The empress, with a noble status, is the mother of the world in feudal society! However, if she is not born at the right time and encounters the king of the subjugated country, then the queen's situation may not be as good as that of ordinary people! Today, Xiaobian will introduce you to the three queens in history who died of humiliation after the fall of the country!

Xiao Zhou Hou was the second empress of Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and was the sister of The Great Zhou Hou, who was born of the national color Tianxiang, fell into the city of the country, and became empress after the death of Emperor Zhou'e after the death of The Great Zhou, and the favor of the later lord Li Yu far exceeded that of the Great Zhou Hou! In 975, The Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin sent troops to destroy the Southern Tang, and Xiao Zhou and Hou Lords both became prisoners and moved to Kaifeng to live. At first, Zhao Kuangyin was not bad to Li Yu, did not let Li Yu hold a captive ceremony, and also made Li Yu a disobedient marquis, giving him the treatment of a prince, and treating Xiao Zhou hou with courtesy to Li Jia and making him Lady Zheng Guo. It should be said that after the lord Li Yu and Xiao Zhouhou just started to live well in Kaifeng, because there was still time to write poems to express their emotions, saying that there was no such poem as "Xiao Lou had the east wind last night, the homeland could not look back at the moon and the middle of the moon" "The carved fence jade should still be there, but Zhu Yan changed" and other poems! However, Song Taizu died a year later, and his younger brother Zhao Guangyi became emperor, that is, Song Taizong. Song Taizong and his brother's temper is very different, and the treatment of Li Yu and Xiao Zhouhou is also very different, especially for xiao Zhouhou's beauty, he left Xiao Zhouhou in the palace for the night, Li Yuming knew what was going on, and he also dared to be angry! At the same time, in order to save the life of her husband Li Yu, Xiao Zhouhou could only bear the weight of anger! The most perverted thing is that Song Taizong not only forcibly visited Xiao Zhou Hou, but also wanted the court painter to paint the scene as a memorial, that is, the famous painting "Xiling Xing Xiao Zhou Hou Tu". Later, Li Yu always wrote words to recall his career as emperor, and Emperor Taizong of Song, fearing that Li Yu was plotting rebellion, poisoned Li Yu to death. After Li Yu's death, Xiao Zhouhou was also overly sad and died!
2. Empress Zhu of Song Qinzong

Empress Zhu was the empress of Song Qinzong, and she sat directly from the crown princess to the empress, which shows the honor of her status! After the Northern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty jointly destroyed the Liao, in 1125 AD, the Jin State then sent troops to attack the Northern Song Dynasty, and Emperor Huizong of Song did not want to be the emperor of the fallen country, and in a panic passed the throne to his son Song Qinzong, and the crown princess Zhu Shi also naturally became an empress! At first, under the leadership of Li Gang and others, the victory in the defense of Tokyo was won, but as soon as the Jin soldiers retreated, Song Qinzong would depose Li Gang, resulting in the second attack of the Jin soldiers, unable to resist, Tokyo fell, song Qinzong and his father Song Huizong made prisoners, known as the shame of Jingkang! After being captured, the Jin state moved Song Qinzong, Song Huizong, and more than 3,000 people from the harem to the Northeast Five Kingdoms City, including Zhu Shi, who had only been empress for two years. According to records, on the way to the City of the Five Kingdoms, the harem of the Song Dynasty, from the empress dowager to the concubine palace, was insulted by the Jin soldiers in every way, and even Empress Zhu was forced to perform dances to the soldiers! After arriving at the Five Kingdoms City, the Jin Kingdom will hold a captive sacrifice ceremony, the so-called sheep-drawing ceremony, so that Song Qinzong, Song Huizong, Empress Zhu, etc. are naked, draped in sheepskin, and tied with ropes around their necks, so that people can lead them through the Taimiao Temple of the Golden Kingdom, which is extremely humiliating! After the end of the captivity, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty again summoned Empress Zhu to the Jinguo Palace, saying that he wanted to "give a bath". Empress Zhu was humiliated and committed suicide by diving!

In 383, Jian Jian was defeated at the Battle of Shuishui, and the Former Qin he founded collapsed in an instant, and the north fell back into chaos and division. Two years later, Jian Jian was killed by the original general, Yao Cang, the founder of Later Qin! After Jian Jian's death, his son Gong Pi succeeded to the throne, and was killed by the Yang Wei general Feng Cai of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in just one year, because he had no son, and his nephew Gong Pi succeeded to the throne, and was also the last emperor of Former Qin! He made the daughter of his old boss Mao Xing empress, Empress Mao. Zizhi Tongjian records that Empress Mao was not only very beautiful in length, but also brave and good at fighting, good at riding and shooting, and was a rare empress who was both literate and martial! In 389 AD, Gong Deng led an army to defeat Yao Chang's general Wu Zhong, occupy Pingliang, and then push for Stability! While sending people to hold on to stability, Yao Cang personally led an army to attack the great realm where the weight was stored in the rear of The Dragon, Empress Mao, who was in the army! When Yao Cang invaded the Great Realm, Mao still crossed his horse and bent his bow, led hundreds of his own soldiers to resist with all their might, killed more than 700 yao cang, and finally outnumbered and captured! When Yao Cang saw the beautiful Mao Clan, she wanted to take it as a concubine, but Mao Clan would rather die than follow, crying and scolding: "Yao Cang, you originally killed Tianzi Cangjian, and today you want to insult the empress, you will be intolerable to heaven and earth!" Yao Cang was furious and immediately had him beheaded!
