Who is the only woman who has been queen twice in the history of China?

The Yang family was a famous family in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and Yang's father, Yang Xuanzhi, was also a businessman. Her birth is remarkable. She is both talented and charming. If she hadn't been cheated by her grandfather, it would be natural to marry a Mr. Right. But because of her grandfather's greed for power and status, she became the second wife of an idiot emperor, so that she was not only depressed for the first half of her life, but even lived in fear at any time.

The idiot emperor Yang married was Sima Zhong, the Emperor of Jinhui. The most famous story about Sima Zhong is "Why not eat minced meat". There was a famine in the world, and many people starved to death. Sima Zhong asked strangely, "Why don't they eat meat porridge?" Everyone around you is in distress situation. People can't even drink rice porridge. Where can we get porridge?

Sima Zhong's original match is the famous ugly and poisonous Jia Nanfeng in history. Because of Sima Zhong's stupidity, she was able to manipulate state affairs and run amok. Jia Nanfeng's overbearing, dissolute and shameless behavior finally caused the rebellion of Sima family. In 300 AD, Sima Lun of Wang Zhao and Sima Tong of Wang Qi staged a coup, led the troops into the palace, poisoned Jia Nanfeng, eradicated the henchmen, and then declared themselves regent.

Although Sima Zhong is an idiot, he is still an emperor in name, and he needs to find a queen for the sake of the royal family's face, so Sima Lun handed the matter to his close confidant Sun Xiu. When Yang's grandfather, General Pingnan, heard that he wanted to be a relative of the country, he recommended his granddaughter to Sun Xiu. Sun Xiu and Sun Qi are relatives, so they naturally agreed. So in 1 1 year, Yang married Sima Zhong and became his second queen.

I don't know what it was like for the new queen to marry an idiot at that time, but she should blame her grandfather in the future, because only two months later, in the first month of 30 1 A.D., Sima Lun seized Sima Zhong's throne and made the idiot emperor "the emperor's father", and then he and his family were put into the cold palace in Jinyong City, and the "Eight Kings Rebellion" that led to the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty began.

In the "Eight Kings Rebellion", the monarchs of Sima family stepped onto the historical stage one after another, and they fought for the dragon chair in the Jin Dynasty. I'll come on stage after you sing. It's very lively. With the appearance and demise of these princes, Yang was constantly ups and downs, abolished four times before and after, and reset four times. In the meantime, he was almost killed. These experiences are really soul-stirring, and the psychological quality is poor and I have a mental breakdown.

∣ After being deposed and reset for the first time, Sima Lun usurped the throne. King Sima Yi of Qi, King Sima Ying of Chengdu, King Sima Yu of Hejian and King Wu Min Sima Jiong of Qi assembled hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Luoyang City and beheaded Sima Lun's family. Subsequently, these princes fought for power and profit with each other, and Sima Tong and Sima Ai were killed one after another. After the victory, Sima Yu and Sima Ying usurped the throne "legally". In February 304, she abandoned Yang Wei, demoted her adopted son and crown prince Sima Qin as the king of Qinghe, and made Sima Ying her younger brother. Sima Ying ascended the throne "legally" before the idiot emperor stepped down. Chen Ying, the right general, has led the army to fight in and drive away Sima Ying. Welcome Yang, who was imprisoned in Jin Yong for half a year, to return to the palace to reset the queen.

∣ Second Abandoned Child Placement In order to get rid of Sima Ying who fled to Yecheng, the kings headed by Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, led troops to crusade, and also took Sima Zhong personally. As a result, Sima Ying's department, Shi Chao, was beaten out of the water in Anyang, Henan. The ministers abandoned the foolish emperor and fled. The injured Sima Zhong was captured alive and sent to Yecheng to see Sima Ying.

Sima Yue was defeated. At the same time, Sima Yu led Zhang Fang's army to capture Luoyang City. According to the master's previous method, Yang Wei was abolished again, and the Crown Prince Sima Qin was abolished again. But before long, Sima Ying was defeated again, and Sima Zhong had to return to Luoyang. Zhang Fang, who was boycotted by courtiers, saw that the situation was not good, led troops into the palace, kidnapped Sima Zhong to Chang 'an and handed it over to Sima Yi. The courtiers in Luoyang spontaneously formed a small court to stay behind, and in 304 AD165438+1October 7, Yang's position was restored, allowing her to give orders in her own name.

