It is said that at the beginning of Emperor Wu's accession to the throne, Chengwen Jingzhi was frugal and frugal, the country was peaceful and the people were rich. The money in the treasury has been stored for a long time, and the money is broken; There is too much grain to accumulate, and it is often exposed and rotten to the point of inedibility. The people usually do not suffer from floods and droughts, and every family has enough food and clothing, and those who are officials will not change their lives without other reasons, so that the official name represents his name.

In the spring and March of the second year of Jianyuan, Emperor Wu went to Ba Shang to make sacrifices as usual, and when he came back, he drove to the house of Princess Pingyang.

Princess Pingyang was originally called Princess Yangxin, and because she married Pingyang Hou Cao Shou as her wife, she was called Princess Pingyang. Cao Shou is the great-grandson of Cao Shen. When the princess saw Emperor Wu coming, she hurriedly welcomed him in and greeted her with a feast. drank until several rounds, but summoned more than ten young women to persuade them to drink. What does it mean to see Princess Pingyang? She has not given birth to a child for Queen Chen for a long time, and specially selected the daughter of a good family to raise the family, and took advantage of Emperor Wu to pass by and put the female makeup out of the house, Emperor Wu has seen it one by one, but has never chosen one, the princess saw that Emperor Wu was not satisfied, so she ordered everyone to withdraw.

Princess Pingyang summoned another group of singers to sing and dance, one of them had a delicate throat and a sonorous tune, which was sent into the eyes of Emperor Wu, and she couldn't help but gaze at it, only to see her low eyebrows and green eyes, faint and red, and already felt charming and moving, gratifying and cute. It is especially wonderful in the ten thousand strands of green silk gathered into a snake bun, the black oil can be seen, smooth and smooth without dust. After looking at it for a long time, without blinking her eyes, the singer had already realized it, slanting a pair of pretty eyes, and repeatedly peeked at Emperor Wu. She is good at songs, can create new songs, and now that she sees the Son of Heaven, she will use the lyrics to pick Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu listened to her lyrics and was not moved. Princess Pingyang resumed to be amused, and deliberately asked Emperor Wu: "What is this singer Wei's color art?" Emperor Wu listened and said to the princess: "Who is she?" What's the name? The princess replied that she was from Pingyang and her name was Zifu. Emperor Wu couldn't help but lose his voice and said: "What a Pingyang Wei Zifu!" Saying that, he pretended to be warm, sat down and changed clothes. The princess immediately ordered Wei Zifu to enter Shangyixuan with Emperor Wu. After a long rest, the princess sat peacefully and was not busy. It took another half a day to see Emperor Wu come out, with a slightly tired face on his face, and Wei Zifu only came before he came when he read the film, his starry eyes were slightly cloudy, and he had a coquettish attitude, which was almost difficult to describe. Princess Pingyang deliberately glanced at her husband, who bowed his head shyly and was speechless. Emperor Wu looked at the husband's mood and felt ecstasy. Emperor Wu was happy with the color and ordered the princess to give the princess a thousand catties of gold. The princess asked to send her husband into the palace, and Emperor Wu allowed it. After the wine was dispersed, Emperor Wu drove back to the palace and ordered his husband to be loaded into the rear car. The princess personally sent her husband to board the car, stroked his back and said: "You should go here to accept the rain and dew, and you will be honored in the future, fortunately, don't forget each other!" Zifu Nuno got into the car and went away.

Speaking of Wei Zifu, his background is very low, his mother Wei Yuan, is the maid of the Pingyang Hou Cao Shou family, after the death of the head of the family, he began to serve the son of the head of the family Cao Qi. At that time, Wei Yuan was in her youth, both beautiful and gentle, so Cao Gongzi married her. However, the two people may not have compatible personalities, and the relationship slowly fades. Soon Cao Mansion had a subordinate surnamed Wei who made a great contribution, Cao Qi gave Wei Yuan to marry him, after worshipping the hall, Wei Yuan and her husband gave birth to a boy and three girls, the male character Changjun, the eldest daughter Zijun, the second daughter Zizi, and the third female Zifu.

However, after the couple gave birth to four children, the father died on a trip away. Since then, Wei Yuan has dragged four children to grow up, and when her husband's friend Zheng Ji came to visit their family, Wei Yuan couldn't even bring out a cup of tea to greet them. Zheng Ji saw that her appearance was okay, so he had an affair with her, and actually gave birth to another boy, named Qing. Wei Yuan raised Qing for several years, and returned Zheng Qing to Zheng Ji.

Wei Zifu has a beautiful appearance since he was a child, his hair is particularly beautiful, the color is black and long, and the light can be seen, because of his mother, he is the singer of the Hou family in Pingyang.

