Wang Yi, the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, is a hidden game master, but she can become a queen from a second-married woman.

Liu Che, who once declared loudly that "a golden house hides a charming woman", has a "pure" mother. Wang Hao was born in a non-rich family. Although his ancestors were sealed by Xiang Yu, they were later defeated by Liu Bang. But Wang Yi has an ambitious mother, Zanger, who is unwilling to be a village woman all her life, so she plans a bright future for her daughter.

However, at this time, Wang Yi was married and had a daughter. In this regard, Wang Hao has no idea. Although the husband didn't do much and lived a poor life for a few days, his mother Zanger was thinking about how to develop all day. Therefore, if you ask a fortune teller, people will say: Your two daughters have a good life, and they are both rich and expensive.

Although Zange believes it, it doesn't look like his eldest daughter has a rich future. Therefore, Zanger thought of a way: breaking off the engagement. Originally, Wang Miao lived a quiet life in her husband's family, but Zange suddenly made such a request, which made her husband feel unreasonable and decisively refused.

In this regard, how can Zange give up?

She knows that to live a good life, she has to rely on her daughter. So Wang Miao was quietly sent to Chang 'an and stuffed into the palace of the Prince, but Wang Miao was just an ordinary maid-in-waiting.

Wang Hao has experienced personnel and knows what his mother thinks. If he were just an ordinary imperial secretary, he wouldn't have to bother. Therefore, Wang Hao was very competitive and quickly attracted the attention of others. Later, he gave birth to three daughters. But if there is no son in the harem, there is no confidence in speaking.

So, Wang Hao thought of a way to bring his sister Wang Erxuan into the harem. Wang Erxuan is really amazing. She gave birth to four sons. However, Wang Erjuan died shortly after giving birth to her fourth son. At this time, Liu Yuxin had six sons, but they were all ordinary. Yu Ji's eldest son is Liu Qi's favorite, while the crown princess Bo has no children and can't get Liu Qi's favor.

Soon, Wang Hao was pregnant again. At this time, she told Liu Qi that it was a little special this time, and dreamed that a big sun had entered her stomach. After Liu Qi heard this, he was naturally happy and thought it must be a good sign.

Before long, Liu Qi's father Han Wendi died, and Liu Qi became emperor, namely Han Jingdi. Soon, Wang Hao really gave birth to a son, the first prince born after Liu Qi proclaimed himself emperor. He was the later emperor Liu Che. But there are so many brothers in front of the prince that it is too difficult for him to be an emperor.

At that time, no one could have predicted that Liu Che would be the next successor. Imagine that there are a group of brothers in front of Liu Che. Although my mother is favored, her status is not too high. She is a "beauty" and her family has no strength. However, anything can be rewritten before the last minute.

Since the queen had no son, Liu Qi made Liu Rong, the eldest son, a prince according to the ancestral system. At this time, Liu Qi's sister Guan Tao princess royal Liu Pu began to plan for her daughter Chen Ajiao.

Because Liu Piao wants her daughter to be queen so badly, the only way is to marry the prince. Now that the prince has been chosen, everything will be fine as long as his parents don't object.

However, Guantao princess royal cares about his brother's harem life on weekdays, so he will put some beauties in if he has nothing to do. In this regard, Liu Rong's biological mother, Li Ji, was extremely disgusted, unwilling to marry her in-laws, and showed no mercy and refused directly. However, princess royal, the master of pottery, is not a good thing either. In her opinion, it is most important for her daughter to be a queen. As for who the prince is, the conditions are right. As a result, Guantao princess royal began to secretly plot to abolish Rong's position.

You know, Liu Qi still has so many sons, so Guantao princess royal can choose the future son-in-law from the rest of the governors. Although Liu Che is younger than Chen Ajiao, he has shown his wisdom beyond his peers at an early age. Besides, his mother's position in the harem is not high. In the eyes of Guantao princess royal, the princess should not refuse this marriage.

How could Wang Hao refuse? As long as he marries the princess, his son may get the throne, which is a great good thing. Once it comes true, wealth is beyond people's imagination. However, Liu Rong was abolished, which was also related to Liu Qi's dislike of him. Although Liu Qi likes Li Ji, he doesn't have much love for Liu Rong.

Actually, this is the result of comparison. Look at the emperors who had many children and grandchildren. At first, they were very satisfied with their eldest son. After all, this is their first son. But with the increase of sons, my favorite concubines have also changed, and gradually, a lot of satisfaction has turned into dissatisfaction.

Imagine, with a character like Liu Che, the rest of the brothers can only stand aside. Liu Che's later achievements also made later generations directly put a high hat on him-an emperor through the ages. In fact, Liu Che's achievements should be based on the accumulation of his ancestors. By the time he came to power, the conditions were just right, and he managed the country well, which made many things solved satisfactorily.

Although Liu Rong was abolished, according to common sense, he was not Liu Che at all, and there were five brothers in front of him. But Liu Qi's mother Dou Taihou and sister Guantao princess royal are too tough. Finally, under the double pressure, Liu Che was made a prince. But the precondition is: Wang Yi is the queen and Liu Che is the son, so it can be justified.

Wang Hao is really expensive.

In fact, it can be seen from this history that women in the Han Dynasty were very powerful. After marrying a woman, she can enter the palace again to be a queen, and the power of her consorts determines who will be a prince. Later, Liu Che killed Mrs Gou Jian, probably because she didn't want her consorts to interfere with the royal family too much. However, the history after the Han Dynasty still failed to get rid of consorts.
