It is not easy to bring down Li Ji and the prince. Liu whoring also needs assistants.
Perhaps because she heard the rumor that Hong Sun was in her arms, Liu Piao admired this person's scheming and methods. Yes, her assistant was Wang Quan, the mother of Emperor Wu.
Wang Quan was just a commoner. Her mother Zang'er was the granddaughter of Zang Tu, the original king of Yan. Zang Tu's King of Yan was conferred by Xiang Yu. He took refuge with Liu Bang out of necessity. Seeing Liu Bang repeatedly belittling the hero Han Xin, Zang Tu couldn't sit still anymore. He almost jumped up to rebel and asked Liu Bang to catch him. Liu Bang did not disappoint him.
Although Zang Tu was reckless, his blood of a "hero" who was not willing to surrender and took the initiative was injected into the body of Zang Er, a woman from generation to generation.
Zang Er married Wang Zhong of Huaili Ren and gave birth to a son and two daughters. The son was named Wang Xin, the eldest daughter was Wang Na, the mother of Emperor Wu, and the second daughter was named Wang Haoji. After Wang Zhong died, Zang'er remarried to the Changling Tian family and gave birth to two sons, Tian Fu and Tian Sheng. Although his family was in decline, Zang'er was still the daughter of a famous family.
I don’t know who Jin Wangsun was. Maybe he was as rich as his name, and as noble as a king’s grandson. In short, Zang’er married Wang Ao to him, and Wang Ao gave birth to a daughter for him. The whole family was harmonious and beautiful.
Maybe she always felt that she had made a loss-making deal - her uncle Jin Wangsun really didn't seem to have the possibility of restoring the glory of the Zang family - Zang'er, with doubts and hope, found someone to predict his two daughters.
The fortune teller "said that both women should be noble."
A woman is so precious that she can only be a queen.
Zang'er forcibly snatched Wang Dan back from the Jin family's home. What can be compared with the hatred of seizing his wife is the mortal hatred of killing his father. Of course, Jin Wangsun refused to say goodbye to his beloved wife. He was both humiliated and angry. He was allowed to beat his chest and cry, but Zang'er didn't care about it at all and sent Wang Hao and Wang Haohao to the palace of Liu Qi, the prince at that time. If Wang Ao threatened to die, that is, to be with Jin Wangsun, Zang'er could only pat his thigh, and there was nothing he could do with her. Therefore, without Wang Da's consent, Zang Er's "robbery" would not work anyway. Ignoring the desperate look in her husband's eyes and the tender little hands stretched out by her infant daughter, Wang Ao turned around and left.
Wang Haosheng is okay, but Wang Ao is already married. Will Liu Qi still accept everything?
In fact, the customs of the Han Dynasty were completely different from those of later dynasties, such as the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, it was common for widows to remarry, and people would not point fingers behind their backs. For example, the mother of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, Bo Ji, was originally a woman in the palace of King Bao of Wei. After Wei Bao was killed by Zhou Ke, Liu Bang took a fancy to her and took her as his own. Later, Zhou Bo and Chen Ping pacified the Lu and welcomed Bo Ji. Her son Liu Heng became the emperor, and Bo Ji became the queen mother.
A woman who once "served two husbands" could become the queen mother, which shows the tolerance of society towards women at that time.
In fact, this kind of tolerance lasted until the Song Dynasty. As the saying goes, "Be anxious when the world is worried first, and be happy when the world is happy later." Fan Zhongyan's mother once took him to remarry, and no one criticized him.
Until the Mongols invaded the south, they regarded women as property, and their concepts were completely different from those of the Han people. The conflict over the marriage system between the two parties gradually intensified. In order to "protect their own women," the Han society began to praise chastity.
Having said that, the "privilege of remarriage" is only limited to widows or divorced women - King Jin's grandson is not dead yet! Wang Quan was not divorced by Jin Wangsun. Once the incident spreads, Wang Quan will be under tremendous pressure from public opinion, and will even fall into a predicament that many people will blame. Therefore, by "entering the palace in secret marriage", Zang Er and Wang Dan were cutting off their own options and taking a huge risk.
Wang Quan is a smart woman, but the olive branch of Liu's prostitution was not directly extended to Wang Quan, but to Liu Che, her child.
Liu Che was not named Liu Che when he was born, but Liu Zhi. Piggy means little piglet. How could a majestic prince be named after a pig?
According to "The Story of Han Wu", "Emperor Jing also dreamed of Gaozu and said to him: 'The beautiful lady Wang has a son. He can be called a pig.'"
It can be seen that Liu Che's birth not only alarmed his father Liu Qi, Emperor Jing, but also alarmed his ancestor Liu Bang, the great ancestor of Han Dynasty. This means that Emperor Jing dreamed that Gaozu named Liu Che.
When Liu She was young, she was not only cute, but also full of intelligence from head to toe. He was naughty and mischievous all day long, having fun with his aunt Liu's daughter and cousin Chen Ajiao.
Liu Piao held Liu She on his lap, pointed at his beloved daughter and said, "Can I give Gillian to you as your wife?" Liu She clapped his hands and shouted, if Gillian becomes my wife, I will build a gold house for her to live in.
What a great Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, with such bold words at such a young age! All the girls waiting to be married in the world will be excited after hearing this, right?
However, "The Story of Hanwu" is a fantasy novel, and the story of Liu Bang's dream and the hidden beauty in the golden house are not recorded in "Historical Records" and "Hanshu", so it is probably just a game.
