According to the Hanwu Story, Chen's nickname was Gillian, which was later called "".
Chen is an aristocrat in the Western Han Dynasty: Wendi is her grandfather, Empress Dou is her grandmother, Jingdi is her uncle, and Emperor Wudi is her cousin and husband.
Chen Hou's father was a hereditary Tang man who died in 129 BC. The first generation of Tangyi Hou was originally a general of Chu. After Xiang Yu died, he surrendered to Liu Bang. Later, he was able to seal 600 households in Danyang, and his descendants increased to 1,800. Tangyi is in Liuhe, Jiangsu today.
Han Shu Gaozu Heroes List: Tang Yi 'an Hou Chenying, with Dongyang as the general, belongs to Chu Xiang Liang, and is the country of Chu and Zhu. At the age of four, Xiang Yu died, belonged to the Han Dynasty, and decided to gradually establish with Zhejiang, so he decided to be Wangzhuang, Hou and 600 households. Twelve years after the reunion with Wang.
Queen Chen's mother was the only half-sister of Liu Qi, an important figure in the imperial court at that time-Guan Tao princess royal Liu Pu, who died in 1 16 BC.
Chen Hou has two brothers, the eldest brother Chen Ji must inherit Tang, and the number of households is still 1,800. Gao Chen, the second brother, was the youngest son of a princess in the period of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty. It was named as Longhou, with 4 households in Historical Records126 households and 0 households in Hanshu 15000 households. Gao Chen is also the daughter of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, and all the subsequent property belongs to his wife, Princess Dragon Queen, except the country.
Dou Taihou, the grandmother of Empress Chen, was originally the concubine of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty when he replaced the king. Biography of Han consorts: "Four men were born after Wang's generation, but the queen died before Wang's generation became emperor. After Wang's generation became emperor, all four men born to the queen died of illness. Emperor Wen was established for a few months, and Gong Qing invited him to be a prince, but he was the longest, and he was established as a prince. " The lean queen in this paragraph edited by Wu Jincangjiao hasn't come out yet. As there was no son, Emperor Jingdi initially made his eldest son, Liu Rong, a prince according to the tradition of "growing up". Liu Pu wants her daughter to be the queen of the Han Dynasty, so she wants to marry her daughter to Rong. Li Ji, Liu Rong's biological mother, rudely refused. Guantao princess royal was furious and abandoned the prince's heart.
At that time, Wang Yi, the biological mother of Liu Che, the king of Jiaodong, was just an ordinary "beauty" in Jingdi's harem. However, Wang Meiren is both smart and sophisticated. As soon as he found the opportunity, he immediately bent down, tried every means to cater to and please Guantao princess royal, and fought for the Crown Prince for his son.
One day, Guan Tao princess royal held Liu Che in his arms and asked, "Do you want to marry Cher when she grows up?" Liu Che, the king of Jiaodong, said, "Yes." Then, the princess pointed to more than 100 maids around and asked Liu Che which one she wanted. Liu Che said no. Finally, the princess pointed to his daughter Chen Ajiao and asked, "What about Gillian?" Liu Che then smiled and replied, "Good! If I can marry Gillian, I will build a golden house for her to live in. " This is the origin of the idiom "A golden house hides a charming woman".
This allusion is contained in the story of Hanwu in the Han Dynasty: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was born in Yaolantang on July 7, 1996. At the age of four, he was made King of Jiaodong. When he was a few years old, Princess Royal fell to her knees and asked, "Do you want a wife?" King Jiaodong said,' I want a wife.' Master Chang refers to more than 100 people around him, all of whom are redundant. Finally, he pointed to his daughter and asked, "How is Gillian?" So he smiled and said,' Good! If Gillian is a wife, then it's a golden house. " "
Princess royal Liu Pu saw that Gillian and Liu Che were similar in age and lived in harmony since childhood, so she agreed to the marriage of the cousins Chen Ajiao and Liu Che. When they came of age, they even got married and became husband and wife. It is a marriage legend that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is a vow and marriage promise made by a man to his original wife.
The engagement was a turning point in the politics of the Han Dynasty. Because of her daughter's engagement, Liu Pu turned to fully support Liu Che, and the situation in the imperial court changed greatly. After princess royal's management, Jingdi was abolished as King Linjiang, and will be relegated to the cold palace, worrying about her death. Soon, the emperor officially canonized Wang Miao as the queen and made Liu Che the prince.
What needs to be pointed out here is that China's inheritance tradition has always been "based on the ground, based on the ground". That is to say: if the wife has a son, stand at attention to the wife's son; If a wife has no son, she is the eldest of all illegitimate children. Liu Che is the tenth prince born to concubines, neither an emperor nor a dragon. It was with the influence of his wife's family that he was able to rise to the top, from seizing the position of prince to becoming emperor.
After the death of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, he proclaimed himself emperor and made his original wife Chen the queen.
In his early days, he disagreed with his grandmother Dou Taihou's political views, and the Jianyuan New Deal even violated the vested interests of the founding faction, causing a strong rebound. Thanks to Dou Taihou's only daughter, Chen Ajiao, and the full support of Chen Jia and princess royal, Liang Wudi narrowly escaped.
At this time, as people hoped in those days, the' golden house hides the charming' is a fascinating and enviable marriage legend-the young emperor's husband and wife live in harmony and share weal and woe. After the death of Dou Taihou, the grandmother of this paragraph, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in power and finally was able to monopolize the power. It is a pity that there is no "willingness to come" after "suffering", but couples who can "share weal and woe" cannot "share wealth".
