Liang Nan, queen of Shun Di in Han Dynasty, experienced four dynasties: Shun Di, Emperor, Re-Emperor and Re-Emperor, but the final outcome was completely unexpected.
Served Shun Di for 16 years.
In 125, Wang Liubao of Jiyang ascended the throne of the emperor with the support of a eunuch of 1 1 year old. Although there is no queen mother facing North Korea, the situation that eunuchs are in power has been formed.
In 128, that is, for three years, Liu Bao, who had been emperor for three years, was ordered to choose a good virgin between the ages of thirteen and twenty as a harem. The requirement is clear: beautiful and auspicious.
Liang's daughter, Liang Na, and her sister, aunt and nephew entered the palace to stand for election at the same time. They are all beautiful, especially Liang Na, who looks more lovely and dignified. When Mao Tong, the steward, saw it, he quickly said to Liu Bao, "It's too expensive to look at the moon from the perspective of the sun. I have never seen it. " In this way, Liang Na and his aunt were successfully elected. Liu Bao was satisfied with both of them, and soon he was promoted to nobility at the same time. Although this is a mess, the royal family doesn't care much about this code, so my aunt and niece are dedicated to Emperor Liu Bao.
However, both of them are surnamed Liang and belong to the same family. They look a little alike, so many people are easily confused in the palace. So when I was an aunt, I was still called "Liang Guiren", and when I was a niece, I changed Liang Nan to "Liang Xiaogui". Although Liang Xiaogui is young, he grew up in an educated family. She is very clever. When she was nine years old, she could recite the Analects of Confucius and speak Korean poetry. She often keeps photos of ancient virtuous women around her and gives herself some advice.
In fact, Liang Xiaogui was especially favored by Shundi and Liu Bao. After entering the palace, he was often blessed by Shun Di. For a time, Shun Di didn't even take care of other concubines, just pampered. Although Shun Di didn't refuse, Liang Xiaogui was very unhappy because she clearly saw the envy and even hatred in the eyes of other concubines.
Although Liang Xiaogui is very young, she is very smart, and she doesn't want such a situation, because the emperor's love for a person is only short-lived and can't last a lifetime. Then in the complicated interpersonal relationship in court, enemies will be made sooner or later, and the final result is often to fight with each other and develop into conflicts. Liang Xiaogui and Shun Di are teenagers, but Liang Xiaogui seems to know people better. She once said in front of Shun Di: "If the empresses don't envy each other, there will be many descendants of the emperor, and the country will be prosperous, peaceful and peaceful forever, that would be great!" I advise your majesty to treat everyone equally, and I can avoid slander. "This makes Shun Di very happy.
You know, concubines want to enjoy themselves and even occupy the emperor's life. They often criticize other concubines in front of the emperor and try their best to satisfy him. They even hope that other concubines will not have children. They will enjoy their offspring and continue to have children. They will always be honored as queens and queens. Let the emperor wait for his concubine, which means that other concubines may have children before themselves! At that time, Shun Di had no son, and he might lose the chance to become a queen!
So Liang Xiaogui was deeply moved by his words, because the emperor's heart was full of flowers. The reason why he needs a group of concubines is that he hopes that there will be many descendants and the country will last forever. Liang Xiaogui's words made the emperor understand his generosity and character and gave him a high evaluation from the moral aspect. Although Shun Di "listened" to Liang Xiaogui's advice, he began to feel lucky for other concubines and her. But for Liang Xiaogui, Shun Di's heart is full of gratitude and appreciation.
Four years later, ministers went to Shu, hoping that Shun Di could become a queen, rule the world and put the country on the right track. There were several sons at that time, but his luckiest sons, Liang Xiaogui and Liang Na, were not pregnant, which was a very painful thing for Liang.
In feudal society, especially in the palace, it has become a custom that a mother is more precious than a son, and no concubine wants to be childless. "There are three kinds of unfilial, and the last one is the biggest." . This "Hou" does not refer to children in general, but to sons in particular. Besides, Liang Nan doesn't even have a daughter. More importantly, she is not pregnant.
In fact, Shun Di can choose a queen from the concubines who gave birth to his son. However, 14-year-old Shun Di is still an ignorant boy, and his understanding of women is still immature. He is not sure who the queen is, and the eunuch in power doesn't care. Shun Di had no choice but to choose a queen from four nobles by drawing lots.
As a result of winning the lottery, Liang Na and Liang Xiaogui of Shun Di won the lottery. Shun Di is very satisfied with the result, because he likes Liang Nan very much. In the courtiers' view, it was an act of god.
In this way, 17-year-old Liang Nan entered the harem, ended his aristocratic life and began to dominate the world. Liang Xiaogui became a queen for two reasons. First of all, it is said that the queen was decided by lot, which is almost unique in the history of China; Second, Liang Nan is three years older than Shun Di, which is also rare in China.
