Чэнь Цзиньфэн (陳金鳳) (893 [1] [2] – 17 ноября 935 [3] [4] ) была третьей известной женой Ван Яньцзюня (императора Хуэйцзуна, также известного как Ван Линь), правителя китайского государства Мин периода Пяти династий и Десяти королевств . Ван Яньцзюнь, хотя и не была первым правителем Мин, была первой, кто претендовал на императорский титул, а императрица Чэнь была первой императрицей Мин. Когда Ван Яньцзюнь был убит в 935 году, она также была убита.
Фон
Согласно ее биографии в Весенних и Осенних Летописях Десяти Королевств (十國春秋), Чэнь Цзиньфэн родилась в 893 году. Ее отцом, по закону, был Чэнь Янь , губернатор округа Фуцзянь (福建, со штаб-квартирой в современном Фучжоу , провинция Фуцзянь ) — однако в биографии указано, что Чэнь Янь не был ее биологическим отцом. Скорее, у Чэнь Янь была гомосексуальная связь с молодым красивым мужчиной, Хоу Лунем (侯倫), у которого впоследствии также был роман со своей наложницей леди Лу, что привело к беременности леди Лу. [1] После смерти Чэнь Яня в или вскоре после 891 года [5] леди Лу изначально была взята в дом его зятя Фань Хуэя (范暉), который изначально претендовал на титул исполняющего обязанности губернатора. Находясь в доме Фаня, госпожа Лу родила Чэнь Цзиньфэна (что означает «золотой феникс») — так как за одну ночь до рождения Чэнь Цзиньфэна ей приснился сон о том, как фэнхуан залетел ей в грудь. [1]
В 893 году Ван Шэньчжи , тогдашний генерал под началом своего брата Ван Чао, префекта префектуры Цюань (泉州, в современном Цюаньчжоу , провинция Фуцзянь ), захватил столицу Фуцзяня префектуру Фу (福州), и Фань был убит во время бегства, что позволило Ван Чао взять под контроль округ. [6] После поражения Фань Чэнь Цзиньфэн, тогда ещё ребёнок, по-видимому, потерялась среди простых людей, но в конечном итоге была принята своим соклановцем Чэнь Куаншэном (陳匡勝) и воспитана в его доме.

Как наложница Ван Шэньчжи
In 909, by which time Wang Shenzhi was the ruler of the circuit, now known as Weiwu Circuit (威武), he was also carrying the title of Prince of Min as a vassal of Later Liang.[7] That year, he was selecting women from well-reputed households to be his concubines. At that time, Chen Jinfeng was 16, and, according to the Spring and Autumn Annals of the Ten Kingdoms, was said to be beautiful and capable of dancing. Wang Shenzhi took her as a concubine, giving her the title of Cairen (才人).[1] (However, the Spring and Autumn Annals of the Ten Kingdoms also acknowledged that according to the more formal Zizhi Tongjian, she was said to be ugly and licentious, and also indicated that she was just a servant girl in Wang Shenzhi's palace, not a concubine.)[3] According to the Spring and Autumn Annals of the Ten Kingdoms, she was favored as much as Lady Huang, and he built her a palace near a lake so that she could often see the lake.[1]
As Wang Yanjun's concubine
Wang Shenzhi died in 925 and was succeeded by his son Wang Yanhan,[8] who in turn was killed around the new year 927 by his adoptive brother Wang Yanbing and younger biological brother Wang Yanjun, who then succeeded him.[9] It was said that at one point, when he was on a palace gate, he saw Chen Jinfeng and was enticed by her, and thereafter made her a concubine and gave her the consort title of Shufei (淑妃), favoring her greatly.[1]
As empress
In 933, Wang Yanjun claimed imperial title as the Emperor of Min (as Emperor Huizong).[10] In 935, he created Consort Chen empress,[3][11] bypassing his then-wife Lady Jin.[1] He also made Chen Kuangsheng and another clansman, Chen Shou'en (陳守恩), officials in his palace.[3]
That year, it was said that Empress Chen's stepson (Wang Yanjun's son) Wang Jipeng the Prince of Fu, was carrying on an affair with a lady-in-waiting, Li Chunyan. Wang Jipeng revealed this to Empress Chen and requested her help; Empress Chen thus explained this to Wang Yanjun for him and persuaded Wang Yanjun to give Li to Wang Jipeng.[3]
Meanwhile, though, it was said that in his late years, Wang Yanjun had suffered from strokes, and Empress Chen thereafter carried on affairs with his close associate Gui Shouming (歸守明) and another official, Li Keyin (李可殷). As Li Keyin had falsely accused the guard officer Li Fang (李仿), and Chen Kuangsheng had been disrespectful to Wang Jipeng, both Li Fang and Wang Jipeng resented the current situation. As Wang Yanjun's illness progressed, both Li Fang and Wang Jipeng thought he would die and that Wang Jipeng would get the chance to succeed him.[3]
On 16 November 935, Li Fang sent several soldiers to assassinate Li Keyin, greatly shocking the people of the Min state.[3][4] The next day (17 November),[4] Wang Yanjun was less ill, and Empress Chen informed him of Li Keyin's death. Shocked, he took his seat in the imperial hall and ordered an investigation into Li Keyin's death. In fear, Li Fang mobilized his troop and had them enter the palace. The soldiers wounded Wang Yanjun severely and his ladies-in-waiting, not willing to see him suffer further, killed him. Li Fang and Wang Jipeng thereafter killed Empress Chen, Chen Shou'en, Chen Kuangsheng, Gui, and Wang Jipeng's younger brother Wang Jitao (王繼韜), whom Wang Jipeng had long had a rivalry with. Wang Jipeng then took over the throne.[3]
