Down and out Wang Sun and Cinderella
Emperor Gaozu Xuan Di and Xu Pingjun, one is a lonely prince and the other is a humble Cinderella. Their acquaintance and love, unlike other royal aristocrats, were not selected by the draft and were not mixed with interests, but more like the love between ordinary people, plain but true.
Xuan Di, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, was the only emperor who was unfortunately imprisoned in the history of China, because his birth coincided with the worst witchcraft disaster in the Han Dynasty. Being innocent, he was put in prison at an early age. Fortunately, with the help of the nobles, he was able to escape to the people and become invisible in the market. Therefore, although the blood of the Han Dynasty flowed in his body, he never realized the noble status of the prince, but lived a wandering and poor life.
Xu Pingjun's father Xu Guanghan is also an unlucky man. He worked in Changyi, Wang Fu in his early years, but at least he still had a stable job and lived a hard life. But once he traveled with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was nervous for a while, and even took someone else's saddle and put it on his horse. This was originally just a small mistake, but it was framed as "stealing a car". In this way, the crime will be great immediately, and dare to steal things under the emperor's eyes. According to law, he should be sentenced to death.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that the man might not have done it intentionally, so he reduced the death penalty to corruption. So, the poor Xu Guanghan entered the palace and became a eunuch. Because of his talent, he was appointed as Ye Tingcheng, equivalent to the deputy minister of the imperial court.
This is already bad luck, but the god of bad luck has always made him feel bad. Ye Tingcheng didn't do it for long, and suddenly there was an attempted coup in the palace. Xu Guanghan, who was in charge of the rope, suddenly found that a bundle of rope was missing. He was wondering when someone found the rope. It's weird. I don't know if Xu Guanghan was careless or if someone deliberately messed him up. Anyway, the unlucky Xu Guanghan was demoted to "ghost salary" because of "incompetence", that is, coolies. Later, because of his hard work, honesty, bad luck and sympathy, he was gradually promoted to a miser, that is, the warden of the Ye Ting court. At this time, Liu Xun, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, moved from her grandmother Shi Liangdi's family to study in Ye Ting. Living close together, they naturally met. And the tragic fate of appreciating each other, the two gradually became a pair of friends.
In Xu Guanghan's home, Liu Xun met Xu Pingjun who was pure and gentle, and two adolescent boys and girls had some small sparks in their hearts. It's a pity that Liu Xun is a fallen tiger. He doesn't know where the future lies, and he may be involved in political struggle at any time. Xu Pingjun was betrothed to others since he was a child. However, the red line of fate finally brought them together. When Xu Pingjun was nearly 30 years old, her fiance died suddenly and the engagement was naturally dissolved. At that time, Zhang He, the president of the court who had been taking care of Liu Xun, took the opportunity to come to Xu Guanghan's house and proposed to Liu Xun. At first, Xu Guanghan's wife disagreed, because although Liu Xun was a royal, she was a sinner. If she gets involved in political struggle in the future, won't her daughter be involved? However, Xu Guanghan has always admired Liu Xun's talent and personality, and has long been interested in this. Just before breaking off the engagement, he accepted the marriage with great pleasure.
When she got married, Liu Xun was poor and had no money to buy a wedding. Even the banquet was sponsored by Z Ryan. So, he married Xu Pingjun in name, but actually became Xu Guanghan's son-in-law. After marriage, the young couple still have to rely on their father Xu Guanghan to support them. In the face of such a penniless husband, the kind and virtuous Xu Pingjun did not abandon him, but gave him more tenderness and consideration. Because she knows her husband's situation, she doesn't want to add to his inner burden for a living. So although life is a little tight after marriage, the relationship between husband and wife is getting deeper and deeper. Perhaps the poor couple gained more mutual understanding and support.
In the second year after marriage, Xu Pingjun gave birth to a son for Liu Xun. Facing the present life, although dull, it is warm and happy. Liu Xun thought life was so regretless, but his fate suddenly changed.
Luck has come, but luck will never come.
As the saying goes, the reversal of fate is often unexpected. Seeing that Liu Xun was about to accept his fate and become an ordinary person in Lotte know life, he suddenly received a letter from the palace. In the first year of Yuanping (74 BC), Liu Xun went into the palace that flashed many times in his dream to visit his great aunt, the Queen Mother Shangguan.
