In the harems of successive dynasties, concubines and concubines have played a battle between concubines for favors and power, and they have finally become the losers of the palace struggle, dead and soulless, or become the rulers of the government and the government, the mother of the world.
In the "History of foreign relatives", Emperor Wu of Han's mother, Empress Wang, became a model of the harem, and she jumped from a remarried daughter to an empress of the mother's world, and then became a powerful empress, such a gorgeous turn is not only caused by unpredictable luck, but also a proof of her own strength.
In the "Family of Foreign Relatives", Sima Qian's account of Wang Meiren is extremely legendary.
Before entering the palace, Wang Meiren once married and had children. But her mother, Zang Er, insisted that her daughter divorce after a divination. Because the result of the divination said that her two daughters should be rich and noble, she forcibly took her daughter back from her in-laws' Kim clan and sent them to the womb.
It's a political investment. In a sense, it was the "jandder" of her mother Zang Er who achieved Wang Yuan's "luck" in the future. Entering the palace to serve, Wang Meiren was fortunate to be favored by the prince and gave birth to three daughters and a man. This prince was the future Emperor Jing of Han.
Dreaming of the day, Wang Meiren thought of himself as his son. Wang Meiren is very smart, she knows that there is no shortage of beautiful women around the prince, nor is there a shortage of heirs, but she knows how to fight for opportunities for her children. Before Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty was born, his mother chose an appropriate time and told Emperor Jing, who was still only a prince at the time, saying: "Concubines dreamed of the sun thrown into my arms. "
This step taken by Wang Meiren can be described as painstaking and well-designed. In the Han Dynasty, when science was still underdeveloped and people especially worshipped superstitious ideas, Wang Meiren's unusual practice of "dreaming into his arms" positioned his children in a unique and unparalleled noble position in the most effective way. At the same time, it also succeeded in making The Han Jing Emperor look at this child who had not yet been born, thinking that her "dream into the heart" was a sign of nobility, and it was likely that the Han Jing Emperor pondered in his heart: "Will this child have an adventure in the future?" "
Emperor Wen of Han died, and Emperor Jing of Han took the throne. After that, Emperor Wu of Han was born.
When Emperor Jing of Han was still crown prince, Empress Bo chose a woman of the Bo clan as his concubine. When Emperor Jing ascended the throne, this concubine of the Bo clan was made Empress Bo. However, Empress Bo never gave birth to a prince, and she was not favored by Emperor Jing of Han. Therefore, as soon as Empress Bo died, Empress Bo was deposed.
At this time, Emperor Jing of Han was equivalent to having no concubines, and all his sons were concubines. Therefore, when the ministers suggested that the emperor be made crown prince, Emperor Jing of Han arranged the age and created liu Rong, the eldest son of Shu. However, emperor Jing of Han did not make an empress.
In fact, The Empress and the Crown Prince are two different things, and they can also be seen as one thing. Because sooner or later the prince's mother will become the empress, or the queen's son will become the prince sooner or later. Therefore, Li Ji, the mother of Liu Rong, who was made crown prince, only needed to be patient and wait, and sooner or later she would take the throne of the empress and empress dowager in her hands. Unfortunately, Kurihime does not have this IQ, and her approach is simply jaw-dropping.
Emperor Jingdi of Han had an older sister, the eldest princess Liu Yan. Empress Dowager Dou regarded it as a pearl in her hand and loved it very much. The eldest princess, Liu Yan, entered the palace and was as free and casual as entering her own back garden. Moreover, she often sent beauty to the Han Jing Emperor, so her brother Han JingDi was deeply pleased, and the relationship between the two was particularly harmonious.
The eldest princess Liu Yan had a daughter, and she wanted to marry her daughter to the crown prince Liu Rong. This move is self-evident, once the crown prince Liu Rong ascends the throne, her daughter will be the lord of the six palaces, and the future mother will be the world, and the wealth will be unspeakable.
However, Li Ji was jealous by nature, and hated the eldest princess Liu Yan for constantly sending beauty to emperor Of Hanjing, so that she lost the favor of emperor Jingdi of Han, so in the face of the courtship of the eldest princess Liu Concubine, Li Ji not only did not appreciate it, but did not hesitate to refuse. She completely did not realize that the marriage between the crown prince Liu Rong and the eldest princess's daughter was a win-win situation, and the power of the eldest princess could increase the prince's weight; she did not expect that the refusal to marry would provoke the eldest princess and bring her and the prince what kind of trouble.
