The three female emperors are as follows:
In 528, the Northern Wei Dynasty named Yuan Girls as Wutai.
In 653, Chen Shuozhen claimed to be Emperor Wenjia.
690-705 Wu Zetian
In fact, there were many female rulers in ancient China, such as Lv Hou in the Han Dynasty and Cixi in the Qing Dynasty, but all of them were "in politics" and had no fame. The only one who dares to play the "emperor" sign is Wu Zetian who moved from the harem to the throne. This is a veritable female emperor. But there are also two "female emperors" who have the title of emperor, but one is a puppet and the other is an abnormal channel. Since they are famous and women, we cannot deny that they are "female emperors"! So there were three female emperors in ancient China!
Of course, Wu Zetian ascended the throne through normal channels. The puppet emperor was Miss Yuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and another was Chen Shuozhen, the leader of the peasant uprising.
Look up Book of Wei, Volume 9, Emperor Ji, Ninth, "In the first month of the first year of Wutai, Guihai, ... Miss Huang, the secret language of the prince. Bing Yin, pardon the world and change Yuan. " Do girls want to be emperors as boys, not to mention "women disguised as men" mentioned in many historical materials, and she is a child herself. If you put her in the "dragon position", can she distinguish between "male and female"? The director of this play is her grandmother Hu Taihou. So in essence, Hu Taihou was in power, and after her husband's death, she continued to manipulate her son and granddaughter. Miss Yuan is just a pawn in Hu Taihou's hand.
Hu gave birth to an only son named. After Xuan Wudi's death, Xu Yuan, who was only four years old, became emperor in order to be filial to his parents. Hu's mother is honored as the queen mother because of her son, and she can listen to politics because of her filial piety. Hu Taihou's arbitrariness in politics made people miserable, but his life was very promiscuous, which aroused the dissatisfaction of courtiers and, of course, Ming Chengzu.
So the contradiction between mother and child intensified. In February of the second year of Emperor Xiaoming (AD 528), Hu Taihou poisoned Emperor Xiaoming. After Emperor Xiaoming died, Hu Taihou pretended her newborn daughter as a prince and made her emperor. A few days later, she established a 3-year-old Yuan Zhaodi. /kloc-in April of 0/3, Chihu Tusi Er Zhurong took revenge for Emperor Xiaoming as an excuse to invade Luoyang, killing more than 2,000 people, including Hu Taihou, Yuan Zhao and his ministers, and took control of the state affairs.
Thus, this so-called "Yuan Girl" did not really ascend to the throne, and even left no name in history, so it is not accurate to call Yuan Girl the first female emperor in China history. But looking back at this period of history, it is still very meaningful for us to further realize the cruelty of the court struggle.
The second female emperor was Chen Shuozhen, the leader of the peasant uprising in Tang Gaozong period.
Everyone in the world said that there was a peasant uprising in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and it was this heroine, Chen Shuozhen. "New Tang Book, Old Tang Book, Twenty-five History" is very short for Chen Shuozhen:
The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty, the fourth highest emperor in this period, said: Geng Zi in winter and October, worshipping Xinfeng to warm soup. , qu,. Second, heat the soup. Wushen, a woman from Zhoumu, Chen Shuozhen mobilized troops to rebel, calling herself Emperor Wen Jia, and captured Zhoumu County. Cui, the secretariat of Wuzhou, and Yangzhou, the secretariat of Yangzhou, each led the discussion.
The Book of the New Tang Dynasty was written by women Wu Shen, Chen Shuozhen and Wuzhou secretariat Cui. 1 1 month Geng Xu, Chen Shuozhen and Zhu Fu.
Chen Shuozhen, also known as Chen Shuozhen, is an outstanding woman in Qingxi County, Zhou Mu (now Chun 'an, Zhejiang). In the fourth year of Yonghui in Tang Gaozong (AD 653), he led the uprising and called himself "Emperor Wenjia". Although she was finally suppressed, due to her pioneering achievements, modern historian Jane Bozan called her "the first female emperor of China".
In 653 10, Chen Shuozhen officially declared an uprising against the government. Imitating the official system of the Tang Dynasty, she appointed Zhang as a servant in charge of all affairs, and she herself was called "Emperor Wenjia". In the history of China, countless women participated in the peasant uprising, but few women served as leaders. Chen Shuozhen was the only woman who served as a leader and was called the emperor. From this point of view, she is braver than many male peasant leaders.
After Chen Shuozhen launched the uprising, he won wide support from the local people, and Jiang Bao, a native of Qingxi, led the public to respond. In a short time, the rebels have grown to tens of thousands. The ruler was very upset and eager to destroy it. Their first reaction was to block the uprising area, limit its development and control the population flowing into the rebels. Even the monks were spared and questioned.
In order to open up the situation and develop strength, Chen Shuozhen commanded the rebels to conquer Tonglu, Yuqian (now southeast of Changhua, Zhejiang) and other counties in Zhou Mu. Then, Chen Shuozhen invaded today's Anhui and attacked Zhangzhou. Due to Tang Jun's stubborn resistance, the rebel army was frustrated and withdrew from the battle. Chen Shuozhen's intention of marching into Anhui failed to come true.