After becoming a queen, the clever Liang Nan is more cautious in words and deeds. She served Shun Di first, then contacted the concubines, and paid attention to maintaining good interpersonal relationships with other ladies-in-waiting. When she was a nobleman, she didn't want to be loved by the emperor. It is very rare for her to do so after she became queen. Of course, how could she not want to be a mother? It is even more difficult for Liang to leave a son and a half, which is the biggest misfortune since she entered the palace.
By convention, Liang Nan became a queen, and his father Liang Shang was made a family by Shun Di and got a car. Eldest brother Liang Ji was promoted to captain of infantry, and other relatives were promoted to officers.
In the history of Han Dynasty, consorts had too much autocratic power, which attracted the attention of courtiers in Shun Di. One by one, they went to Shun Di, saying that they could bring good luck to Queen A Liang, but they could not give real power, because it could prevent the tyranny of their relatives, and Shun Di was unwilling to accept it.
/kloc-After Shundi came to power in 0/34, Liang Jia was still in Jinfeng. This year, Liang Shang was awarded the rank of general, and the prime minister went to court, but Liang Jiali was very smart, and Liang Shang said that he would not get sick.
Shun Di doesn't agree that Liang Shang is so polite. He sent letters again and again, and finally invited Liang Shang to be a general.
After Liang came to power, he was very modest and concerned about people's sufferings. Whenever there was a famine, he ordered his slaves to bring food to help the victims, so he was deeply loved by the people. Even the ministers who opposed the authorization in the early days treated him equally and gradually made them realize the nobility of Liang's family.
Besides, Queen Liang still maintains her modest style and never lavishes herself. Although she has no children, she is particularly concerned about the children born to Shun Di's concubines. She often tells her children about her education and treats them as her own. When encountering weather phenomena such as solar eclipse, she always reflects on her behavior, instead of killing people with knives, oppressing court officials and excluding dissidents like many queens.
Besides, Queen Liang is very filial. 14 1 year, her father Liang Shang died. She personally observed a moment of silence for her father and gave a special performance. You know, when a daughter is a queen in the palace, she usually doesn't give a funeral to her father or family. First of all, out of courtesy, because the queen is the mother of the world, it can be said that the emperor is under one person and above ten thousand people; Secondly, many queens are unwilling to participate in their mothers' family affairs, as some people say, "Married girls will splash water". It can be said that Queen Liang and her father Liang Shang won the honor for Liang Jia.
However, the Queen's brother Liang Ji did many bad things behind her father's back and her sister's back. He idles around all day, gets drunk, plays football, plays chess, fights cocks, walks and does nothing. Treat others with malice, and those who oppose him will die.
Out of respect for Queen Liang and General Liang, he appointed his successor as general before he was buried in the grave. In fact, this is a mistake. Liang Ji's ability and political integrity are not enough to undertake such a heavy responsibility. In the end, the Han dynasty paid a heavy price for it, which is another matter.
He also sealed He Nanyin, the younger brother of Empress Dowager Liang, and took the initiative to hand over the North Korean regime to Liang Jia.
Only three years later, in August of his first year of health, Shun Di died of illness at the age of 30. He reigned for nineteen years.
Queen Liang doesn't know how big her home is.
Liang served for sixteen years and had no children. Now that Shun Di has left, what will she do? What about the court?
In fact, when the North Korean regime was handed over to Liang Jia, there was a conflict of interest between Liang Jia and the eunuch, but things did not expand. The main reason is that the eunuchs saw their dependence and trust on Liang's family, so they didn't take drastic measures to solve the contradiction. Queen Liang and her father can restrain themselves, but eunuchs really can't. Their strength or spearhead is mainly concentrated on Liang Ji, the younger brother of the Queen, because he has the most shortcomings and braids, but Shun Emperor's attitude plays a decisive role.
Shortly after Shun Di's death, Liang's family wanted Liu Bing, a noble child, to inherit the throne, because Liu Bing was only two years old, and he could cultivate his feelings with Liang's family through education. Besides, Yu Mei is gentle and easy to control.
Liu's handle is the emperor. Liang and Bai Weiling, the mother of Emperor Chongzhen, are called the Empress Dowager. However, because the family did not have any power in the imperial court, the imperial power was still in Liang's hands, which led to the exclusion of power. Later, there was an argument in court about the inheritance rights of Yu Meiren and his family. This is another story.
After Queen Mother Liang came to power, she issued the first imperial edict and appointed Zhao Jun as a teacher. They deal with political affairs with Liang Ji, the younger brother of the Queen Mother.
