King Jing, do you know how many sons he has? King Jing of Zhongshan has more than 120 sons. We don’t know what descendants Liu Bei is from which son, King Jing of Zhongshan. But just that, Emperor Liu made a relative to Emperor Jing of Han, the son of Emperor Jing of Han. So people say that the Shu Han regime emphasizes its orthodox, but in fact, we say that Emperor Jing of Han is already prolific enough. With fourteen sons, King Jing of Zhongshan is even more powerful, and he gave birth to more than 120 sons. There are two other concubines, Li Ji and Cheng Ji each gave birth to three sons. Finally, there is the mother of Emperor Wu of Han. She has a sister named Wang Erge, and she also sent it to Taizhang. They are two sisters.

All of them were Emperor Jing's concubines, and she gave birth to four sons. So in this way, Emperor Jing of Han had fourteen sons. Among these fourteen sons, Emperor Wu of Han was not ranked high. The ten emperors, in the ancient feudal society of China, everyone knows that there are two principles. One is called Li Zhen and the other is called Li Chang. This obvious Liu Yu is not among them. How did he jump from the ten emperors to the crown prince? This involves five women. His transformation from the ten emperors to the crown prince is the final result of the five women's competition. So who are these five women and how they compete for the position of this crown prince, let's introduce them one by one below.

Voiceover: In the inheritance system of emperors in ancient Chinese feudal society, it was generally the legitimate and eldest son who were crowned as the crown prince. Liu Yu, who ranked tenth, would not be his turn to be crown prince no matter what. Since the crown prince could not be, let alone the emperor, but history would also make jokes. Liu Yu became the emperor. So why did fate favor this tenth Liu Yu? Are the nine brothers above Liu Yu willing to automatically give up the position of crown prince? In Mr. Wang Liqun's years of study of "Records of the Grand Historian", who thought that the young Liu Yu had pushed the throne of the emperor? How did Sima Qian record this complicated process in "Records of the Grand Historian-Family Family"?

The first woman, Empress Bo, was the first empress of Emperor Jing of Han. Empress Bo was designated by his grandmother when Emperor Jing of Han became the crown prince.

Who is his grandmother? His grandmother is Empress Dowager Bo. This Empress Dowager Bo was originally a concubine of Wei Bao, the king of Wei Bao, and he was one of his concubines. Later, Wei Bao was defeated by Liu Bang, and Wei Bao was finally killed in Xingyang. After Wei Bao was killed, his concubine Bo Ji was taken in by Liu Bang. However, when Liu Bang first took her in, she was very low and she was just a female worker, an ordinary female worker. Later, Liu Bang discovered that this female worker, Bo Ji, was still very beautiful in an unexpected event.

, so she picked her out of the ranks of female workers and selected her into her own harem. After being selected into the harem, Liu Bang did not favor this Bo Ji because there were more women in Liu Bang's harem, two of whom were Bo Ji's good friends back then. These two women laughed at this Bo Ji while chatting together. Because the three of them were very good when they were young, they said that no matter who was favored by the emperor in the future, they must not forget the other two partners. As a result, they were favored by Liu Bang one after another, so she

When the two of them talked about Bo Ji, they were laughing at him. Liu Bang heard this. When Liu Bang heard it, he asked what was going on. The two concubines told him about this story. After that, Liu Bang felt very sympathetic to Bo Ji. He thought that the three of them were very good, and the two were favored. Only Bo Ji was still in the harem, so he summoned Bo Ji and asked her to sleep with her. Bo Ji turned out to be unknown in the harem. With such an opportunity, she was also a very unrespected person.

.But she was very good at talking after seeing Liu Bang that night. She said that I dreamed of Canglong's belly last night, but I dreamed of a dragon on my stomach. Originally, Liu Bang summoned her because she was pitying her, but when she saw Liu Bang, she said this, we don't know whether Bo Ji was true or false. However, after these words, Liu Bang was very happy. Because of this night stand, Bo Ji was very lucky, and she became pregnant. She was born as Liu Heng, the fourth son of Liu Bang's eight sons, and this was her first lucky.

What is the second luck? When Liu Bang was alive, Liu Bang never summoned this Bo Ji except to summon her this time. Therefore, Empress Lu knew that among the many concubines in Liu Bang's harem, this Bo Ji was the least favored person. So as soon as Liu Bang passed away and Empress Lu took power, she locked all the concubines Liu Bang favored back then in the palace, and no one was allowed to come out, but Bo Ji let her go. She thought she was an insignificant person, so she let her go, where was she let her go? She lived with her son, Da Wang Liu Heng, which was her second luck.

