Zhao is beautiful and slim. The so-called "Yan is thin and fat" refers to Zhao, who is a superb dancer. Her real name can't be verified, because she is very light, as light as a swallow, and can do "palm dance", so she is called "swallow".
According to Hanshu, Zhao Yi was abandoned by his parents at birth, but three days later, the baby was still alive. Her parents were surprised and took it home to continue feeding. When she grew up, Zhao was sent to Princess Yang's house to study dance and vocal music. Because of Zhao's intelligence, he soon stood out among many dancers and was nicknamed "Yan Fei". When Liu Ao, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty traveling incognito, saw Zhao in the Princess House, he liked her very much, so he put her in the palace and named her Jieyu.
Because of his excellent singing and dancing skills and graceful dancing, Zhao Yanfei won the favor of Emperor Han Chengdi. After Emperor Cheng of Han abolished his wife, Queen Xu, he made Zhao Queen and named Zhao's sister Zhao Hede Zhao Yi. The Zhao sisters were loved by the harem for some time, and they were "brothers and sisters who have been spoiled for more than ten years". However, none of Zhao's sisters gave birth to a prince. In the fourth year of Yan Yuan (the first nine years), Liu Xin, nephew of Emperor Han Chengdi, entered the DPRK. Liu Xin's grandmother, Empress Fu, bribed Zhao, Zhao Hede and Han Chengdi's uncle Wang Gen with treasures, asking Liu Xin to be a prince. Sister Zhao persuaded Han Chengdi for their future plans. As a result, Liu Xin was indeed made a prince.
On March 18th, the second year of He Sui (the first seven years), Emperor Han Cheng died in Weiyang Palace in Chang 'an in Zhao Hede's arms at the age of 44. Because Emperor Hancheng had been strong and had no disease, he suddenly died. Both the court and the people believed that Zhao Hede had something to do with the death of Emperor Han Chengdi. Empress Xiao Yuan, the mother of Emperor Cheng of Han Dynasty, wrote a letter: "The emperor suddenly collapsed and the masses blamed it. The court ordered the assistant minister to wait around the backyard, and the swallow approached and asked the emperor about his illness. " Life mang, prime minister to investigate the cause of death of Emperor Han Chengdi. Zhao Hede knew that the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had something to do with himself and committed suicide without any resistance or excuse.
On April 8th, COVID-19 acceded to the throne as Emperor Ai of Han Dynasty. As Liu Xin became a prince and got Zhao's help, Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty honored Zhao as the Empress Dowager and made him a new Hou.
At that time, Zhao, as a consort, was sealed by two people. At that time, he was also respectful. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Only a few months after Emperor Ai ascended the throne, Zhao was impeached by eunuch Li Xieguang, urging the emperor to kill the prince who was born in Xu Hezhong Palace, demanding that "Zhao subverts the holy dynasty, destroys his own heirs, and his family will take the hindmost." ..... Today, Zhao Yi is particularly disobedient, and his crime is heavier than that of foreigners, but his relatives with the property are prominent, approaching Wei, and his ministers are chilling, so he is not so punishing evil and worshiping righteousness. Please be poor, and the Prime Minister will discuss the right law below. " Eddie then avoided the new Hou Qinzhao and Qin Zhao's younger brother Yang Houzhao? They are all from Shu Ren, and their families moved to Liaoxi County. But then Aidi remembered that Zhao helped him to ascend to the throne, and Aidi's grandmother, Empress Fu, had a close relationship with Zhao, so the matter went away, and Ye Zhao kept the position of the Empress Dowager. However, it also caused the dissatisfaction of Empress Xiao Yuan and Wang Shufei.
On June 27th, the second year of Yuanshou (BC 1 August, BC 15), Aidi died after seven years in office. The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, appointed Xinduhou as Fu, in charge of history, and at the same time issued a decree: "The former Empress Dowager and Zhaoyi took care of everything, and my brother and sister slept exclusively, plotting to make thieves and destroy their heirs." Empress Dowager Cixi was demoted to Queen Cheng Xiao and moved to Gong Bei. "In July, General Wang Shun and Zuo Xian sent a car to meet Liu Kan, the king of Zhongshan, to celebrate the festival. Liu Kan has not yet arrived in Chang 'an, and the new emperor has not acceded to the throne. Wang also wrote a letter: "The queen knows that she is guilty and has lost her virginity. There is no common swearing-in ceremony, but there is the poison of wolves and tigers, the hatred of the imperial clan and the hatred at home. She is still in the position of a small army, really not an emperor. A little husband can't bear to be great, and good things can't be cut by righteous things. Today, the Queen is abolished as Shu Ren, which is her garden. "
Under Wang Mang's persuasion, Zhao Yanfei was blamed for disturbing the harem and murdering the emperor. First, he was demoted as the Empress Dowager and became the Empress Dowager Cheng Xiao, and then he was demoted as Shu Ren, who was ordered to live in the cemetery of Emperor Hancheng. Zhao couldn't accept this fact. The day after he committed suicide, the imperial edict was abolished as Shu Ren.
