We know that the concept of virginity of feudal women was often very heavy. In particular, women who are widowed or go through a breakup often can only stay there for the rest of their lives. However, in many dynasties, there were Emperor willing to marry many married women, even with children. Why did the emperors accept this?
Inciting a Divorce PRINCE
That is the story of Hieu Canh Vuong Queentaste Queen 2nd of Emperor of Han Jing Luu Khai. She is also the mother of Emperor Wu of Han Luu Triet. In the “History” and “The Book of the Han”, the empress Xiaojing, also known as Wang’s wife, was known as Wang Zhi, who lived in the village of Hoali in Youfufeng, a place located in present-day Shaanxi province. Before entering the palace with Crown Prince Luu Khai (aka Han Canh De) later, she had 1 husband and 1 child.

The posterity wondered why Emperor Han Canh would accept a married woman? In fact, in the Han Dynasty, this phenomenon was very common. At the time of the Han emperors was just the beginning of feudal society, the rules were just beginning to be built, so the society was not too strict with women. The people of that time did not place much emphasis on the concept of virginity. Women at that time could remarry without having to be told. Therefore, even though Vuong Thi was married and had children, she could still enter the harem to serve the crown prince.
It wasn’t until the Song Dynasty that the theory of “Lyricism” inherited and built by Zhou Xi became the dominant ideology of China’s autocratic periods. At that time, it was almost impossible for a woman in the Song Dynasty to remarry when her husband died or after a divorce.
Back to the main story, Vuong Thi is the grandson of Yen Vuong Tang Do. During the Han Dynasty, Vuong Thi was married to Kim Vuong Ton, who lived near her home. Kim Vuong Ton is just a person with an ordinary family background, while Vuong Thi’s family has a noble background, although his family background has somewhat declined. After that, she gave birth to a daughter named Kim Tuc.

One day, Wang’s father invited a fortune teller to see the family’s fortunes. This fortune-teller said that Vuong Thi has a rich and rich destiny, and will surely become famous in the future. Therefore, Vuong Thi’s father decided to call his daughter home, requesting a divorce from Kim Vuong Ton. However, the Kim family refused to agree, and Wang’s father had to keep his daughter at home.
After that, Vuong Thi’s father let him enter the palace of Crown Prince Luu Khai. Vuong Thi was ordained as a beauty. Beautiful Vuong is very much loved by Luu Khai, he is constantly market Therefore, Vuong Thi gave birth to the crown prince 3 consecutively Princess.
In the 7th year of Emperor Van De Hau Nguyen, Emperor Han passed away, Luu Khai took the throne and took the title Han Canh De. He made Bo Thi as queen, and Vuong Thi as his wife. After that, she gave birth to the 11th prince – Liu Che, and also her only son.
Using a plan to bring your child to the throne
When Luu Che was 4 years old, Emperor Han Canh was crowned Emperor Giao Dong. According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, the mother of the vassal kings was only granted the title of empress dowager after the death of the emperor, but the wife of Wang was specially given the title of Queen Mother of Giao Dong. And it was also thanks to the support of his mother that Liu Che easily ascended the throne even though the crown prince at that time was Luu Vinh.
According to Han Vu’s story, at that time, Princess Quan Dao, sister and mother of Han Canh Emperor wanted to marry her daughter, Tran Thi, to Crown Prince Luu Vinh, but the crown prince’s mother rudely refused. Therefore, the princess turned to propose to marry the Queen Mother of Giao Dong. The crown prince’s mother trusted to be favored, so she was proud. The princess took the opportunity to disparage Han Canh De, making the king uncomfortable.

The princess teamed up with Queen Mother Giao Dong to find a way to overthrow Lich Co. The one-sided princess often praised Liu Che in front of Emperor Han Jing. On the other hand, she and Empress Dowager Giao Dong instigated the great minister to present a report to Han Canh De to propose that Lich Co be made empress. Emperor Jing thought that the ministers were instigated by Lich Co, so they ordered her to be executed and deposed the crown prince. After that, Vuong Thi was made the Queen Mother and made Liu Che the Crown Prince.
In 141 BC, Emperor Han Jing died, Liu Che ascended the throne, claiming to be Emperor Wu of Han. The Queen Queen was honored as the Empress Dowager. In the 3rd year of Nguyen Soc (126 BC), Empress Dowager Vuong Thi took an oath and was interred with Emperor Han Canh in Duong Lang, posthumously titled Empress Hieu Canh.
As for the stepdaughter of Empress Dowager Wang, it was not until later that the great minister Han Yen reported to Emperor Han Vu. The Emperor heard the news and immediately ordered the car to bring him to the palace and present himself. Later, Emperor Wu gave his sister 10,000 yuan, 100 servants, and 100 acres of land. Besides, he also bestowed on his sister the title of Tu Thanh Quan.
