Chapter 175: A Glimpse into History

Gongming continued to look down, "Empress Xu was born in a famous family, has good colors and arts, and is still good at articles, which has caused Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty to favor the queen for more than ten years, and other concubines are rarely lucky." But when he grew older, he became sensitive, and the children he gave birth to died young. After Zhao Feiyan's sisters entered the palace, Empress Xu's status was even more unstable, and in the third year of Hongjia, Zhao Feiyan framed Empress Xu and her sister Mrs. Hou Xu and Ban Jieyu to curse the pregnant palace maid and general Wang Feng with witch Gu, and as a result, Xu Yu was beheaded, and Empress Xu was deposed and imprisoned in Zhaotai Palace. The Xu family was repatriated to their hometown of Changyi. ”

The lines of Gongming are shocking.

Empress Xu's other sister, Xu Mi, was widowed at home after her husband Han Bao died. and the queen mother's nephew, the palace guard, and the servant Chun Yu Chang. After that, he married Xu Mi as a concubine. Chun Yuchang was extravagant, so he told Queen Xu through Xu Mi that as long as he had money, he had a way to make Queen Xu come back as the "Queen of Zuo". Queen Xu believed it to be true, and successively sent more than 1,000 taels of silver, and said that as long as she could be a Jieyu, it would be enough. But Chun Yuchang didn't make any effort, but laughed at Queen Xu's whimsy with Xu Mi, and teased Queen Xu more in his letters. ”

"Liu Biao (51 BC - 7 BC), that is, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, the twelfth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, the son of Emperor Liu Zheng of the Han Yuan Dynasty and Wang Zhengjun, the Empress of Xiaoyuan. After Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he was desolate in wine, his relatives were good at government, and almost all the major politics were in the hands of the queen mother's family, which laid the root of Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, and peasant uprisings and iron officials and apprentices revolted in various places. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty reigned from the first year of Jingning to the second year of Suihe (33 years ago - 7 years ago), reigned for a total of 25 years, died at the age of 44, was called Emperor Xiaocheng, the temple was called Tongzong, and was buried in Yanling. ”

"In 8 BC, the ruling Wang Gen was old, Chun Yuchang and Wang Mang secretly competed, Chun Yuchang and Empress Xu's letter was exposed, Emperor Cheng was furious, ordered the arrest of Chun Yuchang, entered Luoyang Prison, and hanged, at the same time Emperor Cheng sent the court captain Kong Guang Zhizhao to the cold palace, Queen Xu was forced to take poison and commit suicide!"

Empress Xu was not reset in the end, and was given death, Gongming trembled, Xiangxiang looked at his expression, and obediently did not interrupt him, Gongming adjusted his mentality and continued to look down.

"At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, because Emperor Han Ai liked male style, favored Dong Xian, was extravagant, died at the age of twenty-six, and the imperial power was lost, Wang Mang took the opportunity to steal power. In December 8 A.D., Wang Mang built a new country on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and announced the implementation of a new policy, known as "Wang Mang's reform" in history. At the end of Wang Mang's reign, the world was in turmoil. In the fourth year of the new Mang Emperor, the first army invaded Chang'an, Wang Mang died in the chaos, and the new dynasty perished. Wang Mang reigned for 15 years and died at the age of 69, and the new dynasty became one of the shortest-lived dynasties in Chinese history."

Komeito slowly put down the book, and he sat there in a daze.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiangxiang asked curiously.

"So this is the ...... of history," Komeito said to himself.

"Are you alright?" Xiangxiang looked at Gongming's pale face and asked worriedly.

"Is all this true? The queen was given death by the emperor? ”

"Yes, because I play Queen Xu, I know very well that this is the case!"

"Unbelievable, how good this should be!" Komeito whispered.

"Is this going to be a problem for you?" Xiangxiang asked curiously.

"In the end, I still can't help the righteous in Dahan."

"And what do you want to do?"

"Help the queen to reset the throne, clear the false accusations of Zhao Feiyan and the Wang family, and correct the discipline of the imperial court." Gongming said, his eyes shining with determination.