After Chen Shuozhen withdrew from Zhangzhou, he adjusted his strategy, changed from concentrated attack to divided attack, and adopted a combination of mobile warfare and offensive warfare to crack down on old friends and expand his sphere of influence. Under this policy, Chen Shuozhen ordered General Tong Wenbao to attack Wuzhou (now Jinhua, Zhejiang) with 4000 troops. After Tong Wenbao led his troops into Wuzhou, he was discovered by officers and men. Seeing that the attack was overwhelming, Tong Wenbao changed his tactics and pushed hard.
At this time, Cui served as the secretariat of Wuzhou. This person is also an active person who is unwilling to be lonely. He went to Shi Biao first, but was not reused, so he went to Tang gaozu instead. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he became an official and went to Wuzhou for secretariat. Cui Yi heard the alarm in the city and immediately called a civilian military commander to send troops to resist. However, the officials were awed by the prestige of the insurgents, and said in succession: "Chen Shuozhen is guarded by magic soldiers. Anyone who dares to confront his soldiers will be killed. It is better to avoid it." Most people don't want to go.
At this time, a man named Cui joined the army, but he said, "Sometimes, when you start to conform to the will of the people, you still can't succeed." Chen Shuozhen is just a woman with a little magic and won't last long. " Cui was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately appointed Cui as a pioneer officer to lead the soldiers to follow up. The rebels were stopped by Cui's team.
Chen Shuozhen Wen Zhitong Wen Bao was blocked in Wuzhou and led the main force to Wuzhou to participate in the war. Thousands of rebels took part in the war. Although the rebels are superior in number, the uprising has only been 1 month. These soldiers are untrained and their fighting capacity is limited. In the past, they were able to rely on prestige and hard work to enter the Zhou Ke government. Although they have prestige and car-scrapping, they are at a loss in the face of well-trained officers and men who dare to fight hard, especially this kind of anti-Japanese war that the rebels have never experienced. The stalemate in Wuzhou has put great pressure on the commanders and fighters of both sides, and they are both looking for ways to defeat each other.
In order to change the unfavorable conditions such as fighting against the ground and unfamiliar with the enemy, Chen Shuozhen constantly sent spies to spy on the enemy. At one time, only dozens of spies were captured by Tang Bing, which may have been exaggerated by the enemy, but according to common sense, tens of thousands of rebels used more spies.
In order to defeat the insurgents as soon as possible, Cui mainly took two measures, one was to send people to neighboring States to move reinforcements, and the other was to stabilize the morale of the army. One night, Cui told his men that he had just seen a star connected to the enemy camp. He asserted that he would win, while the other side would actually perish. This is just a story made up by Cui to boost the morale of the army, but this story can touch people in ancient times. At that time, people believed that there was a man and a star in the sky, so Cui Yi Xuan took pains to say so.
At the end of 653 1 1, Yangzhou secretariat led troops to Wuzhou to join hands with Cui to crusade against the rebels. It is difficult to know how Chen Shuozhen commanded the rebel resistance because of the lack of historical materials, but judging from the outcome of the battle, the battle should be quite fierce. Tens of thousands of rebels who took part in the war, except for more than 65438+100000, were mostly killed, and tens of thousands of people fought with their lives. The scene is undoubtedly thrilling. "Emperor Wenjia" Chen Shuozhen and his servant Zhang were captured in the battle and finally died heroically.
Chen Shuozhen's official career ended in Wuzhou, but in his hometown Qingxi, he left the remains of "Tianzi Collection" and "Wannian Building", which inspired Fang La at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. The brave Chen Shuozhen added luster to the women in China and wrote a dazzling chapter for the peasant revolution in China.
A strange girl in the south of the Yangtze River, the history records that the uprising failed, was tortured, and the ending was extremely tragic! The uprising of Chen Shuozhen took place in October of the fourth year of Tang Yonghui (653), when Wu Zetian was 30 years old. Two years later, she was made queen and proclaimed emperor in 690.
The real female emperor is Wu Zetian. It is an indisputable fact that she is the only female emperor in Chinese history. As for the other two, you just know. I only know that before Wu Zetian, some people once had the title of emperor. )
Wu Zetian, a name with historical charm, is a legendary historical figure rather than a legend. She is the second daughter of the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, the concubine of Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong, and the queen of Li Zhi of Tang Gaozong. She assisted Emperor Gaozong in handling military affairs. After managing state affairs for 30 years, she ascended the throne and claimed to be the emperor of the Holy Spirit. She abolished Tang and changed her name to Zhou, becoming the only queen in the history of China. From her participation in the political affairs, claiming to be the emperor, to her serious illness and moving to Yang Palace, she was in power for nearly half a century, inheriting the "Zhenguan rule" and opening up the "Kaiyuan Shi Sheng", whose historical achievements are well known to the world. As Soong Ching Ling sincerely commented on her, Wu Zetian was "an outstanding female politician in feudal times".
