Empress Lu's "viciousness" is famous in history.

In order to fulfill her own desires, she arranged the marriage of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty Liu Ying and let her niece Zhang Yan marry her uncle.

Why did Queen Lu organize such an incestuous marriage?

In this marriage tragedy, why is Zhang Yan known as the miserable queen who was a virgin all her life in history?

The Empress Lu scandal was exposed. When Liu Bang died, Liu Yuxin was only 16 years old.

With the support of her mother, Empress Lu, Liu Ying finally ascended the throne and became emperor.

However, at this time, something happened that made Empress Dowager Lu sleepless.

Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty arrested a prince for trial and sentenced him to death for bullying the emperor's younger brother.

It turned out that this food critic was Empress Lu's concubine.

At that time, when Queen Lu was in the Chu army's camp, Lu Pheasant hooked up with the food judge who was arrested together.

After Liu Bang became emperor, he often ignored Lu Fei, so she was still lonely. She still kept in touch with Shen Shiqi.

After Liu Bang's death, Queen Lu took over the power of the court, and she became even more unbridled.

She openly named him the gourmet judge and even kept him in the bedroom overnight.

As early as when Emperor Hui was still a prince, he heard about what his mother had done, but when his father was still there, his status as a prince was not stable.

If such a scandal spread, it would be extremely detrimental to me, so I had to pretend not to know.

Now that I am the emperor, when I see Empress Lu and his censorship, I can't help but feel shame and hatred.

I couldn't wait for the opportunity to examine his mutilated body.

Finally one day, he caught a mistake in judging food, sentenced him to deceive the emperor and violated the law, and wanted to take this opportunity to kill him.

Empress Lu wanted to save Shen Shiqi, so she instructed Zhu Jian to rescue Shen Shiqi.

At this time, the young Emperor Hui fell in love with a eunuch of his own age, and Emperor Hui regarded him as his partner.

The two were inseparable all day long, and Emperor Hui listened to him very much.

Zhu Jian then used this eunuch to rescue Shen Shiqi.

He told the eunuch straight to the point: "Shen Shiqi is the Queen Mother's favorite person. Now the emperor wants to kill him. If there is no way to save him, the Queen Mother will definitely kill the emperor's favorite person for revenge. If Shen Shiqi dies, the next one will die.

It's you!" When the eunuch heard this, he was very frightened.

Zhu Jian said to him: "The emperor is soft-hearted. As long as you ask him, the emperor will not kill easily. As long as he survives, he will be grateful to you and the Queen Mother will like you, so you will have a future." Later, in

Under the eunuch's plea, the kind-hearted Emperor Hui finally released his flavor.

After this incident, Empress Lu Fei felt that the emperor was becoming more and more difficult to control.

She tried every means to control Emperor Hui firmly in her hands, so she decided to find a queen for the emperor and control Emperor Hui through the queen.

Queen Lu manipulated the twisted marriage.

Queen Lu thought about it and decided to marry her granddaughter Zhang Yan, the daughter of Princess Lu Yuan, the sister of Emperor Hui, to Emperor Hui.

Of course, Emperor Hui did not agree with this marriage, and Princess Luyuan did not want to marry her daughter to her brother.

Both felt very uncomfortable and thought it was incest.

In order to achieve her own goals, the Queen Mother threatened her children with life and death.

Princess Luyuan said: "Zhang Yan is only 9 years old, and she is still a naive child. She has never heard of anything between men and women, so why should her mother be forced to fight for life and death? My uncle and niece made peace. Originally,

It's a morally corrupt thing that only animals can do. Now, isn't my brother being laughed at by the whole world for marrying his niece?" Lu was furious and scolded his daughter at the top of his lungs.

Under Empress Lu's coercion and inducement, Emperor Hui of Han and Princess Luyuan finally had to agree to the marriage.

Because this marriage was neither fish nor fowl, Emperor Hui was unwilling to publicize it or even bother to participate, leaving everything to the Queen Mother.

On the day of the dowry, at the Queen Mother's repeated urging, Emperor Hui rode a horse to his sister's house for the first time.

At Empress Lu's urging, the wedding was held as soon as the engagement ceremony ended.

After the ceremony, Xiao Zhang Yan and her uncle entered the bridal chamber together.

At this time, Zhang Yan was only a 10-year-old girl.

An ill-matched pair.

Two years later, Zhang Yan gradually grew up and her body developed to a certain extent, so Empress Lu often sent people to monitor the private lives of the emperor and empress.

She changed her past attitude and ignored the emperor's nightlife, and urged Emperor Hui to sleep with the queen.

Empress Lu's urging further strengthened Emperor Hui's determination not to touch the queen. This rebellious mentality gave him a sense of revenge.

Queen Lu's purpose is to hope that the queen can give birth to a prince as soon as possible, so that her country will have a successor and she will have the opportunity to control the imperial power.

Empress Lu often asked Zhang Yan: "Has the emperor slept with you? Are you pregnant?" Zhang Yan was a precocious child.

Two years of palace life made her understand a lot.

She was very shy at first, but gradually became less afraid to ask questions.

She calmly kept lying to Queen Lu, "Don't worry about sharing a room." In fact, the only roommate was that misunderstanding.

Zhang Yan knew that the emperor was more of a de facto uncle than a husband in name.

A Virgin Queen for Life As for her only son, Queen Lu cared more about power than his health.

Seeing that the emperor's body was falling apart but he still had no children, Queen Lu couldn't help but worry.

Surveillance reports from his subordinates had already proved that the emperor rarely stayed with the empress, and Zhang Yan's repeated claims that she had slept together also aroused Empress Lu's suspicion.

In order to let the queen give birth to a prince, Queen Lu called the emperor and the queen together and said viciously that if the queen could not get pregnant, she would kill every maid the emperor came into contact with.

Emperor Hui was even more angry, but there was nothing he could do.
