China has a history of more than one thousand and five thousand years. Chinese culture is even more extensive and profound, including primitive society, slave society, and feudal society. In ancient feudal society, women’s status is very low and they have no right to speak at home. The patriarchal thought is very serious. Basically, women can't get out of the door, and the second door is not open. If the conditions are good, they are learning embroidery and working as female workers. If the family is not good, they are doing housework at home, while men are waiting to be served. The status of men and women is very different. equality.
There was a humble woman born in ancient times. She changed the fate of her life through her own efforts to change the wonderful life of an otherwise ineffective life and became the queen of the maternal ritual world. She is a very famous queen in history. , Dou Yifang Dou empress , let’s take a look at her historical story.
▲Dou Yifang
The Queen Mother Dou, who is said to be named Dou Yifang, her birth year is unknown, and she died in the first 135 years. She has gone through three dynasties, from a civilian woman to the Queen Mother of the Han Dynasty. It only took 24 years.
Disputes in troubled times, to find a way to survive
Dou Yifang grew up in poverty and had an older brother and younger brother. At that time, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were vying for the world. The country was unstable, the people were miserable, and even food and clothing became a problem. The father couldn't bear the children starving, so he asked to go out to find food. At that time, the war was raging, everyone was busy avoiding disasters, no one was growing food at all, and the wild vegetables on the mountain were dug clean. As a last resort, he chose to go fishing deep in the mountains. The terrain was dangerous and few people went, but unfortunately, on the way back, he fell into the abyss and lost his life, making this already difficult family even worse. After her mother learned the news, she couldn't afford to be ill, and finally died of depression. Dou Yifang was only 13 years old that year, but she was extraordinarily sensible. She took the initiative to take care of the family,She will do all the dirty work, as long as she can feed her family, she is willing to do anything.
▲Dou Yifang and Liu Heng
After Liu Bang won the world, Dou Yi was selected into the palace by chance and became a palace lady by chance. This is the beginning of a change of fate. She also lost contact with her elder brother from this time. Lvhou For the purpose of dictatorship, the descendants of Liu surnamed were sent to various fiefs to keep them away from the palace and avoid affecting the ruling. After the death of the great ancestor Liu Han, Hou Lu began to interfere in state affairs. In order to appease the princes and kings, she selected some court ladies in the palace to give them to the princes. Sent to on behalf of the country.
Dou Yifang originally wanted to be sent to the country of Zhao, which is close to his hometown. He also specially greeted the eunuch assigned to him, but the eunuch may have forgotten and sent him to a remote country. It was the wrong opportunity that opened her legendary life. The so-called confession of one's power and loss of one's horse, how to know is not a blessing. Dou Yifang was very sad when she learned that she could not go to the country of Zhao, and she also hated the supervisor's eunuch. She was very worried along the way, her face was melancholy, and her pitiful appearance, which caused the Wang Liu Heng's Notice.
▲Dou Yifang and Liu Heng
At this time, Liu Heng was 14 years old, and he saw the pitiful Dou Yi room at a glance, which made Liu Heng feel sorry for him. At the same time, Dou Yi's house is not bad, and her personality is gentle and considerate. After entering the palace, Liu Heng often lived in her dormitory. He was loved by Liu Heng and gave birth to two sons and a daughter. When Dou Yi entered the palace, the Dai Wang had a queen, but the queen was fateful and died very early, so Liu Heng, the Dai Wang, never had a queen. And the harem can’t be without a master for a day. Liu Heng liked Dou Yifang very much and wanted to make her the queen, but Dou Yifang refused.Dou Yifang felt that the queen had just passed away, and now she was immediately behind. For fear that others would gossiping, the matter of the queen would have been pushed back all the time.
Later, Liu Heng told his mother the Queen Mother Bo, who was very happy after hearing this. She praised Dou Yi's room as a queen and expressed her appreciation, which made Liu Heng heart. I was very happy and loved Dou Yi's room even more, and then gave birth to the eldest son Liu Qi, the second son Liu Wu, and the youngest daughter Liu Prostitute, which consolidated his position in the dynasty. A few years later, Dou Yifang naturally became the queen of the country. She and Liu Heng have always been happy and loving, and they have become the envy of the world.
