If you want to mention the demon queen known to everyone in the Western Han Dynasty, it is Zhao Feiyan.
Together with her sister, she seduced the emperor and fornicated with the harem, and was lifelong infertile because of the long-term use of special spices, but in order to give herself and her sister a permanent control of the harem, they poisoned many concubines and even attacked babies who were born.
Therefore, there are many innocent beings that have been destroyed in history!
And their crimes are really hard to read!
However, when I look at the crimes committed by Zhao Feiyan, what is actually hidden is a "heartless" - she does not love the emperor, let alone the big man, she only loves herself.
A heartless heart that made her commit evil deeds and made her eventually fall into the abyss.
And the woman's indifference, sometimes, can really destroy the world!
01.
Zhao Feiyan was born into a slave family, because her parents could not bear the burden of adopting a daughter, so she was abandoned by her biological parents shortly after birth.
However, after all, it is flesh and blood affection, after three days, holding the grief of the child's death, the biological parents found it back, but found that their daughter did not die at all, still alive and well, such a strong vitality, so that they are finally reluctant to discard their flesh and bones, but also feel that their daughter is the blessing of destiny, the future will be rich and noble!
Therefore, since she was a child, Zhao Feiyan was loved and loved by her parents, but they were poor after all, so when Zhao Feiyan was of the right age, she was sent to Princess Yang'a's house to be a maid.
Coming to the Yang'a Princess Mansion, Zhao Feiyan was sent by the princess to do kabuki because of her beautiful appearance and charming figure, and since then, Zhao Feiyan's life has laid a completely rewritten foreshadowing.
Zhao Feiyan has amazing abilities, and according to legend, she can do palm dancing, can dance on the lotus leaf, light and flowing, and dance in a moving posture.
Therefore, when Emperor Cheng first saw Zhao Feiyan dancing, he was deeply attracted by her, and he immediately took Zhao Feiyan back to the Han Palace, where he played the sound of jing all year round.
However, at that time, Zhao Feiyan still felt that she was alone, without assistants and support, so she introduced her sister, who was better than her own, to the emperor who was greedy for beauty, and sure enough, Emperor Cheng gladly agreed.
Since then, the two sisters have occupied the emperor, which has made him unable to contact other concubines, otherwise he will lose his temper.
In order to sit on the throne of the empress, Zhao Feiyan even joined forces with her sister to design Empress Xu, and eventually Empress Xu was deposed and lived in the cold palace until death. And when they learned that they could not have children, in order to keep themselves from falling out of favor and from other concubines threatening their future status, she and her sister joined forces to poison the emperor's concubines, heirs, and even all those who hindered them.
As a result, a famous tragedy in history was created!
There are countless unjust souls who have died, and the crimes of Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede are also innumerable, and they are even more difficult to read!
Under the temptation of Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede, Emperor Cheng drank and promiscuously all day, did not manage the country at all, and eventually made the people complain and let the national fortunes be repeatedly depressed.
What is even more absurd is the death of Emperor Cheng--he died in Zhao Hede's bed, which can really be described as the first absurd emperor in ancient and modern times!
And in the end, the cycle of cause and effect - Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede died by suicide.
These two people have more than enough to die!
02.
When I read Zhao Feiyan's absurd story, without thinking about it, her shrewdness and stupidity:
Her shrewdness lies in the fact that she knows how to buy a man's heart, so she can get glory and favor for a long time, so she dares to murder the imperial heir and use unsightly means to get rid of dissidents, which is her cunning.
However, she was also stupid, she and Zhao Hede, fornicated with the harem, so they were despised by Emperor Cheng's courtiers, and they had no other way to keep their positions except to rely on Emperor Cheng.
But she and her sister were too shallow,away from knowing that they were accompanied by a dying emperor, and even if they could get the position of empress in the future, would they really be able to prosper forever?
Empress Wang did not like her, Wang Mang even recognized her as a poison, she carried too much guilt, killed too many beings, so, not surprisingly, the last spit can drown her, she at this time in addition to the emperor's protection, there is no way out, unfortunately the emperor because of excessive indulgence, also died...
She and Zhao Hede are shallow-minded, so they prefer to abandon long-term plans in order to seek immediate interests:
She did not report to other concubines, nor did she give other concubines the opportunity to please, they were even more disregarding the lives of the people of the Western Han Dynasty, nor did they care about the future development of the Western Han Dynasty, they only wanted the immediate pleasure and interests, and used various means to seek the emperor's favor, so that the people complained and the ministers opposed one after another.
Such a plot is precisely the result of not being smart enough and being stupid first!
And her final fate is also to commit suicide in shame and anger, and people and money are empty!
03.
However, I thought about it carefully, why would Zhao Feiyan, such a smart woman, do such a thing that is unfavorable to the future and disregard it?
First, it lies in her small pattern:
She did not know that to be an empress was not only to become the most honorable woman in a country, to become the woman with the most wealth and status in a dynasty, but also to undertake and shape the image of a country, and to have a subtle impact on the future direction of the country.
It's a big job!
For example, in "The Biography of Mi Yue", Qin Wangsi married Mi Shu, thinking that he could get a stable and harmonious harem, but no, Mi Shu's small family could not support the heavy responsibility of the mother of a country, and such a mother could not teach the wise and wise descendants, so it was obvious that Qin Wangsi did not achieve the vision in his heart, but was instead attacked by the women in the harem, causing headaches.
Therefore, it can be seen from this that the empress is not something that anyone can be, and that she does well, just like Yi Jiang, leaves the history of Qing in the human world, and does a poor job, just like Zhao Feiyan, leaving a stink for ten thousand years!
Second, Zhao Feiyan's "no heart":
Zhao Feiyan had no heart for Emperor Cheng, and the "heart" here was love, enthusiasm, and empathy.
She does not love Emperor Cheng, so she has no love and enthusiasm for Emperor Cheng, and her embrace is more about the interest transaction achieved by "one report and one reward" - using flesh and beauty in exchange for countless glory, wealth and noble status.
And her indifference is also manifested in her cruelty to Emperor Cheng's heirs, as the old Emperor Cheng, what she wants most is to have a heir that can be inherited, but Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede do not think so, they kill Emperor Cheng's heirs, and even forbid him to visit pregnant concubines, and for concubines who are already pregnant, they can also eradicate them.
The practice is extremely cruel and hateful!
If she had the slightest sympathetic conscience toward Emperor Cheng, she would never have let him die of old age without even a heir from generation to generation, and if she wanted to gain status, she could have raised a child herself, but she did not do so.
Therefore, it is enough to see Zhao Feiyan's ruthlessness.
Zhao Feiyan had no heart, because she had no heart for Emperor Cheng, only use and calculation.
And this Cheng Emperor who fell into the gentle township was also dizzy, and his final result could only be regarded as a farce, and like Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede, people could not afford to rejoice, and even pity was superfluous, because this was his own sin and mistake.
And in this farce, in the end, it is the people who suffer, or the national fortunes of the Great Han, and the foundation laid by the ancestors has been lost on the word "desire", which is really sad!
And in that turbulent era, how many innocent lives were destroyed and persecuted, and for those who started it, I am only willing to give a reprimand!