In the face of the younger queen mother, Liu Xun was at a loss. The exiled sinner was suddenly called into the palace. He didn't know what he was doing, but he vaguely felt that his life was about to change. Sure enough, this meeting with the Queen Mother is to see if Liu Xun is qualified to be the Crown Prince.
After passing this interview, Liu Xun was officially named Yang Wuhou. Liu Xun's family is not suitable for the sudden change from an ordinary citizen to a prince, but fate is always beyond your choice. Before the identity of Wuhou Yang could adapt, Emperor Zhao of Han Dynasty died, and Liu Xun was promoted to the throne of Emperor Xuan of Han Dynasty.
The emperor's helplessness
Liu Xun, who became emperor, seems to have a turn for the better in others' eyes, but for himself, he may not like this arrangement, because once he became emperor, he lost many choices. Although the emperor was the statue of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the emperor who was helped up like Liu Xun didn't have much free will, and many things had to be done according to the face of the powerful minister.
At that time, Liu Xun was mainly supported by the powerful minister Huo Guang. The reason why he pushed this impoverished grandson back to the throne was to use him to seek power for his own people. Therefore, after Liu Xun entered the palace, he clashed with the minister on the first major event, which happened after the establishment. According to the meaning of Liu Xun, it is natural to set up her own wife-Xu Pingjun. This woman spent the most difficult days in her life with no regrets and gave herself so much comfort and happiness. Since she is the emperor, it is natural to repay her well. Huo Guang, on the other hand, hoped that his daughter Huo Chengjun would be the queen, further consolidating her position and power. Faced with the pressure of the Huo family, Emperor Gaozu, when he was down and out, issued the imperial edict of "Seeking Gu Jian" to find a sword. Courtiers naturally understand the meaning of "looking for a sword". Even the sword is so reluctant to give up, not to mention a * * * wife who caused the trouble? Emperor Xuandi of Emperor Gaozu used this imperial edict to declare his love for Xu Pingjun to the world. However, the courtiers could not persist in this situation, so they jointly invited Xu Pingjun to be the queen. However, Huo Guang is very dissatisfied with this. Even if Xu Pingjun became a queen, he still tried every means to obstruct the appointment of Xu Pingjun's father for fear of threatening his own interests.
Besides, although Xu Pingjun barely became a queen, life was hard. Moreover, bad luck is quietly approaching her. Three years ago (7 1), Xu Pingjun gave birth to another prince, and Liu Xun was very happy. However, Huo's mother took advantage of the opportunity of the queen's delivery and ordered the female doctor to add aconite to the pills taken by the queen. Poor Xu Pingjun died with a grudge and didn't have time to see his youngest son's full moon. In the face of this tragedy, Xuan Di, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was devastated. He thought that when he became emperor, Xu Pingjun could enjoy some retired life and no longer have to work hard for his livelihood, but he was hurt by traitors and died a natural death.
Endure for many years, revenge for his wife.
What saddens Xuan Di most is that he is the son of heaven, but he is unable to protect his beloved woman, or even to avenge her. The matter of poisoning the queen was finally settled hastily, and the physician took the blame for Huo Xian, and Huo became the queen as he wished. In the face of this vicious woman, Xuan Di pretended to obey on the surface, but he was extremely disgusted. Therefore, although Huo became a queen, she never gave birth to a child.
In the second year of Dijie (68 years ago), Huo Guang finally died, and Liu Xun's long-awaited counterattack moment came. He first named Xu Guanghan, the father of Xu Pingjun, Ping Enhou, and later made Liu Shi, the son of Xu Pingjun who was born in the people, a prince. Although Huo was annoyed by the open declaration of war, he was helpless. Who let her have no children? But she was still unwilling, and even tried to repeat the same mistake and poison the prince. At this time, Emperor Xian of Han had been prepared, and the food of the prince had been tried, so Huo's repeated poisoning failed. The plot failed, and the Huo family tried to launch a coup. The result did not succeed, but it led to genocide. Huo was deposed for murdering the prince and moved to Zhaotai Palace in Shanglinyuan. After living for twelve years, Huo committed suicide in the fourth year of Wufeng (the first 54 years). At this point, Emperor Gaozu Xuan Di finally avenged Xu Pingjun's death. It's a pity that a man can't come back from death, but the pain of lovelorn will accompany him all his life until he dies alone.
There are few true feelings in the palace, but the love between Emperor Gaozu Xuan Di and Xu Pingjun is not mixed with power, money and interests. Unfortunately, in the complicated court struggle, this relationship became a sad victim.
