Opening Chapter
In Chinese history, the status of women has always been relatively low. Especially in the ancient royal family, women were bound to the shackles of feudal ethics. However, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a woman relied on her wisdom and courage to become a highly respected lady. She is the wife of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Mrs. Wang’s background
Mrs. Wang, the wife of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was originally named Wang Zhengjun and was from Nanyang. Her grandfather and father were both Nanyang kings, so she received a good education at a young age. Mrs. Wang is smart, witty and knowledgeable, especially good at poetry and calligraphy. Before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, she was married to a man named Zhao Chang, but she divorced soon after.
The wisdom of Mrs. Wang
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, Mrs. Wang became his princess. In the palace, Mrs. Wang has always maintained an incorruptible style and does not participate in the intrigues of the palace. However, Mrs. Wang played an important role in the fight between Liu Ying and Liu Ruyi, the sons of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
At that time, both Liu Ying and Liu Ruyi wanted to inherit the throne of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the fight between them became increasingly fierce. Seeing this situation, Mrs. Wang came up with a clever plan. She asked Liu Ruyi's mother and Liu Ying's mother to play outside the palace together, and then sent people to surround them and prevent them from returning to the palace. In this way, both Liu Ruyi and Liu Ying had no backing, and Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to ask Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to make Liu Ying the crown prince.
Mrs. Wang’s Courage
In addition to wisdom, Mrs. Wang also possesses very strong courage. In the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he began to believe in Taoism, and this belief aroused resentment among many people. Among them, the biggest opponent was Huo Qubing, the general of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Huo Qubing believed that Taoism was a cult that would endanger the stability of the country and the happiness of the people.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard what Huo Qubing said, he was very angry and planned to expel him from the palace. After Mrs. Wang learned the news, she decided to speak out for Huo Qubing. She told Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Huo Qubing was a loyal general and his words must be out of concern for the country and the people. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty listened to Mrs. Wang's words and did not expel Huo Qubing from the palace.
Ending
The wisdom and courage of the wife of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty won her the respect and love of everyone. Her story tells us that women can also use their wisdom and strength to seek happiness and benefits for themselves and others in a male-dominated society.
