History live broadcast: the beginning is Qin Shihuang's live broadcast of the subjugation of th

"However, once the queen has no children and the other concubines are particularly fertile, then a classic palace fight will follow."

"This is basically the situation in the harem of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty."

"As the head wife, the queen has no children, but the other concubines have given birth to sixteen children to Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty!"

"In 156 BC, shortly after Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, in this year, among Liu Qi's concubine team, there was a beauty named Wang who was deeply loved by Liu Qi and gave birth to Liu Qi's tenth son."

"This child was the later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che."

"Liu Che's mother, Wang Quan, is also considered to be from a famous family. Although her father is an ordinary person, her mother, Zang'er, is the granddaughter of Zang Tu, King of Yan."

"Because Zang Tu participated in the rebellion and was killed, the Zang family also declined."

"Zang'er first married Wang Zhong from Huaili and gave birth to a son and two daughters, the eldest of whom was Wang Dan."

"After Wang Zhong died, Zang'er remarried to the Changling Tian family and gave birth to sons Tian Fu and Tian Sheng."

"Because his family was poor, Wang Quan married Jin Wangsun, a commoner, when he became an adult, and gave birth to his daughter Jin Su."

"Once, Wang Quan's mother Zang'er asked someone to tell the fortunes of her children. The fortune teller said: "Among your children, only Wang Quan has the fortune to be rich and noble. ""

"In order to change his fate, Zang'er forcibly took Wang Dan back from the Jinwang Sun family. When the Jin family came to make trouble, Zang'er kicked them out, and then used his connections to send Wang Dan to the crown prince's womb."

"The prince at that time was Liu Qi. Not only did he not dislike Wang Quan, a second-married woman, but he doted on her very much."

"Later, Wang Ao gave birth to three daughters for Liu Qi one after another. After she was pregnant with Liu Che, Wang Ao told Liu Qi that she dreamed of a sun falling into her belly."

"This laid the foundation of public opinion for later establishing Liu Che as the prince, and Liu Qi also said happily: "This is a sign of nobility!" After Liu Qi succeeded to the throne, Liu Che was born and was named King of Jiaodong."

"Although Wang Da was also favored at that time, she was not the most favored woman by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty."

"Even if the queen has no son, Liu Che still has nine brothers before him. According to the traditional succession system, Liu Che has absolutely no chance of being established as the prince."

"But what's interesting is that in the next few years, a series of coincidences happened, which finally pushed Liu Che to the position of prince."

"First of all, after Emperor Jing of Han came to the throne, because the queen never had children, Emperor Jing of Han did not establish a prince for several years."

"As a result, various forces began to fight openly and secretly around the matter of establishing a prince."

"Not only the concubines are trying their best to let their sons sit in this position, but also many ministers in the court are starting to take sides."

"After all, if a prince who is close to him becomes a prince, it will naturally be beneficial to a minister."

"However, what no one expected was that the first person to jump out and point out this contradiction was not the concubines, but the mother of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the then Empress Dowager Dou."

"Our dignified generation of Han virtuous empress actually has no stains, but she doesn't love her son very much, and even his father doesn't pay much attention to him. Why does Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty listen to his sister so much? The only family affection he had when he was a child seems to be his sister. accompany."

Guantao: My father puts my mother first, and my mother puts other women and children before us. My brother and I are worse than outsiders.

Liu Qi: If I hadn’t killed someone at that time, who would have taken the throne?
  "It's not just that I wasn't optimistic about my son in the early stage. When my son ascends the throne, he will be crown prince. Our Queen Mother is another slutty manipulator. Others vying for the prince's position are all supporting one of the emperor's sons. But this Queen Mother Dou supports He is Liu Qi’s younger brother, Empress Dowager Dou’s youngest son.”

"Although Empress Dowager Dou strongly supported her youngest son, Emperor Han Jing was relatively sober and finally resolved the problem skillfully." "However, the occurrence of this incident also made Emperor Han Jing realize that he needed to get rid of himself as soon as possible. Choose one of your sons to be the crown prince."

"But the question is, who to pick?"

"According to the traditional patriarchal inheritance system, if the legitimate wife or the queen has no son, then the eldest son will be the next in line."

"And Liu Rong, the eldest son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, is indeed a good child. The most important thing is that Liu Rong's biological mother Li Ji is very favored and deeply loved by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty."

"In this case, the problem seems to be solved. No matter from which angle you look at it, Liu Rong seems to be the best candidate for the crown prince."

"So, not long after, Liu Rong was successfully established as the crown prince and became the new generation of prince of the Han Dynasty."

"At this point, there seems to be no more suspense."

"No matter how you look at it, Liu Rong's position as crown prince seems to be as stable as Mount Tai and cannot be shaken at all."

"But what no one could have imagined is that Li Ji, who was originally Liu Rong's reliance, later became Liu Rong's biggest weakness."

"This Li Ji is indeed very good at fighting for favor, but when it comes to politics, she is almost completely clueless!"

"The second most powerful helper of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has appeared, and that is Li Ji."

"After Liu Rong was established as the crown prince, all parties naturally came to show their goodwill and wanted to establish a relationship with Liu Rong's mother and son. Among them, the elder sister of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Princess Guantao, was also a big help. "

"Li Ji is definitely the biggest helper. No one should refute this."

"Princess Guantao was also born to Empress Dowager Dou, and she and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty were real siblings."

"According to Empress Dowager Dou's protective character, after Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, Princess Guantao naturally received various titles."

"In order to consolidate her own power, Princess Guantao began to take the initiative to contact Li Ji and her son, and proposed to marry Li Ji, marry her daughter to Liu Rong, and make Liu Rong the crown prince."

"From a kinship perspective, the daughter of Princess Guantao should call Liu Rong her cousin."

"If this marriage was in modern times, it would definitely be illegal, but in the Han Dynasty, it was a typical 'kiss-to-kiss', and everyone liked it better."

"Moreover, Princess Guantao is extremely powerful, and Liu Rong needs to stabilize his position. This marriage is obviously a win-win deal."

"But what no one expected was that Li Ji refused such a marriage."

Li Si: Cough cough cough!

Liu Bang:? ? ? Refused?
  Guan Tao: It’s so mindless, and you still look down on my princess’s daughter.

Wu Qi: This is really ignorant!

"The reason for Li Ji's refusal is actually very simple."
