We know that after entering the patriarchal society, women have always been in a subordinate position to men, and it is difficult for them to have the opportunity to dominate power. Throughout the feudal monarchy in China for more than two thousand years, only Wu Zetian was the emperor. She is not only the first female emperor in China history, but also the only one. However, it is worth mentioning that there was a female emperor in the Southern and Northern Dynasties when ethics collapsed. She was the first female emperor in history, hundreds of years earlier than Wu Zetian, but she was forgotten by later generations!

When it comes to the appearance of the female emperor, we have to mention Hu Taihou in the period of Emperor Xiaoming of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xu Yuan. You know, when Emperor Xiaoming was in office, there was no real power at all. The real power of the Northern Wei Dynasty was in the hands of Hu Taihou. At that time, with the growth of Emperor Xiaoming, Hu Huanghou, who was greedy for power, never wanted to give it back to him, which made Emperor Xiaoming very dissatisfied. Then he quietly contacted the general Er Dongrong, trying to force Hu Taihou to abdicate with internal cooperation.

Unfortunately, Emperor Xiaoming's plan failed to come true after all. When he was discussing with Er Dongrong, Hu Taihou's eyeliner told Hu Taihou the secret, which made him furious, and then poisoned Emperor Xiaoming, who was only 19 years old. You know, this was a gross violation of the Northern Wei court which accepted the Han culture at that time, and Hu Taihou was also guilty of it. However, as the queen mother in power, it will naturally not be known to the world, and ministers dare not expose it.

Since then, Hu Taihou has monopolized the power, and the ministers in the DPRK have to obey her. And with the expansion of power, Hu Taihou began to test his prestige in North Korea, so he made Xiaoming's youngest daughter emperor, hoping to see the attitude of ministers towards her. Although Hu Taihou did something against the rules, under the threat of her power, ministers naturally had nothing to say, so they had to obey her wishes. After testing the expected results, Hu Taihou immediately abolished the new emperor in the name of a woman, and it took only half a day to establish and abolish it.

Although Emperor Xiaoming's daughter only stayed under the emperor's name for half a day and didn't even know her surname, it is obviously a fact that she was an emperor, and there is nothing wrong with it. But because she was too young and too short, people didn't even know her name, so the sad little emperor disappeared in the long river of history.