In any case, by promising Gillian to Liu She, Liu Piao and Wang Quan's hands were tightly held together. Wang Dan is not as ignorant as Li Ji, and her sensitive nose quickly smells the smell of conspiracy! She knew too well the importance of marrying Liu, and she had to seize this opportunity. The throne of the queen was right in front of her!
It is only natural for the mother-in-law to speak for her son-in-law. Liu whoring often whispered in Emperor Jing's ears how smart and strong Liu She was, how lovely and smart he was. Emperor Jing knew what Liu Xuan said. Otherwise, how could he change his name to Tongche or "Che" when Liu She was seven years old?
However, deposing and establishing the crown prince was a major matter for the country, and Emperor Jing had to think carefully about it.
A feuding couple
Li Ji's political skills were still insufficient. She rejected Liu Piao's marriage, which was regarded as "breaking her face." However, she had no follow-up means to deal with Liu Piao, nor did she spy on Liu Piao with her bright eyes open at night. Time to deal with her. Li Ji may not have wanted to do anything with Liu's prostitution, and her refusal to marry was probably just a way to vent her emotions. But Li Ji lost her temper at the wrong time and place. She didn't know how many people were sharpening their knives against her and the prince when she was acting willfully.
Liu's prostitution was different. The fear of offending the future Queen Mother forced her to "strike first to gain advantage." Liu Piao said to Emperor Jing that when Li Ji and your favorite concubines gather together, her waiters will always curse, spit, and harm others with witchcraft behind their backs.
Emperor Wu conducted a large-scale search for witchcraft in his later years; Mr. Li Zehou said in "The Course of Beauty" that the Qin and Han Dynasties were an era when humans and gods "coexisted without barriers"; Mr. Li Ling's "Chinese Alchemy Examination" also discussed the strong witchcraft style in the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Riki's witchcraft curse is possible, and according to her character, it is very likely that she will do so.
However, Liu whoring knows that "begging God and worshiping Buddha" is useless. The war between women can only be decided by men. Probably because many women entered the palace through her hands, Liu Piao was very well-informed. Li Ji probably never dreamed that her little tricks would reach Liu Piao's ears, and then spread to Emperor Jing through Liu Piao's mouth. in the ears.
Discord in the harem is often the emperor's biggest headache. Therefore, "Emperor Jing looked forward to it."
"Emperor Jing" is the posthumous title given to Liu Qi by his descendants after his death. The so-called "the old man thinks greatly about the scenery" means that he is not reckless and likes to think deeply. Although Emperor Jing was unhappy, Li Ji was the prince's biological mother after all and had to observe and observe, so he did not have an attack.
Liu's goal of prostitution was achieved, and Emperor Jing's attention was already focused on Li Ji. Li Ji didn't know that this was no longer just a game between her and Liu Piao, but now even Emperor Jing was "participating" in it. However, the devil of violent human nature has possessed her, and she still doesn't know how to restrain herself.
Emperor Jing's health has always been poor. One time Emperor Jing fell ill, probably so seriously that he thought he was going to die. As the saying goes, when a bird is about to die, its words are sad; when a person is about to die, its words are also kind. He summoned Li Ji and began to take care of the funeral affairs in a weak body.
"After I die, those children will be handed over to you. You must treat them well."
However, Li Ji "refused to respond and spoke rudely".
Li Ji has been tortured to a point of madness by jealousy. Emperor Jing's meaning was very obvious, Li Ji was already the queen in his heart. Li Ji had no reaction to this and rejected Emperor Jing.
People who are sick need warm comfort most, even if it is deception. The soft part in Emperor Jing's heart was "happily" crushed by Li Ji's harsh words. At this time, he was no longer the warm husband who entrusted the funeral affairs. , the atmosphere between the two people quickly changed from "fusion" to "confrontation". But perhaps because he felt guilty, or perhaps because he was too ill to have the strength to argue, Emperor Jing chose to remain silent. Silence does not mean calmness. New accounts and old accounts are stacked up. Emperor Jing's anger is lurking and flowing underneath like fire. Once he finds a crack in the earth's crust, it will burst out.
One day at the court meeting, Da Xing (official name, in charge of etiquette) finished his performance, and then made a speech to Emperor Jing: "'A son is more valuable than his mother, and a mother is more valuable than his son.' Now that the prince's mother Li Ji has not been given the title, she should be made the emperor. Queen."
Emperor Jing said angrily, why are you talking about this? The guards were ordered to pull Da Xing out and chop him down. In fact, under the ancient monarchy, the king's family affairs were state affairs, not to mention major matters such as establishing a prince and a queen. Since they were state affairs, why couldn't ministers participate in the discussion?
What Emperor Jing said "Why are you talking so much" was just because what Da Xing said touched Emperor Jing's objections - Emperor Jing had given up on Li Ji, so how could he make her his queen? Once Daxing's suggestion was adopted, the ultimate beneficiary was Li Ji, and Emperor Jing thought that Li Ji was instigating behind Daxing. So he deposed Liu Rong as the crown prince and demoted him to the title of King Linjiang; he also relegated Li Ji to the cold palace. Li Ji could not see the emperor's face and had no chance to explain, so she died of depression and anger.
Regarding Da Xing's proposal to establish a queen, Sima Qian said this: "Mrs. Wang knew that the emperor wanted Li Ji, and because of her unresolved anger, she tricked the minister into making Li Ji his queen."
It turned out to be Wang Quan who was behind this! Her tactics of "retreating in order to advance" and "taking before giving" can be described as vicious!
After Liu Rong was deposed and Li Ji was banished to the cold palace, Emperor Jing named Wang Nuan his queen, and Liu Che (Liu She), Wang Nuan's son, was also made the prince.
