"Hundred Schools of Learning History Books" and Reviewing Han Wu - Empress Chen Ajiao of Empress Xiaowu

[I saw a comment on "The Great Sage" in "The Good Man of the Tang Dynasty", which is a model for us, which has completely broadened my horizons about the book "Where". Imagine that if Gillian's fate was rewritten and the fate of the Han Dynasty had changed. After historical changes, how would modern people evaluate this legendary queen? Now, leave a footprint to mix the scores. Everyone is welcome to send small red flowers or fresh fruits - wait, let me put on the pot first. (The following story is fictional, if there is absurdity, it is a plot requirement)]

When talking about Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, we cannot avoid talking about his love life, and we cannot avoid talking about his women. Liu Che is a person who has left examples for later emperors in many aspects. His achievements in civil governance, martial arts, strategy, literature, etc. We have discussed in the previous article that it has indeed set a yardstick for the kings who are eager to become wise and heroic lords in the future. His love and marriage are also full of power struggles and romantic colors. "Golden House Hiding Beauty" and "Weiyang Myth", two words that have been passed down to this day, reveal to us the two most important women in the life of Emperor Wu of Han, Chen Jiao and Wei Zifu. What fate did the two women with completely different experiences and personalities experience? What role did they play in the life of Emperor Wu of Han? Please watch "Hundred Schools of History" and review the record of the Han Wu of Han, and comment on the Golden House Hiding Beauty!

"Hidden beauty in the golden house"

During the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Ruizong of Tang Li Dan asked Li Longji, the crown prince who highly praised Emperor Wu of Han, and said, "Tell me, what was the most proud thing in Liu Che's life?" Li Longji replied: "Plain Yao's Iron Cavalry to be granted Juxu, and the golden house in Zhaoyang is hidden in Jiao." Emperor Ruizong smiled and said nothing.

For ancient emperors or men in the world, the most longing for them are generally two things. The first is to achieve great achievements and create brilliant achievements. The pirated Yao Tieqi here refers to the Han Wu's knowledge of people, promoted a large number of generals such as Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Ji Zhen, etc., and made great achievements, especially Huo Qubing, who sealed the wolf Juxu. The second is to be more subtle, that is, the red sleeves add fragrance and hold a beautiful woman. "The Golden House of Zhaoyang" obviously refers to only one person here, that is, the wife of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, who later became the biological mother of Emperor Xuan of Han, and the heroine of the Golden House of Chen Jiao.

Chen Jiao is also famous in history. In people's evaluation, she has always been a knowledgeable, smart and pretty woman, and is also a beautiful spokesperson. The Han Dynasty Empress Ma Ming Dexian was generous, and people praised her as the "legacy of Empress Chen". A generation of wise queens, Empress Changsun of the Tang Dynasty was also generous in praise of Chen Jiao when she wrote "Women's Training", and she always took it as a law. Neo-Confucianism was prevalent in later generations. In the eyes of Neo-Confucianists, Chen Jiao was proud and jealous, had a corruption of women, and could not be a role model for women. In modern times, the historical community also had a lot of debates around Empress Chen's virtues and achievements. So what kind of person is Chen Jiao? Let us all interpret history together and try to restore the real Empress Chen Xiaowu of Han.

1. The beautiful girl of heaven

No matter how ancient and modern people evaluated Empress Chen, the two sides reached a consensus on one thing, that is: Chen Jiao is noble and beautiful.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, was the fourth emperor of the Han Dynasty, while Chen Jiao was the sixth queen of the Han Dynasty. The royal family in the early Han Dynasty did not pay much attention to family background and class, so most of the concubines were poor: the first queen, Lu Zhi, was born in the village and was born in troubled times; the second queen, Zhang Yan, was the niece of her husband, who was completely the result of Empress Lu's paranoia; the third queen, was a daughter of a noble family, but she died without a warm position and her name was not left behind; the fourth queen, Dou Yifang and the fifth queen, Wang Shi, were completely from civilians. But it was different when Chen Jiao. Chen Jiao was born with a noble birth. No matter from any perspective, she was a veritable beauty of heaven.