▲Dou Yifang
The palace has changed and the day has come to be reigned as Yufujun
When Liu Heng and Dou Yifang were very affectionate, I did not expect that a place in the palace of Chang'an city took place far away After the coup d'etat, Liu Bang died, the prince Liu Ying ascended the throne and was known as the Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty in history. But at that time Hou Lu interfered in internal affairs, and Liu Ying really had no power. Everything was done by Hou Lu behind the scenes. But Hou Lu's cruelty was very vicious and dictatorship, and Liu Ying was very dissatisfied with what Hou Lu did, but was powerless, and the uppermost member died in depression within a few years. After Liu Ying passed away, Empress Lu still did not change her practice. Instead, she became more intensified. The country could not have no one for a day, but Liu Ying had no children. Empress Lu seized the son of others. In order to avoid future troubles, she killed her mother. He claimed to be the child of Liu Ying and the empress, and made him the emperor, called the young emperor.
Paper can’t contain fire. After the young emperor grew up, he learned of his own life and was very angry. He openly declared war on Empress Lu, saying that he would avenge his mother. Empress Lu abolished the young emperor in anger. Called a ridiculous palace farce. And Hou Lu was also exhausted at the center of various struggles, and finally died of illness. After the death of Queen Lu’s illness, many ministers in the DPRK were dissatisfied with Queen Lu’s dictatorship.Immediately after Lu Queen’s various forces were swept out of the palace, the Lu family was also slaughtered. After cleaning up the remaining forces after Lu, the country could not be left alone. The ministers in the court secretly went to the country and invited Liu Heng to enter. The palace is the emperor.
▲Dou Yifang and Liu Heng
The acting king Liu Heng had no intention of fighting for the emperor, but the court minister strongly recommended Liu Heng to be the emperor and felt that Liu Heng was the most suitable candidate. Liu Heng has been working diligently for the benefit of the people during his ten years in the reign of the country. Under the guidance of his mother, the Empress Dowager, his personality is also very calm. Although Liu Heng is not in the imperial palace, his style of work has always been well received and loved by everyone, so everyone agreed that Liu Heng should be emperor. And the unprepared Liu Heng was pushed to the mouth of the wave. Dou Yifang also fully supported Liu Heng to enter the palace as emperor, and encouraged him to believe in himself. This is the arrangement of fate. Liu Heng was supported by Dou Yifang and the Minister of Korea. Became the emperor, historically known as Hanwen Emperor.
It is logical to become the queen son and be crowned prince
Because the original generation queen passed away, and the sons of him and Liu Heng also passed away, the most suitable candidates for the prince are Liu Heng and Dou. The eldest son Liu Qi born to Yifang. The Empress Dowager Bo also has his own caution. In order to consolidate his natal position, he wanted his grand niece to become a princess, but the smart Dou Yifang understood her meaning and followed the empress Dowager Bo’s meaning, although Liu Qi was not quite right. He liked the queen dowager’s granddaughter, but he accepted it. He knew that his mother’s intentions were good, so he did not violate the instructions. In this way, Liu Qi became the prince with the support of the Queen Mother Bo and his mother Dou Yifang, and Dou Yifang also took advantage of the trend. To become a queen.
Dou Yifang became the queen, and did not kill the concubines in the harem as brutally as Queen Lu, but helped the emperor to keep the harem in order and get along with each other in an orderly and peaceful manner. He also won the respect of the concubines, even in the harem. With a strong right to speak, he truly achieved the world of mother rites.
▲Dou Yifang
Looking for someone to return home, the wish is realized
Dou Yifang has always had two wishes,One is to find her brother, and the other is to do her filial piety for her late parents. The first wish has not been fulfilled, but the second wish, the emperor has helped her come true. Dou Yifang’s parents died early, and Emperor Wen knew about Dou. After Yifang's wish, Dou Yifang was very touched by the title of his parents, in order to tell him the spirit of the sky. The realization of the second wish made her feel that she had let go of a major event in her heart.
A young man named Dou Shaojun heard the rumors and felt that his life experience was similar. He lost contact with his sister when he was five years old. Later, he felt more and more that Queen Dou was his sister, and he wrote to the emperor, saying that he might be the younger brother Queen Dou had been looking for. After the emperor inquired about Dou Shaojun, he took him to see Queen Dou. After some detailed understanding, Queen Dou confirmed that Dou Shaojun was her long-lost brother. Although the two were separated since they were young, they still remember everything from their childhood.
