Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can always find treasures from his sister Princess Pingyang, and seeing that Wei Zifu is old and decrepit, he met the "little Wei Zifu" Mrs. Li in the Pingyang Hou Mansion. It's just that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty may not know that this "chance encounter" is actually the same as more than 20 years ago, and it was carefully arranged by his sister.
Why is Madame Li, the favorite queen of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, called the smartest woman in history?
Mrs. Lee is known as the smartest woman in history. Mrs. Li's cleverness was that after she gave birth to her son Liu Ji, she became seriously ill due to difficulties. She didn't want Emperor Wu of Han to see her sick, every time Emperor Wu of Han came to see her, she only showed Emperor Wu of Han a back, and resolutely refused to let Emperor Wu of Han see her face. In the end, until she died, she didn't let Emperor Wu of Han see her haggard face.
What is Mrs. Li's name? There is no record in the history books, but it is only recorded that she is the younger sister of the court musician Li Yannian, who was born beautiful and very intelligent since she was a child. According to the "Biography of Mrs. Li of Xiaowu in the Hanshu Book", it is recorded: "Yannian is waiting to dance, and the song says: 'There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent; Gu Tilting the city, and then caring about the country; rather than knowing the city and the country, the beauty is hard to get!" Li Yannian in order to win Liu Che's favor, through the praise of "Beauty's Song", recommended his own sister to Liu Che, and the idiom "Alluring the country and the city" came from this. Liu Che summoned Mrs. Li, was overjoyed, and immediately made her a lady, and promoted Li Yannian to the rank of lieutenant of the co-ordinator. After Mrs. Li entered the palace, she was favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and became famous for a while, covering three thousand beauties. Soon after, Mrs. Li gave birth to a son named Liu Che, who was later named the king of Changyi.
Although Mrs. Li is as beautiful as a fairy, she has a thin life, and she can't afford the life of a rich concubine, as well as Liu Che's endless favor, and soon after giving birth, she sank on the couch with a withered body and a haggard face. However, Mrs. Li is a very sensible beauty, she knows very well that Liu Che is greedy for her beauty, so during her serious illness, Liu Che visited many times, Mrs. Li was covered with her head, and she did not show Liu Che her sick appearance, if he saw herself like this, then she would only disgust and spurn herself. She once said, "I want him to remember me when I was at my most beautiful, so that even after I die, he will occasionally think of me in the future, and thus be kind to my family." On the other hand, Liu Che, because he has no shortage of beauties in the harem, he has no intention of paying attention to Mrs. Li's serious illness.
Liu Che has a major characteristic, he is not like other emperors, who can be rewarded by one person to attain the Tao, and the chicken dog ascends to heaven. Although Li Yannian recommended his sister to the emperor, he later offended the court criminal law and was sentenced to palace punishment and abandoned in prison. Mrs. Li's other brother Li Guangli was ordered to fight against the Xiongnu, but was defeated by the Xiongnu, Liu Che did not allow his army to return to the court, and then Wei Qing interceded before he was forgiven.
Soon after, Mrs. Li died of illness, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty successively appointed Li Yannian as the commander of Xielu, and Li Guangli as the general of the Second Division and the Marquis of Haixi, which was regarded as making up for Mrs. Li. However, the emperor can turn over his hands or cover his hands, Li Yannian and Li Guangli's official positions did not enjoy long, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Li family on the charge of Mrs. Li's younger brother Li Ji messing with the harem, Li Yannian was ordered to accompany the burial of Maoling (the tomb of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty) At this time, Li Guangli was fighting on the front line, and heard the news of being exterminated, that is, defeated and surrendered to the Xiongnu. Lee has been a successor since. Mrs. Li never let Liu Che see her sick face during her serious illness, so Mrs. Li in Liu Che's mind was still the beautiful woman.
After Mrs. Li's death, he missed it day and night, and did not eat tea and dinner, so he summoned Fang Shi to pretend to be a ghost and let Mrs. Li return to her soul in order to relieve the pain of her thoughts. In the midst of the incense and candles, Mrs. Li floated in. Liu Che wrote a poem and said: "Is it evil, not evil? It wasn't until after Liu Che's death that most of the famous concubines in his lifetime were killed by him, and as an emperor, he couldn't just bury the emperor's mausoleum, right? At this time, Huo Guang, who was the general of Tuogu, meditated hard, and out of respect for the intelligent Mrs. Li, he posthumously named Mrs. Li the "Empress of Xiaowu" for Emperor Wu.
Madame Li relied on her own wisdom to be buried with Emperor Wu of Han after his death, which should be satisfactory for the emperor's woman.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had countless women in his life, but only Mrs. Li always existed in his heart. Although Mrs. Li died young, she relied on her own ingenuity to save everything behind her, although the Li family was later killed, it was also the clansmen who killed themselves, if they can have Mrs. Li's intelligence, they must enjoy glory and wealth for generations.
