Chapter 109: The Art of Witchcraft
Yang Guang: I'm laughing to death, do you know why Empress Chen used "witchcraft"? Because of the child, I want to have such a powerful daughter-in-law, I have to wake up in my dreams.
Li Longji: That is, if I can meet such a good lady and do so much for me, I will send money to my mother-in-law every month, otherwise my conscience will be uneasy!
Zhu Youzhang: Queen Chen herself has no scheming, she has been favored for ten years, why don't you give her a ray of peace of mind, she has no children, she can raise another concubine, it's just a man's heart, even if my queen will have no heirs, don't so many princes and princes have no choice?
Liu Che: It's ridiculous, what you said is light, how can an emperor have only one woman, and a woman without an heir is destined to not be able to pamper her alone.
Empress Dowager Cixi: Haha! It's really funny, you can't do it, it doesn't mean that people can't do it, the one above you who sent the barrage really did "monogamy", and this palace can be envied.
Xiaozhuang: Not only do you pamper your wife, but as he said, the position of the emperor is passed on to his nephew, unlike some people who are dispassionate and dissatisfied with their wives, and they still pretend!
Lv Pheasant: Haha! I see! The palace said that the Liu men were all unsympathetic people, what is there to justify, the palace does not have an opinion on the virtuous queen, but just wants to say that Wei Zifu at that time should not have the power of Queen Chen, right, the queen can't hold her son to raise?
Li Shimin: It's a bit hard to say about this, at that time, it was true that the power was still strong on the side of Empress Chen, but the ability of Wei Zifu's two relatives was not boasted, if this was to be adopted by Empress Chen, I was really not sure what the consequences would be?
Zhu Di: He Liu Che is already impatient with Chen Ajiao, what if he is adopted? After the death of Empress Dowager Dou, Empress Chen will not end well, and I don't think the ending of this Wei Zifu's family will change.
He Shen: The fundamental problem is not these two women, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Qin Shi Huang: It seems that what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did behind is not a small problem!
Yang Jian: Your Majesty the First Emperor, in the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was as obsessed with the elixir as you did, which led to ***......
Li Jing: We can't talk about this, let's let Miss Zhang continue!
"Okay, then I'll pick up where I left off."
"Speaking of the fact that the Queen Mother knew that she still needed to reconcile with the Empress Dowager Dou on the side of Princess Guantao, Liu Che endured it, and everyone saw that the right of Princess Guantao was completely the person who could influence the prince's personnel and the emperor's personnel,"
"Liu Che is neither a sister-in-law nor an eldest son, although he is favored, if according to normal circumstances, the throne will not fall into his hands. And the marriage proposed by Princess Guantao gave Liu Che an insurance and greatly increased the possibility of him ascending to the throne, after all, the princess was the only one who could speak in front of Empress Dowager Dou and Emperor Jing of Han. ”
"At this time, there was a thing, the Empress Dowager Dou died, the mother and daughter were gone, Liu Che's ambition didn't need to be endured anymore, plus Gillian didn't have an heir, so she was even more impatient, and directly pampered Wei Zifu every day, Liu Che's changes, Princess Guantao and Chen Ajiao also felt it, for this reason, they thought of a lot of ways to ask for a son, to restore Liu Che's favor to the queen."
"Until one day, Empress Chen thought of witchcraft ......"
"In order to regain Liu Che's favor, give birth to a son, and consolidate his position, the desperate Chen Ajiao began to seek help from witchcraft."
"In the Han Dynasty, witchcraft prevailed, and the harem was also affected, when Princess Guantao targeted Li Ji, she used to use witchcraft to talk about things, which successfully aroused the disgust of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, but because there was no harm and curse of the Son of Heaven, Li Ji was not punished for this."
At first, Gillian just ordered someone to perform the art of flattery, hoping to use the power of witchcraft to make Liu Che change his mind and devote himself wholeheartedly. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty himself should have known about this matter, but he didn't pursue it. ”
"Later, the technique of flattery did not work, Chen Ajiao neither got Liu Che's respect, nor did she solve the problem of having no children, and the situation escalated, and she began to order the witch Chu Fu and others to perform witchcraft and curse others for her."
"Whether it is borrowing witchcraft to seek love, or begging for a son, it is still within the emperor's tolerance, but using it to harm people, whether it is cursing the harem concubines or cursing the emperor himself, is beyond the emperor's tolerance."
"After all, although it is a curse on the harem concubines, it may be cursed on the emperor's head one day, as for cursing the emperor, it is even more unforgivable, not to mention Chen Ajiao, even if Liu Che's mother-in-law, the Queen Mother, does this kind of thing, the end may not be so good."
"Faced with such a situation, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and ordered the relevant personnel to be held accountable, in addition to beheading Chu Fu and others, more than 300 people were killed."
"And Chen Ajiao, the mastermind of this incident, was also confiscated from the queen's seal and ribbon, abolished the queen's position, and moved to live in Changmen Palace."
"Princess Guantao was very frightened when she found out, and in order to save her daughter and the family, she hurriedly entered the palace to ask Emperor Wu of Han for her guilt, hoping that he could deal with it lightly."
"Liu Che probably didn't think about killing his cousin and aunt, but at that time, the matter was too big to end, so he had to abolish her, although Chen Ajiao was abolished, but the food and clothing of Changmen Palace are the same as the palace, and she has not been wronged at all."
"More than ten years later, the Chen family, which was once prosperous, collapsed, and Chen Ajiao also died in Changmen Palace and was buried near the mausoleum of his maternal grandfather, Emperor Wen of Han."
Throughout Chen Ajiao's life, her father's sense of existence is very weak, but her mother, Princess Guantao, has a great influence on her. It can even be said that everything she has is due to her mother. ”
There is a saying in "Zuo Biography", "The beloved son of parents must have far-reaching plans for it", for Chen Ajiao, Princess Guantao is very loving, otherwise she would not have raised a proud daughter, and took great pains for her life's events. ”
"It's a pity that Princess Guantao tried her best to pave the way for Chen Ajiao to be a queen, but she didn't think about teaching her how to use legitimate means to protect the queen and herself."
"After all, cousins and cousins are one thing, husbands and wives are one thing, and the emperor and empress are another."
"Not only that, Princess Guantao also relied on her own merits to help Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascend to the throne, and kept asking him for money and power."
"And all this pushed her daughter step by step into the abyss of the abolition."