The third lucky thing is that when Empress Lu persecuted the princes of the Liu surname in the seventh year of Gaohou, Liu Heng escaped. This was what we talked about in the "Empress Lu" series. Of course, Liu Heng escaped and Bo Ji also escaped. This is the third luck.

The fourth luck, we talked about the episode "The Elimination of Zhulu" that King Liu Xiang of Qi raised an army, Zhou Bo, Chen Ping, and Liu Zhang destroyed all Zhulu in the capital. Originally, who was the one who destroyed Zhulu was the one who made the greatest contribution? It was King Liu Xiang of Qi and his younger brother Liu Zhang who made the greatest contribution, but in the end, the ministers were unwilling to establish Liu Xiang and Liu Zhang. Because Liu Xiang and Liu Zhang were the sons of Liu Fei, they were very young and capable, and the ministers felt that it was inconvenient to control them after they came to power. The unknown Dai King Liu Heng, the ministers thought he was very honest and easy to control, so they took Liu Hengli for the successor emperor, and he was Emperor Wen of Han. So the fourth lucky point was that Bo Ji's son, when others were expelling Zhulu and fighting bloody battles, he rested in Dai. When the other person had finished eliminating Zhulu, he was welcomed back to become the emperor.

Bo Ji was very lucky to be the Empress Dowager, but Bo Ji, who became the Empress Dowager, began to change. The first thing she thought of was to make her family rich. In this regard, she almost had the same problem as Empress Lu. Her son, she could no longer control her, so she considered her grandson, her grandson, and her grandson was the crown prince at that time. When Emperor Jing of Han was the crown prince, Empress Dowager Bo chose a crown princess for her grandson, and chose the granddaughter of their Bo family.

What is the prospect of the Crown Princess? The Crown Prince will become the emperor in the future, and the Crown Prince's concubine will be the queen in the future. She has been the queen, and she knows that the queen is very noble, and she also wants her granddaughter to be the queen, and she has the same problem with Empress Lu. Empress Lu did not give the special partner of the Liu family with the surname Lu, but Liu Lu's partner. The same is true for this Empress Dowager Bo. She picked out the granddaughter of her Bo family to make this Liu Bo. In fact, Emperor Jing of Han did not like the one she chose for him.

The concubine, but there is no way, this is the old empress. In that era, if he did not obey, he might have lost the position of crown prince, so he accepted it. After Emperor Jing of Han ascended the throne, the princess was promoted to the queen naturally, which was Empress Bo. This Empress Bo was indeed in poor life. Because Empress Bo gave Emperor Jing of Han as the crown prince, and later promoted to the queen, there were no children during the period when she was promoted to the queen. We just introduced that Emperor Jing of Han was fourteen sons, from six concubines

, Only this authentic queen has no son. A genuine queen has no prince. And six concubines have fourteen sons, which brings a very complicated situation. This formed such a situation in the palace of Emperor Jing of Han. The queen has no sons, while the other six concubines have fourteen sons. So can the position of this queen be maintained for a long time? After all, Emperor Jing of Han wanted to establish a crown prince after he ascended the throne, so this palace dispute was triggered because the Bo Queen had no sons.

Voiceover: Mr. Wang Liqun just said that during the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, Emperor Jing did not like the Queen Bo assigned by his grandmother, which led to the Queen Bo without favor or son. In this way, Emperor Jing of Han had the possibility of being made the crown prince. Mr. Wang Liqun believed that according to the feudal emperor inheritance system, the establishment of the crown prince was generally to establish the legitimate and the chief. Liu Yu, the tenth-ranked Liu Yu, had no hope of being made the crown prince at all. So how would the fate of the young Liu Yu develop? Who would be the second woman who affected the fate of the young Liu Yu?

The second woman, Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi is the biological mother of Emperor Wu of Han. This woman is a very critical woman who influenced Emperor Wu of Han to take the position of emperor. The woman's experience is unusual.

