Chapter 221
We've talked about emperors for many issues, and we'll have to talk about empresses in a few more. Today, let's not talk about the virtuous empresses in history, but those who were deposed.
Emperors of all dynasties were also shocked. Although it was not the emperor who was mentioned, the mention of the empress also made them nervous. If they mentioned their own, the ministers would also have to submit memorials.
The queens stared at the sky intently, praying that they were not up there.
The first one we are talking about is Qianlong's second empress, Huifa Nara. She was removed from the imperial seal in May of the 30th year of Qianlong's reign. She died in the 31st year of Qianlong's reign and was buried according to the rites of an Imperial Noble Consort.
[It can be said that it is useless without being useless.]
But why did she end up in this situation? You have to know that she was given to Emperor Qianlong from among the concubines of Emperor Yongzheng, and she was made a concubine from the moment she entered the palace.
【And she has her own son. 】
In the 30th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, Huifa Nara accompanied Emperor Qianlong on his fourth trip to the south of the Yangtze River. In May, she suddenly cut her hair, saying she wanted to become a nun.
[This is the official answer. There are actually rumors that when Emperor Qianlong traveled south of the Yangtze River, he met a Han Chinese woman and insisted on bringing her back to the palace.]
【The Queen disagreed and finally cut her hair in protest.】
Qing Dynasty
Emperor Qianlong's face looked quite ugly. He had managed to suppress the discussions below with great difficulty, but he did not expect that the curtain would be lifted directly. After this, these ministers would definitely talk even more.
If things go wrong, they may even demand the restoration of the Queen of the Huifa Nala clan.
He threw a pastel figure bottle on the ground and asked Heshen to come over and give him some advice immediately. He must suppress this matter!
Emperor Yongzheng did not expect that the concubine he chose for his son would have such a stubborn temper. What could a Han Chinese woman do after entering the palace?
It's not up to you...
No! It seems that there was a Han Chinese woman on his son's side before, and she was very favored. If Huifa Nara had not been named queen.
Maybe my position is not as high as that person's.
If it's two against one, Huifa Nara may not be able to win.
But cutting hair is indeed wrong. The hair on your body is given by your parents, and as the queen, you cut your own hair, which is a bit like a curse on the Qing Dynasty.
It seems that we need to find another family with a good temper for Hongli.
[If you were deposed for not agreeing to the introduction of a concubine, what about taking the initiative to ask for one? Empress Wang of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty was from the Wang family of Taiyuan and was the Crown Princess during the Zhenguan period.]
However, Emperor Gaozong of Tang later became fond of Consort Xiao, and Empress Wang could no longer control her, so she asked the Emperor to bring Wu Zetian, who had become a nun at Ganye Temple, into the palace.
[Empress Wang's thoughts and methods were far superior to Empress Wu's. After only three years, she was granted the title of Zhaoyi by Emperor Gaozong. Empress Wang had no choice but to join forces with Concubine Xiao to deal with Wu Zetian.]
[However, Wu Zetian could be said to be the white moonlight of Emperor Gaozong of Tang. How could she be brought down by a few slanderous words? Later, both Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao were deposed.]
However, upon closer inspection, Queen Wang did have some issues. It was said that she had a stubborn temper, was unable to serve Li Zhi, and was unwilling to participate in the Queen's silkworm ceremony.
[For example, Queen Wang's family never saluted when entering the palace. The emperor could have asked them not to, but they had to do so. Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi was not someone who cared little about whether someone wore the dragon robe or not. He took it all to heart.]
Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty: Didn’t you say that the queen would be deposed? Why are you mentioning me? I am the most beloved queen.
The most fundamental reason was that Emperor Gaozong of Tang wanted to consolidate his power. It is said that when he was about to depose the empress, Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu Zetian personally brought ten carts of treasure to Zhangsun Wuji's home and asked him to support them.
【But Changsun Wuji refused to agree no matter what.】
Later, another powerful figure, Li Ji, spoke up, saying that deposing the empress was a family matter for the emperor and that no one else needed to be consulted. That's why Emperor Gaozong deposed Queen Wang and made Wu Zetian his empress.
[After that, the two continued to reclaim their rights.]
【Guess what happened to Zhang Sun Wuji! 】
Tang Dynasty
After looking at the sky curtain, Changsun Wuji found himself sweating all over. Li Zhi was his nephew, and Queen Wang had nothing to do with him.
So why did he help Queen Wang at that time? Was he really blinded by power?
Judging from the last sentence, it seems that my fate will not be good.
Li Shimin's face was shaking constantly. Wu Zetian became a nun in Ganye Temple, so she was definitely not an ordinary person. This must involve some secret history of the palace.
But Cheng Qian is still young, and he will definitely be able to correct his bad habits, so Li Zhi will not be able to become emperor in the future.
And there is this queen from the Wang family of Taiyuan. She cannot be chosen this time no matter what. Since she looks down on the Li family, then she can go wherever she wants.
As long as he could do well in the imperial examination, there would be more children from humble backgrounds standing in the court, and his attitude towards the aristocratic families would have to change.
I've been so nice to them!
The last person we want to talk about is Emperor Wu of Han. When he was still a child, he told his aunt Liu Piao that he wanted to marry his cousin and build her a house made of gold.
This is also the origin of the idiom "a beautiful girl hidden in a golden house."
[For this reason, Liu Piao also fully supported Liu Che to become emperor. Later, after Liu Che became emperor, he indeed made his cousin the empress.]
However, he discovered that his cousin was too arrogant, and his aunt was too proud of her achievements. She kept asking him for all kinds of jewelry. When he brought Wei Zifu back, his aunt even sent people to hunt down Wei Qing.
[Since the queen had no children, he simply found a pretext of witchcraft and deposed her.]
Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, said it didn't matter. Since Chen Ajiao could not be his helper, she certainly could not occupy the position of queen.
Plus, Liu Piao was too greedy.
He's had enough.
……
After watching the video, Qi Cheng shook his head silently. These people were not really miserable. The most miserable one should be Empress Wu of Emperor Chenghua.
She was deposed by Emperor Chenghua after only being the empress for a month.
Of course, revenge for Wan Zhen'er is one thing, and on the other hand, it is also to regain power. This Empress Wu is somewhat different from the empresses of the Ming Dynasty.
She is a person with some family background.
My father and elder brother were both military commanders in charge of the imperial guards, and my uncle was also called Marquis because of his meritorious service.
Back then, Zhu Qizhen mainly relied on eunuchs and relatives to control some power, so he arranged such a queen for his son.
But Zhu Jianshen did not rely on this.
He wants to hold power in his own hands.
The Wu family is not his confidant.
……
After looking at the blogger's blog, he realized that this was his latest issue. Qi Cheng stretched himself and saw that the weather outside was nice, so he decided to go out for a walk.