Zhao Jun is very talented and enjoys a high reputation in the imperial court. Coulee is not far from Wan Li, and Wan Li studied with his master. He is an honest official and a famous minister. It should be said that Zhao Jun and other famous officials were all appointed by Queen Liang, which shows that Queen Liang is above everything else. More importantly, it is wise for them to use * * *, which is a symbol of safety for Queen Liang. In fact, Queen Liang also knows that her ability and moral character are not enough to convince the public, so this combination shows her political strategy.
Queen Liang's second imperial edict is to recruit three officials to recommend wise men and ask the way to govern the country for the people. This imperial edict is also wise.
Four months later, in the first month of A.D. 145, the little emperor Liu Bingyi was critically ill. Seeing this situation, the general looked for the heir to the throne without consulting with Queen Liang and Zhao. He took a fancy to the eight-year-old son of Bohai King and secretly took him to Luoyang, the capital of the people. He was ready to die and immediately made Liu Zuan emperor.
Soon, despite the doctor's unremitting efforts, Chongdi's life was hopeless. Empress Liang was worried that the peasant rebels in Yangzhou and Xuzhou would take the opportunity to attack the Han Dynasty and did not intend to report the funeral. She sent someone to discuss with Zhao Jun and Gu Li. Empress Liang decided not to announce the death of Emperor Chongzhen until the heir to the throne was determined. However, Gu Li believes that although Emperor Chong is young, he is also an emperor and should not hide his death. Empress Liang still had serious dependence, so she agreed to this suggestion and announced the death of Emperor Chong.
After the announcement, the court discussed it from top to bottom. Some people say it was killed, others say it was bad luck in the Han Dynasty. Fortunately, it didn't cause much sensation. However, opinions began to diverge on the choice of the new emperor. As mentioned above, I am very interested in Liu's eight-year-old son in Bohai, and some people think that Wang Annian in Qinghe is nearly twenty years old and can govern the dynasty by himself. It is a wise choice to appoint him.
Ascending to the throne evolved into a family power, or Liu's descendants directly took power. This issue is very complicated, because according to the law, handing over North Korea's power to Liu, who is nearly 20 years old, is actually asking Liang Jia to hand over power, which is only one aspect of the matter. In other words, it is also a question mark whether it is wise to hand over the court to a child who has no ruling experience but doesn't know Liu Zuan's ability and keeps harassing the peasant rebels.
Empress Liang has always trusted Zhao Jun, but the idea of handing over power to Empress Liang disappointed her. However, her brother Liang Ji's behavior did not satisfy her, because before everyone discussed this matter, Liang Ji decided the heir to the throne without authorization. On the one hand, it violated the regulations and broke the pattern of Zhao Jun and assisting Queen Liang. More importantly, there is no Queen Mother Liang in his eyes. Everything at home and abroad makes Queen Liang unhappy.
After Liang Ji apologized to Empress Liang, Empress Liang tended to establish Liu Zuan. After all, power is tempting. Eight-year-old children can also ensure that Empress Liang is in power without losing power. At this time, the clever Coulee did a stupid thing. Queen Liang sent someone to call her into the palace, trying to persuade him to give up Liu garlic and come forward, but she refused her imperial edict with a mentality of "neither white nor white". He felt that Queen Liang had too much power to talk about. This attitude disappointed Queen Liang again, and she couldn't understand the psychology at this time. At the same time, it also strengthened her idea that "outsiders cannot be trusted and rely on father and son". Empress Liang decided to put family interests first and stand on her own feet as emperor.
In A.D. 145, the court told the world that Liu Zuan was the emperor and who was the emperor's quality. The title is the beginning of a year. Empress Liang is still the empress dowager, ruling the surrounding dynasties, but still a general. Thus, among countless young emperors in the Han Dynasty, there was an eight-year-old emperor, Liu Zuan.
Queen Liang became emperor, because she was absent-minded in autumn and her power was no longer restricted. Liang Ji is an arrogant person, without any restrictions, he becomes even more arrogant. His behavior caused dissatisfaction among some ministers. Under the leadership of Ms. Liang, officials went to look for Empress Liang, hoping that she could take good care of her, but there was no reply. The contradiction between the minister and the queen mother deepened.
An emergency took the life of the little emperor Liu Zuan.
On one occasion, Liang Ji was overbearing in court and cursed the minister for a trivial matter. At first, the little emperor Liu Zuan was just a bystander, which was none of his business. However, an eight-year-old child must be able to speak. Without warning, he suddenly said to Liang Ji in front of Manchu Wu Wen: "You are so arrogant, you are a general!"
Liang Ji didn't say anything at that time. He reprimanded the little emperor immediately after he retired from the DPRK. But I didn't expect the little emperor to be so gentle that he couldn't read Liang Ji's mind like an adult. On the contrary, he thinks Liang Ji is very harsh.
