Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hid Chen Ajiao in the Golden Temple. Are they really in love?

The most enviable story between Han and Wu is "The Golden House hides the charming". Chen Ajiao is the daughter of Liu Pu, the aunt of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. According to what we say now, he should be regarded as the cousin of Emperor Liu Che. When Liu Che was a child, Liu Che was not a prince, but a king in Jiaodong.

The princess asked young Liu Che, "Do you want a wife when you grow up?" Liu Che agreed, and the princess pointed to the maids around and asked Liu Che what she wanted. Liu Che refused, and the princess asked Liu Che, "Will you marry Gillian?" ? Liu Che said, "If I can marry Gillian, I will build a golden house for her." Liu Pu was very happy at Liu Che's words, so he begged Jingdi to agree to the marriage. After Liu Che was established as a prince, he also kept his promise and married Chen Ajiao as the crown princess.

Liu Che married Gillian when he was a prince.

This story looks beautiful, childhood friends, not speculation. But is this really the case? The answer is no. Liu Che, who was only four or five years old at that time, knew nothing about love. All he knows is that he and his mother need aunt's help. So he must have his period. According to records, Liu Pu did not intend to marry Gillian at first, but wanted to marry Gillian to Rong at that time. But Liu Rong's mother Li Ji refused, so she fell out with Liu Pu.

Is there true love between Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty and his wife?

At this time, Mrs. Wang, who was not very proud in the harem of Beijing, saw this opportunity. This Mrs. Wang is her mother. Although Mrs. Wang is not very popular, her son Liu Che is deeply loved by King Jing. She was made King of Jiaodong at the age of four, but this was not what Mrs. Wang wanted. Although the title of King Jiaodong was very high, when the new emperor ascended the throne, she and her son Liu Che were about to leave the imperial city for fiefs, and they had to go to Beijing for life. In particular, Wang Po knew how cruel the struggle between the royal families was, and Li Ji, the prince's mother, was very jealous. If Jingdi dies, she and her son Liu Che may not live long. It happened that Li Ji rejected the royal princess who had a great influence on the court and the royal family. For Mrs. Wang, this is a golden opportunity.

For Liu Pu, who is eager to make political investment, Mrs. Wang and her son are just a good choice. Mrs. Wang was born in poverty, and her mother and son were helpless in court, which was exactly what they needed. So the two ambitious mothers hit it off immediately, and there was a drama of "Golden House hides a charming woman". At first, Emperor Han Jing disagreed with Gillian's marriage with Liu Che, because he knew how influential his sister Liu Pu was in the royal family and court. If he agrees to this marriage, it means that Liu Che will definitely threaten the prince in the future. However, with the continuous death of the prince's mother and the United front with Mrs. Wang, the emperor had to agree to this marriage. Shortly after the incident, under the joint action of Mrs. Wang, the prince fell out of favor and was abolished. In the same year, the king was the queen, and the king of Jiaodong was changed to the prince.

After Liu Che was established as a prince, she married Gillian and became a crown princess.

If it is just such a pleasant political transaction, Liu Che and Chen Ajiao may fall in love for a long time, or they may really have love. However, one thing after Liu Che acceded to the throne completely exposed their relationship. According to records, after Liu Che ascended the throne in Liu Che, Princess Liu Pu often asked him for money, while Chen Ajiao was extremely arrogant to Liu Che, which made Liu Che very unhappy. At this time, the Queen Mother in Historical Records, that is, the original Mrs. Wang, said this sentence:

Your new accession to the throne, the minister did not serve, first for the court, the queen mother has been angry If you think about the Lord again today, you will be offended. Women are naturally cute, so be careful!

What does this mean? In other words, as soon as you acceded to the throne, our mother and I had no support in this court. The queen mother doesn't like us again. If you offend princess royal again today, you will be pregnant. Women are easy to coax, so you should be careful. After listening to his mother's words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to please the Crown Princess and Chen Ajiao.

After Emperor Wu ascended the throne, Chen Ajiao became the queen.