▲After Dou Yifang and Liu Heng met, the emperor rewarded Dou Shaojun with a lot of property and land, but she thought it should not be so extravagant and only let Dou Shaojun accept it A small part reflects the frugality and simplicity of Queen Dou. Later, he also used his own gold and silver jewelry to make up for the deficit caused by the reward, which was deeply loved by the emperor.
Soon after, Queen Dou's elder brother was also found. The brothers and sisters who had been separated for many years finally reunited. When they were happy to be reunited, on the other hand they were worried. When the minister of Korea saw that the queen suddenly had two young and strong brothers, he was very worried that he would repeat the mistakes of the Queen Lu and join the brothers in plotting wrong, so he tried his best to prevent the Dou brothers from entering the palace and be a rich idler. Faced with the doubts of the ministers, Queen Dou understood very well and did not want to embarrass the emperor, so she agreed to the ministers' proposal and said that no matter what decision the emperor made, she would support him. Empress Dou's empathy has won the emperor's love, and the emperor has respected and loved her even more since then.
Although Queen Dou’s brother failed to enter Beijing to serve as officials, the wealth and land granted to them by the emperor are enough for them to live a lifetime.Without the care of Queen Dou, they might still be running around for a living. Queen Dou has a kind and honest character and will not do anything against morality. I believe this is also the best arrangement.
Blindness caused a turning point in life
Dou Yifang is a clever woman, he has cultivated his children into excellent people, the eldest son Liu Qicai was established as the prince, the second son Liu Wu, both civil and military, was named Liang Wang, and his daughter Liu Prostitute was named Princess Guantao. Outstanding children have become the biggest trump card in Dou Yifang's hand.
Life is not always going smoothly. Dou Yifang suffered a serious illness within a few years of being a queen, which caused blindness in both eyes. There is no detailed record in the history books because she lost her sight. At the age of ten, after blindness, he gradually lost the favor of the emperor, but the status of the queen remained unshakable.
▲Mrs. Shen
At this time, there was a major change in their feelings. The emperor began to favor Mrs. Shen, and he loved Mrs. Shen more. Usually attending banquets will make Mrs. Shen and the queen on the same level. . Although the emperor does not favor the queen alone as much as before, he respects the queen and will take her wherever he goes. At one banquet, the emperor still let Madam Shen sit with the queen, which attracted the attention of Yuan Ang . He moved Madam Shen's position to the back seat, and Madam Shen and the emperor left the table angrily. Later, Yuan An told the emperor that Lu Hou turned and Mrs. Qi into an adult. He reminded the emperor not to harm Mrs. Shen, and he could give Mrs. Shen a reward with money. Regarding this, the emperor realized his mistake and said that he had messed up his seniority and should pay attention to etiquette in public. Although she has always petted Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen has never been able to give birth to a son, so she poses no threat to Queen Dou's status.
▲Dou Yifang and Liu Heng
After three dynasties, a generation of virtuous queens
After Liu Heng died,Prince Liu Qi succeeded to the throne, and he was called Emperor Jing in history. Dou Yifang changed from Queen Dou to Queen Mother, assisting his son in managing the affairs of the state. After Liu Qi came to power, he continued to implement his father's policy of governing the country, so that the people could live and work in peace and prosperity. However, Dou Yifang loved his second son Liu Wu very much, rewarded him with a lot of wealth, and was the king of Liang, but Liu Wu was not reconciled and wanted to be the emperor, and Dou Yifang knew Liu Wu’s thoughts and did not stop him. Instead, he hoped that Liu Qi could pass the throne to his younger brother. The ministers tried their best to stop him after learning about it, saying that he could not mess with the rules. The throne was usually heirs, and the King of Liang ended up in depression due to illness.
After Liu Qi died of illness, Prince Liu Che succeeded to the throne. He is known as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Dou Yifang is the Empress Dowager. Liu Che admired Confucianism, but the Queen Mother Dou had a prejudice against Confucianism. Not long after Liu Che came to power, Empress Dowager Dou passed away at Changle Palace . After the death of Empress Dowager Dou, Emperor Wu of began to implement the idea of "abolishing a hundred schools of Confucianism".
Throughout the life of Dou Yifang, it was full of twists and turns. Relying on her brilliant wisdom, she overcame obstacles along the way, assisted her husband, son, and grandson to govern the country, and pushed the Han Dynasty to its heyday. Her life is legendary, and it is also important in history. A woman can go through three dynasties, and her contribution is indispensable. Although she has been interfering in internal affairs, she did not miss the country, but was with the emperors of the past. Let the country prosper.