Queen Chen was born in a noble family and was spoiled since childhood. She is charming and arrogant, which is inevitable. Moreover, he was very kind to Emperor Wu and refused to cater to him. There was a rift with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. And the years passed, but there was no birth; Emperor Wu likes the new and hates the old, and loves to relax. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty loved women, had many inner pets and numerous harems. In the harem, Wei Zifu, a slave girl presented by Emperor Wu and his mother Princess Pingyang, was the first to give birth to three daughters and one son for Emperor Wu.
At this time, an unpredictable' witchcraft' case happened in the Han Palace, pointing at Empress Chen, who had been neglected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for a long time. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the brutal official Zhang Tang to investigate the case.
Witchcraft,' the art of witchcraft and ghosts' or' the art of witchcraft and curses (curses)', specifically including curses, shooting my puppet (I hate winning) and poisonous methods. , from ancient folk beliefs, used to harm the enemy. At that time, people thought that it would be a disaster for the cursed to let wizards, priests and others bury puppets in the ground and then curse those who complained. Because the ancients were superstitious and believed in the power of witchcraft.
Witchcraft has been a taboo in the court since ancient times; Because of the simple operation, the suspect can't defend himself at all, which has always been an excellent trick to plant and frame his opponent. Throughout the history of China for thousands of years, countless empresses, courtiers, princes and princesses died unjustly in these two words.
In the fifth year of Yuanguang, 27-year-old Liu Che made an imperial edict on the charge of witchcraft: "The queen is insane and confused by witchcraft, so she can't accept her fate. It has a seal on it and retires to Nagato Palace. " Since then, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has kept Empress Chen in the palace; The cost of food and clothing is still queen level, and the treatment remains unchanged.
At this point, the golden house collapsed, and' grace' and' affection' were both negative. With the contemporary "phoenix begging for phoenix" and the later "childhood friends", "golden house hiding jiao" has become a cold joke about "promise" and "breach of trust", "love" and "marriage".
Empress Chen died a few years later, and finally she was buried with her mother Tao big princess and Liu Pu next to Dou Taihou Mausoleum, the Baling of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, Chen Ajiao was finally buried with his mother, grandmother and grandfather who really loved him, instead of being buried in the princess garden with other concubines in humiliation.
The story of "the golden house hides the charming" is completely over. What is left to people is a long sigh, and what is left to history is endless regret and distant echo. The poem "You can't see Gillian, and there is no north or south in life" has been passed down to this day with the story of "Golden House hides Jiao", which has entrusted countless future generations with full understanding and infinite sympathy for this beautiful and noble queen. Witchcraft Fog Editor: In this paragraph, Queen Chen loses her position and is facing a crime of witchcraft. However, after Chen's "witchcraft", later generations thought that the scrutiny was full of flaws and was generally incredible.
There is a saying that the real reason why Liang Wudi abolished the emperor was to "prevent consorts".
In the whole political structure of Han Dynasty, consorts always played an important role. Among the consorts, people living in the inner palace are close to the favorite concubine, or transferred to the court, or in the army; Gather great wealth, connections and power. The monarch is strong, and the consorts are the right-hand man of the emperor; But as long as a little careless, consorts will erode the imperial power and become the danger of changing owners.
Throughout the Western Han Dynasty, there was a "Zhulv Rebellion" in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which was finally directly eliminated by Wang Mang's consorts. Therefore, any clear-headed emperor will be prepared for his consorts.
On the other hand, even personally, "consorts" have always been an indelible haze lingering in Liu Che's mind. As long as you know Liu Che carefully, you will find that the emperor has been mediating and struggling with his consorts from beginning to end.
Liu Che won the throne because of his consorts (wife Chen Ajiao, aunt and mother-in-law Guantao princess royal and Tang Chenfu), but almost lost the throne because of his consorts (grandmother, Dou Taihou and family). Finally, it was because of the compassion of my consorts that I saved the throne. For a young emperor with lofty aspirations and fierce heart, such an experience is definitely an unforgettable shame.
Liang Wudi used and strangled his consorts all his life. It is understandable that checks and balances, suppression, framing, differentiation, pruning and other means are used in turn.
In the early days of his rule, Emperor Wu succumbed to the influence of his consorts (grandmother, Dou Taihou and Dou Shi Group);
In the early stage, they alienated and resisted their consorts' interference in politics (mainly: their mother, queen mother and uncle Tian Fen and Dou family);
In the middle and later period, suppress, divide and balance the military forces of consorts (Wei Zifu Wei Qing family group, Huo Qubing group and Li Furen Li Guangli family);
In the later period, in order to avoid the mother-in-law's interference with the next emperor, the precedent of "killing the mother at the beginning" was set-directly killing Mrs. Gou Jian, the biological mother of Emperor Zhao.
Emperor Xian of Han, who won all the way from the imperial court battle in the harem, deeply realized the difficulty and fierceness of consorts. Therefore, when Liu Che gained real power, the wealth of the Chen family immediately changed from the advantages of Queen Chen to her unforgivable mistakes.
In order to unify the imperial power and prevent the Chen family from becoming another force in the ruling and opposition after the Dou family, it is completely logical for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to deprive Chen of her post to attack Chen.