Let’s talk about Wang Zhi, first of all, start with Wang Zhi’s mother. Wang Zhi’s mother is Zang'er, and the historical records are called Zang'er. Who is Zang'er? Zang'er was when Xiang Yu enfeoffed the 18 princes and kings of Yan, Zang'er, once a title of King Zang Tu. King Yan, Zang Tu, was one of the 18 princes and kings conferred by Xiang Yu. Later, he surrendered to the Han Dynasty. In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, Zang Tu rebelled again and was pacified by Liu Bang, so the Zang Tu family disappeared. Zang'er was the granddaughter of King Yan, Zang Tu, and the granddaughter of King Yan, and her family once had a prominent past. Moreover, Zang'er's marriage experience was also very bumpy. Zang'er's first husband was married to a family named Wang, and this person was named Wang Zhong, who married Wang Zhong's family. After Zang'er married Wang Zhong, he gave birth to three children, a boy Wang Xin, two daughters, Wang Xiao and Wang Erwei. Wang Xiao was later me

The birth mother of Emperor Wu of Han mentioned, but after giving birth to a son and two daughters, it was very unfortunate that Zang'er's husband Wang Zhong died. This led to Zang'er remarrying again. After remarrying, Zang'er married to whom Zang'er's family, a family with the surname Tian. When they arrived at the Tian family, she gave birth to two more sons, Tian Fu and Tian Sheng. Everyone knows in the story of "The Great Emperor of Han" that there is a prime minister Tian Fu, which is this Tian Fu. He gave birth to two sons, one Tian Fu and the other Tian Sheng. In this way, Zang'er married twice and gave birth to five children. From Zang'er's remarrying, we can see that the customs of the Han Dynasty were relatively relaxed for women's marriage, and women remarrying casually. This loss of husband, divorce, and remarrying is very common, and Zang'er's view of marriage has affected her guidance on her daughter's marriage and her daughter's grasp of marriage.

In her early years, Wang Shi was married under the auspices of her mother. Where did she marry? He married a Jin Wangsun family. He married into the Jin Wangsun family and had already given birth to a daughter. When Wang Shi gave birth to her first daughter, her mother told Zang'er that the fortune teller told Zang'er that he said four words, saying that two daughters should be noble, and that your two daughters will be rich and noble in the future. Zang'er believed in this hexagram very much. How much did she believe in it?

Her youngest daughter has not yet been married, her eldest daughter has been married and has children. Zang'er decided to take Wang Shi from Jin Wangsun's house. Moreover, the history books do not record how she did this. I think it is difficult to do this. What is the difficulty of her? Because her daughter is already married, everyone knows that people have a kind of inertia, especially girls, as wives, mothers, and having married and having children. She has a

Inertia of life, it is very difficult for you to ask her to get out of it and come out again. At that time, Zang'er made a decision based on this hexagram, asking Wang'er to come out, and then took Wang'er away. Moreover, the Jin Wangsun disagreed. The Jin Wangsun had a long time of trouble, but this matter was still impossible to turn it off, and it finally came out. After coming out, Zang'er not only took her daughter out of the Jin Wangsun's house, but also sent her daughter to the palace of the prince (Emperor Jing of Han). This is incredible to think about today. I would never dare to reveal her previous marriage history. She would never say that if she had been married and had a child, she would send it to Taizhan, I think the prince (Emperor Jing of Han) would not accept it. This must have concealed this marriage history. Then she sent it to Taizhan, and it was very unexpectedly successful.

Voiceover: Zang'er, who once had a glorious family history, was unwilling to bet on her daughter. She risked the extermination of the clan and deceiving the king and forced a daughter to the palace. As the saying goes, once she entered the marquis’ family, she was as deep as the sea. Can her daughter Wang Shi be favored by the prince as Zang'er imagined? Can Zang'er win this bet?

Judging from the fact that Wang Shi got married to the Jin Wangsun, her mother took her out and sent her to Tai* Middle School, there are at least a few points on this person:

First, coldness. Think about it, as a mother, she was able to cut off the relationship between mother and daughter and came out resolutely. When she came out, she was not sure that she would definitely enter Tai*. She faced many variables. First, whether she could enter Tai*. Second, whether the hexagram that tells the fortune is effective is true. These are all unknowns. If you send it to Tai*, you can get the favor of the prince. None of these are known. Just after her mother said that, Wang Shi came out resolutely. This is what I mean by this woman, at least, is very cold.

Second, she is ambitious. Wang Shi is a very ambitious person. She is not satisfied with living such an ordinary life in the Jin Wangsun family. She wants to have a bright future.

