In the rule of ancient feudal society, the emperor was standing at the top of the power, one person under ten thousand people.
As the wife of the emperor, the queen's identity and status are also unique, but there are many queens whose fate cannot be controlled by themselves.
There are countless famous queens in history, they are brilliant and courageous, but in the end, it is their turn to be deposed.
Who are these deposed queens, and for what reasons were they deposed?
Gillian Chen
The allusion of "Jinwu Zangjiao" must be familiar to the audience and netizens, and the "Jiao" in the story refers to Chen Ajiao.
Chen Ajiao is the empress of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the daughter of Princess Guantao, and her status is extraordinary.
But although Chen Ajiao enjoyed the glory and wealth that ordinary people could not have, the final fate was embarrassing.
Chen Ajiao is a few years older than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, although Emperor Jing loves Chen Ajiao very much, but thinking of the age of Chen Ajiao and Liu Che, he can't help but hesitate.
But after hearing Liu Che's "If you have Gillian as a wife, you will be stored as a golden house", he finally nodded and agreed to the marriage.
Liu Che and Chen Ajiao's "Golden House Zangjiao" is called a good story by many descendants, but looking at the complex relationship in it, many scholars believe that the reason why Liu Che is so good to Chen Ajiao is to get the domination of power, after all, if he gets the support of Princess Guantao, the emperor's position will be one step closer.
It's just that although many descendants speculate about Liu Che and Chen Ajiao, after Liu Che ascended the throne, he was really good to himself as the queen at first, even to the point of being a favorite.
But Chen Ajiao has no heirs for many years, and her pampered temperament is not willing to let other women appear in the harem at all, and even poisoned Wei Zifu many times after she appeared, and finally derived the "witch Gu incident".
Chen Ajiao used witchcraft to make Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty unbearable, and directly ordered him to be deposed and retreated to Changmen Palace.
The deposed Chen Ajiao was very unwilling, and even the whole person was sad and indignant, and she was only thirty-eight years old when she died.
After seeing Chen Ajiao's life experience, many viewers and netizens sighed that if it weren't for her jealousy, Liu Che would not have deposed her at all, but some people thought that Liu Che had completely controlled the power and didn't need Chen Ajiao's help, so they would depose her.
卫子夫
In addition to Chen Ajiao, the empress Wei Zifu of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also embarked on the fate of being deposed.
Wei Zifu is different from Chen Ajiao's identity, originally she was just a singer in Princess Pingyang's mansion, and she was valued by Liu Che because of chance.
At that time, Chen Ajiao had been bored by Liu Che because she had no heirs for many years, so Wei Zifu's appearance quickly attracted ideas.
Wei Zifu didn't give any name when he was taken by Liu Che, but just received it in the palace.
But Chen Ajiao's jealousy can't tolerate Wei Zifu's existence at all, and even Wei Zifu's younger brother Wei Qing has become a thorn in Queen Chen Ajiao's eyes.
In this case, Chen Ajiao shot at Wei Zifu many times, wanting to harm Wei Zifu's sister and brother.
But Wei Zifu made friends with Princess Pingyang, and when Wei Zifu was favored, he said: "Okay! ”
So when Princess Pingyang learned that Wei Zifu was being bullied, she directly found Liu Che, and Liu Che also named Wei Zifu as his wife, and Chen Ajiao's final fate slowly moved towards deposition.
When Wei Zifu became the queen, the power of the Qiu family was also the most prosperous, and his younger brother Wei Qing was the concubine of Princess Pingyang, and Huo Quzhi made achievements that no one had ever made before, and until now he has been regarded as a "young hero".
But God did not fulfill people's wishes, Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing left Wei Zifu one after another, and even their own children were suspicious of their fathers.
Faced with such an ending, Wei Zifu was unwilling to compromise, and after Liu Ju was forced to commit suicide, the mother seemed to have lost everything.
In the end, Liu Che ordered the deposition of Wei Zifu, and the honor of the Wei family also came to the end.
Whether it is Chen Ajiao or Wei Zifu, the fate of the two queens is to be deposed, and their lives are in the hands of Liu Che, whether it is wealth, honor or status, they are all given by their husbands.
Liu Che was first an emperor, he enjoyed supreme power, and then he was a husband, so the deposition of Chen Ajiao and Wei Zifu affected Liu Che's control of power, and finally fell to the end of being abandoned.
Guo Shengtong
Guo Shengtong is the empress of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and the life of this empress can be said to be rich many times, even if she is deposed, her life is still nourishing, and even the family is reused.
Guo Shengtong was when Liu Xiu had not yet become emperor, and at that time, Liu Xiu needed the help of foreign forces for his great cause, so he was connected with Guo Shengtong's family in the form of marriage.
But at that time, Liu Xiu already had Yin Lihua as his wife, so when he was called emperor, who was named queen became a choice.
Although Guo Shengtong's family is powerful and is the help of Liu Xiu on the road to his great cause, in his heart he is more inclined to Yin Lihua.
Liu Xiu, who vacillated between the two women, could only make a choice helplessly, and finally chose Guo Shengtong for various reasons.
But although Guo Shengtong won his identity and status, he did not get Liu Xiu's heart.
With the increase of time, Liu Xiu became more and more impatient with Guo Shengtong, especially since the power in his hands was stable enough, and he did not need the help of Guo Shengtong's mother's family.
In this case, Liu Xiu was naturally unwilling to tolerate Guo Shengtong, and directly ordered the deposition of Guo Shengtong.
It is estimated that many viewers and netizens feel that Liu Xiu's approach is too ruthless, rewarding him when he needs it, and kicking it away when he doesn't need it.
But compared with other deposed queens, Guo Shengtong's final result is already good.
In 41 AD, although Guo Shengtong was deposed and demoted to the queen mother of Zhongshan, the power of his mother's family was not suppressed.
And Liu Xiu's approach naturally offset the complaints of the outside world, and did not end up "ungrateful".
Even when Guo Shengtong's mother died, Liu Xiu personally buried him, except for the position of queen, it can be said that there is something to want.
brief summary
Ruthless is the most emperor's family, and since ancient times, many rulers have been unwilling to threaten their position by anyone for the sake of power in their hands.
Even the queen is no longer a hand in hand wife, but more like a tool for political marriage.
