Yang Yan (238-274), whose real name is Qiongzhi, was born in Huayin, Hongnong (now Huayin, Shaanxi), the daughter of Yang Wenzong, an official of Cao Wei, and the emperor and empress of Jin Dynasty. Yang Yan's parents died when she was young, and she was raised by her uncle Zhao Jun. When she grew up, she lived alone with her stepmother Duan. Yang Yan was smart and wise since childhood, good at calligraphy, born with beauty and good at * * *. When Emperor Wu of Jin was a prince, he hired Yang Yan. His father is Yang Wenzong, and Cao Wei is an official with a distinguished family background. However, when Yang Yan was young, she experienced the pain of losing her mother. Later, because her father remarried her stepmother, she was sent to my uncle's house to raise her. When she grew up, she lived with her stepmother Although she has no worries about food and clothing, she also knows that her warmth and coldness are far from the children taken care of by her biological mother. Later, when she became a queen, Yang Yan felt insecure and only worked for herself, which may be related to her young experience.
In the first year of Taishi, Sima Yan established the Jin Dynasty, and in the second year, Yang Yanli became the queen. Sima Yan still loves his married couple very much after Deng Ji. Yang Guifei bore him three sons and three daughters. Sima Gui, the eldest son, mourned for King Piling and died young. The second son, Sima Zhong, was born mentally retarded, while the third son, Qin Sima Cambodia, was very clever. The other three daughters are Princess Pingyang, Princess Xinfeng and Princess Yangping.
In the tenth year of Taishigong, Queen Yang died of illness at the age of 37, and was buried in Yu Ling, Queen Wu Yuan of posthumous title. Ten years after the beginning of Thailand, Queen Yang became ill, but she was still unwilling to be replaced by other concubines. On her deathbed, she begged Sima Yan to marry her cousin Yang Zhi as queen. Sima Yan couldn't bear to see Yang Yan dying and agreed, so Yang Yan's sister Yang Zhi appeared in front of people.
Yang Zhi, the second queen of Sima Yan.
Yang Zhi was born about four years in Ganlu (259) and was the cousin of Yang Yan, the first queen of Sima Yan. In 274, Yang Yan, the queen of Wu Yuan, was critically ill, favored by Hu, and the prince was stupid. Yang Yan was afraid that Hu would take a back seat after her death, which was bad for the prince. Before she died, she cried and begged Emperor Wu to set up a cousin after her death, and Emperor Wu agreed to leave with satisfaction. In the second year of Xianning (276), Yang Zhi was made queen. At this point, Sima Yan has long been addicted to women.
But after Yang Zhi, who just turned eighteen, entered the palace, Sima Yan still liked her very much, because she was beautiful, innocent, gentle and virtuous, and her reputation spread in the harem. Soon, she gave birth to a prince, Si Mahui, the king of the Bohai Sea.
Unfortunately, her son Si Mahui died when she was two years old. Yang Zhi can only rely on her husband Sima Yan and her father Yang Jun, but she knows that her father has no talent and reputation, so I'm afraid it's hard to count on. Unexpectedly, Sima Yan took a fancy to Yang Jun's incompetence, which did not pose a threat to himself, but made him more important. This caused the dissatisfaction of Crown Princess Jia Nanfeng. Yang Jun not only didn't step down from the high position, but seriously handled political affairs for Sima Zhong.
In the first year of Yongping (29 1), Jia Nanfeng instigated Sima Yi, the king of Chu, to launch an armed coup in the imperial court. On March 8th of the same year, Jia Nanfeng instructed his friends to write to Sima Zhong and framed Yang Jun for rebellion. Sima Zhong immediately announced the revocation of all official positions of Yang Jun.
It is said that the queen mother and conspired to imprison Yang Zhi in the name of Sima Zhong. She ordered her people to write a letter demanding the depose of the Empress Dowager and the demotion of Yang Zhi to Shu Ren. This is not the worst. Yang Zhi lost the dependence of her husband and father, and the family went from being rich to being down and out and suffered humiliation. Later, the Yang family was wiped out by the three clans, and Yang Zhi's mother Ponzi survived the death and was allowed to live with Yang Zhi. After Ponzi's death, Yang Zhi was escorted back to Jinyong City.
Jia Nanfeng then dismissed all her chamberlains and imperial secretaries and refused to give Yang Zhi food. Finally, Yang Zhi, who had not eaten for eight days in a row, starved to death on February 1 (March 6) in the second year of Yuankang (292) at the age of 34.
