Chapter 1 When the Opportunity Knocks on the Door 15

This story began to shine and diverge from Liu Yao and others when they conquered Luoyang, which was in 311, when the Western Jin Dynasty, which was exhausted both internally and externally, could no longer hold the capital Luoyang. When Liu Yao's army burned and looted in Luoyang City, Liu Yao himself was not idle, he ran into the palace of the emperor of the Jin Dynasty in Luoyang, and met a woman who was not young but still beautiful, so he forcibly had an intimate relationship with her, very pure, the kind that is not responsible after the incident. But Liu Yao took the blame, he took the woman away and made her his wife. When Liu Yao ascended the throne as emperor, he also canonized this woman as the queen.

What a legendary experience, what a good woman. Oh, this woman's name is Yang Xianrong. Once, after Jia Nanfeng died, she was the queen of Emperor Sima Zhen of Jin Hui.

She has no impact on history, she is a complete weak person, and she has experienced the fate of "five wastes and six stands" in resignation, and she has become the queen of two dynasties in obedience. In the troubled times of war, in the world of absolute men, her legendary experience surpassed all the men of that era.

History, because of the deep memory!

Sheep sacrifice (?) —322), a native of Nancheng, Taishan Mountain, Shandong Province, is now Yangliu Town, Xintai City, Shandong Province, and the second empress of Emperor Sima Zhen of Jin Hui. Grandfather Yang Jin was shot by Shangshu's right servant; Father Yang Xuanzhi Ren Shang Shulang, worship Guanglu doctor, loose cavalry regular attendant, Feng Xing Jin Marquis; Maternal grandfather Sun Yi, Yanzhou Thorn History, General Pingnan, Fake Festival.

The above paragraph is the family background of Yang Xianrong, nothing else, just to tell you what it means to have a prominent family background. In that era of attaching importance to birth, the title of queen of Yang Xianrong was well deserved. It's just a pity that her man's name is Sima Zhen, and he is Sima Zhen who has become a puppet. The mentally handicapped husband, who is at the center of a political storm but is powerless, is simply not going to bring happiness in any sense to his new wife.

The legend of the sheep begins on the day of her wedding: the bride's wedding dress catches fire as soon as she wears it. Later generations called it a beautiful name: a burning wedding dress. But the foreboding at that time, everyone felt it.

Sima Zhen dotes on her very much, compared to the ugly Jia Nanfeng, the new queen is like a gift from God. However, how would the teenage beautiful girl Yang Xianrong feel in the face of the dull and cowardly Jin Hui Emperor Sima Zhen? History books are always cold and don't care.

Later, with the beginning of the chaos of the Eight Kings, Yang Xianrong's greater misfortune also followed with the chaos.

I still want to say Sima Lun, Sima Lun killed Jia Nanfeng naturally out of the need for struggle, and even more so for the establishment of Yang Xianrong as the queen, at the beginning, Yang Xianrong was just a tool, a doll, and his fate changed because of Sima Lun's needs.

When Sima Lun usurped the throne, he respected Sima Zhen as the emperor, and Yang Xianrong became a role like the queen mother because of his promotion, which was not abolished. But when Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, united the kings to kill Sima Lun and welcome the Jin Hui Emperor Sima Zhen to reinstate the throne, it was inevitable that the queen Yang Xianrong would be deposed as the queen. After all, Yang Xianrong, the queen, was found by Sima Lun for Emperor Hui of Jin, and if she is not abolished, what will explain the illegality of what Sima Lun did? What more do you have to explain the legitimacy of your actions to defend the emperor? The queen of Sima Lunli is sitting in the position of the queen! A hundred mouths can't be explained clearly.

Then scrap it! Anyway, Sima Zhen couldn't express any opinions.

Later, when the next prince defeated Sima Ying, in the same way, in order to show his legal status and his position against the previous misbehaving prince, the abolished sheep Xianrong was turned out of the corner and became the queen.

Then continue to be the queen, Yang Xianrong has no choice but to obey the arrangement of the ministers.

