There is a story about an empress who died, but when the coffin was about to be sent into the stone niche, two clouds floated into the stone niche, and after a while one ball disappeared and another floated out, and this queen was Empress Yifu.
Empress Yifu was the empress of Emperor Wen of Western Wei, Yuan Baoju, whose ancestor was the king of Qinghai, the chief of Tuguhun. Empress Yifu's great-grandfather led her people to submit to Northern Wei, and was married by the royal family for three consecutive generations, most of whom also became princesses.
Yi Fu was very beautiful, but rarely spoke and laughed, and married his cousin Yuan Baoju at the age of sixteen.
Later, Yuan Baoju ascended the throne as emperor and established Western Wei, and Yuan Baoju also made Yifu empress. Although Yi Fu was born in a family of magnates, she did not have a little big lady style, she lived a very frugal life, ate ordinary food and wore old clothes, even if she had a lot of treasure jewelry and gorgeous clothes, she rarely wore them. Yi Fu is also very kind to the people around him and gets along well with the people around him. Not only do the people around them have great respect for Yifu, but even Emperor Yuan Baoju has great admiration for Yifu, so the relationship between the husband and wife is very good.
Another thing that also shows that the relationship between Yuan Baoju and Yi Fu is very good, that is, Yuan Baoju and Yi Fu gave birth to 12 children in 15 years, but it is very regrettable that only Yuan Qin and Yuan Peng survived among these 12 children, and most of the other children died at an early age. Yuan Baoju made Yuan Qin crown prince and Yuan Peng the King of Wudu.
However, the situation in Western Wei was not very good, in a state of attack between the two sides, while there was frequent friction with Eastern Wei, and on the other hand, it was harassed by northern nomads, who were the Rouran people led by the first soldier Khan. At this time, Yuwen Tai, the minister of foreign affairs, had an idea to let Western Wei and Rouran marry. After western Wei made a daughter of a sheren a princess, he married the younger brother of Theobing Khan as his wife, and Yuwen Tai suggested that Yuan Baoju depose Yifu as empress and then marry the daughter of the First Bing Khan.
Perhaps it really reached a difficult point, Yuan Baoju actually agreed to Yuwen Tai's suggestion, and Yuan Baoju really deposed YiFu's empress position, let her move out of the empress's bedchamber and cut her hair as a nun. A month later, Yuan Baoju married Yu Jiulu, the daughter of the Head Soldier Khan, into the palace and made empress.
After Yu Jiulu arrived at the palace, she was still jealous of the deposed Yifu, and she often found trouble for Yifu, so Yuan Baoju appointed Yuan peng, the king of Wudu, as the assassin of Taizhou, and let Yifu follow Yuanwu to live in Taizhou. Yuan Baoju originally loved Yifu, and he couldn't help himself when he did this, and when Yifu cut his hair, he secretly hid Yifu's hair.
Although the first soldier Khan married his daughter to Yuan Baoju, he still sent troops to attack Western Wei, some people say that it was caused by Yu Jiulu's jealousy of Yifu. After hearing this, Yuan Baoju said: Is it worth sending troops to attack because of this matter? In desperation, Yuan Baoju still made this ridiculous decision, and he wrote an edict to let YiFu commit suicide. After the guards read the edict to YiFu, Yifu cried and said that he only hoped that the emperor could be well, the world could be peaceful, and he had no regrets.
Subsequently, Yi Fu and Wudu Wang Yuan Peng said goodbye and left a message to Crown Prince Yuan Qin. Yi Fu let his maids out of the house and cut their hair with his own hands. After making arrangements, Yi Fu walked into the house, let people put a lot of quilts on him, and finally passed away.
Yi Fu was only thirty-one years old when he committed suicide, but in the face of political interests, Yuan Baoju still failed to protect the woman he loved.