Chen Jiao's father, Chen Wu, was a founding hero of the Han Dynasty. Chen Ying's descendant, and a descendant of Chen Ying, and inherited the Tangyi Marquis. "Records of the Grand Historian" records: "Chen Ying was the emperor of Dongyang, who lived in the county and was honest and honest, and became the elder. A young man in Dongyang killed his orders and gathered thousands of people. He wanted to set up a leader, but there was no application, so he asked Chen Ying. Ying could not thank him, so he forced Ying to be the eldest, and the county had 20,000 followers... Chen Ying's mother said to Ying: "I am your wife, and I have never heard of you who have nobles in the past. Now you have a great reputation, which is not a good fortune. It is better to have a subordinate. If you succeed, you will still be a marquis. If you fail, you will die easily, and it is not the name of the world." So everyone followed his words and belonged to Xiang Liang." Later, Xiang Yu became the overlord of the world with this force that Chen Ying gave up. Chen Ying was in a difficult situation in the ups and downs of wars.

Survived. When Xiang Yu was defeated, Chen Ying enlisted in time to Liu Bang. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, he was named Tangyi Marquis. Later, Chen Ying became the prime minister of Chu. In today's terms, Chen Ying's success lies in his ability to stand up, never stand up and face turmoil, and was cautious, and had no mistakes. Therefore, although he made great contributions in the Han Dynasty, he was not as popular as Han Xin and Ying Bu. Therefore, in the bloody operation of Liu Bang and Empress Lu to purge heroes, the Chen family could be safe. However, after Empress Lu's death, the Chen family became one of the few surviving heroes, and thus had a high status. The holy family was prosperous. Chen Wu was the third generation Tangyi Marquis, and Chen Jiao's brother Chen Xu was the fourth generation and the four generations of princes, which was the grand grandeur of Zhong Ming.

Chen Jiao's mother is even more amazing. It is the Dumai Zhu Liu Piao, who we repeatedly mentioned in previous sections. Princess Guantao was the eldest sister of Emperor Jing of Han, and Liu Qi respected her very much. From the fact that after Empress Dowager Dou died, she gave all her inheritance to Liu Piao, we can see that Empress Dowager Dou loved this eldest daughter, and even spoiled her. Princess Guantao's arrogant and domineering behavior proves that her wealth as the eldest princess and Dumai Zhu was amazing and powerful.

Chen Jiao, the only daughter of Princess Guantao, was naturally favored by the palace. "Records of the Grand Historian" records: "(Later) whenever her mother came in and out of the palace, Emperor Jing felt pity for her." "Empress Dowager Dou loved her and said, "The Empress Dowager should choose a good son-in-law for her." The Empress Dowager was the grandfather and the emperor was the uncle. The marquis's mansion, which lasted for a hundred years, was supported by the Marquis' Mansion. The two identities of the royal bloodline and the descendants of meritorious officials were combined. Such a life experience could be said to be "sweet and noble" in the Han Dynasty.

Our evaluation of Chen Jiao as the "Girl of Heaven" is not just because of her origin. Chen Jiao's outstandingness is not only due to a flawless family tree. Ancient women left their names in history, largely because of their beautiful appearance. The beauty of this Jiao, who was "hidden in the golden house" by Emperor Wu of Han, is beyond doubt. According to historical records, Chen Jiao was beautiful when she was 5 or 6 years old, and was evaluated by Emperor Jing, "Although the ladies in the harem are unparalleled, this woman is beyond the reach of the ladies in the palace after ten years." This sentence is in plain language.

In other words, it is like this: "My wives are very beautiful, but when my little niece grows up, which women will stand aside." Liu Che vowed to "storage them in a golden house" at the age of four. Although as we said before, it may be largely due to Wang Zhi's political considerations, such praise makes a four-year-old child say it naturally, and makes others, especially Emperor Jing of Han, not feel artificial, and it also has a certain factual basis. We must believe that our history has always been

The tendency to be implicit and rigorous, historians always value connotation and neglect appearance. If we describe the appearance of characters as clearly as Western historical materials, we will be blessed to be born, especially when filming movies, it is easy to find actors, but "Records of the Grand Historian" is not only so thick. However, once the historical books do not stingy about a person's appearance, then the description of this person is really outstanding. In "Records of the Grand Historian", Sima Qian used a long passage to describe the beauty of Empress Chen. During the emperor's wedding, Chen Jiao entered the palace again.

