"Hold Jin Wu" is equivalent to the current commander of the capital garrison. Liu Xiu's greatest political pursuit at that time was this. However, he did not expect that the times made heroes, and later Liu Xiu became the Guangwu Emperor of Zhongxing Han Dynasty.
We can imagine that if Yin Lihua, who is as beautiful as a flower, marries Liu Xiu prematurely, and Liu Xiu can get an official position in Wang Mang's regime, under the drag of flowers and plants, or under the condition of being content with the status quo, Liu Xiu may be content with the status quo, not striving for progress, and no longer have the fighting spirit and heroism of desperately seeking development. During this period, many Hao teenagers asked Yin for relatives, but they all tasted the taste of tactfully refusing. Liu Xiu dare not make a move. Besides, it is difficult to gain a foothold in Wang Mang's new dynasty. In order to fulfill his two wishes, the times forced him to seek another development at all costs.
After Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, he carried out a series of resolute reform measures, such as restoring the well-field system, establishing economic systems such as six customs, five averages and credit loans, reforming the currency system, restoring the ancient system and changing the official system. Because of inadequate preparation and immature conditions, economic depression, people's poverty, drought for years, and thieves are rampant.
At that time, there were many insurgents, including the Red Eyebrow Army in Shandong and the Xincheng, Xiajiang and Pingbinglin soldiers in Hubei. 28-year-old Liu Xiu and his brother Ada? Together, they took the opportunity to use clan forces to fight and join forces to enter Nanyang's greenwood heroes. In order to conform to the trend of people's hearts, they elected Liu Xuan, the imperial clan of the Han Dynasty, as emperor. Under the slogan of "fighting against the mang and restoring the Han Dynasty", they made a makeover and were invincible all the way, and all the Central Plains regions returned to "outlaws".
My younger brother, with growing popularity, was suspected by Liu Xuan and refused to turn over a new leaf. He was killed by Qin Shihuang on trumped-up charges. Liu Xiu, who led the troops outside, knew his weakness, endured grief and took the initiative to return to Wancheng to apologize. At this moment, the Yin brothers, who had fought side by side, were deeply moved by their great prospects, seized the opportunity and persuaded their families to marry Yin Lihua. Instead of holding a funeral for her brother, Liu Xiu married Yin Lihua, her lover whom she admired for many years. After her wedding night, she ate and drank every day, and it seemed that she was enjoying herself in time. Liu Xuan comforted him that Liu Xiu was just an ordinary person, so he could avoid being killed.
In the face of his brother's death, Liu Xiu could only smile and secretly cry at night. Yin Lihua comforted her husband: "The emperor turned over a new leaf and was narrow-minded, so he was addicted to debauchery since childhood. In order to protect themselves, it is better to develop in Hebei, or the camera is unique. " Yin Lihua is a woman, but Liu Xiu listens to her very much. Her words pointed out a correct path and direction for Liu Xiu. Through some plans, Yin Lihua, the bride of 19 years old, returned to her parents' home for temporary residence. Liu Xiu led a hundred thousand troops across the Yellow River with a nominal special envoy title, abolished tyranny all the way, overcame all difficulties, won the hearts of the people and won the love and support of the people of Hebei. It was here that Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty. His "Twenty-eight Generals of Yuntai" also comes from this area.
At that time, there was a warlock, Wang Lang, who lived by divination. When he got together, he pretended to be Liu Ziyu, the son of Emperor Han Chengdi, and became independent and had certain strength, which was a stumbling block to Liu Xiu's expansion in Hebei. It is true that Wang Liuyang gathered more than 654.38 million troops, obeyed Handan in Wang Lang, and refused to join Liu Xiu. Herry Liu personally persuaded Liu Yang, and Liu Yang reluctantly agreed, but put forward the conditions for marrying Liu Xiu. Liu Yang has a niece named Guo Shengtong who wants to choose a good husband for her. As an expedient measure, I had to promise to marry the Guo family, and finally I got a good soldier to defeat Wang Lang and clear Hebei. He refused the title given by the emperor and found a new way to form his own school. Soon, the emperor was located in Qian Qiu Pavilion in the south of the Ministry, with Jianwu as the title and Luoyang and Henan as its capital.
The year after Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor, he proposed to establish a queen. There is a Yin family and a Guo family, so on the issue of conferring the queen, there is a question, whether to let the Guo family be the heir or let Yin Lihua be the heir. On the one hand, it is the Guo family, a confidante who shares weal and woe. In the army, despite my busy schedule, the Guo family always followed around and showed great love. At this time, they only got a noble title, which was obviously low in status. On one side is Yin Lihua, the wife that Liu Xiu dreamed of and finally got her wish. Liu Xiu was determined to give her the position of the queen, and Jun Fu, the assistant minister in the starry night, welcomed her to Luoyang. Unexpectedly, Yin Lihua said: "I can't forget the bitterness, Guo Guiren has been born." Emperor Guangwu insisted on refusing to accept the queen's conferment, so he had to let the Guo family be his heir and named Yin Lihua as a noble.