The actual leaders of the Great Jin Empire are changing every day, and everyone thinks that their position is upright and bright, at least, to let others know what they are doing in accordance with the way of heaven and the hearts of the people. As a result, Yang Xianrong survived in the cycle of being deposed and being made a queen for the same reason. Every turmoil in the Great Jin Dynasty, Yang Xianrong wandered between the waste and the establishment. There are as many as five such cycles!

At the most tragic time, a Luoyang county magistrate actually took off the queen's phoenix crown on her head. What we see today is a legend, but at that time, the days of sheep sacrifice were humiliating and miserable. and a foolish husband, manipulated like a puppet by others. He has never controlled his own destiny, and everything depends on the faces of others. Yang Xianrong is innocent and pitiful, she has become a signboard used by careerists at will, hanging or falling, just used by them to show their authority.

I have to say that the former queen Jia Nanfeng is right, the politics in the court have always been like this, rather than being manipulated by others, it is better to use all kinds of tricks to manipulate others. At least, when you are alive, you are extraordinarily wonderful, and you don't have to compromise and endure humiliation. Where is the life of a puppet with the pleasure of being angry?

Yang Xianrong is a weak woman, but also a strong woman. She has endured disasters and humiliation, and she is still alive, and this alone makes her worthy of the word "strong". Of course, you can also say that she is stinky and shameless, as the queen of a country, the abolition and establishment are all manipulated by others, without spine, without integrity, and she has lost the face of the queen who should be the mother of the world. However, from the day she got married, such a fate was already destined for her, so why condemn it?

Until Liu Yao's arrival.

At that time, Liu Yao may have really come on a white horse, but he didn't sacrifice his face to save the sheep. I didn't know her then, I didn't know she was suffering. He carried a blood-dripping war knife and came to Luoyang with a fierce and evil aura. Just to kill, conquer and rob.

Liu Yao was fascinated by Yang Xianrong at the first sight, but there were no flowers, no red wine, no romantic music and heartfelt love words. Liu Yao was enjoying the fruits of his victory, but it was just the conquistador's pure forcible possession of the vanquished. Yang Xianrong became a prisoner and became Liu Yao's woman. Seven years later, Liu Yao was called the emperor Chibi, and Yang Xianrong was made the queen. Since then, the Queen of Sheep has never been deposed again until her death.

Why can a woman who has already had a man have a child and is no longer young be so favored by Liu Yao and be made a queen again?

I don't know why, there is only one conversation recorded in the history books: Liu Yao once asked her: "How am I compared to the boy of the Sima family?" Yang Xianrong replied, "How can this be compared? Your Majesty, you are the founding lord of the country, and he is a dark lord of the dead country, and he can't even protect himself, his wife, a son, and three people, but you are the emperor but let his wife and children be humiliated in the hands of ordinary people. At that time, the concubine really wanted to die, where did she think that there would be today? The concubine was born in a high-ranking family, and she always felt that all men in the world were the same, but since serving you, I know that there is really a big husband in the world. ”

Of course, it is inevitable to be flattering, but in her words we can see something called "insight"! What about the insights in Yang Xianrong's words compared to those women who can only cry, make trouble, and hang themselves?

In the days with the Hun Liu Yao, Yang Xianrong was quite favored, lived a very happy life, and even participated in the government on weekdays, and Liu Yao had three sons, Liu Xi, Liu Xi, and Liu Xian. After his death, he was buried in the Xianping Mausoleum, and was called Queen Xianwen.

With a weak body, duckweed, she walked on the tip of the knife of power with difficulty, and struggled for life and death in the battle for imperial power, although the history books of later generations were full of insults, but this could not shake her legend.

She was a political doll on the verge of life and death several times in the Eight Kings Rebellion in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty; She is the only legendary woman in the historical records who was canonized as an empress by the emperors of the two countries. Sad, pitiful, and lamentable, a strong woman - a sheep sacrifice!

Born in such an era, we should be tolerant of her!