At that time, "At the age of eighteen, those who saw him looked at him, thinking that he was a god." It was not easy to move the people in the palace who were used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women. On the wedding night, Chen Jiao "had her head hangs on her hair, her hair is radiant, and she is not as beautiful as the morning glow, but the color is like the morning glow reflects the snow." Liu Che said: "If Jiao was a wife, she would store it as a golden house. As he said," it was a state of satisfaction. Such whispers could be recorded by the historian, which means that these words were no longer a secret secret.

In addition to family background and appearance, Gillian can be proud of, and his erudition is also knowledgeable and political awareness gradually revealed. We will mention this in the future. Since Empress Chen Xiaowu, it has become a potential criterion for establishing Empresses with both virtue and ability. However, for the past two thousand years, not many virtuous empresses who can compete with Chen Jiao. They are knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and politically politicians. Few concubines can do it at the same time, but Gillian happened to do it completely. Going further, Empress Chen's outstanding feature is that she was a master of the discipline of the genius of that era, which is very incredible.

Two, no guesses

We say that Emperor Wu of Han was an emperor full of romantic colors, and his emotional world was also full of legends. Chen Jiao, Wei Zifu, and two women who had been very favored by Liu Che, both made their names in history with their extraordinary lives. However, Liu Che did not have only two women in his life. As emperors, Liu Che's harem could not be compared with the kings who were favored by Liu Cheli in later generations. However, in the early Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han was unprecedentedly large, with more than 10,000 palace maids. According to historical records, in addition to the two queens, there were also the concubines who left him with descendants, including the wife of Wang from Zhao and Meiren from Chu. There were countless concubines who did not leave their names. Moreover, there was also evidence that proved that Emperor Wu of Han was Fengliu, which was that when Liu Che was in power, the ranks of concubines became more complex. In the early Han Dynasty, the Qin system was followed, and in addition to the queen, the wife, beauty, good man, eight sons, and seven sons were set up. In addition to the queen, the wife, beauty, beauties, eight sons, and seven sons were set up. Moreover, there was also evidence that proved that Emperor Wu of Han was Fengliu. When Liu Che was in power, the ranks of concubines were more complicated. In the early Han Dynasty, the Qin system was followed, and in addition to the queen, the wife, beauty, beauties, eight sons, and seven sons were set up.

The titles of , Chief Envoy, Junior Envoy, etc. By Emperor Wu of Han, four levels were added: Jieyu, Qing'e, Ronghua and Chongyi. This can also indicate that the scale of the harem had expanded at this time, and Liu Che also put his mind in the harem. Liu Che is a love species, and he is a very affectionate person. As an emperor, as a man, he can broadcast the rain and dew and favor many women, but the temporary joy can show that he really fell in love with these women? We know that this is unrealistic, and Liu Che's actions also show that he did not value so many women. We say that what he values ​​more should be the women who leave offspring for him, because children are a bond between men and women after all. However, in the palace, this bond is not necessarily so reliable. The only women he loved should be Chen Jiao and Wei Zifu. But if Liu Che really loved that woman in his life, then there is no doubt that only Jiao.

Why can I say so affirmatively? This is due to many factors. However, I think the most important one is the reason that seems very vulgar now, that is, Liu Che and Jiao are childhood sweethearts, cousins ​​and brothers who are young and unpredictable.

As we talked about the last talk, when Liu Che was four years old, he made a promise to hide the sweetheart in the golden house. Regardless of whether it was really childish or not, Princess Guantao was very happy and Wang Shi was very satisfied. It can be guessed that Empress Dowager Dou and Emperor Jing of Han must be very happy, because Gillian was very favored in the palace, and Empress Dowager Dou even said, "I must find a good son-in-law for my granddaughter." The speaker is intentional, and the listener is also intentional. Gillian's husband's status will definitely be different from other princes, which is the default of the royal family. In order to expand their influence, Princess Guantao united more closely with the beauty Wang Shi at that time. No matter how the adults planned it, four-year-old Liu Che and five-year-old Gillian "have played like a playful life since then, and their feelings have become stronger". After all, the children are pure in their hearts. The result of this intimate life is that the couple's emotional foundation is very solid.

Later, King Liang intended to infer the throne, but was hated by Emperor Jing. It was through Princess Guantao's mediation that he could escape danger. On the one hand, this shows the weight of Liu Piao, the elder sister in the hearts of the two younger brothers. On the other hand, it also made Liu Piao in a dilemma among the two younger brothers. In terms of interests, it was difficult for Liu Piao to distinguish which side would be more beneficial to him. In terms of emotions, Emperor Jing and King Liang were both his younger brothers, and there was no difference between closeness and alienation. In this regard, Liu Piao adopted a wait-and-see attitude and did not take A Jiao to the court, which led to Liu Che and A Jiao not meeting for several years.