Third, Wang Shi is adventurous. Look at how much risk she takes. What would happen if her marriage history is reported? I'm afraid it's too late to stay, and the Jin Wangsun family will not ask for it anymore. In this way, she went to the prince's palace. Her mother Zang'er not only sent Wang Shi to the palace, but also sent Wang Shi, an unmarried sister Wang Erwei into the palace, which means that she sent both of her daughters to the palace of Emperor Wen of Han (Emperor Jing of Han) to serve this one.

The prince, this prince was later Emperor Jing of Han. So, we are not focusing on Zang'er today, but Zang'er is not simple. Just as we are today's insurance, she has two insurances. Because no matter which of her two daughters is favored, she will be a winner in the future. If both daughters are favored, she is a big winner. This is a bold move by her mother. As a result, she will be favored after being sent to Taizhang.

Yes, let's look at the result. After Wang Zhi was sent to the palace, he gave birth to one dragon and three phoenixes, one prince and three princesses. Her sister Wang Erwei was even more amazing. She gave birth to four princes. So among the fourteen sons of Emperor Jing of Han, Zang'er's two daughters gave birth to five princes. Of course, there is a condition here, which is not mentioned in history books, but I think there is a necessary condition here, that is, both of her daughters must be very beautiful, and this is probably a matter of self-evident.

The conditions of the metaphor. Think about the Wang Shi getting married, having children, taking her out, and sending her into the country. He was favored by the prince and gave birth to another dragon and three phoenix. If Wang Shi and her sister gave birth to four, she also gave birth to four. If these two daughters were not very beautiful, it would be difficult to achieve this. Of course, Zang'er dared to bet on this, so she bet on the beauty of her two daughters. This bet was successful.

Voiceover: Zang'er's adventure finally succeeded. Her two daughters were very successful in entering Taizha and both gave birth to a prince. Emperor Wu of Han was born under such circumstances. There are different versions of legends about the birth of Emperor Wu. This gave the emperor a lot of mysterious colors. So how did Sima Qian record the birth of this emperor in "Records of the Grand Historian"?

Wang Shi soon became pregnant after entering the palace. During the pregnancy, Wang Shi told the prince that she had a dream. What was this dream? It was called Sun Ting's arms, which means that she dreamed that a sun fell into her belly. This dream was very strange. In ancient China, like other nations in the world, our ancestors had always worshipped the sun. Today, we still use the sun to describe the emperor, so she told the prince that the prince said at that time that this was a noble victory, and this was a

A very noble sign. However, "the sun is in his arms" to dream of this dream, I think there may be these three possibilities: one is that Wang Shi is self-deprecating and his son. In our society, we rarely encounter any pregnant person dreaming of the sun falling into his stomach, because there is no such thing now that we can be emperors, and we will not dream of this sun. So I think this dream of the sun is likely to be Wang Shi is self-deprecating and his son herself. Because her son will become emperor later. Another one is that she dreams of the sun.

, It is possible that later generations deified Liu Luo. Because later her son became emperor, later generations agreed that she was in love with her. Another thing is that both of them are possible. There are both deifications of Wang Shi and deifications of later generations. Moreover, when we talked about Xiang Yu and Empress Lu, I did not mention unofficial history. However, Emperor Wu of Han, there are two unofficial histories about Emperor Wu of Han: one is called "The Story of Han Wu" and the other is called "The Biography of Emperor Wu of Han". This "The Biography of Emperor Wu of Han" is even more amazing, saying that

What is it? It is said that Emperor Jing of Han had a dream. He dreamed that a goddess took a sun and sent it to Wang Shi. It was Wang Meiren's mouth. Wang Meiren swallowed the sun. After swallowing the sun, she became pregnant for fourteen months and gave birth to a child. Of course, the statement "The Biography of Emperor Wu of Han" is unreliable, but the "Day of the Sun" is recorded in "Records of the Grand Historian" and "Book of Han" and "Book of the Foreign Relatives". This is true. But I think this is really related to Wang Shi's own momentum.

Under such a background, Liu Luo was born, and her mother was such an extraordinary woman. So by the time Liu Luo was four years old, that is, the fourth year before Emperor Jing of Han, Liu Luo was made King Jiaodong. While conferring Liu Luo as King Jiaodong, Emperor Jing of Han also conferred his eldest son Liu Rong as the crown prince. The first purpose of Wang Zhi entering the palace was to achieve it. She entered the palace and gave birth to a dragon son, and was named King again. However, Wang Zhi's ambition did not end here, because after all, the gap between the position of King Jiaodong and the crown prince is still too much.