Liang Ji was very disappointed with the little emperor because he helped himself and offended many ministers. At the same time, he felt a little scared because the child was only eight years old. Will he have good results in Ji Liang as an adult? no
Liang Ji is determined to kill the little emperor and create another person. Instead of consulting with Queen Liang, he privately decided to consult with eunuchs, mixed poison in the pie and gave it to the emperor. Zhidi ate poisonous cakes and died of poisoning. The nine-year-old emperor said from his heart that he was dead.
Have the right to appoint emperors and provide funerals [/s2/]
Liang Ji, the tyrannical general in charge of political affairs, killed the little emperor. However, Liang and others did not change Liu Jiangshan's spirit. At this time of the Han dynasty, even if the emperor was a puppet, there must be one. After the death of Emperor Zhi, in order to establish a new emperor as soon as possible, he consulted with Queen Liang.
After discussion, they finally chose Zhang Han's great-grandson Herry Liu. Herry Liu 15 years old, born into a royal family. Most importantly, he is the brother-in-law of brother and sister Liang, but in fact he is still a "waste".
However, when Queen Liang confessed to their ministers, something they didn't expect happened. Qiu and other ministers advocated that Wang garlic should be an emperor with both ability and political integrity.
Queen Liang He plays.
A few days later, Ji Liang met again as a minister. He spoke fiercely, tried his best to suppress the people, and expressed his attitude of not letting Herry Liu stand up. Many ministers, including Hu Guang and others, gave in when they saw this terrible situation. Only those "stubborn" people at that time insisted that Liu Wei should be the garlic emperor. No matter how Liang Ji threatened to seduce him, "I was lonely." Liang Ji was at a loss and went to see Empress Liang angrily.
Of course, Queen Liang's elbow can't be everted. Later, Queen Liang was removed from her official position.
Under the care of Liang Jia, he ascended the throne. Empress Liang still took the medicine according to the prescription and came to the court again to hear the case. Liang Ji is still in power. The so-called "the emperor is changeable and the country remains unchanged."
At that time, internal and external troubles appeared together. There are also Liang Ji who take bribes and bend the law, selling officials and collecting money; A peasant uprising broke out outside.
The queen mother beam naturally dare not neglect. She has nothing to do with her family Liang Ji, but she must take tough measures against the peasant rebels. Of course, Queen Liang is also very strategic. When suppressing the peasant uprising, she did not forget to adopt the policy of appeasement. She issued several imperial edicts in succession, or pardoned prisoners, or helped victims, or attached great importance to ministers.
But can all this be reversed? Although these measures have played a certain role on the surface, in fact, ministers have no feelings for Queen Mother Liang, only resentment remains.
150, the first year of peace. At the age of 45, Queen Liang finally fell ill because of internal and external troubles. This powerful woman who has been in power for six years and faced the four emperors of North Korea had to give up the power of nostalgia. Of course, before she died, she made a wise decision and gave her power to Emperor Herry Liu.
There is endless evil behind us.
Although Queen Liang passed away, the bad luck of her and her family did not end. Liang's power is still strong, and Queen Liang is still alive and in charge of state affairs, which greatly weakens the power of Emperor Huan, who has been leading state affairs on the surface.
The most important thing is that Queen Liang's family is still playing a role, and Emperor Huan finally chose to wait. Although as an emperor, this is the most unacceptable, and Emperor Huan has no other way.
In the first year of Jian 'an, namely 147 lunar calendar in June, the year after Herry Liu proclaimed himself emperor, Liang He forced him to marry Herry Liu. In August, Liang Nvying was officially awarded the title of Queen Herry Liu.
The queen used the power of Queen Liang to plunder her inner palace, and her life was extremely luxurious. Liang Nvying is a plain. After entering the palace, he was very jealous of the beautiful women around him and used various despicable means to prevent them from approaching Emperor Huan. Although Emperor Huan was dissatisfied, he was helpless.
In 150, after Liang's death, Emperor Huan began to alienate the queen. Being left out, I was very dissatisfied, especially when I saw that Emperor Huan was in love with other concubines, and my heart was full of resentment. She started killing those pregnant concubines, and soon. Emperor Huan's heart is clear, so he hates Liang Nvying even more. Liang Nvying was depressed and very ill. /kloc-died in the palace in 0/59.
At this time, full-fledged, determined to completely eradicate the power of Liang. He and eunuchs ChanChao and Tang Heng around him conspired to get rid of old Liang Ji. After many careful plans, he ordered the action! More than 1000 people surrounded the headquarters in Ji Liang. Liang Ji and his wife Sun Shou committed suicide in despair! Since then, Liang Jun, represented by Empress Liang and He Wei, has lost power and influence.
Alas, the outcome of Empress Liang's visit to the DPRK is so tragic that it is worth pondering.