Give up and reset for the third time

Although the left-behind small court restored Yang, it did not restore the prince. Instead, it named Sima Chi, king of Zhang Yu, as the emperor's younger brother in her name. In 305 AD, after receiving the news, Sima Yu asked Sima Zhong to depose Yang Wei. In June of the same year165438+1October, Luoyang general Zhou Quan lied that he had received a secret edict from Emperor Jinhui, restored Yang's throne, and promoted himself to the rank of general of that day.

∣ The fourth abandonment and reset

The comprehensive approach not only brought him a fatal disaster, but also made Yang suffer an innocent death. After defeating Zhou Quan, Luo Yang ordered He Qiao to kill him, and Yang was abolished and put in the cold palace of Jin Yongcheng again. However, Sima Yu is still not at ease. Yang is always a hidden danger alive. He is afraid that someone will use her identity to deal with him, so he is determined to kill him quickly.

In 306 AD, Sima Yu forged an imperial edict in Chang 'an and ordered Luoyang officials to put her to death for Yang's rebellion. However, many officials in Luoyang knew that Yang couldn't rebel and expressed deep sympathy for her tragic experience, so they didn't want to kill her. At the urging of Sima Yu for many times, Liu Gang, a captain, joined forces with archer Xun Qiang and Henan Yin Zhou Fuchi to intercede for Yang, saying:

The messenger suddenly took poison and entered Jin Yong City, which shocked both inside and outside the imperial court and thought that this was not the original intention of the holy family. Shu Ren, the bride's family of the sheep, has been in disrepair for a long time. She has also been abolished and exiled to the cold palace. She is closely guarded, unable to see the heavens and the earth, and has no chance to collude with the traitors for the crisis. No one in Luoyang city, smart or stupid, does not think that she has been wronged ... Observing the courtiers' hearts and minds, she is deeply worried.

Sima Yu was furious after reading this paper and retaliated against Liu Yong and others, forcing them to leave Luoyang and flee to Qingzhou. However, this paper saved Yang Yi's life after all, and Sima Yu was forced by public opinion to dare not kill Yang again. But this incident made the kings of Sima find a reason to send troops again. Once again, they, led by Sima Yue, joined forces to crusade against Sima Yi.

In May 306, the kings of Sima captured Chang 'an and brought the idiot emperor back to Luoyang. Yang was released from the cold palace again and became the queen again.

The above is Yang's experience of being abolished four times. There is no fifth time because her idiot husband Jin Huidi Sima Zhong died.

On the night of 306 AD165438+1October 17, Sima Zhong was poisoned after eating some wheat cakes and died the next day. Although people suspect that he was poisoned by Sima Yue, there is no evidence to prove it. Yang is worried that after the emperor's younger brother Sima Chi ascended the throne, he will not be the Queen Mother, and his future is unpredictable. He intends to establish an innocent and abolish former Prince Sima Qin. But without real power, she can't change the situation at all. In 2 1 year, Sima Chi became Emperor Huai with the support of Sima Yue and others. After he ascended the throne, he honored Queen Yang Weihui and arranged to live in Hongxun Palace. From then on, Yang lived alone in the deep palace in the embarrassing capacity of the emperor's eldest sister-in-law. If it weren't for the invasion of Luoyang by Zhao Huangjun of Han Dynasty five years later, she would have been completely forgotten by the world.

During the "Eight Kings Rebellion", wars were frequent, and it was difficult for Han people to survive, so they rose up one after another. The conference semifinals living in the Central Plains were even more unwilling to endure this torture. Once the leader summoned them, they launched a rebellion. However, the princes of Sima family used Hu Bing, such as Xianbei, Xiongnu, Xiongnu, and Qiang, unscrupulously to strengthen their own strength and make the conference semifinals take the opportunity to develop their power. By the end of the "Eight Kings Rebellion", the declining Western Jin Dynasty had been unable to control the situation. Since then, the land of the Central Plains has entered a period of great division and great turmoil, which has brought more than a century of chaos and chaos to the people of the Central Plains.

In 3 1 1 year, the Han and Zhao empires established by Xiongnu descendants began to attack the Western Jin Dynasty. Sima Chi, the emperor of Huai Jin, whose family was busy with the civil war, couldn't cope with it. He planned to move the capital and escape, but he had to give up because of the opposition of the powerful ministers. In June, Emperor Liu Yao captured Luoyang and captured Sima Chi alive.