Yin Lihua's modesty is inseparable from her family style. At the beginning of epoch-making, Yin Shi, Yin Lihua's brother, was active in the army. Liu Xiuben proposed to make an exception to show compensation for Yin Lihua, but Yin Shi declined, he said; "At the beginning of the world, generals have many merits, and the relationship between ministers and consorts cannot explain that the world is unfair." This is the second year of Jianwu. Two years later, Emperor Guangwu's Taigong Yin Lihua conquered Chong Peng and gave birth to a son in Hebei, the later Emperor Han Ming. Yin Li-hua's other brother, Yin Xing, was an assistant minister of Huangmen at that time, commanding Wuqi and conquering with the army. He is Liu Xiu's personal bodyguard. Every time he goes in and out, he takes a small umbrella to shelter Liu Xiu from the wind and rain. In the ninth year of Jianwu, Liu Xiusheng promoted him to assistant minister and made him the Hou of Shanhaiguan Pass. The national seal was ready, but Yin Xing resolutely refused: "I didn't get the merit of landing at the beginning, but several people in my family were knighted, which shocked everyone in the world." I really don't want to. " Afterwards, Yin Lihua privately asked his brother why he said this. Yin Xing retorted, "Don't you study? Dragons have regrets, and prosperity leads to decline. Mother-in-law's family doesn't know how to retire! "
In the ten years after Liu Xiuen proclaimed himself the emperor, he finally made the world return to the center, realized the situation of unification, and suppressed Wu Xiuwen instead. Regulate officials and people, preserve ministers, and advocate righteousness. Yin Lihua also gave birth to five children. Finally, in the seventeenth year of Jianwu, Queen Guo was abolished and Yin Lihua was appointed as the queen.
I personally drafted the imperial edict, explaining the abolition of Queen Guo and the establishment of Yin Lihua. "Queen Guo is resentful and has repeatedly violated fatwas, so she can't caress her son. He is training in another room. If he sees an eagle, it has nothing to do with the virtue of having no opinion, but the wind of land and fire. How can you entrust a young orphan to him, respectfully? Today, I sent Da Situ to attend the ceremony, and Zong Zheng Liu Ji held a ceremony to present the Queen's seal. Yin Guiren is a good family in the village and belongs to the humble. One is to resign, for a long time, respectfully and humbly. He should serve the ancestral temple and be the mother of the world. Abnormal things, not the weakness of the country, can not be celebrated on birthday. "Liu Xiu felt sorry for Yin Lihua for a long time, and finally got the chance to compensate. Although Yin Lihua really doesn't want to be a queen, she also understands Liu Xiu's kindness to her and is naturally satisfied. But she is still original, courteous and kind, modest and restrained, unwilling to laugh and ridicule, cautious and kind-hearted. The whole world calls her a virtuous queen.
In the thirty-second year of Liu Xiu's reign, he began to deal with the affairs of state affairs until the day moved to the west. In the afternoon, ministers are often called to talk about the scriptures, and in the evening, they read them by candlelight until midnight. The Crown Prince once used Liu Xiu's rest time to persuade him: "Your Majesty has the wisdom of Yutang, but he has lost the blessing of health care in his later years. He is willing to rest his spirit and enjoy it. " Liu Xiuxiao smiled and said; "I never get tired of listening!"
Yin Lihua was modest and virtuous all her life. He is in charge of the harem. He never interferes in state affairs, but he can restrain his family more, so that Liu Xiu has no worries and concentrates on state affairs. Only then did the era of "rejuvenating the country with light weapons" emerge. After Liu Xiu's death, Yin Lihua's son acceded to the throne, that is, Emperor Han Ming, honoring Yin Lihua as the Empress Dowager. Seven years later, Yin Lihua died at the age of 60 and was buried in Liu Xiuyuan's mausoleum.
The emperor's marriage rarely has a happy result, but Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua have enviable harmony. This is of course due to Liu Xiu's generosity and kindness, cherishing old feelings, and Yin Lihua's beauty, integrity and self-enjoyment are the most important factors.
Although a queen like Yin Lihua started, the Eastern Han Dynasty eventually died of a consort. Dou Taihou and Empress Deng controlled the state affairs through their fathers and brothers, forming a situation in which consorts and eunuchs alternated in authoritarian power at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was unexpected by Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua.