It can be seen from this sentence that neither Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nor his mother Wang Yi loved Chen Ajiao. Otherwise, when Wang Yi persuaded his son, he wouldn't talk about friendship and the help of husband and wife. He would only say that we NianLia couldn't afford to offend others.

As we all know, unequal love or marriage will never have a good result. In fact, after stabilizing his political affairs, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to give up Chen Ajiao. After I got Wei Zifu, I didn't even bother to look at Chen Ajiao. Soon, Chen Ajiao was abolished because of the curse of witchcraft.

Chen Ajiao lived in Nagato Palace after being abandoned.

At that time, Chen Ajiao finally stopped being arrogant. Even her mother, the imperial concubine, no longer asked for anything from Emperor Wu, but begged Emperor Wu to spare her daughter. And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also agreed to Liu Biao, only canceling Gillian's status as queen and not reducing Gillian's treatment, but moving to Nagato Palace and no longer wanting to see her. Later, in a conversation with Princess Pingyang, Liu Pu said that when the emperor was a prince, I made great contributions. Why did he abolish Gillian? Princess Pingyang said Gillian had no children. This reason has nothing to do with the previous spelling, but it is also far-fetched. You know, Gillian has been married to Liu Che for many years and has no children. Sooner or later, she won't waste it. Why did she wait until Liu Che's condition was stable before going to court? What's more, in the Han dynasty, it was not a big problem for the queen to have no children. As long as other concubines are the adopted sons of the queen, why abolish the queen? To put it bluntly, I still don't like it

However, after Gillian was abolished, she got rid of her arrogant habit, and even once asked Sima Xiangru to make a "Changmen Fu" for Emperor Wu, begging to return to him again. Later, in the preface of "Changmen Fu", it was said that Emperor Wu favored Chen Ajiao again because of this fu, but in fact, Chen Ajiao was finally depressed in Nagato Palace. It can be seen that the preface to Changmen Fu says "I'm glad to be back" just to say goodbye. Perhaps in this political transaction between Liu Pu and Wang Yi, Emperor Wu's heart was clear from beginning to end. Wang Yi wants to be the empress dowager, and Liu Pu enjoys it. Gillian may be the only one who is really injured.

It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not a prince at the beginning, but his younger brother Liu Rong was a prince. Liu Che was able to replace Liu Rong as a prince because of the help of Princess Jing's sister. So, why did the princess help Liu Che?

Historical Story: The Allusions of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "Golden House Hides Beauty"

Originally, princess royal wanted to marry her daughter to Rong, so that her daughter could become a queen in the future. But the prince's mother, Li Ji, was ungrateful, so the princess turned her attention to Liu Che. Once, she asked Liu Che if she would marry Gillian. Liu Che likes Gillian very much. When my aunt asked, she generously said, "If I can marry Gillian in the future, I will build a golden house for her myself."

("If you get Gillian, you must keep it in the golden house." ) The princess told the story to Emperor Han Jing and proposed to him. Seeing that his son was so charming, Han Jing agreed to the marriage, and later changed Liu Che into a prince. After Liu Che acceded to the throne, Chen Ajiao really became the master of the harem.

But things didn't end so well. I have only been a queen for more than ten years, and I like the new and hate the old. I abolished Queen Chen and let her live in a deserted palace. It is said that after Chen Ajiao fell out of favor, he heard that Liu Che liked to read the poems and songs of the famous scholar Sima Xiangru, and wanted to ask his confidant to send a gift and ask him to write an article to represent his tragic situation; Sima Xiangru out of sympathy.

The "Long Gate Fu" she wrote for her describes a beautiful woman who spent her life in the south of the city (that is, Nagato Palace) because of her relegation: "The soul does not die alone, but her heart is rebellious and she lives alone"; "Looking at dusk, the empty hall is melancholy"; "Hang the bright moon to look at yourself, the bridal chamber is bright at night" ... This work describes the sadness and grief of a lonely queen living in a cold palace in a euphemistic and moving way. Liu Che was very moved after reading it. Chen Ajiao got Liu Che's good fortune again, but it didn't last long. She eventually died of depression at Nagato Palace.

Although Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was a "wise man", his desire to "hide in the golden palace" and then go to hell exposed the dark side of his character.
