First of all, as a * * *, she wants to be a husband and a child, but she should do a good job as a wife; Secondly, she should lead by example, command the harem for the emperor and deal with the backyard; Finally, as the first lady, we should help the emperor and grasp the delicate balance between state affairs and family affairs. Therefore, through the ages, there are very few people who can be good queens, and even fewer who can be competent.
Why is Yin Lihua, the second queen of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, the most capable queen?
Who is the most capable queen in history? Yin Lihua, the second queen of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, had a happy marriage.
Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, the grandson of Emperor Gaozu IX and the descendant of Wang Ding, a native of Changsha, was orphaned at the age of nine and was fostered in the home of his uncle Liu Liang. He has two brothers, the elder brother Liu Bin and the second brother Liu Zhong. They are magnanimous and despise wealth and justice. Liu Xiu is a handsome man, generous, open-minded, wise and brave.
Does Liu Xiuai Yin Lihua?
Liu Xiu liked Yin Lihua from an early age. When he was a teenager, he made a wish-to marry Yin Lihua. At that time, this wish was just an irrelevant fantasy, because there were twelve emperors in the Han Dynasty, totaling 2 13 years, and there were many descendants of the emperors, so it was impossible to take care of them one by one. What's more, at that time, Wang Mang had usurped the throne, and Liu's descendants were killed. The Liu family lost its aristocratic status long ago, and it seems that the Liu family is not as good as the Yin family in the wealth and prestige of the village. Although Liu Xiu is familiar with Yin Lihua's beauty, it is still a very slim thing to really marry her. I was just thinking about it.
At that time, Liu Xiu had another wish. One day, when he was in Chang 'an, he saw that he was patrolling, crowding round and riding a car, so he sent out the feeling that "an official is Wu". "Defending Jin Wu" is equivalent to the current commander of the capital garrison, and Liu Xiu's greatest political pursuit at that time was just that.
If Yin Lihua, who is as beautiful as a flower, had married Liu Xiu early in the morning, and Liu Xiu was able to get an official position in Wang Mang's regime, under the drag of flowers and plants, or in the case of complacency, Liu Xiu might be content with the status quo and no longer have the fighting spirit and heroism of desperately seeking development. Helpless, many Tu teenagers have tasted the tactfulness of refusing to ask for relatives from Yin family, and they dare not act rashly. 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 without borrowing local work.
Liu Xiu persuaded Yin Lihua's family to marry him.
In the process of destroying Wang Mang, Liu Xiu made the greatest contribution. In 23 AD, thousands of "outlaws" were surrounded by 420,000 main force Wang Mang in Kunyang City. It was Liu Xiu who broke through with 18 men, brought back more than 30,000 reinforcements and defeated Wang Mang's army. From then on, the "outlaws" pushed forward, overthrew Wang Mang's rule and occupied Chang 'an. At this moment, the Yin brothers who fought side by side persuaded their families to marry Yin Lihua. It was precisely because of the combination of the two that Liu Xiucai escaped the bullet of the emperor's turn over a new leaf.
The emperor first killed Liu Xiu's younger brother Ada and turned over a new leaf. Liu Xiu can only smile on the surface. If he wants to cry, he will secretly cry at night. Yin Lihua comforted her husband: "The emperor turned over a new leaf, and his anger was narrow, and he indulged in debauchery on a small scale. In order to protect himself, he might as well go to Hebei for development or his camera is unique. " Yin Li Huawei Liu Xiu pointed out a correct path. Everything is well planned. 19-year-old bride goes back to her parents' home for temporary residence. Liu Xiu led a hundred thousand troops across the Yellow River with a nominal special envoy, went into exile all the way, abolished tyranny, overcame all difficulties and won the hearts of the people. On this basis, Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his "Twenty-eight Generals of Yuntai" also appeared in this area. It can be said that Yin Lihua not only made Liu Xiu avoid disaster, but also.
At that time, in Handan, there was a warlock Wang Lang who made a living by divination. Therefore, he was called Liu Ziyu, the son of Emperor Han Cheng, and became king alone, which was the main obstacle for Liu Xiu to expand his power in Hebei. In order to completely destroy him, Liu Xiu had to rely on the power of Liu Yang. As an expedient measure, he promised to marry Liu Yang's niece Guo, and finally borrowed 100,000 soldiers to defeat Wang Lang.
So on the issue of conferring the queen, there was a question of whether to make Guo the queen or Yin Lihua the queen. Although this Guo is a confidante in adversity, although in the army, despite her busy schedule, this Guo is always around, and she is pregnant, but she still got the title of a noble. Yin Lihua is Liu Xiu's wife, and Liu Xiu is bent on leaving the position of queen to her. 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.
What kind of person is Yin Lihua?
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 were more active, and the relationship between ministers and consorts could not explain the unfairness of the world." This is two years of reclamation.
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 younger 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 enjoy it!"
Yin Lihua was modest and virtuous all her life. He was in charge of the harem, never interfered in the court affairs, and was more able to restrain his family, so that Liu Xiu could have no worries and concentrate on governing the country. Only then did the era of "reviving the martial arts lightly" appear, which is the so-called "rule of culture and scenery".
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 ending, but the harmony between Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua is enviable. 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.