But this does not mean that the two people have not been in contact within a few years. Chen Jiao has maintained contact with Liu Che through letters in these few years. That is, historical records show that Jiao encouraged Liu Che, who was afraid of the threat of King Liang, and wrote small things around her to Liu Che. The two of them had a close relationship. Even an anonymous miscellaneous note from the Jin Dynasty said that Jiao once climbed over the wall and wanted to meet Liu Che, but was taken back by the servants of Princess Guantao's mansion halfway. Queen Chen did not climb over the wall, but this kind of straightforward and enthusiastic personality was fully revealed. Such a passionate, cheerful and lively girl, so cute, and so sincerely loved herself, how could Liu Che not like it? Of course she liked! We can infer that in Liu Che's youth, Emperor Wu of Han, who had not started his career as an emperor, had loved A Jiao wholeheartedly. This relationship was sincere and enthusiastic.

Three, newlyweds

Emperor Jing died and Liu Che succeeded to the throne. In the spring of the second year of Jianyuan, he married Ajiao. Historical books used a considerable length to record the great scenery of Emperor Wu's wedding:

"In the spring of the second year of Jianyuan, the Empress Dowager of Changle and Zongzheng were accepted by the emperor, and used silk, geese, jade, and four horses to ask for a girl. Eight Fu Mu helped her daughter and stood in the south. At the age of eight, those who saw her looked at her tongue and thought she was a god. Prime Minister Ying and Censor Wan welcomed the Queen's Hall. The Queen's dress was blue on the top and white on the bottom, with deep collars and wide sleeves, and she wore a shiny cloak, and her long clothes were dragged on the ground, but her feet were not seen. She wore a dragon and phoenix pearl crown, a golden step, and a hairpin and an earring. She bowed to the Chen temple.

, boarded the car and entered the front hall of Weiyang Palace. The emperor was in the Xuanxuan, and all officials accompanied him. The empress was north, and the ritual officials finished reading the book of the book. The empress knelt three times and bowed three times. The female official led the empress to thank him for his kindness, saying, "I am Chen Jiao, I have been to the emperor for thousands of years." The charm was like a breeze shaking the flute, or like a delicate oriole singing. The emperor was moved by it. The Taiwei gave him a seal and ribbon, and the Zhongchang Taifu knelt down and received it, and transferred it to the female official. The female official took the empress to bow and bow, and then called him the concubine. After thanking him, he ascended the throne. All the ministers took the throne and bowed to him and retreated. The empress took a soft carriage to enter the central palace."

What is the central palace like? The main palace at that time was Shufang Hall. Shufang Hall "all the walls are painted with gold, pepper is fragrant and scented, pearls are decorated as curtains, jade is carved as tables, sandalwood is used as beds, corals, red silk is used as tents, jade is decorated with brocade quilts and embroidered pillows, all of which are weaving gold, dragons and phoenixes. Other treasures are decorated with treasures, and they are dazzling and cannot be described."

Liu Che made a vow to "hide the sweetheart in the golden house" and finally achieved it. Liu Che was proud and saw Ah Jiao's shy look "shamed and bowed, and as faint as finger marks" and teased, "People say that Ah Jiao is dignified and virtuous, so they are so? Do you forget all the things that the sacred person plays?" People say that you, Ah Jiao, are you really? Have you forgotten all the things we did when we were young? The bride Ah Jiao glared at Liu Che and glared at Liu Che, and saw that Ah Jiao's personality still had not changed.