Emperor Wu took Wei Zifu and drove into the palace, hoping to continue the joy at night and reunite Luanfeng, but there was a greedy and jealous nobleman waiting in the palace, and the enemy met the opponent, and his eyes were instantaneous, and he had already seen Wei Zifu. Hurriedly asked about the origin, Emperor Wu had no choice but to say that it was Princess Pingyang's domestic slave and entered the palace to serve as a servant. Who knew that she raised her willow eyebrows and flipped the peach spirit, said two good words, and turned around. Who is this man? is Queen Chen Ajiao. Emperor Wu thought that the queen was not a person to be messed with, in the past, the king of Jiaodong was the crown prince, and the prince was the emperor, thanks to the queen's mother, the eldest princess. Besides, he had the vow of Jinwu Zangjiao when he was young, how could he leave away the love between husband and wife for several years for Wei Zifu alone? So Wei Zifu settled in another room, and went to the middle palace to stay with the queen, and since then Wei Zifu has been locked in the palace for more than a year. Empress Chen gradually loosened his guard and stopped asking, even Emperor Wu let go of his old feelings and stumbled in the past.

Because there are too many palace maids, Emperor Wu wants to see the advantages and disadvantages to stay, and a group of women who live in the deep palace are eager to go out of the palace and go home, so as to choose another match to avoid mistakes for life, so they are willing to see the car and hope to be distributed. After Wei Zifu entered the palace, he wanted to accompany the young Son of Heaven to pet the back room, but he was jealous of the main palace and could not see each other. Emperor Wu personally inspected the palace according to the roster of palace people, some were ordered to go out, and some were still retained. When I saw Wei Zifu, I couldn't help but feel the previous situation, and when I saw Wei Zifu coming over, his face was still a little thinner, but his long hair was still dark and shiny. Before bowing down to the seat, he forced his throat and whimpered and said a word, wishing to be released from the palace. Emperor Wu was shocked, ashamed, pitiful and loving, that is, he was busy soothing and soothing her, and she kept it. It was inconvenient for the husband to disobey the order, so he had to stand aside, and after the rest of the people were inspected, he would go out of the palace gate if he should go, and return to the original room if he should stay. The son-in-law was instructed to stay, but he had no choice but to retreat with the crowd, but there was no news yet. The next night, there was a decree from the inner servant, and the husband was summoned to see the pavilion and bow down. Emperor Wu was busy taking her into his arms to prevent her, and recounted a year of separation. Zifu deliberately said: "The concubine should not get close to Your Majesty, if it is known by the Middle Palace, it is not a pity for the concubine to die, I am afraid that Your Majesty will also have a lot of inconvenience!" Emperor Wu said: "I am here to summon Qing, and it is quite far away from the main palace, so as not to be heard." Besides, I had a dream yesterday, and I saw that there were several catalpa trees next to the Qing stand, and the voice of the catalpa and the son communicated, I have no son, should I be in the Qing body, should I give birth to a child for me? As he spoke, he went into bed hand in hand with his son-in-law, and then tried to do good things.

After the husband was lucky, he was immediately pregnant, and he didn't want to be known by Empress Chen, so he hated the abnormality, and immediately went to see Emperor Wu to argue with him. Emperor Wu refused to let it go again, and blamed Empress Chen for having no children, and he couldn't help but be fortunate that Wei's family asked for a child. Empress Chen had no words to refute and retreated indignantly. On the one hand, he withdrew money to seek medical treatment, repeatedly took drugs suitable for men, and on the other hand, he designed in many ways to harm the new singer. God refuses to be beautiful, no matter how she plans, it is always ineffective. After Emperor Wu heard about it, he cherished his husband more and more, and sent people to guard him day and night, but Empress Chen had no way to start. The son-in-law was poisoned by her several times, but fortunately he didn't die. Empress Chen was unrelenting, and often consulted secretly with her mother, Mrs. Dou, and always wanted to get rid of her rivals. Mrs. Dou is the princess of the pavilion Tao, because the plus sign is called from the mother's surname, so she is respected as Mrs. Dou. As a mother, Mrs. Dou allowed her daughter to harm others, not only did she not teach her a lesson, but she wanted to help her abuse. I can't have a husband, I suddenly heard that there is a small official in Jianzhang Palace called Wei Qing, who is Wei Zifu's half-brother, and he is just on an errand, and Mrs. Dou can't push down Wei Zifu, so she wants to get angry from her mother and brother and ask someone to catch Qing.

