
Ordinary women in the harem, if the maiden family background is deep, the emperor has to look up to her, such as Concubine Hua in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", who is domineering in the harem as the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi with her brother.
But the sisters' origins are very ordinary, even low, they are ordinary children of ordinary people. After the birth, the parents saw that the twins and two girls were really unable to be raised at home, so they thought of sending the sisters to the palace to become palace maids.
The parents sent the sisters to the Yang'a Princess Mansion through their relationship, and as the two grew older, the longer they looked, the better they looked. The princess found that there was such a good-looking beauty in her house, and she had to be well tuned, so she arranged for someone to teach the sisters to dance.
Just one day, the princess's brother Han called Emperor Liu Xiao to her sister's house as a guest, and Princess Yang'a said to the emperor that there was a beautiful woman in the palace of the courtier's sister, can you call it out for His Majesty to see. The emperor was very happy when he heard it, and after seeing Zhao Feiyan's beautiful dancing, he was fascinated at that time.
Back in the palace, Emperor Hancheng was also very worried about this beauty. Within a few days, a divine decree arrived at the princess's mansion, and Zhao Feiyan entered the palace and became the concubine of Emperor Hancheng.
Subsequently, Zhao Feiyan introduced his sister Zhao Hede into the palace, and the sisters began to serve the emperor at the same time.
Grace alone
Both sisters are very good-looking, but they have their own characteristics, and each uses his own specialties to make the emperor very fascinated by the sisters.
What are the characteristics of Zhao Feiyan? One is that the dance is very good, and the other is very thin. It is said that once Zhao Feiyan was dancing for the emperor by the river, and suddenly a demon wind came, which almost blew Zhao Feiyan away.
Seeing that she was about to fly in the air like a kite, the samurai next to her quickly pulled her down. Seven or eight people worked together to pull her to the ground, but her skirt was pulled one fold after another.
Zhao Feiyan then danced, and the pleated skirt in the process of dancing was very beautiful when swaying in the wind. The emperor immediately said: "I think this dress should be called the Liuxian skirt." Comparing Zhao Feiyan to a fairy in the sky shows the emperor's favor for Zhao Feiyan.
Zhao Feiyan can get such favor from the emperor, except for dancing well and looking good, there is no other reason, of course, there is.
In addition to her own appearance, Zhao Feiyan also has a physical defect. When Zhao Feiyan was a child, because of the large number of people in her family and the poor conditions, she later entered the princess mansion early, resulting in her malnutrition since she was a child, her body was very weak, and her bone development was also very unsound.
Later, although the material conditions were better, the physiological defects since childhood could not be cured, which also led to Zhao Feiyan's body being very weak and the bones were almost non-existent.
This physical defect not only led to her high attainment in dance, she could dance extremely difficult dances, and many of his dance movements could not be copied, but also made Emperor Han Zheng very fascinated by him, and even to the point of ignoring the imperial government.
The younger sister Zhao Hede is different from her sister, although her posture is also very beautiful, but she is not as thin as her sister, according to the current words, she is called thin and undressed and flesh, and she is also very favored by the emperor. Even said directly: such a gentle township, do not Baiyun township.
In history, it is not uncommon for two sisters to serve the emperor at the same time, but generally one is favored, the other is not favored, or both are not favored. But there are few like the two sisters, both of whom are very favored, and the two even unite against the other concubines of the harem.
As the sisters' status continues to rise, the only person who can threaten them in the harem is the empress. At that time, the empress had no children, so she wanted to make herself pregnant with the emperor's child through some witchcraft in order to better consolidate her position.
However, witchcraft was a taboo in the imperial family of the Han Dynasty, and when the sisters learned about the empress, they immediately reported it to the emperor. After this incident, the empress was deposed, Zhao Feiyan became the new empress, and her sister became a noble concubine.
Final ending
Although the sisters were very favored by the emperor and achieved supremacy in the harem, the sisters also had a common fatal flaw, that is, neither of them had children.
It is said that the two of them used a medicine, which is called polymyo pills. This medicine can make the two of them feel better than snow and light in size, but this medicine is also extremely damaging to people's bodies, and it also makes it impossible for the two to conceive the emperor's child.
In the feudal dynasty, under the premise that the mother is expensive with the son, it is always criticized that the prince cannot be born. If a concubine gives birth to a prince at this time, the status of the two will be unsecured.
Therefore, the sisters made a fierce decision, as long as a concubine was pregnant, they would try their best to kill the concubine, or create an accident to make her miscarry. The prince and grandson of the Han Dynasty were finished by the sisters Huo Huo in this way.
While controlling the other concubines, the two tried to curry favor with the emperor. But helplessly, Emperor Hancheng was not in good health, coupled with the constant scourge of the two sisters, the emperor used pills to replenish his body all day. The content of heavy metals in ancient elixirs is extremely high, and the damage to the body is also increasing.
In the end, when Zhao Hede was sleeping, Emperor Hancheng died on the spot because of an overdose. In the minister's verbal criticism, Zhao Hede could not withstand the pressure and eventually committed suicide, while Zhao Feiyan, who was not present, escaped.
Subsequently, Zhao Feiyan assisted Emperor Hancheng's nephew Emperor Hanwei to succeed to the throne and became empress dowager herself. Because of his merits in assisting the new monarch, Zhao Feiyan spent seven years very beautifully.
However, with the death of the Han Emperor seven years later, the ministers began to settle accounts after the fall, adding the crime of harming the descendants of the imperial family to Zhao Feiyan, and Zhao Feiyan, who could not withstand the pressure, also committed suicide like his sister.
Although the Han Dynasty's qi decline sisters have to blame the pot to a certain extent, Emperor Hancheng is obsessed with women, and ignoring the imperial government should also be the most important reason.