What kind of personality does Gillian have? In the original words in "Records of the Grand Historian", there are two words "女". Gillian's name sounds like a charming and charming, but how should she understand it? There is an inappropriate analogy. Who is the most popular heroine in Jin Yong's novel? Yes, Huang Rong! What kind of personality does Huang Rong have? Lively, smart, naughty, straightforward, affectionate, and with extraordinary talent, new tricks that are not sought are dazzling. She is a very cute and cute little girl. However, as a sweet girl who grew up in love with the sky, Huang Rong has her pride and her shortcomings. She is proud and has no dust at the moment; she is a bit proud

Slow; she is willful and has many domineering behaviors. Guo Fu, who inherits her shortcomings, is disgusting to everyone. But do we hate Huang Rong? No! I think most people love her very much because her advantages make her shining, while her shortcomings make her image more three-dimensional. When a girl sees her, she thinks she is a little sister who dares to do what she wants to do, and wants to hold her in her arms and hurts her. What about men? Take it home and be a wife! (I care about other people, can you just love me?) A barbaric girlfriend will be popular, let alone omnipotent Ronger. Huang Rong's cuteness is not about the perfection of becoming a fairy, but about her being a woman with flesh and blood, crying, laughing, and growing up.

According to the evaluation of "pretty" and "spicy" in history books, Gillian Huang has all the advantages and disadvantages. But for Liu Che, Gillian, who is enthusiastic and straightforward, loves her women so deeply, and is also a clear sweet spring in the deep palace. It is advisable to be angry and happy, lively and lively. Marrying her is what she wants, and the newlywed life of the two is very sweet.

Liu Che returned with a beautiful woman, but his career was in crisis. We have talked about the new policy of Jianyuan, Liu Che respected Confucianism and strengthened autocracy, which aroused dissatisfaction among Queen Mother Dou and the conservative forces. At this time, the King of Huainan was attempting the throne again. Liu Che's important minister was killed, the new policy failed, and even the throne was in danger. At this time, Gillian once again exerted her huge influence. When Liu Che first implemented the new policy, Gillian's political awareness began to sprout - "I later worry about this, and I failed to persuade the emperor several times." Chen

Jiao may have been simple out of family affection, or because she had a ignorant understanding of the political situation and was worried about the new policy of Jianyuan. After the failure of the new policy, Liu Che expressed love and love, and the King of Huainan had a bad intention, so Jiao was with Empress Dowager Dou, taking advantage of the empress dowager's love for him and his identity to help Liu Che through this crisis. During this period, Liu Che "although the emperor lost his position at that time, the husband and wife were in love, and the harem was in harmony, but they were favored alone later."

During the days when Liu Che lost power, the young couple Liu Che and Ajiao shared hardships, joys and sorrows, and spent their newlyweds. However, in the sweetness of the newlyweds, it also brought hidden dangers to their future lives.

Fourth, don't complain

In the previous article, we mentioned that Ah Jiao accompanied Liu Che through the difficult years after ascending the throne. The two had a happy marriage and the couple was loving, but the seeds of anxiety had been planted for the future. So, what are these contradictions?

First, Liu Che declined.

Looking at history or observing us, many couples can share the joys and sorrows, but once they overcome the difficulties, the marriage will break down. Why? The reason is very complicated, but a very important point is that men are all good at face value. Men hope to be heroes, like women to look up to him, admire him, and do not like to be embarrassed in front of women. A wife who shares the sufferings and sorrows once saw him in a down-and-out manner, so her vanity cannot be satisfied. The same is true for Liu Che.

Liu Che has always had great ambitions, and his ideal was to become a hero of a generation. However, Liu Che, who had just ascended the throne, not only suffered reforms, but his power was defeated, and even the throne was in danger. In the end, he could sit in this position and rely on his wife and mother-in-law. How could Liu Che not be frustrated with self-esteem and grudges? And Gillian protected himself with the aura of a beautiful girl from heaven. How could Liu Che not feel lost and inferior? It would be fine if Liu Che was a cowardly person, but he was a very strong person. He would deeply remember the grievances he suffered these days. Gillian's kindness can be both her virtuousness and her death talisman for tomorrow.

Second, Gillian has no son.

As the queen, she was able to spread her branches and leaves for the emperor and give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible to ensure the extension of her bloodline. However, Gillian was given a few years of favor, but she did not give birth to a man or a woman. At that time, it was a great sin. From the spring of the second year of Jianyuan, Gillian entered the palace to the sixth year of Jianyuan (is it?) Chen Jiao moved to Ganquan Palace. Gillian had about five years of favoring the harem, but she had no children. Then in the fifth year of Yuanshuo, Gillian was deposed, and Gillian still had no children. In fact, after deducting the years when the emperor and empress separated, Gillian and Gillian and Gillian were given the same fate.