Wei Qingzi Zhongqing, his surname is Zheng. It turned out that after Wei Yuan's husband died, he still went to Pingyang Hou's house as a maid, and had an affair with his ex-husband's friend Zheng Ji, and actually gave birth to a man, named Qing. Zheng Ji already has a wife, and he can't marry Wei Yuan anymore, Wei Yuan has been raising Qing for several years, and the hard work can be imagined, and Zheng Qing was returned to Zheng Ji. Zheng Ji already has a wife in his family and gave birth to several children early. for he was an illegitimate child, and did not care much for him, and made him a shepherd. The sons did not regard him as a brother, but kept calling and drinking, making him do things like a slave, and from time to time he would beat and scold. Although Zheng Qing has parents, he has nothing to rely on, so he has to swallow his anger and live that lonely life. One day, because of something, I followed everyone to the living room of Ganquan Palace. This is the place where the sinners have been sent to work and lodging, and when a prisoner sees his countenance, he says, "This is the face of a nobleman, a prince and a prince." Zheng Qing said with a smile: "As the son of a human slave, I just want to be free from being scolded, where can I talk about meritorious service?" This story came to be known as the "Pincer Theory."

and Zheng was young and strong, and he did not want to be enslaved by the Zheng family anymore, so he tried to find his biological mother. The biological mother Wei Yuan went to the princess of Pingyang to beg for affection, and the princess summoned Qing to see, and saw that it was a big man with a dignified appearance, so he used it as a slave. Whenever the princess travels, Zheng Qing often follows on horseback. Although he was also a human slave, he was happier than when he was in his father's house. The three daughters of Shi Wei's family have all entered the capital, the eldest daughter married the prince Sheren Gongsun He, and the second daughter fell in love with Huo Zhongru, a Pingyang family official, and gave birth to a son, Huo Quai. The three female husbands have been selected into the palace by the singers. Zheng Qing was secretly happy in his heart, remembered the words of the tongs, and hoped that his sister would be rich and noble, and he would benefit himself.

But my surname is Zheng, my sister's surname is Wei, although I have the same mother, the lord may not know, it is better to change my surname to Wei, the Zheng brothers don't treat me as a person, so they simply cut off the relationship with them.

Zheng Qing thought about it, and from then on assumed the surname Wei. I also remembered that as a slave of the Hou family, it was humiliating, but I was recommended by someone to have to work as an errand in Jianzhang Palace. Wei Qing then got acquainted with Emperor Wu's group of officials, and became especially friendly with Sun Ao, the prince of Qilang.

Who knew that Wei Qing wanted to seek blessings, but he got disaster first. At this time, his sister Wei Zifu was fortunate to be pregnant, and Queen Chen did not die, so Mrs. Dou vented her anger for her daughter. Wei Qing is outside, how can he know the things in the palace, if he does not pretend to be surnamed Wei, Taizhu Dou may not know that he is the brother of the son-in-law, and now he sees his surname Wei, so he is angry. sent someone to lure Wei Qing to his home, tied him up by surprise, and imprisoned him in one place with the intention of killing him. Although Wei Qing was on an errand in the palace, his position was lowly and he was not well-known, so he was killed by the princess, and no one avenged him. At the critical moment, Gongsun Ao learned of this incident, and urgently invited many strong men to take advantage of the guards' unpreparedness to recapture Wei Qing, and Wei Qing was spared. When Emperor Wu heard about it, he summoned Wei Qing and his brother Wei Changjun to see him. Wei Qing was gentle and gentle, and Emperor Wu was favored when he saw it, and rewarded him with thousands of gold in a few days, and worshiped him with his brother as a servant. Wei Qing is expensive, and Mrs. Dou does not dare to harm again.

Wei Zifu doted on Rijia and gave birth to three daughters in a row, so Emperor Wu worshiped Zifu as his wife and promoted Wei Qing to be a doctor in Taizhong. Empress Wei's eldest sister, Junru, married to the servant Sun He; The second sister was a child, first had an affair with Huo Zhongru, and gave birth to a child named Qu Sick; Later, he had an affair with Chen Zhang, Chen Zhang is Chen Ping's great-grandson, with a beautiful face, Emperor Wu called Chen Zhang as Zhan Shi, Chen Zhang actually married a young child as his wife, and made the brother-in-law of the Son of Heaven in vain. Huo Qu was eighteen years old when he was sick, and Emperor Wu was also used as a servant. It was Gongsun Ao, who rescued Wei Qing, who was also invited to a special reward and served as a doctor.

However, Master Dou's desire to kill Wei Qing was self-defeating, but it made him suddenly become prominent, and even a group of relatives ascended to the prominent level, he was really remorseful, and he had no way to complain! Empress Chen couldn't be bored, Long Yan seemed to be the end of the world, and there was no way to recover it in her eagerness, but the long lock moth eyebrows did not show all day long, Emperor Wu wanted to abolish Empress Chen, but he was afraid that the Empress Dowager would obstruct her, so she just treated the Wei sisters well, and Empress Chen did not ask. But the Empress Dowager was already displeased, and every time Emperor Wu entered the province, she would be reprimanded. Emperor Wu was inconvenient to resist, but he was very depressed in his heart, so he had to mock the wind and the moon with a group of courtiers, and chant poems to kill time drunk.