Princess Qiaopan, attacking Li Ji together. Ambitious and hidden, Wang Meiren realized with a keen sense of political smell that the influence of the eldest princess Liu Yan on the Han Jing Emperor could not be underestimated. Therefore, when the eldest princess came to propose to her, she very happily agreed to come down and firmly grasped this opportunity to be delivered to the door. She is well aware that this "political marriage" with the eldest princess is bound to be a "win-win" court struggle, and when satisfying the greed of the eldest princess, she can also achieve her political goal of "the son as the reserve and the mother as the queen" by the power of the eldest princess.
Sure enough, the eldest princess Liu Yan was ashamed and angry because of Li Ji's refusal, and often said bad things about Li Ji in front of Emperor Jing, "Li Ji and all the noble ladies and pet Ji gathered, often let the attendants spit on their backs and curse, and cast evil and deceitful Taoist techniques. Over time, as the number of times went on, Emperor Jingdi of Han slowly believed it, and thus became alienated from Li Ji.
At the same time, the eldest princess wasted no time in praising Lady Wang's son in front of Emperor Jing for his virtuous virtue and filial piety, and after listening to such good words for a long time, Emperor Jing also thought that Emperor Wu of Han was very virtuous, coupled with the previous parable of "dreaming into the heart", Emperor Jing had the idea of changing the prince.
However, the change of crown prince had not yet been carried out, and Emperor Jing of Han fell ill. Presumably, his illness was very serious, and Emperor Jingdi of Han felt that he might not be able to get better, so he summoned Li Ji and said to her, "Li Ji, Li Ji may not be able to do it." Later, after the crown prince ascended the throne, you were born to take care of the other heirs and those harem concubines. "
These words of Emperor Jing of Han are obviously the dying orphans, and in the future, the crown prince Liu Rong will ascend the throne as emperor, and Li Ji will be the empress, and the bright future will be within reach. But if Li Ji had a little brain, she should have agreed to it, but she didn't, not only did she refuse to agree, but she was not inferior to Emperor Jing.
Emperor Jingdi of Han was very annoyed in his heart, but he was also a deep city government and did not reprimand Li Ji in person. Moreover, Emperor Jingdi's condition actually slowly improved again. However, Li Ji still did not realize that she had long lost her position in the Han Jing Emperor and had entered the "blacklist".
Want to indulge, deceive the big line. When Wang Meiren learned the news that the Han Jing Emperor had not succeeded in "dying and entrusting orphans", he was keenly aware that the time had come, and on the basis of the advantages of previous remarks, he was now close to the final victory of this war.
Therefore, this brilliant Wang Meiren worked intensively and carried out the most crucial step. She took advantage of Daxing's single-minded desire to make the Li family soar, and seduced Daxing into saying that Emperor Jing of Han had established Li Ji as empress, in order to give Emperor Jing the illusion that Li Ji was coveting the throne.
Finally, during a one-day court meeting, Daxing said to Emperor Jingdi of Han: "'The son is precious to the mother, and the mother is precious to the son,' and now the crown prince's mother has not yet been given the title, and should be made empress." Emperor Jing was furious on the spot and said, "Is this what you should say?" He immediately murdered Daxing and deposed the crown prince Liu Rong as the King of Linjiang. Li Ji was enraged, and Emperor Jing of Han never saw her again, and Li Ji died of resentment and melancholy.
In the end, Wang Meiren, with the help and encouragement of the eldest princess Liu Yan, was finally made empress, and her son Liu Che was made crown prince. At this point, Wang Meiren not only eliminated powerful political enemies, but also achieved his political goals after his sealing.
Later, after the death of Emperor Jing, Liu Che, who was made crown prince, succeeded to the throne and became a great emperor in history, Emperor Wu of Han, while Empress Wang naturally became the most honorable woman in the world, Empress Wang.
In the "History of the Family of Foreign Relatives", Sima Qian's description of Empress Wang is frugal and inexpressive, but under the depiction of The Historian's tone of Taishi Gong, who seems to be unfazed and in fact is surging with undercurrents, Wang Meiren, as the empress dowager of the emperor, is shown with the meticulousness of her intentions, the profundity of the city government, and the cleverness of her political skills.
All in all, Wang Meiren used his superb political means to stand out in the complex power struggle through step-by-step scheming and painstaking competition, and from a small people who had nothing to become the lord of the rich and monstrous harem, and finally became a model and model for the victors.