Liu Che lived together for only five years. There are many modern couples who have no children for five or six years, which does not mean that there will be no possibility of having children in the future. However, in order to get a grandson as soon as possible, Princess Guantao spent a total of 90 million yuan for Chen Jiao to seek medical treatment and medicine. This was definitely a huge sum of money at that time, because the country's annual tax revenue was only how much? This was the tax revenue for ten years at that time! Spending so much money, Gillian still had no children, which was the same as making the final judgment. In history, the queen without children often did not last long.

Third, being good at spoiling spoiled.

"The hibiscus flowers in the past are now heartbroken grass."

We mentioned just now that Gillian's personality belongs to the kind of flamboyant and enthusiastic. She is lively, cheerful and strong. However, these characteristics show that Chen Jiao is not a gentle woman in the traditional sense. She can speak softly, but she cannot look weak and lovely like Wei Zifu and many women at that time. Because she and Liu Che are childhood sweethearts, she is Liu Che's cousin. In her heart, Liu Che will always be the cousin who is called "王er". Gillian's background is noble, and in terms of the situation at that time, Gillian's status is even far superior to that of a far superior to that of a person. Gillian's background is noble.

Many of the genuine princesses of Emperor Wu of the Emperor, such a wealthy lady may never have looked down upon. She is favored by the Empress Dowager and the role model of Princess Guantao. It would be strange if Gillian did not have the right to be Wuchen. It is impossible for any concubine in the harem of Emperor Wu of Han who is superior to her, and the emperor favors her alone. This young lady-like queen naturally calls for the wind and rain in the harem and is arrogant. However, this personality is naturally very good when Liu Che likes her, but once Liu Che is tired, he is a symbol of arrogant and unaware of the general.

Chen Jiao is a woman with true temperament. She is one of the few ancient queens who pursue love exclusively. Such a personality is both natural temperament and acquired cultivation. There are only two queens who require her husband to love only her, even only her, one is Chen Jiao, and the other is the famous Dugu Jialuo. Empress Dugu can cut off the hands of the palace maid whom Emperor Wen of Sui, and Empress Chen did not give in too much. Chen Jiao heard that Wei Zifu got great luck, "there are a few dead", that is, she is seeking death. Of course, she did not let Wei Zifu go well. At the same time, Princess Guantao also went to trouble Wei Zifu's younger brother Wei Qing, and a famous general Wei Qing almost

He died in a confused manner at that time. After Wei Zifu was favored, he gave birth to Princess Wei, the only child of Liu Che, at that time, and his identity did not improve. Until Princess Wei was three years old, at the palace banquet, Chen Jiao still organized Wei Zifu and his daughter in the queue of Leren, which made Liu Che very angry. The direct consequence of this incident was that Chen Jiao moved to Ganquan Palace and separated from Liu Che. Wei Zifu moved into Shufang Hall and became the most favored woman of Emperor Wu of Han. He gave birth to Princess Yangshi and Princess Zhuyi one after another, further consolidating his status. Wei Qing showed his military talents and was valued by Liu Che. As a big family in the Han Dynasty, the Wei family entered the historical stage.

In addition to the three points we mentioned above, there is a hidden but fundamental reason why Gillian fell out of favor and Liu Che fell in love with others, that is, the powerful foreign relatives caused disgust and hatred by Emperor Wu of Han as an emperor.

We have said that throughout the Han Dynasty, the influence of the relatives of the foreigners was quite large. In the early Han Dynasty, the power of the empress dowager could even determine the stability of the throne. Empress Lü could kill meritorious officials and persecut the princes, and even the Han family almost changed their surnames. The new policy of Jianyuan implemented by Emperor Wu of Han was initially defeated by the opposition of the conservative forces headed by Empress Dowager Dou's relatives. His throne was almost lost due to the tolerance of the relatives of the foreigners, and was continued by the tolerance of the relatives of the foreigners. How could such a shame not be unforgettable to Liu Che? Gillian was his woman, but behind Gillian there was a huge group of foreigners that he disliked. Gillian grew up in the Changle Palace of the Empress Dowager's bedroom when he was young and was very close to the Dou family. Gillian's father was at that time. Gillian's father was at that time.

