Throughout Chinese history, Ming Jun, Sages, Famous Generals, Talents, etc. have emerged in an endless stream, and today, what Xiaobian wants to bring to everyone is not this kind of person, but an outstanding woman from a humble origin, but who has left a strong mark in Chinese history, she is Wei Zifu.
Wei Zifu, also known as Empress Xiaowuwei, was posthumously honored as Sihou by Emperor Xuan of Han, and she was the first empress in Chinese history to have an independent title, sitting in the position of empress for thirty-eight years, and her name was rare among nearly a thousand empresses in the entire feudal history of China for more than two thousand years.

Not only that, Wei Zifu went from a humble singer to the position of empress, which directly affected the direction of the Han Dynasty.
His brother Wei Qing attacked the land of Longcheng, Heshuo and Hetao, expeditioned to the north of the desert, and broke the Xiongnu, making an immortal contribution.

His nephew Huo Went Ill, the originator of the Blitzkrieg, feng wolf Juxu, on military achievements, throughout Chinese history, no one can stand out, and he was awarded the champion Hou at the age of a weak crown, And He bing has been awarded the title of Champion Hou for thousands of years!

Wei Qing and Huo Fuyi were revered by posterity as imperial double bi! The foreign relatives of the Wei clan with them as the core swept through the northern border of the Han Dynasty, and the five people of the Wei clan were crowned marquises because of their branches, how glorious!
"Song of the Empress Wei" said: There is no joy in giving birth to a man, no anger in giving birth to a woman, and there is no wei zifu who dominates the world! Its price can be imagined.
However, it is such a sage who has no right in terms of status in Chinese history, but finally chose to end his brilliant life by suicide, what unknown reasons are hidden behind this?
To uncover the reasons, we also need to understand a tragic incident that occurred during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the scourge of witchcraft.
The so-called scourge of witchcraft was that in the second year of Zhenghe, Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of Gongsun He, was accused of sending a witch to curse Emperor Wu, resulting in the death of Gongsun He's father and son, and Princess Zhuyi, Princess Yangshi, and Wei Qing's son Marquis Wei of Changping all sat on the throne, and were used by Emperor Wu's favorite minister Jiang Chong to frame the crown prince, causing the crown prince Liu to raise troops to kill Jiang Chong, and finally be suppressed by Emperor Wu, implicating hundreds of thousands of people.
It was during the Wu Qiao Rebellion that the crown prince Liu Zhao was framed by Jiang Chong and others, and had no choice but to raise troops to kill the traitor, Wei Zifu, in order to help the crown prince Liu Zhao, agreed to Liu Zhao's call on the empress's stable frame, took the arsenal weapons, transferred the Guards of Changle Palace, and recruited troops in the name of rebellion of the traitors, and finally Jiang Chong was killed, but because someone obstructed it, Emperor Wu mistakenly thought that The Crown Prince Liu Was plotting a rebellion and suppressed it, and Wei Zifu, because he could not explain his own behavior in this matter, chose to die mingzhi and committed suicide, how lamentable!
According to historical records, in the thirty-eight years when Wei Zifu was made empress, there were no more jealous women and women in the Han Palace, and there were no bad incidents caused by jealousy between concubines.
Wei Zifu was the only one of the more than ten concubines of the Four Dynasties recorded in the "History of the Foreign Relatives Family" to win Sima Qian's praise.
Sima Qian wrote in the "Self-Narration of History" that "Jiafu Deros"! The high evaluation of it is evident!
However, it was such a virtuous and beautiful empress, but in the end, because of the scourge of witchcraft, had to choose to commit suicide to die Mingzhi, so that posterity had to sigh at the same time, but also had to issue the sigh of "the most ruthless imperial family"!
