Zhao Feiyan: A legendary figure known for her beauty

Zhao Feiyan, formerly known as Zhao Dafu, was the empress of emperor Cheng of the Western Han Dynasty.

Zhao Feiyan is a legendary figure in Chinese history known for his beauty, the so-called fat and thin, it is about him and Yang Yuhuan, and Yan Thin is often used as a metaphor for light and thin beauties.

During the lifetime of Emperor Hancheng, Zhao Feiyan and his sister Zhao Hede were mercurial, often colluding with the harem concubines, and after Cheng Yu's death, they were forced to go first.

Later, he committed suicide by taking poison, and his people were also implicated and sent to the western Liaoning region.

So why is there such an outcome?

The reason for the whole thing has to start from the birth of Zhao Feiyan.

According to legend, Zhao Feiyan's mother was the daughter of the King of Jiangdu, who belonged to a declining clan and married Zhao Slow as a second lieutenant.

Because the etiquette of the Two Han Dynasties was not strict, Zhao Feiyan's mother and Feng Wanjin, a roommate of the Jiangdu Palace, had a private affair and gave birth to a pair of twin sisters.

Zhao Man learned that he was wearing a green hat, and he was furious and threw the newborn little sisters into the wilderness, perhaps because the desire to survive was too strong, and three days later, they were still very tenacious.

After hearing this news, Zhao Man was very surprised.

The eldest daughter was named Zhao Auntie Sheng, the second daughter was named Zhao Hede, and when they became adults, they were sent to the Yang'a Princess Mansion as maids and began to learn song and dance.

Extremely talented, especially Dr. Zhao, is famous for his slender beauty and wind, so people call him Zhao Feiyan.

Later, he forgot his name and only called him Feiyan.

Once, Emperor Liu Ao of Hancheng made a private visit, went to The house of Princess Yang'a, saw Zhao Feiyan's skills and appearance, and recruited her into the palace and made her a noble concubine.

Zhao Feiyan was favored and let Emperor Hancheng,

Let her sister Zhao Hede enter the palace.

In 18 AD, Emperor Cheng of Han deposed the original Empress Xu, and two years later made Zhao Feiyan empress.

Since then, the Zhao sisters have monopolized the harem and have power for a while.

Although she was crowned queen and assisted by her sister in the palace, the two sisters did not give birth to a man and a half daughter for Cheng Yu.

To this end, the emperor was often worried and began to secretly recruit other palace concubines, which made the Zhao sisters feel that their status was seriously threatened, in order to avoid falling out of favor, they began to carry out abominable destruction of the concubines, not only killing pregnant women, but even newborn babies, so that the folk rumors of Yan fei coming to peck at yellow acid were popular.

For the crazy behavior of the Zhao sisters, Cheng Yu could only acquiesce helplessly.

In order to catch Cheng Yu's heart, the two sisters began to take turns waiting, so that the original physique and appearance of him gradually became thin, and he had to rely on not being able to satisfy this fornication life.

Because of taking medicine for a long time, and constantly adding medicine, finally one day, Cheng Yu fell down after indulging in lust, and fell down, and has remained in gentle township ever since.

After Cheng Yu's death, the Zhao sisters, who had been flying all the time, immediately became the target of attacks by courtiers, and the foreign relative Wang Mang was the first to attack and torture Zhao Hede, in order to avoid implicating his daughter and daughter, Zhao had to choose to take poison and commit suicide.

Since Cheng Yi had no sons, after consultation among the courtiers, he was succeeded by Liu Xin, the King of Dingtao, and was known as the Emperor of Han.

Sincere thanks to Zhao Feiyan, who did his best to help Zhao Feiyan and still revered him as the empress dowager, but died after only six years on the throne.

Then the message was randomly enthroned, and the history was called the Hanping Emperor.

At this time, Zhao Feiyan completely lost her dependence, was demoted to empress, and moved to the North Palace.

Soon after, he was deposed as a Shuren, and Sima Wang Mang killed the crown prince and committed suicide by taking poison seven times.

At this time, the demon concubine Zhao Feiyan, who was tilted toward the opposition, was finally punished.