One of the few founding heroes. Gillian's mother, Princess Guantao, has the dual identities of Princess and Taizhu Dou, has a high position and a high power, and has extremely strong desire for power in terms of personality and great political skills. These are all taboos that Liu Che. Judging from the situation at that time, what will happen to Ah Gillian and what will happen to the Chen family in the future are all unthinkable. Liu Che, from his lifelong achievements, he is a monarch who highly values ​​centralization. He has been trying to weaken the power of the foreign relatives in a purposeful and step-by-step manner, balancing the power between the civil and military officials and military officials, and ensuring that he is arbitrary. When he finally can take over the power, he attacked the foreign relatives without hesitation. The Chen family is just one of them.

Five, the desolate future

In the fifth year of Yuanguang, a far-reaching event occurred in the history of the Han Dynasty, that is, Emperor Wu deposed the empress.

This incident is recorded in "Records of the Grand Historian's Family of Relatives":

"The emperor issued an edict to abolish Chen family, collect the seal and ribbon of the empress, set it back, and abandoned it. The people who were arrested as witchcraft in Ganquan Palace were all killed. Later, they hid and never saw each other for several years."

In "Book of Han. Biography of Foreign Relatives: Empress Xiaowu Chen", the edict of the deposed queen at that time was specially recorded:

"The queen is confused by the witch and cannot bear the will of heaven. She has her seal and ribbon, and she will retreat to Changmen Palace."

Empress Chen was deposed like this.

We can refer to the reasons why Gillian fell out of favor just now, and combined with the deposed edict of the deposed queen, we can briefly summarize the reasons why Gillian was deposed as: no son, jealousy, and the direct reason is witchcraft. The deep reason is that the power of foreign relatives has caused dissatisfaction with Emperor Wu of Han. But what is interesting here is that we can all understand the deep reasons, but after deep thinking, those obvious reasons have made us confused.

There is no child. History has proved that Gillian's fertility is completely fine. Empress Chen was 32 years old when she gave birth to Princess Guangyu, and she was 37 years old when she gave birth to Emperor Xuan of Han. Moreover, after giving birth, her health was also very good. It is said that she still looked like a young woman in her twenties, and later she lived to her 80s, and she was even better than Liu Che. Gillian was already 18 years old when she married Liu Che. In order to increase the population in the early Han Dynasty, it was stipulated that women would be fined before they got married at the age of 14. After more than 80 years of rest and recuperation, this regulation may be loosened. This also proves from one aspect that a 14-year-old woman could be a wife and a mother. Gillian should have fertility at this time. Furthermore, Gillian was favored for several years and was very favored, so how could she have no children? This is a question.

It is possible to be jealous. However, Liu Che is childhood sweetheart with Gillian. He understands Gillian's personality. Moreover, during the two periods of time when Gillian was favored, he favored Gillian alone for the time of his life and when he entered Zhaoyang. If Liu Che was tired of Gillian, searching for a second spring, or giving up a tree to get the whole forest, why did he turn around and find Gillian again, and be willing to accept it? It is said that a good horse will not eat the grass back!

People answered differently to this question.

A female writer of the romance school, represented by Ms. Qiong Yao, misunderstanding and sensational stories portray Liu Che as a passionate and relentless prodigal son, allowing him to see the charming and love only Ah Jiao. Ten years ago, "The Misty Rain of Changmen" was popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Liu Che, played by Ma Jingtao, shouted and won many girls' hearts.

The martial arts writer, represented by Huang Yi, allowed Chen Jiao to obtain Mo Zi's order from the Changmen Secret Room, practiced peerless magical skills, remained young forever, and ordered the believers of Mo Jun in the world to help Liu Che to expel the Xiongnu and pacify the princes and create a prosperous era together. For the book "Female Mo", there were as many people scolding as they praised.

Finally, witchcraft.

This problem is more complicated. Witchcraft is what we commonly call a slaughter. It is really ignorant and ridiculous to us now because of the superstition of people. Because of the fact that people are very superstitious, it was regarded as a serious crime. I don’t know how many people died from witchcraft from ancient times to the present, and Empress Chen Jiao was also deposed.

But we have to ask, is this true? Most of the people who died of witchcraft in ancient times were wrongly persecuted!

People who think that Gillian did not have witchcraft have the following reasons: First, Gillian was a representative figure of the Mo Sect at that time and one of the few people with scientific spirit at that time. Judging from many of her opinions and actions, she was skeptical about the theory of gods and ghosts. Second, the harem has always been full of conspiracies. Wei Zifu is not a simple woman, but also the eye of Princess Pingyang. Who knows there is no inside story here? Third, if Gillian did witchcraft harm, then she later entered Zhaoyang, and then the mother of the world, and the royal family did not criticize Gillian at all. It seems that Gillian did not have this stain. Witchcraft harm was not only illegal, but also a great moral flaw. Other concubines with similar experiences in ancient times had to lose their skin if they did not die. How could they have the qualification to witchcraft to the world?