Although Liu Yao's surname is Liu, he is not a Han Chinese, but an out-and-out Hun. Why did Xiongnu seal Liu? That has to start from the Han dynasty.

In the early Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu Empire was very powerful and invaded the Han Empire many times. After Liu Bang, the emperor gaozu of Han Dynasty, led the army to defeat, the Han Empire began to adopt the policy of moving closer to the Huns in order to seek national peace. After a series of blows by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu began to decline from prosperity, especially after splitting into the northern and southern Xiongnu, but the Han government still married the princess to the southern Xiongnu who took refuge in the Han Empire as a sign of reconciliation. With the gradual sinicization of the southern Xiongnu, many nobles in the southern Xiongnu changed their surnames to show that they were descendants of Hun Khan and princesses of the Han Dynasty. In fact, many princesses sent by the Han Dynasty were not even relatives of the royal family, but ordinary maids of Zhaojun in Rainbow, and were not related to the Liu family. But what these Xiongnu nobles need is the fame of the Liu family, and they will not pursue the origins of those who are closely related to the princess, not to mention that some Xiongnu themselves are not necessarily descendants of Khan.

Liu Yao is a South Xiongnu aristocrat with China characteristics. He is the nephew of Emperor Liu Yuan of the Han Dynasty. Because his father died early, his mother Hu took him to Liu Yuan. Liu Yuan likes him very much and regards him as his adopted son.

After the Xiongnu army invaded Luoyang, hundreds of Western Jin royal families were captured, and many people unfortunately became slaves of Xiongnu. So, what happened to Yang who was captured with these royalty?

According to Zi Jian:

Yao accepted the sheep queen and moved the emperor and six seals to Pingyang.

That is to say, Yang was married by Liu Yao, and his emperor Sima Chi, together with his imperial edict, was sent to Pingyang, the capital of Emperor Hanzhao, and was soon poisoned by Emperor Liu Cong of Hanzhao.

Compared with the slaves of the Western Jin Dynasty, Yang's ending is quite good, and Liu Yao likes her very much. They gave birth to three sons: Liu Xi, Liu Xi and Liu Chen. In 3 19 AD, Liu Yao proclaimed himself emperor, made Yang queen and his eldest son Liu Xili prince, which showed Yang's dignity.

What about Yang and Liu Yao? Liu Yao once asked her, "How do I compare with Sima Zhong?"

Yang replied, "How can you compare with him? You are the founder of the country, but he is the king of national subjugation. His wife, son and his own life cannot be sheltered. As an emperor, his wife was humiliated by his subjects. I really had the heart to die at that time. I never thought I would be where I am today. I grew up in a rich family and often thought that all men in the world were like him. Now that I am married to you, I know there is a real gentleman in the world. "

Yang's remarks should be from the heart. Sima Zhong is an idiot. Normal men are better than him even if they are ordinary, not to mention Liu Yao. And according to historical records, Liu Yao is very manly. He is tall, powerful and good at archery. He is an outstanding marksman. In addition to his superb martial arts, he also likes reading books and is familiar with the art of war. He is also good at writing and calligraphy, which makes him both civil and military. Compared with Sima Zhong, he is even more different. In the six years since he married that idiot ex-husband, Yang has been living in fear and almost lost his life. She is naturally satisfied to marry such a man again.

Perhaps the cold palace life in my early years damaged my health. Yang's life span is not long. He died only two years after being the queen of Liu Yao. Posthumous title is the "Queen of Writing". Liu Yao was deeply saddened by her untimely death. He personally chose the cemetery for her, and spent a huge sum of money to pay tribute to her Jianping Mausoleum.

As the queen of Han nationality, Yang remarried to Xiongnu and became an alien queen. To others, she was criticized by historians and became a witch of national subjugation. However, because what happened in front of her was so tragic, she married an idiot husband, but she was rushed to the cold palace many times innocently and lived an inhuman life, so that when Sima Yu tried to poison her, even the ministers in the Western Jin Dynasty could not stand it and risked their lives to plead for her together. Perhaps because of this, historians have not criticized Yang's remarriage to Yidi too much. In the final analysis, it is the black sheep of Sima's family who are really to blame. They fight for power and profit, eat each other's flesh and blood, but they have no talent to stabilize the country, which eventually led to the "five chaos in China".