People who think that Gillian is indeed Wu Gu also have reasons: First, after Gillian regained the emperor's favor, Liu Che never rehabilitated her, even after Wei Zifu committed suicide. Second, Gillian is a woman with passionate emotions. When a woman falls into jealousy, she will be irrational. Witchcraft is the last method of the woman who fell out of favor at that time. Third, is Gillian perfect? ​​Will the virtuous queen be flawless? Gillian is not a queen famous for her virtuous favor? At that time, Gillian was the queen, and Wei Zifu was the weaker side. She wanted to frame Gillian or whether she could do it was just a guess.

It is difficult for us to know the truth of history. We believe that both of these statements make sense. Gillian may have witchcraft or were wronged. Gillian was abolished because of this. The ultimate reason for Gillian to be abolished is not this, but that Emperor Wu of Han, who had been patient for many years, finally attacked the foreign relatives.

After the deposed queen, the Chen family lost power, the Dou family and the Tian family suffered both losses, and were successively defeated by the clan and the Wei family. A political reshuffle is in progress.

A "Nagato Fu" cannot recall Liu Che's review. The Changmen Palace is sad and bitter. A Jiao has spent two years of silence. Everyone thinks that the story of hiding a beautiful girl in the golden house has become a bubble. When Chen Jiao will disappear forever, the situation suddenly undergoes a major change!

Six, Zhaoyang again

In the fifth year of Yuanguang, Empress Chen Jiao was deposed and retired to Changmen Palace.

In the first year of Yuanshuo, Wei Zifu finally gave birth to Liu Che's first prince. His mother was noble because of her son and ascended the throne of the queen. Wei family became a nobleman second only to the Liu family's royal family. Wei Qing was valued by Emperor Wu of Han, and went to the Huns one after another, seized the opportunity to make great military achievements, and was further given to Liu Che's respect. The Wei family, this former slave family, finally got rid of the fate of being enslaved for generations, and under the halo of Empress Wei Zifu and the military achievements of Wei Qing, it flourished. The Wei family, Wei Zifu, and Wei Qing became a legend of a generation and were envied by people at that time. Chen Jiao, who had stopped living in Changmen, seemed to have become a piece of history, which should be lonely, pale, and eternal.

However, no one expected that the situation had a major reversal.

In the second year of Yuanshuo, as the status of the queen guard Zifu became increasingly stable and Wei Qing made great contributions again, Liu Che personally welcomed Chen Jiao, whom he had personally deposed, took a carriage and returned to Weiyang Palace, where Ah Jiao was arranged in the Zhaoyang Palace, where "gold is the wall and white jade is the steps". Even, "the favor is getting deeper and deeper, and he was in power in the past." Ah Jiao's limelight was unparalleled, overshadowing Wei Zifu who lived in Shufang Hall and other concubines in the harem. In response, the palace was almost temporarily lost its voice inside and outside.

Just took it back like this? What's going on? I'll give you a reason!!

When Gillian was just deposed, Princess Guantao spent a lot of money to invite the talented Sima Xiangru to write a long-distance essay, and wrote Ah Jiao's voice thoroughly, hoping that Liu Che would change his mind in the past, but Liu Che just praised Sima Xiangru for his good writing, and didn't even ask Gillian, as if he didn't have this person. Two years later, when Gillian had faded out of people's sight, Liu Che actually welcomed Gillian back in person, and arranged it in Zhaoyang Hall, which is known as a rich and auspicious person. I guess people's chins fell off the floor. What is the reason?

Liu Che did not give anyone any explanation.

Then, something even more surprising happened again: Gillian, who had not been pregnant for more than ten years, got pregnant in just over a month after returning to the palace! And at this time, Liu Che's favor for Gillian was even more favorable than when Gillian became the queen. The relationship between the two was better than that at that time! It was very incredible.

I don’t know how people inside and outside the palace viewed the incredible incident of Yuanshuo at that time, but it can be imagined that this was not a pleasant thing for Wei Zifu, Wei family, and the concubines in the harem at that time.
